Export-Import and Naming convention question

All,
Newbie here. Have a question related to the naming convention for SAP R/3 system and XI manual export/import process. We are currently in the development environment where our R/3 systems are named as D55CLNT400, D56CLNT300 etc (first 3 characters are the system id, and last 3 are the client number.) This is per the XI best practices convention.
The question i have is - if we name the technical system as above - and export the configuration objects from the Dev to Test environment - where the R/3 systems are named as T55CLNT400, T56CLNT300 (similar naming structure). Does it mean that we need to manually change almost all of the items in the Test environment on the configuration side (like business sytem name, interface determination, receiver determination etc)
Is this the correct way or are we missing something??? I would have preferred a way - where we needed to only update the communication channel parameters.
Thanks.

In the SLD, create three Business System Groups: DEV, QAS and PRD.
In each of these groups, you must have the relevant application servers (in your case, R/3s) and one integration server (XI).
Then, for each Business System in Group DEV, define a transport target in QAS group.
In your case, the transport landscape should be like this:
D55CLNT400 -> T55CLNT400
D56CLNT300 -> T56CLNT300
XI_DEV -> XI_QAS
Do the same for the QAS group (defining transport targets in PRD group). Observe that you need to have the same number of Business Systems in each group for this to work properly.
Now, when you transport your configuration objects from XI_DEV to XI_QAS, all the Business Systems in DEV landscape will be replaced for the equivalent ones in QAS landscape.

Doubt in export, import and table para when creating Function Module

Dear fellow ABAPers,
I have a doubt in defining export, import and table parameter while creating a function module.
I am calling a function module inside a user exit. Now in the user exit the SAP fills an internal table called i_lfa1 with all the data user has eneterd.
Now I want to pass this whole internal table to function module and the perform some checks on the values of internal table.
After that function module fills an error structure with values depending on some check.
1)
How do I pass this internal table to function module ?
When I am creating function module in se37 where do I define this iternal table type ? Is it in Import or Table parameter during function module creation?
2)
Where do I define error structure type (which is returned by function module to main program)? Is it in Export or table parameter during function module creation?
Please clear my doubt..
Relevant points will be awarded.
Regards,
Tushar.

Hi Tushar,
1. How do I pass this internal table to function module ?
   I assume u are creating your own Y/Z FM.
   Pass it thru TABLES parameter.
2. When I am creating function module in se37 where do I define this iternal table type
   Define this in TABLES interface.
   What Type ?
   THE SAME TYPE WHICH HAS BEEN DEFINED
    WHILE PASSING IN THE USER-EXIT FUNCTION MODULE.
   IF U SEE THE FM OF THE USER-EXIT,
   U WILL COME TO KNOW.
3.
Where do I define error structure type (which is returned by function module to main program)? Is it in Export or table parameter during function module creation?
Define it in TABLES interace. (not in export, import)
(Since what u are going to return is an internal table)
U can take for eg. BDCMSGCOLL.
OR u can create your own Y/Z structure
for the same purpose.
(or u can use the structure type T100)
I hope it helps.

Difference between client Export/Import and a system refresh

Hi Experts,
I would like to know the diffrence between client Export/Import and System refresh.
Actually i have done client export from our production system and imported it into our quality system, I have asked our functional consultants whether the production data is now available in Quality. They replied me saying whole data of production system is available in Quality system as off date i have copied the export.
The size of the export was around 8GB, How can this have all the data of Production system which is around 600 GB.
In this way what is the use of System refresh which is done by database level ( changing the cntrl file etc... ), As i am getting all the data by doing Client Export/Import.
Thanks & Regards,
Injamuri

Hi,
What is system refresh when and why it is done?
The system refersh is nothing but the deletion of the client and replacing the data from other client. For example : you have clients 100, 200 and 300. Suppose when you want to refresh the client 100 you remove the client 100 and replace it with 200 0r 300 as per your reqiurement.
Mostly the refresh of clients will be happen at the time of development stage.
System Refresh is a simplified term to Client Copy. Client Copy means copying the production client on to the quality to test the real data. As recommend by SAP this need to carried out every 3 months.
The process to carry out the same is as follows:
1. Create a client on quality system using txn scc4
2. Create a RFC between Production system and Quality System (need to create on quality system)
3. Login to the newly created client using sap* and pass as a password
4. Txn sccl to start the client copy.
You can test the client copy by selecting the test run option. (test run will estimate the time taken for the activity).

