DEV to QAS to PRD

Dear Gurus,
Help please!
I have a customer who wants to have a "GOLD Client". They need the changes done and approved in UAT to be applied to "GOLD Client" in DEV (I mean moving them backwards) and then move the changes directly from "GOLD Client" in DEV to PRD. I've never done this before and I am not comfortable.
Please suggest how to convince and more importantly are there any Best Practice documents from SAP I can show to the client in favour of my position.
Your quick response or guidance is highly apprecaited.
Regards,
Rach

HI,
JUst in addition to what Oliver written.
concept of gold client will work if you only have client dependent customizing. but if you also have work bench customizing which is client independent then the concept of the gold client will go for a toss.
You can copy the customizing via SCC1, which will be time consuming for you but what about the client independent cross client customizing ? how will they be tested ? because one its customized its universal for all the clients in the system.
I hope it makes clear.
Best Regards
NIraj

  • Can we transport BW QUERY VARIANT (created in DEV) to QAS and PRD?

    Hi gurus,
    I created a lot of QUERY VARIANT ( parameters saved when we execute queries )  in BW DEV.
    I am using those variants in my Analisys Process Designer and i do not want to create again in QAS and PRD.
    Somebody knows how to transport those variants?
    Is possible to assign by SE03? What is the code that object?
    Thanks for any Help!!!
    Carlos Eduardo Olinto

    I transported my Query Variants.
    - Variants must be created in DEV
    - Download the records from:
    > tables
    RSRVARIANT
    RSRVARIANTDIR
    RSRVARIANTTXT
    > Filter Field: VARI = "Query Variants Code"
    - Create request in DEV
    - Assign R3TR TABU <Table name>
    Tables:
    RSRVARIANT
    RSRVARIANTDIR
    RSRVARIANTTXT
    - Save the contents in each table (Only KEY FIELDS)
    - Verify the Lenght in each field, it must be correct (no spaces for each Field)
    I hope it helps you!

  • Transporting an ABAP query from DEV to QAS/PRD

    Hi all,
    I am trying to modify an existing query in DEV and move it to QAS and then to PRD. After making the changes in DEV, there was new transport request created, in which I had the changes for the query and in se93, i changed the name of the prog to the newly generated prog. after moving the transport to QAS, it is giving me a dump saying that the new prog generated in dev does not exist in QAS and hence the tcode does not work.
    after that i tried with the standard SAP report "rsaqr3tr" and tried to make another transport assuming that the program would be together with the transaction and will be transported together. But this does not work.
    I need help regarding this please - since it is an urgent rek - how do i transport the query after making changes to the already existing one - from DEV to QAS or PRD?
    Please explain in detail where and what I am missing.
    Thanks!

  • Transport Questions and Questionnaires from Dev to QAS or to PRD

    Question
    How do we transport questions and questionnaires from dev to QAS or to PRD. Do you type all them again or there is process no. What is best process others do
    Answer
    As you must be aware, Questionnaires are updated from a Recruiter start page in the front end which cannot be saved in a change request.
    At least Iu2019m not aware of any other way to move the Questionnaire details across clients.
    I know that it is quite a bit of a task to repeat the activity of maintaining questions and response in questionnaire/s across clients, particularly When you have to maintain big questionnaires (with lots of questions & multiple responses).But As it is , Process templates, Questionnaires have been considered as a recruiters day-to-day administration task in SAP which has to be done from the front end even in live environment
    Any body has soloution ?

    Hi Vishal,

    Atleast i'm not aware of any other way to move the Questionnnaire details across clients.

  • What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD?

    What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD in any company?

    Anand,
    let me start with saying that the question you ask may not help you to determine the duration of your project. As Ryan and others stated the duration of the project is highly dependent on the scope of the solution you are implementing, geographical scope, amount of modifications/enhancements, number of languages, number of users that need to be trained, amount of standard processes customer is able to re-use in the implementation and many other factors (like quality of implementation contractor you will chose and availability of customer and implementors resources). I can probably go on for another couple lines, but I guess you get the idea.
    With that out of the way let's talk about some example implementations that will give you an idea - Ryan did great job outlining what I would call traditional approach above. I have couple examples where customers leveraged innovative deployment strategies that are available today. In particular the project teams leveraged pre-packaged services like RDS, World Template or Best Practices as their baseline solution and they built from there. Second acceleration technique customers now leverage is the deployment in the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to accelerate the time to initial setup of the system and thus move from traditional blueprinting to scope validation exercise that further shortens the time. There are other acceleration techniques we see applied in some cases like use of iterative implementation of the delta requirements on top of the baseline solution.
    Let me offer few examples to illustrate what I explained above:
    ERP implementation at Schaidt Innovations with 3 months long deployment of ERP solution using ERP RDS as a baseline (you can view their testimonial here - Schaidt Innovations: SAP ERP on HANA in the cloud - YouTube)
    Customer in Asia with global template deployment that leveraged SAP ERP for Manufacturing with deployment to cloud and 9 countries rollout (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, Germany and US). The initial deployment took 4 months for first country and 2 months for rollout into the additional 8 countries - so total of 6 months. The original plan using traditional approach with full blueprint and heavy configuration was estimated to be more than double of the actual deployment time.
    There are many other examples where customers follow the assemble-to-order delivery model for their project and gain significant benefits doing so. I suggest you to review some of the recordings we did in 2013 about this approach and if you are member of ASUG review the Agile ASAP sessions we did for ASUG PM SIG.

