Customization copy from ECC Prod to Dev

Hi gurus,
There is a complaint from our BI team that so much of customization was directly made in QA in the early phases of the SAP Implementation Project and this was not re-developed in DEV and moved to QA and Production. This has resulted in loss of customization in development and is not suitable for Unit and Product testing.
To put Prod and Dev in sync with customizing, I propose to export Prod / QA client 100 (with SAP_CUST profile) and import into DEV client 100. What are your views on
the best practices
technical feasibility
client security implications
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Abdul

The same product is installed, with the same release, in both systems.
All components in these systems, including add-ons, have the same development status.

SAP_CUST only copy customizing data. so, there is no risk of misusing production data as in case of system refresh.

Problems if code copied from ecc 6.0 to ecc 4.7

HI Experts,
If i copy code from ecc 6.0 to ecc 4.7 any problems will arise. like function modules not exist. Please let me know the basic problems which i can face if i do this copy from 6.0 to 4.7.
Thanks.

why don't you just test it? Copy it over and do a syntax check.
If there was no difference then SAP would not need to provide different releases.
Of course there are function modules in current system which were not written when 4.7 was launched at the market. When we implemented ECC6 we upgraded as well to Unicode which forced us to change coding in old programs.
There are ABAP commands which have not been there at 4.7 times.
You can't get a clean bill of health for such generic question, you can just test it, and if there is trouble then you need to fix it to make it run.
If you have read some OSS notes for new developed functionality then you could know how rarely SAP offers the option to implement such function in a lower releases.

WF Copy from ECC 6.0 system to 4.6 system - sww_wi2obj

Hi,
We are trying to copy a work flow objects from ECC6.0 to 4.6C...where we found the following Select statement.
*Determine Top WorkItem Instance
if im_top_wi_id is initial.
select wi_id top_wi_id wi_rh_task into lw_top_id from sww_wi2obj
up to 1 rows
where wi_rh_task = im_wftask and
catid = 'BO' and
instid = l_instid and
typeid = 'FIPP'.
endselect.
endif
As table sww_wi2obj can't be found in 4.6C, can any one help how to replace or implement the same logic as above statements.
Thank you....

Hi Ravi..
The code what I a gave u is in the function module for which only imported parameters are :
BUKRS
BELNR_D
GJAHR
SWW_TASK
SWP_WF_ID
so if im_top_wi_id is initial. then they calling the select statement.
So this case as you suggested to use function module SWL_WI_HEADER_READ, for which what parameter I can pass as Import to get the same result of Select statement.
Sorry for the trouble...

CRM Return/Complaint - Manual Condition not getting copied from ECC Invoice

Hi There,
I am creating Return/Complaint Request and referencing <i>ECC Invoice in TRANSACTION DATA > Referenced Documents Tab.</i>.
All other condtions are getting copied except the <b>manual fixed price and manual discount.</b> These condtions are present in the referenced ECC Invoice. So while referencing ECC invoice all the condtions should get copied to CRM Return/Complaint Request.
Please suggest.

Transport of Customizations from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0

Hi,
We have some customizations done in ECC 5.0, which we now want to implement in ECC 6.0 (Freshly Installed). Can we transport these customizations directly to ECC 6.0 (after checking the release notes to see if any functionality has changed between the versions, which would effect the customizations).
If not, is there some other method which you would suggest.

Hi,
SAP typically does not support transports between different releases for consistency reasons. SAP will usually explicitly document where it is possible (usually in a SAP note). I personally have not seen one for mySAP ERP 2004 and 2005.
If you do transport between releases SAP can't validate that the transport was successful (i.e. all table entries and data dictionary entries are consistent logically and from a business configuration perspective).
I think you have three options:
1. copy your mySAP ERP 2004 system to the "new install" server and upgrade it to mySAP ERP 2005.
2. Install a new mySAP 2004 system, do initial configuration, import your transports, and then upgrade it.
3. Install a new mySAP ERP 2005 and manually recreate the configurations.
All have pros and cons. I would usually recommend #3 as your configurators will have documented their configurations in detail so it should not be too difficult to re-implement them (right?)
I hope this helps,
Mike.

Configuration is not copied from CRM to ECC

Hi,
We have one contract in CRM and configuration for the line items are done in CRM. Now when that contract is replicated in ECC, configuration of that line item is not copied. So when we create sales order with respect to that contract in ECC, we will have to do the configuration manually.
We have observed that the item category for the particular line item in question is active for configuration in CRM and not customized to configuration in ECC. Is it because of that the configuration is not replicated?
Please help
Thanks.

the configuration (variant configuration and not customization) that is done in CRM contract is not copied to ECC contract. Is it because that item category in CRM is activated for doing the BOM configuration and the same in ECC is not activated for doing the BOM configuration?
My question is that if item category in ECC is not activated for BOM configuration then is it like that the BOM configuration in CRM will not be copied to ECC?

Client copy (export/import) from ECC to BW

It is technically feasible to import a client exported from a NW system installed as ECC 6.0 into a NW ABAP Stack (designed to be a BW system)?

