Dev is ODI and Prod is Sunopsis

We're in the process of upgrading from Sunopsis 4.1 to ODI. During this time, can I use the ODI Designer to view our Production Master/Repository which has not been upgraded? Or do I have to maintain my Sunopsis Designer until everything is converted to ODI?

Firstly I want to say that I haven't done the test.
But for having updated several time Sunopsis environment into ODI one I think that you won't be able to connect to your Sunopsis Repositories with an ODI Designer.
But I can be wrong.

ODI Objects Migration from Dev to Test and Prod Enviornments

Hi ,
Can someone please advise the order of the steps that have to be followed for ODI code migration form Development to Test and Prod Environments ?
Below are the Details ,
ODI Version : 11.1.1.6.0
Development Environment : 1 Master Repository (M1) and 1 Work Repository
Test Environment : 1 Master Repository (M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Prod Environment : 1 Master Repository ( M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Test and Prod environments are on the same master Repository.
Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt response !!!
"If they are not in sync, import models, datastores, topology first & then import interfaces/projects"
Do we import Models, data stores ? Since they are execution repositories we can only import scenarios right.

Transporting roles from dev to qa and prod servers ep6sp11

Hi
We have EP6 SP11 -erp2004
I will be transporting roles from the dev environment to a QA(quality assurance) and a production portal server.
Only the roles needs to be transported, <b>no</b> user assignments to be transported.
I have read some docs on this and would just like to confirm this is the procedure:
Basically:
1.Export the roles to a common directory
2.Importing it in qa and prod
3. From here onwards i need help on..Do i add the roles through delta links??? What other steps needs to be done?

Hi Pradeep
Thanx for your reply.
With the exception of the delta link assignment, i will assign it directly, I can just follow the procedure i have written?

How to deploy Business components from DEV to QA and PROD

I developed Business components in my development database using JDEVELOPER and would like to port it to QA and then production. Because XML files have all your constraint names in there, which will be different in my QA and Prod., how do I make if work. Should I be playing with my XML files...???

The constraint names are not used at runtime, only at design time. They would be used if you decided to forward-generate the DDL for your tables.
Not to worry.

Upload file to global directory in Dev, Q&A and Prod!

I have an upload application in BSP, that uploads files to for example /usr/sap/BWD/files
this works in Development, but of course this directory is not available in Production, so BSP won't work there.
Isn't it possible to use one global directory?
Right now somebody created for us a directory, that's the same on all 3 systems (Dev, Q, and Production)
this dir is
on Development: DIR_TRANS     /usr/sap/transBW
on Quality: DIR_TRANS     /usr/sap/transBW
on Production: DIR_TRANS     /usr/sap/trans
notice the small difference in path in Production... Is there a way to use the DIR_TRANS instead of the real path?
my application writes data like this:
fname = '/usr/sap/CBD/files/FILE.CSV'.
OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT in TEXT MODE encoding default.
if sy-subrc gt 0.
WRITE: / 'Error opening file'.
endif.
LOOP AT data_TAB INTO LIN.
TRANSFER LIN TO FNAME.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET FNAME.
thanks a lot, points will be rewarded for usefull answers!
thanks!

use transaction FILE to create logical path for the actual file path.
and then use FM
call function 'FILE_GET_NAME'
         exporting
              client           = sy-mandt
              logical_filename = pil_file "Input logical file name
              operating_system = sy-opsys
         importing
              file_name        = p_i_file "Physical file name
         exceptions
              file_not_found   = 1
              others           = 2.

How to set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment?

We have used BI publisher Enterprise (standalone), Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1. Our admin set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment based on the folder. For example, there is DEV folder, TEST folder and PROD folder. Developer is developing reports under DEV folder. Under TEST and PROD folder, there are many sub-folder based on the login user role. Sometimes a report has to be assigned to a multiple sub-folder under PROD. So our admin create symbolic links in the Linux box which BI server is located. That way, if a report is updated, there is no need to update the report in all sub-folder.
The issue I have is we are not allowed to touch any files under TEST/PROD folder. Only admin will move the report from DEV folder to TEST/PROD folder because those links admin created might be broken. However, as a developer, we still have permission to delete/rename/copy report under those restricted folders. Yesterday one report under PROD has been renamed by a developer. And admin complains because the links he has created not working anymore. Just wonder if admin doesn't allow developers to touch the reports under those folders, is there a way to remove the write permission on those folders? Also do you think this is a good practice to set up DEV, TESDT and PROD environment? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