  • Risks when maintain only one SolMan system for DEV, QAS and PRD systems

    What are the risks involved when maintaining only one solution manager system for entire client landscape(Small size).
    Or No risks are involved?
    Or Is this the SAP rrecommended approach for small size landscapes?
    One SolMan system -> DEV and QAS and another SolMan system -> PRD.

    Anand: Risks Involved depends on what all aspects\Scenarios the Solution Manager System is used for. It Could be used for the following purposes
    1) Service Desk
    2) Solution Monitoring
    3) System Monitoring
    4) Change Management
    How do you propose to use the Solman system ?

    Anand: This is the most idealistic and SAP recommended way of using Solman....it always better to have it this way no matter in how many scenarios you intend to use Solman for....

  • How to compare versions of DMEE Format Tree in DEV, QAS and PRD

    Hi,
    Is there a way to compare version of the DMEE Format Tree in DEV, QAS and PRD?  I would just like to ensure that version in DEV is in sync with the ones in QAS and PRD before I do my changes.  It seems that Version Management of Transaction DMEE can;t compare the versions in the three systems.  Thank you very much for your inputs.
    Best regards.
    Brando

    Brando.
    DMEE is a standard transaction which will be in sync with all the servers in your landscape unless there is any customisation done and the request is not yet moved.What problem are you facing when you are trying to do REMOTE COMPARISION ?

  • DEV and QAS copy from PRD

    Hi,
    We have ERP 2004 on Windows 2003 with SQL 2005.
    Due to some corrections(config changes and abap corrections) were made directly made in our PRD System, we now need to completely refresh our DEV and QAS system with PRD.
    As we do not have enough space to make a system copy, please suggest me a way to do a complete refresh without PRD data getting into DEV and QAS servers.
    Thanks and Regards
    Dev

    Hi Mukund,
    In your scenario , better to go for client export / Import process in order to refresh .
    Select the appropriate profile :
    SAP_ALL    All Client-Specific Data w/o Change Documents
    SAP_CUST   Customizing
    SAP_CUSV   Customizing and User Variants
    SAP_CUSX   Customizing w/o Authorization Profiles and Roles
    SAP_EXBC   Customizing, Users and Cross-Client Customizing
    SAP_EXPA   SAP_ALL with Cross-Client Customizing
    SAP_EXPC   Customizing Including Cross-Client Customizing
    SAP_PROF   Only Authorization Profiles and Roles
    SAP_RECO   Recovery (Only if Source Client = Target Client)
    SAP_UCSV   Customizing, User Master Records and User Variants
    SAP_UCUS   Customizing and User Master Records
    SAP_UONL   User Without Authorization Profiles and Roles
    SAP_USER   User Master Records and Authorization Profiles
    I think you need   SAP_EXPC    " Customizing Including Cross-Client Customizing " .
    Do not go for  SAP_ALL as it contains all config and data .

  • Not able to comapre roles in DEV and QAS using SUIM?

    Hi,
    I am trying to compare role in both DEV and QAS, DEV and PRD using SUIM t-code.
    While comapring its showing that roles are in different systems, not able to comapre.
    Actually role exisitng in both QAS and PRD.
    Individually I can login to QAS, PRD can see the role.

    For role comparision both the roles must be in the same system, in same client
    Transaction code SUIM -> Comparision-> Roles
    If the roles are in different system, then tranport the role into one of the system and do comparision. If no transport connection defined then, you can use the upload and download option in the PFCG
    comparing
    Run the t-code SUIM
    Go To Comparison and select the option of roles
    Click on Across systems option it will give option to select the sys name under Remote Comparison there enter the SYS ID between which system you want to do comparison and put the role name in compare role section then execute it will give you the result.
    If there is any difference b/wn the t-codes it will b in red colour otherwisein yellow.

  • 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..
