Client copy duplicate product categories

How do i delete duplicate product categories in SRM5.0? I have a set of Pcats from the client copy (cats pointing BE of the client that is copied) and another set of Pcats replicated from the backend after client copy with logical system pointng to BE. I want to delete the copied ones and keep the replicated ones,...I had similar problem (doem pointing to quality BE and some dev BE) with products but I manged to change the logical system through BDLS and COMM_PRODUCT table, but in COMM_CATEGORY table i can't change the system as it is duplicated.
Thanks,
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
You can very well delete the hierarchies and products that are not relavant.
For deleting products: Use SA38 txn. and run the report for COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE , for deleting single product or COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL for deleting all the products.
For executing this report COMC_PR_TOOL_REG table needs to be populated with the program name, user name and execution date using SE16 txn.
COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE report needs to be executed using SA38 txn. for deleting the Hierarchy that is material group or material type.
For deleting product categories which are not relavant use txn. COMM_HIERARCHY and in the change mode double click on R3MATCLASS and choose the concerned back end and select the category to be deleted and click on Dlete category tab.
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue.
Award points for helpful answers.

Need client copy of production server in quality server

Hi,
I need the client copy of production server with application data in quality server. How i do this?
Main purpose is we have no data in quality server in testing purpose. if we configure the client of production server in Quality, we can test it by our requirement.

Try this
Preparatory steps in source SAP system
1 Take the trace of control file in the source system using the following command at SQL prompt as below:
SQL>alter database backup controlfile to trace;
The trace file can be found in the location <drive>\Oracle\<SID>\saptrace\usertrace.
2. Open the file with notepad and save a copy as controlsrc.txt
3. Stop the SAP
4 Shutdown the database from SQL prompt.
5. Take backup of database files.
6. Start SAP
Steps in the Target system
7. Install SAP system with <TGTSID>
8. Stop the SAP.
9. Shutdown the database from SQL prompt.
10. Take the backup of database files.
11. Edit controlfilesrc.txt with regard to the locations of datafiles of source system to be placed in target system taking in to account the space available in different drives and save as control.sql. Also SET DATABASE u201C<TGTSID>u201D RESETLOGS.
12. Replace the database files with source systems database files conforming to the control.sql
13. Start the database in nomount state from SQL prompt as below.
SQL>startup nomount
14. Run the control.sql script as follows:
SQL>@@<location of directory>\control.sql.
Once the script runs successfully, the database will be in mount state
15. Open the database with resetlogs option as follow:
SQL>alter database open resetlogs;
16. Create OPS$ users of source system conforming to target system conventions in database.
17 Set the environment variable dbs_ora_schema to SAP<SRCSID> as the owner of the database objects will still be as SAP<SRCSID>..
18. Start SAP.

Creation of production client copy

Hai,
What are the prerequisites for creation of client copy for production?
This is in regard to eleminate the default company codes existing in 000 client. In case if we opt for sap_cust the entire company code is copied.
Thanks
Hari Mohan

Hi,
you can not eliminate default company code while copying the client from 000 using SAP_CUST profile.

Production Client copy.

Hi All,
We have just installed a ECC 5.0 Production Server. We are creating a new client. We created the logical system and defined the new client as Production. Now when we run the Client copy from 000 it prompts that the target client is production and cannot be overwriiten. My query is, do we need to define the new client as customizing and then change it to production after the client copy?
Or is there a different procedure for the client copy on production. Please help
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
You can change the status of this client to Development and procced with client copy and afterwards, change it to Production system status.
Hope this helps.

Client Copy from BWP to BWT

I had a problem with my List Cube Transaction and for that reason, I had a look at the Infoprovider and also the Data Sources.
When tried to execute the infoproviders in LISTCUBE, the following messages are being displayed in BWT system:
1. Error reading the data of InfoProvider ZIP_RC_01
2. There is still no data source assigned to VirtualProvider ZIP_RC_01
But, when executed the same in BWD, then it is working fine.
I have checked the Data Sources in the R/3 Dev system and the DS has no problem. But, when I check the DS in the R/3 Prod (SS in BWT system), the following error message is displayed in the status bar:
"DataSource Z_IP_RC_DS_1 is not defined in the source system"
I thought, as the system says the Source system is not available, hence the problem in LISTCUBE and thought if we transport the DS again and then replicate in BW, then our problem would be resolved.
But, seems that even though the source system says "PRD300", if I look at SM59 it actually points to our QAS system. It says PRD300 because BWT is a copy down from BWP, and that's the source system we use - in other words the logical name is the same, but the actual servers are different.
In any case, the datasource is transported to our QAS enviroment.
So, once we do a client copy from Prod to Test, even the source systems get copied. If yes, then does it really affect in case of replications and transports???
I am really confused in this part...please explain.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
It looks like the basis team, or whoever performed the Copy from production to QA box hasn't finished all the necessary Steps :
Main transaction to know:
SSC4 -> To create new client
SCCL -> Client copy within local system
SCC9 -> remote client copy
SCC3 -> display client copy log
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/69/c24c4e4ba111d189750000e8322d00/content.htm
http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/bc/client-copy-from-production-to-quality-server-to.htm
http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid21_gci552257,00.html
Probably sounds like transaction BDLS hasn't been done.

