Q: looking for a best practices on a reorg issue

I am trying to figure out how to reorg our BW PSAPODSD and PSAPODSI tablespaces.  They both have partitions which seems to complicate the issue a tad.  What I am trying to do is move the data to new tablespaces (PSAPTESTD and PSAPTESTI, drop the old ODS tablespaces and datafiles, recreate them as LTMS, then move from TEST back to ODS.
I've looked at using the oracle exp/import tools.  I've looked into brtools/brspace tools.  I am not sure which way to go that (a) will get all the data, (b) get/recreate all the bazillion partitions,  and (c) recreate/rebuild all the indexes and the partitoned indexes. 
I've already done an exp then an imp (to create the SQL) but do I need to do more than just go into the SQL and change the target tablespaces?
Does anyone have any method/scripts they can share? 
Thanks in advance
Vince

Thanks for the pointer but it seems to be asking the same questions I am.  The only PDF that I could get was the one from quest.  Yours from LuLu I kept getting DB errors on the LuLu site. 
Also, 3rd party options are currently out of the question.   I have done reorgs on R3 systems but since they don't have partitions and sub partitions and such there didn't seem to be as much to worry about. 
I don't even want to mess with any BW R3 internal tables and that is why I would like to go from ODSD->Temp->ODSD.  I can get the downtime to do it too.
Thanks for your help though the issue still sin't solved. And I'd like to see your book sometime.

  • Looking for some best practice regarding Content Administrator access

    Hi. I am looking for some best practice or rule of thumb from SAP or from different companies how they address Portal Content Administrator access in Production environment. Basically, our company is implementing portal to work with SAP BW.  We are on SP 9. Basically, I am trying to determine if we should have 1-2 Portal Content Administrator in Production with 24/7 access or we should limit them from NOT having this.  Can you share with me some ideas of what is right? and what is not?
    Should we have access in Production? Or Should we have this access but limited? By the way, our users are allow to Publish BI reports/queries into Production.

    Hello Michael,
    Refer to this guide about managing initial content in portal.

  • Looking for a best-practices guide for developing in TestStand

    I am looking for a best-practices guide for developing in TestStand. LabVIEW has its style guides and books, but there is very little published about TestStand.
    Also, and I mention this since NI checks these entries as well, how about adding TestStand to the NI Developer Zone?
    Thanks in advance for any leads or documents you can provide!

    Thanks! I was stuck on entering "TestStand best practices" into NI's search engine, and never thought of entering "TestStand style guide."
    If anyone knows of additional pertinent content, I would appreciate hearing about it.

  • Look For Transport Best Practices

    Hi,
    I am looking for transport best practices, so please answer the following questions on how your place of business handles :
    1. If an object is modified in development and you decide that you you do not wish to move the modifications forward - Do you;
        a. delete the transport and release the locks
        b. create a corrective transport and move the transport through production
        c. release the transport and never import it into the next system
        d. something different : (Please explain)
    2. If a transport is imported into QA and then you decide never to move it to production, do you:
        a. delete the transport and release the locks
        b. create a corrective transport and move the transport through production
        c. release the transport and never import it into the next system
        d. something different : (Please explain)
    Thanks Rob
    [email protected]

    I was always taught never to delete a transport. The changes should be reversed in the same transport and moved forward or released and the corrective transport moved forward in the same import queue.
    If the transport goes to QAS then it needs to move to production. A corrective transport should be imported into production in the same queue.
    I am sure you can get 20 different answers on this, but this is my policy.

    Ok you need some spoon feeding it seems. You should have checked the correct answer from the post and searched the key word "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration and Data Quality" in google.
    Here's the link SAP Best Practices for Data Migration and Data Quality – SAP Help Portal Page
    Also as a heads up, there won't be any single document which gives all the details you need. You need to narrow down your search and focus on the required material only.

  • Looking For Guidance: Best Practices for Source Control of Database Assets

    Database Version: 11.2.0.3
    OS: RHEL 6.2
    Source Control: subversion
    This is a general question aimed at database professionals, however, it is not specific to any oracle version, etc.  Its a leadership question for other Oracle shops regarding source control.
    The current trunk, in my client's source control, is the implementation of a previous employee who used ER Studio.  After walking the batch scripts and subordinate files , it was determined that there would be no formal or elegant way to recreate the current version of the database from our source control - the engineers who have contributed to these assets are no longer employed or available for consulting.  The batch scripts are stale, if you will.
    To clean this up and to leverage best practices, I need some guidance on whether or not to baseline the current repository and how to move forward with additions of assets; tables, procs, pkgs, etc.  I'm really interested in how larger oracle shops organize their repository - what directories do you use, how are they labeled...are they labeled with respect to version?
    Assumptions:
    1. repository (database assets only) needs to be baselined (?)
    2. I have approval to change this database directory under the trunk to support best practices and get the client steered straight in terms of recovery and
    Knowns:
    1. the current application version in the database is 5.11.0 (that's my client's application version)
    2. this is for one schema/user of a database (other schemas under the database belong to different trunks)
    This is the layout that we currently have and for the privacy of the
    client I've made this rather generic.  I'd love to have a fresh
    start...how do I go about doing that...initially, I like using
    SqlDeveloper's ability to create sql scripts from a connected target.

