DATABASE REFRESH ACTVITY FROM EP PRD TO QAS

Hi Experts, I am planning to db refresh from PRD to QAS on Enterprise portal systems.My environment is Windows/DB2/Unicode/SR2. Is db refresh process is same for ECC and EP or diifer? please provide me information for db fresh and is quite urgnet....is my first exp to perform this activity on EP systems.
Thanks.

The actual DB refresh is the same as the ABAP stack, the only difference is that you also have to get an export of the CI. This is because there is data in the database that needs to change given the new instance name or hardware as well as an install has to be done again to update registry (windows) and the software: /usr/sap/<SID>
You get a backup of the source, do the export of the CI. Restore the DB and do the DB and CI import. The DB part changes the schema if you change and resets all the DB authorities- very quick. The CI takes the longest- it essentailly does and install again, makes changes for the hardware/instance change and deploys all the applications/configuration again that gets reflected in the CI export files.
There's a nice guide SAP has out there that describes the steps and such and now sapinst has options for the system copy which makes if straight forward. There are lots of post steps that need to be done as well that are in the guide- we found a few others that are minor and will be found with testing.
RTFM.

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.

Database Refresh From ASM Filesystem to Local Filesystem

Hi ALL,
I am performing a database refresh from production server to a demo server. Our Production database is 11.2.0.1 and it is using ASM filesystem to keep the data, redo and other files in ASM disks.
On the other hand demo server is not having ASM, all the database files are stored in a local filesytem.
I have taken a fresh backup of our production database, but I am not sure to perform the restore part as the demo server is not having ASM.
Can anyone suggest me how to perform this, I mean datafile restore from ASM to local filesystem.
Any usefull links will be helpful.
Regards,
Arijit

Hello,
You can restore the backup of your Production database which is using ASM to your demo server (using file system).
Make sure that the control_files parameter in the pfile/spfile is pointing to the file system location where you want to have contol files located on the demo server.
Next, before you use the restore command to restore the database, provide the location of the datafile where you need to restore using the "set newname" clause.
run
set newname for datafile 1 to '<file-system-location-on-demo-server>';
set newname for datafile 2 to '<file-system-location-on-demo-server>';
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
}

Transports from PRD to QAS & DEV in SEM?

Hi,
I am in a strange situation. we are on BW 3.0B and SEM 3.1B. For some reasons, My predecessor who worked b4 me implemented SEM planning without DEV system and without transports.
I've been told that they are not developing any thing in DEV system rather they are developing and testing in QAS. once it is done, they make the same changes manually in PRD without transports.
they are doing this only for SEM planning. for BW, they are using DEV-QAS-PRD landscape and even transports.
I'm not even sure what to ask. but, I need to start from here. any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Now, I need to start using DEV system for SEM planning as well just like for BW. but, PRD is already running.
can we transport PRD objects back to DEV and QAS?
once transported, can i start development in DEV and transport developed objects to QAS and then to PRD?
if we can, what are the precautions we need to take b4 transporting from PRD to QAS & DEV?
Is there a way, to find out the differences between "PRD and QAS" and "PRD and DEV" to make changes manually for small changes?
if nothing is being done, atleast what i can start with to use "landscape DEV->QAS->PRD and transports" by keeping PRD objects alive and running.
DEV is no where close in synchronous with QAS and PRD. there are quite a bit of differences between QAS and PRD but almost synchronous.
I'm in a big need of help.
any kinda ideas are welcome

Hi guys,
I have to perform homogenous system copy from PRD to QAS.
My PRD is ECC6.0 EHP4 release 701 sp 103( SAP_basis) with oracle ver 10.2.0.4.0.
Is there any specific procedure for EHP4 or i can follow the below mentioned guide.
https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000514722009E.pdf.
What pre-requisite i need to take care before doing the system copy?
Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
All pre-requisite is there in system copy guide.Apart from that take user master backup of quality system and after system copy, import the user master data back so that you have same users in quality system.
Also, take RFC's backup also.
Thanks

Hi,
When you copy files of standby server to another target server ? - Yesterday.
Is standby is SYNC with primary? or MRP is still running? - ---------yes, standby db is running fine .
Even you can open database with resetlogs after recreating controlfile, no need of recovery too -- >I was unable to open . So went to apply arch files.
Do you have archive of thread 1 is in sequence #57887, -- No , Because sequence 57887 yet generate. I have applied all recent available archive log files.

