Rebuilding Domain controller & Transport Routes after system refresh

I have refreshed Dev from Prdn, now my domain controller only shows single system
I have documentation but, it is confusing to me how to have QAS and Prdn join the domain controller again and show the domain as a three tier system
When I log into QAS and Prdn I still see the old 3 tier system including the domain and the other systems.
Please advise

You don't perform backup of domain controller.
You only designate in STMS one of servers as "Backup Domain Controller"
when Primary controller fails than "Backup domain Controller" takes his role and becomes a primary.
So action to refresh domain controller is:
1. Designate one of servers as backup domain controller
2. Backup transport directory if it is on refreshed server (just in case)
3. Switch backup controller to become primary
4. Refresh primary system
5. Join refreshed system to domain
6. Switch back primary function to refreshed server

Transports Issue after system Refresh

Hi All,
Recently we performed a system refresh from our Production to Development system. It is SAP ERP 6.0 ehp5 system. The refresh was successful however we are seeing issues related to STMS.
1. In our development system we are unable to use SCC1 to move transport from one client to another. The following is the dump.
Category               ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors         UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
Except.                CX_SDB_ORA_PROGRAM_ERROR
ABAP Program           CL_SDB_ORA_UPDATE_STATS=======CP
Application Component BC-DB-ORA-CCM
The occurrence of the exception is closely related to the occurrence of
a previous exception "CX_SQL_EXCEPTION", which was raised in the program
"CL_SQL_STATEMENT==============CP",
specifically in line 24 of the (include) program
"CL_SQL_STATEMENT==============CM008".
The cause of the exception was:
ORA-20003: Specified bug number (16470836) does not exist#ORA-06512: at
"SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 23922#ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line
23973#ORA-06512: at line 1
2. We are not able to see the sub request record for the transports is missing in E070 table for the TRs which were created before refresh.
Please provide your inputs and help us to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

Hi
Why do you mean by "system refresh from our Production to Development system"
DB copy or client copy ?
Based on the problem you have it must have been a DB copy.
As you might know this is not recommended by SAP, you should at least have exported the object versions as stated in the here under note.
I hope your TMS domain controller was the production system...
It is normal that you did loose data in the CTS tables as you overwrite all CTS tables with the data from production, thus orders created in DEV that were not released should have been erased.
I'm afraid your problem could be tougher than a simple Oracle error...
For the Oracle error could you try launching system statistic and see if you get the same error
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t system_stats
Why did you perform that refresh, client copy could have been a safer alternative.
Regards
130906 - How can versions be transported?
You want to copy the versions of the repository objects from one R/3 system into another, for example because you are planning to copy your production system to your development system.
Such a procedure does not correspond to the strategy recommended by SAP, to always retain the development system.

DTP transport error after system refresh

Hi Experts,
    The scenario is that Dsystem has already refreshed data from Psystem,and then error occured when transport DTP from D to Q system.
    As per the threads before, i know that we can trace DTP technical name in table RSBKDTP.
    That i show the detail as the field from RSBKDTP in the below,
Before refresh,
System        DTP technical name     DTP original technical name
P                  DTP2                            DTP0
Q                  DTP1                           DTP0
D                  DTP0                            DTP0
After refresh P to D,
System        DTP technical name     DTP original technical name
P                  DTP2                            DTP0
Q                  DTP1                           DTP0
D                  DTP2                         DTP0
Then the transport error from D to Q caused by that the two name underlined is not corresponding.
Could anybody give me advice to solve the problem, if not ,i could only creat a new DTP in D.
I am currently trying to find an solution and I will share if I find. Thanks.

Hi Friend,
Just activate the DTP2 in D again and transport to Q. It should work.

Logical System Conversion after system refresh failed

Hello,
Logical System Conversion after system refresh couldn't complete as the printer was locked. This job was run in the background. In SM37, the job log of RBDLSMAP shows as job finished, but it took only 40 seconds. Now I see that the logical system got changed(Converted) in the client settings scc4 but I know that this client being a production client and would run for couple of hours. Here is the job log information.

When try to rerun bdls again, it shows that it is already available and it says "The new logical system name is already assigned to the current client".
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi ,
Rerun the BDLS again as this took very little time.
When you try to run again it popsup message saying it already exists just delete that and again put the Logical system name and run it will run that time.
May be while scheduling the job you gave for spool I am not sure why is it looking for Printer which is locked.
Thanks.

SAP License issue after system refresh.

Hi,
After system refresh, refreshed system has License info of source system. When trying to apply license from unix, it gives below error, saying system number is incorrect to apply new license. Looks the system number of source system is causing issue. I checked, there is no data in MLICHECK table. I could see some info in "saplikey" table. System is 700 system.
sidadm> saplikey -install "/home/SID/sid_multiple.txt pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/SID_DVEBMGS01_sapsidci
This system's system number is "000000000710287641", but there is a license key
for system number "000000000711311441" in file "/home/SID/sid_multiple.txt".
sidadm>
Thanks.

