Data migration @ Copy Express

Hi guys,
I want to migrate the configurations, master data & definitions from the test database to the production database.
But I face issues with Copy Express during the migration.
During the copy process, CE hangs up or takes a long time and then gives an error.
I tried db to db and db to xml , no cure.
Then , I updated the version of CE to 6.80.01.60 ,BUILD_DATE: 190607_111200
Sap B1 version is 7.40.252 SP:00 PL:36
What could be the issue? What is the best practise to migrate data to the final db ?
What are the differences b/n 2005 B SP:01 and 2005 B SP:00 version of B1 ?
How about the B1 test tool? Will it be helful for test run of db ?
Thanks,
Vijay

I went thru some treads related to issues with CE and seems like many faced similar kind of proplem with CE.
What is the most stable version of SAP B1 ?
I will upgrade my B1 & CE to that version and give a try.
Is there any SAP internal documnent for CE?
Thanks,
Vijay

Problem while copying datas using Copy Express

Hai Experts,
Greetings.
We were trying to copy Master and Configuration datas from test database to Live database using Copy express. The datas from Item Master, BP Master copied Correctly, but, in CoA (we are using Segmented Accounts) the G/L Account --> the Code column shows the System refernce no. (ie., _SYS00000002679) and the Name of the G/L Account is copied correctly.
Is there any solution to solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards
Raja

On your test company, there's segmented accounting setup. Is the segmented accounting setup on the Live company (or have you managed to use copy express to copy over the segments and other settings)?
If you've done that, then maybe you could export to XML your Copy Express worksheet and upload it somewhere so we can have a look?

Vendor Master copying through Copy Express

Hi Experts,
I am copying from One Database to a NEW Database ( this database has diffrent configuration ) the Vendor Master Data through Copy Express but while runing the Copy Express I am getting an error as 'Bank does not exsits in the company'. In the Base Company Database from where I am copying has a diffrent bank acccount but in the NEW Database which is created is a another company and has diffrent bank account hence I cannot keep the same bank account as in the Base Compnay Database.
Please let me know how to achive a soltuion to it.
Regards,
Kawish

Dear Vijay,
Please note that the folowing details as required by you.
SAP Version - 2005B
Patch level 39
When executing the query from query generator as SELECT * FROM T0.BankCountr, T0.BankCode,T0.DflAccount,T0.DflBranch FROm OCRD T0 I am getting value in Default Bank as -1 and and rest coloumn are blank.
If I create manually the House Bank Account in the target company ( which means I create the base company bank account in the target company ) then upload may be done but one have to then manually change in the vendors BP master the target company bank account which is a tedious task.
Hope you are able to give a proper solution in this regard.

Copy Express distorting data

Hello
We have used Copy Express to copy one database into another.
This has led to several data corruption :
- loss of tax account in the tax settings
- change of item group code number (without a proper renumbering of data)
- copy of one user table into another one
Copy was done folder by folder (but we didn't do it all in one go) and I didn't untick any customisation.
We are in B1 2007 patch 37.
Has anyone seen those type of problem ? How did you solve it ?
Thanks
Fabrice

Data Migration from Legacy System in IS-U

Hi All,
We are going to Implement a new IS-U project, I have a problem with LSMW(Legacy System Migration Workbench ), I have some Conversion Objects of IS-U and I need to know whether Data Migration is possible or not, please tell me how to find these Objects and how to know Data Migration is possible or not.
Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Business Partner Relationships
4. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
5. Connection Object
6. Contacts
7. Contracts
8. Opportunities
9. Payment Arrangement History
10. Payments
11. Premises
12. Rate Changes
13. Security Deposits
these are few and there are some more..,
Thanks in Advance,
Sai.

