Development and QA environment transactions missing

It appears that there are several transactions missing from a several roles in both environments. Examples of these are FD32 and XD03. For a particular user, I have taken a snapshot of access regarding transactions, (they have these one day and the next they don't)
1. Is there a reason, why this would be happening?
2. How can I audit whether these tranasactions were removed from specific roles and who performed this.And or why these are dissapearing?
Thanks!

Hi Maritza,
You can try with SUIM for changed documents for roles.
You have multiple options like transactions changes in meu etc..
Choose as per your requirement you will get the changed date along with which user ID had made changes.
Transaction codes changes in roles could be due to following
Moving transport request from any other system in land scape
Re-importing old request in QAS.

Development and product environment

Dear all,
I want to setup two databases in seperated server. One for development purpose and another for product environment.
Which good method/tool in oracle can transfer data (like pl/sql,tables,fields) from
development to product environment?
Thanks you

I would strongly suggest cloning the database from Development to Production, using RMAN. You get a proper copy that way - and it isn't hard to do. Howard Rogers has all the answers here: http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/9

Development and Production Requirements for a Forms/Report application

Dear all,
We have an application witch run in client/Server mode using Forms/Reports 6i For 300 users.We want to migrate it on Forms/Reports 9I using Oracle 9IAS and Oracle 9IDB.
I would like to have advises about material requirements of both development and production environment((developer deskop, development appServer and databaseServer, end user desktop,production databaseServer and production AppServer).
Thank u for giving more details about my request.

I have my dev and production on 2 different databases/instances, and the workspaces have a different name aswell (think 'dev' and 'prod').
I do reuse my application ids, which makes the whole process a lot more manageable: easier for me to identify and replacing a whole application.
However, when i want to replace only 1 page, apex stumbles over the workspace. Bummer.
So i took an export of a page on both workspaces, and opened the files.
prompt Set Credentials...
begin
-- Assumes you are running the script connected to SQL*Plus as the Oracle user APEX_040100 or as the owner (parsing schema) of the application.
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
end;
wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
I took both workspace IDs and keep them in a simple txt in my installation-files folder. Each time i need to import a page from dev->prod i go in the exported file from dev and change the workspace id to the id of my production workspace id. Everything works magically after that.
If your application ids also differ, you can try changing the id in the exported file aswell, but i can't tell if it works or not since i've not done that yet.
prompt Set Application ID...
begin
   -- SET APPLICATION ID
   wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);
   wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
null;
end;where of course you'd change around nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);

MSDN and Production Environment (again)

