Copying maps from dev to prod

owb version 9.2.0.2.8
oracle version 9.2.0.5.0
SunOS 5.9
I am working on a "move to production" process which will accomodate a major release
as well as minor enhancements/bug fixes.
I have one project and two modules - development and production. I will be using
unix shell scripts and sqlplus_exec_template to exec maps.
I make ddl changes outside of owb and import them into the development or production modules.
In the design repository, I am wondering what is the best way to "copy" maps from
development to production???
I have tried the manual "copy" within the design repository client and found it
generates no errors but lots of warnings.
VLD-1008 referenced mapping column <x> does not exist
VLD-1003 reference <x> between mapping object and repository object does not exist
I can deploy the map with these warnings and when executed it populates tables
correctly in the production environment.
Should I worry about the warnings?
I haven't tried export/import yet - my impression is that this is not for just one
or two maps. And will I get the same warnings?

I'd recommend you take a look at this case study... http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Cases/case9.pdf
You may want to rethink how you manage development and production. There are a few reasons ...
- When you copy a mapping from one module to another in the same repository, the operators inside the mapping will have to be reconciled to remove those warnings
- In the GUI, you can only copy one object at a time
- You can't compare objects between development, production, and any other environments you have.
You probably want to consider using snapshots as decribed in the "mature phase" in the case study.
At my company, we are using the initial phase to control changes. We have a Design Repository for each environment and each environment has multiple modules. As in your situation, our DDL is defined outside of OWB and we import object definitions into the repository.
Anyway you go, it'd be a good idea to make use of OMBPlus to automate some processes (creating/restoring snapshots, export/import mdl, reconcile maps to objects, deploying maps, etc).
You can find other OWB Case Studies here...
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OTN_DocResources.html
Also, take a look at "Querying the Warehouse Builder repository" in the OWB Exchange. You can use that to compare the objects defined in OWB with those defined in the database. It has been very helpful to for us.

  • How to use the repository; uploading reports from DEV to PROD...

    Hello...
    I'm fairly new to CR-XIr2 (SP3) but have worked with Crystal Reports since v6.0.  I'm trying to figure out how to create a dynamic parameter list that someone can select an item from, which will get sent as an input parameter to the SQL Server 2005 stored proc that populates the report.  I'm also trying to figure out if there's an easy way to copy reports from a DEV environment into PROD.  We have BOE.
    Basically, I would like to find out resources online or in books on how to use the BOE repository for dynamic and/or cascading parameters (i.e. pulling a list of text values & their associated IDs from a lookup table that won't be used in the report), images (i.e. corporate logo), etc..  What complicates things for us is that IT is now requiring us to use a DEV environmentit was really easy when we had unlimited access in PROD!  We also need to put together a process where reports & other repository objects that are copied from DEV to PROD access the correct db, etc.  (Crystal Report in DEV accesses DEV db/repository/etc.when copied to PROD it accesses PROD db/repository/etc.)
    Anyway, I'm just looking for info on where to begin--whether it be a book, a BO/SAP knowledge base article, in-class training from a specific company, etc.  Thanks!

    Hey Markian,
    Can you let me know the process you have followed to migrate from Dev to Prod.
    We can migrate all the reports and objects and database fields through migrate wizard where you can import all the objects, reports and database fields and users to production enterprise.
    Just follow the above scenario and let us know if you are facing any error.
    Try  publish the reports using import wizard and run it in the crystal designer.

    Naveen.

  • Catalog Migration from Dev to Prod

    Hello,
    Certain users of our system are unable to login to OBIEE after we migrate to Prod. Getting the below error
    access denied for user to path /users/*USERNAME*/_portal/dashboard layout
    USERNAME is the userid used to login to obiee
    In our Prod, Users have access to Answers and hence they save their reports under My Folders.
    While we migrate the new set of dashboards and reports from Dev to prod, we overwrite the System, System.atr, Shared, Shared.atr files of Prod with the corresponding files from Dev. Thus retaining the Users and Users.atr files of Prod.
    Security: All are users/pwd are stored in the RPD
    Is there something wrong with the migration procedure or is it a bug?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    +2) Why did you migrate the "System, System.atr" ? Try without this one, but just the "shared" folders and files.+
    System, System.atr are migrated since this folder stores the Privileges and data formatting etc. These configurations need to be migrated to prod as well.
    However I tried what you suggested and USERNAME is able to login and see the dashboards. But the Privileges and data formatting changes in Dev didnt get into Prod
    There is a Security folder under System. Do you know what it is used for. Should I try to retain this folder in Prod?I don't really know.
    The object permissions (like report permissions) are supposed to be in ATR file (i think so...), but there are other permissions and security things everywhere.
    But i appears to be a clue to solve your problem.
    +3) Do you have a backup of the previous Prod webcatalog ? If so, try to copy the USERNAME/_portal content into the new one.+
    This might work, but I really need to identify what is the root cause for this since we have migrations bi-weekly and this issue might pop-up again for a different userOf course. I just suggested that to see if if the /username/_portal were really different, despite you didn't upgrade them.

