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 .

Jaya

System Properties user.timzone different between dev. and prod. system

Hi all,
I am facing the following issue:
In our development system I get in http://<server:port>/sap/monitoring/SystemProperties -> dispatcher -> system properties a Europe/Berlin for user.timezone.
In our productive system I get in http://<server:port>/sap/monitoring/SystemProperties -> dispatcher -> system properties a GMT for user.timezone.
Can anybody explain which system property is requested by the J2EE-engine when calling this property?
I ask, because I wrote a small programm requesting the user.property via java (expecting j2ee-engine would do that too) an got back an empty string (on both systems).
So, how/where can I change the parameter, so that the development system uses GMT, too?
I already checked the spro settings in sap, they are identical. System -> status showes the same for both systems, too.
I hope for your help.
Thanks and regards
Christian

Hello Chris,
I checked the system variables with TA SM51 ->goto -> server -> information -> environment.
There is nothing like the TZ variable on both systems (we use Linux).
Do you have an other idea?
How can I change the user.timezone shown in Java system properties?

Performance problems between dev and prod

I run the same query with identical data and indexes, but one system takes a 0.01 seconds to run while the production system takes 1.0 seconds to run. TKprof for dev is:

26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BV1' (INDEX).The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.
Any ideas?

From DEV you show the Row Source Operations for the query. The column named "Rows" signifies the actual number of rows processed with each step.
From PROD you show the Execution Plan for the query; that is, tkprof was executed with the EXPLAIN option which generates the execution plan as of the time when tkprof was run. The "Rows" column in the Explain Plan output comes from the PLAN_TABLE.CARDINALITY, which represents an estimate by the CBO for the number of rows [expected to be] processed with each step.
So, if by <quote>The row count varies greatly</quote> you meant these "Rows" columns outputs then you're are comparing actuals from a database with estimates from another. Get the Row Source Operations from both.
"Identical data and indexes":
1. data may be the same, but it is not necessarily stored physically the same way.
2. Indexes being the same means their definitions are the same; again, physically they are not necessarily identical
In other words, data in PROD (the way it is stored on disk) may have evolved as a result of discrete deletes/updates/inserts ... in DEV it could be, for example, stored more compact if you took a copy of PROD and moved into DEV. So, the number of blocks for your segments will likely be different between PROD and DEV, the clustering factor for your indexes are likely different, etc ... things which could [and do] influence the CBO. The statistics may be different.
I guess what I'm saying is ... it is quite hard, if not outright impossible, to get two identical databases/instances/load ... hence, don't expect the executions to be 100% identical, even if you have "identical data and indexes". By all means compare between DEV and PROD (make sure you compare the same thing though) and use the observed differences as an indicator for further investigation ... don't chase the goal of 100% identical behavior.
Now, by all means look at that query taking 1 second in PROD ... I have only addressed <quote>The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.</quote>

DataSource / Structures mismatched between Dev and Test Systems. ..!!

Hi,
We are doing a scenario. Where XI will update the data into PSA through ABAP proxy.
Scenario worked perfectly in development system.
We transported the objects from Dev to test. The Strucures are mismatched in SE11 between development and Test systems as below.
Data sources (ZDS_RECIHDR and ZDS_RECTPALL) looks ok. But when I saw the structures in SE11 they are not correct, they got mismatched.
Development:
/BIC/CQZDS_REC00001000 - Header (ZDS_RECIHDR)
/BIC/CQZDS_REC00003000 - Allocation (ZDS_RECTPALL)
Test:
/BIC/CQZDS_REC00001000 - Allocation (ZDS_RECTPALL)
/BIC/CQZDS_REC00003000 - Header (ZDS_RECIHDR)
Kindly let me know where it might have gone wrong?
Thanks
Deepthi

We done it already. Still it is failing.
While transporting, it is failing and showing the error as

The Structure is mismatched in SE11 between header and allocation structures. That is the reason it is failing.
Any more ideas pls?

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.

Field Status review between Dev and Prod.

Hello All,
During solving one of the ticket, I found that there are some difference in selection of some of fields as suppress,optional and compulsory for account groups with screen layout (customers) - (T. Code - OBD2) between Development and Production server. Now I would like to test for all account groups between Prod and Development.It is taking lot of time to see screen by screen.
Can any body throw some light on this regarding any alternative way or can we download table information ?
Thanks in advnace for your cooperation.
Regards,
santosh

Try this:
transaction: SE16
Table: T077D
Execute
Do same in both systems and compare.
Once you identified differences go back into the transaction as mentioned - OBD2- for detail analysis.

SYSTEM LANDSCAPE - DEV and PROD - refresh

Hi All,
We have a situation like this.
1. Our BW Q&A is a copy of PROD
2. Our BW DEV is not either a copy of Q&A or PROD.
3. We have issue with a particular process chain in PROD and we need to correct (and follow the lanscape..that is want to do the correction in DEV and the transport to QA and then to PROD)
4. Since this particular process chain is not existing in the DEV environment, our Basis team is advising us to check the difference in DEV and PROD for as this process chain concern and then want to refresh it to DEV system so that we can carry out the change/modification.
We don't know really what exactly we need to find the differences between DEV and PROD for this PC and then to inform to Basis team...
Is it correct that since the particular process chain associated with various queries,data targets,update/transfer structures...etc will be over writen / copied / refreshed in DEV system from PROD?
Please advise..Please help..

