Promoting Universe from BI Dev to BI Prod

Hi Expert,
I have created one universe on Bex query in BI Dev server and I want to export this universe
in my BI Production.
My Bex query is already transported in BI Dev to BI Prod.
While I am promoting my universe from BI Dev to BI Prod through LCM it is promoted in BO Prod but,
connection is still referring the BI Dev it is not change in BI Prod.
Thanks and Regards
Lalit Kumar

Neither LCM nor Import Wizard will change the application server / SAP system that the connection points to.
Log into Universe Designer in your production environment, import the universe, re-point the connection parameters and export the universe to the CMS again.

Hi Krishna,
It seems you have not collected all the info objects and reference info objects into transport request.
Collect the objects into transport request using transport connection in RSA1.
while selecting CUBE, select data flow before, it will collect all the objects into request.
if any business content info objects are there first install from business content and collect into transport request.

Transporting Developmenrts from PI DEV to PI Prod

Hi Experts,
in my PI server, when ever I do a development in the ABAP stack, I release and transport the request to Basis. And In case of developments in Java stack, I use Change Management Service - Transport Studio to move it.
Apart from these processes, what other practices / processes are done in the industry to move developments to Prod..
Regards,
Arnab

Hi,
What is CTS+ and why is is introduced:
The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems in your system landscape.
The XI use case for CTS+ introduces a new transport handling mechanism that offers tighter integration for the transport of ABAP, Java, and Integration Builder objects (Integration Repository and Integration Directory) using the Change and Transport System (BC-CTS) functionality.
As your XI system requires both the ABAP and the Java stack of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server, the following transport tools are available after installation:
u2022
The ABAP transport environment (BC-CTS)
u2022
The file export and import mechanisms or CMS integration to transport Repository or Directory objects in your transport landscape
In addition, you might also have to transport Java development objects by using the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure itself.
The enhancements to CTS in combination with the SAP Solution Manager Change Request Management (ChaRM) address the following issues:
u2022
Synchronized transports for mixed systems (ABAP & Java)
u2022
A unified application for mixed system landscapes
u2022
Tracking of non-ABAP transports including Change Request Management
For your XI landscapes there will be one central transport environment with CTS+ where you can manage all XI-relevant transport objects from a single entry point.
This how-to guide describes the configuration settings you must make in the CTS+ system and XI systems. The functionality must be set up according to the release version of the integrated XI system. The two configurations will be described separately:
u2022
Configuration setup for releases prior to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS12 (also for SAP NetWeaver 2004 SPS14 and higher).
u2022
Configuration setup for release SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS12 and higher.
Refer the link for CTS+ step by step method of transport:

How to Transport iViews from Portal Dev system to Prod system?

Hello friends,
This is an urgent request and it would be of great help if you can give me a solution to this.
We have a Development Portal and a Production Portal. There is no QAS Portal. We are on EP 5.0 and BW is 3.5. Coming to my question, I have created an iView on a Web Application Designer template and assigned it to a role on the Development Portal. The report displays well on the Portal. Now I want to move this newly created iView to Production Portal. I absolutely have no idea how to do this as it is generally a Portal person's work and I have been asked to do this as the Portal person is currently on leave. I need to move the iView to Production as quickly as possible and I would really appreciate if any of you can send me detailed steps on how to do this.
The best way to say thanks in SDN is to assign points to helpful answers and I will not forget that.
Thanks,
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,

LCM - copy (promote) jobs from DEV to TEST

Hi all!
I am searching for a way to copy the LCM jobs (to promote objects from DEV to TEST) from the DEV environment to the TEST environment.
Is there a way to do so? Or do I need to recreate the jobs on the TEST new, when I want to transfer the same objects from TEST to PROD?
Thanks,
Hakan

And do you know, how an existing job can be refreshed?
I can create a job where a report is promoted from DEV to TEST. When the report now changes, so that a universe used is changed, the job itself is not updated.
The only way I found is to recreate the job again. If I can solve the refresh problem of a job, I could copy the jobs from DEV to TEST and exchange the logins from DEV -> TEST and from TEST -> PROD.
ciao Hakan

Migrate Webi Report / Universe from Dev to production

Hello,
there are lot of possibilities to migrate a Webi report or a universe from Development server to Production server. my question for the experts is what is best practice scenario to do that. What should i take in consideration.
if i rename my Production universe, place it in an other Path and base my migration on the option "compare name and Path" of the universes. would it migrate ? What about the Connection ?
My Target when migrating Universes. Is only to migrate the universe without connections
But when migrating Webi Reports is to migrate only the reports without universes or connections. But at the same time be sure that the Report is adressed to the right universe in the Destination System.
Is that realistic .. Thanx ..

