Delete TMS configuration from all affected systems and recreate it.

CUA setup for a refreshed system copy

IF I copy a system that is under CUA, do I have to remove CUA first?
Or can I copy the system and on the target system, delete the CUA?
What is the best practice for system refreshed and CUA?
Thanks
Weyland

Hi,
Yes, you have to detach the CUA first, before starting with client copy to avoid inconsitency..
Like Client Copy profile includes User Master Records from the source client (SAP_ALL or SAP_USER profile), you should deactivate CUA in the target client.Otherwise, the users in the target client will remain untouched. If you
don't need to copy the User Masters from the source, use a client copy profile that excludes User Master Records,
Also check the pending Idocs to be processed in target client before detaching from CUA. Correct the logical system name and RFC after system copy to make it again functional with CUA.
Cheers

System Refresh of GRC 5.3 system

Hi Gurus,
Our client has putforth a requirement of refreshing the GRC 5.3 development system in our landscape with the data of GRC 5.3 production system. I could find document for Homogeneous System Copy for standalone Java engines in Service Marketplace. But, i was not able to find any document specific to GRC 5.3 system refresh.
Please guide me in providing help in the system copy procedure so that i can take the necessary precautions in doing the system refresh.

Ragav

Hi,
I am not sure on the reasons for system refresh. Look at the below points:
1. The RAR data c(Rules, Functions, Risks etc) an be downloaded and uploaded in the Development environment. Why you need the production user data in Development?
2. The SPM users are intended for production. Why you are planning to copy/simulate them in development?
3. The ERM and CUPs are workflows, where the systems and other settings have to be created manually. What is your intention in getting them to development?
As per my knowledge, no system refresh is performed for GRC systems? May be you need to educate the client on these things. Please look for the ideas from the other experts too before you go back to your client.
Hope this helps!!
Warm Regards,
Raghu

System Refresh: Abap+Java stack

Have a few questions about CRM refresh I'm working on. Done many refreshes over the years and the new process has me shaking my head in disbelief.
Performed a normal system refresh, by restoring online backup of production system onto mirror system. The mirror system exactly matches my production sytem (Oracle 10g, SuSE Linux 64 bit, UNICODE).
Now my system is running from Abap stack perspective, however Java components fail to load.
Now from reading the documentation (System Copy for SAP, Based on SAP Netweaver 2004s Abap+Java) it appears that I have to use sapinst and no longer use online database backups for system refreshes.
Is this the case? Has the investment my organization made into online backups now worthless?
Is there a way to take the java schema in this online copied database and bring it online after converting it to work on the mirror landscape?
Or should I throw out our system methodology and start new

Thank you for the reply.
Reading SAP's documentation seems to imply that I need to extract out the java schema from my production source and then re-install on my QA target to make a refresh of the java stack possible.
However, if I have a complete copy of my source system database working on the target, why is the extract necessary?
At least, I should be able to extract out the contents from the source as if it was the target, thereby eliminating any sort of production outages (we have many constraints about shutting down production from fuctional perspective).
I'll do some research around the other tools mentioned to see if they can lend a hand fixing the issue,

System refresh from Production to Quality

Hi,
We are going for system refresh from Production to Quality. We are at SAP NetWeaver 2004s with 700 release and at 0021 level. Our data base system is DB6 with the release 09.07.0000
I understand that there is a note 886102 available for the system copy. But I would like to know how that had been practically implemented from your ready documents like
1. What would be the BI consultant role during the refresh (I mean where do we involve at). I have seen many links related to this but nothing answer my question, so please don't give me links available.
2. How to identify tables that need to be copied and restored to retain the correct source systems for data/info sources.
3. What should be the BI consultant task before refresh?
4. What should be the BI consultant task post refresh?
5. What are issues faced post refresh in quality system.
I request, the consultant who had worked on these refresh can provide me correct solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Our prerefresh activities included
Inform security team to do no user or authorisation changes for quality during the refresh.
Set message in development to not release any transports anymore and set message in quality to inform users in quality not to manually import transports into quality and also not approve transports for production. This ensures no transports get moved to quality and production.
Switch off cyclic import all job (like TMS_0000000038TMS_TP_IMPORT) and the cyclic RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS job
Prepare list of transports for re-import to quality after refresh and give this to BASIS.
Post refresh activities included
Tcodes SM37, SM35 and SP01. Check that BASIS had set all released jobs to status "Susp/Released"
"All jobs are in 'Susp/Released' state. Set them all to 'Scheduled ' as follows:
- Run report BTCTRNS2 to change all to 'Released'.
- Immediately use SM37 to change all to 'Scheduled' "
IF ANY ARE NEEDED. Remember to change Exec Target in any job you need to release.
"Schedule RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS to run at x:29 and x:59 - so every 30 minutes.
Please schedule with DDIC as step user (and not your own user-id)."
Check the STMS_QA and import queues to be sure that the tranports are correct- no extra ones during refresh???
Once happy with the above request that Basis schedule the auto import to run every 30 minutes
First ensure that BDLS has finished and system is ready for use.
Post refresh issues faced in production
Many reinit issues
ACR issues.
Master data issues.

