Copy Express distorting data

Hello
We have used Copy Express to copy one database into another.
This has led to several data corruption :
- loss of tax account in the tax settings
- change of item group code number (without a proper renumbering of data)
- copy of one user table into another one
Copy was done folder by folder (but we didn't do it all in one go) and I didn't untick any customisation.
We are in B1 2007 patch 37.
Has anyone seen those type of problem ? How did you solve it ?
Thanks
Fabrice

Problem while copying datas using Copy Express

Hai Experts,
Greetings.
We were trying to copy Master and Configuration datas from test database to Live database using Copy express. The datas from Item Master, BP Master copied Correctly, but, in CoA (we are using Segmented Accounts) the G/L Account --> the Code column shows the System refernce no. (ie., _SYS00000002679) and the Name of the G/L Account is copied correctly.
Is there any solution to solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards
Raja

On your test company, there's segmented accounting setup. Is the segmented accounting setup on the Live company (or have you managed to use copy express to copy over the segments and other settings)?
If you've done that, then maybe you could export to XML your Copy Express worksheet and upload it somewhere so we can have a look?

Data migration @ Copy Express

Hi guys,
I want to migrate the configurations, master data & definitions from the test database to the production database.
But I face issues with Copy Express during the migration.
During the copy process, CE hangs up or takes a long time and then gives an error.
I tried db to db and db to xml , no cure.
Then , I updated the version of CE to 6.80.01.60 ,BUILD_DATE: 190607_111200
Sap B1 version is 7.40.252 SP:00 PL:36
What could be the issue? What is the best practise to migrate data to the final db ?
What are the differences b/n 2005 B SP:01 and 2005 B SP:00 version of B1 ?
How about the B1 test tool? Will it be helful for test run of db ?
Thanks,
Vijay

I went thru some treads related to issues with CE and seems like many faced similar kind of proplem with CE.
What is the most stable version of SAP B1 ?
I will upgrade my B1 & CE to that version and give a try.
Is there any SAP internal documnent for CE?
Thanks,
Vijay

Copy express

Hello
I try to copy data from one data bas eto another and I have the same message displaying I do not know how to fix the issue:
"Failed to create default folder for application file. Check option for default folder assignment"
what folder does it mean? is it under path option? what type of folder to use?
Thank you
Guillaume

Hi
You have to create a folder on your desktop and set that path at the time of copy data.
When you will start copy express, at the time of selection of Base database and target database, you have to set the path for log files.

Using Copy Express in PLD

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to transfer PLD layouts from one database to another using Copy Express.
Can any one help me to solve this issue. bcs i have created all layout in test data base now i want to transfer to production database ....ASAP pls....
Karthi.

Karthi,
Copy Express will surely do the job and if you want to just copy a few templates individually, you could use this SQL Script
INSERT INTO [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RDOC\]
SELECT [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\].* FROM [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\]
WHERE [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\].DOCCODE = 'CHO*****'
INSERT INTO [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RITM\]
SELECT [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].*
FROM [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\]
WHERE [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].DOCCODE = 'CHO*****' AND [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].DOCCODE
IN (SELECT DOCCODE FROM [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RDOC\])
I DocCode example shown above is of the Check PLD template
You can get the DocCode from the PLd Document Properties window

Vendor Master copying through Copy Express

Hi Experts,
I am copying from One Database to a NEW Database ( this database has diffrent configuration ) the Vendor Master Data through Copy Express but while runing the Copy Express I am getting an error as 'Bank does not exsits in the company'. In the Base Company Database from where I am copying has a diffrent bank acccount but in the NEW Database which is created is a another company and has diffrent bank account hence I cannot keep the same bank account as in the Base Compnay Database.
Please let me know how to achive a soltuion to it.
Regards,
Kawish

Dear Vijay,
Please note that the folowing details as required by you.
SAP Version - 2005B
Patch level 39
When executing the query from query generator as SELECT * FROM T0.BankCountr, T0.BankCode,T0.DflAccount,T0.DflBranch FROm OCRD T0 I am getting value in Default Bank as -1 and and rest coloumn are blank.
If I create manually the House Bank Account in the target company ( which means I create the base company bank account in the target company ) then upload may be done but one have to then manually change in the vendors BP master the target company bank account which is a tedious task.
Hope you are able to give a proper solution in this regard.
Regards,
Kawish

