Replacing development system with copy of production system during upgrade

Hello Guru,
We are planning to replace our development ECC 5.0 system with a copy of production system, and to perform upgrade to ECC 6.0.
SAP upgrade guide stating that:
"If you have modified SAP objects, make sure that you keep your development sysetem. Do not copy your production system to your development system for test purpose."
If we are planning to "Reset to original" for majority of SAP's objects during SPAU, are there other reasons we need to consider the impact of replacing development system with a copy of production system?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your response.
When we first implemented SAP system 3 and half years ago, the consultants and the developers were using the development system like a sandbox system, they tried out features or developed programs for learning purpose.
Hence, the development system and production system are very different.
There are many repair transport requests that will never transport into production.
Also, we developed client strategy (different client numbers for each system u2013 Dev, QA, Prod) during the initial implementation.
We were told by the upgrade consultant, it is standard that the development system replaced by a copy of production system during upgrade. The client number in development system will be the same as the production system after upgrade. If I want to avoid confusion for the developer & testing users, I would have to create a new client using the previous development client number, and then perform client copy.
As I review the SAP upgrade guide, I saw the statement about not to replace development system with production system, I would like to know the reasons behind SAP's statement.
By the way, we will replace our QA system with a copy of production system during the upgrade.

RFC users locked after system copy in production system

Hi,
BW_User,MDBTC(RFC users) system users were locked in our BI Production system at the same time system copy activity was running in the Quality system(production to quality) so as per our colleagues concern after system copy they started Quality system with out changing background work-process 0 so some jobs were triggered which were copied from production system.
Is there any cause to lock RFC users in production system for system copy? If there is any other reason where we can check logs
Thanks
Jalandhar Reddy

Hi,
Well maybe i am wrong to analyze your problem .
Anyway I faced this issue to in our system before and we found that one background job was running in a system that has basically prompting an RFC connection to another system. In the t.code SM59 and there was wrong password was put in.We just reset the password and it was worked fine.
You can try for this..

Oracle DB copy from PRD system 10g to TEST system 11g

Hi All,
I have recently upgraded Oracle in the test system from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2. My Production system ran still with the old oracle version 10.2.0.4.
Now I need to refresh the test system.
Is that possible to be made at all, a database copy from production system (with old oracle version 10g) into test system (with the new version 11g) ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards
Latif

We must have taken the
When you upgraded 10.2.0.X.X to 11.2.0.2.0 on TST System
You would have defintiely taken the 10.2.0.X.X. ( Oracle Home Backup)
I Strongly feel..
Resotre home folder in Qty System
Change the Environment Variables of s<sid>adm & ora<sid> users to oracle 10.2.0.X.X home directory
Change listener file entires.
Restore backup of Production of 10.2.0.X.X
recover system as you have not done any upgrade on QTY and release.
...The rest all approaches may consume your extensive .
You are the best judge...
How you want to build TST System ....want to make easy ...want to make hard your self.
Business wants data ..The rest all yours decission i think

Copying portal prod system onto portal test system

Hi,
We are trying to copy portal production system onto portal test system.
Is there a document to describe how to do it?
Thanks.

If you refer to content personalized through Content Administration, e.g. Roles or personalized pages/iviews, you have to create a transport package by using export (production) and import (test) options.
For export: System Administration > Transport > Transport Packages > Export
For import: System Administration > Transport > Transport Packages > Import
I suggest you do that using a ".epa" file
More information on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/1c/f785f15141324c98c5fc71e467d788/frameset.htm

Planning a production system for SAP portal

Hello Experts-
Can any one of you point me to some document or blogs on best practises on designing production portal. I am not looking for best practics implementing portal, but just production system.
Thanks,

Hi,
What do you mean by implementing portal production system ? Are you talking about HA or from application point of view ? If application point of view, what all application you want to install on portal ?
Thanks

Making copy of Production Portal

Hello ,
We are on EP7.0 NW04s and planning to upgrade the ESS/MSS BP's on a Sandbox system first which would be a copy of their current Production system ....What should be the strategy for this process ...should we apply the latest SP's(i.eSP10) for ESS/MSS in the Sandbox system and then manually move their customized changes to the Sandbox ...?
Are there any other considerations...?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I think that is correct. In my current project too, we applied the standard packages at first place in sand box and dev box, later we are designing the portal and NWDS to pull the custom stuff. That way we don't mess up with the standards, and also can replace standard (if available) with custom.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