I started this on another forum before I found this one, but this seems a more suitable place.
The definition of "production environment" seems rather odd. In some responses on this forum it appears to refer to "soft" systems whereas the latest MSDN licence refers to environment and physical kit.
Below is a conversation I had over email with someone from MSDN and I find the whole thing utterly bizarre. I cannot for the life of me see how this helps anyone apart from MS being able to charge for non-production software. It renders having a powerful desktop
for local lab experimentation pointless as you're not allowed to install anything and effectively doubles the hardware cost to small companies if they have to buy a separate server for any testing work (yes, best practice and all that, but budgets...) or pay
out for a Windows Datacenter licence.
Question:
“If a physical machine running one or more virtual machines is used entirely for development and test, then the operating system used on the physical host system can be MSDN software. However, if the physical machine or any of the VMs hosted on that physical
system are used for other purposes, then both the operating system within the VM and the operating system for the physical host must be licensed separately.”
Is this actually saying that if I have a physical server licenced with a purchased (not MSDN) Server 2012 R2, running Hyper-V with, say, a production file server VM on it, that ALL Windows VMs on that machine must have purchased licences even if they
are only for development & testing purposes?
Is this saying that all production and development Windows VMs must be only completely separate hardware, cluster, SAN, etc otherwise you must pay for full licences for the VMs?
Or does it just mean that the bare metal licence (plus any additional ones required for running further production VMs) must be purchased if the VMs are a mix of production and development?
Answer:
We kindly inform that any products licensed under the developer tools model (e.g. SQL/BizTalk developer and/or MSDN) must be installed on their own separate physical hardware.
You are not allowed to run test or development products on a server where production workloads are running at the same time. Kindly run your developer software on a device/host that is dedicated to testing and development.
Explanation:
The Product Use Rights (PUR) say that the developer software is not licensed for use in a production environment. Even if the PUR does not have a separate definition of production environment, a production environment is a set of resources for network, physically
dedicated hardware and software to provide "live" service. If the intent was to say that the same physical server could be used for both development and production - it would say "not licensed for use in a production OSE," instead
it says environment.
See current PUR, page 51:
Developer Tools (User License)
You have the rights below for each license you acquire.
# You must assign each license to a single user.
# Each Licensed User may run an unlimited number of copies of the Developer Tools software and any prior version on any device.
# The Licensed User may use the software for evaluation and to design, develop, test, and demonstrate your programs. These rights include the use of the software to simulate an end user environment to diagnose issues related to your programs.
# The software is not licensed for use in a production environment. # Additional rights provided in license terms included with the software are additive to these product use rights, provided that there is no conflict
with these product use rights, except for superseding use terms outlined below.
Question:
Classifying an entire physical infrastructure as "production" in these days of virtualisation and shared storage really does not make any sense at all. Not using the software for production purposes makes perfect sense, but not being able to locate
it alongside production OS installs is mad. Does this only apply to the server running the VM (CPU and RAM)? If the VHDX is hosted on shared SAN storage does the SAN have to be dedicated to non-production storage?
Answer:
We kindly inform that after double-checking the case we would like to confirm the development software cannot be run on the same hardware with production software.
We have also received a feedback from the responsible team regarding your request about a dedicated SAN (Storage Area Network) for MSDN software.
They have confirmed that the SAN has to be dedicated to the development and testing environment if it is used to run the software acquired through MSDN.
Question:
OK, so if I have my desktop (which is a production environment as I use it for email and other day to day office tasks), can I turn on Hyper-V and install an MSDN Windows Server 2012 instance for development purposes?
Answer:
We kindly inform it is not allowed to install and run software from MSDN subscriptions in production environments. Please do not install MSDN software on a desktop in a production environment:
"[.] The customer will need to run the developer software on a device/host that is dedicated to testing and development.

Hi Mike,
It sucks that MSDN software can't be run in a production environment, that means you have to have two entirely separate hardware environments, which are costly, and it seems unnecessary.
That's essentially it. I'm not saying for one second that it should be used for production purposes, just that it's physical location shouldn't be relevant. Also, the word "environment" is a very bad choice in the documentation simply because it's very open
to interpretation.
A production environment is defined as an environment that is accessed by end users of an application (such as an Internet Web site) and that is used for more than
Acceptance Testing of that application
or Feedback. Some scenarios that constitute production
environments include:
Environments that connect to a production database.
Environments that support disaster-recovery or backup for a production environment.
Environments that are used for production at least some of the time, such a server that is rotated into production during peak periods of activity.
So I dont think (here's that inconclusive language) but am not sure that your desktop machines count as production environments, based on that, unless end users are connecting to them. (I dearly hope they are not!)
My reading is based on the "Other Guidance" section:
"If a physical machine running one or more virtual machines is used entirely for development and test, then the operating system used on the physical host system can be MSDN software. However, if the physical machine or any of the VMs
hosted on that physical system are used for other purposes, then both the operating system within the VM and the operating system for the physical host must be licensed separately."
<o:p>This is the crux of the matter and the interpretation of "licensed separately". A (to my mind) sensible reading of that would be "if you're running any production purpose VMs on a server then the physical host OS must be a full licence
[presuming it's Server 2012 and not, say, VMWare or Hyper-V 2012] as must all production purpose VMs on that server". This has been getting interpreted by others (I'm not the first) and backed up by MS as meaning that if you want to run any dev/test VMs on
a server that also runs production VMs then you can't use MSDN for those dev/test VMs.</o:p>
Also, there is a section
here, on the MSDN Licensing help page that says (with my added emphasis):
Many
MSDN subscribers use a computer for mixed use—both design, development, testing, and demonstration of your programs (the use allowed under the MSDN subscription license) and some other use. Using the software in any other way, such as for doing email,
playing games, or editing a document is another use and is not covered by the MSDN subscription license.
When this happens, the underlying operating system must also be licensed normally by purchasing a regular copy of Windows such as the one that came with a new OEM PC.
Now to me, it seems this might be saying that the underlying operating system on a work
machine cannot be licensed using MSDN if that work machine is going to be doing non-msdn things in addition to MSDN things. It doesn't say "This can't happen" it just says "When this happens, the underlying
OS must be licensed normally..."
So, based on what I'm reading it seems that this quote from you might not be true:
"We can't install a local MSDN instance of Server 2012 or 8.1 for dev and test under Hyper-V on desktops
because desktops used for email, writing documents, etc are production. "
I wouldn't have expected this to be true either, but this is the response I was given. It may well be
that my question was misunderstood. I hope this is the case otherwise one of the big reasons for turning on Hyper-V on expensive, powerful desktops enabling the running of personal test environments goes out the window!
Thanks for your time on this.

