Recovery of sap favorites

Hi,
There are no longer Favourites in my SAP Menu, i used to have in the Workflow all the Transactions that i am operating with, right now they have disappeared, i must look for everything that i needs
i able to access the application and work with it, still i would need to know what happened and how i can get back the settings that i had before
Thanks in advance
Prashanth

Hi,
If you have added some Transaction Codes or some other items and if they are once deleted you cannot recover them but you would again need to add them. Also this might have happened because you might have re-installed the SAP GUI.

Disaster Recovery For SAP ECC 6.0 On Oracle

Hi All,
This is our infrastructure
Windows 2003 Server
SAP ECC 6.0
Oracle 10
Legato Networker Client / Library
Actually our Backup Strategy is to do an Online Backup Every Night from monday to saturday. We want to test our backup by doing a Restore. We are assuming a complete loss of the system including hardware.
What we do:
1. Install the SAP System on a new host with the same hardware characteristic of the source system.
2. Install & Configure the legato utility.
3. Copy the E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\ directory from the source system to the test system.
4. Them we put the database in mount mode.
5. Execute the command: brrestore -b bdyxwoqv.fnf -m full (bdyxwoqv.fnf-> Full Online Backup that was executed without problems).
It gives the following errors:
BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA2\SR3_10\SR3.DATA10' reported as not found by
backup utility
BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA3\SR3700_9\SR3700.DATA9' reported as not foun
d by backup utility
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0279E Return code from 'backint -u MIS -f restore -i E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\.
rdyybrzp.lst -t file -p E:\oracle\MIS\102\database\initMIS.utl': 2
BR0374E 0 of 63 files restored by backup utility
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0231E Backup utility call failed
BR0406I End of file restore: rdyybrzp.rsb 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0404I BRRESTORE terminated with errors
Since this is a new SAP system it never will find the SAPDATA files because they where on the source system and this is a new test system.
We found the following note:
96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on Oracle
But this note is for SAP R/3 no for SAP ECC!
It explain that you have to install your SAP system with the System Copy Method (is this the only way??).
2.) Installation of the R/3 System
The installation of SAP software contains the software installation of the database. The initial SAP database should be created again but the SAP data should not be loaded.
Install the SAP system with the Oracle-specific system copy method, which is based on backup/restore. This method is described in the system copy guide for your Product/Release. Refer to Note 659509 for products that are based on Web AS.
3.) Modification of the installation
Above all, you must take into account the mounted file systems at the time of the loss. If necessary create new SAPDATA directories (mount points). These generally identify a disk or a logical storage area (logical volume).
Are we working in the right way? maybe there is a formal procedure to do a Restore from an Online backup when you complete loss your system.
Please some tips.
Best Regards,
Erick Ilarraza

Hi Eric,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I will follow the Note 96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on ORACLE point 5.
5.) Restore profile and log files, as you sayed in case of disaster we will lost our "source" system.
On the other hand to configure the legato client we take care of the name of the server, we configured the .sap, .cfg and .utl files so in theory the restore will be done on the new test system since we run the brrestore command from that system.
Officially there is not a documentation from SAP to do a Restore from a Online Backup with SAP ECC, SAP Netweaver (ABAP / ABAP + Java). You only have the 96848 note??? I found the following information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/65/cade3bd0c8545ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
But there is not a official procedure like a System Copy Guide or Installation Guide.

Disaster Recovery in SAP ERP2005-SR1 ABAP- MSSQL.

Hello.
I am in the process of create a DR server for our SAP ERP2005-SR1 running in SQL2000 with a latest SP patch. This DR server (standby server) is going to have the same SID as my production system, but on a difference host with a difference IP address. I am planning to use a domain installation method to install this DR server. Could someone please provide me with the following information:
1. Can this be done with same <SYSID> but on the difference host, difference IP address but using domain installation method under Netweaver 2004s environment???
2. I am going to use the same <sysid>adm account to perform the same installation, is it possible???
3. Do I need to shutdown production system while I install SAP ERP 2005 on my DR server????
I hope someone could help me with the answer or provide me with the reference documentation on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
PL.

Hello Phuong,
Did similar thing for other purposes...
1. Can this be done with same <SYSID> but on the difference host, difference IP address but using domain installation method under Netweaver 2004s environment???
yes
2. I am going to use the same <sysid>adm account to perform the same installation, is it possible???
<domain>/administrator works. Not sure of <sysid>adm.
3. Do I need to shutdown production system while I install SAP ERP 2005 on my DR server????
Should not have to.
It is a lot of things to consider for a full DR solution. I would start with a Sandbox system before doing anything on PRD...
Best regards,
Victor

Deleted User recovery in SAP R/3

Hi :
By mistakenly I have deleted user from the user list . After some time i came to know that , that user is productive user.
Can any one help me for how to recover the user from deleted list.
Thanks
Chimsi

Hi,
I do not think that will be possible. You can recreate the same user-id though, and he/she shall be able to carry on (get the workflow items, inbox, transport requests and so on, of the earlier user-id).
It maybe possible to search CDHDR and CDPOS tables to get some details of user deletion.
cheers,

Calling SAP GUI Client from a Java Webdynpro app.

