IMG Transactions in Production Environment

Hi all you SAP experts
I would dearly like to know how you handle the execution of IMG transactions like OB52 (Opening and closing of accounting periods), OB83 (Tax Rates) etc. in your production environment. We currently "Open" the system for the business user (system is kept non-modifiable) to allow the user to perform the transaction. Once completed, we "Close" the system again. However, I do not believe this is best practise. Our DEV and PROD environments are not in sync regarding master data which makes maintaining IMG in DEV and transporting to PROD for some IMG transactions impossible (eg. Linking of a symbolic account to a vendor).
What is the best way of handling this?
Regard

For OB52 can be alternatively accessed through F-60 which can be give to the needed users.
OB83 one may need to work with security to find a *object* which can be used to give security to modify /display.

Modify the transaction OAAR Production environment

Dear
We need to change the transaction to open OAAR period of depreciation. But faced with the message that the client is closed. I talked with my staff to open this transaction basis in production but they failed. Does anyone have any idea how this transaction would be opened in production?
Any help is welcome
Sorry for my english

Hi,
In OAAR - you can change the closed period as per depreciation area level and in OAAQ it would change for all the areas.
You have any specific depreciation area where you need to open up the closed year?

Issue in production environment

Hi,
We got an issue in the production environment on last Friday and yet not able to find out the root cause of the issue.
Environment
GUI : .Net
Server : Java
Application Server: Jboss
Database: Sqlserver
The Java application is deployed into Jboss application server which connects to SQL server as back end. GUI makes the web service call to server for data communication
Issue
Friday at 2 PM users reported the slowness of the application (Not getting the response from server in GUI), all the request from GUI were getting timed out.
Restart of Jboss didn't help
Restarted the Jboss and sqlserver for the second time and than the environment became stable
Analysis
1. From the thread dump of Jboss log we see that there are many threads waiting on a socket for database connection(according to database team all the connections are open and available at that particular time).
2. The size of transaction log is almost doubled during this period (when the issue was reported).
We couldn't find a reason why this issue is happened. Is it a database issue or something else? Please suggest...
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
According to your description, when running the web application, many threads are waiting for the socket from database which cause requests from front GUI time out. Right?
In this scenario, user can access the front GUI, which means the application server is working. Since the connections are all open at that particular time, it should not be issue on your JDBC. It seems to be a deadlock issue which cause other threads
waiting and hang. I recommend check and optimize your code. On database side, I suggest you open the SQL profiler, select DeadLock Graph, it will record when deadlock occurs. Please refer to links below:
Detecting and Ending Deadlocks
Analyze Deadlocks with SQL Server Profiler
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to check transport in Production environment

Hi,
I did some standard configuration as OBYA (Intercompany automatic Posting clearing account) in development Box and get it transported to Production.
I have to verify that the configuration I have done has been transported to Production Environment.
Where should I check? I don't have access to SE16 in Production.
Quick response will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

hi Mehak,
go to transaction SE01 (either in development/customizing or in production system), in the first tabstrip enter the transport number and click on Log (2nd Pushbutton). This will display the Transport Log, and you can see if there were no errors during import into Production System, then your changes are there.
hope this helps

Special caharcters in Production environment

Hello Experts,
I am facing a problem in the jobstream monitoring:
Problem faced:
Some one allowed the special cahracters in production environment. I know the resolution of the problem but I need to track the user who made these changes in the system. Is there any possibility to identify the user who has changes the settings ins the transaction RSKC
Thanks and Regards,
Suresh

Hi suresh,
You can try this way,
go to metadata repository(under RSA1), go to the required object type (Transformation, update rule etc), find your required object and double click on this.
This will give you the last changed by information.

Suggestion for Iridium I/O third party tool use in production environment. Is Good or bad to use?

Hello Everyone,
we are planing to use Iridium I/O third party tool in one of our critical production environment to improve the performance.
but i want to know is it recommended for such type of critical servers?.
if i use this tool find any performance improvement.

Hi Baraiya,
Iridium I/O is certified by Microsoft. It can help to fix SQL Server performance instead of just pointing out performance problems . Benefits of using Iridium include the following aspects. Refer to:
Iridium I/O for SQL Server.
•Faster transactions
•Faster batch jobs
•Reduced blocking and deadlocking
•Faster sorting in tempdb
•Speeds up queries from 3rd Party apps that can't be tuned
•Speeds up queries that are already "fully tuned"
•Speeds up the 95% of queries that the DBA never has time to tune
In addition, there will be no impact on the SQL databases when Iridium is removed. Personally, I recommend you install the Iridium I/O in a test environment, and check if it meets your requirement, then use it in the production server.
For more details , you can also review this blog:
SQL SERVER – Iridium I/O – SQL Server Deduplication that Shrinks Databases and Improves Performance.