Crystal Develop and Production Guidelines in SQL Server (Crystal 9)

We have development and production environment on 2 different machines.
It seems when we want to migrate a report from dev to prod, we need to reset the DSN or connection and crystal then forces us to respecify all field names in a report.
It is a big pain. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks
Ken Light
DBA Interior Health

Hi
When you migrate a report, you need to
- Create a DSN with same name on Production as it was on Test.
- Do a set Datasource location.
- Verify database to ensure all changes made in the database are reflected.
- If you have used stored procedure with parameter in your report, then uncheck the above option and then refresh the report.
Hope this helps!!!

OWB propagation from development to production environment

Our department is in need to implement overall security around our production data warehouse.
One issue that seems to bother our management is having only one OWB Designer where developers would have to be responsible enough to use snapshots and export mappings to mdl files. Management would like to have development and production OWB Designer Repository where production designer would always be in sync with what is deployed in prd database. Also prd OWB Designer Repository would be like a source safe so we have to always get a mapping from prd designer move it dev designer and when done propagate changes back to prd designer and then deploy to prd database.
Would this be a good approach?
Any input on how to handle propagation from development to production environment, and if you are aware of "best practices" when it comes to OWB environment is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Vlasta

Hi,
Copy whole catalog and rpd from dev to prob.
If you want to copy specific report go to OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales\root\shared\sample+sales(group folder name)
You can copy reports under folders and dashboards in _portal in Sample sales group folder...both file and .atr file.But you may miss security applied on those dashboards.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/04/28/migration-obiee-projects-between-dev-and-prod-environments/
Best practice is to copy whole catalog and rpd (or) Copy shared and system folders and their .atr files from OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales\root so that you will not miss security and you will not over ride users folders which may contain some data created by them.
Thanks,
Srikanth

How to migrate reports from Development QA Production environment

Hello,
we have 3 Oracle Discoverer 10.1.2.3 environments and I would like to know what is the correct way to migrate reports from DEV to QA and to PROD.
I'm researching about this by a couple of days and didn't find anything handy.
The most likely way that I found was to export the entire EUL from one environment to another with the eulapi with a command line like that:
exporting:
eulapi -connect DEVUSER/pass@orcl -eul DEVUSER -export exp_all.eex -all
importing using [ -import_rename_mode refresh ]:
eulapi -connect QA_USER/pass@orcl -eul QA_USER -import exp_all.eex -identifier -import_rename_mode refresh -log imp.log
That would work.
However if the developer delete some object from the DEV environment and then import in the QA environment the deleted object won't be deleted from the QA environment and after some time the QA and PROD environment would be a mess.
Another way that I figured out was to drop the eul from the PROD environment and then import all over. That would solve the problem but It has a lot of risks.
Thanks in Advance,
Jonas Zanon

Hi,
I think the best approach is to export the EUL components (e.g. business areas, folders, hierarchies, workbooks etc) separately from your development environment and hold these in a change management system. You can then import the components into test and prod and know which version of each component you have.
Often when you make a change you will have to export/import several components. For example, if you add a folder you will need to export the folder, any business areas that hold the folder and if the folder is joined to any detail folders then these as well.
We don't have scripts to delete components from production. Very rarely do you need to delete anything from production and generally it is not a good idea because reports will stop working because the references in the reports are missing.

Development and marketing of SAP EP solutions - any licenses required?

