Content Server config for production system - oac0

Hi all
We are setting up content server for our ERP 2005 system, and I am wondering what best practice is for our scenario.
We have one content server (CST) for development and test systems on host A, and one content server (CSP) for production system on host B. The Archive link configuration in dev and test points to CST. When this is transported to production, it will point to the wrong content server and I will have to reconfigure the archivelink in production to point to the correct content server (CSP).
What is the best way to set up the production system to point to the content server CSP on host B? Should I define a new content repository in t-code oac0 in dev, and transport this to production? Should I define the new repository directly in production system??
Please advise.
Best Regards,
Thomas

Hello,
I had the same problem a few years ago with R/3 4.7.
I don't think there is a perfect solution but here is what I did :
In the DEV system, in OAC0, I created 2 content repositories, one for the test sytem and one for the production. I transported these 2 content repositories in the production system.
In the DEV system, in OAC3, I created temporary links from my business objects to my production content repository. I released the request order.
Then I deleted these links which are wrong in the DEV system. I transported the order in the R/3 production system where these links are right.
In the DEV system, in OAC3, I then created the links from my business objects to my TEST content repository. I released the second request order.
So my config is now OK in my test and my production system.
When we refresh the DEV system by a database copy from the production system. We just have to reimport the test request order to switch the links to be OK on the DEV system. We don't have to recreate the test content repository as it was defined als oi nthe production system.
I am not sure that this is clear but this works for us with no problems since 2002.
I hope this helps.

Config for Production client

Dear all,
I'm a new basis and now I'm working in big project ERP. I have a disturbed about config for Production client.
In scc4 we must set client role is Production and No change allowed for Objects. But in production some time we need do Open and Close Period, or change following business requirement, ... This is not allowed to do in Production client.
How do we config for Production client to cover this requirements ?
Do we need a config client for maintain Production client ? Example: Production client is 500, Config client is 100. When we need Open or Close Period or change anything, we do in 100 and transfer request to 500.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Thanh.

You can customize transaction to be executable although the setting in SCC4 is "productive", this is accomplished by using transaction SOBJ:
Note 1497640 - Open and close periods in productive client
You can theoretically put every customizing view there and make it "executable" in a production system.

Archive Repository - Content Server or Root File System?

Hi All,
We are in the process of evaluating a storage solution for archiving and I would like to hear your experiences and recommendations. I've ruled out 3rd-party solutions such as IXOS as over kill for our requirement. That leaves us with the i5/OS root file system or the SAP Content Server in either a Linux partition or on a Windows server. Has anyone done archiving with a similar setup? What issues did you face? I don't plan to replicate archive objects via MIMIX.
Is anyone running the SAP Content Server in a Linux partition? I'd like to know your experience with this even if you don't use the Content Server for archiving. We use the Content Server (currently on Windows) for attaching files to SAP documents (e.g., Sales Documents) via Generic Object Services (GOS). While I lean towards running separate instances of the Content Server for Archiving and GOS, I would like to run them both in the same Linux LPAR.
TIA,
Stan

Hi Stanley,
If you choose to store your data archive files at the file system level, is that a secure enough environment? A third party certified storage solution provides a secure system where the archive files cannot be altered and also provides a way to manage the files over the years until they have met their retention limit.
Another thing to consider, just because the end users may not need access to the archived data, your company might need to be able to access the data easily due to an audit or law suit situation.
I am a SAP customer whose job function is the technical lead for my company's SAP data archiving projects, not a 3rd party storage solution provider , and I highly recommend a certified storage solution for compliance reasons.
Also, here is some information from the SAP Data Archiving web pages concerning using SAP Content Server for data archive files:
10. Is the SAP Content Server suitable for data archiving?
Up to and including SAP Content Server 6.20 the SAP CS is not designed to handle large files, which are common in data archiving. The new SAP CS 6.30 is designed to also handle large files and can therefore technically be used to store archive files. SAP CS does not support optical media. It is especially important to regularly run backups on the existing data!
Recommendation for using SAP CS for data archiving:
      Store the files on SAP CS in a decompressed format (make settings at the repository)
       Install SAP CS and SAP DB on one server
       Use SAP CS for Unix (runtime tests to see how SAP CS for Windows behaves with large files still have to be carried out)

Log frequence for productive system

Hello!
We use SAP DB (version 7.7) and use auto log function.
We configured the redo log frequence so, that every 10 minutes a new redolog will be written to hardware drive.
Question:
How does this setting (log frequence of 10 minutes) affect the performance of the SAP system?
And which setting (every 10, 20, 30 minutes) should be set for productive system?
kind regards

> My question is about the log settings. Untill today the redo logs were written to the drive, when the max. size of redo log (appr. 1 GB) has been reached.
> Now I changed this settng, so I have every 10 minutes a new redolog file on the hardware drive.
So again my question: Why did you change that? What was the reason to do so?
> The questions:
> Does this frequence (10 minutes) affect the performance of the server (network, SAP system, DB)?
The default max time between database savepoints is 600 seconds - so 10 minutes.
> What is the recommended setting to redolog setting for productive systems?
There is no recommended setting for that, it all depends on what you are trying do. If you want e. g. a shadow database running "after" the production database for 10 minutes, then you use that 10 minutes setup. If you want an hour you configure an hour etc.
It's all based on your setup and what you want to do.

