CRM 5.0 system / client copy

Hello,
we are running CRM 5.0 with e-commerce webshop scenario - abap+java system.
the systems are configured in a 3 system landscape.
the QA and prod system have the same client number.
the customer asked to refresh the QA with PROD system.
what is the recommended way to do it?
do i need to do a complete production system copy - export the Prod system using sap tools from sapinst system copy and afterwards do the import into the QA system? - in this case are there any post processing things to be done regarding the NWDI which is configured on the development system and connected to all other landscape systems?also what about post proccessing of the XCS?
the other methood is to do a client copy (just the abap) from the prod to the qa system - will it work?
again - both QA and prod systems have the same client number - originally the QA system was installed using an import from the production (after prod system installation i exported it and imported to the QA system using R3LOAD and jload from the sapinst system copy tools)
Regards,
Moshe

what is the recommended way to do it?
QA refresh using PRO data is the recommended one if you have huge database
Client copy is not recommended one for huge database....
You can find all the pre, post copy steps in standard system copy guide

Discovey system Client copy error TA 074 cannot open log :\\hit-nxdomain\sa

I have HP Discovery system installed as per quick start guide. After the completion when I tried to cpy client 200 I get error msg TA074 can not open log:
hit-nxdomain\sapmnt\trans\log\cc000013.erp
Tried adding sapmnt full permissions to SAPserviceERP

I had similar error message and I figured it had to do with the host name. I had changed the server name after the installation. I changed the server name to its original and made the client copy.
Hope this helps.

Logical system name to be updated while client copy--URGENT HELP REQUIRED

Hello All,
I have a query regarding the "Logical System name" updation during Client copy.
When we make a client copy(SRM Masters) for the Production system(SRM),the Old Logical system name for backend(which is attached to the SRM masters) gets copied to the new Client (Copy) which needs to be updated.
There is a std transaction BDLS through whcih w e can change the current Logical system name to a new one but this seems to work fine for System copy but not for Client copy.
So when i make a client copy of SRM masters for Production system,is there any other std way wherein i can change the "Logical system name " for the backend or do i have to write a CUSTOM program wherein entries for the Backend Logical system name in tables like CRMMLSGUID will be updated with the new Logical system name?
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Disha.

Disha,
Yes, I did it twice and it worked fine.
The R/3 GUID is sent by the OLTP system (R/3) in R/3 message header.
SRM checks this GUID in CRMMLSGUID table.
If is not the same one, then replication process fails.
The only solution I found was to delete this entry. It is automatically recreated with the new GUID with the next replication, with FM CRMT_OLTP_LOGSYS1, called in BAPI_CRM_SAVE.
Look at OSS note 588701 & 765018 for deletion of CRMMLSGUID.
The issue is exactly ours: around system/client copy.
In an CRM environment, this is more critical, because we make a huge use of the middleware. But in our case, and especially after system/client copies, we can go, even if SAP does not guaranty anything, because we don't care about "old" replicated data (I don't care about old BDOCs, that should even be deleted after processing).
We have to take some risks sometimes...

PI 7.0 ABAP Proxy Wrong Namespace after Client copy

Hello,
i am looking for an PI expert because we have some problems with a standard ABAP proxy interface.
We use the FSCM Module and we send Credit Commitment Notification from a SAP ECC 6.0 to PI 7.0.
We use the Interface CreditCommitmentNotification_Out and it works fine on the Development System (D46). But on the integration system (Q46) it doesn't work. The Q46 is build up from our production system (P46) by a system/client copy.
We get the error:
The payload include a wrong namespace for the proxy interface.
wrong: xmlns:prx="urn:sap.com:proxy:P46:/1SAI/TAS7DF374ECCA722B654BFE:700:2007/10/04"
correct: xmlns:prx="urn:sap.com:proxy:Q46:/1SAI/TAS7DF374ECCA722B654BFE:700:2007/10/04"
I dont know why we get the wrong namespace. I check the transaction SICF, SPROXY and SXMB_ADM and compare it with the customizing on our development system. I didnt find any gap.
Please help me if you have some ideas what is wrong on our system.
Regards
Jürgen 8-))

Hi,
We experience the same problem after an upgrade from ECC 5.0 to 6.0
How did you solve this?

Salesdocs not flowing to CRM following client copy

Hi
Copied our Production OLTP and CRM systems. Run BDLS on OLTP and twice on CRM so logical systems okay .
Regrest for sales document will bring down changed doc but no new docs coming down.
Been in and created filters again via R3AC1 in CRM.
TBE11 okay in OLTP system as is CRMRFCPAR, CRMPAROLTP and CRMPRLS.
Nothing is hitting the CRM system when a sales doc is changed.
What else can I look at ?
Regards
Melita

Hi,
Since you did a client copy i am assuming there must be logical system GUIDs issue in the system.
Could you please checks the following:
1. In CRM look for the table CRMMLSGUID. This should have the logical system name of the R/3 that it is connected to and also the GUID. To check if the GUID is correct cross check with GUID from R/3 table CRMPRLS.
2.In CRMRFCPAR in R/3 this will give you all the RFC connections that R3 is connected to. If you want to check whether the CRM RFC value is defined correctly compare it with RFC destination in the Admin Console (smoeac).
If these are not matching then the systems are not linked correctly. We did the client copy and had issue with the logical systems.
Thanks,
Karuna.