Not able to change the data of test data containers in production system

Dear All,
We have created eCATT scripts in Development SolMan System and moved the transports to Production SolMan System. Customer wants to change the data at Test data containers and run the scripts in production system but we are not able to edit the data.
May be the reason is SCC4 transaction code has set the below option.
Changes and transports for client-specific Objects
u2022 No changes allowed
Customer doesnu2019t want to change the above option and wanted to change the test data containers to give different datau2019s and run the eCATT scripts.
Could you please let me know the solution for this?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahendra

eCatt has the feature where you don't need to transport the scripts or test configuration to our target system. We can keep all our scripts and test data in Solman and run this script any other system in your landscape using the System data container and target system.
Maintain the production as one of the target system in System container in Solman and point that system while running the script. Change the test data in Solman to run this script.
Let me know if you need more information
thanks

New Development system copy from Production

Hi All,
Hope you can help me out here with some ideas.
We are currently planning to implement a new SAP BW Development system, and for this we would like to make it a 1:1 copy of our current production system. Meaning all from customizing, ABAP, workbench objects etc.
But what we do not want is all the transaction and master data in infoobject, cubes etc., we are only interested in the structure and objects. Therefore we can rule out "System copy".
My question is then, is there any other ways to do this when system copy is a no go? I know we can do client copy but then we will not get all the workbench / ABAP programs which we need.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thx. in Advance

Hi Rasmus,
But what we do not want is all the transaction and master data in infoobject, cubes etc., we are only interested in the structure and objects. Therefore we can rule out "System copy".
Options 1: As BI objects are cross client , copying client will not solve your purpose 100%.
You can perform system copy and then clean up data in DEV
Option 2: You can create a new Development and then create TRs for required configuration objects and move to new development system.
Option 3: Use SLO tools to perform container copy without any data.
Hope this helps.

License for testing and production systems

Hi Experts
Can any one help me out on implementing license in my B1 System.
According to our contract we have licensed following user types:
User Type
Licensed
AddOn Access License 25
Professional User 5
Software Development Kit - Development Version 20
We have Test/development system in one hardware and Production system on different hardware. Please advice me how to request/allocate license for my test/development system and production system.
We tried creating a Test System in SAP Market place and requested license for test system. While requesting license for production system, it is found that the license is exceeded. In other words, developent system license also counted.
Please advice me on the best practices of B1 license implementation.
Thanks and regards
Ajith G

Hi,
Our customer wants to Keep the production data secure. Developers and consultants should not have the access to it.
Then you have only two options:
1.Either you should maintain a standalone b1 server for the developers and consultants to test their solutions and scenarios.
2.Otherwise you can create users in sql studio for accessing only the test database.
So that as per your requirement
All configurations and sample data will be kept in a test environment where developers and consultants can do their work.Once everything is correct Admin will do the transfer to production.
Note:New users can be created in the sql studio under Databases-><Company Db>->Security->Users, Rt.click new user

Create test env from production system

Hi,
Please sorry,
I am new in this area of Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I need help in couple of questions.
We have production system with Oracle Applications 11.5.10, APPS tier on 32bit Red Hat Linux EE 4 server, and 10.2.0.3 DB tier on 64bit Red Hat Linux EE 4 server.
We get the 2 new servers for test Oracle Applications 11.5.10 environment with same versions of OS like production.
First test 32bit for APPS,
Second test 64bit for DB tier.
Now we need to create test environment, same like production.
Questions>
1) What is the best way to create same env in this situation (32bit app tier, 64bit database tier). I suppose that cloning using rapid clone procedure isn't possible on this clear machines.
2) If I need to install Oracle Applications 11.5.10 software first on both machines, is it possible to use 32bit rapidwiz installer (existing in stage) to create test db tier on this 64bit node, or not.
I have read in the document Oracle Applications 11.5.10 - Installation Update Notes for Linux x86
You can only install Oracle Applications on an x86-64 architecture server if the operating system is 32-bit Linux or Windows. If your operating system is 64-bit, contact your operating system vendor to obtain a 32-bit operating system before installing Oracle Applications.
3) How to now from which stage production is created. When I try to create the stage for my test environment using perl command perl /mnt/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl
I get these options:
1 - to choose Oracle Applications
2 - to choose Oracle Applications with NLS
3 - to choose Oracle Database technology stack (RDBMS)
4 - to choose Oracle Applications database (Databases)
5 - to choose Oracle Applications technology stack (Tools)
6 - to choose APPL_TOP
7 - to choose National Language Support (NLS) Languages
Because I haven't seen directory oraNLS is this 1 good choose for stage.
Thanks, and sorry because I am new in this area.

