LCM - copy (promote) jobs from DEV to TEST

Hi all!
I am searching for a way to copy the LCM jobs (to promote objects from DEV to TEST) from the DEV environment to the TEST environment.
Is there a way to do so? Or do I need to recreate the jobs on the TEST new, when I want to transfer the same objects from TEST to PROD?
Thanks,
Hakan

And do you know, how an existing job can be refreshed?
I can create a job where a report is promoted from DEV to TEST. When the report now changes, so that a universe used is changed, the job itself is not updated.
The only way I found is to recreate the job again. If I can solve the refresh problem of a job, I could copy the jobs from DEV to TEST and exchange the logins from DEV -> TEST and from TEST -> PROD.

Copying jobs from production to test server

Hello,
there are some jobs that are run at particular time in the productive system, the same jobs are not available in the test system.
can someone tell me, how can i copy these jobs from productive to test system.
thanks
Arun

Hi,
I dont think SAP has provided any feature to copy job.
Check the details of job scheduled in prodution & goto SM36 in Test system to create your own job with same details.

Best Practice - Move from DEV to TEST

OK guys - we OWB'ers have tried many approaches to moving OWB Objects. With the new Ver 2 I like to use only 1 Design Repository - then I create 2 Projects 1 for DEV and 1 for TEST. I also have 2 Control Centers with associated Target Schemas - 1 for DEV and 1 for TEST.
This works great since having only 1 Design Repository makes things less complicated and we can do Snapshots and Compare Objects since we use only 1 repository.
The only problem is when I do a copy and paste from DEV to TEST with say a Fact Table it is difficult to reset all the location info - especially the Lookup Tables.
Any suggestions?
Do not suggest using on Project with multiple Configurations since I tried this and it create other issues.

Best practice on 'from dev to test'move.

Hello.
My Repository 10.2.0.1.0
My client 10.2.1.31
I am writing to ask someone what would be the best practice and most common_sense_oriented way to move OWB from dev to qa/test environment?
I have read a number of recommendations on this forum and other oracle docs and it seem somewhat tedious exercise...
At the moment i am either having to simply copy and paste (ye not very professional but works a treat!) then just re-sync the tables to point to correct location on some of the smaller of my projects.
Now i have a huge project with hundreds of maps with different source locations etc.
I want to move it into test.
My test environment is where we test ETL process before implementing it in live as oppose to UAT test.
I imported the tables into OWB etc from the test, now i want to move my maps from dev to test and this is where my HOW TO comes.
I have different runtime repositories on my test as per oracle recommended (same names apply to dev and test and live repositories for the consistency purposes). Importing the maps from the export of dev to test doesn't really work and i don't really want start tweaking with export files.
for some reasons the import only imports it back to the project the export was taken from.... (which is as useful as a smack on a head, in my humble).
copy and paste the re-sync all tables would be madness, misery and pain all in one!
So what do i need to do?
1) OK i imported all the tables and views from the test environment into OWB
2) How do i move my maps from dev to test?
3) even if i copy them over - would i honeslty have to then resync tables in every single map (i am already crying by the thought of it)?!
It seem a little tidious to me.
I can imagine that there is no silver bullet and everyone have different ideas, but someone please share your experience on how would do it?
Here is something from the user guide and no matter how many times i read this - i just don't get how i can relate it to what i need to achieve.
The following quote is from "OWB User Guide", Chapter 3.
"Each location defined within a project can be registered separately within each Runtime Repository, and each registration can reference different physical information. Using this approach, you can design and configure a target system one time, and deploy it many times with different physical characteristics. This is useful if you need to create multiple versions of the same system such as development, test, and production."
As i said - i have all my tables imported from DB to OWB, now how do i make my maps to appear in repository on test? I can see the relevance of location to deploy maps into the test runtime repository, but before then i somehow have to make them to appear in my test runtime repository in Design and make sure they are referencing correct tables etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Vix

