Client Copy and Partner Profiles

Hi,
I have a doubt related to client copy and how it will affect the partner profiles.
We have a client which has quite a lot of partner profiles defined in it. Now the problem is that the Basis team is planning to perform periodic client copies on this System which will copy the data from another client say 010 to the client in discussion. My doubt is, when this happens what will happen to the partner profiles that are already there in the target? Will it be lost resulting in we creating it all over again? if so is there anyway to get around this issue?
I would appreciate any kind of input on this issue.
Thanks
Praveen

as far as i know a client copy is based on some parameter say it can be client copy based on master data, client copy based on application data etc. I guess partner profile is an application data so in tht case if client copy is done in its context no data will be lost.
just my thought, but please confirm on this with a BASIS team or try a post in the forum for Adminstration and BASIS.

Logical system and partner profile configuration

Hi,
I have a SQL server which is defined as a Business system in my landscape. It is sending records to ECC 6.0 which makes it a JDBC to IDOC scenario (inbound IDocs)
First question is do I have to mention a logical system name for the SQL server Business system too ?
Second question is do I create a Logical system in the ECC system (BD54/SALE) for the SQL system or would it be for the client of the ECC system itslef?
Third question is do I maintain partner profile configurations in WE20 for the SQL business system or for the ECC business system?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
S

Hi Sam,
> First question is do I have to mention a logical system name for the SQL server Business system too ?
Yes, In SLD You have to specify logical system name of the SQL server business system while creating SQL system.After importing business system into Integration directory,in Adepter-Specific Identifiers you can see logical system name of SQL server business sytem which you defined in SLD.
> Second question is do I create a Logical system in the ECC system (BD54/SALE) for the SQL system or would it be for the client of the ECC system itslef?
Yes,You have to create Logical system in ECC system for SQL system(Logical system name must be with the same name as logical system name you have given in XI SLD in previous question)
> Third question is do I maintain partner profile configurations in WE20 for the SQL business system or for the ECC business system?
In WE20 You have to maintain partner profiles for SQL server Logical system
For example: If SQL server Business system name is SQLDEVBS and logical system name is SQLDEVLS
In ECC you have to create logical system as SQLDEVLS and
Partner profiles for SQLDEVLS in WE20.
Please let me know if you have any issues.

Client Copy and System Restore query

Dear All,
I have few major doubt regarding client copy and system restor.
1. In my Quality system there are 2 clients: 100 and 200.In my PRD there is only 1 client 300(other than the standard default clients). My doubt is during remote client copy with SAP_ALL profile from PRD to QUA why the space increases only in MB.
I have been asked the same question by my management. They are saying PRD is 300GB and QUA is 220GB then why the space increases in MB though all data is copied in client 200(QUA) from client300(PRD)
2. If I delete client why the space is released in MB. Because according to them it should be in GBs.
3. Now my third query is I have to restore PRD backup in QUA.So I said that this requires same <SID> and Same sapce in the sapdatafiles(OS is HP-UX 11.31 and DB is Oracle 10g).So I have to explain them why these two things are contradary to each other. In case of client copy space required is only in MB and in case of System restore of PRD in QUA sapce require is in GBs.
Your suggestions will be highly obliged.
Regards,
PG

1. In my Quality system there are 2 clients: 100 and 200.In my PRD there is only 1 client 300(other than the standard default clients). My doubt is during remote client copy with SAP_ALL profile from PRD to QUA why the space increases only in MB.
Response > Because during client copy your customizing and other objects are copied.
The database structures,tables etc are already present.
2. If I delete client why the space is released in MB. Because according to them it should be in GBs.
Response > Since client deletion is not same as deleting database /customizing tables .If you delete complete dataspaces/tables then there will be sizeable difference.Similar logic as Response 1
3. Now my third query is I have to restore PRD backup in QUA.So I said that this requires same <SID> and Same sapce in the sapdatafiles(OS is HP-UX 11.31 and DB is Oracle 10g).So I have to explain them why these two things are contradary to each other. In case of client copy space required is only in MB and in case of System restore of PRD in QUA sapce require is in GBs.
Response > Since in a system copy you will copy data files (which includes tables,and all otehr strucutres ) hence the size required will be similar to PRD.

