Patches difference in development, quality & production

Hi,
Our Development & Quality environment is on patchlevel
SAP_ABA 700 0018
SAP_BASIS 700 0018
PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 0018
SAP_BW 700 0020
Our Production server is on
SAP_ABA 700 0019
SAP_BASIS 700 0019
PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 0019
SAP_BW 700 0021
Golive is next week. already developments and configuration are moved to quality and testing is going on.
Now i want to upgrade the patches in dev & quality to production level.
After that only i ll move the transports to production.
Please suggest us whether any problems will come in developments & configurations when the transports are moved to production.
Regards,
Raj

It's difficult to commnet on.
Best is building a Sandbox by copying production system , moving all those transports there and test. Then if everything is fine, upgrade quality and devlopment.
But in any case , do you want to downgrade production patch level if any problem occurs after moving the transports to PRD?
If the answer is NO, then you can upgrade quality first and test new patch level. If you find any problem try to solve that ( may be by applying some notes or rasing a message with SAP)
I can make sure at least PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 0018 upgrade will not pose any problem.

SAP TAO,What is the purpose of Development,Quality,Production environment?

Hi All,
What is the significance of Development,Quality,Production environment under license tab of configuration in SAP TAO.
Which environment has to be selected for better operatability of SAP TAO functions.
Thanks and Regards,
Ujwal Kandimalla

Hi,
As TAO deals with the testing aspect, a 3 system landscape is recommended:
DEV : For unit testing
QA: For system testing and integrated testing
PRD: Has to be available for production usage
You could also have a Pre-Prod for load and UAT.

MII Development - Quality - Production promotion

Hi
Does anyone has experience in promotion of MII projects from Development to Production via SAP standard transporation?.
What we currently doing is transfer (export imports) of MII projects from one server to another server (i.e Development server to Test server and then to Production Server). I know there is CTS. Is CTS onyl available for ABAP or also available for MII?
Issues that we face during the transfer (import and exports) are
- The System connections and Data Servers' names have to be rename to have exact name as in the current system.
- The SQL code , has to be rename to match for each system. Especially if you work with Schema (writing schema names in the SQL code).
- This means the development has a lot of dependency for each current systems.
How do you deal with that???

Hi,
Your current promotion or transport process is common for MII 12.0 customers. New in 12.1 is the ability to use content management within the workbench for your MII objects. It uses [NWDI|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/48/cfd8b4c1d310b4e10000000a421138/content.htm] to do this. You may want to research it further.
The [MII 12.x best practice |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f08d7ae2-6f56-2c10-50b4-8a3bb1d43502]guide talks about naming your data servers so that you don't have to change them when you transport. You should look into it and make some changes.

Source system in Development & Quality & Production

Dear Experts,
Normally we do developments in Development server,so we create source system connection to R3 Development server (say 120) and create DataSources, DTP and process chains based on the Source system 120.
Now my Doubt is when we transport the developments to QAS, how will i get the data from R3 Quality Server 500 (because my developments -DataSources, DTP,Infopackages and process chains are connected to R3 dev 120).
how should i do this?
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Regards
BI Learner

Hi Friend,
In general this connections done by Basis people.
So in your case automatically mapped quality r/3 to bw quality, but first replicate changes from r/3 quality to bw quality before moving changes from bw dev to bw quality.
this scenerio is normal wherever you go either in production perspective also.
SAP BW(Dev)---->SAP BW(Quality) and simaltaneously mapped SAP R/3(120)--->SAP BW(Dev),SAP R/3(500)---->SAP BW(Quality)
llly mapped production also, this is general landscape.
I try to give scenerio and hope it should helps out.
Thanks-RK

