Refresh 11.5.4 Apps from Prod to DEV

Hi All,
I am in the procees of refreshing 11.5.4 apps + DB
from production to DEV.
Please note on production autoconfig has not been
switched on. It is also not posible to implement it
on prod, as no proper dev/test system exist to
implementing the patch (part to switch on autoconfig).
Do you have any documentaion or URL where I could get
information on - "How to refresh 11.5.4" (not via
adclone or rapid clone).
It would be much appreciated if I get a copy of the
documnetation.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards, Kunal

You could try the following
Clone the DB by recreating the control file
Modify references to the hostname and port in the configuration files and scripts
Change the profile options
Relink executables
Compile invalid objects
Check the node names from concurrent managers

Transport object from Prod to Dev

Hi Folks,
Developer wants to restore a version of SAP "Smart Form" from production to Dev system as the one in dev system lost some modifications. In Dev system, it was always showing the current active version and there are no traces of old versions or i am not looking in the correct place.
In this particular landscape, there is no transport path between Dev and Prod. We manually FTP transports (Cofile and data files). Could you please, guide how to create a transport with a "Smart Form" from production to dev. After searching the forum, i could find only one posting talking about opening the production system and create a transport. I can open the production system for a brief period and create a transport but i am seeking for help if any one has done this before.
I am not sure if i have to crearte temporatry transport path.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello again rk_007
on this case, you can create a 'temporary' transport route from Production to Development (temporary on the sense that you can delete it afterwards. By all means, this route is just another normal one). By doing so, you will be able to create a transport request in the Productive system, release it and import it on the other system.
You just have to go to u201CSTMS --> Overview --> Transport Routesu201D, create the route you want and distribute the new configuration. Once that the transport is done you can delete that transport request.
Do you know who to manage transport routes? It's not difficult, you need to go to STMS transaction, click on the routes button (or Shift + F7), go on 'Edit' menu, then 'Transport Route' option then 'Add Transport Route'.
You can find everything explained here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/b4a1df7acc11d1899e0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Further and valuable information can be found here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/38de0c4eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/content.htm
http://www.sap-img.com/basis/transport-request-within-same-server-different-clients.htm
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/TMSassigningclassorpackagetoroute
But there is another option where the creation of a transport route is not needed, which might fit your need (and which I believe it's the FTP option you're already using):: you can create the transport request in Productive system (from SE01) and instead of creating a Workbench transport request, create a Transport of Copies. Once that the request is created, you can add the objects you need manually and release the transport request. The datafile and cofile will be created in the data and cofile directories of the transport directory of the Productive system; now you will have to copy manually (at operating system level) the datafile and cofile of the transport request to the transport directory of the Development system, and go to u201CSTMS --> Overview --> Imports --> double click in DEV --> Extras --> Other Requests --> Addu201D to add this transport request to the import queue of DEV system. Now you will be able to import it into DEV, avoiding the creation of the transport route from PRD to DEV.

Transfering apps from a personal dev account to an enterprise account

Has anyone had an experience with the subject?
My friend initially created several iPhone and iPad apps under his personal dev account and is ready to move on... He is thinking of registering a company and creating an enterprise account but is concerned with how he will be able to transfer all the apps... How long that would take, will the apps lose their ratings, will he still be able to notify existing users with the new versions, etc.... Should he transfer individual apps or there is an option of transferring the entire account...
Please share your experience or point me to a right source... My friend is apparently shy to ask himself, but I figured that pretty soon I will be facing the same question myself....
Thanks everyone for your responses

I will tell you my experience with this.
I'm doing some work for a stealth statup company.
They registered everyting under the company name.
They wanted to change the company name and re-release the app under a new name.
In effect, they had to "start over".
New developer account, new iTunes Connections accounts, etc.
It seems there is no "easy" way for an entity to simply change it's name.
So, for your friend, I would say, leave things already in the app store in his name.
Release new versions under the new name.
This might not work easily, as he may have to abandon / remove the old apps from the app store in order to release the app with the same name in the app store under a different company/entity name. Or maybe not.
I'd advise him to just call Apple Developer Support and ask....
"Can I re-release my current apps as a new version with the same name using a different compay name?"
The details being the app bundle will be different, com.old.myapp vs. com.new.myapp, as well.
The real answer will be if Apple allows the name-space collision from two entities.
In our case, our app and company name were the same, and when the company name changed, they made them separate, and also picked a new name for the app taking the product in a new marketing direction.
In your friend's case he wants to keep his popularity and ratings, and I don't know how Apple handles that part.
The question is more, can I transfer the ownership of my app to another entity without losing it's reatings?