Configuring ALE Logical Systems and Partner Profiles

hi,
Trying to build a scenario which deals with two third party systems transfering XML file from one to another. Sender is using a file adapter. Reciever is using an Idoc adapter. However the pre-requisite mentioned for this exercise are that ALE logical systems and partner profiles must be configured (these steps are not outlined in the exercise) . Could i get help on what steps i need to carry out for sender/reciever to configure logical systems and partner profiles.
regards,
Manpreet

Hi Manpreet
At the R/3 system the partner profile should be maintained for both the third parties.
for creating the partner profile go to transaction we20, give the
partner number :your logical system name or customer number or vendor no
partner type:LS(logical system)or ku(customer)OR LI(vendor)
give the message type in the outbound parameters
after this double click on the message type and give the login deatils for the RFC destination define the port and all
if you still have problem please reply back
Thanks

Change log for Distribution model and partner profile

Hello All,
Could any one please suggest how to get teh change log of the distribution model and partner profiles in SAP.
Thank you!
Arvind

Hello,
The documentation says what distribution model is used for. My question is can we have change log for any change in the distribution model like user, time and date.
In production system if distribution model and partner profiles are changed by someone to a destination which should not be used, then how can we trace who has changed it.
I hope I am able to explain.

Differences between Remote Client copy and Client export and Import

Dear All, I am new to SAP. Please let me know the Differences between Remote Client copy and Client export and Import. Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks a Million

Hello Mallikarjuna,
Follow the below note,
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/552711
which describes the answer to question - Which is better or faster, a client transport or a remote copy?
Basically client transport would be preferred if the network connection between the source and target system is slow.

Regarding ports and partner profiles in ALE.

Hi All,
Please tell me how to transport the partner profiles and ports from Development to Quality systems.
Please reply asap.

SALE Area Menu for ALE configurations.It includes transactions for
Logical System definition and linking it to a client, Transactions for
RFC Destination and Port Definition Etc.
SM59 RFC Destination
Here we specify the login settings for the destination including
the I.P address or Application Server name and the User name and
password.The information entered here is used to run Remote Function
Calls(RFC ) on the destination server .We can create number of types
of RFC Destinations but 3 types are important .
R/3 (R/3 to R/3), LS(logical system) and TCP/IP.
The name of the RFC destination should be same as that of Logical
System as it helps in creation of automatic partner profiles.
WE21 Port Definition.
There are 6 types of ports but only 2 types File and Transactional RFC
types of ports are important.
We have to specify the RFC Destination before a port can be created.
WE20 Partner Profile
Here we create partner profile for each and every partner from / to which
the messages will be exchanged.There are 6 types of PF generally only
profiles of type LS(Logical System) ,KU(Customer) ,LI(Vendor) is used.
We specify the partner number and partner type and the agent and
the agent type responsible for handling of errors .
For every message send to the partner we have a outbound record and for
evry message coming from the partner we have the inbound record .
We specify the message in the otbound/inbound records ,double
clicking will take us to the detailed screen where the IDOC Type ,Port
and whether the IDCO will be immediatelt processed or collected are
mentioned.

Client copy using SAP_CUST profile

Hi
I have a requirement to copy the Production client (customization only) to Dev-100 customization client (Already existing with customization). Since the production system is having the latest customization settings,my func team wants to copy the production system customization to Dev customization client.
My system config (SAP R/3 4.6C, Oracle 8i, HP UX 11i)
Requirement: PRD 500 --> DEV 100 (Client copy using SAP_CUST)
I have planned the activity as below,
1. Create a backup client in Dev system ... Dev 110 as a copy of Dev100 (Perform a SCCL with SAP_ALL profile of DEV 100)
2. Export SAP_CUST from PRD 500
3. Del Dev100 and import 500 to Dev 100
My doubt is,
1. Whether it is mandatory to delete Dev client 100 before importing PRD client 500?
2. If we import the PRD client in to Dev without deleting, will the data consistency be maintained? ( Profile is SAP_CUST)
3. How long will be the export and import of SAP_CUST will run on an average(Any ways to find the number of tables that get exported when we use SAP_CUST profile?)
4. Any post import activity to be performed after SAP_CUST import?
Please share your experience on this regard. Also, please clarify whether my approach to the requirement is correct or not.
regards,
Vinodh.