Copy Express Question

I created a Test/Template company where I configured such things as Font size, columns displayed on the various marketing documents etc. Will Copy Express copy these user specific setting from one company to another and if so, what options to I select when in Copy Express?
Thanks in Advance
Dana

Hi Dana,
To know what Data Category are copying, you can click on the Data Category->In Data Details (right panel)->lower part, thereu2019s an explanation for most categories.
==For Font size: Data category->Display Settings
When you check the 2 checkboxes under this category, there are unresolved dependencies. To resolve them, please check other category.
==For Columns displayed on marketing documents:
If Iu2019m understanding you right, your request is to display UDF on marketing documents. If itu2019s the case, when creating a NEW DB, check the following:
Copy user-defined fields and tables
Copy user-defined objects
If thereu2019re also Query linked to the UDF, check Formatted Search Linked to User-Defined Fields
==How to resolve dependency: please search this topic in CX help file.
==However, there're some general suggestions when it comes to CX:
1. create a NEW DB with the following checkboxes checked
Copy user-defined fields and tables
Copy user-defined objects
2. copy one Data Category at one time.
Data Categories sequence is based on a logical data transfer and DB modification structure. It's recommended to copy part by part, instead of all of them. In this case, if any error occurs, we can also narrow down which category goes wrong.
3. use 'Leave existing and add new' instead of 'replace all' as Copy Method
4. In Authorizations->Data Details->Uncheck all users that're with Superuser authorization before copy. (this is important)
It's because Superusers have full authorizations by default and it can't be changed. It's very likely to fail the copy process.
5. Use the latest version of CX, currently itu2019s 101.
In addition, we have Expert Empowerment Session (EES) on this topic. You can find it at channel partner portal-> Archive: Empowerment Sessions->17.01.2007 - CopyExpress.
Hope it helps.

Copy Express PLD from test DB to Live DB

Hi,
I'm totally a new user for "Copy Express" function. I would like to copy a PLD only from my testing db to my live db. I've read other
threads on this topic, and wondering whether can I copy only the PLD without copying the other datas (user cong, master data &
etc). Please advise. Thanks.
Cheers,
Serene

Hi Serene,
In the left panel of CXp, the selection boxes represent what will be copied. If you drill-down, you will see you can get it down to individual records, including specific PLD templates.
Best to test using the add-on to get familiar with it.
I suggest testing with one first. I've used CXp to copy PLD templates and recently noticed that I need to fix the formatting in the target db as some of the fields have the background in black. My workaround is to copy one template, fix it and then, depending on the template, use the Duplicate Layout Template tool to create related PLD templates (ex. Quote to create SO).

Copy Express - Fails to complete

Hi all experts.
I'm currently working with SAP B1 2007A, and want to create a new company DB. This DB should be an exact copy of another existing company, just with no transactions. I'm trying to use Copy Express for this task, but it seems to fail.
First, I create a new company DB using SAP, I then start the Copy Express from the base company and opens a new worksheet. I choose correct base and target DB. Then I check all points of interest to me and check for independencies. Everything seems fine and I start the copying (after making backup of target base). I keep task manager (windows) open to track the use of CPU and memory of Copy Express - just to check that it is working. When it has read all data, it starts writing - but when reaching the UDFs it somehow seems to stop. No error message, and no log file is created. I kept it running all night just to see if it was slow - but no success.
Has anyone ever experienced the same? Or can someone suggest a better method for creating a copy, with no transactions, of a company DB.
Thanks and regards,
Runar Wigestrand.

Hi,
I think the quantity data in the UDF is above 2000. I am just referring to the quantity of BP master data that can be copied using CX is only 2000. That's what SAP support told me recently.
For more detail, submit a ticket to SAP support.

Copy express and user defined windows

Hi All,
I´m using CopyExpress to copy a company A to B with a certain selection criteria.
The content of the user defined windows are in the target company (B) and when adding an entry into the Journal Entry certain fields are populated automatically when saving the entry.
That´s how we expect the system to behave.
But for a certain document serie these same fields are not populated automatically.
Someone has encountered some issues regarging the Journal Entry and Copy Express?
Thanks for your help

The data copied by Copy Express may not be identical. For example, the account code will be different if you use segregated accounts. Some of other internal codes may not be the same either.
Thanks,
Gordon
