Client Copy (With Data/Cubes) Possible in BI 7.0?

Hello,
I am a basis team member (newbie and still learning) for my company and have been asked to copy our development cubes/data to our sandbox environment. We are attempting to do this through a client copy. I am using SCC9 with the SAP_APPL profile, but afterwards I do not see the cubes or any of the infoproviders etc in RSA1 in the sandbox. Is there a post processing step that I need to carry out to have this content show up or is a client copy not possible? We are trying to avoid a system copy if at all possible. Thanks for any and all suggestions/comment/help. Don't worry, I will award points for helpful answers :).
Thanks,
Rob

Client copy with configuration data in R/3. Is there any effect on EBP sys

Hi all,
We are using classic scenario. Our client is reorganizing their Org structure for that we need to do client copy with only configuration data.
In this scenario we are uploading the master and transactional data through ALE in order to retain the same number ranges and the same data in EBP system.
My doubt is when we do config steps Define logical system and assign the logical system to the client and define Idoc message types etc... Is it necessary to run BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL job. If yes the same data like Plant and storage location and all master data will override the existing data or not. And what about the open Purchase orders and open goods receipts.
Can you please reply immediately. It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance

Differences between client copy with sap_all and database copy

What's the difference between client copy with sap_all and doing a database copy.
I know if I do a database copy from Production to our Quality system.
I need to install the license key
restore the production library to the quality library
Initialize TMS and so on.
I know if I want to copy to our Development system. I would need to run either a remote client copy or and export/import since I cannot do a database copy because I would loose all my other clients in Development.
My question is, if the quality systems and the production systems are on the same support packs, same kernel.
What does a database copy give you (besides being faser) that a remote client copy or export/import of a client copy does.
Any differences
Thanks
Joe

Hello Joe,
If there is inconsistent Z tables between QAS and PRD, remote client copy could fail, especially when the table on PRD has longer length or more fields than the one on QAS.
Also the source client should has no-activity during the client copy, otherwise the application data could be inconsistent. For example, some material documents are copied, but not the corresponding financial documents. (For PRD client, it could be hours between the times those tables are copied.) For database restore, it is rarely an issue.
Best regards,
Victor

Client copy with different number of tables.

Hi,
I want to do a client copy between Client '100' and Client '200'. There are 121 tables in Client 100 and 101 tables in Client 200. Is the client copy possible. If yes what are the steps.
Another question is. Is the reverse possible ie copying of client 200 (with 101 tables) to Client 100 (with 121 tables). If yes how. And also i would like to know what will be the state of 20 tables( not available in client 100). What i mean is, will these 20 tables become empty(data erased) or will contain the data as was before the client copy.
Regards
Naeem

Dear Naeem,
Kindly let us know are you doing local client copy or remote client copy . If you are doing client copy then system is on same PS level . If you are doing local client copy just perform test run and find out the differences .If it is remote client copy ,Its better to perform client export and import .
Thanks and Regards,

Client copy Only data

Hi,
   We have a copy of production client in Quality system.
   This client copy was done few months back, can we update the client in quality with the data which was updated in production after the client copy.
Or will I have to do entire client copy again.
How much data will be copied in this is there any way to find.
Thanks
Parvez Khan.

Parvez,
                  Goto SE38 and enter RSTABLESIZE then execute, there you select client XXX and select tables * then save it it will ask for variant. Give a variant name like var1, and description. agin save it.
Go to SM36 and create a new job(with some name) and select RSTABLESIZE in the next tabs select variant as var1. If you select new job to start immediately it will start immediately, you can check in SM37, after completion goto the corresponding spool request and in which you will find the size.
Regards,
Hari.
PS: Awarding point will get you some points.

SYSTEM Copy with Data ( SAP Export/Import way)

Hello ,
There is requirement at my client site to build SAP system copy from Production System without copying Data but
should have Programs/ Structures / Repository/ Tables & views etc.
Though We have thought of building SAP system with Export/ Import way and then deleting the Client from copied system
after that running Remote client copy from Source to Target system with SAP_CUST profile
But I have heard with SAP Export/Import way , We can have SAP data copy skipped and only structure to copy. If there is any way
of such kind then Please help me in letting know the same
Thanks

Client copy customizing data + master data

while i am performing client copy using SAP_UCUS,SAP_UCSV i used these two profiles but i am not getting master data .Please help me out in this friends.