Hello experts,
We would like to call the SAP GUI client from a java WebDynpro application running without portal or ITS. Can it be done by having a web link, with mime registration in internet explorer to kick off the SAP GUI ? (similar behavior with a SAP favorite link saved on the desktop).
many Thanks.

Hi,
Webdynpro possibilities:
1. You can try to use LinkToUrl.
with reference to file://<exefile> or your weblink with the mime type (possibly some java coding can be required; I can try to help).
2. other option is to use IFrame and you can use either href to your exe or weblink
Web Explorers:
1. IE: It should work. if you point to exe file popup window will be displayed asking for action (run, save, cance).
2. Firefox: the only way I know to make it work is to modify nsHelperAppDlg.js file (if you need Firefox I can tell you how to modify the file).
Kind Regards, Jack

Disaster recovery - Oracle

Hello!
Is there some simple step-by-step guide for disaster recovery of Enterprise 4.7, WAS 620, Oracle?
I am trying to create a disaster recovery scenario for our production based on DB13 backup and brrestore (I am doing backup to disk). The backup works fine and I have got the new machine to play with restore.
I am not very experienced BC and here's how my unsuccessfull try went on:
1. Installed the new SAP system on the "playground" machine with the file structure same as on production (the system was installed properly, I was able to log-on)
2. Stopped the new system and its database
3. messed a little with init<DBID>.sap until brrestore went on
4. brrestore-ed from the backed-up production files (the entire 'sapbackup' folder):
brrestore -b bdrfydrx.and -m full
; the brrestore run successfully and the files on the new system were replaced by the backed-up production files.
5. Attempted to run SAP: the processes were green for about 1 minute; however, I wasn't able to log on, and then the disp+work died (went not yellow, but rather grey)
6. Stopped the services
7. Replaced kernel with the production kernel (copied the entire 'usr' folder, shared the 'usr\sap' folder as saploc and sapmnt)
8. Attempt to start the services - it got even worse: the SAP<SAPSID>_<SYSNO> service wouldn't start. The popup says that the service returns no error, but it's rather a Windows or internal service error.
And now I'm stuck. Please help! The SAP notes on this matter (such as 96848 - Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on Oracle) have endless iterations of reference notes, and are not very tutorial-organized. The Installation Guide "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy..." includes only copy based on running SAPinst to export the database, not on backup/restore.
Is there something better?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Igor
P.S. If I survive, I promise to write a "restore for dummies" weblog on this.

Hello,
Here is the guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/72/96d34c435c3c4ca5894749ef1435ac/frameset.htm
Also,
I thought after you restroed the brrestore backup, you need to recover you database by restoring all your redo log files to the target server and issuing the command in sqlplus:
recover database until cancel auto;
Can you paste your alert log ?

Siddhesh

Good Recovery Strategy

Hi,
What will be the good Recovery Strategy for SAP systems including portal ( I mean considering frequency of backup restore of test system etc )
Regards,
Aprit
Edited by: Arpit1983 on Jul 16, 2010 9:42 PM

Hi Eduardo,
I have gone though this note but it did not suggest any restore or recovery stratergy.
I have been through https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/atg .But It is all general information. Is there any recovery startergy SAP suggest like Backup stratergy.
Regards,
Arpit.

Execution of the recovery

Hello!
I would like to know all the possible ways (and perhaps the prefered way) for the recovery.
According to ADM505 the BR*Tools should be used.
Can I also execute recovery from SAP? (e.g. with DB12 or DB13)
It will be great to get some helpful information in this area.
Many thank's
Regards
Thom

is there some possibility to do inckremental backup without RMAN, in order to save free space
no, incremental backups are done through RMAN only
Is that recommended to overwrite the old online backup with new one?
yes, but only after some time, let's say 5 weeks.
I guess, the "cds" - mode is not supported for remote back up, or?
if normal backups works remotely, CDS (brarchive) will also work.

PFCG Roles in Favorite menu

Hi,
I just learned how to create PFCG roles in R/3.
Is it possible to place these roles in the favorite menu?
I hope someone can help me with this one
tnx
hans

Hi,
" Is it possible to import transactions into a role from somebody's sap Favorites menu"
I did not understand.
There are two things
1. Is it Favourite menu of user transaction(From user/SAP transaction menu)
2. favourite menu section in PFCG, these are favourite roles but not transactions.
In second case you can copy role and make new role. But if you are asking for options of making a role based on the transaction in favourite list of user, there is no such option given by SAP, but you have to do manually if you have access to favourite section of user(I think this is somthing violating security policy).

