Quality Refresh

HI Gurus,
I am taking online + redolog backup of my production system and offline backup of Quality system.
Now I am going to do the quality refresh by restoring the backup of production system into Quality system.
Our backup is taken using Tivoli Server.
Please guide me how to carry forward the task
Before starting restoration I have to change Quality system to Online mode?
Thanks in advance !!!

Integration model activation issue - After Prod to Quality refresh of R/3

Hi Guys,
Our R/3 quality system refreshed from production. Hence all the integration models Logical system pointing APO production system. Mistakenly I deactivated all the integration model in R/3 Q system which having APO Production logical system.
All the IM in R/3 quality system are inactive. When try send material getting error message "relavent location doesn't exist".
For that try to move the Location getting error message "Location already exist in APO Quality" system.
Now I want to active the all the Plant, material.etc integration models. Please let me know if any more information and help to overcome the issue.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Saravanan
Make a table level change and set the integration model flag as active in the table CIF_IMOD. This will help you solve the issue .
Go to transaction SE16 . Give table name as CIF_IMOD. Give the name of you integration model and execute . Now all versions of that integration model will be displayed ( this will happen if you have many inactive versions and do not have the RIMODDEL program to delete inactive IM's) . Choose the latest version and go to change mode and set the value of "Entry is active" (technical name ACTIVE) field to I.
You can take help from development team if you do not have authorization to SE16

System Refresh regarding jobs

Hi,
I have a query regarding jobs. We refresh production to quality server. So this way all jobs also would be refreshed to quality from production. Now i will have all the jobs but i do not want same scheduling(as of production for my quality) and actually want the scheduling that was previously defined for my quality system jobs to be effective now after i have refreshed the system from production. So how i may do this? is there a way to take a backup of scheduling times of jobs before quality refresh so i can manitian same later having refreshed from production.
Also is there a way to completely restore the older (before refresh all jobs of quality) to quality again may this would help me to get my older scheduling?
Please let me know.

Hi Ashish,
When you are performing the system copy with PRD data.There are some pre-steps needs to taken care to avoid issues after building the target system with PRD data.
1.Disable communication between source systems ( sm59 )
2. Disable background job processing by running BTCTRNS1
3.Complete message processing in source landscape.
If your target system already exist in your landscape before going to perform the refresh with PRD data take secure information backup in your target system.
1.User master data
2.RFC tables backup.
3.Background jobs information and background job tables backup using transport of copies method.
If you follow above steps you won't face any difficulty after system copy with PRD data.
What you have to do is the secure information which you have taken in target system you need to import in your target system.
I hope it will help you.

DB02 view is empty on Table and Index analyses DB2 9.7 after system copy

Dear All,
I did the Quality refresh by System copy export/import method. ECC6 on HP-UX DB29.7.
After Import Runstats status n Db02 for Table and Index analysis was empty and all value showing '-1'. Eventhough
a) all standard backgrnd job scheduled in sm36
b) Automatic runstats are enabled in db2 parameters
c) Reorgchk all scheduled periodically from db13 and already ran twice.
4) 'reorgchk update statistics on table all' was also ran on db2 level.
but Run stats staus in db02 was not getting updated. Its empty.
Please suggest.

Vinay

Hi Deepak,
Yes, that is possible (but only offline backup). But for the new features like reclaimable tablespace (to lower the high watermark)
it's better to export/import with systemcopy.
Also with systemcopy you can use index compression.
After backup and restore you can have also reclaimable tablespace, but you have to create new tablespaces
and then work with db6conv and online table move to move one tablespace online to the new one.
Best regards,
Joachim

Hi All,
There is a Quality refresh happened which means the Production data overwrites the Quality In such case the path that is defined in SM69 of the external command Zcompressall got overwrite with the production path which is the reason for failing of the external command.

Dear Reagan,
Infra team did only the Backup Restore of the Prod system and no Export Import of Prod using the sapinst.
Should I do the export import as it sounds by your and Pavan's reply that it might be required
We are doing Restore for Dual stack first time done the backup restore for ABAP stack a couple of times for ECC Quality refresh.
Should this be the option that I should select in sapinst for JAVA Export and JAVA Import:

Patching on PRD system and thereafter moving the logs to DR ?

