DEV and Sandbox

Cud anyone please explain the functions and uses of Development and Sandbox systems in the implementation of BW implemenation..
If u have any documents pls mail to [email protected]
Thanks alot

Hi Claudia,
Your typical landscape for any patch/version upgrade would be like this:
Sandbox -> Dev -> QA -> Prod
whereas the landscape for development would be like this:
Dev -> QA -> Prod.
As you can see the Sandbox system is not part of the development cycle. The sandbox system is typically used to test to any patch or version before it is implemented in Development box. The simple reason being even if there are errors in the patch it would not affect the normal development cycle.
Hope this helps.
Bye

  • Overwriting Dev and Stage DB's with Production creates Missing Dependencies

    When I refresh my Dev and Stage environments by restoring the DBs with those from Production, I get numerous Missing Dependency errors.
    We have lots of custom WSPs, and I think that the cause is that the production WSPs are overwriting those in the other environments without first retracting/deleting them.
    Is there a way to restore without creating these errors?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    if the custom WSP is deployed as a sandbox solution, then it'll be included in the content database refresh.
    the missing dependency stuff is all about finding GUIDs that SharePoint can't resolve... whether that's a web part or a feature.
    The retraction/deletion process doesn't actually clean up contents in the content database (web parts in use, etc)... it just handles the synchronous deployment of the feature between servers. So regardless of how a custom WSP is deployed/updated/etc, missing
    dependencies can happen.
    The question you need to address, is tracking down the missing dependencies, and determining whether they are still in use in PROD (perhaps the component was removed, but the web part still exists on a page), and if so making sure it's also available in
    DEV/TEST... assuming it's necessary... if a web part isn't available in DEV/TEST, maybe it doesn't matter, and maybe the missing dependency isn't an issue.

  • Problem in BEx analyzer output in BI dev and BI Quality

    Hi All
    I am facing a problem in BEx analyzer output in BI Dev and BI Quality server where the query is make on BI infoset.
    When i am executing the query in BI dev server then it is giving the output result but when i tried to executing the BI query in BI quality server the i got 'No available data found result'.
    I have also checked the same selection input result in infoprovider for infoset and output is getting for the same.
    Please suggest for regarding solution.
    thanks & regards,
    Gourav Sekhri

    Hi,
    check whether you have loaded data in to quality server if no, please load data for all the target involved in info set.  If data loaded check all the target 'request for reporting available 'or not.
    Also check whether data is showing in infoset or not.. if data availble there change your selection critiria accordingly.
    Thanks

  • Key figure diffrence in Dev and Pro

    Hi Experts,
    I have one cube in Dev and Production but key figure Current Price out put is difference in both
    like dev it comes 30.12 and in production getting like 30,12.
    but make sure i am using same keyfigure.
    Thanks

    Check the user default settings in SU01D tcode in dev and pro.
    SU01D -> enter ur user id -> goto Default tab and check the decimal notation.
    I guess it is 1,234,567.89 in DEV and 1.234.567,89 in PRO.
    Please make sure that this setting is same in DEV and PRO.
    you can ask your basis consultant to changes the settings....

  • Dev and Prod Environment Sync.

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to ask for your kind help in the following matter:  How to resynch the dev and production environments.
    For some (inextricable) reason, the production and development servers are out of sync.  Mainly the SLD content is in different versions. The production one is older. Oh and there is no QA environment.
    Besides that the business systems were created manually in each server and have inconsistencies. No SLD information was transported between them, only the repository and some directory information. Other directory information was created in the production environment directly. And I am affraid some development took place in production server directly too.
    So I have been asked to produce a plan to get all this mess into shape.  So far at a macro level I have these tasks planned:
    10.- Backup prod and dev servers.
    20.- Load latest CIM model and CR content on both servers (and see what happens).
    30.- Connect the SAP systems as SLD data sources to prod SLD.
    40.- Redo configuration in prod to point to automatically created business systems (and retest).
    50.- Cleanup of manually created business systems the prod environment.
    60.- Config the prod SLD as data source for dev SLD.
    70.- Redo configuration in dev server to make it match prod SLD.
    80.- Cleanup of manually created business systems the dev environment.
    90.- Create in the dev server the repository objects that were directly created in prod.
    100.- Test everything for consistency.
    Please help me improve the task list/order.
    -Sam.

