How to manage DEV STG PRD systems

Hi all,
what is the best approach to manage the three systems mentioned in the subject.
our requirement is
Developers will have full access to DEV
Changes to be moved by DBA first to STG and the PRD
Developers need access to PRD in case of troubleshooting the issues. the access can be Schema level on specific objects (mentioned in the form)
We try to have following methodology please advise if this is correct
1. Restrict access to PRD to application Schema users only
2. Create developer accounts on PRD and lock them
3. Exp/Imp changes requested through approved change form (DBA will do)
4. For troubleshooting unlock the developer account and grant the access on schema/objects mentioned in approved form
5. Revoke the roles/privileges from developer account when troubleshooting is completed and lock the account.
Is there any other way this can be managed. Granting and revoking of roles is bit lousy and time consuming even though it is through scripts.
Another problem we face is to manage the passwords in Coldfusion application servers. There are around 50 database schema which are used in 7 application servers. In order to change the passwords we need to change them on 7 places. Is there way around to make to bit easier.
Thanking you in advance for your help and advise.
regards
Aijaz

Looking forward to get advise from the experts.
Please help

How to replicate datasource to PRD System created in BW System (DEV)

Hi Experts,
I created one datasource (based on infoset) in BW so as to extract the data from the table to ODS. Now, i have to replicate it to PRD system.
How can i do it?
Regards,
Pablo Moraes

Hi,
Go to RSA1, Source System, Right click on the Source System name for eg BWP100 and DataSource Overview, go to the respective application component or find your datasource with its tech name and right click on the appl comp and replicate datasource once it is done then go to SE38 tcode and run RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and give your InfoSource name there and execute. Then you are good to go with the loads.
Hope that helps!!

Different Recipients of Alerts in DEV and PRD Systems.

Dear All
I wanted to know if it is possible to configure different set of recipients for an alert category in XI DEV and XI PRD systems.
For example i have two groups "Group A" and "Group B" which should recieve alert mails.For this ,
we can create 2 different roles in XI DEV i.e. "Role_A" and "Role_B" and assign user id's to these roles and then assign these roles to Alert Category using the "Recipients Via User Roles" option .This is done in XI DEV system.
My question is it possible that alert mails are just sent to "Role_B" in the XI PRD system. (not to ROLE_A). As ideally we would be transporting the alert categories from DEV> QAS> PRD can we have different recipients configurations in DEV and PRD.
Please suggest.
regards
Nilesh.

Hi Nilesh,
Yes it is possible, Just change the receipent of alert category on PRD system (you can change receipent anytime you want).

Wage type characteristics variation in Dev and PRD system

Hi All,
We have a wage type for ex: 9501, We will be entering the WT in infotype 15 and the in the payslip it will be in payments section.
When I enter value 50 in DEV system, it is showing 50 in payslip under payments section but in PRD system the same scenario reacts as 46.53 in the payslip when we enter 50 in infotype 15. Not sure why it is behaving in such a way, any ideas?
With Regards,
Giriesh M

Hi Sikindar,
Thank you for the respond. I have checked where it get changed and it was happening in GVAL. Later I find out that it is based on /801 splits ( it has 2 splits and based on the first record it was producing such result). As I am new to functional side it is bit struggle to know from where I have to analyse. Your suggestions helped me to find out. Thanks a lot.

Solution Manager DEV and PRD box

In my landscape i have 2 systems for solution manager SMD and SMP , what is the ideal way sap community is using them ...should i divide the solman roles among them or how the 2 system landscape of solman is used ..
Regards

Hello Tiger,
In my experience many SAP customers have a one or two system landscape in Solution Manager.
For customers whose main line of business is providing service with the Solution Manager, I would recommend a three system landscape (dev, qas and prd). For customers who run less critical functionality with Solution Manager, and when costs of hosts for the Solution Manager systems are an issue, one or two tier system landscapes can be also considered. Other than this, I don't know any document with precise guidelines to answer your question. At the end it all depends on the scenarios you want to run, and how critical the functionality you run with Solution Manager is for your company.

we have two BW and BI Systems,
My customer is keeping some of 30 querys in favorites in one BW System and now we need to copy that same queries in BI System, Any possibiliteis ?

Hi
You can use the Function Module FAVOS_EVENT_ADD_TO_USER_SHELF for this. SAP_GUID is the WBID, TEXT is the fav text and REPORT_NAME as RRMX
To add new folders
You can either use BEx Browser or login into your BW system using SAP Logon, go to your sap easy access menu (TCODE:SMEN), right click the folders you want to manage and add your subfolders.
Also go through these

How to manage transfer to OLTP system for deployment

hello experts,
Please could you suggest me how to solve this problem:
The rule is that only TLB results must be transferred to ECC
However, some Plants are not using TLB and I need to get the results of deployment sent to ECC for those plants.
I have set the checkbox TLB immediate transfer in SPRO (Configure transfer to OLTP system). I have also maintained all the plants in SPRO maintain distribution definition with external procurement. For deployment I ticked "no transfer"
I don't know whether it is possible to send results of deployment only for a couple of selected plants.
Is it possible without using CHange Pointers??
Thank you for your answers,
Best regards
EL

Hi,
this whole activity needs to be handled in two steps.
Step 1 - Run TLB for only those plants which need to have STOs. This can be done as a standard APO requirement. In the variant exclude the plants for which you do not want to run TLB
Step 2 - Once step 1 is completed publish Deployments orders (STRs) from APO to ECC using T.Code /sapapo/c5. Here in the varaint select the correct order type and locations for which you want to sent STRs.
Please run these in batch jobs ensuring to maintain the sequence, to avoid confusion.
Thanks,
Harsh

