ChaRM migration to New Solman System

Hi,
We are planning to Migrate old Solman system ChaRM to new Solman ChaRM.
Now how can I migrate RFCs & CDs to new Solman system ChaRM.
Regards
P K

Hi PK
There is no tool for moving the SLFN documents from one solman to the other. The only option to keep the already created tickets is to upgrade the the existing solman system to release 7.1.
In SOlman 7.1 SM* transaction types are comming so during the upgrade we don´t make any changes to the old transaction types like SLFN, so the upgrade should not change your current configuration in solman 7.0 for incident management.
You will not have any impact on Service Desk when using the old transaction type SLFN.
So there can be only one recommendation for your situation:
Perform an UPGRADE and please don't go for a fresh installation with data migration afterwards.
There is no easy transfer of CRM document (as incidents, change requests, issues, top issues, ...) available.
Advantages of the upgrade:
- standard procedure
- configuration and data is available after the upgrade
The solman 7.1 is coming with new transaction types that you need to customizing and it is not touching the old transaction types existing in solman 7.0.
Please, take a look at this:

Transporting SolMan project with Aris integration to new SolMan system

We have a sandbox SolMan that was installed for temporary use, and some people on the team have done some process modeling with Aris. We need to move this to a new SolMan development system that we're about to install. I haven't really found good documentation on doing this, but in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, I do have the option to transport a complete project. Can I do this, and then manually import that transport request into the new Dev system? What has to be done on the Aris side to insure consistency?

Hi David,
There is not a lot of information about this topic. Just finished a project migration at the customer site. I used the solar_migration transaction, worked very good. But has some downsites, test plans are not migrated anc change documents. Be carefully with content repository this really painful. Even the Aris synchronisation worked because the SAP ids are not replaced.

Ralph

Data Migration from R3 to new ECC System

Hello,
We are doing a fresh implementation for SAP MDM. Currently we have 3 SAP R/3 systems and 1 non-R3 system (BPCS system). One of the project goals is to do data migration from all these 4 systems into a new SAP ECC system and to MDM for Vendor Master, Customer Master and Material Master. My manager says that we need Business Objects tool to Migrate these data. But, my question is that is it not possible to achive this through XI/PI itself ? Can anyone let me know the entire process in XI/PI as to how do I receive the Idocs from R/3, convert into XML and then send it to the new ECC system in Idoc format ?
Thks & Rgds,
Hema

Hi Gandhi,
You have SAP MDM, BPC and R/3 systems in your landscape, when you are migrating data to new ECC system, what is the role of mdm, did you moving the same data to MDM to avoid duplicate/redundant data??is there any data migration from R/3 to MDM(any integration required)or MDM to R/3,
You have to develop different interfaces to transfer data from MDM to ECC, BPC to ECC.definelty you required one middleware, the option definitely SAP PI. it offers very easy of integration between MDM and R/3 system, you can use MDM-PI adapter to connect to directly MDM syndicator file port from there you can pull the XML file and convert it in to IDoc format use Receiver IDoc adapter in PI, the same way we can integrate BPC system with R/3.
Search in sdn, there are some scenarios integration of R/3 and MDM using PI, refer those links, if still you have any doubts let me know,

Migrate Dataservices source system to new source system type in BW 7.3

Hi All,
We have upgraded our BW system to 7.3. In our old 7.0 environment we have linked Data Services 4.0 as an external source system. Now in BW7.3 we would like to migrate the developments on the old source system to the new source system type.
Does anyone know if there is any migration tool which we can use for this?
Best regards,
F. Geldof

Hi Valerie,
Unfortunately i didn't find the answer yet. For the moment we have kept the old connection types to our DS environment.
Good luck!

"Table VSEOPARENT is not in the database" after SolMan system copy to x64

Hi SDNners,
We've just completed a system copy of our SolMan 3.1 system onto a new
(Xeon x64 based) server. This system copy is part of the process of
moving SolMan 3.1 from an old server onto 64bit hardware and then
upgrading it to SolMan v4 and Oracle 10G.
Although the system appears to start properly in the MMC, we are unable
to log into the system through SAPGUI - we get a SYNTAX_ERROR window
instead of a logon screen.
I've checked the SysLog from within the MMC and noticed a number of
errors stating:
Database: Table VSEOPARENT is not in the database
Database: Table VSEOIFIMPL is not in the database
Database: Table VSEOIFCOMP is not in the database
I tried running SQL command 'select * from "SAPSOL"."VSEOPARENT"; and
it confirmed that the table didn't exist. I then ran the same command
on the source SolMan system and it showed that VSEOPARENT DID exist. I
don't understand how these VSEO* tables could have gone missing between
the source and target systems.
I've searched OSS for VSEO* and cannot find anything. Please help!
Thanks,
Arwel.