Development, Quality , Production server

Dear Experts,
I am new to SAP HR , Can some one help to understand the following terms.
1. Development server , where it has more clients. I am not able to understand it , like why it is being used.
2. Quality server - What is the purpose of it ?
3. Production server - what is the purpose of it ?
As a SAP HCM Functional consultant, what is our role in this 3 server ? If we need to make some changes where we need to do the configuration ?
4. Also please let me know what is Transport request ?
Waiting for the valuable reply from you experts.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
In the Development system the SAP ERP is being configured: Customizations are done by the different processes consultants, developments are done by the programmers, etc.
The main system is the Production system - this is the system where the end-users work.
The end-user are required to perform checks and quality-assurance processes before the different programs and table are transported to the production system - these checks are performed on the Quality Assurance (QA) system.
Each system may have several clients, E.G., the Development system has the main client (usually its 100) - in which the consultants and developer perform the configurations, and another client (e.g. 110 or 120) - in which they can test the configuration.
Each system usually sits on different server. This is the call of the organizational IT department and the BASIS system. They will tell you how to logon to each system.
The transport request, his name suits him, is being used to transport customizations and developments from client to client and from system to system.

Liran

RFC destination in FM for development, quality & production server

Hi all,
I have a doubt in RFC enabled FMs..
The RFC destination wil be different for dev, quality & prodn.
Whn we do dev, we wil use RFC for Dev in Code & execute.
Do we need to change the code whn we move to quality & thn again whn moving to prdn?
How is this handled?? Is there any std. table where we can maintain this?
Need help on this
Thanks,
Sivagami

hi,
no need to chage this this means that that particular FM can be called from any other system as its RFC enabled.if one FM is not RFC enable then it can be execuetd on that parent server only we cant call if frm outside.

Tcode in production client but not in development & quality client

I am facing this particular situation, I am seeing a particular Ztode which is in production client but not in development & quality client
Is it possible to have a tcode in production client but not in development & quality client, If yes what would be the reasons for maining in production client but not in development & quality client

It could be a local object that a person who has developer access in production created. This is unusual, but not unheard of.
Or the transaction could have been deleted in DEV and the deletion transported to QA but not PRD.

Transport layer SAP between development & quality

Should we have to use two transport layers ( SAP& ZDEV(created )) between the development & quality system as their consolidate route ?
Transport layer
SAP- Transport layer for SAP standard objects
ZDEV- Transport layer between Devlopment & quality systems
I assigned the consolidate route ZDEV between the Development & quality systems.Now ,How can I assign the transport layer SAP between the both systems as a consolidate route. Help me with your steps..

HI,
Z<SID> and SAP both are consolidation route as well as transport layer having different characteristic.
->A transport routes can be either a consolidation route or a delivery route. For a standard three-system
landscape, the transport routes are as follows:
-> A consolidation route connects the development system and the quality assurance system. This
transport layer is named Z<SID>, where <SID> is the system ID of the development system.
->A delivery route is created between the quality assurance system and the production system.
->In the development system, if changes are made to objects whose development class refers to the
(standard) transport layer corresponding to a consolidation route, these changes are recorded in
requests and transported to the quality assurance system and then to the production system.
If you change SAP objects, these changes are recorded in repairs, which can be transported in the
same way but using the consolidation route "SAP".

Setting up a Quality/Production System-- Pl suggest

Dera All,
We are on SRM 7.0 and ERP-EHP4. We have a development Server and have configured the SRM and ECC for the Extended Classic. What is the best approach to create a Quality/Production System?. I Have gone through the document System Transport and Copy too and have a couple of questions.
1. Do We need to perform a client copy with SAP_Cust from Development to Quality and Quality to Production? and then do the necessary settings for Product Categories/Products/Business Partners and Org Model Transport etc...?
2. Is System copy a good option?. ( The document suggests not to go for System Copy for setting up Quality/Production Systems from Development Server)
Pl suggest.
Thanks and Regards

Dear All,
Any suggestions. Can you pl share how this is being handled in your current projects?.
Thanks in advance

How to transfer request from Development to Production

Hi,
Can anybody tell me Step by Step procedure to transfer request form Dev. to Prod.

