CHARM: Administrative Maintenance in Prod.System

Hey,
I want to do some changes in my productive system, w/o involving the dev.system.
I know, that I have to create a Admin.Maintenance-Correction in CHARM.
Everything seems to be working. By clicking "log in in system" a new gui opened in the same productive client i am allready logged in.
But when i choose to create transport order in the task list, the transport order were created in the dev.system.
can anybody explan this to me
kind regard
dirk

Hi,
The Admin message is for performing non transportable changes in a system, the idea is basically document the administration changes. You use the Maintenance Task List just to log on to the system in which you want to perform the changes.

Can CHARM be activated if QA and Prod systems not defined yet?

Hi All.
We are starting to upgrade our system from CRM 4 to CRM 7.
Is it possible to setup/activate CHARM to manage transports for the CRM 7
system eventhough we only have a development system at the moment.
Our Basis Team will start defining the QA system next week and later the prod system.
I remember that when CHARM was activated on the CRM 4 system, the SolMan consultant mentioned that the environment (dev, QA and prod) should be all defined before activating CHARM. Is this true? Can we just define a dummy client?
Thanks,
Tess

Hi Tess,
yes, it is possible.
Via transaction SMSY you can describe the planned Q- and P-System at first as 'virtual'.
Create transport routes with transport buffers as you would do for existing systems.
For experimental purposes we connected our IDES-System to our development SolMan system.
In this environment we could map such a ChaRM-configuration.
In the meantime we practiced it in our production SolMan system, too.

SWF file is not working in Portal PROD System

Hi All,
We have written custom mxml script in Adobe Flex 3 which displays the list of applications stored in the DB. Then we have posted that .swf file into our Portal KM and then we have created one URL iView with the location from KM.
These days we are facing issue like the output of the script is not working means the applications are not listed on the portal prod system.
Whenever the issue arieses we are requested to upload the file once again into KM and it works after the upload been done.
We are not sure what could be the reason for this issue and I request any one to assist us to resolve this issue.
Please let me know if you need more info on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Vijaykumar K.

Hi Vijay,
I belive this should be a portal issue, anyways let me give it a try.
I never worked on flex in SAP but did similar stuff in portal content development.
Do you have any traces in that development..?
Did you check any messages being loged in portal...?
Check if there is any issue with the file like couldn't recognise a resource from KM which is required etc.

Error while generating export datasource in Test and Prod system

Hi experts,
I tried to generate export datasorce on a cube in teh testing system so that i can use this as a datasource for another cube. I did this so that i can transport all teh relevnt objects from D to T. But Iam gettin teh following erro msg
System setting does not allow changes to be made to object ISTD 80CRM_PRI.
while Prod system produces teh follwoing error msg
Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted
Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel'.
After i have done this and when i go to the context menu of teh infocube i can see maintain export datasource option.
Also I couldn't see the infosource generated in Infosources ( FYI I have already done display generated objects under settings)
Can anyone tell me how to proceed further.
Thanks,
DV

Hi DV,
Generally export datasource are not included in the request from the test server. It gets generated automatically when (ODS,Cube) based on which the datasource s transported to production / quality .
I think solution should be try not to include export datasource, infosource ,transfer rules to request from dev server.
Hope that helps.

How to remove Variable-Values prior to transporting to prod-system?

Hi specialists,
I've got the following problem:
We've got a mixed BEx-client-environment with user using BEx 3.5 as well as BEx 7.x.
So I create workbooks with BEx-Analyzer 3.5 and transport them from the developement-system to the production-system.
The problem: Obviously the variable-selection that I used at last in the developement-system is saved in the workbook. So let's say I tested the query in the dev-system with "DE01" as value for the company_code on the variable screen, then this value is saved in the workbook and transported to the prod-system.
In the production-system the value is not replaced anymore by the users permitted company-code values (the variable is based on the users permissions), but the user has to remove this "DE01" manually and has to enter all his personal company-codes manually - which makes the permission-bases-variable senseless.
Even if I clear all variable-values in the developement system (which is not possible for mandatory variables) prior to saving the workbook, the issue is the same: This time empty fields are presented in the prod-system, but the permission-based-variable isn't set correctly - the field stays empty (=exactly as it was when I saved the workbook in the dev-system).
So, how can I clear the variable-screen-values before I save and transport the workbook to the prod-system? The only way (and it is certainly not the recommended one) i found: If I cancel the query at once after having confirmed the variable-screen and save/transport that query, then the variables seem to be really empty and the permission-based variables in the prod-system work.

So, when user run the report in production, they will have to remove # for mandatory variables and put thier value.
Mh - most of our reports have variables for "company_code","sales_org" (for example).
Normaly this fields are not mandatory but optional.
But: Normaly if the user opens such a variable-screen (for the first time) the company_code and sales_org are preset according to the users permissions for this chars.
If I follow your description, then the variable-screen would open with "#" or "" - but wouldn't be replaced by the user's permitted values anymore :/ - hence the phone rings because the users didn't manage to restrict the variables to their permitted values.
Maybe this is a case for an oss-message for the area BW-BEX-ET-USAB Userability Frontend....