Remote client Copy

Dear All,
I am trying to do Remote client copy from Production to Dev system (two system landscape).Below is my hardware configuration of DEV and PRD system :
SAP - R/3 4.7(NU) , O/S - AIX , DB - ORACLE 9
PRD SYSTEM :
DATABASE Server
CPU - 2 (375 MHZ)
RAM - 3 GB
APPLICATION server
CPU - 2 (375 MHZ)
RAM - 2 GB
Database size of the Prd system is around 95 GB
DEV SYSTEM
CPU - 2 (375 MHZ)
RAM - 2 GB
I am doing test run first so that i can see if any errors come and also to estimate downtime of the PRD Server(as SAP recommends that no user should be login in target and source client while doing client copy).
From the last 24 hrs. it has just completed 2500 tables only. total tables are 27500 something(Non - Unicode system).Its running very slow....
Is there any way to improve the speed of Remote client copy ?
Else I am planing to do Export - Import of client.
Is there any way to estimate downtime of PRD Server while taking Export of client like In how much time Export of Source client will be completed....
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit

Hi Rajesh,
>
. Make sure that it has the same permissions as /usr/sap/trans directory.

Do I need to share that directory too
> by default it will be "/usr/sap/trans".
>

>
I want to go for the process you suggested.
I have a question for this;
1. My DEV server is the domain controller and when I login to my PRD server and run the command df -k (it shows /usr/sap/trans directory mounted to DEV server).
So if I change the location trans directory through STMS (system overview DEV-->Transport tool) will it get updated for PRD or I need to restart the machine DEV or PRD. do I need to do anything else like mounting etc so that PRD server can access the same to save the export file when I will be taking the export of PRD client.

SWN_SELSEN not working in test client after client-copy

Hi all,
We are using extended notification without problem until test client was refreshed by client-copy from production client. In test client, report SWN_SELSEN did not generated notification even there are newly generated workflow items. Because of client-copy, I found that tables SWN_NOTIF, SWN_NOTIFTSTMP, SWN_SENDLOG, SWN_TIMESTAMPS are all empty in test client.
Please advise how to make report SWN_SELSEN back to work in test client. Thanks.
<< Additional information >>
(1) Run report SWN_SELSEN_TEST with test Case 5 - Simulate Send Only. After this, some entries were written to above tables. But test on new workflow item, the schedule report SWN_SELSEN still fail to trigger notification.
(2) Run report SWN_SELSEN_TEST with test Case 4 - Send One Message Only. It triggered notifications for all active workflow items and sent out several hundred emails including workflow item created in step 1. However, further test on new workflowitem, the schedule report SWN_SELSEN is still unable to trigger notification.
I think there may be something else missing, like the timestamp of delta. Please help.
Regards,
Donald

Hello,
I've experienced a few cases where stopping SWN_SELSEN and then restarting it helped to fill up SWN_TIMESTAMPS with proper values. How does that table look after you run it?
What is SWN_SELSEN_TEST?
Chck in SLG1 to get an idea of why it's not working. You can also run SWN_SELSEN in the foreground and debug it to see exactly where and why it goes wrong. Also check ST22.

BDLS or BDLSS after Client copy

Hi all,
I am currently working on two systems ..SRM and ECC 6.0.In SRM and ECC.We have 2 clients 100(Development) and 120(Customizing) in both the systems.We recently did a client copy of production to our development clients and I have one confusion regarding the LOGICLA SYSTEM UPDATE which is one of the madatory steps post client copy.
For the LOGICAL SYSTEM UPDATE,do we need to run the transaction BDLS or BDLSS??What is the difference between these 2 transactins?Also what are the advantages /disadvantages?
My BASIS guy told me that during our client copy,BDLS was automatically run.Surprisingly,although BDLS was run,the logical system entries are not yet updated!
Please advise.

