OS/DB Migration Check Question

Hi,
I am planning an OS/DB Migration for a ECC 5 legacy production system that is now only used as a reference system. This system is currently on AIX/Oracle and will be moving to Windows/SQL and will just be as a reference system only. What I want to know is will we have to order a Migration Check as this isn't really a Productive system that needs moving?
Thanks
Simon.

So we could change the Client Role in scc4 to something other than production, i.e. Demo or Test and then do the migration that way?
The Migration Consultant is only needed to order the Migration Check so if this is not needed then any Basis person should be able to perform the migration.
Thanks
Simon

Server Migration check list

Dear BW Experts,
We are going to do an SAP BW(3.5 Version) offline for backup (from existing server), hardware migration(new server), followed by domain name changes (IP Address Change). New Server will be brought up for Oracle / BW re-configurations to update the new domain name. Please help me to prepare the migration check list & some documents about BW migration(Not hardware level, Domain Name & IP Address) . Thanks.

RR.

Hi,
Points to be kept, (not a version migration) Migrating from one system to other
1. Review the objects in both the systems and ensure they dont clash or overlap.
2. May be they had different source systems and you need to carefully look at all the source system dependent objects and re assign the source system.
3. Performing transports will be the one of the options for the move; in that case collect the objects in logical order starting with the info objects, data targets, info sources, update rules finally queries, roles, workbooks.
4. Review the master data and also the ODS to ensure the data dont overwrite; better to have a system identifier for the master data objects.
5. For the transaction data, approach will be to go with the EDW approach
6. For the same of reconciliation purposes, suggest to keep the Regional system, if exists, within the same region system separate and for reporting purposes, use infosets and multi cubes rather than loading data to the same data targets.

Migration Monitor question

Suppose there are 50 dedicated packages for top 50 table and 25 SAPXXXX package in total. I want to:
Load them order by size (seems this is the default setting in migtion monitor)
For those 50 tables, I need specify both DDL file and loadArgs
8 parallel processor used.
My questions:
1) ddlFile & ddlMap parameters can be used to specify the non standard DDL control file. I must set both those 50 & 25 packages into 2 group sections in ddlmap file? Or I can simply set 25 of them into ddlMap.txt and let sapinst use default value (set in import property file) for other 50 packages?
2) ddlMap file can be used to specify the additional loadArgs, such as "-loadprocedure fast LOAD" etc...?
3) If loadArgs must be used in orderby.txt (this is suggested in migration monitor guide), sapinst will not use order by size option, instead, it uses the line order, right?
4) Same as question 1, I must set both those 50 & 25 package into 2 group sections in orderby.txt?
5) If I need set those 50 & 25 packages. I want to know how to defined "package". Every file with STR extension in <exportdir>/DATA stands for a package, am i right? How about SAPVIEW.STR, it can be loaded before all packages are loaded completely?
The migration monitor guidd is really hard to fully understand. I can not find answer for about questions.
Thanks for you comment,
James

Neel,
Yes, you are right.
My test shows:
ddlMap control file just read group and ddlFile parameter information.
orderby control file does NOT recogonize ddlFile parameter, but loadArgs , no. of jobs are OK.
So you recommend to use same orderby.lst as both ddlMap & orderby control file, and put all parameters into the same orderby.lst. That is a good idea.
My test also shows:
We do NOT have to list all packages in orderby.lst. Packaged are not listed in orderby.lst will be assinged to a "default group" and use the default ddlFile, loadArgs parameters in property file. SAPNTAB will be checked at the first to identify the codepage. SAPVIEW will be loaded after all other packages are loaded successfully.
*Below is suitable for Ver640:
If we use group concept in orderby.lst, than each group (include "default group") get its own no. of jobs and orderby property. I do NOT find a way to specify individual loadArgs to each group but use a system wide orderby (order by size of all packages is a good suggestion during import) and no. of jobs parameter. In traditionaly sapinst mode, if we do not select "Use Migration Monitor" and select "Individual Configuration for Data Load" option, then we can specify ddlFile & loadArgs, and use a system wide orderby and no. of jobs parameter. So if there is loading conflict (example, you do not want to load 2 big packages at the same time), use Migration Monitor. If there is no loading conflict and more than 1 loadArgs, use "Individual Configuration for Data Load" option.
As for 700, I do not test this point. It works as ver640, I think.