Hello Oleg.
Thank you very much for such detailed and very helpful reply.
You are correct - i have my Design Centre and within it two projects - dev and test.
Dev has all the locations pointing to the Development DB and it has it's own runtime repository/control centre configured.
Test has all the locations pointing to the Test DB and it also has it's own runtime repository/control centre configured.
I have one design centre and two runtime environments.
both dev and test have identical tables etc. I moved the logic over form dev to test (all the functions, procedures etc), i have also imported tables and logic from TEST DB to the test project.
All i want to do is now move over the maps from DEv to TEST. Which is not a problem (copy and paste are helpful), but then the copied maps are still point to the tables in Dev. Which means i have to sync it with test tables - i hope i am making sense here!
I was hoping that there is some clever way of just changing something to effectively tell table in the map 'to point to the table in this database'. If the map is already configured - the only way to do it is to sync the tables, which will enable you to select the DB and table you want your table in the map to be pointing to.
The reason i do not use imp/exp between projects - it is not really reliable. Have to then jump through the hoops ensuring all contrains etc are there. It is safer to just import whatever i need from DB - ensuring all my constrains etc are there.
I do regular exports as a means of 'having a backup copy of the project', but never managed to import anything from one project to another (was easier with OWB 9 where it was possible to amend the .mdl file). It works fine to import back to the project the export was taken from.
I don't have problems with the location etc - took me hours to set everything the way i wanted it to be and now all the deployments are going to the right schemas, DBs etc.
Is there are any other way re-pointing the tables in the map to another DB? Like in the falt files - there is an option to choose the location of the file. So once the location is define/registered etc - you can choose whatever one is needed fromm the drop down on the left of the map.
I hoped there would be something similar for the tables. Like a big bulk option for 'tick here if you want all tables in the maps to be pointing to identical tables in another DB) type thing. Guess something like bulk sync option...
Oh well, guess i just have to stick with sync option (sobbing uncontrolably) and it hasn't stopped raining here for days!
Once again - thank you very much for all your kind help and advice.
Kind Regards

AIA FP 11.1.1.3 - Deployment Plan Generation for migrating from Dev to Test

Hi All,
Can you please validate the following from a Deployment from Dev to Test perspective. We have almost completed the development for an interface using AIA 11g, and are in the process of moving the interface from one instnace to another, and any help is highly appreciated.
Let us the take Purchase Order Integration between a legacy application and Oracle Purchasing, File Adapter-> Requester ABCS -> EBS -> Provider ABCS -> DB Adapter, which is a classical flow.
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the LCW using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.
8. After harvesting, from the AIA LCW, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instanec.
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
Regards,
Anish

Hi Anish,
Following are the responses -
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench - Yes
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow - Yes
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the PLWB using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.-Yes but location attribute in binding.ws section of composite.xml should always have concrete WSDL location.Use <replaceToken> in DeploymentPlan to replace the ip and port.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them - Yes
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide-Yes
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.- Yes
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.-Yes
8. After harvesting, from the AIA PLWB, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?-The 5 composites created by you should have a corresponding service solution component defined.When you define a service solution component in PLWB then a GUID is generated in the database table.You need to retrieve that value and manually enter in the annotation section of composite.xml except for ABCS.Then only the BOM will contain information on all the composites.
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.*-Once you harvest it will be visible.*
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML - Yes
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS - Yes
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instance.-Yes
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
Yes the 'UpdateMetaData' section under 'Configurations' in the DeploymentPlan will upload XSDs, WSDLs, DVM,Xrefs into MDS.
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
The 'Deployments' section will deploy the project into server and write the information into MDS.

Seeking for Best Solutions to move code from Dev to Test: 11.1.1.3

Seeking for Best Solutions to move code from Development to Test server: Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0
Development: Hostname: dev; Web logic server: WLSDev; Database: DBDev
Testing: Hostname: test; Web logic server: WLSTest; Database: DBTest
Now how do we take code from Development environment to Test environment? Once code is taken from development, testing team can't touch it.

Lalitk,
The obvious answer is just deploying the same EAR in test that you deployed to production?
What other aspects do you need to deploy? If you have database code/data that needed to be migrated as well, I would copy the production DB to test and then apply all of your DB upgrade/patch scripts against that - in that way you can ensure your upgrade/patch scripts get tested as well.
Are there other things you need to migrate (MDS repositories, security setups, etc)?

How to migrate the Hyp financial report 11 from dev to test on aix

Hi All,
I need to migrate 3 Hyp Fin Reports 11.1.2.2 from dev to UAT. I am new to this. Can any one tell me the steps or the link to the documentation??
Thanks !!!!!

