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).

Hi,
select * into A1 from RDOC where Author !='System'
select * into A2 from RITM where Doccode in (select Doccode from A1 )
select * from A1
select * from A2
sp_generate_inserts 'A1'
sp_generate_inserts 'A2'
you will get Insert scripts of A1 and A2 tables .After that You 'll Replace A1 to RDOC and A2 to RITM.
So that you can RUN this SQL srcipts any where (In any Database)
but First u have to run sp_generate_inserts Storeprocedure(from websites) .
drop table A1,A2

How to omport PLD from testing database to Production Database

i have designed PLD reports in testing database and now i want to import it to Production Database ? How should i do it ?

There are couple of ways to do this
Use Copy Express Addon of SAP to copy PLD from one DB to another.
Another way is to use SQL to copy from one DB to another.
I am not sure if the SAP still support the SQL way but I could give it to you and it will work.
insert into [TargetDB\].[dbo\].[RDOC\]
select [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RDOC\].* FROM [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RDOC\]
WHERE [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RDOC\].DocCode = 'CHO10002'
insert into [TargetDB\].[dbo\].[RITM\]
select [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RITM\].*
from [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RITM\]
where [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RITM\].DocCode = 'CHO10002' AND [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RITM\].[Doccode\]
IN (SELECT Doccode from [SourceDB\].[dbo\].[RDOC\])
CHO10002 is shown as a sample DocCode. You can get the DocCode when you open the PLD in design mode and go to Print layout design menu on top and click on Display Document Properties - General tab
Let me know

How to apply PO template from test database to live database?

I have created a PO template in my test database and I want to apply to the live database. Is any way to accomplish this task? i.e. any import or export method between different database? (Test environment or live environment?)

First go to your TEST database. Open your PO template in the design mode.
Go to Print Layout Designer menu --> Display document properties --> General tab and copy the document ID (example: POR200....)
Please Note:
LIVE = [Your LIVE DB NAME] and
TEST = [Your TEST DB NAME]
USING SQL
INSERT INTO [LIVE].[dbo].[RDOC]
SELECT * FROM [TEST ].[dbo].[RDOC] WHERE [TEST ].[dbo].[RDOC].DOCCODE = 'POR20...'   -
(document ID copied above)
INSERT INTO [LIVE].[dbo].[RITM]
SELECT [TEST].[dbo].[RITM].* FROM [TEST].[dbo].[RITM]
WHERE [TEST].[dbo].[RITM].DocCode = 'POR20...'   -
(document ID copied above)
This should work.
Best Wishes

Steps for Go Live for Webtools moving from Test to Production

Further to the useful checklist in the wiki recently supplied by Bryce can I ask for some minor gaps to be filled ( perhaps by inserting a few additional steps in that document)
I have yet to hit the issues created by a go live implementation but this is only a matter of time...
I am trying to work out what needs to occur between having :
a) a test B1 database successfully synching to a test WT site and db set up
and
b) the Production B1 database initially synched to the the live WT live WT db ready to accept the first live transactions.
1) Copy WT site from test to live location
2) Change Server config, settings and Tables tabs in Synch Manager click on 'Install Plugin' to add custom fields to Production B1 database
3) ......
I am stuck as to what needs to be done to "reset" the WT back end db and how one goes about this.
Coupled with this and probably part of the answer is the 'Initialise Synch' button. It would be useful to understand exactly what this does in terms of data - presumably it is only transactional data - but which tables are affected?
Also if there's anything else that I might have overlooked in terms of potential pitfalls I'd be grateful for advice - the recent posts regarding product trees and images come to mind.
Thanks

First thing is to plan for some downtime in your B1 databases. Nothing more frustrating than having new data come into b1 when you're trying to set this up. So perhaps do this at night or on a weekend when no one is using B1.
Install Plugin operation adds UDF's, edits the stored proc in b1 db, and creates the queue table, PRX_Transaction_Queue
Initialize synch runs upgrade scripts(if applicable), deletes all data that has synched from B1 previously(or would synch from Wt to B1, like a test order created in Wt) and inserts all relevant data into the queue table in B1 db. Also the synchid's are reset. It's pretty much the same list as is displayed on the Settings page of the Synch Manager. Please someone correct me if I'm missing something here!
Pre-requisites:
- Name the Wt db relevant to its position in the environment. B1Webtools is not the greatest name, it's meant to be a jumping off point. Rename your Wt db in the way that you would for B1. ie WebtoolsLive, WebtoolsTest. Makes things easier
Two options:
1) Presuming you have a test Wt db and a test b1 db or even a test Wt db and a production(live) B1 db, you could duplicate the test Wt db and change the synch manager config to point to the B1 live db. Install the "plugin" on the new B1 live db and enter your table mappings. Initialize synch will delete all the data that has synched from B1 test db to Wt db(now live db) and reset the synch id's to zero. These will be populated during the synch. Then Run Synch.
Caveat: This option is fine if your synch takes a "short" period of time. Short being an hour. If you have say 20,000 business partners with 3 years of order history and 300 lines per order... expect several hours.
2) Create a test synch profile and a live synch profile in tandem and update only the live synch profile with data. Also, have two web tools websites but work primarily in the live one. The synch manager will auto synch both profiles every time the service runs(set by you)
When it's go time, copy the live db's over the test db's so you have a test environment exactly matching your live environment. Now, obviously as soon as new data goes into the live db it's out of synch, but this way you have a test system you can break or use to test upgrades, etc.
As you might guess, there are a number of ways to go with this. It really does depend on a) how comfortable you are with moving data around in SQL and b) what your setup entails.
I think the best thing you can do is make it as simple as possible. Don't overthink things and make sure you have a backup of everything before you start.
Good luck!