Hi George, SAT, BWer,
Thanks for your messages.
George : Answers to your question:
1. Our Basis team want to copy all the configuration (related to the particular process chain only)and not Data's.
2. How to pack the process chain in a portable file and extract this file. then import it into DEV..and what is the way not to get error when doing so (knowing that fact that obejects will be different..) I don't know..whether to copy the objects are or not..
3.I agree with you.. Even we are ready to work with DEV to PROD..
SAT: Answers to your questions:
1. I do see some Process chains in the DEV and not related to this particular PC. Many development PC are there..and I don't know where the originally developed PC's ???!!
2. I am new to this Client..sorry..how this has been deleted...
BWer :Answers to your questions:
1. Yes..PC is Latest in the PROD.
2. We don't want to create the process chain all the way from scratch in the DEV. Yes..This is one of the process chain used in the metachain...Totally there are five chains in the PROD related to this..We need to modify only the second process chain..which we are trying to copy in the DEV and then do the changes...
Hope , you are clear about our requirement.
Please advise me what exactly we need to look into the DEV and PROD system so that required PC is copied alomg with (????) to DEV system..Please help.
Thank you very much in Advance..

免 Chaines Char not accepted in QA system, working fine in Dev and PROD

Hi Experts,
I am stuck withchines char e.g. 免
BW QA is not accepting it, I can see the PSA data 免 converted to #, where as same records show proper 免 in BW DEV and PROD.
I checked the data in source system (RSA3) properly showing 免.
I rechecked the SM59 RFC setting in QA and compare with DEV.
All system are unicode supported.
Please help to resolve.
Thank-You.

The query on PROD is doing lots more of reads/processing much more rows then on DEV.
For example, take table CONTACT_TRANS:
- less than 100,000 rows on DEV
vs
more than 2,300,000 on PROD.
but data is on shink.What does that mean?

Is ST-PI and ST-A/PI needs to be installed in DEV and Quality Systems.

Environment:
ERP and BI 6.0 / Windows / SQLServer 2005
Hi All,
Is ST-PI and ST-A/PI needs to be applied to DEV and Quality Systems of ERP and BW.
I understand that ST-PI and ST-A/PI are necessary for Production Environment.
Is it recommended to install or upgrade the same in Dev and Quality Systems of ERP and BW.
Because I believe it is always good practice to keep all systems Support Packages including ST-PI and ST-A/PI the same in the same Landscape. (But could not find any documents from SAP.)
Thanks and Best Regards,
Raghunahth L.

Hi Raghu,
you can get into the problems which I have said if you dont implement that,also many support packs do have their dependencies on ST-PI and ST-A/PI and seriously I havent heard people implementing this on prod and not dev and qa....I have worked on with many big clients but never heard this
Also if you ignore whatever I have said,still it is still recommended that you never apply anything directly on Production,It is always better if you first implement on dev and qa and see if you are facing any issues while implementing...so its always better to implement on dev and then qa
and It doesnt take too much of time,so that should not be an issue after all
Always follow SAP best Practices

hello, friend.
actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive. you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions. and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
"Hi,
The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
Import sequence
It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
Incompleteness
It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
Transport workflow as a transport strategy
If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
Special transport workflow (mass transports)
You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
thanks. you have been most generous.

FB60 screen change layout different between DEV and PRD

Hi,
I'm having problem with transaction FB60. When i try to change the layout in PRD, in screen Edit System Setting, some of the field showing 0 length. For example in WBS element field, in DEV show length 24 but PRD show length 0. I try to compare the version but it is same (program & table structure - ACGL_ITEM). When I debug the program, found out that it will get the structure from sap internal c program call 'AB_GET_CX_DATA'. So, maybe this program version are different between DEV and PRD.
Anybody knows what is the cause of this problem? Or maybe somebody can tell me how to check sap internal c program.
Thank you very much.

Yes. FB60 is Enter Vendor Invoice. In this screen you can see a table with column such as GL Acct, Debit/Credit, Amount in DC, Cost Center and others. You can add or remove some of the field using Table Setting and create Screen Variant. My problem is, the length of WBS Element and Profit Center field is 0. How to change the length.
I already searched in forum but I only found how to create screen variant.
Thanks.

Compare SPRO between DEV and QAs

Hi there,
I'm in GoLive eve and all consultants are desperate with the future problems.
Is there a way that I can compare the customizing (SPRO) between DEV and QAS or another system?
Thanks,

Edited by: Dany Anderson Alves on Mar 4, 2008 9:03 PM

Hi,
Use comparison tool in SCU0.
Select SAP Reference IMG and ssay compare.
This will show the differences if any.
You can also compare at component level.
cross system visibility should be maintained in SCC4 settings for the client

Xml schema different between Dev and QA

The XML schemas are different between our DEV and QA systems after applying XI stack 13/SRM stack 10. It may be that they were different before applying the stacks but it has only been spotted in testing. We need to find out why before we live with the SP stack into production.
We have re-applied the XI content tpz files to both the DEV and QA servers and can't see any differences between in the design time repository apart from between the generated XML schemas:
A simple example of the difference is included below. The difference
only seem to be in the SRM Server 5.5 content and seems to be to do with the hierarchies in the header declaration with xmlns:p0="http://sap.com/xi/SRM/Basis/Global" being in a different position in Dev than in QA. I have raised an OSS message but have been waiting for 2 1/2 days now for a response and we are due to go live with the patching in a weeks time. Any help steering me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

Like I have mentioned in my reply yesterday to your another post, I am very positive that the role you are looking at in your QA system is the role "Accessible Content Administration".
Please verify your role assignment and make sure that you have the correct roles assigned.
