DEV Test Company question

Hi experts,
I'm not sure where to post this question so please forgive me:
I'm coming from SAP Business One and now getting involved with SAP R3/ECC. I can't wait to explore the many things about it, but I have a question:
I really want to understand the business procedures and I'm wanting to create a test company, I have access to the DEV environment but I don't have access to sandbox. Is it Ok to do it in DEV and delete the transport requests?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Marianne,
Yes, you can do it in DEV environment. If you delete your TR still, your data will be there in DEV. I hope that will not be any problem. So, Go ahead.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhijit

Working with one SLD for Dev, test

We have one SLD for dev, test enviroment.
We have 2 instance of XI(dev, test). Each XI system must be registered in SLD.
But how Adapter Engine, Integration Engine of SAP system (ABAP Proxy) will determine to with XI system to connect?
Is it right design?

hi Denis,
>>>>Is it right design?
one SLD is advisable for ALL XI instances
so don't worry it will work

have a look at : SXMB_ADM -> integration engine config
do you see the address ?
you always point one r3 client to only one XI instance
here
BTW
but having one SLD and many XI server is something different

How deploy PL/SQL Web Service through dev, test, production

Please can you assist with this simple question from someone new to the Java world.
I have created a set of web services from existing Stored Procedures in the development database. I now want to move these to the test database and later to UAT and finally to production. How do I change the data source to be used? A number of these will be on the same App Server but with different derivable names identifying the database to which they connect.
With my BPEL process I was able to use Ant with a Deployment Plan to do search and replace for changed parameters but I cannot find the equivalent for these Web Services. Using 10.1.3.4.
Any guidance appreciated.

In JDeveloper the Application entered is created as a folder on my PC. I was surprised to find that this is then used to form part of the URL for the web service.
This being a built in feature, lead us to the conclusion that we could use this to divide our web services between databases. The calling programs, all internal to the business, can derive the environment and establish the correct naming of the URL to link to the correct database.
We have licences for 2 physical Servers. We have 4 environments - dev, test, uat and production. What would be the normal method to run multiple environments on the same Application Server. We want production on 1 server and the others on the other server.
Are there guidelines for this situation.

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.

Can we have two R/3 Source Systems(Dev & Test) in BW Development....?

Hi All,
Till now we have only BW Development box..
Our Landscape for R/3 side is R/3 Development, Testing and Production.....
Already we have connected R/3 Development with BW Development... It is working fine as now... We have finished our task at Development...
My doubt is Can we Configure R/3 Testing to BW Development....eventhough R/3 Development is already configured with BW Dev....
Can we have two R/3 Source Systems(Dev & Test) in BW Development....?
Please help me out in this issue....
Your help will be appriciated...
Regards,
Kiran Telkar

Hi Kiran,
You can create second source system which will point to SAP R/3 Quality .
If you have transported all datasource activation requests to QA environment then all datasources are available in R3QA as well.
After creating source system , replicate datasources.
Only thing you need to do is to replicate efforts of assigning source system (R3QA)-> creating transfer rule -> Create info package and load data.
Hope that helps.

Rename the Company Name in test company

I did the backup then restore database from SQL Server. I noticed the test company has same Company Name only the Database Name is different from Original Database Name.
Can I rename the Company Name to distinguish with the Original Database now? I get confused when I did some testing not even to users.
Thanks,

Not only you can, buhttps://forums.sdn.sap.com/post!reply.jspa?threadID=1175227#t also you must. Otherwise you or other people will be confused sooner or later. It is very easy to change company name.

Best practice for maintaining URLs between Dev, Test, Production servers

We sometimes send order confirmations which include links to other services in requestcenter.
For example, we might use the link <href="http://#Site.URL#/myservices/navigate.do?query=orderform&sid=54>Also see these services</a>
However, the service ID (sid=54) changes between our dev, test, and production environments. Thus we need to manually go through notifications when we deploy between servers.
Any best practices out there?