Overhead Rates Maintenance in DEV,QAS & PRD Systems

Hello All,
I need your expert advice on this topic. "What is the best practice to maintain OH rates in SAP Systems across the landscape". Any link to document, whitepaper or knowledge link is very welcome.
I am aware that it can be maintained after making the system modifiable. But being a basis guy, i am against this method and am on the look out for the best process to do it.
Points will be awarded for sure for worthy answers.
Best Regards,
Sri

Hi,
To define the overhead method, choose:
Period-end closing->Single functions->Accrual calculation->Extras ® Settings->Percentage method, or
Planning->Planning aids->Accrual calculation->Extras->Settings->Percentage method
Using the overhead structure display for the given controlling area, you can maintain, create, or call up information on accrual calculations for selected objects.
To do so, choose one of the following objects either by double-clicking on it or by choosing Goto from the menu:
Base (basis for calculation): You specify the base cost elements that are to be assigned overhead per controlling area. Choose Where-used list->Overhead structure or Controlling area to display whether and where the base cost element assignments exist.
O/H rate (overhead rates): Determines plan and actual overhead rate percentages for each controlling area applying to a particular validity period. On the overhead list screen, the Assignments indicator shows whether individual overhead rates exist.
To check the assignment of the current object (calculation base, overhead rate, or credit) and to display the assignments per controlling area, per overhead structure and the structures not used, when maintaining the above-mentioned accrual data, choose Where-used list-> Overhead structures or Controlling area (see: Where-Used List for Accrual Calculations).
Controlling->Cost Center Accounting-> Planning->Planning Aids->Accrual Calculation-> Percentage Method->Maintain Overhead Structure.
- Actual Postings->Period-End Closing->Accrual Calculation->Percentage Method-> Maintain Overhead Structure.
Save your entries.
Hope this helps you.

SAP PRD system installtion on HP-UX db2 with HA??

Hi All,
I want to install prd system with high availability pls suggest me file systems on virtual and physical host names.
I am planning to install
Node1:
ASCS,CI,ERS instances
node2:
DB,ERS,Dialog instances
and i am some confusing about usr/sap/trans.is it mandatory to mount from DEV to PRD system???
can we install ci instance on physical host??
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandhra,
Please follow below approach
Node 1: ASCS + CI
Node 2: DB + ERS + APP
ASCS also holds enqueue process hence ERS is not needed on Node 1.
Following file systems should be shared across both the nodes
/usr/sap/trans
/sapmnt/<SID>
Following instance should be installed with virtual host
DB instance
ASCS instance
Following instance should be installed with physical host
CI instance
APP server
ERS
When node1 fails
ASCS will move to node 2. Node 2 will have DB+ ASCS + APP . Rest other instance should be down
When Node 2 fails
DB will move to Node1. Node 1 will have DB+ASCS+ CI. Rest other instances should be down.
Refer SAP installation guide and relevant notes for planning the installation.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

I think you need to adjust your filter settings in the initial screen of MOPZ.
It's in the right top corner.

How do you organise the management of your IdM system?

Hi Everyone,
We're just starting off on our IdM project and I'm looking for some help and advice around how you've organised roles and responsibilities for managing your IdM system. Things like:
   - Who is responsible for managing the RunTime environments?
   - Who is responsible for managing the UI infrastructure?
   - Who configures Idm using the MMC?
   - Who configured IdM using the UI?
I'm a basis guy and have built a sandpit environment to get a look at the product and understand a little more about how it works. At the MMC level it seems all or nothing which makes me question who I should let have access to this. Perhaps I should let more people have access to Dev, but not in Test / Live?? And use the system copy mechanism to promote to live.
Personally I see the Basis team managing the Runtime and UI infrastructure. The 'IdM' / security team managing via the UI, but I'm not clear about who to give access to the MMC.
I'd be grateful for any feedback.
Thanks
Gareth

Hello Gareth
This question can give a lot of talk. And there is no right or wrong, as it depends mainly how your organization is structured.
Basically I would not split between DEV/QAS/PRD in terms of authorizations. My view is, that those from the business (eg. Head of Accounting) only get privileges on the UI. For example he can approve all requests, change users and such. All that has to do with DB, MMC and others, should be done by the basis guys. I know this is not always possible, but it would be good if one person could do all the tasks. This is good when you need to solve a problem, but can obviously also lead to other problems in security related issues.

3-tier vs. 2-tier system architecture (DEV- QAS- PRD)

Dear Xperts,
I would like to know your opinion about a 3-tier (DEV->QAS->PRD) vs 2-tier (DEV/QAS->PRD) BW system architecture.
Why should you choose for 3 instead of 2, or the other way around. Thus pro's & cons.
Thx.
regards,
JvB
ps xcuse me 4 the cross-post in the 2004s part. It should be posted in this forum.

Hello
2 Tier architecture will have Presentation Layer and DataBase Layer. So each and every time we have to access the Database directly and this may affect the DB Performance and if the number of concurrent users are more then it will be worser.
in 3 Tier case another layer "Application layer" has been incorporated as an intermediate between the above said 2 layers and this prevents the direct access to the DB. The performance is not highly affected. can Manage multiple concurrent users.
Heard about 4 tier came and installation process going in in Gulf. (not sure)
