Overwriting Dev and Stage DB's with Production creates Missing Dependencies

When I refresh my Dev and Stage environments by restoring the DBs with those from Production, I get numerous Missing Dependency errors.
We have lots of custom WSPs, and I think that the cause is that the production WSPs are overwriting those in the other environments without first retracting/deleting them.
Is there a way to restore without creating these errors?
Thanks,
Scott

if the custom WSP is deployed as a sandbox solution, then it'll be included in the content database refresh.
the missing dependency stuff is all about finding GUIDs that SharePoint can't resolve... whether that's a web part or a feature.
The retraction/deletion process doesn't actually clean up contents in the content database (web parts in use, etc)... it just handles the synchronous deployment of the feature between servers. So regardless of how a custom WSP is deployed/updated/etc, missing
dependencies can happen.
The question you need to address, is tracking down the missing dependencies, and determining whether they are still in use in PROD (perhaps the component was removed, but the web part still exists on a page), and if so making sure it's also available in
DEV/TEST... assuming it's necessary... if a web part isn't available in DEV/TEST, maybe it doesn't matter, and maybe the missing dependency isn't an issue.

    iam sorting it by vbeln and posnr ....
    and deleting the adjacent duplicates ....comparing veln and posnr...
    both are same ..in 20 records .
    but iam fetching the adrees number at first in the loop.

  • Any issues with having Personalization in Dev and not Production

    Hi, I'm wondering if there are any issues with having Personalization configured in our Dev and not Production?  If you run a create a query or Web Template in Dev with personalization and transport it to production which doesn't have personalization will that be a problem?
    Anyone?

    It should not be a problem.
    Personalization just saves values for a variable in an ODS on the current server. The values don't get saved along with the query, they just reference the query ID (if saved for the query only).
    Hope this helps...

  • Org.structure differs on dev and production

    Hi,
    I'm developing a workflow and in one of the steps (activity step), I assign agent using organizational structure (position from HR). The problem is, that the org.structure differs on dev system and on production system. Mainly the IDs of position posts differ. How to solve this? Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Tomas

    > thanks for answer, I guess that's the best way of handling such situation. I'm going to creat custom table holding position used in workflow mapped to real position ID from org.structure. Or more generally, holding WF post mapped to org.structure type (position, job, ...) with corresponding ID in org.
    I don't see why you need a custom table?
    The org issues aside, all that is needed is to assign your org unit to the task. Then leave the agent assignment blank in your WF. Job done.
    The other option is to create a dummy rule, which you thought was to be avoided. I don't agree, it takes 5 minutes, less effort than a table, less non-standard stuff ==> less explaining to people how to maintain & easier to troubleshoot.
    Edit: Forgot to answer your other question
    > I'm not sure if you consider org. replication the same as transport of org. I was thinking of transport myself, just didn't know the way how to. I've found transaction RE_RHMOVE30 (also acessible from customizing), that should do that, but am not sure, if that's the right one and/or what options to select when transporting. Also, I'm not sure if this would ensure the position/job IDs are the same on both systems.
    Replication would be carried out via transports. The RHMOVE* reports can also be used, or you could even set up an ALE connection between DEV and PRD. However I still would not recommend it. The development system is where you would need to create test users and/or org units. The other alternative is to have a master data client. All of these are a great deal of work which only make sense in certain types of environments - certainly not for the sake of a workflow.

    I have upgraded to Lion, and want to upgrade my iPhoto 8.1.2, but when I try it says it was not purchased at a MAC Apple store, which it was.  Then it asks if I want to buy 9.2.3, and I say yes. It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified. Maybe damaged or not signed.  How do I get this fixed, so I can download the new iphoto's that are available.

    How did you move your iPhoto library to the new system?  the recommended way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Report working in different ways in BI Dev and  BI production

    Hi Expert,
    I have created a Report in which i am giving input to the variable(Date input) and using this i am displaying all the values that is till the date that i entered, and it is working fine in BI dev, but in BI production it is showing only data that is equal to supplied date only.
    Although i had checked all the restrictions and variables are as it is transported.
    if you have an idea please share your knowledge please...
    Regards
    Prakash

    Hi,
    Are you using this date variable in the global filter or in any of the local KFs?
    Are you using the operand 'less than or equal to' for getting all the values less than or equal to this date?
    Is this operand same in both the systems?
    Is there data in production prior to the date range that you have entered?
    Can you check the information on the report output to find out what value is captured in this date variable?
    What is the last changed date of the queries in dev and Production?
    I hope any of the above should give a clue to solve your issue.
    Thanks.

    How to enable private mode from commandline, with an URL.
    I am a software dev and I wish to have my application open links in Firefox.
    Using ShellExecute(), i can do with with commandlines like:
    firefox.exe http://support.mozilla.org
    But I also want the option to open the link in private mode.
    I am able to start firefox in private mode by doing this:
    firefox.exe -private
    However, if I add a link to the command line
    firefox.exe -private http://support.mozilla.org
    I get strange results.
    If firefox is not running, it launches 2 copies of the application.
    One that opens in private mode and the other opens in normal mode and goes to the URL specified.
    If firefox is already running, it just opens the URL in a new tab.
    No private mode instance is launched.
    Am I using the command-line syntax incorrectly?