Hi
It depends how many enviroments you have and the transport routes is defined: anyway I can suppose there are development, quality and production system.
So:
- A) U have to release the request in dev system (trx SE09 or SE10): after releasing the request the system will move it to the queue of quality system.
After the step A u need to use only the trx STMS in all next enviroments in order to transfer the request to the production.
- B) It needs to import the request to the quality system:
- run trx STMS,
- press the first icon (with a truck);
- double click on the quality queue
- refresh the list;
- place the cursor on the request;
- Go to Request->Import
After importing the requet to the quality, the system will place it in the production queue, so now it needs to repeat the step B, but u have to choose the production queue:
- C) It needs to import the request to the production system:
- run trx STMS,
- press the first icon (with a truck);
- double click on the production queue
- refresh the list;
- place the cursor on the request;
- Go to Request->Import
Sometimes the system is setted not to transfer the request to the next queue after importing it, in this case u need to transfer it by yourself (trx STMS):
After choosing the right queue go to: Request->Forward->System
Anyway yuo should consider the steps above should be done by your basis, so perhaps u have no authoriations to run trx STMS.

Development, quality and produntion servers.

Hi All,
please let me know the the procedure in which data are transferred from development server to quality server and from there to production server.
Also give an example of how the testing is done in the quality server.
Does consultant have any job to be done in the production server?

Hi
Your understanding is correct.
Development -
> Quality
Move TRs from Development to Quality till the time it is working as expected by business / comitted to business....
Development -
> Production
Once the results in Quality (post UAT) are satisfactory, move the TRs from development to Production....
Good Luck !!!!

Transport ALE Configuration from Development to Production System

Hello All,
We have created ALE-IDOC scenario in the development system and its working fine. Now we want to transport it to the Production / Quality system. How can we transport the settings like logical systems, port definition, partner profiles, distribution model , RFC destinations from one system to another system??
Because the client numbers are different for development , quality and production systems.. Do we need to transport the logical system and client assignment using STMS or create directly in the target system??
Thanx in advance...

The issue with transporting the ALE distribution model is that the source and target logical system names change between the dev, test and prod environments.
Assume an ECC6 and PI landscape with dev/test/prod called E6D/E6T/E6P and PID/PIT/PIP with all systems using client 100. By default (SAP recommendation) the logical system name for E6D client 100 is E6DCLNT100 and its PI partner in the dev landscape will be PID client 100 with logical system name PIDCLNT100. In test the logical system names will be E6TCLNT100 and PITCLNT100 and in prod E6PCLNT100/PIPCLNT100.
So, when a distribution model is set up in dev with a source system of E6DCLNT100 sending messages to a target system PIDCLNT100 everything works nicely. This assumes that the PIDCLNT100 logical system partner in WE20/WE21 is mapped to a port which maps to an RFC destination pointing to client 100 of PID.
When this model is transported to the test system it won't work because the logical system names are wrong.
It is possible to create a logical system name called PISERVER in SALE and then map that, via WE20/WE21 to point to the corresponding PI instance. Thus in E6D, WE21 would map logical system PISERVER to the RFC destination for PIDCLNT100 but in E6T the mapping would link to RFC destination PITCLNT100 and in E6P to PIPCLNT100. In this way any ABAP programming trying to use the ALE distribution model would send messages to PISERVER and would be transportable.
However, setting up the source system in the same way appears to be impossible. When attempting to generate partner profiles, transaction BD82 stubbornly insists that the source system for which it will build profiles MUST be the logical system name defined for the execution client in SCC4. Theoretically, mapping similar to that for PISERVER could be performed for ECC6SERVER and the ALE distribution model could be built to send messages from ECC6SERVER to PISERVER but BD82 won't honour this source system.
This appears to make it impossible to transport an ALE Distribution Model. Can anybody provide a process to overcome this apparent architectural limitation?

Difference between Business Objects products

We have add-on applicaion on R/3 System and use it to gerate some reports, queries, analysis with in that application. We are exploring how Business Objects could be useful to enhance this application's output. We don't have BW system. This is just on R/3 system only.
From my limited knowledge about BusinessObjects, I was thinking to decide using one of the following product.
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Premium (User) or
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Prof. for Query, Reporting, Analysis (User)
I would appreciate if you share your thoughts about difference between these two products. Is this right product or any other BusinessObject product we should consider.
Thanks,
Digesh Joshi

SAP is offering variety of licensing polices with taking consideration of SAP with NW BI, SAP without NW BI and non SAP but BO customer in mind : Single licensing if someone choose full fledge service offering otherwise there is different segment wise licensing also there.