Your best practice in this instance depends a bit on how much work you want to put into it at the front end and how tied to the idea of a direct link to a service you are.
If your team uses a decent build sheet and migration checklist then updating the various URL’s can just be part of the process. This is cumbersome but it’s the least “technical” solution if you want to continue using direct links.
A more technical solution would be to replace your direct links with links to a “broker page”. It’s relatively simple to create an asp page that can accept the name of the service as a parameter and then execute an SQL query against the DB to return the ServiceID, construct the appropriate link and pass the user through.
A less precise, but typically viable, option would be to use links that take advantage of the built in search query functionality. Your link might display more results than just one service but you can typically tailor your search query to narrow it down. For example:
If you have a service called Order New Laptop or Desktop and you want to provide a link that will get the user to that service you could use: http://#Site.URL#/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?query=searchresult&&searchPattern=Order%20New%20Desktop%20or%20Laptop
The above would open the site and present the same results as if the user searched for “Order New Desktop or Laptop” manually. It’s not as exact as providing a direct link but it’s quick to implement, requires no special technical expertise and would be “environment agnostic”.

What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PRD?

Hi,
One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
Best Regards

Hi AJ,
Nice PDF !
Though the PDF does give a basic idea as to how we can go about the deployments using ANT and EM in Test and Prod, it doesn't really give extensive details. For eg. ANT would obviously need huge ANT scripts to be written for migrations to multiple Test servers, etc.
Similarly, when we talk about EM, does it mean each of the services has to be manually deployed on Production ?
I am sure we would be looking more towards a fully automated solution. No ?
Best Regards

It has been discussed here in detail-

since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?You may use deployment plan for this purpose. For access control, you may use Role Based access of Weblogic and EM. Please refer -

Customize Portal application to access Dev/Test/Production SAP systems

Hi All,
We have requirment from client, to develop a custom portal application.
1. When user login into Testing portal (eg., Development or Testing system or UAT system or Production system) and want to access the all (Dev / Tes / UAT / PRD) system SAP GUI with SSO concept from customize portal applciation once he select the dropdown list either Dev/Test/UAT/ PRD.
Our code.....
in layer-config.xml file, we have defined systems
- <layer-config>
- <system>
<layer>Dev</layer>
<internal>true</internal>
</system>
- <system>
<layer>Test</layer>
<internal>false</internal>
</system>
- <system>
<layer>PRD</layer>
<internal>false</internal>
</system>
</layer-config>
In Java code
public class Accesstoall extends AbstractPortalComponent {
 public void doContent(
 IPortalComponentRequest request,
 IPortalComponentResponse response) {
 response.write("Select the system");
 try {
 LaunchpadConfigReader reader =
 new LaunchpadConfigReader(
 request.getPrivateResourcePath()
 + "/"
 + "layer-config.xml");
 for (int i = 0; i < reader.getBackendSystemConfig().size(); i++) {
 response.write(" "+
 reader.getBackendSystemConfig().get(i).toString());
 if (reader
 .getm_backendSystemURLInternal()
 .get(i)
 .toString()
 .equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
 response.write(
 "<a href='"
 + "http://vep"
 + reader.getBackendSystemConfig().get(i).toString()
 + "wd.eu.xerox.net:8219/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction?System=SAP_BW&TCode=SE38&Gui=WinGUi"
 + "'>launch system</a>");
 } else {
 response.write(
 "<a href='"
 + "https://ep"
 + reader.getBackendSystemConfig().get(i).toString()
 + "ns3.eur.xerox.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction?System=SAP_BW&TCode=SE38&Gui=WinGUi"
 + "'>launch system</a>");
I want to call the XML value in JSP file as dropdown list and once dropdown selected, user needs to display link of SAP GUI system in table.
Please can you advise which approach will be the best on external and internal portal.
Appreciate on your feedback.
Thanks,

Hi Praveen,
for internal portal, you can create 4 different system object in portal landscape for 4 different systems and then implement sso between portal to those system and use sap transaction iview
for external portal, go with your way.

How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

Hi
According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
bla bla bla.
Please help.
JM

Hi
Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.
cheers

We need to stat HSD (DEV) testing

Hi All,
Currently we are working on 4.7 version with few days we are going complete support stack upgrade. After that we will go upgrade fro 4.7 to ECC6.0
After that we need to stat HSD (DEV) testing.
Could you please let me know how to prepare test plan or test scripts and please share your experience regarding this.
Aditya.

Since nobody knows how you use the system and what you're doing with it how should we tell you what to test?
We usually do an "integration test" after such bigger upgrades, every "module" that you use should test its processes and also interaction with other modules (e. g. if an invoice is correctly create in the FI etc.)
