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.
Regards

Hi,
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. Use Rapid Clone.
Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
FAQ: Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 216664.1]
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).
Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 9i Release 2 [ID 304489.1]
Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 10g Release 2 [ID 369693.1]

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.

Create test env

Hi , I am new to this essbase aplication in my company . How do i create test env (outline , cal scripts , data etc ) from production server with same setting . Both server are already setup. For learning purposes , i want use same data / cal scripts etc . I appreciate for any suggestions.Thank You,ponnapati.

If you already have data in your production application simply create and application and database by the same name on you dev box and copy your database files and page and index file from your production box to your test box. The database files will be the files with the name of your database and the page and index will be ess00001.ind and ess00001.pag. You must shut down both applications in order to copy the database files.

Importing Program from Production System to DEV and QAS.

Hi All,
I have 3 Systems in my Landscape.

One of my Z program is running in the Production system.
This Z program is got deleted in the DEV and QAS.
How can I import the Program from Production System to QAS and DEV.

Viji.

hi Vijaya laxmi,
you can goto Production system ---> SE38/ SA38 and copy the program and create the same in program using SE38 in Development system and then transport it to Quality system.
You can also Re-Import the Request from Production to Dev system.

Hi. I want to create test database from my standby database using rman.
But i have some some tables and where information is too large i dont want backup all data from this tables. because i dont have enough space on my test server.
Have u any idea for solution this problem.
Thanks

But have suggestion.
You can create duplicate database on based your target database (to new host) and skip undesired tablespaces...
bash# rman target /
RMAN> ....
your code should be like :
run {
allocate auxiliary channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/omni/lib/libob2oracle8_64bit.so,ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=my,OB2BARLIST=MY DAILY)';

Not able to create a message from satellite system

Hello Everyone.
We have been working on Solution Manager .We have managed with successfull installation,Uploaded required support packages,configured the system according to SAP Solution Manager Guide.
Faced with some problem regarding support desk,we are not able to create a message from satellite system to Solution Manager.
Note : Error Message related to this problem is ....
<b>"Error in Local Message System : External number assignment, Enter notification num message was not Created."</b>
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nimesh V . Master

Hi, you need to check the number ranges for the notifications and make sure they are correct. Look in the IMG of the SAP Solution Manager system for the instructions. You also need to make sure that the Service Desk BC Sets are activated if you are NOT on 4.0 and SP Stack 09+. In the later SPs much of this configuration from the IMG is automated in the wizard.

Roles required to create support message from satellite system

Hi Team,
I am trying to create support message from satellite system. i have assigned S_RFC and S_RFCACL to the Zrole. Apart from that, is there any other roles to be assined in satelite system to create support message?
Regards
Kumar

I think that's it.
Of course they roles in the central system too: SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_ADMIN and SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE (or copies thereof).

Creating Support Messages from Satellite System without SolMan user account

Hi
We are having some problems with users "creating support message" from our ECC system to SolMan, if the user does not have a user account in Solution Manager.
It is not correct, that users from Satellite systems can create support messages from these systems, without the user having an account in Solution Manager? And that the user is identified by the business partner for the user, that must exist in the Solution Manager system ?
We have set up the RFC for the supportmessages between SolMan and the ECC system as trusted RFC, with the "Current user" as the user, but how should this be set up, if the user does not have an account in the Solution Manager system. If we enter a user with the right authorizations in the RFC, will the messages that come through not just appear as created by that user, instead of the ECC user and corresponding business partner ?
Regards
Lars

Hi,
you can use the use the user for the RFC-Connection in that case. I have customizied a similar scenario. In my scenario the System from which the message was created, is the business partner (SOLD-TO-PARTY). For that you have to create a communication user (i.e SOLMAN<SYSID>). In TA SM59 in the satellite-system you assign this user for the connection. (Don't forget to assign the user to the role "SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_ADMIN"). Now, it schould be possible to create messages from the satellite system to the solution manager. Additionally you should create business-partner for each user of the satellite system, by using TA DSWP>EDIT>CREATE BUSINESS PARTNER.
With this TA, it is easy to create BP for each satellite system.
Best regards
Marc

Is it possible to Delete BP's from production system

Hi All,
Is it possible to delete old BP numbers from production system?
if yes please let me know the procedure and impact on the system.
if no please let me know ,how to prevent user from entering old BP number into order.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shaik

Hi Shaik,
You can delete the BP using transaction BUPA_DEL.
Just enter the number of the BP you want to delete and then execute.
Make sure that all the checkboxes on the selecton screen are clear.
In case the BP has dependencies and deletion is not alowed, you will get an error message informing you of the same.
Best Regards,

Newbie: Howto create test env by cloning prod?