Hi Ram,
Use Transaction Code EMIGALL. It will ask for company code. By default Company Code is SAP. If you entered with the SAP you will get all the objects.Then goto menu IS-U Migration-->User Handbook. It will give you details Idea.
Also Check the following Procedure
You can find detailed documentation of EMIGALL in SAP itself. Use Transaction EQ81 to display it. It provides all the concepts and procedures to work with EMIGALL.
Here are some points about EMIGALL :
1. It Migrates data Business Object wise
2. It uses Direct Input Technique
3. It has more than 100 objects of IS-U
and the steps for implementation goes like this:
1)You have to create a user specially for migration which will have all the authorizations related to migration workbench, BASIS and IS-U
2)You have to create your own company in EMIGALL. There is a default company called SAP.
3)Company SAP contains all the Business Objects
4)You have to figure out what business objects u need and then u have to copy those business objects to ur company from Standard Company SAP
5)Each objects contains more than one structure and each structure can contain more than one fields. The relation goes like this
Object ---> Structure ---> Field
6)You have to define field rules for each required field of the object. You have to mark "Not required" for fields u don't need
7)After field rules for a given object is set u have to generate load report i.e. actual Direct Input Program which will migrate data. This program is generated on basis of field rules set by u.
8)After the load report is generated u have to prepare an input file (import File) for migration. The import file should be according to structure provided by SAP and must be in binary format. SAP Provides the structure of file according to your configurations. You have to write ur own Data conversion program(in any language) for this task.
9)You take import file as input and migrate the data using generated load program
10)Finally u can check the Migration Statistics and Error Log

How can I make a migration copy of my email addresses for use in another program.

It is necessary to make a migration copy of all our email addresses for transfer to windows express.
Our office overseas can not use Thunderbird & needs all our email addresses stored in Thunderbird copied for migration into their windows express program. How can this be achieved.?
I think we may also need to transfer email copies too, can this be done.?
If so, how.?
Regards Kym

Ok I have googled, I have found a windows cleaning company in Switzerland http://www.windowsexpress.org/About-Us.htmland something called Parallels Desktop for Mac with instructions for installing windows on a mac.
So I think we need to go back to the beginning with "What is Windows express?"
Email programs as a general rule do not "export" their contents into another mail clients formats. The normal procedure is to "import" the foreign format so there are some obvious questions
What formats can this mail software import?
Are your existing mail accounts IMAP or pop?
you can export email addresses from Thunderbird as CSV which almost all programs can read (including spreadsheets) From the address book select the Tools menu (Alt+ T) and select the export option

Data Migration from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We have done a migration project for one of our client.
This migration was done from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010.
After the migration was completed we developed lot of new webparts, lists ,application pages in this newly migrated farm in SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010.
However the entire project took around 1 year due to some unavoidable delays. During this one year our client was using MOSS 2007 sites for there work. hence the data in MOSS 2007 farm/sites was continuously updated.
Our client needs to go live in next month and also needs the sites/lists/libraries which are migrated in new SP 2010 farm to be updated as per the MOSS 2007 farm.
Kindly suggest best possible way to achieve this data migration since last 1 year from MOSS 2007 to newly migrated SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010 farm.
Kindly note we have done lot of customization and new developments in newly created SP 2010 farm.
Thanks and regards,
Amien

Hi there,
If you have already taken care of customization on SP2010 server. Then use any of the migration tools available in market to migrate data to target SP server.
Content Matrix gives free 25 GB to migrate your SharePoint data (https://www.metalogix.com/Resources/Promotions/Content-Matrix-Migration-Express-Download.aspx).
If you don't know what is changed in last 1 year, then best thing to do is add new content database and migrate your data into it.
Hope that helps.

Tapan

Data migration from hard drive, as opposed to over firewire in target mode

i'm selling my macbook and getting a new imac. in an attempt to be fiscally responsible, i will be buying the imac after i have the cash in had for the macbook. i will do a carbon copy clone tonight, but when i get the new imac, how painful will the data migration be from the external hard drive to the new imac?

A new iMac includes the migration assistant utility. Plug your external drive into your new iMac. Start up the iMac for the first time. The iMac first time procedure ask if you want to migrate your data. Say yes.
You can run migration assistant later. It's in:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Migration Assistant

SAP Data Migration from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hey All
We are planning to upgrade SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6 in near future. I am aware that data migration is not an issue as upgrade takes care of it all. What we are concerned with is that if after a few days of upgrade when the system is functional and users have performed some quantum of transactions on it, in case if the system fails then and we have to revert back to R/3 4.6C how can we get back all the information that we processed on ECC back to R/3.
I would like to know if anyone who has performed an upgrade, had some kind of fail over strategy for such a situation. Is there some tool we can use for this purpose?
Regards
Bilal Nazir

Simple answer: not possible.
> I would like to know if anyone who has performed an upgrade, had some kind of fail over strategy for such a situation. Is there some tool we can use for this purpose?
No - there is no tool.
Table structures change, update programs changed - it's not possible to "roll back" that to a date and re-do it on 4.6c again.
Do minimize the risk I would copy the production system to a sandbox, do the upgrade and let the (key-) users test their functionality intensively.