    HiWe are using Data ONTAP 8.2.3p3 on our FAS8020 in 7-mode and we have 2 aggregates, a SATA and SAS aggregate. I want to decommission the SATA aggregate as I want to move that tray to another site. If I have a flexvol containing 3 qtrees CIFS shares can I use data motion (vol copy) to move the flex vol on the same controller but to a different aggregate without major downtime? I know this article is old and it says here that CIFS are not supported however I am reading mix message that on the version of data ONTAP we are now on does support CIFS and data motion however there will be a small downtime with the CIFS share terminating. Is this correct? Thanks

  • Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal

    Hi,
    We are implementing EP for ECC 5.0 and we have to web enable some FI transactions like FB50/fb60 etc. We want to use standard business package for this. The only business package that caters this requirement is "Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal 60.1". When i checked the data source for this business package, the specification is for "SAP R/3 4.6B and above". Does this work for ECC 5.0 as well? In general does the R/3 specific business packages work for ECC versions? Please let me know. Thanks for the help.  I promise rewards.

  • I'm looking for the best Mic in

    I'm setting up an office-to-office videoconferencing system. I've got the video down, but I'm looking for the best audio I can get. The sound will be stereo output, but I need really good microphone input. Echo cancelling is a must, but the Windows XP echo cancellation sounds like a bad telephone connection. Does anyone have any ideas? Are any of the mic inputs better on one SoundBlaster than on the others?

  • Trouble: Crsytal reports for SAP Best practices

    Hello Friends,
    I have downloaded crystal reports for SAP Best practices. There are bunch of Crystal reports whose data source is a infoset query.
    Below are the reports
    Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Cost Variance for Cost Centers     Table: CSKT, CSLT                                                                               
    Query: CO_OM_CA_20_Q1

                                                                  InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_CSKT
    I have created the above Infosets using the document which comes with the installation. However I couldn't find any documents to create these queries. I also searched the SAP system if these were predefined but I still couldn't find.
    Note: I am ECC 6 and Enhancement pack 3
    Question: Where are these queries?? How do i create them?
    Any inputs would be really appreciated?

    Hightlight the G entry and invoke the context menu.Select Options and in the Table name field enter the following
    CO%
    Close the options window and press F5. Navigate again to SAP Infosets and to the opened connection to your system. Under Q->G you should be able to see the CO* Infosets.

  • Placing Images (Screen Caps) for Callouts - Best Practice?

    Illustrator CS6, Windows 7
    I'm placing screen captures (screen images from software) in my artwork files to add callouts and create illustrations for a user manual.
    The machine I'm capturing on has a screen resolution set at 1920 x 1080 (required for software). I'm using Snagit and capturing the screens, saving files, then placing in Illustrator. I've been using images minimum 300 dpi and never upsizing in Illustrator. Still I think my results could be better.
    In the past I've used .jpg as my export filetype for placing into Illustrator. But, recent reads of postings in this community lead me to believe my practice might be flawed.
    Question: What is considered best practice for placing images from screen capture (or any source) in Illustrator? What file type from capture will get me the clearest and most adaptable results?
    My Illustrator file color mode is CMYK and my other art and callouts supporting the screen cap are working great.
    I'm creating the artwork for import to Framemaker and creating a PDF for online and print.

    What I mean is; what is the user looking at, and what are you training on?
    For example, if the application involves medical imaging, and part of your documentation covers something like evaluating medical images in the application, that would probably be a far more color-critical scenario than an application in which the user just views and manipulates data.
    Generally, you don't need anything like 300 PPI for screen captures in software documentation. The whole intent is for the image to look like the screen you are documenting, which is something like 72 or 96 PPI at actual size. You might downscale a screen capture as much as 50%, but at that size, the reader is viewing the application's text (including menus,  etc.) at half the size as viewed in the application, which is assumed to be sized for comfortable reading. Sharpness is good. You don't want the images to become blurred in pursuit of completely needless "resolution."
    Also generally speaking, software screenshots are not usually color-critical. Placing (even pasting from SnagIt) directly into the page layout app is usually just fine. PostScript knows how to separate RGB images. Such things have been done since long before anyone sweated blood over "color management." Assuming your application interface is not using garish color (which would be poor interface design; it's tiring), I dare say the conversion of RGB screenshots to CMYK at the imagesetter or press would be fine.
    How is the manual going to be printed? Unless you're talking about a large press runs, nowadays software documentation (subject to frequent updates) is often printed on on-demand presses (think glorified digital color copiers), not sheetfed presses. With software documentation, you're not usually talking coffee-table collector's books. (The exception would be something like a book on color-correction in Photoshop; thus my first question.)
    I routinely paste screenshots from SnagIt directly into InDesign pages to document software applications, and add the callouts in InDesign. Only when I need some special graphics (swooping arrows, etc.) do I assemble the callouts to the screenshots in Illustrator; and even when I do that, I also typically paste the SnagIt captures directly in to AI.
    Keeping your callouts native to the page layout program also better facilitates language translation, when you have to outsource that.