    It will never work if Firefox is already running as Firefox will use the already opened Firefox instance.<br />
    In that case only using a separate profile will work.
    You can try to specify the -url switch as well.
    *firefox.exe -private -url http://support.mozilla<i></i>.org
    You can also look at the -new-tab switch.
    *firefox.exe -private -new-tab http://support.mozilla<i></i>.org
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options

  • Dev and Production BW systems not in sync.

    Hello All,
    We have been using two BW systems for our implementation project. One is the development and second one is production BW system. I observed that few BW objects have different configuration (like update rules, user exits, queries , web templates…etc…) in the production compared to the development system.  Now my requirement is to find out the all the BW objects in the production that having different status than development.  So that I can make corresponding changes in the development system as well in order to sync dev and production systems.
    1.     Is there any tool/transaction is available by which I can retrieve the list of the BW objects and may be delta changes between dev and prd systems.
    2.      Or any standard process exists to sync the both versions.
    Any help to this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Harsh.

    Hi Harsh,
    For the Transfer rules/update rules you can do a remote compare of the Generated Program which would give you an idea whether they are in sync or not. Likewise you can do remote compare of the User exit fn module.
    Bye

  • Importing Program from Production System to DEV and QAS.

    Hi All,
    I have 3 Systems in my Landscape.

    This Z program is got deleted in the DEV and QAS.
    How can I import the Program from Production System to QAS and DEV.
    Regards,

    hi Vijaya laxmi,
    you can goto Production system ---> SE38/ SA38 and copy the program and create the same in program using SE38 in Development system  and then transport it to Quality system.
    You can also Re-Import the Request from Production to Dev system.

  • Using same webdypro iview with DEV and QAS

    Dear Sir,
    We have the webdynpro program iview in EP 7.0 , however, I would like to change the same webdynpro iveiw with different client in Sap DEV and QAS,  Is it possible? Or how to change the connection to SAP system.
    Please kindly advise.
    Thank you and best regards,
    Vimol

    Vimol,
    Yes, you can do it.
    Procedure :
    Logon to NWDS : -> Windows-> Preferances->J2ee Engine
    First mention the QAS system on which you want to deploy the application.
    Then change these parameters and point to the DEV system.
    Now, you have finished deploying the application in both the servers successfully.
    1.Logon to the QAS system
    http://fqdn:portnumber/sld
    2.login as a J2ee_admin
    3.Create a technical system and test the jcos that you are using in your application there. After the JCOs are tested and pinged successfully, run the application and test.
    4. Finally, create a web dynpro iview and assign it to the users or roles you want.
    Repeat the same steps for your DEV system and you are good to go.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Global ATP with product allocations and SD returns

    Dear all,
    We have  been setting up an implementation scenario with an ECC 6.0 and SCM 5.0 system which verifies SD orders versus SCM product allocations.
    With SD orders and SD contracts everything works fine. But we have a problem with using SD returns (same material and plant used like the SD orders): We would expect the system also to check the returns for product allocation quantities but it seems that the SCM availability check does not enter the product allocation procedure at all (we have some user-exits in use but these are only accessed when we go via SD orders, no access at all for SD returns).
    Is there any special setting which we have to activate in order to have the SD returns properly processed with product allocations? (Customizing "Set the Transfer of Returns to SAP APO" within ECC is activated) The system somewhere gets stuck during the check within the SCM system.
    Thanks for providing assistance regarding this matter.
    Kind regards,
    Klemens

    Hi folks, did you resolve your issue here? I assume what you are wanting is for the Returns order to free up allocations qtys that had previously been consumed by the originating sales order, that is, incoming orders qty should be reduced by the amount of the returns order. I know that when a sales order line item is rejected the incoming order qty is reduced, but I'm not sure it is possible for a returns order to do this.
    ATP Man, are you saying that as category BZ is not supported by Allocations that it is therefore not possible for the Incoming Orders Qty to be reduced  by a Returns Order? I have a business reequirement to do exactly that.
    If it is not possible to do this through the automatically via the ATP check, the only way I can think to address this, would be to try and transfer the Returns qty to SCM after the order is saved and then to have a macro that reads the returns qty and reduces the Incoming Orders qty by the qty of the return.
    Paul.

    Hi mansons67992701,
    No purchase is required to install Flash Player.  The offer you're seeing is optional.  There should be a yellow 'Install Now' button on the bottom right of the page. Is the button not displaying?  Please post a screenshot of the page (How to post a screenshot in the forum).

  • Protal in DEV and Production

    I am a little confused. I want to be able to develop prolets in DEV (development) database
    and then deploy it to production. Is there an easy way to accomplish this.
    Thanks
    null

    Thanks for the tip. Does this mean that I have to install the heavy duty repository on Production as well as Development machine. Seems to me a big overhead. If only I could connect to the production repository to retrieve the data at runtime. Has anyone run into this issue or am I the only one ??.
    I was hoping that it would run somewhat like Oracle Designer Product. Can somebody from Oracle confirm this
