Migrate security from production to test platform

Is there a method by which security that exists on production platform, can be migrated back to the test platform (groups, users & passwords, and application filters)?Thanks

HiThere is a security utility available on this website, that allows for importing and exporting all security etc.This is the simplest way to complete.Hope this helps.Andy Kingwww.analitica.biz

How to migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server?

We are using Planning 11.1.1.3 Oracle repository. Presently our DR Planning Application name is different than production's name, and the DR's Windows server names are different from Production's. Otherwise, all other configuration the same.
How do we migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server? We stopped Planning on DR server. Then we exported production planning Oracle repository and imported it to DR Planning. We restarted DR's Planning. DR planning seems to be running fine, but I am afraid to click "Refresh Planning" on DR Planning - it might update Production server. So how can I be sure DR and Production planning are disconnected ?
Is there anything we need to do? This method seems to be faster than migrating with LCM.

You are definitely go about it the correct way, if you are migrating the whole planning application I have to agree it is a safer and quicker route.
The connection information to essbase is stored in the planning system database/schema so as long as you have not migrated that then you should be good to refresh.
To put your mind at rest, log into the planning application and edit the datasource associated with the application then you will see where the essbase server is it is going to refresh.

Missing datafile after cloing oracle EBS from production to test

Good Day
I have done a restore from the production system to the test system some time ago . Today I got an error on my test system saying ORA-00376: file 375 cannot be read at this time . After checking I found that the file seems to be missing on the test environment .
SQL > select file_name from dba_data_files where file_id=375 ;
/gldb11i/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00375
So I got the name from production and since the file seems to be avilabe in test I did the rename as follows :
SQL> alter database rename file '/gldb11i/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00375' to '/gld
b11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf' ;
Database altered.
But when I tryed to recover the file I got the error .
SQL> recover datafile '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01110: data file 375: '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-01122: database file 375 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 375: '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-01206: file is not part of this database - wrong database id
Ofcourse that is becuse my test dataabse was renamed from production name fmprod to test name fmdev .
Is there any way to recover the file ? . I have all the archive logs avilable . Can nid change the database id in the file if it is only one file ?
Why did I not get any errors when I was doing the post cloneing process ?
Please note my databse is versio 9.2.0.6
Many thanks to all

1. Use Transportable feature to transport the remaining datafile from production to test.
How can I do that without stopping production or making it read only .
2. Reclone only that tabespace from Production to test.
How , I used the oracle provided scripts for the cloning process ie . adcfgclone.pl
3. Depending on the size of data contents, manually drop and recreate the tablespace in test, export contents from Production, import into test.
I am worried about the data consistancy . Will the database be consistant it I do that there might be tables on other tablespaces related to this tablespace
Thanks

Clone JDEdwards Enterprise One from Production to Test

Please advice what is the way of Cloning JDEdwards Enterprise One from Production to Test.

Uhh, this is the JD Edwards World forum. There is actually a separate forum for JD Edwards Enterprise One. Go back to the Forum Home and scroll down past JD Edwards World and you will find the Enterprise One forum. Technically there is a good amount of difference between World and Enterprise One. So to get better answers to your question, you need to post this on the Enterprise One forum. Good luck.

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.

Database refresh from production to test -how to clean existing test env

All,
My environment is
Both Production and Test databases are in two node RAC environment
Oracle version - 10.2.0.4.0
OS - RHEL5
Production database size 80GB
We need to refresh the test environment from production database. Complete objects, data etc should be refreshed.
We have a datapump export from production environment. With this export dump from production environment, I need to import into test environment.
So far, I have imported with this kind of dump to the fresh database only.
Now, we have already objects, data sitting in the test environment. How to clean the existing test environment and refresh the production datapump export dump.
I thought of dropping all the tablespaces in test (other than system,sysaux, undo and temp). But not able to drop few tablespaces, it is telling that index is available in other tablespaces, dependency errors etc.
Which is the best method to clean the existing test database. Management is not interested in dropping the test database and recreating it.

I understand that you are Newbie , let give me simple steps.
Follow the steps on testing envi.
1. Drop only Application users that you want to refresh from Prod(Do NOT drop users system,sysaux.. or tablespaces)
2. Create the users that you dropped.
3. using import or import data pump import the data.
In case you want to import user"A" data to "B" use REMAP_SCHEMA option.
See the below link for data pump export/import with examples.

Hi,
You can do one correction here :
Instead of taking full export backup , take export of only those schemas which you want to refresh.
You can use datapump to make it faster.
For improving speed please check

Best wasy to move OC4J from Production to Test MidTier

I've read the documents but I am still lost on the best way to move a OC4J instance to another MidTier
I have 3 separate OC4J instances that are deployed for 3 separate divisions that contain different apps.
What is the easiest way to move them to a different MidTier in a different environment. (in my case same OS,portal 10.1.2 just slightly different layout)
I have worked though the create a test from production and have my test up and running. I just need to deploy the production apps to the test environment. Both have separate MidTiers, Infrastures and database.
I know I can manually recreate OC$J instance names and then manually recreate the apps from the .ear files but is there a easier faster way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
It's not a simple move, it's an upgrade...
So perhaps transportable tablespace can help you (export from 10gR1 and import into 10gR2 should be work).
Read the following doc for more info and sample :
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10825/dp_export.htm#i1006840
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10739/tspaces.htm#sthref1231

http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1267
Or export your db in dump file, on the new server, precreate your db as well, and import like for an upgrade :