Hi Celvin,
Thanks for the reply. Could you please let me know how to perform the LCM migration for HFR.
I am having some issues with my HFR server and so I cannot open the reports. So I am thinking if I can use LCM and export and migrate the reports to another server.
The steps I am performing to do this:
Login to HSS > Application group> Reporting and Analysis> Repository objects> report folder name> select reports> Hit on Export
Now in the exported folder I see three things:
RnA-Reporting and Analysis (Its a folder)
Export.xml
Import.xml
Now under RnA-Reporting and Analysis folder I see sub folders
resource\Repository Objects\Under this folder, I see for every report there is one .xml file and 5 other files for the same report.
Can anyone tell me how to import these reports back into the new environment?
Thanks,

Installing New Grid & Copy/Migrate Jobs From New Grid

Existing Setup:_
EM Grid Control: 10.2.0.2 Hosted on Windows 2003
Repository Database: 10.2.0.3 Hosted on AIX 5.1
Agent: 10.2.0.2
Monitored Databases/servers: About 90 servers/databases are monitored which are on AIX and having 10g DB version and agant installed in 10.2.0.2
Proposed Setup:_
EM Grid Control: 10.2.0.5 Will be hosted on AIX 6.1
Repository Database: 10.2.0.4 Will be hosted on AIX 6.1 (different server from EM Grid control server)
Agent: 10.2.0.5
Monitored Databases/servers: All the existing servers + Oracle E-business Application
We are planing to install a new grid with option of installing with existing database(New 10.2.0.4 database will be installed). Once new grid start working properly, we will stop old grid.
During this process we don't want to stop/modify/change the existing grid jobs..
So, My questions are:
1) Can we have two agents (both with different OS users and having different AGENT_HOMES) on each server, which will feed to different grids? Old one will be stopped eventually.
2) How we can copy/migrate existing jobs from old grid to new grid ?

---- When you the existing database option , new repository will be created with user SYSMAN.
So, My questions are:

2) How we can copy/migrate existing jobs from old grid to new grid ?--- You can clone the database and use the cloned database jobs for your new grid. Even cloned database can be used for your new grid.

How to delete users from Dev and Testing once it is deleted in Production

Sap Gurus,
Is there any automated way to delete the users from development and testing once it is has been deleted from production. i.e. when the administrator deletes the user from production after logging in then it should automatically delete the users from testing and development without logging on in these 2 systems (development and testing). Can anyone help me in resolving this issue.
I am very much thankful in advance..
Regards,
Kali

Rob,
Ok, you are right in that way I can allow only that person but I have to allow 2 persons at this time. i.e. If at all I have to allow one more person also how should I do it, and also what if the person uses different passwords in development and testing?
Thanks for your response Rob.

Steps should be taken to make a client copy say from dev to test using BDLS

Some one help to write up on real situation at any client site...by BASIS group
for SRM box..
Say client num in Dev is 100
and we want to copy all that to a test box where the client number is 101...
initially client 100 SRM box is pointing to R/3 say dev box 201
the new R/3 box is 202. And we have to point the 101 to 202. So I am just wondering the steps
taken by BASIS group to build the test env. 101 ---> 202

Hello,
we had experienced some problems during client copy with SRM in our earlier project.
I am not a basis guy but i can give you some hint for yr situation:
- Copy R/3 client 101 to 202 with the profile SAP_ALL
- change the SID with BDLS
- Copy SRM client 100 to 101 with the profile SAP_CUST
- change the SID with BDLS
- Now download the masterdata from R/3 to SRM
SRM client should never be copied with SAP_ALL profile because ,if done so the logical system for product masters is copied that of old client.
This creates total chaos and nothing works.

Moving the application from dev to testing..

Hi,
Now we are in a stage of Developing the application(Cube).How can we move the application from development server to testing server?

HI,
1. In your EAS , add both the analytic servers i.e of Development and testing .
2. NOw, you can either use 'Migration wizard' or you can even copy the whole application from one to other , this will only take care of the meta data . It doesnt copy the data .
3. For data, you got to export data ( without format and all data), and load it into the destination application . I recommend not to user any format option of export ,as you can do free form dataload without any rule file

Urgent:: How to transport customer exit from dev to test system?

Hi,
We have created a Customer exit in our development system in the $tmp package, and we want to transport it to our test system. Can you please tell us how to proceed on this. We are not able to change the package as our package is a development package and so does not start with Y or Z.
Best Regards,
Charu.

Your package is RSR right.. this is the package for the function group XRSR where in this user exit exists.
you need to have a separate development class either starting with Y or Z. If not, ask any developer or your sap basis team to create one for you. then you can assign this development class to your user exit.
To check this, go to SE38 - enter your program name ZXRSRU01, display, in the menu "goto", CHECK "object Directory entry", you should have this development class.
Hope this helps.
Shakeel.
