Partial copy of the Database

Hello!
I need to make a partial copy of the Database, as I do from the sap? or how can I make from oracle? if possible?
What we require is to make a copy of the configuration data SPROM and a copy two months ago of data
greetings!

Hello,
QAS (or test) systems should be build the cleanest way possible.
Remote client copy is not something I would advise. It requires to have source and target systems align with the same structure (same SP, same transport level,u2026), and it will transport client dependant objects, until you specify to move also client independent objects, then it will overwrite the objects in the target system (development, printer definitions, RFC,u2026). 
NRIV table should not be copied between systems, even a subset of this table. Number range should be adjusted individually on each system.
Also, if your systems are validated by regulation or industry standards (pharma, banking,u2026), you can not overwrite your QAS from any system (DEV or PRD)
But we are still not sure about Edithu2019s motivation, and what she means by partial restore. Is it motivated to get master and transactional data in QAS to test for the next Go-live rollout? Is it a copy from the production system? Is it to align PRD and QAS in term of customizing in order to prepare for the next rollout because there is a change management gap between 2 systems? Is it to get an older version of customizing?
Thanks in advance
Best regards.

  • Install with a copy of existing database

    I am wondering if anybody had tried this:
    suppose you have a LiveCycle ES 8.0 running, all's well; let's call this system "A".
    now, you need to bring up another LC ES system on a separate server machine. let's call this system "B".
    But, since there are 2000 forms/processes in system "A" already,
    and you don't want to Import + Configure all those 2000 forms from "A" to "B", because it's a time-consuming, tedious and extremely boring work.
    So, is it possible to
    make a copy of the LCES database of system "A",
    and,
    during the install/configure/deploy LC ES onto "B", we configure "B" to connect to the COPY of the database (instead of letting the configuration manager configure/initialize a brand new database for B).
    would that work?
    if so, what would be the exact procedure?
    thanks

    Hello,
    Maybe the TargetDatabase and the DeployToDatabase properties can help you.

  • How to recovery the database from a complete backup

    I have a 10.2.0.3 database with archive log enabled.
    I do a cold backup of database every Sunday night.
    I shutdown the database, copy all the database files, control files and redo logs to a backup disk.
    Then the database started and running again.
    I am trying to test my backup and make sure I can recovery the database to the most current stage using the Sunday backup and the archive logs.
    for example: use the backup from 4/01/2012, recover the database to today 4/04/2012 9:00am.
    What's the steps of doing this?
    I tried to copy all the Sunday backup files to the correct location, start the database, the database is started successfully. However, I don't know how to apply the logs from since the Sunday backup upto now.
    Thanks a lot!

    hi,
    rman is your friend to do backups, restores and recovers of database.
    to do a full recover of database, for example to do a test on your current test database (no in crash):
    rman time:
    startup nomount;
    restore controlfile;
    alter database mount;
    sql now
    select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;
    then go back to rman and do the following :
    RMAN> run{
    2> set until scn xxxxxx;
    3> restore database;
    4> recover database;
    5> alter database open resetlogs;
    6> }
    **where xxxxx is the result of your sql query
    HTH
    --edit:
    forgot to told that You will need to set your ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID env variables

  • MS Access - Failed to retrieve data from the database

    Hello,
    I've developed a quite complex report (CR XI) from a SQL Server 2005 database. The report contains a number of inner and outer joins and a subreport.
    I have a duplicate copy of the database held in MS Access. If I attempt to change the datasource location to the MS Access database, I'm unable to run the report and get the following error:
    Failed to retrieve data from the database.
    Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
    Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
    Description: Join expression not supported.
    SQL State: 3000
    Native Error: -540806602 (Database Vendor Code: -540806602)
    By changing every outer join to an inner, the report pulls in data but obviously not what is required. It seems as though it doesn't like the outer joins.......
    Would this be in some way due to limitations with the JET database engine?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Offline copy of SQL Database in Visual Studio Community Edition?

    I'm using an Azure Mobile Service and SQL database, and I'm interacting with it via Visual Studio Community Edition (12.0.31101.00 Update 4).
    I'm often offline, but want to work on and test the SQL code.  Is there a way to sync a local copy of the database to my pc so I can work with that to test my code?  I'm not necessarily looking to make changes to the database offline and syncing
    that back to the server, although that would be nice too.
    Thanks!

