Dev - UAT - Prod env migration

Hi Experts,
Apps 7.9.6 OM module is already implemented on the Sun Solaris sandbox . Could you please help me how can I migrate the existing OM module to the UAT & Prod env. I would appreciate it if you can tell what effort is required to do this.
Thanks,
Kris.

Hi everyone
We finished implementing BI Apps for HR, Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement and Service modules. I am also interested in the best practice of migrating this to a UAT and subsequently Prod environments.
Any thoughts?

Better way of deploying the ODI artifacts across Dev,UAT,Prod instances

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have to deploy the ODI artifacts from one repository to the other across various instances.
From what I learned from the export and import operations in ODI documents provided by Oracle, we have Internal Identifiers (IDs) for each and every export and import. And while importing the work repository, we have to delete the old one and then import the new one.Is there a way where we can use the existing identifier and just append the changes?
Do we have any better way of deploying the ODI artifacts across Dev,UAT,Prod instances that would import the artifacts and also import the changes to the existing artifacts?
Any kind of information related to deployement is higly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure you have understood how the object identifiers work in ODI. When you migrate artifacts/objects between repositories (as long as your repository ID's are unique across the environments) you should be able to import using Synonym Insert/Update mode and this will give you desired behaviour you are looking for. The only area that really requires close attention during the process is ensuring that you import the various artifacts/objects in the correct sequence

How to migrate an ODI scenario from DEV to PROD env

I have a PROD and DEV environments which are same, however I have now developed a new package/scenario on the DEV and would like to merge it with PROD.
One way I generally do is to drop the PROD ODI repositories and then Export , Import from the DEV ODI repositories; this process does not suit us as we have an incremental development on daily basis.
Is there any other way I can transport the DEV scenario development to the PROD?
Thanks in Advance
B

I think that would be far easier if you just export the scenario which is a xlm file and then when you are logged in on Operator (if work repository is the execution) you import the exact exported file , pretty simple!!
best regards

Tool to migrate configurations from Dev to Prod

Is there a tool to migrate configurations from one Oracle environment to another? For instance, to move a flexfield setup I created in Development environment to our Production environment. Both systems are the same version. I just didn't want to re-create configurations we have done in Dev into Prod by hand again.
Thanks.

We use Mercury Deliver for our migrations. It used to be called Chainlink, then Kintana and now Mercury. Its been purchased by HP so it is probably due for another name change.
We use it for all types of migrations that can be done with FNDLOAD and WFLOAD. It is also used to migrate packages, forms, reports, 'C' code, etc. It is completely customizable so when it didn't have a migration object for OA Framework extensions, we built one.
It is very powerfull (also expensive). Takes a bit to setup but once it is configured it is very usefull. I would not recommend it for a small installation with only a few migrations but in envionments where there is a great deal of change it does pay for itself rather quickly.

Catalog Migration from Dev to Prod

Hello,
Certain users of our system are unable to login to OBIEE after we migrate to Prod. Getting the below error
access denied for user to path /users/*USERNAME*/_portal/dashboard layout
USERNAME is the userid used to login to obiee
In our Prod, Users have access to Answers and hence they save their reports under My Folders.
While we migrate the new set of dashboards and reports from Dev to prod, we overwrite the System, System.atr, Shared, Shared.atr files of Prod with the corresponding files from Dev. Thus retaining the Users and Users.atr files of Prod.
Security: All are users/pwd are stored in the RPD
Is there something wrong with the migration procedure or is it a bug?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

+2) Why did you migrate the "System, System.atr" ? Try without this one, but just the "shared" folders and files.+
System, System.atr are migrated since this folder stores the Privileges and data formatting etc. These configurations need to be migrated to prod as well.
However I tried what you suggested and USERNAME is able to login and see the dashboards. But the Privileges and data formatting changes in Dev didnt get into Prod
There is a Security folder under System. Do you know what it is used for. Should I try to retain this folder in Prod?I don't really know.
The object permissions (like report permissions) are supposed to be in ATR file (i think so...), but there are other permissions and security things everywhere.
But i appears to be a clue to solve your problem.
+3) Do you have a backup of the previous Prod webcatalog ? If so, try to copy the USERNAME/_portal content into the new one.+
This might work, but I really need to identify what is the root cause for this since we have migrations bi-weekly and this issue might pop-up again for a different userOf course. I just suggested that to see if if the /username/_portal were really different, despite you didn't upgrade them.

How to migrate document hierarchy from DEV to PROD?

Need some suggestions as to migration of the document hierarchy. The migration wizard is great for migration objects such as portlets, but it's cumbersome to migrate the entire document hierarchy from DEV to PROD as we will have to select all the leaves in the hierarchy to retain the tree. Does any one have the similar experience and have some suggestions? Thanks!

This is wrong forum for such question, you might want to post it here

Help needed regarding the deployment architecture for PROD env

Dear All,
Please help me with some clarifications regarding the deployment architecture for PROD env.
As of now I have 2 single node 12.1.1 installations for DEV and CRP/TEST respectively.
Shortly I will be having a PROD env of 12.1.1 with one DB node and 2 middle tier (apps) node. I need help in whether -
1) to have a shared APPL_TOP in the SAN for the 2 apps node or to have seperate APPL_TOPs for the 2 apps node. The point is that which will be benificitial in my case from business point of view. The INST_TOPS will be node specific in any case right?
2) Where to enable the Concurrent Managers, in the DB node or in the primary apps node or in 2 apps node both for better performance.
12.1.1 is installed in RHEL 5.3
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Please refer to (Note: 384248.1 - Sharing The Application Tier File System in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12).
For enabling the CM, it depends on what resources you have on each server. I would recommend you install it on the the application tier node, and leave the database installed on one server with no application services (if possible).