Prerequest:
You should have Remote access to both the server the BO is installed
Approach1:
Login to source server
create a folder with the name temp.biar in the desktop of server 1
Go to import wizard of server 1
select server 1 as source and temp.biar file as a destination and import all that required to biar file
from server 1 connect to server 2 and place this biar file in some shared folder
connect to server2
open the shared folder and copy that biar file and place it in the desktop of server2
Go to import wizard of server 2
select the temp.biar file from desktop of server 2 and destination as server 2
and complete the process
Note: as we are doing this in remote, there will be lot of issues while connection to path which sometimes even the erro r message will mislead us....
Approach2:
dont create any biar file
Login to server 2
Go to import wizard
select server 1 as source and server 2 as destination and move directly from server to server
Approach2 is not preffered if server 2 is production serve....
this may help
Thanks,

Webi Report on BW Universe works in DEV but not properly in TEST

Hi,
We have created a Webi-Report on a BW Universe on our DEV server. Everything works like a charm and we are prompted as the first thing for keydate and the report is refreshed successfully. We then export the Universe (no connection overwrite) and Report to our TEST server with the Export Wizard and the problems start.
When we refresh the report on the TEST server we are prompted for keydate. If we select a value for the date we receive an error:
A database error occured The database error text is: The MDX (and then some MDX) failed to execute with the error Specify a value for variable Financial Statement Version. (WIS 10901)
If we select Use default value the report refreshes but no currency conversion is done. We can then refresh the report again and this time if we select a value for the keydate the report refreshes without the above error.
We have tried to overwrite the connection during export from DEV to TEST so the connection points to our DEV BW Server with the same result. If we create the universe on the TEST server from scratch everything works as intended.
If we transport the Universe and report from DEV to PROD directly the report works as intended.
The BO user (SSO WinAd) testing this have admin rights on BO. The connection in the univers to BW is done using a fixed username and password (no SSO to BW)
I am now out of options and would appreciate any input you might have to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Lars

Hi Wavery,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the connections and they are named exactly the same on DEV/TEST/PROD. I have also tried deleting the universe, connection and report on TEST and then do a new transport of all of them from DEV to TEST. Same result.
What I don't understand is why the refresh works if I do it in two steps:
<OL>
<LI>
I set keydate to "use default value" when prompted and the report will refresh without the keydate dependent calculations. None keydate dependent measures are showing correct values from BW.
</LI>
<LI>
Then I refresh again and set the keydate to a date and the report refreshes with the dependent calculations.
</LI></OL>
This tells me the connection is working and the problem is somewhere else. At the moment I'm clueless
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lars

Moving Universe from Development to Production

Hello Gurus,
I am working in XI R3.1.
I have modified an existing universe in designer. what are the things that I have to take care of before i export it to Production. In our company not using Import Wizard to move the universe from dev to production. we are moving the .unv files and reports to production using the manual method. i.e save the .unv file in a shared network and open it in production and save the universe.
Below are the steps that I am following. Please let me know If I am wrong.
1. Imported and modified the universe according to the requirements.
2. checked the integrity check and cardinality. there were no errors.
3. saved the universe and checked the radio button "Save for all users"
4. changed the connection to SHARED connection.
5. exported the universe to repository.
copied the .unv file from the USERDOCS where all the .unv files are stored to a shared network
6. opened the .unv file in production environment. changed the connection to secured and saved the universe and checked the radio button "Save for all users."
7. Imported the universe to production repository.
Am I following the correct steps. Please shed some light.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hello Naveen,
did you also look at the LifeCycle Manager tool that is available for download to help you to move objects from Dev to QA to PROD ?
thanks

How to set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment?