Hello Forum...
I've posted a similar question to metalink but I don't think there's much activity there, so do excuse me if I bother you guys too.
I've inherited an Oracle Lite server and application that is used in some of the world's most remote regions. I can't touch the production server, and so I want to recreate the entire environment (mobile server, repository, application schema, etc) in a separate test environment.
Has anyone done this - created a copy of a running production system for testing? What gotchyas should I be looking out for? I'm particularly nervous about getting the new server to use a copy of an already established repository.
thanks for any suggestions.
/j-p.

Hello Gary...
Many thanks once again for your advice.
Before you replied, I had in the meantime asked the DBA to create test schema for 1) the application data and 2) the mobile repository, and to import the data from prod. The installation (not a standalone mobile server, but on an OAS installation) went without any problem however I noticed when I started up the enterprise manager for the OAS that there were two mobile server instances - for prod and test. Access to prod was refused, so that was ok. However the MGP of test didn't run on the test mobile server, but on the prod instance. I figured this might be a show stopper. Incidentally, I was able to pack the application with wtgpack, and deploy it successfully.
I then decided to follow your instructions (to try to understand a little more the architecture). As the installation to test would always find a repository (despite me renaming the schema to mobileadmintest), I had to delete the test repository schema in the end. I then ran an install to a previously-created empty mobileadmin schema which completed ok but there was no mention of the enterprise application data schema in the installation procedure, so I was quite confused as to how this could work.
Now when I goto the url apptest.our.org/webtogo, I get the following stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException

And when I login to the OAS enterprise manager, and click on "mobileserver" in the cluster topology, it say's:
"The administrator's credentials for this OC4J instance are invalid, please set the credentials."
As I've no idea of what's going on at this stage, I insert the same password as that of OAS, but then receive the following message:
"Administrator credentials were saved but they cannot be used to make a connection. Enter new credentials or cancel."
I hope you understand this - as I certainly don't.
I seem to have worked myself into a dead-end, without understanding much of what's happening. I'd really appreciate if you could explain where I'm screwing up at this stage.
Many thanks for your patience and understanding.
Kind regards,

Ibase/Component issue while creating a message from satillite system

Hi experts,
we have implemented the service desk functionality in solution manager system.
User is able to create message in solution manager directly.
While creating message from a satellite system IBASE/component fields are filled with incorrect values.
Because of this user unable to create message from satillite system.
Has someone any ideas where we do some settings to get correct Ibase/Component values while creating message from satillite system?
Thank you in advance,
Babu

Hi Babu,
For Creating messages in SOLMAN make sure that in T code SM30 under the table BCOS_CUST data is maitained
OSS_MSG W NONE CUST620 1.0
First your should make your solman ready for posting issues within.
Then connect it to ECC systems and try posting issues there.
Do not user Tcode NOTIF_CREATE for posting issues always use HELP- Create Support message.
Thanks
Nand

Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

HI Gurus,
Best Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
Prasad

You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly. It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection". You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two. You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on. Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

Delting Objects from production system

Hello All,
I need to delete some of the Infoobjects,ODS and Infocubes from my Production system.
for e.g:
We have Inserted infoobject ZXX as data target,so it is available under infoprovider.
For this,we have update rules ZYYY.
In the Infoprovider tab: I right click on the Infoobject ZXX and selected the "Remove Infoobject as data target option".So update rules and the infoobjects were removed from the Infoprovider tab.
Also I deleted the infosource ZYYY.
While deleting the Infoobject ZXX from the Infoobject tab,it says "the update rules ZYYY still exists and hence cannot delete the data"
Please let me know,how can i delelt the Infoobject and the update rules.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Make sure that you are having prober authorizations to delete the objects. If you have, try to log on again. Also Check for Data flow upward objects from this object.