Migration Assistant questions

I've been having issues with my MacBook .... intermittent it won't start up (freezes on gray screen), that I suspect indicates the hard drive is about to die. I've duly backed up everything via time machine to an external fire wire drive and ordered up a new hard drive.
I propose to do a fresh install of OSX from disc on the new drive and then migrate across my settings (don't want to restore from time machine in case it isn't the hard drive and is system software faults)... but hope someone could just clarify:
1. Will migration assistant bring over Mail, Address Book, Safari bookmarks, iTunes library and iPhoto library?
2. Should I de-authorize my iTunes on the old hard drive (subject to it staying alive long enough) before I remove it?
Any other tips appreciated
Steve

Options to further know if it's your HD.
You can perform a hardware test on the computer. check here to learn how to do this : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
Try booting from an install disk. hold the option key down when you power on your computer. choose the install disc, Run disk utility to verify the disk or use other similar software like disk warrior to see if the HD is bad.
TO ANSWER YOUR DIRECT QUESTIONS: with important information about Time Machine and Migration Assistant Utility
1. Will migration assistant bring over Mail, Address Book, Safari bookmarks, iTunes library and iPhoto library?
Yes. Migration Assistant Utility transfers documents, music, photos, applications, network settings, and preferences. It works on a user level by basically moving over your user account with everything in it. Migration Assistant DOES NOT transfer over the Operating system so you will have to install a fresh copy on the the new hard drive anyway.
Pulled from the Apple Site.
" If you’re setting up a new Mac(or HD) with files from an old Mac, *Time Machine* can help simplify the process. Just use Migration Assistant to copy portions of any Time Machine backup to a new Mac, or select *“Restore System from Time Machine”* in the Utilities menu on your *Mac OS X install disc*. Choose any date recorded in Time Machine to set up your new Mac exactly as your previous Mac was on that date."
2. Should I de-authorize my iTunes on the old hard drive (subject to it staying alive long enough) before I remove it?
You can leave this authorized because you are not installing in a new computer. iTunes will never know you changed hard drives
Good Luck
Matt

Migration - SID Question

Hi
This has probably already been asked, but I am unable to find it
We are using a cloud email provider currently, running exchange 2013. we are planning to migrate to Office 365 Exchange Plan.
I am absolutely fine with the migration plan, however previously when deleting a user on our internal active directly, and the corresponding cloud mailbox, when re creating the same user a few months later everyone had to delete that user from their cache
settings in Outlook to be able to email her again!.
I am therefore concerned that anyone with our cached details for any of our employees will no longer be able to email us post migration, and will need to re enter the email address from scratch.
From what ive read it appears to be an "internal" issue only, but I want to check this.
Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook client cannot send message to someone who store in Outlook Auto-Complete list and has been deleted in AD, even though you can recreate account with same name.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
It’s by design, the auto-complete list, also known as the nickname cache, is generated automatically as you send email messages from Outlook. The list contains SMTP addresses, LegacyExchangeDN, and display names for people that you have sent mail to previously.
If create an account with same name, the GUID and SID has been modified.
For your question, we have to run “Outlook.exe /CleanAutoCompleteCache” to reset the nickname and the automatic completion caches. More details, please refer to

Migration Assistant Question (From 10.4.11 to 10.5.5)

I have a question regarding Migration Assistant in regards to upgrading from Tiger to Leopard. I do backups of my entire internal HDD onto an external firewire drive using SuperDuper. I do not make a bootable drive, I backup to a disk image that can be mounted. My question is thus: when I upgrade and choose Erase and Install (if I want to), would I be able to use migration assistant on the disk image (once it is mounted) to move all my files over? Or would I have to make the external drive bootable in order to do this?
Any help you could give me would be great!
Message was edited by: pr0digal

Migration Assistant only works with Firewire drives, not disc images stored on Firewire drives. You would be better off re-cloning your drive directly to the Firewire drive to make a bootable image.
However, you need not do that to upgrade on the same computer. You have two upgrade options: Upgrade Install or Archive and Install. The latter puts a fresh install of Leopard on the hard drive without erasing the drive, and it saves your old system in a Previous System Folder. There is an option to transfer your user account(s) and network preferences. I would recommend using this option. The procedure follows:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Sun Web Server 6 to 7 Command Line Migration - Syntax Question

I have used the GUI-based migration tool in a development environment and it works flawlessly. However, in prod environments I cannot use the GUI as a matter of policy. In reading the 6x to 7x migration guide, the following example is included for command-line based migrations:
wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=*admin-pswd-file*][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=*rcfile*][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path
In looking at my 6 and 7 web server instances, I cannot locate a password file or the rcfile. Is the password file optional? Do you have to create one or does the server generate this for you? Also, what is the rcfile and where would I find it?
Thanks!