  • Best method to transport changes from DEV to Prod Environment

    Hi SDNers,
    I have a requirement here :
    I have made some changes to the DEV environment, which i want to move to the production Environment.
    Changes mainly include the Structural changes, XSD's, Import maps, Remote systems, Export Maps, Validations etc. Please note that I DO NOT WANT to transport the data from DEV to Prod environment.
    I can see 2 options available :
    1. Export/Import Repository schema - But as far as i know, the import and export maps will not be transported auomatically through Export/Import Schema.
    2. Archive/Unarchiving Without data -
    Here are my questions :
    1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
    2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
    3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
    4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
    Please respond to my queries.
    Thanks and Regards
    Nitin Jain

    Hi Nitin,
    If you use Archive/UnArchive option without data then you cannot persists the PROD env since you need to UnArchive the entire repository which is empty and then you need to move the PROD data into this repository.
    1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
    Ans. I don't think, 2nd option is feasible as a mentioned earlier. This option should be used when we need the entire repository without data which is not the case you are looking for.
    2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
    Ans. If you are using 2nd option then this question is not related because when you UnArchive, you will get the new repository so this wont affect the existing repository at all.
    3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
    Ans. Workflows
    4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
    Ans. If you are using 1st option then you need to unload the PROD repository first and then import the changes. For option 2 its not related.

    Hi,
    First check the source system: ZSTGLDV110 is exists or not. check the rfc connections (Also check the source system assignment in both the system to each other). check the settings in the stms tcode. check the suppoet pack on your quality system,.... there are plenty of reasons.

  • Transport from DEV to PROD  BPC 7.5

    Hi
    i had a question of transporting AppSets from DEV to PROD System.
    On the PROD Systems are no AppSets the PROD System is completly new.
    Is it possible to transport the AppSets directly from the DEV to the PROD or must we first make a Backup in the DEV and an Restore in the PROD.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Carsten,
    As far as i understand you need to transport application sets individually, from development to production. The object type ASET and APPM refer to an application set and application respectively.
    As mentioned above, you can check and confirm from SAP Support if the back up mode ia now available to users.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    You can use scatt tool to upload the data in the developement server. Prepare a file with data. Do it in developement environment only. then in SCATT you have remote logon facility using which you can run the scatt in developement environment and the result will be placed in the production server.
    Let me know if you what more information on this.

  • How to migrate document hierarchy from DEV to PROD?

    Need some suggestions as to migration of the document hierarchy. The migration wizard is great for migration objects such as portlets, but it's cumbersome to migrate the entire document hierarchy from DEV to PROD as we will have to select all the leaves in the hierarchy to retain the tree. Does any one have the similar experience and have some suggestions? Thanks!

  • Tool to migrate configurations from Dev to Prod

    Is there a tool to migrate configurations from one Oracle environment to another? For instance, to move a flexfield setup I created in Development environment to our Production environment. Both systems are the same version. I just didn't want to re-create configurations we have done in Dev into Prod by hand again.
    Thanks.

    We use Mercury Deliver for our migrations. It used to be called Chainlink, then Kintana and now Mercury. Its been purchased by HP so it is probably due for another name change.
    We use it for all types of migrations that can be done with FNDLOAD and WFLOAD. It is also used to migrate packages, forms, reports, 'C' code, etc. It is completely customizable so when it didn't have a migration object for OA Framework extensions, we built one.
    It is very powerfull (also expensive). Takes a bit to setup but once it is configured it is very usefull. I would not recommend it for a small installation with only a few migrations but in envionments where there is a great deal of change it does pay for itself rather quickly.