Disaster Recovery Test

Hi,
Can anybody please guide, who'll play the major role in "Disaster Recovery Test"
like functional / basis / abap etc,,,

Hello Mahesh
Everybody has to play a major role , first Basis has to take action then abaper and then for testing Functional people required to put their effort.here is brief excerpt from an article regarding "Disaster recovery for SAP".
It will give all of us an idea about Disater recovery.
When you have your SAP system installed, you don't have a disaster recovery solution.
"SAP has standard methodologies for doing backups and restoring the SAP environment, but there's nothing built into their application that specifically targets disaster recovery,"
In other words, SAP tells you very explicitly what you need to protect, but you're on your own in figuring out how to make it happen. It is common practice among third-party solution providers to ask about disaster recovery, but if you're doing your own thing it is important to be aware of the need for a disaster recovery solution.
Outsourcing vs. building a secondary site:
There are two ways to go about setting up your disaster recovery solution: Outsource or build your own secondary site. Outsourcing may be more convenient and less expensive, especially for smaller companies on a tight budget. Simply approach the outsourcing company with your needs, and they will pretty much take it from there. Graap likens it to an insurance policy, where you pay a premium on an ongoing basis for the security.
If you decide to outsource, ask colleagues for recommendations and spend some time researching prices, which can vary a lot. But make sure the outsourcer can step up to the plate in the unlikely event that you need their services.
Building your own secondary site requires a larger investment up front but the leaves you in full control of your contingency plans rather than be at the mercy of an outsourcing company. If your outsourcing provider falls through for some reason -- such as being in the same disaster zone as your main office during an earthquake for example -- you're in trouble. When building your own site, you can prepare for more scenarios and place it far enough away from your main office.
High availability vs. cost:
Specialists say one of the most important questions to consider is availability and how quickly you need to get your systems back online. The difference between getting back online in 10 minutes or three days could be millions of dollars, so you want to make sure you get just the right solution for your company.
Around-the-clock availability will require mirroring content across two sites in real-time. This enables you to do an instant failover with little or no downtime, rather than force you to physically move from the office to a backup site with a stack of tapes.
Regardless of whether you outsource or set up your own site, a high availability solution is expensive.
"But if that is what it takes to keep your business from going under, it's worth every penny of it".
An added benefit of having a high availability solution is that you can avoid maintenance downtime by working on one server while letting the other handle all traffic. In theory, this leaves a window of risk, but most maintenance tasks, such as backups, can be cancelled if need be.
One consideration for mirroring data is the bandwidth to the secondary site. Replicating data in real-time requires enough capacity to handle it without hitches. Also, a secondary site will require the same disk space as your regular servers. You can probably get away with a smaller and cheaper system, but you still need enough storage space to match your primary servers.
Whatever the choice for disaster recovery, it is vital that both the technology and the business departments know about the plan ahead of time.
Testing your solution:
Ok, so you have a disaster recovery solution in place. Great, you're home free, right? Not quite. It must be tested continuously it to make sure it works in real life. Sometimes management can be reluctant to spend the money for a real test, or perhaps there are pressing deadlines to keep but it should be tested one or two times a year.
Many people who build good plans let them sit collecting dust for years, at which point half the key people in the plan have left or changed positions.Update the names, phone numbers and other vital information frequently and test them, he said. It is for the same reason you do fire drills: When the real thing strikes, there's no room for error.
In testing, consider different scenarios and the physical steps needed to get the data center up and running. For example, many disaster recovery solutions require at least parts of a staff to get on a plane and physically move to the secondary location. But September 11 showed how that is not easy when all planes are grounded.
Costly but vital:
Disaster recovery is not cheap, and it requires lots of testing to stay current, but it could save your critical data.
"Any customer who makes an investment in SAP is purchasing an enterprise-class application, and as such really should have this level of protection for their business". "I can't imagine why anybody would not have an interest in disaster recovery."

Hello Kiran,
1. Only you could made decision about your backup/recovery strategy.
2. There are the administration tasks that you have to perform regularly, see
u201CRegular Administration Tasksu201D at
   http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_6/25/5b27401544ed01e10000000a155106/content.htm
Also please review u201CChecklist for Recovery of SAP APO liveCache >= 7.4u201D recommended in my reply above.
3. If you could not find the decision about your backup/recovery strategy, I recommend to create the SAP ticket to check more details on what OS resources you have, what backup tools you are using, what APO applications you run. What backup/recovery strategy you have currently on your system.
4. The u201CBest Practicesu201D documents already recommended you ::