    Hi Sam
    You are planning a lot of activity on a production environment. Two coments:
    1. When you have your dev SLD configured as you require, with CIM, PI Content & Business Systems updated etc .. perhaps you should do a level of regression testing on this environment before embarking on changing the Live env.
    2. Once you are happy that the Dev env It is possible to Export and import manually the SLD content from the Dev to the Live to align both systems, refer to link:
    https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000315022005E.PDF
    This is available through the Export Link in Administration page.
    Thanks

  • Analysis Authorization In Dev and impact of reports and roles in prod trans

    Hello,
    We are planning to switch to analysis authorization. We plan to make that change first in Dev and we were wondering what would be the impact on roles and reports we transport from dev (which is switched to Analysis Authorization) to production( on Old authirization) ? We wont transport new things to production till we switch to new auth in Prd.
    Thanks a lot,
    BP.

    Hello
    Even if you are transporting the roles from dev to quality and production, the analysis authorization objects will not be checked until you set "current procedure..." in RSCUSTV23.
    So there is no harm in transporting the roles and auhotrization until you change the concept to analysis.

    Any ideas?

    From DEV you show the Row Source Operations for the query. The column named "Rows" signifies the actual number of rows processed with each step.
    From PROD you show the Execution Plan for the query; that is, tkprof was executed with the EXPLAIN option which generates the execution plan as of the time when tkprof was run. The "Rows" column in the Explain Plan output comes from the PLAN_TABLE.CARDINALITY, which represents an estimate by the CBO for the number of rows [expected to be] processed with each step.
    So, if by <quote>The row count varies greatly</quote> you meant these "Rows" columns outputs then you're are comparing actuals from a database with estimates from another. Get the Row Source Operations from both.
    "Identical data and indexes":
    1. data may be the same, but it is not necessarily stored physically the same way.
    2. Indexes being the same means their definitions are the same; again, physically they are not necessarily identical
    In other words, data in PROD (the way it is stored on disk) may have evolved as a result of discrete deletes/updates/inserts ... in DEV it could be, for example, stored more compact if you took a copy of PROD and moved into DEV. So, the number of blocks for your segments will likely be different between PROD and DEV, the clustering factor for your indexes are likely different, etc ... things which could [and do] influence the CBO. The statistics may be different.
    I guess what I'm saying is ... it is quite hard, if not outright impossible, to get two identical databases/instances/load ... hence, don't expect the executions to be 100% identical, even if you have "identical data and indexes". By all means compare between DEV and PROD (make sure you compare the same thing though) and use the observed differences as an indicator for further investigation ... don't chase the goal of 100% identical behavior.
    Now, by all means look at that query taking 1 second in PROD ... I have only addressed <quote>The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.</quote>

  • One maschine for dev and test

    Hallo,
    i have one maschine for dev and test. i know that it is possible to do this with 2 instances. SAP recommend to separate dev and test on separate maschines. But it is possible. have anyone experiance with that? When i don´t want 2 instances it is possible to have one instance and separate only the systems for dev and test in sld? Have I to copy the business systems, change the servers and make the configurations in integration directory?
    Thanks in advance...
    Frank Schmitt

    Hi Frank,
    one reason for having two systems
    is that you won't be able to import
    directory to your TEST system easily...
    because both r3 (dev and test will have the same integration server - you won't be able to add them to 2 different transport groups... )
    this means that you will have to create almost EVERYTHING
    in the directory twice... 
    at least without doing some tricks...
    make the life of a developer and create 2 servers
    it may cost less then using developers for creating many things twice

  • Is ST-PI and ST-A/PI needs to be installed in DEV and Quality Systems.

    Environment:
    ERP and BI 6.0 / Windows / SQLServer 2005
    Hi All,
    Is ST-PI and ST-A/PI needs to be applied to DEV and Quality Systems of ERP and BW.
    I understand that ST-PI and ST-A/PI are necessary for Production Environment.
    Is it recommended to install or upgrade the same in Dev and Quality Systems of ERP and BW.
    Because I believe it is always good practice to keep all systems Support Packages including ST-PI and ST-A/PI the same in the same Landscape. (But could not find any documents from SAP.)
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Raghunahth L.

    Hi Raghu,
    you can get into the problems which I have said if you dont implement that,also many support packs do have their dependencies on ST-PI and ST-A/PI and seriously I havent heard people implementing this on prod and not dev and qa....I have worked on with many big clients but never heard this
    Also if you ignore whatever I have said,still it is still recommended that you never apply anything directly on Production,It is always better if you first implement on dev and qa and see if you are facing any issues while implementing...so its always better to implement on dev and then qa
    and It doesnt take too much of time,so that should not be an issue after all
    Always follow SAP best Practices

  • How to add EP(DEV and QAS and PRD systems in solution manager)

    Dear Gurus,
    I want to include EP dev and qality and prodution systems in solution manager .
    While installation of EP(only ASJAVA it is not having ASABAP) i selected solution manager as a Central SLD. But i deleted the systems in solution manger and recreated it again. I created all the systems and datatabae and logical components but in maintenane optimizer it is showing only production system but it is not showing development and quality systems in maintenance optimizer.
    How to see developmnet and quality systems in maintenace optimizer.
    Same thing for ECC also.
    ECC dev and quality systems installed in the same server.
    In maintenace optimizer it is showing only dev sysetm it not showing quality sysetm.
    Can any body help this probelm.
    Thanks & Regards

    I think you need to adjust your filter settings in the initial screen of MOPZ.
    It's in the right top corner.