First check whether you have deleted all invalid licenses?
use below command to delete invalid licenses
sidadm>saplicense -delete
And apply new license based on new hardwarekey with below command
sidadm>saplicense -install
*I think there should be some invalid licenses lying in your system

After System Refresh Variants missing

Hi,
We have used Export / Import method to build QAS system from production
ABAP export file.
After System refresh we got the same Production client with all
configurations, Variants, Object including data.. Which is Perfect.
But, as per our business we don't want to use the same production
client number in Quality System., so we done Cliet Copy to copy to
different client (ex: Client 200) using SAP_ALL profile.
Question: But after client copy we found that some Data, Objects,
Variants are missing in the new client (200).
Ex: In Client 100 (Copy of production client) table T009 is having 10
entries, but after client copy in client 200 the same table doesn't have any
entry in that including standard and Z.
Please help me on this, how do I get clone / copy of 100 client
(original client)
Thank You,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
Looks like your client copy didn't bring all the data and Objects, Did you checked logs, Is there any error message ? The client copy completed with all the tables ?
You can try Remote client copy method .
You can manually export the variants from the source client to Target client and you need to export the Variants from the table VARID, VARI, VARIT and VARIS.
You can use the below forum procedure to export and import variants.
how to export RFC destination to file in order to import it in an other sys
Since, not only the variants you are missing data and Objects, I would suggest for re-copy the client.

Arjun

Adding transports to import queue after System Refresh

Hello All,
Every time we do system refresh from PRD to Sandbox as a part of post refresh activity we need to import all the transports which are in the import queue of PRD(which are not yet imported to PRD) to our Sandbox.
But its a tedious job, as in the import queue many old transports which are still not yet imported to PRD will b there.
So may b around 150+ transport requests in the import queue of PRD, which we need to add those manually from path
Extras---->other requests -
> Add. doing same for 150 times. cant even imagine dat work.
So my question is, Is there any way to get the replica of import queue of PRD to Sandbox.
Some where i read like transport buffer in the path /usr/sap/trans/buffer/<SID> of the system will have list of all transports in the import queue.
So can i copy dat file and replace SID with Sandbox SID and place it in the Sandbox under same path.
Please suggest or give me a correct solution.
Regards,
Ravi

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I had read about using script like tp addtobuffer inorder to add the transports to the import queue some time back.
But forwarding transports is a new method i got to know here which even looks easy too. It would be great if any 1 tell me how forwarding works.
Also it would b fine if who all uses this method of forwarding to add transports to import queue do reply about any problems faced while forwarding requests.
Bcoz in our landscape , transport route is as below
Dev to QA and Sandbox then from QA transports will move to Production.
So after refresh forwarding Transports from PRD to Sandbox, how does this work. Please share your suggestions.
Regards,
Ravi

Domain Controller going down after IDM implemented

Hi,
We have implemented IDM 7.1 and are using the PSS (Password Self Service), Password Syncronization functionality for 2 AD and 6 ABAP systems. This PSS is implemented to support our company ESS which is on the internet so that users can reset their own password. Hence to support it we have a architecture having one AD on the DMZ and another internal.
Both the AD repositories have been configured pointing to a perticular DC (Domain Contorller) . All the DC's have Phook installed on them.
Since Go-live we have not had any issue with the DC on the DMZ but the internal DC keeps going down once in a while and it doesnt have a pattern. We tried switching to different DC's also which didnt work. Right now we are keeping a close watch on the DC and we carryout a restart whenever it happens.
Did anyone come across such kind of a issue, if so then please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Ahmed,
Thank you for your quick response! Our secondary domain controller IP settings were set properly according to the recommendation, but the primary (the one having the issues) was not. I went ahead and changed the settings and did an ipconfig /registerdns
and restarted the netlogon service. Nothing changed after that. I ran a dcdiag and the only one that failed was this:
      Starting test: NCSecDesc
         Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have
            Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set
         access rights for the naming context:
         DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=*hidden*,DC=*hidden*
         Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have
            Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set
         access rights for the naming context:
         DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=*hidden*,DC=*hidden*
         ......................... *hidden PDC Name* failed test NCSecDesc
I'm going to restart the server tonight after those IP changes and let you know my outcome.
Thanks again!

Table structure changed in testing system after system refresh.

Hi Team,
Recently we underwent a system refresh in Testing System where the Testing data is filled with Production data. But now we find that in one table some fields which we had deleted they are again found there. The version history of table is also gone. The table object was under testing in testing system and after which it was supposed to be transported to production. I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure. Please correct me if I am wrong. Please also let me know what could be the reason of those changes in table if it is not System Refresh.
Regards,
Amit

I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure.
Alas, you were wrong, after all table definition are data too, as program sources...
You have to re-import every transport request which was not yet transported to production in your test system.