In SAP BW landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD

Hi all,
In SAP BW system landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD.
whether one server is enough for DEV and we can use virtual servers to QA & PROD?
Regards,
chandu

Hi chandu,
In my previous Organisation we got exactly the same landscape for BW as you described.BCS(BAYER COPSCIENCE LTD) operates a BW System Landscape with one centralized Global Development System and three regional Quality Assurance and Production Systems located in Europe, Asia Pacific and Americas. This Landscape is to ensure consistent data models to be available in all regional systems as well as to minimize development efforts and make use of respective synergies.
This is perfectly working for BCS ,and I think, this is the most approriate way of handling of resources.

Performance problems between dev and prod

I run the same query with identical data and indexes, but one system takes a 0.01 seconds to run while the production system takes 1.0 seconds to run. TKprof for dev is:
Rows Row Source Operation
1 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BANDVALUE
3 NESTED LOOPS
1 NESTED LOOPS
41 NESTED LOOPS
41 NESTED LOOPS
1 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_PACKAGE
1 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN SYS_C0032600 (object id 51356)
41 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BANDELEMENT
41 AND-EQUAL
82 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_BE2 (object id 53559)
41 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_BE1 (object id 53558)
41 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BAND
41 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN SYS_C0034599 (object id 53556)
1 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN SYS_C0032549 (object id 51335)
1 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_BV1 (object id 53557)Tkprof for Prod is :
Rows Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT MODE: ALL_ROWS
1 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_BANDVALUE' (TABLE)
52001 NESTED LOOPS
26000 NESTED LOOPS

1 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0018725' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
26000 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_BANDELEMENT' (TABLE)
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BE2' (INDEX)

26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0018674' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BV1' (INDEX).The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.
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>

免 Chaines Char not accepted in QA system, working fine in Dev and PROD

Hi Experts,
I am stuck withchines char e.g. 免
BW QA is not accepting it, I can see the PSA data 免 converted to #, where as same records show proper 免 in BW DEV and PROD.
I checked the data in source system (RSA3) properly showing 免.
I rechecked the SM59 RFC setting in QA and compare with DEV.
All system are unicode supported.
Please help to resolve.
Thank-You.

I crated a new flat file text datasource and tried to load data (chines char) and that to work in QA.
Don't understand what's issue with 0CUST_SALES_ATTR extractor. ?

Form getting misaligned in QUA SYS and PROD SYS , fine in DEV SYS

We have a PO smart form in development system which is working fine .But in QUA and Prod sys the text is getting misaligned.
The problem is with the text that is assigned to a table line type with fixed column width , which is not displaying in the respective column width assigned to it.
Instead it acts as if there is no table line type assigned to it .(display as normal text and not as columns in table line type)
There is also an smartstyle assigned to it.
I checked with the table values in both sys and it is same.
Also the smartstyle is active and is same in both the systems.
Please note that this problem didn't pop up previously and was displaying fine in QUA SYS and PROD SYS
This problem happened when the previously working form( in Dev sys) was altered with a small text in the heading of the
form and was transported to QUA and PROD SYS.Apart from changing the heading we didn't touch any text or tables or styles anywhere in the form .
Why is this problem happening ?
Please help us to resolving the issue !

HI Just remove the new text which you have added in the header and check. SO that we can can find out this problem is due to Text or not.
Thanks

Query Comparison in DEV, QA and PROD

Hi,
Is there any way to compare the queries in DEV, QA and PROD to make sure that all the boxes have all the queries (provided we have followed the system landscape like transporting from DEV to all other two).
If not (this is happenning most of the time, because users are creating queries directly in PROD), we have to compare each and every query against the particular Data target in all the three environment.
We want to have a control in such a way that all queries are only created in DEV by the users and we will transport to QA and PROD. Once after making sync between landscape, we will restrict the access to the users to create directly in PROD.
Please help urgently.
Thanks,
David

Hi,
Use S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 for BEx security and specifically for Query use S_QUERY.

Consistency between dev and prod systems!!!!

Hi All,
I wuld like to check the consistency between Dev and Prod systems for all the Data model and other objects existing. I would like to do this sanity check to see whether the two systems are in sync. Are there any tools or transaction codes within SAP framework which can guide me in this direction.
Kind Regards,
Surya Tamada.