Production environment with Oracle Database XE.

Hello, let me know which group members using Oracle Database XE in a production environment:
- Description of the business.
- Type environment: (Web, intranet or desktop).
- Programming language used.
- Performance.
Roberto.

We are using Oracle XE as point of sale backends.
Overall architecture:
- Cashier interacts with HTML GUI running in web browser in kiosk mode.
- GUI written in PHP served locally by Apache on point of sale unit.
- point of sale core logic is written in PL/SQL as packages in Oracle XE DB.
- currently, DBMS_JOB runs every 5 minutes to synchronize (push sales, pull data) with inventory server. (want to change to AQs so complete transactions are pushed in real time)
- sales reports, etc run from main Oracle Standard One Edition inventory DB.
Since each point of sale needs to run IE, Apache and Oracle XE we've found that 1GB of RAM is minimum that we can get away with and still have the system running well (cashier should never have to wait for anything; pressing any button on the GUI should react instantly even though it is IE making a local page request, Apache running a PHP module to serve the request, and calling PL/SQL to do the actual data change in the DB).
We've had XE go corrupt (strange errors, bad indexes, etc.) on us several times over the past 2 years. Fortunately in our case, we've never lost any data since sales are pushed to the main server which is backed up. Then, anything in the local XE database is expendable as we can rebuild it and pull back all information from the server. I've tried rebuilding indexes and such rather than completely rebuilding the database but have had no success (fixes for a few hours or a day but ultimately, the database continues to experience problems until the computer is rebuilt).

Custom table entries transportable / maintainable in production environment

Hi,
I have a custom table with table maintenance generator (automatic transport of table entries). I would also like to maintain the table entires in the production environment (i.e. using SM30 transaction, rather than transporting the entries from Quality). I hope there is a cofiguration to do this.
Could any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

Adding to what others have suggested, it is not advisable to give SM30 access to your users. Its better to create a parameter transaction for the maintainance dialog and give the user access to that transaction. Other way of restricting the access is using authorization group selection while creation of maintainance dialog (&NC& will give access to every one). Check the below link to see how to create a parameter transaction for sm30.

Customizing PFAC Transaction in Production (Role to Postion Mapping)

All,
We have added email recipients in PFAC. Our recipents are based on 'Roles to Position Mapping'.
We often get a request to add or delet a recipient in production.
We can transport our changes from Dev as the roles to position mapping is different in Dev QA and Prod.
I know SAP makes some transaction maintenable in Production. So that we can directly make the changes in Production environment. or is there any other way that you must be following at your work place to overcome this issue.
I have also opened a OSS note for this, thought will get some insight from the gurus here.
Are you aware if PFAC is one of them.

Unable to import the Internet servivce into Production Environment

Hi,
We put the internet service and its HTML templates in a custom package for integrated ITSMobile. We got everything but the internet service ZXXX in the production. Has anyone come across this before? We were able to transport to the quality system. But it did not create the internet service in the production environment. Is it authorization issue? Your input will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Subbu

Hi Subbu,
I suggest you to as your basis guys how are familiar with transports between systems. They will find out what the reason is. Without being able to look into transport protocols it is unlikeliy that someone here can advise you.

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

HI,
The TR will not move the changes as you are expecting here.
Any changes to planning area, below 5.0 need to de-intialize the planning area.
just like
1. hold the latest back up
2. de-intialize planning area
3. make the required changes to planning area
4. initialize planning area and do conisistency checks
5. load back the data to planning area at all CVC level
all the steps need to perfom, in Dev and Quality and Production servers,
Plan the activity for a weekend so that users will not get disturb*
All the best

Hi,
From your description, I know you want to set cookie value as httpOnly but it is not work.
Please try to add codes below to your global.asax file:
<SCRIPT language="C#" runat="server">
protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
try
if (Request.IsSecureConnection == true)
                Response.Cookies ["ASP.NET_SessionId"].Secure = true;
catch (Exception)

Problem on developing SSRS report in a production environment

Any problem could be caused if have to develop SSRS report in a production environment ?
If so, how it can be prevented?
Thanks!

Hi ,
As per my understanding, Normally our environment setup contains Development,testing,preproduction,production and its varies from company to company.
We develop SSRS report in development environment and after testing we deploy it to production report server.
Development environment use development database for creating report like your database IP and credential will use development environment
setup. and production environment use production database for creating report like your database IP and credential will use production environment setup.
Thanks