Export/Import and Client Copy

Hi All,
Could you please help me with what are the major differences between Export/Import...client copy...and a System Refresh.How they differ from each other.
Regards
Rajesh

Hello Rajesh ,
I have capture some data from SAP Help :
Local Copy: Copying Clients Within a System:
You can improve the performance of the client copy by, for example, by excluding tables or packages, with Edit -> Expert Settings.
You can exclude tables from the client copy, for example if they are not relevant for the target client, in the Tables tab
Copying Clients Between Systems (Remote Copy):
The same product is installed, with the same release, in both systems
The client copier can copy a client into another system. The systems can be on different platforms. You can change the client number.
When you copy a client from one system to another, the data is transferred directly via the RFC interface - there is no intermediate storage on hard disk.
Transporting Clients Between Systems ;Client export (SCC8):
The client copier can copy a client into another system, which can be on a different platform. You can change the client number.
You are no longer required to transport clients before you can copy them between systems. You can make a remote copy instead.
Up to three transport requests are created, depending on the selected copy profile and the existing data.
The transport request for texts is e.g. only created if the source client contains customer texts.
<sid>KO<no> cross-client data
<sid>KT<no> client-specific data
<sid>KX<no> texts and forms
The data export is performed automatically asynchronously. The output of the export includes the names of the transport requests that are to be imported.
Import transport requests into the target client (STMS)
Choose one of the transport requests of the client transport in the Transport Management System (TMS). The other transport requests belonging to this client transport are then automatically added in the correct order.
Import these transport requests into the target client.
client import postprocessing (SCC7)
You need to perform postprocessing activities to adapt the runtime environment to the current state of the data.
Copy by Transport Request :
This function transports customizing changes that have been recorded in a transport request between two clients in a system.
You can choose whether you only copy the object list of the request or also the object lists of unreleased tasks in the request.
Entries in the target client are overwritten or deleted according to the key entries in the transport request.
Choose Administration -> System administration -> Administration -> Client admin. ->Special Functions -> Copy Transport Request.

Oracle export/import and indexing

Hello All,
I am a newbie in oracle filed and trying to understand export/import funtionality and indexing related to it. May be it's silly but I don't get any other way to understand it.
Below are the topics I tried to understand-
1) I export one Db and trying to import that in another database server. I used sysdba username to import. A new table space will get created or how the data will store in database what would be the effect in indexing with this export and import.
2) If i import one more db on the same database server using sysdba username then also how indexing will behave?
Please help me to understand
Thanks
Sayan
Edited by: Sayan_Roy on Sep 26, 2011 11:41 PM

Indexes are tied to tables. The default behaviour, in the absence of you specifying any directives, is that Oracle runs
CREATE TABLE
INSERT INTO table
CREATE INDEX
So, the Indexes are created after each of the corresponding tables.
Do NOT ever attempt to export/import objects owned by SYSDBA. You should be creating a separate schema to hold all your objects (Tables, Indexes, Views, Procedures, Functions etc). That separate schema can be exported and imported into another database. If you have multiple such schemas, a Full Export Import will copy all the schemas.
If a schema preexists in the target database, the import will error when attempting to CREATE TABLE --- unless you specify directives to handle this.
Please read the documentation on Export and Import for the version that you are testing.

ASD Export/Import and the Anti-Marshal (kind of like a supervillain)

Just tried to export a single resource action and import it back into the same environment with a new "prefix" and I get the following errors on validation.... same goes for importing it into another environment. (which we will call "new environment"... where the Resource Action doesn't exist) The workflow that the RA points to exists in the current environment because there is an RA that already points to that workflow. In the new environment, the workflow exists due to a successful vRO sync. (we can then build a successful form against the workflow in the new environment.)
It seems like it is complaining about the Resource Type, but none of those were selected for export.. so one would expect that they wouldn't be imported.
Anybody try out the export/import functionality in ASD and have it be successful?
When we build a form in our Lab environment, we have to completely rebuild it in two other environments. Though building forms in ASD is exceedingly fun and intuitive, we would really like to have a working export/import capability!

It throws same error for exporting/importing ASD blueprints( Nothing else was selected to export like actions etc). In this case ASD blueprint exists in the destination. Sean, did you make any progress?

Need Help with FCP7 import and plug in question.

Hello,
I just registered and would like to ask two questions. Everything else I'll use the search function for but I need the answer right away.
Ok First question. I have a mac pro at home and a intel macbook both with FCS4 during the holiday season I'd like to work on a project on my laptop. Now I have all my files on a 2.0 USB drive(I know its not that fast for video) but this is only temp. while traveling. I'm trying to figure out why it wont import the files into another project. Even when I'm at my home Mac Pro when I try to import a projects footage into another project it doesn't read it. This comes up
"File Error: 0 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied 254 unknown"
But all the files will work in the project that it was originally captured too.
If this helps the codec is sonys HDV 1080 60i converted to Apple ProRes 422(HQ) which I found out I should only use the regular Apple ProRes 422. I'm stuck now b/c I cannot import the files into a new project to work in on my laptop. Plus my Macbook doesn't have Firewire800 so I have no way to get the footage from tape to my laptop other then my USB Hard Drive.
I also have problem importing the files in Motion and Cinema Tools they also are not recognizing the files which is getting me upset since they are FCP7 generated files after I convert them to ProRes.
Whenever I try to import/use the files in anything other the original project they are grey'ed out.
I'm also confused on how to import effects plug-ins I've downloaded effects from apple only to have now directions to import them into the program.
Sorry for the Noob questions I'm a film student learning FCP7 by myself so I have the upper hand come next semester. Thanks in advance.