Support message and change requests only for production system

Hi guys,
I would like to connect the solman helpesk with CHARM ( CHARM is still running ).
In CHARM I have to create a CR only for production system. ( don't know why - but works as designed).
In SAP helpdesk I can create support messages for every kind of system type but if I want to connect both (HD and CR) , the source system (ibase component) of the issue will copied to the CR and runs in error because of the rule (only p-system) of CHARM.
Of course I can change the ibase to production system manually in SDCR but it seems a very error-prone method.
Now my question: is it possible to change the ibase component due to the creation of CR by copy rule or something like this?
Kind regards
Rayko

Hi Rayko,
We do not have this option.
Once in ChaRM, we assume that the changes will always correct an issue in the PROD system.
I would recommend to open the tickets directly with the PROD system IBase, once the issue is also happening there.
Best Regards,
Fernando

Restrict print out of Purchase order only for Production system

Hi,
I want to restrict print out of Purchase order only for Production system, don't want to take it in devep or quality.
is there any identifier to find the system is production or development.
can anyone tell me how to restrict it,
is there any function module, not based on client system.
Thanx in advance
Kesav

Hi Kesavarathinam Vaidyalingam ,
yes, I also use thomas' suggestion using
t000-cccategory = 'P'.
to determine productive client.
Just one small hint: I found this condition as true in a test system: The admin had done a system copy to create a fresh test client - but forgot (or did not see a good reason) to change t000-cccategory = 'P. to t000-cccategory = 'T'.

Project Management Question - timelines for Production system deployment

Hi
I need an expert advice on setting up timelines for establishing an Oracle Apps Production environment. We are implementing Oracle HR & Payroll at an organization.
Our system architecture is a 2-node application tier and 2-node DB tier (RAC). RAC is configured by another party and we only have to prepare the application tier (2 nodes)
We would be installing Oracle Apps R11i (11.5.10) with jserv load balancing on the 2-nodes
Can anyone suggest how much time this should take to install/configure & patching of the application tier (on 2 nodes)?
Regards

Minimum Trusted RFC's for productive system

Hi!
We have very strict requirements dealing with set up of Trusted RFC for productive system for ChaRM approach in SOLMAN.
Can some one tell me which Trusted RFC's and users for the productive system do I need?
a) Trusted RFC is not mandatory for the productive system
b) Trusted RFC only in productive system, client: 000, users: 1 communication user and 1Dialog user
c) Trusted RFC in productive system for each client with users...
Thank you very much!

Create the function modules in SE37 and set the remote-enabled flag in the attributes section. Then import them into XI.
Create a custom Z table through SE11 on each system to store any data, and the code in each function module would reference it. (Either that or just hard-code everything)
In short yes it can be done through SE37, no you don't need SE38.
I think you're talking about function groups which is a container for the function module. You can do everything through SE37 if you use the Goto->Function Groups-> Create Group option and give it the same name as your Function Module.

MaxDB support for production systems

Hi,
I have a DMS with MaxDB version 7.6.00.18.
I opened OSS message regarding an issue. I got a solution, however I was told that '7.6.00.18 is very outdated and no longer supported for productive systems'.
I can install the latest patch but how do I know when MaxDB version is no longer supported for productive system.
Can someone refer me to a note/article?
Thanks,
Omri

here is the details i found
Especially make sure to check in the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/pam that the MaxDB / SAP DB version you plan to use is released for your specific SAP product!

Content server Config? in DMS

Hello,
You have the wrong permission on the file ContentServer.ini in the path C:\Program Files\SAP\Content Server
Provide enough rights and it should be ok.
About the certificate, you don't need it for the creation of a content repository

Content server config - error?

While creating content repository in OAC0,after filling all necessary fileds and trying to send the certificate,the below mentioned error occurs.
Error in HTTP access : If_HTTP_client>receive 1
ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.
Help me how to rectify...
Regards,
John.

Hi John,
if you don't see any errors around the same point in time in the MaxDB / SAP DB files dbm.prt and/or knldiag.err (both found in the Rundirectory, normally <drive>\sapdb\data\wrk\<SID> on Windows systems), then it's very probably not a MaxDB / SAP DB issue, but a general Content Server issue. In that case, this forum (MaxDB/liveCache) would be the wrong one.
So, please let me know if you find something in the mentioned files.
Regards,
Roland

Possible to add and persist elements in server config, for use by cons ext?

I'm considering what will be my obstacles if I try to write a console extension that we would use to view excerpts of an application log file, the application of which is deployed to each server in our domain(s). It doesn't log to the WebLogic server log, it writes it to an external log file (through log4j), and each server (several servers on each box) uses a slightly different path to its log file.
One issue that I'll have is getting the console extension to know what the path to the log file is. I think the best way, over all, is just to have the user enter the path in the form presented by the console extension. My problem is how to persist that setting, because I'd prefer they didn't have to enter that every time they entered the form.
Several years ago, I wrote a console extension for WL 8.1.4 which had a similar issue. I ended up simply writing the setting into a properties file inside the extension WAR. This only works (I believe) if the WAR is deployed exploded. I could do that, but I don't like that idea very much.
What would be nice is if I could "extend" the server config.xml with an additional element in the "Server" element, where I could store this information. Unfortunately, I don't see any support for doing something like that.
Another alternative I'm considering is whether it's possible to extend the "Summary of Log Files" page in "Diagnostics" with an application-specific log file, but I don't see any way to do that.

Well, I appreciate the suggestion, but it's not exactly a secret, to me at least. I've used it for human-readable things recently. It occurred to me that that might be my only option, but I certainly wasn't going to assume that. As it seems like this is likely my only option, I guess I can see some interesting conventions for dealing with this. You have to assume that the field could be written to by other code, and that code would have to make the same assumption. I guess I'd have to define a certain XML element as the root of my structure. If I find it, that region between the start and end element is mine to use and modify. If I don't find it, I'll insert my element at the end of the field value.