Logical System and Client copy

Hi Gurus ,
             I just now finished ECC 6.0 successfully , I want to take the client copy . But i hacve one doubt , In client creation one TAB logical system is there , Kindly advice me how to create Logical system and steps .

Hi Manjula ,
              Below i mentioned the full detail about the error .
    RFC destination for client copy in systems with Financials Basis     (FINBASIS) component.
The system could not find any suitable RFC destination for processing     for client 000.     This note also appears if an RFC destination was found but this does not     work.     o   RFC destination: FINBTR@ID3CLNT000     o   Error text: Error during the retrieval of the logon data     Proceed as follows to eliminate this error:
1. Start the wizard to create a new RFC connection     or perform the following steps manually:     1. Create an RFC destination with the target ZK>source client of client         copy (in this case 000).
2. Check whether the RFC destination works in transaction SM59.         To avoid errors when assigning the password or the authorizations of         the RFC user, use the authorization test Test -> Authorization.
3. Enter the RFC destination:         -   Transaction: FINB_TR_DEST (Destinations for Transport Methods of             the Financials Basis)         -   Client: 000
4. Start the client copy again.
Kindly advice me

Client Copy back-end system

Hi Guys,
We have made a client copy of the back-end system of SRM (SRM 5.0). Only the back-end and not SRM has been copied.
After replication all the master- and customizing data again to SRM from the 'new' back-end I have found an issue with updating the suppliers.
It seems that I can not remove old business partners from SRM with BUPA_TEST_DELETE if these are used already in SC's. However the new copy of the back-end system has completely different suppliers we need to use in SRM. This causes for an inconsistency with the supplier numbers, as we want to keep the R/3 numbers in SRM.
Does anyone has a good idea how to proceed? That is, how can I remove the business partners (suppliers) in SRM which were used before the client copy of R/3, so that I will be able to completely get all the relevant 'new' vendors from the R/3 system after the client copy.
When I execute BUPA_TEST_DELETE it will end up in error saying the suppliers can not be removed. Do I need to archive all the old documents (SC & PO) before I can remove all vendors in SRM, or is there a way to force the removal of all the business partners from before the back-end client copy?
Thx.
Skander

Hi,
I already figured out how to solve the issue.
For anyone who wants to know how to:
-First clear the vendor groups in the vendor hierarchy; do not renove the root node
-Then run BBPGETVD which will get you the new vendors from the back-end; for me only role LF for suppliers.
-Then run BBPUPDVD which will update all the fields for the old business partner numbers in SRM which were used in documents, and replicated from the old back-end system.
In my case I had to play a litlebit with the setting 'only creditors', to update BP numbers which were not suppliers in the new back-end.
After performing these steps everything should be fine.
So it's perfectly possible to make a client copy of only the back-end system without copying SRM (in the classic scenario that is).

Client Copy Export/Import on large system. 1.5 TB

Hi,
We have a 3 tier landscape. DEV, TST, PRD.
Database size in PRD is 1.5 TB (1500 GB)
Our developers need fresh master and trans data in TST and DEV.
We are thinking about making a
PRD --> TST (1.5 TB) we do a system copy.
TST --> DEV (1.5 TB) we can't do a system copy. (Company policy says not to touch repository objects, version management what so ever in DEV....)
1. How long will a client export / import take from TST --> DEV, lets say we have "good HW" ? Will it work ?
2. I've read about TDMS but its toooo expensive.....is there maybe any 3 party tool that is good for this purpose ? Transfering 1.5 TB of data ...
Br,
Martin

Hi,
>1. How long will a client export / import take from TST --> DEV, lets say we have "good HW" ? Will it >work ?
In my opinion, a 1.5 TB database is much too big for a client copy.
It will work but may last a full week and would degrade the production system performance.
We have 1.3 TB databases and stopped using client copies since the system was 300 GB...
We only use database restores and renaming for system refresh even for the dev system.
There is procedure to keep the versionning of sources.

Olivier

Logical system on QAS after remote client copy from PRD to QAS

I wander after remote client copy from PRD to QAS do I have to change Logical system on QAS. Do I have to run some postprocessing program?
Thank you in advance

Hi Branko,
After the system copy, go to transaction SALE -> Sending and receiving Systems -> Logical systems -> Define Logical System , click New Entries and create a new logical system for your QAS; then go to SALE -> Sending and receiving Systems -> Logical systems -> Assign Client to Logical System, click on the client, click change and assign the new Logical system.
Other activities, check Jobs, RFC's, etc...

System Copy vs Client copy

Hi,
I have to choose between a copy with or whitout data from PRD system to DEV.
I'm little confused about the difference between System Copy and Client Copy.
Which is that includes a copy of data also?
Then, System copy = Refresh system?
Please, reply me directly, without post link.....
Many thanks.

Hi,
Please do an SDN search of these terms.

Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system

Hello,
we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.
Regards,
Alexander

Hi,
without conversion client copy is not possible

Client Copy and System Restore query

Dear All,
I have few major doubt regarding client copy and system restor.
1. In my Quality system there are 2 clients: 100 and 200.In my PRD there is only 1 client 300(other than the standard default clients). My doubt is during remote client copy with SAP_ALL profile from PRD to QUA why the space increases only in MB.
I have been asked the same question by my management. They are saying PRD is 300GB and QUA is 220GB then why the space increases in MB though all data is copied in client 200(QUA) from client300(PRD)
2. If I delete client why the space is released in MB. Because according to them it should be in GBs.
3. Now my third query is I have to restore PRD backup in QUA.So I said that this requires same <SID> and Same sapce in the sapdatafiles(OS is HP-UX 11.31 and DB is Oracle 10g).So I have to explain them why these two things are contradary to each other. In case of client copy space required is only in MB and in case of System restore of PRD in QUA sapce require is in GBs.
Your suggestions will be highly obliged.
Regards,
PG

1. In my Quality system there are 2 clients: 100 and 200.In my PRD there is only 1 client 300(other than the standard default clients). My doubt is during remote client copy with SAP_ALL profile from PRD to QUA why the space increases only in MB.
Response > Because during client copy your customizing and other objects are copied.
The database structures,tables etc are already present.
2. If I delete client why the space is released in MB. Because according to them it should be in GBs.
Response > Since client deletion is not same as deleting database /customizing tables .If you delete complete dataspaces/tables then there will be sizeable difference.Similar logic as Response 1
3. Now my third query is I have to restore PRD backup in QUA.So I said that this requires same <SID> and Same sapce in the sapdatafiles(OS is HP-UX 11.31 and DB is Oracle 10g).So I have to explain them why these two things are contradary to each other. In case of client copy space required is only in MB and in case of System restore of PRD in QUA sapce require is in GBs.
Response > Since in a system copy you will copy data files (which includes tables,and all otehr strucutres ) hence the size required will be similar to PRD.

Data migration from one DEV(DE1) system to other DEV(DE2) BW system using client copy or client export import

HI SAP Gurus,
Please find the below details:
SAP NetWeaver 7.3
We have to copy all customized or developed BW objects like master data, DSO's , Infocubes , Reports etc.
We need only the design changes but not the data within the DSO or cubes that exist .
We have tried below procedure:
1) Taken export of DE1 source client 400 with profile SAP_CUST
2) Imported transports generated for above export into DE2 target client 350.
3) Executed transaction SCC3 and performed post processing, post processing was successful . Still we are not able to see DSO's, infocubes ,reports.
Please lets us know what we need to do to fulfill our requirement.
Thanks,
Avadhesh

Hi Basis,
Please refer to below documentation on how to perform system copy in BI systems
How to System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes (NW2004)
Post processing steps for SAP BW system copy or db copy
BI systems has mostly cross client objects. So client copy with SAP_CUST profile will not serve your purpose.
Hope this helps.

Unable to login to IDES system after client copy

Hi guys
the IDES system which i was using was working fine. I was trying CLient copy today morning and was trying to create a new client in the IDES system.
The client copy failed due to a shortdump in the process.
Now i am unable to login to the client 800 as it says the user password is incorrect.
How do i get back my 800 client? is there a way to get back the client 800 or do i have any other optionn to re-set the password without logging on to the client?
i do have access to client 000.
please guide me what should i do? i need the client 800 back and should be able to login too.

hi,
i cannot login to client 800. I need to login first in the client 800 to go to su01 to re-set the password.
I want to login to client 800 which i am unable to do as a result of client copy. So the other option i am looking at is reset the password from client 000.
anyways thanks for your inputs
Hi guys,
any idea?

Audit Issue in QA after system restore and client copy

Hi Experts,
We have an audit issue and need your advise on that.
Our QA system was audited and auditors were looking for the approval tickets on which a user was created. I found that several users that were not created in QA and do not even exist in QA have their change logs in QA showing that user was created.
I researched it and found the steps that Basis and DBA's do when creating a new QA client.
1. Basis export user master and authorizations using SAP_USER profile from the target QA environment.
2. Then DBA's restore the QA Environment from the Production Backup.
3. Basis import back the preserved User master and roles using SAP_USER profile.
But when reading about this profile, I came to understand that change documents ( USH* ) tables are not exported and imported back. So that is why we have change logs in our QA from Production system.
So my question is how to solve this issue, where Auditors look at the change documents in QA and ask for the documentation though in reality these change documents are coming from Production. Should we ask for DBA team to truncate USH tables or is there a client copy profile that saves the change logs that we can export and import back.

Hi,
as you know the USH* tables belong to delivery class L. The tables in this class are never copied during client copy but you don't do client copy. Idea of deleting records from L tables after backup restore does not sound good because you will loose all data. As a workaround you could backup content of tables with delivery class L, export users SAP_USER, restore production backup, import users and import backup for tables with delivery class L. There is around 5000 L tables in ECC. Another approach could be to restore production on different box and do proper client copy to QA system.
Cheers