We have used BI publisher Enterprise (standalone), Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1. Our admin set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment based on the folder. For example, there is DEV folder, TEST folder and PROD folder. Developer is developing reports under DEV folder. Under TEST and PROD folder, there are many sub-folder based on the login user role. Sometimes a report has to be assigned to a multiple sub-folder under PROD. So our admin create symbolic links in the Linux box which BI server is located. That way, if a report is updated, there is no need to update the report in all sub-folder.
The issue I have is we are not allowed to touch any files under TEST/PROD folder. Only admin will move the report from DEV folder to TEST/PROD folder because those links admin created might be broken. However, as a developer, we still have permission to delete/rename/copy report under those restricted folders. Yesterday one report under PROD has been renamed by a developer. And admin complains because the links he has created not working anymore. Just wonder if admin doesn't allow developers to touch the reports under those folders, is there a way to remove the write permission on those folders? Also do you think this is a good practice to set up DEV, TESDT and PROD environment? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Query Comparison in DEV, QA and PROD

Hi,
Is there any way to compare the queries in DEV, QA and PROD to make sure that all the boxes have all the queries (provided we have followed the system landscape like transporting from DEV to all other two).
If not (this is happenning most of the time, because users are creating queries directly in PROD), we have to compare each and every query against the particular Data target in all the three environment.
We want to have a control in such a way that all queries are only created in DEV by the users and we will transport to QA and PROD. Once after making sync between landscape, we will restrict the access to the users to create directly in PROD.
Please help urgently.
Thanks,
David

Hi,
Use S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 for BEx security and specifically for Query use S_QUERY.

OWB10gR2 : One Repository and Multiple Enviroments(Dev , QA and Prod)

Hi All,
In 10gR1 , Runtime repository and Design repository used to be 2 different schemas. Because of this , we can simply have one repository in development and deploy the mappings into QA and Prod.
In R2 , runtime and design objects are present in a single repository. Do we need to install separate repository for each of the environments(Dev, QA and Prod) or is there a way to manage multiple envs without multiple repositories?
Thanks in Advance
Mallee

Hello Malle,
We are in a similar situation so our setub looks something like this.
We have a database which serves the purpose of design repository. Let's call it owbdev.
We have three target databases (data warehouse). Let's call them whdev, whqa, whprd.
In the db owbdev we configured an owb user (as owner of the repository) and various other users (as developers).
In whdev, whqa and whprd we did the same configuration except this time, we called the repository owner in each of these target databases, owbrun. This will be what we call in R2 our control center.
Then we deploy from owbdev to any of the three targets after having setup the appropriate locations and control center configurations in owbdev.
If there is a better way to do things I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Error creating Universe from BW query

Hi
Creating the Universe connected to BW query (BI 7).
Connection is proper and universe designer is connected to BW system without any problem. I have already used many queries to connect to universe and webi documents has been developed.
The only difference in this BW query is, it is using hierarchy with 'derivation type' in 'select hierarchy date'.
BW query is working as expected in BEx designer.
This is the error message when trying to create the universe from BW query -
Error getting dimensions for cube <infoprovider name>/<query name>(catalog <infoprovider name>): Unknown error when executing MDX
Product name : SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP3
Please respond how this can be resolved.
Thanks
Sreedh

Sreedh,
I was wondering whether you could resolve this error?
Would appreciate if you can convey the resolution.
I am getting the same error - ( BOE XI 3.1 ).
Thank you,

In SAP BW landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD

Hi all,
In SAP BW system landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD.
whether one server is enough for DEV and we can use virtual servers to QA & PROD?
Regards,
chandu

Hi chandu,
In my previous Organisation we got exactly the same landscape for BW as you described.BCS(BAYER COPSCIENCE LTD) operates a BW System Landscape with one centralized Global Development System and three regional Quality Assurance and Production Systems located in Europe, Asia Pacific and Americas. This Landscape is to ensure consistent data models to be available in all regional systems as well as to minimize development efforts and make use of respective synergies.
This is perfectly working for BCS ,and I think, this is the most approriate way of handling of resources.