We have 640 kernel, ECC 5.0 and BASIS patch 23.
For me the problem was with SAPVIEW table wasnt imported from source to target becuase SAPVIEW.STR file was 0 byte. STR files gets created in export preparation phase.
It did happen because on source side master DVD, there was no option for export preparation. I had only option for tablesplit and export db.
I did use ECC 5.0 SR2 Master DVD which had option for export preparation phase and that created SAPVIEW.STR file.
Using migration monitor I did re-export and re-import and this time all views are imported in target.

Mamadi.

Charm - customizing landscape in SolMan

Hello,
I want to start working with ChaRM at at customer. I would like to setup a "satellite system" that simulates a real DEV, QA, PRD. We don't want to touch the current productive route, nor moving things into production while we test Solman.
I suggesting a new logical system (ERP) pointed to three different clients. However we are running out of server boxex. One of the possibility is to have any ERP Sandbox available and then create these three additional clients (500, 600, 700). Then create a transport route for these three clients.
In this way we are going to have teh possibility of testing charm tickets for client-dependent customizing before moving to the real productive route.
Do you see any other alternative for this type of simulation and training? Do you have any example of a landscape for Solution Manager configuration and testing??.
I appreciate your help
Esteban Hartzstein

Hello Esteban,
I have been testing ChaRM this way for many customer for 2 years and it works perfectly... If you have only one system available I don't see any other way to do it.

Stéphane.

Can I copy my new laptop (system an all) onto my old computer?

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro 15" Retina display, but doesn't have ethernet or firewire ports and it won't read my old ipod as well as a LOT of my applications. Fortunately I still have my old Macbook Pro. Unfortunately in February, by error I changed the permissions of ALL the files on my old computer to read & write (I had only meant to do that with Microsoft Word files). After I did that, it would stick on the apple icon when I switched the computer on. I tried Disk Warrior and fsck in Safe Boot mode but it didn't help. I bought a new computer and was able to copy all my files from an old backup drive. My old computer and my new one won't communicate as the old one does not have thunderbolt, only firewire. I think the only option to get my old computer to start again is to erase the disk and somehow "migrate" using the files on my new computer, from Time Capsule, or from my old backup. I'm afraid of what will happen either way. My old computer used Mac OSX 10.7.8 and my new one uses 10.8.4. My old computer was an Intel-based Power PC. The Time Capsule files are from my new computer, with the new system. I'm not sure I will be able to "migrate" from new to old. Maybe its better that I stick to the old backup drive option. How do I go about doing any of this if won't even turn on? It won't turn on from the backup drive either, tried that. Would I have to erase the disk by connecting it somehow to my new computer, buying some kind of firewire to thunderbolt adapter, and then "migrating from" either my new comp or old backup? I don't have any system disks. My new computer came with it installed and I lost the disks of my old one. Any advice or suggestions as to how I can go about doing this? Thanks!

Let's take this step by step. Your first problem as you say is "How do I go about doing any of this if won't even turn on?"
You have two options. You can buy a copy of a OS DVD that will work on your MBP. And use that disk to boot the MBP, repair / erase the drive.
Or you can take the hard drive out of the MBP, install it in an external enclosure / caddy and connect it via usb to the new computer. (External enclosure are readily available, e.g. through Amazon.) Once that is done, you can move data back and forth between the new Mac and the old drive. Finallly you can replace the drive in the MBP.
Be aware however the MBP may not boot from the OS that is on the new computer.

Migration to new G/L , balance and line item display after migration

Hi,
After migration in the development
system, the balance of a G/L account
in a year before the migration date
cannot be displayed unless the G/L
account is managed on open item basis
or is a reconciliation account. The
message "No data found in 2007" is
issued.
Additionally, the correct balance of
G/L accounts if it is managed on open
item basis or is a reconciliation
account cannot be displayed by
FAGLB03.Only the balance of open items
can be displayed.
How can we display all line items of a
G/L account in year 2007?
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Gökçen.