  • Special Characters issue in DEV and QAS

    Hi,
    I am uploading a file that has special characters (Japanese).
    In the DEV system the special character is converted to #. Which the business wants.
    In QAS system the special character is not converted and is as it is, which makes the business users difficult to find out if any speical characters are there and they don't want the special character as it is
    The file consists millions of record with a possibility of four or five records with special characters
    The special characters on keyboards is not an issue.
    The programs in DEV and QAS system are same and the file tested is also the same but different results.
    Tried in Tcode SNLS to find something but didn't know what and where to look into.
    What could be the issue in this? Looks like this is Basis issue but would like to know if anyone can let me know.......

    Hi ,
    i want to check ur open dataset statement in the program which is being used here if at all in ur case.
    Can you please check the relavant code page in both the D and Q systems and search with the appropriate hexa decimal values(for the special characters ) in both the systems ..
    u can use code page by tcode scp ..
    ex -> as u say a special char sp1 is having entry in q and code page which is being used (like 4200 )
    is not having in d03 .
    then if in d03 this page has no entry then it shows as # , since it is showing in q then it has an entry over there. this is my guess..
    so if at all the client wants not to see this special char's , u need to remove them from this code page.. and check ..
    Cant say if this can solve but u can take this as one more way of dealing with code pages  and special chars....
    br vijay..

  • Report working in different ways in BI Dev and  BI production

    Hi Expert,
    I have created a Report in which i am giving input to the variable(Date input) and using this i am displaying all the values that is till the date that i entered, and it is working fine in BI dev, but in BI production it is showing only data that is equal to supplied date only.
    Although i had checked all the restrictions and variables are as it is transported.
    if you have an idea please share your knowledge please...
    Regards
    Prakash

    Hi,
    Are you using this date variable in the global filter or in any of the local KFs?
    Are you using the operand 'less than or equal to' for getting all the values less than or equal to this date?
    Is this operand same in both the systems?
    Is there data in production prior to the date range that you have entered?
    Can you check the information on the report output to find out what value is captured in this date variable?
    What is the last changed date of the queries in dev and Production?
    I hope any of the above should give a clue to solve your issue.
    Thanks.

  • Data Sources Discrepency in R/3 DEV and QA

    I compared RSA6 in R/3 DEV with R/3 QA and there were many data sources missing from the QA system. WHy is that? Is that normal? What do I need to do match the two systems? Thanks.
    Message was edited by:

    You may not want all of the datasources in Dev to be in your QA system.
    If someone goes through the system and randomly turns on datasources to "see what's there", then you may not want all of those datasources to be moved up the landscape.
    Example, I'm looking for Sales data, I may turn on 4 or 5 datasources looking for the right data.  If I only find it in 1, then that's the only datasource I will transport.
    If have a matching DEV and Test system, they could be knocked out of synch if Test is refreshed from production and production doesn't match DEV or Test.
    IMHO, it's okay if they are not matching and completely expected.  The second you turn on a datasource in DEV, the systems don't match.

  • Looking for libxtst-dev and libxtst6 for Solaris 10 x86

    I am trying to compile Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net) on a Solaris 10 x86 1/06 system and need the libxtst-dev and libxtst6 libraries. I believe these are part of XFree86. I searched Google and found these on GnuSolaris.org as Debian-based packages (http://www.gnusolaris.org/archive/elatte-testing/x11/libxtst-dev). First off I do not know how to install these Debian-based packages but more importantly question their compatibility with my OS. So are the libraries I need available for Solaris 10 and if so how can I get them? Thanks.

    Ok, I tried the newer version of the beta audiohd backport and it almost works on the Optiplex 960. The only problem is the that "internal speaker" and "headphone" button functions on the audio control GUI are reversed, functionally. Tacky but acceptable. This is version audiohd-2008-10-15. On the Optiplex 755, this rev still will not shut off the internal speaker no matter what you do.
    I can work with the audiohd beta, until Sun comes out with a new rev of the audiohd patch. The video controller issue is still a problem. No screen blanking. No 1900x1200 resolution. Not acceptable. :-)
