Exporting data from Production to Development in a R/3 System

Good Morning,
I have a landscape where i have a Productive and a Development system (SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 SR1 1.10 with MaxDB 7.5 running on a HP-UX 11.23) and i was asked to copy the data and customizing (not user master data) from Production to Development. Both systems have 7 clients (6 for each country and one for Human Resources) and i need to copy the productive data to the development data (the Productive data can overwrite the Development data).
This is my first time doing this, and since i have a short deadline to do it, i need all the help i can get...
I'm not sure if i should use SCC8 or SCC9 in order to create a transport request for each client copy.
I've checked the OS space in sapdata and transport directories, i've also checked the database space and i need to change MAXDATAVOLUMES size and also create more volumes.
Now that i've done that, i need to know what to do next... Does anyone knows where i can find a procedure or documentation on this? Some kind of step by step guide?
About the Export Profiles, which default profile should i choose in order to copy
All client specific data, customizing AND NOT user master data?
Can i do any kind of test run before the export in order to understand the space i'm going to need in transport directory for example?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pedro Gaspar

Hello Pedro,
1. In SCC8 the SAP_APPL profile isn't available, so i guess i need to use SAP_ALL and change the user master data accordingly afterwards right?
In that case, you should/can 'Export' the user master of the target system before the Client copy, so that you can re-import the same user master in the target system after sap_all copy from source.
2. I also have several project teams developing in ABAP in my development system. If i export the productive client, will the ABAP code be overwritten (scripts, smartforms, etc...)? I ask this, because right now there are several programs with different versions in both systems (the landscape consists of only a DEV and PRD system NO quality). If the ABAP code in development will be overwritten, i need to tell the development teams to comment all the changes, then create transports to production to make the program versions the same, and then save the data an cofiles to import them again in development after the import. Will also RFC definitions change? Jobs will also be copied? What's the difference between this and a Homogeneous System Copy using backup/restore?
This is the reason that normally the 'Production to Development' copy is not recommended. I would wait if our other techies here can help/advise us for this.
A simple difference between a client copy and system copy is that the client copy is just 'client dependent' change and system copy is 'system wide' change - erasing everything on the target and just overwriting/duplicating the 'complete source' onto the target.
Thanks

Exporting Data from one Server to Another server w/ Version Enabled Tables

Hi,
I'm currently having a problem with regards to Exporting data to another server. This is the Scenario:
Source Server is Production Server with all of its Tables in the Schema are Version-Enabled.
Destination Server is a Test Server.
I exported data from Production Server using EXP command. Then in my Test Server I imported my data using IMP command (I already created tablespace and user for the Schema).
Import is successful in my Test server but when I execute my queries, There are no rows returned.
I checked my _LT tables and it contains my data. but when I query from the View created when version was enabled, no result is returned.
Am I missing something when I exported and imported my Schema? Should I have included the WMSYS schema when I created the .dump file?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stefan,
we tried using Export and Import using Data Pump.
expdp system/password@orcl full=y directory=dmpdir2 dumpfile=FULL_DB.dmp
impdp system/password@orcl full=y table_exists_action=truncate directory=dmpdir2 dumpfile=FULL_DB.dmp
Still the same result as using exp and imp. _LT tables have data but when you query using the View, no results are found.

Export Master Data from Production to DEV

Hi Gurus,
I need to export All the Master Data and Configuration files from Production to Development System. If anyone can Advise me to know the step by step for exporting and importing. Our PRD server is on HP-UX/Oracle and ECC6.
Eg Master Data like Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master...Etc.,
Please Advice.

Hi,
I need to export All the Master Data and Configuration files from Production to Development System.
I think you can have a option to do simple Remote Client copy with SAP_CUST or SAP_APPL client copy profile from your PRD system to DEV system.
You can create a New Client in DEV system by performing Remote Client Copy as mentioned above from PRD system to ease the activity.
You can get all the information in below mentioned Web Links.

Full export of the CMS from Production to Development

Hello All,
We have to export the reports and universes from Production to Development. In short we need to sync the Development CMS repository with Production CMS repository.
What is the best way to do this. Is Import Wizard the only way to export the contents to Development?
Because when I exported one report from Dev to Prod , we had to go and reset the scheduling properties again in Production. It did not maintain the properties which it was set to before. Is there a way to maintain the scheduling properties the way it was set to before. Or every time when we export a modified report to Production, we need to go and set properties back?
We are using BO 3.1 version.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi NR,
You will see both Development & Productions services when you go to the "Servers" in CMC once the development is up.
For example,
dev.pageserver
dev.reportjobserver
dev.cacheserver
prod.pageserver
prod.reportjobserver
prod.cacheserver
this happens b'cos of using the production schema for development. It will have a copy of the production services, so you need to delete the services once the CMC is up and running.