Patching on PRD system and thereafter moving the logs to DR, will the patches take effect in DR ?
We have patched our PRD system to the latest APPL patch levels, we have a DR system in place, the link for which was disabled before we started our patching process. The DR system was successfully patched before taking up the activity on PRD.
The link between the PRD and DR is still not restored.
Now, that our PRD system is on the latest patch levels, my idea is restoring a full offline database backup of PRD on the DR system should make the DR system exactly identical to the PRD and the link between the two restored to allow for dynamic syncing thereafter.
Is my above view correct ?
Moreover, from my understanding, Patches are a bunch of SAP notes, SAP notes in-turn are basically code corrections for some objects, which ultimately means some entries are either written or deleted from database tables. My colleagues are of the view that instead of patching the DR server separately we could have actually restored the link and transferred the logs to the DR and the patches should have taken effect in the DR SERVER, is this alright ?
From my past experience I am aware that once you restore an offline database backup onto any system, the patch level in the target system would become similar to the source system(the system whose offline backup is actually being restored).
Thereby request the experts on the forum to give their views on the above.
Many Thanks in advance

when we take up any patching activity, can we just do it on the PRD and then move on the logs to the DR and the DR should also be on the same patch levels as PRD. ?
Yes, its a normal patching process for Primary-->Secondary setups.
You have to apply the application patches only on Production, then sync process takes care on DR (No need to apply the pathces here, infact you don't need to touch your exisiting DR system).
As a best practice - Just perform a Quality refresh before performing patching activity, then you can perform your test Patching/Upgrade activity in your Quality system itself (Not on DR).

How to copy copa derivation rules ( maintain rule value)

Hi All,
Can anyone help how to copy the copa derivation rules with maintain rule value from production to quality.

Hello,
Export and import of copa derivation rule is not possible.
usually Transports are moved from quality to production as per best policy.
Production to quality happens at the time of quality refresh.
in case of high importance please get in touch with Basis team.

Duplicate node in configtool.sh after files sytem backup / restore

Hello,
We are doing EHP4 installations for our live ECC6 (ABAP+Java) landscape. We wanted to achieve EHP4 installation more consistently and accurately in our test system first. We are performing system copy from our Production system (sapecp) to TEST system host (sapecb) using full file system backup and restore.
We have restored most recent full file system backup of our PRD(sapecp) on our TEST System (sapecb). Due to the different host name of test system we aslo finished the host renaming steps from note 8307 and 757692. Our DBAsu2019 also adjust the new
host name in Oracle after the file system restore. After this we are able to start SAP instance successfully on TEST system.
However we have noticed that configtool.sh is now showing two nodes automatically instead of a single node in both PRD and TEST systems.
Q: Is their anything else we still need to change in configtool.sh in our TEST system to remove references of PRD ?
Q: is this a normal behavior of configtool.sh after a file system backup and restore ?
Q: is their a way to clean up the configtool nodes in both system ?
Please advice if anyone has faced the similar issue ?
Thanks,
Harshal

Reg: SID change

Hi all,
I am going for a system refresh using BACKUP RESTORE method.
But i have some doubt, after throughing the restore command system will prompts below warning that source and target SIDs are different. After this should system automatically restores the entire source datafiles into target database or do we need to set some parameters to restore into different SID?
BR0454W Values of oracle_sid are different: current 'QAS', backup bdxrjktu.ant 'PRO'
BR0455W Value 'QAS' of oracle_sid will be used for restore
BR0454W Values of oracle_home are different: current '/oracle/QAS/920_64', backup bdxrjktu.ant '/ora
cle/PRO/920_64'
BR0455W Value '/oracle/QAS/920_64' of oracle_home will be used for restore

Hi Nitin,
Thanks for your quick resp.
For all: Please do not understand this as SID change for existing system
This is a quality refresh. But i want to do the same using BACKUP RESTORE method.
Steps to do this:
1)I will take full online backup of souce system
2)Restore backup into target system.
3)Perform post installation/db copy steps.
But when performing 2nd step i have bit doubt. There SIDs should be different.
System automatically restores source database to target or do i need to change any parameters to restore?
This doubt after giving the command brrestore -b filename -m full

VA03 not showing PDF attachments when viewing IDOC

When we view IDOCs in our QA after a recent refresh we can no longer see the attachments in VA03. Any clues as to why we can't see these?

Is quality refreshed recently from production.It seems they might not refreshed these pdf (Va03) from production,if they refreshed all abjects then only you can see these documents.Check with your basis team are they copied PDF objects are not.

Online Java Export

Hi Gurus ,
We are in the process of Quality refreshes , We have taken java export of a dual stack system , but the export file got accidently deleted from the disk . Now the production servers are up and no downtime is approved by the business .
Is there any option to take Java export in online .

Hi,
we can take java export when the system is online. We have taken java export when the system is online. Only SDM gets stopped. We can use both ABAP+ Java instance normally.
To validate i just ran java export on one of the Training server, i was able to java export online . both ABAP+ Java Instance were operational. i check MMC only SDM server got stopped during export and got started after export finished.