    Hello Scott,
    You could use SQL Data Sync to synchronize your local copy of the database with the Azure SQL database. The details are documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh456371.aspx. 
    PS - the SQL Data Sync feature is still in preview and the support is only through forums.

  • Copying a template database

    hey,
    I am wondering how to copy a template database I have created (templte.mdb)to another directory using SQL. I am writing a program in java and using the javax.sql package. The way the program operates is that at 12 o clock at night a new database is created for that date 2 year ahead. So for example tonight at 12 o'clock a copy of the database (template.mdb) would be placed in the folder c://databases//2006//march//..... The problem is that I dont know the commands to copy the template database exactly. I need to keep the same column names,structure etc in all the databases!
    Any help would be greatly appricated
    Stephen

    An Access database file....
    1. Put a blank database into a directory.
    2. Copy that file using Runtime.exec() to the destination directory, giving it a new name.
    3. Start using it.

  • How to make more than one person can access the database at one time

    how to make  more than one person can access the database at one time 

    Please post further f'up's in the Access forum.
    In short: for different reasons it is best practice that each user gets its own local copy of the database. This means that you need to split it into a front-end which only consists of the forms, queries, reports etc. Everything which doesn't need to be
    shared. And a back-end, which only stores the data.
    Take also a look at Allen Browne's article:
    Split your Access database into data and application.
    When you've splitted your database, you may often consider to use SQL Server as back-end. Here you may read Armen Stein's
    The Best of Both Worlds: Access-SQL Server Optimization.

  • "Table VSEOPARENT is not in the database" after SolMan system copy to x64

    Hi SDNners,
    We've just completed a system copy of our SolMan 3.1 system onto a new
    (Xeon x64 based) server. This system copy is part of the process of
    moving SolMan 3.1 from an old server onto 64bit hardware and then
    upgrading it to SolMan v4 and Oracle 10G.
    Although the system appears to start properly in the MMC, we are unable
    to log into the system through SAPGUI - we get a SYNTAX_ERROR window
    instead of a logon screen.
    I've checked the SysLog from within the MMC and noticed a number of
    errors stating:
    Database: Table VSEOPARENT is not in the database
    Database: Table VSEOIFIMPL is not in the database
    Database: Table VSEOIFCOMP is not in the database
    I tried running SQL command 'select * from "SAPSOL"."VSEOPARENT"; and
    it confirmed that the table didn't exist. I then ran the same command
    on the source SolMan system and it showed that VSEOPARENT DID exist. I
    don't understand how these VSEO* tables could have gone missing between
    the source and target systems.
    I've searched OSS for VSEO* and cannot find anything. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Arwel.

    We have 640 kernel, ECC 5.0 and BASIS patch 23.
    For me the problem was with SAPVIEW table wasnt imported from source to target becuase SAPVIEW.STR file was 0 byte. STR files gets created in export preparation phase.
    It did happen because on source side master DVD, there was no option for export preparation. I had only option for tablesplit and export db.
    I did use ECC 5.0 SR2 Master DVD which had option for export preparation phase and that created SAPVIEW.STR file.
    Using migration monitor I did re-export and re-import and this time all views are imported in target.
    Regards,
    Mamadi.

    Hi Arwel,
    how exactly did you copy the database to the new server?
    the tables you stated are an essential part of the ABAP runtime environment, so the syntax error is surely because of these tables are missing.

  • Delete partially copied movie file from iPhone. Shows grayed out in Videos on the iPhone but it doesn't show up in iTunes.

    Hello.
      I have synced my iPhone 4S with iTunes and I got an error while copying one movie. Now this movie shows up grayed out in videos on the iPhone but NOT in iTunes. Hence, I cannot delete this partially copied movie from my iPhone. And since it is grayed out, the right-to-left swipe does not work. I have resynced with "no movies" option so that every movie would be deleted and indeed every movie was deleted except for the problematic one. I rebooted the iPhone several times in case it was a glitch. No success. I even tried tools like iExplorer and DiskAid but I cannot find this **** file. Is there any way to delete this partially copied file from the iPhone without having to restore it?
    Regards,
    HawkeyeQ

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