Hi Surya ,
First build whole data flow :
1 .Create Infoarea ,Infoobjects & Masterdata ,Infoproviders ,Infoobject Catelog under Infoarea,MetaData - Characteristics MeteData - Key Figures
2 DSOs ,Infocubes ,Infosets, Multiproviders ,Views in the development system ,Datasources for BW system,Flat File Datasources,Transformations
then get data from the se11 tables as per your requirement :
like RSDVCHA ,RSDBCHATR,RSDCUBEIOBJ,RSDICMULTIIOBJ etc and built view on it as per your requirement .
then built flat file data sources and transformation .
get all data downloaded to flat file in ur PC .In the same way from other system.
make flow from PC File Datasource -> DSO -> Infocube and build queries for different objects .load the downloaded files to them and then run query .
ex : query to compare cube will take cube name and systems name as input and compare objects .

Jaya

Multiple connections to dev and prod

Hi All,
I trying to connect multiple environments (Dev and Prod) from shared connections in Smartview.
When I right click on the existing planning I couldn't see anything (there were suggestions from other posts that by right clicking you will get an option to add new server).
Also I have differetn URL's for dev and Prod.

I think from 11.1.2.2 onwards the ability to add servers in Shared Connection is removed and an enhancement is filed to have that ability.
You can use private connection to connect to different instances
http://DEV:19000/aps/APS for Essbase
http://DEV:19000/HyperionPlanning/SmartView HyperionPlanning
If you are on 11.1.2.3 you can create an XML file and use that as your Shared Connection

SYSTEM LANDSCAPE - DEV and PROD - refresh

Hi All,
We have a situation like this.
1. Our BW Q&A is a copy of PROD
2. Our BW DEV is not either a copy of Q&A or PROD.
3. We have issue with a particular process chain in PROD and we need to correct (and follow the lanscape..that is want to do the correction in DEV and the transport to QA and then to PROD)
4. Since this particular process chain is not existing in the DEV environment, our Basis team is advising us to check the difference in DEV and PROD for as this process chain concern and then want to refresh it to DEV system so that we can carry out the change/modification.
We don't know really what exactly we need to find the differences between DEV and PROD for this PC and then to inform to Basis team...
Is it correct that since the particular process chain associated with various queries,data targets,update/transfer structures...etc will be over writen / copied / refreshed in DEV system from PROD?
Please advise..Please help..

Hi George, SAT, BWer,
Thanks for your messages.
George : Answers to your question:
1. Our Basis team want to copy all the configuration (related to the particular process chain only)and not Data's.
2. How to pack the process chain in a portable file and extract this file. then import it into DEV..and what is the way not to get error when doing so (knowing that fact that obejects will be different..) I don't know..whether to copy the objects are or not..
3.I agree with you.. Even we are ready to work with DEV to PROD..
SAT: Answers to your questions:
1. I do see some Process chains in the DEV and not related to this particular PC. Many development PC are there..and I don't know where the originally developed PC's ???!!
2. I am new to this Client..sorry..how this has been deleted...
BWer :Answers to your questions:
1. Yes..PC is Latest in the PROD.
2. We don't want to create the process chain all the way from scratch in the DEV. Yes..This is one of the process chain used in the metachain...Totally there are five chains in the PROD related to this..We need to modify only the second process chain..which we are trying to copy in the DEV and then do the changes...
Hope , you are clear about our requirement.
Please advise me what exactly we need to look into the DEV and PROD system so that required PC is copied alomg with (????) to DEV system..Please help.
Thank you very much in Advance..

OWB10gR2 : One Repository and Multiple Enviroments(Dev , QA and Prod)

Hi All,
In 10gR1 , Runtime repository and Design repository used to be 2 different schemas. Because of this , we can simply have one repository in development and deploy the mappings into QA and Prod.
In R2 , runtime and design objects are present in a single repository. Do we need to install separate repository for each of the environments(Dev, QA and Prod) or is there a way to manage multiple envs without multiple repositories?
Thanks in Advance
Mallee

Hello Malle,
We are in a similar situation so our setub looks something like this.
We have a database which serves the purpose of design repository. Let's call it owbdev.
We have three target databases (data warehouse). Let's call them whdev, whqa, whprd.
In the db owbdev we configured an owb user (as owner of the repository) and various other users (as developers).
In whdev, whqa and whprd we did the same configuration except this time, we called the repository owner in each of these target databases, owbrun. This will be what we call in R2 our control center.
Then we deploy from owbdev to any of the three targets after having setup the appropriate locations and control center configurations in owbdev.
If there is a better way to do things I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Mike