Export data from database table before database migration

Hello,
We are planning to migrate our SAP ERP 6 Ehp4/NW7.01 from Oracle 11.2 to IBM DB2 v. 9.7 database. During test migrations I have established that we spend a lot of time for one particular table (COEP). Because we donu2019t have possibility to archive this table before migration I have an idea to export data from previous years from this table to the file system (using an ABAP report), delete those data from table before migration and then after migration, import back to the database from the file system.
Does anybody have any concerns or suggestions about this idea?
Thank you for your answers
Andrej

Hello Andrej,
I strongly do not recommend to do so.
I am not sure whether technically this could work at all..
Even it if would work .. In order to really save time, the export and the import would have to be a dirty one (meaning the system is operational and in production). With this there is a high risk to produce inconsistencies on this table. And you most likely will receive no support if something unforeseen happens and you end with problems.
Also your approach (if it should work at all) , would have to be tested thoroughly by you , also protecting the table from any changes.
I do not believe that this can save any effort compared to implementing advanced migration techniques like table splitting.
On top, you would go high risk to end with an unsupported system, with not using official migration procedures

Issue to export data from sql to excel

I have MS SQL 2008 Developer version and visual studio 2008. I'm using SSIS Import and Export Wizard on the VS2008 to create a simple package to export data from a table using a sql query to excel file (.xlsx), but I got the following
error messages:
[Destination - Query [37]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[Destination - Query [37]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - Query" (37) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
The SQL query is
SELECT [BusinessEntityID]
      ,[PersonType]
      ,[NameStyle]
      ,[Title]
      ,[FirstName]
      ,[MiddleName]
      ,[LastName]
FROM [AdventureWorks2008].[Person].[Person]
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Or another way is to save the package created by Export Import wizard, open it in BIDS and add a Derived column task before the Excel destination to do explicit casting of the columns to your required unicode datatypes.

Exporting Data from Essbase to Excel

Hi All,
We are using classic planning application developed in Hyperion 11.1.2.2.
Is there any way that we can export data from Essbase to Excel (Please note that i don't want to do it on server machine where essbase is installed, instead i want it on any client PC which is accessing Essbase)

there are many ways you can do that, Through Excel Add-in,SmartView functions etc different.
It depends on the requirement , if you mean to say who Essbase Data then someone else should be able to answer this.

Transport of portal pages from Production to Development

Hi,
I need to transfer the portal pages from from the production server to development server. I did see references from Development to Production but not vice- versa.
Can anybody please help me with this? What are the best practices?
DEP :- SP19 and PEP - SP9.
Thanks much,
Dharmi

Hi,
The best practises are :
1) All the Portal Servers in the System Landscape should have the same version, same support package and patches.
2) You should never transport from Production to Development, it's always the other way round.
Why do you want to transport something from Production to Development ? We always develop somthing, test it and then trasnport it to production. Any modifications to be done, should be first done on the Development Server, tested and then transported to the Production. I don't see a need to transport content from Production to Development.
Anyways, if you want to do so can you always create a transport package on Portal Production Server, add those pages to the transport package, export the transport package. You may save this transport package on the local system or you may copy this from the export folder of the server to the import folder of Portal Production Server. Then on the Portal Developement Server import the file. If you have saved the transport package file on your local machine, then while importing select client, browse and then import the file from your local machine or else select server -> browse -> import folder -> select the transport package file and import.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sunil

Export data from discovery system?

Hi all,
I have tested some scenarios on the discovery system, and would like to apply them on our own system.
Now I have the problem that I have no Customers, Products or anything else which for example I need for the service create sales order.
My Question is:
Is it possible to export the data on the discovery system to my system to avoid creating new ones at my system?

Exporting data is not supported in version 7 and in System 9 and above it only exports in a native format that can be used for reloading. The three ways I know of are Report scripts, MDX expressions run from MAxL(or EAS or Smartview) and Star Analytics integration Server.It is a third party tool and I'm not even sure if it works on version 7 ASO cubes.(I'm preetty sure it does)

Can not export data from form tracker

Hi there,
I have set up a lovely form for collecting data. It all comes into the Adobe Tracker and the Responses file fine.
What i wish to do is export data from the responses file into another format. I should be able to do it from the Export button on the left but it is 'blanked out' and does nothing if I push it. I can't find any details on here or the internet relating to this. And yes, there is data in the file to export .
Hoping you can help.
Many thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but... I created two forms for two separate purposes and have had responses to both.
One of them allows me to export the data and the other does not.
Does anyone out there have an answer for this seemingly random anomoly?

Unable to export data from Web Access Data Sheet in Sharepoint to local excel or access file

Greetings and good morning.
I'm going to start off in broad terms with this question because I'm not 100 percent sure what information to provide.
Long story short, we've got a Web Access Data Sheet list hosted in a Sharepoint 2010 environment. It is accessed and used by multiple people throughout the day. It contains several thousand line item entries. I'd call it a large data sheet.
I think the size of the data sheet is casuign some instability in the list. I'd like to be able to export a defined range of data from the list into a local excel or access file. After that, I'd delete the stuff on the Access list to improve performance.
But...when I attempt to use the Sharepoint Action bar to export - Excel locks up/crashes. If I try to export to Access, I get a similar issue.
Any ideas? Could anyone begin by telling me what other information is required?

Hi,
If you would like to export data from Access Web Database in SharePoint 2010, you could go to Design With Access page in Settings. The url in my environment is http://sp/tt/_layouts/accsrv/ModifyApplication.aspx . Then choose the Table and export it to Excel
or Modify it in Access.

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

Exporting Data From Oracle 10g to Access

Hi Experts,
I need to export data from oracle apps shcema(each and every object in it) to MS ACCESS File.
Please let me know how to do it
Thanks and Regards,
Andy

Since you did not provide details of what you are planning to do, a very simple, however, depending upon the number of your tables, very labour intensive solution:
Although being not very familiar with access, I think access offers a means to import csv files.
So e.g. using SQL*Plus you can execute the following steps.
set pagesize <nnn>
set linesize <nnn>
set colsep ',' -- You may choose other special characters to separate columns of your output
spool <csv-file>
select * from <tab>;
spool offWherever you see <nnn> exchange by appropriate numeric values to get just one page as result and to configure your line size to hold a complete record in one output line.
Replace <csv-file> and <tab> by the name of your output file to be read in to access and by the name of your table, respectively.