Hi Vinod,
1. No need to delete client 100 in Dev system. If you copy SAP_CUST profile from PRD system the Production Only customising data will be over written by existing data in DEV.
2.Data cpnsistency will be maintained and you can monitor the entire process using SCC3. Here you can monitor how many table copied and how much % of data copied.
3. As pawan said Please lock all users in DEV system except your user as apreinstallation activity and start client copy. Once you done with that Unlock all users and SGEN to generate nulily created object and to increase system performance.
4. The time take for complition will be depend on you data you are coping.
Before start Client copy follow pre requisites and start.
Follow below link for clarification of your doubts and for pre requisites

Regarding client copy and authorizations

hi,
i had installed SAP BW 3.5 on my system.it is a fresh installation.now the probelm is that iam unable to open the administration workbench screen which is the most important of all the BW screens available.when i type the relevant tcode , it is saying "screen cannot be opened on 000 client".so i created one more client 070 (by copying client). and when i log on using 070 client , it is saying you are not authorized to use that screen.
any suggestions?had i missed something in the installation?
regards,
ravi

Hi Ravi,
The procedure to delete is as below.
1.     Log on to the client to be deleted.
2.     Execute SCC5.
3.     Check the delete entry from T000.
4.     Schedule in the background.
Since you said you have deleted already , may be you have not checked the delete entry fron table T000.
In this case Go to table T000 and delete the entries.
After that create a client as below.
A local client copy copies between clients within the same R/3 System.
Both a local and remote client copy must be initiated from the target client using the following steps:
1.     To create an entry for the target client in the client maintenance table, choose SCC4
2.     Log on to the target client as SAP* with the initial password PASS.
3.     Perform the client copy using SCCL.
4.     Select the data to be copied using a profile.
5.     Assign the source client for Customizing data, application data, and user master records.
6.     Begin the client copy.
7.     As copying is a lengthy process, use background processing.
8.     To ensure data consistency, you may not logon to the target client during a client copy.
9.     Lock the users in source client.

Idoc: BS and Partner profile

Hi Experts
Does the partner profile created in R3 and the business system created in SLD needs to be the same for any idoc scenario. If yes why do we need to do so? and is it applicable for all types in partner profile?
thkx

They do not need to be the same, but it may help with a complex landscape if they are.
The systems are linked via hostname to SLD
A standard naming convention is recomended across the landscape and applied through all connections.

After client copy and import export, WebUI not functioning

Hi Experts,
We have copied the client MKH300 into the client MKH305. The client
copy was performed using SAP_ALL authorization.
After the client copy a client compare was performed and several
differences were discovered. BDLS was run and a custom program was run
to copy custom tables from MKH300 to MKH305. This program has been run
in several other client copy cases and there is no issue with it.
When logging into the WebUI in client MKH305 an error message is
displayed in the application log:
"An exception has occurred during program processing"
(Please see attached screen shot)
When looking into the details the following text is shown:
Diagnosis
An exception occurred during request processing. This was handled
centrally. It changed the program flow and the result of the request
probably contains errors.
Procedure
Contact your system administrator.
Procedure for System Administration
Activate checkpoint group BSP_WD_EXCEPTION_DISPLAY. To do this, use
transaction SAAB. If the error recurs, further details are displayed.
When the check point group was activated there was no more information.
The links in the Homepage are not correct even though the business
roles, config keys etc look the same between the clients.
Much customization seems lost for the WebUI although when comparing the
two clients' customization for the WebUI they seem identical.
The client MKH300 works fine so the intention was that MKH305 should be
an exact copy of that client, but that did not happen.
Could you please help me out.
Thanks!
Nagaraju

they are included in the xe server install ...you could try copying the executables but maybe that wont work if all the libraries arent present
failing that install the regular oracle client