Restore of PRD to QAS using homogeneous system copy

Hi All,
My current production system is SAP 4.7 Enterprise Ext 110 with 6.40 kernel on Oracle 10.2.0.2.
Operating sytem is RHEL 4.0 .
I am building my QAS system using these installation guides
"SAP Web Applcation Server ABAP 6.40 SR 1 on Linux: Oracle" and "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server ABAP 6.40 SR1".
I was able to generate the CONTROL.SQL, CONTROL.TRC and initQAS.ora files using the OraBRCopy tool.
Also successfully restored the PRD database minus the control files using
brrestore -d disk -b <backlog-file>.afd -m all
Wasn't able to do it via BRTools 7.0.
Database is coming up fine after running the CONTROL.SQL script.
However when I try to connect to the database as qasadm user with R3trans -d , I am getting this error.
This is R3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 07.01.08 - 14:25:00).
2EETW169 no connect possible: "DBMS = ORACLE                           --- dbs_ora_tnsname = 'QAS'"
R3trans finished (0012).
When I look at the dba_users table I am still seeing references still to PRD, and log below indicates an invalid username/password.
Here are the contents of the trans.log
4 ETW000 R3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 07.01.08 - 14:25:00).

Hi All,
Problem was solved by re-installing QAS using same SCHEMA ID as PRD, applying BRTools Release 700 patch level 33 and letting sapint perform the steps to completion
Markus your help directed me to the solution.

System copy Prd to Qas

Hi,
I have to copy Prd to Qas. Windows 2003, SQL 2005, Netweaver 2004s SR3 (BI 7.0) ABAP+JAVA
I have gone through the guiide and also through note - 151603. I can see that there are 2 different methods I can use.
One is Db Specific system copy and the other is Db independant system copy. Can some one tell me which one to use? What is the real difference? I am a bit confused on this part
Thanks,

Hi,
Please refer concerned Official SAP System Copy Guides to get more information with proper understanding.
Database specific methods varies from Database to Database.
Please refer this useful link : [System Copy and Migration|System Copy and Migration]

BI Database refresh and upgrade

Hi there,
I have just done the Database refresh on BW 3.5, copying PRD to Sandbox (BIX). If I delete sources system from RSA1 transaction that are pointing to R/3 PRD systems and re-create them newly to point to R/3 SBX? Do I loose the transfer rules? if yes, what is the best way to re-point them to R/3 SBX? rename the RFCs?
Please Advice!
Thanks in Advance
Kumar

1. Go to SM59 and change the existing RFC to point to the new system.
2. Right Click the source system and then do a source system restore.
3. Replicate all the required datasources.
4. Activate transfer rules. You can use the program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL

TO do the delta loads you'll have to do init wo transfer...

Transport the organizational structure of PRD to QAS

Good Morning.
I have the following issue, I want Transport the organizational structure of PRD to QAS. I am using the report RHMOVE30 in PRD With the following entries.
Variant of Plan Active
Evaluation Path --->A003
without Test.
without With lock.
In the field Request/Task, I create a Request. and run the report.
However the system not generate object into the request, only is Request and Task and not have object into.
can anyone help me?
Regards

Hi,
I tried to use RHMOVE00 to transport the organization structure.
In the transport request i included one Organizational Unit , the Position within , and the Owners assgined to that position.
Then when we got the request transported to QAS from our Dev server, I am seeing that Organization Unit and Position have been transported successfully. But the Owners assigned to the Position have not been tranported, because i guess we were not able to transport the relationship between the Owner and the Position, which we are struggling to find that how to transport the relationship.
You have also mentioned about expert Mode. But could u please tell us or guide us to some documentation on how to access the object by Expert mode.
Thanks for your help.