2) If I need to install Oracle Applications 11.5.10 software first on both machines, is it possible to use 32bit rapidwiz installer (existing in stage) to create test db tier on this 64bit node, or not.Type "linux32 bash" -- See this thread for details.
How to install 11i on Red Hat Linux 64 bit
Re: How to install 11i on Red Hat Linux 64 bit
You can only install Oracle Applications on an x86-64 architecture server if the operating system is 32-bit Linux or Windows. If your operating system is 64-bit, contact your operating system vendor to obtain a 32-bit operating system before installing Oracle Applications. What is the database version?
To migrate the database from 32-bit to 64-bit you need to follow the steps in these docs (depends on your version).

4 - to choose Oracle Applications database (Databases)
5 - to choose Oracle Applications technology stack (Tools)
6 - to choose APPL_TOP
7 - to choose National Language Support (NLS) Languages
Because I haven't seen directory oraNLS is this 1 good choose for stage.oraNLS is only required when you want to install additional languages in addition the base English one. If you have no installed languages you can skip this one.
Please run md5sum as per (MD5 Checksums for 11i10.2 Rapid Install Media [ID 316843.1]) to verify the integrity of the stage area directory before you run Rapid Install.

Copying large production DB to another system

You are a copying a production database to a QA system. It’s very large and you decide to exclude all the table data for the some of the larger tables that are not required for the QA system. All table definitions need to be retained however. How would you do this?

Yes, export and import is a good way to go. What version are you running? A slightly different suggestion would be to export the entire schema or schemas with the ROWS=n option. Then export again with the tables you want the data for. export has a tables option where you can list the tables you want. And in newer versions there is an exclude option where you identify tables not to be exported.
Then, with the 2 exports you would apply the schema only first followed by the one with data (use the ignore=y) option.
The advantage of this is the total export time will be minimized.

Functionality to copy SO working in quality but not in Production system -

HI Friends
I have created a ztcode which uses bapi BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create copies of a manually created sales order
this function was working perfectly fine as till now we only had one line item per sales order
last week we added a material which has 2 BOM items (both non stock)
We passed only the parent item into the bapi so the orders created thru the bapi had only the parent item and the child items exploded on to the order because of the BOM config already in place.
This works perfectly fine in Quality systems but failed in production
Both the systems are identical in nature in all respects visa vis transports config and system patch as well.
The BOM is maintained in CS01
both the child items are marked as Relevant for sales and BOM usage is marked as 5
I am failing to understand why it doesnt work in production
And as we have used std bapi my tech consultant has been debugging without any sucess as well
Would appreciate any thoughts on how to find a lead in solving this mystery.
Regards
Supreet Upadhyay

HI Shiva
Thanks for the answer ,we have reimported all the relevant transports thrice but in vain
Also the config is in place,I forgot to mention earlier that the manual order that we create which is used as a reference to create copy orders explodes the child items
So config doesnt seem to be an issue here.
The code should also be ok coz it works in quality
so we think somehow it has to do with the production system
we are clueless in what direction should we investigate

ESR role in different development, test, and production systems

Hello,
I want to know the role of ESR in development, test, and production system. Do I have to install ESR in every seprate installated SAP CE machine??? or should It be centrally and development., test and production systems can use it?? Does software release process effects in the whole landscape??
does Test and Production system requires ESR??? or all used services are embed into released software SCA files to test and production system???
Regards,
Naeem

Hey,
as far as I understood the ESR is a design time tool, i think you don't need to have a productive instance.
I think it should be installed on your PI systems. And I would prefer to have at least a devel and a test installation, to
separate services on test machines from those who are running on productive systems.
as you can't differentiate the services by their name but just by their systems, you should have separate ESR Instances.
Nevertheless I think it could be possible to run only one ESR....
Kind Regards

WebService in Adobe Forms in Test and Production Systems

Hello Friends,
I am facing a peculiar problem with the webservice. I have created one Adobe Form in Development system and in that Adobe Form I used one WebService to get the User's Complete Name. Its working fine in Development System. And all the WebDynpro Component's and Applications, RFC Function Module(for WebService), WebService Name were placed in same Request ID and this request is being moved from Development System to Quality system, here all the objects were present except WebService Name i.e. this service can be seen only from SOAMANAGER Transaction but not from SICF Transaction(As given in SAP Note: 1318499). And I came to know that we need to use only SOAMANAGER transaction ONLY in Quality or Production systems.
But while creating Data Connection in Adobe Form I used SOAMANAGER's generated URL and it got created successfully and while triggering the WebService at Runtime based on some event I am writing JavaScript Code and here I am using the URL where it is generated from SICF Transaction.
Friends please help me in solving the issue as which URL I need to use in Adobe Form at runtime(i.e. triggering webservice from JavaScript, the URL from SOAMANAGER is not working in JavaScript).