Hi Sridhar,
SAP_UCUS is the profile which comes with client specific
customizing including auth.profile,the application data is
deleted and user data is retained.
SAP_CUSV is SAP_CUST with variants.
Go through the forum posts you may get more information....Also check the
existence of user master data in your client.Go through the [post|Client Copy for only SAP_CUST erasing master data of target client; .It might help you.

Local client copy with warnings and errors

Hi ,
I am doing a local client copy and is still running . There are a few large tables which have not been copied successfully and is shown under "Warnings and Error". The tables show "Program Cancel (See SM21)". In SM21 , I find the workprocess was disconnected from the database.
Now my questions is , once all the remaining tables complete , will I be given an option to repeat the copy for the failed tables only. The system is 6 TB and it is running for more than 15 days now.
Please suggest.
Regards
Ratnajit

will I be given an option to repeat the copy for the failed tables only
No, it doesn't ask you to repeat copy only for failed tables.
The system is 6 TB and it is running for more than 15 days now
What is the requirement to do such BIG client copy?

Notification Copy with date change

Dear Experts,
While creating a notification by copying an old notification (Reference Notification field), there found a difficulty that the Notification date is copied from the Reference Notification and is not editable.
Can someone suggest the solution so that the notification date could be edited to the present date.
Thank you & regards
Jogeswara Rao

IW21 Screen
-Fill Notification Type. Fill the Reference Notification field with the Notification number you want to copy the details to your new Notiification.
Press Enter.
Your new Notification is filled with all information you wanted. You would make changes wherever you want.
But the problem is the Notification date of the 'Responsibilities' screen Area is also being copied from the Reference Notification and is Greyed out (i.e. not editable).
So if you save this notification, the notification date of your New Notification would be that of the reference Notification, which is generally not acceptable.
I hope you've followed.
Regards
Jogeswara Rao

HELP ME. Client Configuration with Data Guard

Hi,
I made a DATA GUARD configuration with Oracle 10g r2 and GRID CONTROL 10.2.0.3.
I've 1DB OMS, 1 DB primary, 1 DB standby phisical, 1 DB observer, fast-startfailover on.
Everything works fine: failover, switchover.
My question is: how the client knows what DB is open when the primary DB fail? How to configure the client can know what the DB is active?
thanks.

Configure the client failover in the tnsnames.ora. The How To will be in the Data Gaurd configuration guide you are using.

Creation of CSV file on client machine with data from forms

Hi,
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form.
Oracle version -
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production.
I have searched the web for last couple of days and got to know that TEXT_IO is to be used to generate files on client machine. However, when I tried TEXT_IO, it was not able to generate the file on client rather it was able to generate on database server. After further browsing on this, there was a link which said that we need to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO to generate file on client side. For this, i was required to subclass the webutil.pll which i did and corrected the code to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO. The form was unable to compile and was not able to find "webutil_core" package.
I am very confused with the disparity in the information available on the web as in what to use to generate a file on client side. If anyone has use it in the past, can he/she please detail what to use to get things sorted.
Thanks,
R

Oracle version - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production. >
So, what is your FORMS version. This is more important than your database version.
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form. Depending on your Forms version, you would use TEXT_IO (if Forms 6i running in Client/Server mode) or WebUtil (if Forms 9i or higher).
I'm going to guess that you are at least using Oracle Forms 9i since you stated that your attempt at using TEXT_IO produced a file on the DB server.
There is more to using WebUtil than just attaching the WEBUTIL.PLL. If you had performed a simple search of the Forms Help System would have found numerous WebUtil topics to include: Introduction to WebUtil, Configuring WebUtil, Using WebUtil in Your Applications and the WebUtil User's Guide. If you have Oracle Forms release 10g or higher, WebUtil is included when you installed Forms, however, you do need to configure your installation to use WebUtil and you must download the Java COM Bridge (jacob.jar) from Source Forge. Take a look at the Configuring WebUtil Forms Help topic to find out which version of the Java COM Bridge you will need to download.
After you have successfully configured WebUtil, take a look at the Using WebUtil in Your Applications topic to find out how to implement WebUtil in a form.
Searching the Internet for answers is great, but don't forget the look at the Forms Help System because the majority of your questions can be answered there. :)
Lastly, configuration of WebUtil is primarily done on your Application Server (AS). However, if you plan to perform preliminary runtime testing by running your Form from the Forms Builder, then you will configure your local runtime to support WebUtil as well as configure your AS. The steps are exactly the same. A common mis-step is to skip a step during the configuration because you don't think the step applies. Take a look at the Forms Help Runtime Setup Checklist topic for a list of step you need to complete in order to enable WebUtil.
Hope this helps,