Copy Express/ Account Segmentation

Dear All,
Am trying to make a duplicate of a Database by using copy express. Note that the Chart of Account is segmented. I have managed to copy everything using copy express except the Accounts . The title Accounts are being copied but no active account is being copied. If I view the log file after the copy express process, I can see Invalid Code in the error field.
Anyone having the same issue and managed to solve it
Thanks
Kentish

I have used the following link and managed to get things working.: Re: Copy express COA
You need to actually do the migration in steps.

Data Migration from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0

Hi Friends,
We are into a re-implementation on CRM 7.0. The old system was on CRM 5.0.
Since this is not an upgrade, the data will not copied over from the old system into the new system.
So, now I would like to know how to migrate data (master/transaction) from CRM 5.0 into 7.0.
I have read that we can make use of BAPI/LSMW/IDOC/XIF adapters to push info into CRM.
But, the customer wants all the historical data to be in the new system.
I think master data can be handled.... but how to migrate the transaction data?.... i mean the number ranges/document flow.. and other relationships.. how can we maintain the same links into the new system?
If it was a migration from legacy system into the SAP CRM, we could have gone ahead with new number ranges etc... but this migration is from SAP to SAP.
Also, we will have ECC6.0 connected to CRM 7.0. ANy additional things to be taken care of when the connection is live in DEV/QA/PROd instances?
Any pointers to this ?

Hi Gary,
As per my understanding, your data migration involves quite complex scenarios covering the CRM and ERP box. As the customer needs the old data to be present in the new implementation, the old data needs to be migrated from the CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0. For the migration to happen, you need to setup the customization (like the number ranges,Condition Data Tables, etc ). Then only you can proceed with the data migration. Also, you need a proper backup plan as this involves proper backup of the data.
Once the setup is complete, you need to configure the ECC6.0 with the CRM7.0 system. Here also, you need to do a lot of settings and performing the Initial loading of the Adapter Objects. But before you proceed with the entire operation, the entire system landscape must be properly defined with appropriate settings.
My recomendation is to take help of SAP Consultants and data migration experts as they are the best persons to guide you on this. Also it would be great if you can go through the SAP Best Practices documents which are best repository documents to guide you on this.
Have a look on this link for an overview of the CRM Data Migration
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/1a/023d63b8387c4a8dfea6592f3a23a7/frameset.htm

Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition

Hello Experts,
I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
Example of the scenario is given below:
Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
SAP going live on 04/01/2009
Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
Revenue recognition is done monthly.
We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks A Lot
Anil
Edited by: Anil Jose on Sep 17, 2008 9:38 PM

Hi Anil
How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

Copy express

Hello
I try to copy data from one data bas eto another and I have the same message displaying I do not know how to fix the issue:
"Failed to create default folder for application file. Check option for default folder assignment"
what folder does it mean? is it under path option? what type of folder to use?
Thank you
Guillaume

Hi
You have to create a folder on your desktop and set that path at the time of copy data.
When you will start copy express, at the time of selection of Base database and target database, you have to set the path for log files.

Using Copy Express in PLD

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to transfer PLD layouts from one database to another using Copy Express.
Can any one help me to solve this issue. bcs i have created all layout in test data base now i want to transfer to production database ....ASAP pls....
Karthi.

Karthi,
Copy Express will surely do the job and if you want to just copy a few templates individually, you could use this SQL Script
INSERT INTO [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RDOC\]
SELECT [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\].* FROM [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\]
WHERE [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\].DOCCODE = 'CHO*****'
INSERT INTO [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RITM\]
SELECT [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].*
FROM [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\]
WHERE [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].DOCCODE = 'CHO*****' AND [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].DOCCODE
IN (SELECT DOCCODE FROM [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RDOC\])
I DocCode example shown above is of the Check PLD template
You can get the DocCode from the PLd Document Properties window