Consistency between dev and prod systems!!!!

Hi All,
I wuld like to check the consistency between Dev and Prod systems for all the Data model and other objects existing. I would like to do this sanity check to see whether the two systems are in sync. Are there any tools or transaction codes within SAP framework which can guide me in this direction.
Kind Regards,
Surya Tamada.

Hi Surya ,
First build whole data flow :
1 .Create Infoarea ,Infoobjects & Masterdata ,Infoproviders ,Infoobject Catelog under Infoarea,MetaData - Characteristics MeteData - Key Figures
2 DSOs ,Infocubes ,Infosets, Multiproviders ,Views in the development system ,Datasources for BW system,Flat File Datasources,Transformations
then get data from the se11 tables as per your requirement :
like RSDVCHA ,RSDBCHATR,RSDCUBEIOBJ,RSDICMULTIIOBJ etc and built view on it as per your requirement .
then built flat file data sources and transformation .
get all data downloaded to flat file in ur PC .In the same way from other system.
make flow from PC File Datasource -> DSO -> Infocube and build queries for different objects .load the downloaded files to them and then run query .
ex : query to compare cube will take cube name and systems name as input and compare objects .

Source System Mapping between BW Dev and Prod system

Hi,
I have a DB Connect Source System in BW Dev system called DBSRCDEV which points to one of our Oracle Dev DB.
In Production, the DB Connect Source System is called DBSRCPROD and it points to the corresponding Oracle Prod DB.
In Development, I created a data source on this Source System (DBSRCDEV) and I tried to transport it to Production. But it failed with error saying that DBSRCDEV does not exist.
Where and how can I maintain or configure the mapping between DBSRCDEV and DBSRCPROD Source System so that I can transport my data source to Production?
Please help.
Thanks,
CH

Hi,
usually you need to maintain the setting for the change of the logical system name (source system) in each target system of a transport. So in your prod system goto rsa1->tools->change logical system names...
After maintaining that table, try to import your request again.

Integration Directory (ID) transport to Prod system

I am trying to move XI ID and IR to prod system thru file system transport. When I transport ID requests and activate it keeps complaining "Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import"
I checked the ID there are no open requests in my id or others all have been closed.
I would also like to know if there is a way to completely transport the Integration Directory (ID) objects either scenario or service objects along with their change lists
Thanks
Subbu

hi,
Change lists were not part of the same import"
Make sure you have activated change lists open under ur id and check if any for other userid
 would also like to know if there is a way to completely transport the Integration Directory (ID) objects either scenario or service objects along with their change lists
Once you have activated the changelists you can either transport the whole scenario(right click on scenario and export) or transport individual objects using the tools-> export option on the tool bar of ID.

Regarding set up table filling in R3 prod system

Hi Expert,
When I fill set-up table for Billing LIS data-source . It is taking lot of time, All though Data-volume is very less (Around 1 Lakh) .
It is taken almost 50000 sec and still running .
Please help.
Thanks
Devesh Varshney

Hi,
Prod system will be busy during your set up tables filling time.
Try to check ECC system load burden and fill set up tables data when system have required free application servers(SM50/51). Even try to fill set up tables in background.
if possible, use selections and fill set up tables.

Unable to release package administration lock for this system

Hi,
I created a Solaris package, but at the end of installation (on a Solaris 10 sparc) I get :
#pkgadd -d MyApp_version__SunOS_sparc.pkg
Installation of <MyAppName> was successful.
pkgadd: ERROR: ERROR: Unable to release package administration lock for
this system; try again later
pkgadd: ERROR: ERROR: Unable to release package administration lock for
this system; try again later
The solution is to delete:
#rm rf /tmp/.ai.pkg.zone.lock*
Then some lib issues occur .. fixed by:
#cd /usr/lib
#ln -sf ../../lib/libdlpi.so.1 libdlpi.so.1
Then I can install and uninstall without any problems as many time as I need.
Why does this issues occur when the package is first install on a system ?
Thanks,
Bianca

Hi Alan,
In the postinstall script I only handle the configuration files that my application has (all the files are in the /app/MyApp directory, no system files involved). I use the read user input and replace the values in the config file, and create another 2 files (also in /app/MyApp directory). This is all I do.
I use the packaging scripts: depend, copyright, pgkinfo, preinstall, request, postinstall, preremove, postremove
Thanks,
Bianca

Using ChaRm with 2 Development (source) systems

Good Day;
Before I get into the full description of an issue we are facing. I would like to know if anyone out there is using ChaRM and has 2 development systems defined.
Regards
Don

Thanks Avinash
This is the problem I am having
We have 2 landscapes each with a development and quality system. Also there is a single volume test system. Both landscapes point to a single production system. So it would look like this
DW3           DW4
QW1           QW2
           VW1
            PW1
The DW3 landscape is defined as the production landscape (normal releases) and the DW4 landscape is defined as the emergency landscape. The emergency landscape is synchronized with the production landscape during a normal release.
The migration path for a normal release would be DW3, QW1, VW4, (now synchronizing) DW4, QW2, PW1.
The migration path for an emergency fix would be DW4, QW2, VW4 (if performance testing is required), PW1.
All these systems are defined in the ChaRM landscape
When a task list is generated, you are asked which development system, DW3 or DW4. When the task list is generated, it starts at DW4, QW2, PW1, DW3, QW1, PW1 (We have not defined a volume VW4 system in or test landscape).
As well when a creating a transport, and DW3 is selected, ChaRm generates an error stating the task list is out of sequence,
You will notice that the task list goes to PW1 twice. Is there a way to generate the task list in the correct order. DW3, QW1, DW4, QW2 and PW1.
Regards
Don Newton

Transport for SCAL 'factory calender' or administer SCAL in prod system?