Hello,
You need to run BDLSS, which has enhanced functionalities of BDLS. Check the following link out:
[Conversion of Logical Systems|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04s/helpdata/en/33/c823dbaea911d6b29500508b6b8a93/frameset.htm]
For your question related the difference between BDLS and BDLSS, from the above link:
As of NetWeaver 6.20, SAP provides the option to convert logical systems using a new transaction that is more transparent and easier to use. Transaction BDLS has been used for this purpose until now. This transaction remains unchanged, and is enhanced by the new transaction BDLSS. In contrast to BDLS, in BDLSS logical systems can also be converted remotely in all partner systems.

Parallel process Before Remote client copy

i m going to perform remote client copy from production to sandbox how to enable parallel processing before that .
and its is hugh client and i want to do it fast can i start it in Foreground and if yes what parameter i have to set to what value to do it in foreground

Hi,
As far as i know there is no tcode where you can set parallel processing, you can just select remote cleit copy or local client copy this methods have parallel processing .

Which is better Remote Client Copy or Homogenous copy

Hi All
I have a task to synchronize the ECC Production server with devlopment server
For this I have two option :
1. Remote client copy from Production to Development
2. Implementing homogenous copy(oracle procedure) of production server and then remove the existing development server.
I want to know your expert view with which one should I go with, as I have seen many times that whenever I do remote client copy it gives error in test phase the following tables error. so I am not sure wherther I just go with clent copy or not.
What things should keep in mind before doing it before doing homogenous copy?
Thankx in Advance
Regards
Vinay Paul

Hi All
Is there any solution for below if I decide to go with Oracle Procedure of system copy. Because we have to provide this to one of our client as there production and Development server are out of Sink.
1. Retaining the development history
2. Retaining the transports history.
I came to know that the above thing is possible but I have no idea how.
Thankx in advance

The problem you have is, that your TEMP tablespace is too small on the target system, you need to increase it.

SCM client copy- Problem in CIF

Hi,
Recently we done client copy from production system to test system for both SCM as well as ecc system.
Problem is Master data is with logical system name of production system in APO.
We defined only logical system names for ECC and SCM client and kept name of buisness system group naming same as production to avoid this problem.
But there is problem in resoure external capacity logical system name is same as production only.
It is not feasible to delete all trasaction data and master data from APO and retransfer.
How can we change logical system name in resource?
I came to know that there isprogram to convert logical system name in customization as well as master data?
If this is true can you give name of program in APO as well as ECC if any?
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh ,
Yes there is a report to change the logical system name from resource.
Report name is: /SAPAPO/CHANGE_BSG_RESOURCE for which the program need be included in your system as per code given in Note 924136 - Change of the LOGQS (BSG) for resources.
This will resolve your requirement...

I am getting an error message while replicating the product categories

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are presently using SRM 4.0 stand-alone scenario. My client want certain product categories to go for ECS scenario. In the process of journey of configuration. I am stuck with the Product category replication. And I am getting an error message 'Import of material groups into hierarchy HIERARCHY' in the Inbound queue of SRM.
We have one Hierarchy for local product categories. Do I need to create new Hierarchy for the R/3 Product categories?
Can you please give me some pointers regarding this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ram

Hi Sridhar,
I did all the confihuration steps for CRM middleware set up. I am replicating only Product categories through T.Code R3AS. When I check in the inbox of SRM through SMQ2, I am getting the error message Import of materail group into hierarchy HIERARCHY. Because we are already using the local product categories for stand-alone scenario. So do i need to create one more hierarchy for the product categories coming from R/3. Or else do I need to configure some settings for that.
Can you please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Homogeneous system copy OR Remote client copy

Dear all,
We have SAP ECC 6.0 system running on HP Unix and Oracle 10g. This is a production system.
We would like make an exact replica of this system into a test system for several tests.
To achieve this, I think there are two ways.
Procedure 1.
a. Install ECC 6.0 in similar platform and creat a new client.
b. Perform remote client copy from production system to new test system.
Procedure 2.
a. Perform homogeneous system copy.
Could you please tell me which procedure would be the best one? and also we would like to know SAP Guide on how to perform this procedure.
Thank you.
Regards,
Prashanth.R.G.

Hi Prashanth,
Perform homogeneous system copy is the best solution for your requirment.
For Procedure for homogeneous system copy look below link.