Copy PLD from 2004A to 2005A

Hi friends,
Is there anyone know how to copy the PLD from 2004a to 2005a?
I am now currently installed 2004A versions in one country and wish to install 2005A in another for trial, before I decided to use 2005a (with new setup).
Please help...thanks.
JL

Hi Joan,
I do hope you didn't follow the advice from Eddy and used the Query he suggested!
a)
if you want to use the templates that you created in 2004A in your 2005A Database,you need to upgrade your 2004A Database first to 2005A - as the PLD has been enhanced in Version 2005A/2005ASP01 and the structure of the tables relevant for the PLD has been changed
b)
the only approved ways to copy PLD Templates are either using Copy Express OR the Query as per Note 600813 (the Query WITHOUT any modifications)
Please consider Note 896891:
"...SAP will not support any database, which is inconsistent, due to
SQL-Queries, which modify datasets or the datastructure of the SAP
Business One Database. This includes any update-, delete- or
drop-statement executed via SQL-Server Tools or via the the query
interface of SAP Business One.
This is stated also in the support contract between SAP and the SAP
Business Partner..."

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?

Copy express does not copying form settings

hi,
i try to copy the form settings of a user settings from test database to live database.
The addon works without error, but the result is bad. The form settings will not be arrived in the target database.
I only check Display Settings --> UserDisplay Settings
The user exists in both databases.
No error is thrown. The addon quits with success.
The addon version is CopyExpress 880.238.00.20 (SAP 8.8 sp00 pl20)
Has anybody tried this with success?
best regards
Markus

Hi,
Please check the following points.
1. Please try use user 'sa' and its corresponding password in SQL Server. If it works, please try to log in Copy Express 'Server Login' window again.
2. Check Business One->Choose Company->Current Server
Can you log in B1 successfully?
Please make sure it's the same information input in Copy Express 'Choose
Company' window

Dear Experts
While coping the PLD from one database to another by using copy express ( sap 8.8 PL 00 ) only the empty layout (without any field) was creating. Pleas give the solution.
Thanks

Hi Ganesh,
Try this,
Here is a simple way to copy PLD from one Company to another Company
Please follow these steps to copy PLD from one DB(Test DB) to another DB(Live DB)
1. Login to the Test DB and open the PLD. Click on menu 'Print Layout Designer' and select 'Display Hidden Fields'
2. Goto Edit Menu and select 'Select All'
3. Copy All the fields (select copy from Edit Menu)
4. Click on Administration and select Choose Company and login to the Live DB.
Note: Donot Logoff from the Test DB)
5. Open the PLD in Live DB. Click on menu 'Print Layout Designer' and select 'Display Hidden Fields'
6. Goto Edit Menu and select 'Select All'
7. Delete All the fields
8. Now Paste the fieds which you copied from 'Test DB'.

Ensure that the Document Properties like Width, Height, Top Margin, LeftMargin etc.., are same before pasting in 'Live DB'
OR
Pls use Export and import method of sql database .
there is a short way but it is not ideal, u can directly open the Rdoc and ritm table and copy the data related to particular PLD(document id) and paste into rdoc and ritm of new database respectively .

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

Creating or copying application express users from development environment

Hello,
Hope someone can answer my question soon.
I am kind of new to the application express development and to Oracle database too ( about 8 month). I developed an application on development environment at my work. Now it's time to deploy this application to test and production environment. This application is secured so I had an ACL page were I setup 2 users that they can view and edit data, and I setup myself as an admin for this application.
I succsessfully deployed the application on the test and production environment but I cannot login and not other users. How do I setup or to copy same users from Development to production environment.
I am using apex 3.0.1 and database 10g.
on Development I have workspace called development and the schema is DEV. For production I have a workspace called production and the schema called prod. So I am dealing with different 2 workspaces and 2 different schemas but one database instance.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Sofia.
Edited by: user633945 on Oct 15, 2008 3:36 PM

Hello,
APEX has a utility to export the workspace and the users. In the application, go to export/import --> export --> workspace users (this is not the default view, and you’ll need to choose it). This will generate a SQL script you can import into the source instance.
In general, it’s best to keep the same environment in the development (test) and production instances – The same workspace ID, name, and application ID. These are pre-condition to be allowed to import single page/components between the instances. Otherwise you will have to import the entire application, each time you need to update the application.
In case you can’t maintain the same environment in your instances, you’ll need to manually edit the exported script. If the workspace already exist, you need to delete the ‘Workspace’ section. Then you’ll need to edit the user details, setting the default schema correctly.
Hope this helps,
Arie.

Copy Express - Copying Print Layout Designs from one company to another

Dear All,
i was wondering if one of you on the forum could help me with copy express.
I understand through the DIAPI, you cannot code to copy print layout designs, and if you copy the fields through SQL, SAP will no longer support the database.
It is the first time using Copy Express and am very confused about what to do.
Could someone post a step by step was of saving a design and then copying from one database to another.
Thank you so much for anyone that can help.
Regards

Hi Troy.......
You can do this......
Go to PLDs and save a different copy of every PLDs by making Save as and then try to copy such PLDs.
I also encountered such problem and I tried the same I suggest you.
So try once.....

Rahul

Have anybody copied Queries from "Test" database to "Production database?

I am looking for the best method to copy queries from one database to another. From TEST to PRODUCTION. Other than Copy Express or Copy/Past, is there another recommended approach? Such as within SQL?

Hi Alain,
Copying anything from database A to database B using SQL, means somehow using SQL command "Insert". Please note that commands like Insert, Update, Delete are NOT SUPPORTED as it might cause data corruption.
Kind regards