How to use the repository; uploading reports from DEV to PROD...

Hello...
I'm fairly new to CR-XIr2 (SP3) but have worked with Crystal Reports since v6.0. I'm trying to figure out how to create a dynamic parameter list that someone can select an item from, which will get sent as an input parameter to the SQL Server 2005 stored proc that populates the report. I'm also trying to figure out if there's an easy way to copy reports from a DEV environment into PROD. We have BOE.
Basically, I would like to find out resources online or in books on how to use the BOE repository for dynamic and/or cascading parameters (i.e. pulling a list of text values & their associated IDs from a lookup table that won't be used in the report), images (i.e. corporate logo), etc.. What complicates things for us is that IT is now requiring us to use a DEV environmentit was really easy when we had unlimited access in PROD! We also need to put together a process where reports & other repository objects that are copied from DEV to PROD access the correct db, etc. (Crystal Report in DEV accesses DEV db/repository/etc.when copied to PROD it accesses PROD db/repository/etc.)
Anyway, I'm just looking for info on where to begin--whether it be a book, a BO/SAP knowledge base article, in-class training from a specific company, etc. Thanks!

Hey Markian,
Can you let me know the process you have followed to migrate from Dev to Prod.
We can migrate all the reports and objects and database fields through migrate wizard where you can import all the objects, reports and database fields and users to production enterprise.
Just follow the above scenario and let us know if you are facing any error.
Try publish the reports using import wizard and run it in the crystal designer.

Naveen.

Best method to transport changes from DEV to Prod Environment

Hi SDNers,
I have a requirement here :
I have made some changes to the DEV environment, which i want to move to the production Environment.
Changes mainly include the Structural changes, XSD's, Import maps, Remote systems, Export Maps, Validations etc. Please note that I DO NOT WANT to transport the data from DEV to Prod environment.
I can see 2 options available :
1. Export/Import Repository schema - But as far as i know, the import and export maps will not be transported auomatically through Export/Import Schema.
2. Archive/Unarchiving Without data -
Here are my questions :
1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
Please respond to my queries.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin Jain

Hi Nitin,
If you use Archive/UnArchive option without data then you cannot persists the PROD env since you need to UnArchive the entire repository which is empty and then you need to move the PROD data into this repository.
1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
Ans. I don't think, 2nd option is feasible as a mentioned earlier. This option should be used when we need the entire repository without data which is not the case you are looking for.
2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
Ans. If you are using 2nd option then this question is not related because when you UnArchive, you will get the new repository so this wont affect the existing repository at all.
3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
Ans. Workflows
4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
Ans. If you are using 1st option then you need to unload the PROD repository first and then import the changes. For option 2 its not related.

Jitesh Talreja

Move code from DEV to PROD

Hi,
I need to move my code dev to production.
Please let me know how.
I have seen the posts on exporing scenario and then importing them.
However what about the dependencies like logical schema, models etc???? How do i move them?
Also, what about contexts?
I have a csv to db table scenario, which i need to move.
For DB JNDI can be used, but what about file paths??
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi RoseParab,
We have two way to migrate from Dev to Prod.
First Way:
Using ODI import and export option.
Login to Dev instance,
Goto Topology> File Menu>Export>Export Master Repository in ZIP format
File Menu>Export>Export Logical Schema in ZIP format
In Designer, go to File menu>Export>Export Work Repository in ZIP format
Quit from Dev instance
Login to Production instance
Goto Topology> Import>Import Master Repository in ZIP format (please select INSERT and UPDATE option from dropdown list)
Import>Import Logical Schema in ZIP format (please select INSERT and UPDATE option from dropdown list)
In Designer Import>Import Work Repository in ZIP format (please select INSERT and UPDATE option from dropdown list)
Second Way:
Using Oracle DB Export/Import command (Data pum)
Hope it will helps you
Note: Make sure that you should change Work Repository ID after moving Dev stuff to Production

Easy way to connect to dev vs prod design center?

Hi all,
I have a dev design center and a prod design center. Is there an easy way to set up 2 different shortcuts for easier logging in? That is, I would like a shortcut to connect to prod and a seperate shortcut to connect to dev. Is this possible?
I tried searching the forums for suggestions, but didn't find anything.
Thanks,
Sammi

You will have only one OWB design centre client on your PC, to define whether it is prod,dev or UAT you have locations configured.
The enviroment is controlled from locations and not through different instances, it is something very similar to oracle sqplus or toad
you wont have different instances of sqlplus ot toad for dev and prod, everything is controlled from tnsnames and locations is similar to tnsnames. hope this is clear.

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
26000 NESTED LOOPS
26000 NESTED LOOPS
1 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_PACKAGE' (TABLE)
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 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_BAND' (TABLE)
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0030648' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
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>

Hi,
First check the source system: ZSTGLDV110 is exists or not. check the rfc connections (Also check the source system assignment in both the system to each other). check the settings in the stms tcode. check the suppoet pack on your quality system,.... there are plenty of reasons.
thanks.