As a rule, any option mentioned b/w [ and ] is optional.
Both password-file and rcfile are provided to avoid any prompts by the CLI.
For example if the password-file is provided (with the passwords) then the CLI will not prompt for the passwords. If not, the CLI will prompt for passwords.
In the rcfile you may set variables for path to the password file, user name, standard option values like config name, vs name, etc.

Authorization check question

Hi all, I have a question regarding authority-check.
I have a program with some custom buttons, these buttons will show a small window where the user has to enter some data. This data then will be shown in an ALV grid, and also be saved in a custom table.
There are two buttoms, and I have to check is the user has authorization for each one of them. How do I do that? what would be the authorization object? and what would be the activity?. does the authorization object needs to be created somewhere? if so, can you give me the transaction?.
TIA Mauro.

Hello,
You can create your own authorization object using Tcode SU21. Use the authorization object when he clicks on the button.

System Migration Check up

Hi Friends,
We have planned to migrated our Production systems to a different hardware. Operating system and Database remains the same. Does SAP provides any Check on the system after this homogenous system migration ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi,
If you have got Enterprise Support from SAP, you are eligible to get some feedback on the migration process and post migration tuning. For this you may need to raise an OSS message to SAP support.
Hope this helps.

AP Checks Question

We are beginning to look at printing signatures on our AP checks with something like Evergreen and a number of other customizations. However I would like to look into simply sending all the payment information to a Automated Clearing House (ACH) and let them handle the Checks, EFT or what every and we would not have to be concerned with signing or even printing checks.
If any one has any experience or ideas along this line please share.

What is your EBS version ? Have you explored printing checks on your own using XML Publisher ? It would be cheaper then using an ACH, I believe. We use this method without any special printers or stock.

Spell checking question

I have Mail set to automatically check spelling before it sends an email. Currently, Mail starts checking after where the cursor is positioned (so after what I just typed) and checks all the content in the message. In long threads, where messages have a lot of quoted text, it's a huge pain to have to keep clicking "ignore" as it works it's way through the quoted text -- after all, how asinine is it to correct past exchanges in the thread?
So my question is: is there a way to have Mail start its auto spell-check at the beginning of an email, regardless of where the cursor is, and only check text with a quote level of zero?
Thanks.

It doesn't do what you want, but ...
I have it set to check as I type, so it just underlines in red whatever it finds. I can then choose to fix it or ask it (control-click the underlined word) or ignore it without having the prompt appearing on every error.

BT ADSL Checker Questions

Hi all,
Newbie here. Just moved here from Australia and looking to get BT in my rental apartment.
Question 2:
I get different package results if I put in
"1 **** Court"
vs
"Flat 1, **** Court"
(even though they are the same address).
If I put in "1" - I can select the up to 40Mbps unlimited plans, whereas if I put in "Flat 1" then I only see the 20Mbps plans. Which should I believe?
Thanks,

Migration Documentation question

Hi,
We are trying to follow the "How To Migrate from SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0 SP6 to SAP NetWeaver '04" documentation, but have questions and open OSS messages.
Does anyone have a set of documentation and or notes that can be followed to a completion of the migration? Any additional notes that may not be in the documentation or at least clear in the documentation?
Open questions:
1. Question on connectivity to the EP5 system from NW04 for migration; In the above mentioned documentation on page 42 in the section 3.2.8 "Defining and Configuring a System for EP5" number 4, it asks for an EP50 Server Port. Is this the default port 80 or is there a way to determine which port to use for this entry?
2. Page not displayed on service configuration; We have our NW04 SP14 Portal build working with Windows Integrated Authentication and our corporate LDAP for Single Sign On with our network ID's. When we login
to the Portal with our network id, we get "Page cannot be displayed" when navigating to System Administration-> System Configuration-> Service Configuration to add the migration key. If we login as Administrator, we can see the Service Configuration page and drill down
to applications - >UpgraderService.
Why does this page not render with our network id's as our network id's have the same roles as Administrator?
Any thoughts on the above questions and any help with better documentation will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rick

Thanks, I appreciate your input!