Can't tell for sure but it sounds as if the drive is not properly formatted, or you do not have correct read/write permissions for it. There is no way you can use this drive with HQ video. You're going to get into problem if you even try.

Personas - Export / Import and missing icons

Morning all.
Have many of you used the import / export feature to move flavours between clients? I have used it successfully in the past but the now have an issue.
I have 4 flavours and a bunch of media files, many of which are shared amongst the flavours. When I export them the export is missing quite a few of the media files.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
thanks,
Neil

further testing has revealed that it's files of type 'icon' only that don't get exported, the 'pic' file types export fine.
Can anyone confirm the behaviour on their system please?

Export resolution and camera resolution question

I am thinking of buying a new camera- specifically one that will film video in widescreen as well as widescreen photo's. I have been looking at some that have a maximum video resolution of 848x480, which will come out fine.
With iMovie, so far I have been using my wife's Casio camera which records video at 640x480 (4:3 ratio), and I have been cropping the video in iMovie and exporting as 640x360 widescreen. The next resolution up from 640x360 in iMovies export settings is 960x540.
My question is, if my new camera has a video res of 848x480, when I export that in iMovie, will it have to be down-scaled to 640x360, or will there be an option to export at the same resolution (I don't think it will let me upscale it to 960x540)?
Thanks.

Export, Import and Table declaration in custom function module

I am creating a custom function module. Parameters needed are export internal table and one data field from the internal table.
What do i need to fill for 'associated type' for these export parameters since size of the internal table and type for the data field from the internal table vary.

Hello Albert
If the function module need not be RFC-enabled then you have many ways to define such dynamic parameters, e.g.:
FUNCTION ZUS_SDN_DYNAMIC_PARAMS.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(ET_ITAB) TYPE TABLE
*"     REFERENCE(ET_ITAB_1) TYPE ANY
*"     REFERENCE(ET_ITAB_2)
*"     REFERENCE(ED_DATA) TYPE CLIKE
*"     REFERENCE(ED_DATA_1) TYPE ANY
*"     REFERENCE(ED_DATA_2)
ENDFUNCTION.

Importing and naming non-commercial custom back-up tracks

I am a singer and new IPOD user ... trying to import my own (home recorded) backing tracks ... all the names of the songs are replaced by and appear as track 01 track 02 etc. How can I retain the names when importing? Thanks in advance for help !

Rell Im not sure if you previously tagged the tracks with titles or not previously, but regardless, it seems like iTunes isn't reading them.
If your music is on a CD, and it's showing only "Track 1, Track 2" etc, youll need to do a small process.
1.) Import all of your music into iTunes. (without the titles)
2.) After thats done, go into iTunes, go on each song, right click, and select "Get Info". From there, go track by track and enter all of the information you like for each track.
3.) Once thats done, make a new playlist with your now titled music, and burn it onto a CD. make sure you check the box that says "Show CD Text" or something like that.
Once those 3 steps are done youll now have a copy of music that is titled on your computer, and a copy of music that is titled on your CD, which will be read properly when put into another computer with iTunes, and maybe other programs...but no guarantees on the other programs.
I also make my own music, and whenever I have the final audio file on my computer, I load it into iTunes like any other song first, and then tag it, and then use that as my master copy.

Changing iTunes imported CD naming convention

Currently, when I import a CD using iTunes, it saves it to my custom library as:
"library location\artist\album\track name"
Is there a way to make iTunes import a CD as the following?
"library location\album\track name"
For example, instead of:
C:\Music\Nine Inch Nails\With Teeth
iTunes imports the CD as:
C:\Music\With Teeth

There are different options available.
1. Set part of compilation setting to 'yes'
2. Fill in 'album artist' tag with a value. In this case Timbaland
3. Edit artist tags to remove other artist information.
If iTunes is set to organize library then this can be done before or after importing CD. If do any of these after importing then iTunes will rearrange files atomatically based on tag information.
Album artist tag information overrides artist tag information and stores files based on album artist. Compilation option stores album in compilation folder then folder for album.

Coding standards and naming convention

Hi,
Can anyone please provide any documentation available for BPM development.
Would really appreciate for any pointers.