Hi Elena,
This is a very complex area. You need to check the following notes:

PI 7.0 Java stack config of the stand-alone server to new cluster system

Hi colleagues,
we have a PI installation in stand alone server (SAP with abap +
java and Oracle in the same server)
The system number of the ABAP stack is 00, and we are conecting to the
Java stack to the for example the URL
http://hostname:50000/rep/start/index.jsp
We have installed a new PI in a MSCS and in some weeks, we´ll have to
copy the database and configuration of the stand-alone server to the
new cluster system. In the SAP PI installation on the MSCS, we have
confirmed that with the ABAP stack, we won´t have any issue because the
ASCS has the system number 00 (message server), so we only have to
install a SAP system in each nodes without care these new system
numbers because we are configuring a Logon group but the question is in
the Java stack... The SCS (service in the cluster) has the 01 system
number...
What is the best way to keep the same URL to the Java stack that in the
stand-alone server? (remember:
http://hostname:50000/rep/start/index.jsp )
Have we to install a Webdispatcher in the MSCS and one Java stack in
each node of the cluster? we think that is right but we have a lot of
doubts about the URL, the files of the Java (if they are stored in
local disk in one node, how are they replicated to the second node?)
and so on....
Could you give us any suggestion to make the "migration" from the stand-alone to a cluster in a transparent way for the users?
Thanks in advanced and kind regards !!
Victor

Thanks a lot.
For information
Our central SLD is on a standalone system
However slave SLD (to ensure autonomy and HA for production XI system) will be deployed on Java separated hardware system of Xi production system.
On master SLD all systems are described and all machine are linked with it (SLDAPICUST) except production XI one
On slave SLD, all data of master one are replicated and only XI system is linked with (SLDAPICUST)

TimeMachine question after OS upgrade & migration to new HD

Hi
I've just upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks and I'm a bit confused about how TimeMachine should now work.
I clean installed Yosemite to a new drive and used Migration Assistant to copy everything else using the Mavericks based TM backup as the source. I still have Mavericks on the other drive while I'm evaluating Yostemite (it's my work machine) and I've turned off TM backups for the moment.
My question is if I reenable TM on the new Yosemtie system what will happen? Will it continue to backup only the changes to my user account and system, or will it backup a completely new instance of the OS and user account on the TM drive? I doubt there's enough space even though its a 4TB drive.

Mine only backed up what had changed. If required:
Inherit a Backup
Inherit a Backup (2)

Migration to new macbook aluminum

I have recently purchased the latest macbook and its a happy upgrade from my ibook g4. My current problem is when doing the original migration over the wireless network after many hours, the connection failed. I then went to attempt the process again however this time via ethernet. When I went to do this, I was not prompted with the original page that asked to transfer from an old mac and went straight into the set up.
So my question is now that i have a set up macbook how do I do the migration from my old ibook?I would love to get the basics of music, pictures and documents from my old machine.
Thanks so much!!

You can, but I would suggest you simply transfer the files manually over the network. There are some caveats to consider when moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac. See the following FAQ:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Best Practice: Migrating transports to Prod (system down etc.)

Hi all
This is more of a process and governance question as opposed to a ChaRM question.
We use ChaRM to migrate transports to Production systems. For example, we have a Minor BAU Release (every 2 weeks), a Minor Initiative Release (every 4 weeks) and a Major Release (every 3 months).
We realise that some of the major releases may require SAP to be taken offline. But what is SAP Best practice for ANY release into Production? i.e. for our Minor BAU Release we never shut down any Production systems, never stop batch jobs, never lock users etc.
What does SAP recommend when migrating transports to Prod?
Thanks
Shaun

Have you checked out the "Two Value Releases Per Year" whitepaper for SAP recommendations? Section 6 is applicable.
Lifetime Support by SAP &raquo; Two Value Releases per Year
The "real-world" answer is going to depend on how risk-adverse versus downtime adverse your company is. I think most companies would choose to keep the systems running except when SAP forces an outage or there is a real risk of data corruption (some data conversions and data loads, for example).
Specific to your minor BAU releases, it may be wise to make a process whereby anything that requires a production shutdown, stopped batch jobs, locked users, etc. needs to be in a different release type. But if you don't have the kind of control, your process will need to allow for these things to happen with those releases.
Also, with regards to stopping batch jobs in the real world, you always need to balance the desire to take full advantage of the available systems versus the pain of managing the variations. If your batch schedule is full, how are you going to make sure the critical jobs complete on time when you do need to take the system down? If it isn't full, why do you need that time? Can you make sure only non-critical batch jobs run during those times? Do you have a good method of implementing an alternate batch schedule when need be?

If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.