Data migration from one DEV(DE1) system to other DEV(DE2) BW system using client copy or client export import

HI SAP Gurus,
Please find the below details:
SAP NetWeaver 7.3
We have to copy all customized or developed BW objects like master data, DSO's , Infocubes , Reports etc.
We need only the design changes but not the data within the DSO or cubes that exist .
We have tried below procedure:
1) Taken export of DE1 source client 400 with profile SAP_CUST
2) Imported transports generated for above export into DE2 target client 350.
3) Executed transaction SCC3 and performed post processing, post processing was successful . Still we are not able to see DSO's, infocubes ,reports.
Please lets us know what we need to do to fulfill our requirement.
Thanks,
Avadhesh

Hi Basis,
Please refer to below documentation on how to perform system copy in BI systems
How to System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes (NW2004)
Post processing steps for SAP BW system copy or db copy
BI systems has mostly cross client objects. So client copy with SAP_CUST profile will not serve your purpose.
Hope this helps.

SAP BI System Copy with only Config changes, Not Data

Hi BASIS,
I have a requirement from a client to build a system landscape stratagy for their SAP BI system.
We have DEV - QA - PRD systems for SAP BI (7.0 SP 16)
Both DEV and QA are completely out of sync with PRD. We are doing development tasks directly on PRD. Now we have decided to re-sync the DEV & QA systems with PRD.
'System copy with Data' will be easier to implement. But our PRD DB size is nearly 3TB. The client is not ready to pay for the extra/temp. disk space for DEV and QA sync. ( We are on DB2).
Now, we have only one option left. Capture all Config changes from PRD and transport them back to DEV & QA. This is a tedious task and cause many inconsistencies.
Would anyone have any other ideas to bring the systems in sync with less time involved and less resources.
I am a SAP BI person. So dont know much about BASIS tasks. Please help me with any links of best practises or SAP notes.
Cheers

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?
Regards
Kumar

Can a client be refreshed with client copy?

I created a new client by
doing client copy from client 200 creating client 202
Now I want to refresh client 202 from client 200 (ALL ON SAME SERVER) , can I just re-run the client copy with source client being client 200 to client 202?
If so what am I to expect?
If not, then do I need to first drop client 202 and then do the client copy to re-create the client?
maria

Dear Maria,
Greetings!
To be clear, now your situation is to have a client copy from your Production client 200 to the Quality client 202.
Coming to the status of other clients in Quality system, the data or any other settings of the other clients is NOT going to be changed because of this client copy.
As far as the configuration part, you will have to perform the following functionalities in your Target client (Quality - 202)
1. Transaction SCC9 - Select Profile - Choose the SAP profile as per your need.
2. Enter the RFC destination to the Source system client - Production Client 200 - This RFC destination could be an already existing connection between both the systems or a newly created one.
3. Make an RFC system comparison to be sure that the connection is perfect.
4. Set-up the parallel processing parameters, Menu option Goto - Parallel Process. This option is dependent on the physical memory availability of the Quality server.
5. Execute a TEST RUN, prior to start of the actual client copy to verify Target client feasibilities. In case of any mismatch in table definition or table fields corresponding action has to be performed.
Please remember the following pre-requsities before starting the client copy.
1. Both the Source and Target client is to be locked against access to end users or other users. For a pre-caution lock all the users except SAP*, DDIC, TMSADM, BASIS and other System Admin users in both the clients.
2. No auto-logout parameters or restrictions on workprocess runtime exists as profile parameters in the system.
3. Additional space for a client is available in the database so the the client copy in not interrupted.
Kindly process the client copy in a server session such that network interruptions and other interruptions could be avoided.
Kindly revert in case you need further informations on the same.
Thank you
Regards,
Vineeth