Error while running procedure for refreshing AWS

Hello There,
I am using a procedure which consists the script of refreshing the analytic workspace. I call this procedure from Business objects data services for automatic refresh.
It used to work perfectly until the recent changes implemented.
The issue is, when I run the procedure the cube refreshes successfully. When the same procedure is called from BODS, it shows an error.
Error is :: XOQ-01601: error while loading data for cube dimension "BI_PETRA_DWH.ACTIVITY_TIME" into analytic workspace
Underlying DB error is : ORA-01858: a non -numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
I dont get this error if I run procedure directly in SQL developer.
I verified attribues of dimension, there is only one numeric attribute and it is mapped to only numeric columns of view.
Can you please help me fixing this issue?
Thanks in advance.

WHY Target /oracle/SBX/sapdata2 is showing more files than the present in source /oracle/EPE/sapdata2 while all the files had been removed before
running the command brrestore -m full -b beieghis.aft -c ?

Wrong log file was used acc to previous file system.

System refresh in DB2 for zOS with dual stack

Has anyone performed system refresh (Abap + J2ee) in DB2 for zOS.
We are planning to do it but the homogeneous document outlined the database specific methods and it doesn't cover the j2ee part.
Is there any specific methods to follow to bring up the j2ee after the system copy?
Vijay

Hello,
please see Homogeneous System Copy guide for the export options using SAPinst and note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1059145 for the additional steps on the import side.

System refresh for solution manager

Hi All,
Do you think its possible to do a system refresh for solution manager?
Even though we do, wont there be a lot of inconsistencies between satellite system and with new solution manager?
Ideally i need do system refresh of X solution manager to Y solution manager
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
How about the consistency between your two X and Y systems. Are they in single TMS. Requests properly transported from X to Y? If its positive, then go ahead you can make System Refresh..
Feel free to revert back.

Qosmio G15 HDD failure - time for a system refresh - advice please

Hey Folks,
So it appears as though my C drive has died on my G15. I've managed to recover most of my data and I'm still running scans now. However I don't think I'll be able to trust the machine and have purchased a new hard drive. Now things go from messy to messier.
Apparently it's pretty easy to do a system refresh if you have some recovery CD that is supposed to come with the machine.
However the only recovery CD my laptop came with is the Qosmio Player Recovery. Not terribly useful since I don't use the player anyway.
So I'm now wondering what my best bet is? I've been open to trying Linux, or would love to go back to Win 2K.
However it seems like most of the drivers are for Win XP?
Since I don't have the recovery disc, it looks like I may have to go with regular XP Pro. Is that going to be a problem? Also there are tons of drivers listed on the Toshiba site. Are there any best practices for how they all need to go in? I've come across some threads here that suggest that the drivers need to be installed in a very particular fashion. I also noticed some threads alluded to threads which detail the XP installation process, but I could not find such threads.
I'm quite computer literate and mostly know what I'm doing. But I want to get this all right on the first attempt, not the 3rd or 4th, or 5th etc... I need to get this machine back up and running asap so I can get back to work. I've already spent a week doing drive scans and trying to recover what data I can.
I got really excited when I discovered there was a G15 recovery disc, and I might be able to do a quicker refresh than I had thought. Then very disappointed when I discovered that I never got one of these recovery discs with my cpu!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

My G15 AV501 (supposedly the top of the line when I bought it 3 yrs ago) has been in the shop or sent back to Toshiba for repairs (motherboard or HD replacement) 12 times. Yes. 12. The motherboard needed replacing 5 times and the HD, 4 times). And still, the hard drive made a whining or grinding noise during use. Now, after losing my data and putting in the Recovery and Applications Driver, it just froze and made a grinding noise eventually halting about halfway thru the installation. Great. I asked Toshiba for a replacement. Out of warranty. Sorry. Even though this is an ongoing problem since day 1. _*My theory is that the problem isn't the motherboard or the hard drive, I really think it's the motor or whatever device that spins or runs the HD.*_
So my question: I am trying to simply start over but all I can get is a black (dark grey) screen with a small white blinking cursor in the top left corner. The Recovery Disk will not load by itself. F10 or F8 key does nothing. Restarting with disk in/out... same result. How can I get the disk to load?
Also, did you ever get those recovery discs? I do have a set too I can loan you.

System Refresh Process of SAP Web AS 6.20 in BW env

We are in the process to refresh our BQA system from the offline backup copy of BPR(Production server). We did it number of times in 4.6 R/3 server successfully in past. We used the oracle backup/restore method for refresh process in R/3. The same oracle backup/restore method we used for BW refresh. But this method is not able to change the schema name in tablespace (in BQA system, tablespace are like PSAPBQAFACT and in BP1 , it is PSAPBP1FACT). Seems to me this is not the right method to refresh SAP Web AS 6.20 and above systems.
Could anyone pls suggest the right documents or if someone has the procedure for refresh process of SAP Web AS 6.20, pls confirm.

Hi Reiner! Thanks for your reply!
- I want to create a secure connection between the .NET client and the SAP Web AS 6.20 Web Service, and HTTPS would be great. Is there any documentation regarding this issue?
- No, I don't want to provide the result of a Web Service as a Web Service. Maybe I was quite unclear... :/ What I meant was:
I want my Web Service to return a table (the result comes in the structure of a table). How do I define the Out-parameter in transaction se37 to accomplish this? Right now the best solution I got was to construct an array of strings (like the ZZVALUES int array in the example) where each position of the array, is a string that has the various fields of the table i want to return concatenated.
I'm able to retrieve the array in Visual Studio .NET 2003 client, and separate the fields (to fill a table again with them). If I could just return the table from SAP and receive it in .NET would be much more simpler.
Thanks again.