Migrating Security from Native to External Authentication mode Servers

Hi All,
I am migrating applications from V7, V9 (doesn't use Shared services) to V11 (Shared Services Enabled) Essbase server.
I am able to migrate the application definition using the Application Migration Wizard.
Take level-0 export from the source server & load on the target server & do the default-calc or series of custom calcs depending upon the application's maintenance process.
Using the Application Migration wizard, we can also migrate security only if both Source & Target servers use Native Authentication mode.
This can be ruled out in my case as only Sources are native & Target is Shared services enabled.
Here are few tools available to do bulk provisioning on a Shared Services enabled Essbase application -
1. MAXL - Works great - But too tedious to create the MAXL statements based on the security definitions on the Source servers.
2. CSS Import-Export utility - I heard it works only when both Source & Target are Shared services enabled. Can this be used for my case. Also heard many didn't find success with this one.
3. LCM - Not sure if this can be used for security.
Are there any other utilities?
Has anyone done similar migrations before? Please let me know the best practice to do this.
Appreciate your thoughts.
-Ethan.

It is much easier to go about that method, it is not always 100% successful with groups/users but gets most done.
If you are past that stage then maybe try using the advanced security manager to extract security from your source environment.
Then you could use the CSSImportExport Utility, first create a template from the information you extracted from your source and then run use the utility to provision users in the new environment.
There are obviously other ways but that is the way I would prefer if using Shared services security.
Cheers

Transfer content of BO XI 3.1 from production to test

Hi all!
I have separate production system BO XI R3.1 FP 1.3 and a test system BO XI R3.1 FP 1.7.
After a crash I tried to use the import wizard to move the content of production to test. When I create a biar file with the Import Wizard under 1.3, this file is not recogized within Import Wizard 1.7.
Is there another way to copy all items within the BO XI server?
I tried with the Live Cycle Manager - but failed, as not all objects can be choosen for transfer.
Can I use the repository database from production and copy it to test? How can I change then the CMS server settings?
ciao Hakan

So here the solution:
1. Open CCM
2. Stop Server Intelligence Agent (SIA)
3. Open Properties -> Configuration -> Specify
4. Copy from existing Datasource (Prod) to new Datasource (will be overwritten/Test)
5. Check change Clustername to define the new clustername
6. close
7. Open CCM
8. Add new Server Intelligence Agent (last option - don't recreate)
9. Provide "Name and Port" : SIA2 port: 6410 -> on second register port: 6400
10. Define Datasource (Test) - be aware of your production environment had auditing enabled you need the specify also an audtition database in Test too.
11. Start the new entry within CCM for SIA2
12. If everthing was okay, delete the existing node within CMC Website
13. in CCM delete the obsolete entry for SIA - if not possible you need to hack the registry entries for services under Windows /currentcontrolset .. service is listed as BO120SIASIA
I have my test still running, but if anything changes I will post them here.

Unable to connect to environment after migrating Security from BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.1

Hi Experts,
We are working on BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.1 NW migration and after migrating the environment, we are unable to connect to environment.
While trying to access, we are getting the following error:
After taking a backup of the necessary environment in BPC 7.5 NW we are carrying out the 2 steps in the BPC 10.1 NW box:
Step 1 : Tcode UJBR - Restore the environment in BPC 10.1
Results: This is working fine.
Step 2: Program UJT_MIGRATE_75_TO_101 - Running the migration utility in BPC 10.1 to make the objects compatible with BPC.
2.1 Execute without Security Mapping
Results:
This is working fine. We are able to connect to the Environment and access the dimensions and models.
2.2 Execute with only Security Mapping
Results:
After this step, we are not able to access the environments and are getting the Logon error.
cannot get model "" in environment "xxxxxx" from Admin module
The logon attempt failed; contact your administrator.
If you have any options to resolve this error, it would be great.
Else, we will have to re-build the entire security design manually.
Regards,
Sushant Pradhan

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your response. Yes, my id has SAP_ALL authorization.
Still unable to access the environment after migrating security.
To make things less complicated, we went back to BPC 7.5 NW - deleted all unwanted user ids, we kept only 3 user ids. Then, we took backup of application set and restored it in BPC 10.1.
We created a mapping file of those 3 user ids in BPC 10.1 as NW user ids and executed the Migration utility. Again we have same error.
Regards,
Sushant Pradhan.

Mass Copy directory contents and permissions from production to test server

am using SUNOS5.8.
I found out there is a discrepency between the production and test environments.
The discrepency is only with folder and subfolders contained in /admin/bin/myfolder.
The production environment is more up to date and the test environment is lagging behind.
I want to make both the environments same, as they should be.
Is there a single command in Unix that will overwrite existing folders/files in test server and copy everything including permissions starting from /admin/bin/myfolder from production server to test server?
Please also give examples of how to user the command?

I have come to know there are various tools available:
rsh
rcp
rdist
rsync
scp
sftp
ftp
ftp is a very tedious tool to copy all directory contents one by one.
cd DirA
mv * /path/to/DirB
This method is also not a very preferable one.