Raymond

Transports backup during system refresh

I have a requirement to take the backup of transports from QA system which are not yet imported into PRD as QA is getting refreshed. After refresh, I would like to add these transports into queue and import them in sequence.
Now I can get the list of transports not imported into PRD from "transports waiting to be imported" from PRD system. But I am unable to get in which sequence should these be imported into QA. Last time I did but it went in the wrong order and programs got overwritten in QA as I tried to do it by the time/date sequence.
I wish to know if anyone following the better procedure to take the transports backup in QA during the refresh process.

Hi Sameer,
2 things: Either these TRws are being imported for the first time, OR, you are concerned about the repeat import.
1.
Usually, the order of import is the same as order of release of the TR from development. However, there may be exceptions in some cases.
But why are you being worried about the order of the transports? The developers should have a look at the list and tell you the order in which they are to be imported. See, only they would know which request contains which versions of the objects and only they can tell you what goes in and in what order.
Being from Basis (I hope you are from basis only) you have no way of knowing the correct sequence in such a case. Basis never decides order of TRs.
2.
But, if you mean these were imported once in Q but after refresh you want the same order, then you should have gone to the transport history for the system in STMS and from there, you should have seen and saved the order of the original imports.

Shitij

Restore SECSTORE security store after system refresh?

When we refresh a QA system from PRD, we first export the RFCDES table from QA, then perform the homogeneous system copy from PRD -> QA, and then import the RFCDES table we saved prior to the copy. This restores the various RFC destinations in the QA environment.
In recent releases, the password information has been moved out of the RFCDES table into the Secure Store; it looks like this is based on tables RSECTAB and RSECACTB. However, when we transport the contents of these tables and then bring them in again after the refresh, the RFC destination passwords are still marked invalid.
Has anyone refreshed a QA system while saving the RFC destinations, using the secure store? If so, how?
Thanks,
Rich

No infopackages after system refresh.

Hello,
We have recently completed a system refresh from our BI production system to our BI training system for the first time.
Our customer then wanted us to link our refreshed BI training system to our pre-production ECC system. After some initial issues setting up the connections between the two systems we finally got a successful test connection in RSA1 from our BI training system to our ECC pre-prod system. We had our BI functional team test, they told us that they do not see any of the infopackages and that transfer rules for loading hierarchies from our ECC pre-prod system are missing. Does anyone know how this could happen and what we can do to resolve/get the infopackages into our training system ?
We are on BI 7.0 and ECC 5.0
Solaris OS
Oracle DB
Thank you,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I would assume you deleted the sourcesystems, as adivised by the system copy note (886102). When you delete the sourcesystems, all its dependant objects are deleted too (like the infopackages, for example).
You can get them via transport, as suggested in the scenario B3, from that same note.

TMS, profiles after System Refresh

Hi All,
I have done a system refresh from PD1(old prod) to PRD(new prod) on new server.
I faced following problem after the refresh.
1. The instance profile of PD1 had many parameter.., after copying that in PRD, sap wont start. So I have commented many of those parameter from the instance profile of PRD?
2. After the refresh, since PRD doesnt have the transport request of PD1, how do I put those request to PRD?
I have the backup of \trans folder of PD1.
Regards
Prash

Hi,
Rename the file from \trans\buffer\HD1 to PRD worked!!!
-> the only concern if transport buffer is clean up in between then some request was missing in import queue of PRD.
zcsa/installed_languages = DE
this should be ED
zcsa/system_language = E is OK.
install/codepage/appl_server = 1100 -> this is for codepage installed on your application server
I get message like PXA_NO_SHARED_MEMORY occured
and SYSTEM_NO_ROLL occured..
-> are you using 32 bit OS ?
check Note 103747 - Performance: Parameter recommendations as of Release 4.0
Note 88416 - Zero administration memory management as of 4.0A/ Windows
also consider Note 129813 - Windows: Problems due to address space fragmentation

Imported the new certificated as well, when I try to login the page is getting refresh but remains on the same page.
please help me what could be the reason.

Hi Abdul.
I think you have selected the Algorithm as RSA, which is the default one.<br />
Please change it to DSA and hope the issue will be solved.

Windows 8.1 will not activate on HP19-2113w after system refresh.

Everything was working fine on my PC. Then the other day it crashed and said there was a disk error and that it had to scan the whole drive to find the error. It finished scanning, but windows 8.1 would not load sucessfully. Therefore I did a system refresh thru HP recovery. After doing that windows would start up normally, but I lost my activation. When I tried to activate the response was "Key doesn't work try again later" or something like that. Kept trying, no luck. I thought it may have been an error with the system refresh, so I did the total system reset (after saving personal data). Now I am having the same problem with activation, and If I try to navigate the normal way to the activation screen, the screen disapears. I can get to activation using command prompt. but key still does not work. The key I am using I retrived from my BIOS data. Also, I ran the refresh and reset from the origional hard drive partition. I hope someone has a solution to this. Thanks is advance Bill