Hi
Not sure which forum to post this in, so - maybe Coffee Corner is a good start
My question is about the licensing required to development and marketing small add-ons / extensions for SAP Enterprise Portal.
Is it possible for the individual developer to develop and market small add-ons for EP in Java WDP, making use of a trail EP installation?
Do you need a special license for this (to develop commercial products)?
Maybe like a [SAP NetWeaver Developer Subscription|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/development?refer=subscriptionslandingpage], or the [SAP Composition Subscription|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/composition?refer=subscriptionslandingpage]?
Reading up on the [Subscriptions FAQ|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/software-faq#q-4-5], and it is not very clear:
Can I use my developed add-ons, extensions, developments, or modifications in a production environment?
In order to run your add-ons, extensions, developments, or modifications in a production environment, you need to purchase the applicable license from SAP. SAP customers or partners who already have an applicable license can use SAP NetWeaver in a production environment.
So-
"SAP customers or partners who already have an applicable license can use SAP NetWeaver in a production environment"
I'm not expecting to run the SAP NetWeaver Developer/Trail version you get with the subscription in a production environment - the question is would any prospective buyers of your developed add-ons be able to run these in their (fully licensed) NetWeaver / EP production environments?
(I feel this FAQ is not answering its own question correctly).
Purchasing a full EP license is a little out of my budget, and even the two developer subscriptions mentioned above are only available in Germany & the USA (and I reside in neither of which).
Any suggestions from the guys & girls of the Coffee Corner?
Thanks!

I am not a lawyer, but my interpretation of this is that the subscription systems are for "sneak previews" of releases and experimenting with the software to see whether you like it or not...
So this means that if you do development work on it and want to use it in a production environment, you will need a full license to run the software productively first, and then add your development to that licensed landscape.
This is a different topic to licensing your own development. For this you would need to become a solution partner and request your own namsepace in SAP, and then license it as optional software via service.sap.com.
For the "little individual" like you and me, this is not really an option IMO.
In some special cases, I have seen external coding included in the standard system, and you get a special mention for it sometimes in the coding comments.
I was thinking about the same as well because I am busy experimenting with a tool for making dual maintenance of roles during upgrades easier and know a few customers who would be interested in such a tool (possibly controlled centrally by a SolMan CTS+ with after import rule sets).
Being ABAP, I think I could try to sell it once or maybe twice... but after that I expect it would be "in the wild" and see others posting it here on SDN as well...
On the otherhand, ABAP is more of a hobby for me and I am not a guru at it like many others here. If I were to post it here myself... then I could benefit from other contributions to improving it and making it more robust - like an open source project.
Just some thoughts,
Julius

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.

SQL Developer and Blocking View of Other Users' Objects

I am using SQL Developer in a classroom environment. My student users can “see” Other Users objects. They cannot modify, but none the less can see the structure and data.
I only want the users to be able to see their own objects. Is there a privilege that needs to be revoked? (In using SQL Plus command line, this was not a problem.)
Thanks.
-Karen

Karen,
From sysdba account (sys/system). Run following and verify for that particular user grant is revoked. May be exit from sql developer and log back in or refresh view.
YOu can also potenially revoke all the privs from all non admin uses i.e.r even connect/resource roles and grant them back.
revoke select any table from yourschemaname;
revoke connect from schemaname;
revoke create session from schemaname;
revoke resource from schemaname;
Then just grant privs as need basis
grant connect to schemanme;
grant resource to schemaname;
grant create session to schemaname;
..Regards

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.

Two phase commit and bean managed transactions

To all the Transaction GURUS!
          Hi guys (-and gals).
          I've been doing J2EE for quite a while, but today was my first at
          XA-Transactions and Bean Managed Transactions.
          Why am I doing this?
          ====================
          Well I have to be able to controll the transactionalbehaviour of my
          bean
          during runtime, since some bean calls would cause a transactional
          overflow due to the stress they would cause to the system, whereas
          smaller bean calls need to run in one transaction.
          -> Therefore I need Bean Managed Transactions
          Since the bean does a call on two Database Connections it has to use a
          XA-Transaction.
          -> Therefore I need XA-Transactions.
          Abstract
          ========
          - I just can't get a User TransAction into the right Status it stays
          in 'STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION' all the time
          - Therefore the SQL Commands can be comitted 'java.sql.SQLException:
          Does not support SQL execution with no global transaction'
          - Therefore I can't do a rollback 'java.lang.IllegalStateException:
          Transaction does not exist'
          - Therefore I wrote this mail.
          I don't want to be a smart-"ass" writing such a detailed and indepth
          mail. I just would like to show that I tried, and would like to have
          some replies from you guys.
          Below are my configurations, code and logfiles.
          Thanx for taking your time and hope that the other people may learn
          something as well.