Hi togehther,
we could change the factory calender in the development system and afterwords transport this changes by using a transport request and STMS.
But our Consultants recommend not to transport these changes. They recommend to open the prod System with SCC4 to open status (Changes are allowed) and then make the changes in the prod system.
I think, this is the wrong way. How do you solve this probem?
Carsten Schulz
Teamlead SAP-Basis

Hi ,
You are consultants are right because SAP clear tells that "You cannot transport individual public holidays or calendars. You can only transport calendar data in its entirety. When you do this, all public holidays, public holiday and factory calendars existing in the target system are deleted".
As from your mail i understood that in development system,all users have access to to SCAL transaction,if some users have craeted or changed the factory calendar changes.all this changes get in to trnsport request which in turn affect the calendars in production system.
Thats Y in some industries,Consultants will do the changes through fire fighter ID directly in production or in some industries for development system SCAL authorization will not be given to all.so that as Juregn pointed development and production system will be in SYnc and you can do transport.
In this situation you can try one more option,after generating the transport request go to SE01 ,go to change mode and edit the request (double click on the request).
then go to obects tab you will see lot of tables related to factory calendar.check each tables in SE16 for the calendar you made the changes.if entries are there retain the table else delete the table.
If entries are there,then double click on the table,you will get the table key.in that put calendar id if there is only one entry,if more entries are ther e put calendar id suffix star.and save.
Check this solution first intest system and ensure whether it is trnsaporting only the particular changes

Delete orphaned objects in Prod system

Hi all,
When our BW landscape was set up years ago, some test source systems were created (along with DataSources etc) in the BW DEV system and migrated into QAS and PROD. The source system in DEV was deleted long ago, but there are remnants still left in our PROD system.
Since PROD is locked to any changes and Source Systems are not transportable anyways, I believe the only way to delete the objects in PROD is to have our BASIS team unlock the system and then delete the source system which should also delete any objects associated with it.
Just wondering if there any other options to remove the old objects from PROD, or if opening the system and deleting is the best way to go? Many of those were created as 3.x versions, and I am preparing for an eventual upgrade to our 7.1 system. Therefore, I am trying to eliminate or update any of these old 3.x objects to prevent any issues during upgrade.
Thanks!
Darryl

Hi Erica,
The best option to make the production and quality system in sync is to copy the Production system into the Quality system. Your basis team can do this. In this case, both the Production and the Quality system will be in sync and the development system will remain the same to update the the quality system at some later stage.
Hope this helps...

How to compare all macros in the Macro workbench with DeV & Prod system

I have one issue with macros, all the macros in maco workbebnch in developement system are not in sink with Production system.
I want to campare macros in both the system & based on comparison need to add or deactivate macros in the Developement system & move Transport request to accross the landscape like Dev-QA& Prod system.so that all macros are in sink with three different system.
Can anybody advice,Is there any tool or T-code that compare all the macros in the two different systems.

This code is different from yours. For one thing, the first part, where inOrder is false, is not included because you did not post what behavior that is supposed to perform. The code below does what you posted...it puts some Strings into a Stack, then parses the Stack. If adj is followed by NP* then adj is removed. Then the new Stack is parsed to find det followed by NP*, and det is removed while NP* is changed to NP.
import java.util.Stack;
import java.util.Vector;
public class Test {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 Stack stack=new Stack();
 Stack stack2=new Stack();
 String[] s={"no","adj","NP*","adj","not","NP*","adj","NP*","dumb","det","NP*"};
 for(int i=s.length-1;i>-1;i--) stack.push(s);
stack=structureCheck(stack,"adj","NP*","NP*");
for(int i=stack.size()-1;i>-1;i--)
System.out.println(stack.elementAt(i));
System.out.println();
stack=structureCheck(stack,"det","NP*","NP");
for(int i=stack.size()-1;i>-1;i--)
System.out.println(stack.elementAt(i));
public static Stack structureCheck(Stack s,String tofind,String tomatch,String tochangeto) {
Stack orderStack = new Stack();
for(int i=0;i<s.size();i++) {
String str=(String) s.elementAt(i);
if(i<s.size()-1 && str.equals(tomatch) && ((String) s.elementAt(i+1)).equals(tofind)) {
i++;
orderStack.add(tochangeto);
} else
orderStack.add(str);
return orderStack;