Hi,
1. SAP_ALL profile would not copied using export/import method (SAP ECC --> BW ABAP) as most of the tables of ECC are not present in BW (mismatch of data dictionary structure).
2. You can copy SAP_USER (user master record)
3. If your ECC and BW systems are not in same transport landscape/shared transport directory (trans group), then copy/ftp the export files from ECC (data and cofile) to BW system (same path - usr/sap/trans) and add the transport requests manually to import buffer of target system/client.

BW System copy from PRD to DEV - Reduce database size

Hi All
We are in the process of copying our existing Production BW system (3.5) to become a new Development & test system. We want to reduce the database size significantly from 1.4 Tb to about 150 - 200 Gb. We have deleted all cube and ODS data as well as much of the master data but still have much tablespace tied up in monitor entries (eg table RSMONMESS) and IDOCs. All of the notes I read say that we cannot delete from RSMONMESS in a "Prodcution" environment, however we are creating a new DEV system and really need to get rid of monitor entries anyway. So there are two questions:
1. Any idea how we can clear up table RSMONMESS or delete unwanted monitor entries ?
2. How can we delete IDOCs copied from our production system without archiving them ? (They are of no use in our new test system.)
Please help.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Paul,
See SAP Note 694895 - Performance and tables RSMON, RSDONE
Note Language: English Version: 5 Validity: Valid Since 29.11.2005
Summary
Symptom
Tables RSMON* (for example, table RSMONMESS) and tables RS*DONE (for
example, table RSSELDONE) continuously increase in size in the BW system
with each request that is created.
Currently there is no option to reduce these tables.
Do not delete any entries from these tables. If you did, this would have
the following consequences:
When you carry out the next check for the requests for which you have
deleted records from these tables, the check will not run properly.
The status of the relevant requests turns RED in the monitor, and also in
all affected data targets that contain the request.
The affected request and all subsequent requests are no longer visible in
the reporting - all queries on the affected data targets then only display
old data.
Numerous dumps will occur in various situations.
You will not be able to repair the errors caused by the deletion.
More Terms
RSMONMESS; RSSELDONE; Performance; RSMON; RSDONE;
Cause and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
In the next BW release (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s - that is BW 7.0), you
will be able to archive entries from the RSMON* and RS*DONE tables using a
request archiving process that archives the administrative information for
requests.
After archiving, these tables are then considerably reduced in size.
Until then, there is unfortunately no option for reducing the tables.
Rgds,
Colum

Client Copy from BWP to BWT

I had a problem with my List Cube Transaction and for that reason, I had a look at the Infoprovider and also the Data Sources.
When tried to execute the infoproviders in LISTCUBE, the following messages are being displayed in BWT system:
1. Error reading the data of InfoProvider ZIP_RC_01
2. There is still no data source assigned to VirtualProvider ZIP_RC_01
But, when executed the same in BWD, then it is working fine.
I have checked the Data Sources in the R/3 Dev system and the DS has no problem. But, when I check the DS in the R/3 Prod (SS in BWT system), the following error message is displayed in the status bar:
"DataSource Z_IP_RC_DS_1 is not defined in the source system"
I thought, as the system says the Source system is not available, hence the problem in LISTCUBE and thought if we transport the DS again and then replicate in BW, then our problem would be resolved.
But, seems that even though the source system says "PRD300", if I look at SM59 it actually points to our QAS system. It says PRD300 because BWT is a copy down from BWP, and that's the source system we use - in other words the logical name is the same, but the actual servers are different.
In any case, the datasource is transported to our QAS enviroment.
So, once we do a client copy from Prod to Test, even the source systems get copied. If yes, then does it really affect in case of replications and transports???
I am really confused in this part...please explain.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
It looks like the basis team, or whoever performed the Copy from production to QA box hasn't finished all the necessary Steps :
Main transaction to know:
SSC4 -> To create new client
SCCL -> Client copy within local system
SCC9 -> remote client copy
SCC3 -> display client copy log

Probably sounds like transaction BDLS hasn't been done.

Process for separate Prod and Dev enviroments

apologies for the newbie question....currently I have 1 SSAS instance with Cube , measure and dimensions and DB which is Prod and Dev at the same time (most likely Dev with
no Prod).
Now when business users started using Cubes, I'd need to add Prod instance and separate Prod and Dev.
what 'd be the best approach?
1 - should I just copy and reuse the latest version of SSAS project in Visual studio, and reuse this project as PROD and have another Project as DEV?
2. how do I apply Dev changes to Prod?
3. re backup - is it enough to backup VS (Visual studio) project/solution definitions?

Ideally you need to have two instances i.e DEV and PROD. Now since you have a server which client is already using, you need to create another instance wherein you can install SSAS services. If you want to extract the structure of your cube then you can
use Import option. Once you get your cube structure and database on another new server you can use that as a DEV or PROD as per your convenience.
http://aniruddhathengadi.blogspot.com/2011/09/create-analysis-services-project-based.html
Another question is how to deploy changes;
So if you are doing any development on DEV server and you want that to deploy on PROD server then you can extract the cube XMLA from DEV server cube copy and deploy that on PROD server. You need to process cube once you deploy your XMLA on PROD.
There are some other options of deployment available which you can check.

Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

Hi there,
after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dierk

Hi Dierk,
Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.

Creating support desk messge from ECC "Help"

Hi Experts,
I am working in SP20 EHP1 of Sol Man.
Kindly provide the configurations & authorizations to be done in ECC system & in Sol Man system to create the support message from ECC "Help" menu.
I have created the ZLFN transaction type (copy of SLFN). When i create the support message in ECC help menu, i need to create the support desk message with "ZLFN" transaction type.
Your valuable inputs required.
Regards
Senthil

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for the SAP note. Can you explain point no:5?
1. The client was not completely created by the copy of Client 001
    I need to check this with basis team
2. The BCOS_CUST table was not maintained correctly
    In BCOS_CUST (In satellite System), i have maintained the following:
    OSS_MSG W SM_DM3CLNT110_BACK CUST620 1.0
3. Missing authorizations for message creation (correct: roles copied from SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_CREATE and SAP_SOL_SERVTRANS_CREATE or SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE)
I am having SAP_ALL authorization in Satellite system. Is these roles to be assigned in Sol Man also?
4. incorrect action profile assigned for the message type SLF1 (correct: SMSD_ABA_MLDG_SERVICEVORGANG or SLFN0001_STANDARD_DNO)
For SLF1, i have assigned the action profile :SLFN0001_STANDARD_DNO. But inside this action profile, i have changed the values like PROCESS_TYPE to "ZLFN" & PARTNER_FCT_CREATOR to "ZLFN0002".
5. Number ranges are not assigned correctly
Can you explain this? For SLF1 & ZLFN , i have maintained "Internal" number ranges.
6. The logical system is not defined
Logical system for Sol Man & Satellite system is created.
7. Modification of the standard settings of the message type SLF1.
I have changed the Text for Priority in SLF1.

Replication of Quotations from ECC to CRM

Hello Experts,
The scenario is as follows:
I am required to replicate all the quotations from ECC to CRM.
My question is: what are the various middleware settings to be done?
I have created a transaction type for quotation by the same name in ECC and CRM so far.
It would be great if I can get help on the following:
1. What are the item categories that I need to maintain on both ECC and CRM side for Quotation?
2.What action profile do I need to maintain on ECC and CRM side for quotation?
3.How should the number ranges be defined on ECC and CRM side for quotation?
4. Do I need to do a Cross-Copy Control of quotation from ECC and CRM at the transaction and item category level?
5. Do I need to assign the Quotation Type (ECC) to ERP Profile on CRM side?
6.Can the transfer of quotations from ECC to CRM happen only after replicating the product and customer data from ECC to CRM?
What more needs to be done?
Once the settings are complete and fool-proof, I know I can run an Initial Load (R3AS) on the object: SALESDOCUMENT from R/3 to CRM.
What are the filter settings to be maintained in SalesDocument Object?
Experts, this is my requirement and all the pointers would be greatly helpful.
Many thanks,
VSK.

Hello
Please find below my reply :-
1. What are the item categories that I need to maintain on both ECC and CRM side for Quotation?
>> You can make a Z copy of the standard Quotation Item categories in ECC and CRM.
2.What action profile do I need to maintain on ECC and CRM side for quotation?
>> Action profile settings are specific to your business scenario. You need to define ACTION Profile in ECC. In CRM you can have an ACTION PROFILE and assign it to the CRM Transaction Type
3.How should the number ranges be defined on ECC and CRM side for quotation?
>> If ECC is a leading system for quotation creation, the number range will be EXTERNAL in CRM and assign this EXTERNAL number range for CRM Quotation Transaction Type
4. Do I need to do a Cross-Copy Control of quotation from ECC and CRM at the transaction and item category level?
>> Yes
5. Do I need to assign the Quotation Type (ECC) to ERP Profile on CRM side?
>> Not sure on this. Requesting other experts to answer this.
6.Can the transfer of quotations from ECC to CRM happen only after replicating the product and customer data from ECC to CRM?
>> Yes. The master data such as Material, Customer, Pricing should be downloaded to CRM, if the quotation needs to be replicated to CRM.
Hope this will be helpful.

Master/Transaction data from ECC to APO-BW

Hi All,
     Normally we come across scenarios where Master/Transaction data is pulled from ECC to BW and then pulled into APO-BW. What are the pros and cons of CIF (direct connection between ECC and APo-BW) rather than pulling data from ECC to stand-alone BW and then into APO-BW?
Regards,
Joy

Hi Santhana,
If you want to add data of ECC to APO BW & Then in to DP, then follow the following Steps.
1. Create Generic Data Source in ECC for thet Sales Order table.
2. Replicate that data Source in to APO BW with Source System.
3. Create whole data flow process by using created Data Source.
    Data Flow Process: 1. Info Package
                                  2. Info Source
                                  3. Info Cube
                                  4. Transformation between DS & IS, Then IS & IC
                                  5. Data Transfer Process.
4. Load data from ECC to APO BW
5. Use transaction /n/sapapo/tscube, for copy Info Cube data to Planning Area.
Hope this will help you.
Regards
Sujay