          CONCLUSION
          ==========
          I'm going nuts.
          I just don't get it.
          The transaction is the same. I don't change the Connection. I start
          the Transaction at the beginning before I do anything!
          Please guys help me out.
          Thx alot.

Hi Priscilla
          (did you ever see the movie ? :-))
          Well I moved away from the idea of using bean managed transaction. I'll
          be using Container Managed Transactions. To modify the
          transactionalbehaviour I'll write proxymethods which have certain
          different containermanaged transaction properties, but which all call
          the same private methods.
          But it works! Here is my experience:
          - I was doing a DDL statement: I was trying to create new Tables, which
          is a definite "no-go"
          - pay careful attention to:
          http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs60/jta/trxejb.html#1051405
                    and
          http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs60/jta/trxejb.html#1051741
          and use these Settings for the Pool, don't ask me why, but it took me
          hours to find it out by myself:
               <JDBCConnectionPool CapacityIncrement="5"
          DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource" InitialCapacity="1"
          LoginDelaySeconds="1" MaxCapacity="2" Name="oracleSecurityPool"
          Properties="user=xxx; password=xxx; server=xxx.xxx.xxx"
          RefreshMinutes="5" Targets="fbsserver" TestConnectionsOnRelease="true"
          TestTableName="Users" SupportsLocalTransaction="true"/>
          where as the server (shown as: xxx.xxx.xxx) is the TNS Name of the
          Oracle Driver.
          It works great.
          Another thing you guys might want to do is write a simple StatelessSB
          which does JDBC calls and two different database Connections.
          Then write a UnitTest which calls this bean a couple hundred times (with
          the same transaction). Have one test do clean writes, and another which
          causes some SQL-Exception (too long Data Columns, or likewise).
          Always count the entries and see if everything worked out. We're using
          this SetupConstruction to test new combinations of AS(sorry Priscilla) /
          Database / Db-Drivers to have a "standard test".
          I know my two cents were uncalled for, but it might save you some
          time.....
          thanx for your help
          Stefan

          Hi Stefan,
          Looks like you have not actually begun a transaction by calling
          UserTransaction.begin(),
          so your setupTables method is really executing with no transaction
          context.

Install Oracle XE, SQL Developer, and Toad on the same machine?

I have been trying to install Oracle SQL Developer, Toad, and Oracle Express on my work computer. Installing SQL Developer and Toad was pretty straightforward, and I was able to browse the XE database with SQL Developer. But after installing Toad, problems started. Toad was using Oracle XE's registry settings to locate ORACLE_HOME and oci.dll. So I tried changing the settings for Oracle XE in the registry. Toad now works, but not Oracle XE. And while I was going through this all, I even had a time when I had Toad and oracle xe working, but not SQL Developer. It almost looks like you can choose two of the products, but not all three.
So, my question to the community at large is "Can it be done?". In what directories do you have each product installed? What environment variables do you have set? Where is your tnsnames.ora? What Oracle registry settings do you have set (namely HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE)?
I can post my current settings, but I've been through so many iterations that these current settings don't really matter that much.
Here are the details I am looking for
Path to sqldeveloper.exe
Path to oracle.exe (for Oracle XE)
Environment Variables
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE
TNS_ADMIN
PATH (just the oracle stuff)
Registry Settings
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_BASE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\TNS_ADMIN
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\OLEDB
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORAMTS_CP_TRACE_DIR

I don't use toad, but there should be no reason why you can't install all 3. SQL Developer is a very clean install and affects nothing else. It doesn't add to the path, or create any registry entries except for file associations.
A toad installation should pick up your oracle client (in this case the XE code). I am curious as to why you felt you had to change registry settings. What problem were you trying to fix?
My recommendation would be to uninstall everything, clean the registry and reinstall in the order XE, Toad, SQL Developer. Test in between installations and seek help for problems as you find them. Bear in mind that this is the forum for SQL Developer. QUestions about Oracle XE would be better answered in the dedicated forum, or in the Installation forum, and questions about Toad in a toad forum.