Oracle Internet Directory propogation from prod to dev

I'm having a hard time figuring out how passwords from one Oracle Internet Directory are getting propagated to another. I've taken ownership of an OracleAS Portal system and the DBA who set both it and the development box up has long since moved on. I've had pretty good luck learning enough to be proficient from the documentation, but one aspect eludes me. When a password is changed in Production portal environment (whether through the Portal app or through the admin pages), the password change is almost immediately propagated to our development OracleAS Portal environment. I know this through testing, but also by checking the times for attribute "pwdchangedtime" in the Oracle Internet Directory. The development Oracle Internet Directory entry is updated roughly 5 seconds after the production entry.
I know there's something called replication, but from what I could glean from Directory Manager GUI, I don't think this is in play (though I can't say for sure). I also don't believe it is custom code or a scheduled job.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Found it! Been poking around and found an entry under "Server Management-->Integration Server --> Configuration Set1" for "OID Import". It was pointing at our production server. Mystery solved.

Client Copy SRM from prod to dev -Urgent

We have done the client copy and trying to change the logical system names. We are in the process of changing the SPRO-> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Cat
We want to change the source system but it is not enabled even in change mode. Only the G/L Account is enabled for change.
We will have to change in 2 to 3 more places
How do others do when it comes to client copy and change of logical names. Use BDLS or make is it because we have some missing roles hence the field is protected?
Any help/
Thanks

Hi
This is standard SAP functionality. The table which holds the data for
"Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Cat" is BBP_DET_ACCOUNT and it holds data in similar manner.
Since other fields except the GL account, are key fields, these are not coming as enabled in change mode. There is no problem with any settings as such.
Since you want to make chnages in 2 to 3 more places(better approach using create template functionality, firstly copy the existing entries and make changes to them and finally, delete the existing extra unrequired entries in the table.
1. Either using the SPRO path
SPRO-> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Categories
2. Or using SM30 transaction for the table - BBP_DET_ACCOUNT table
Hope this will definitely help. Do let me know.

RAC clone from PROD to DEV

HI,
I wanted to know what would be the steps to clone a RAC database instance to another RAC database instance, in this case PROD RAC to DEV RAC? Are there any docs out there?
Thanks in advance

The steps are no different to clone a single instance db.
With Oracle 11g there are 2 nice new feature in Enterprise Edition which makes creation and maintaining of a development system faster and easier:
=> Use RMAN Duplicate to clone a DB without the need of a backup location
=> Use DataGuard Snapshot Standby. This allows you to open the Standby DB for development (e.g. over the day) and resync it with production (e.g. at night). This reduces the need to do the cloning every time again.
See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/twp_dataguard_11gr1.pdf
Regarding Pre Oracle 11:
Cloning of the DB can also be done via. RMAN duplicate (see documentation), but you will need additional space to store the backup.
See Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) under RMAN Duplicate.
Furthermore in GridControl there is a nice GUI to do this.
Hope thats helps a little

Sebastian

Insert or Update data from PROD dc to DEV DB

We have one instance of a DB in PROD box and another in DEV box [unix]
Requirement is to write a script to copy data from PROD to DEV for 10 related tables.
Store Procedure will have input argument as Number or FromDt and To Date [date range]
Can anyone give step by step guide to do this? Have worked on Package proc and store proc for Oracle 8 but for long have no touch or Oracle. We have Oracle 10g at present.
TIA.

"@PROD" uses a database link (called PROD) to access the remote table. In the definition of the database link are all the sql*net parameters necessary for one database to connect to another.
You can start by reading the SQL Reference Manual to get the basics of the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement. It has links to other manuals as well:

Imp into Dev from Prod - schemas, data only, truncate tables

Hello,
I am going to impdp from Prod to Dev. This is a data only import. I plan to do a schema impdp. This is the command I plan to use:
impdp system/password schemas=user1,user2,user3,user4 directory=dir_123
logfile=imp123.log dumpfile=dump123.dmp content=data_only table_exists_action=truncate
1) Do I need to disable the contraints/triggers in Dev before doing impdp?
Is disabling contraints necessary in Dev since the contraints in Prod have no violations?
2) What is going to happen if in Dev the objects already exist? For example, an index on a table, would this index be over written during the impdp? Or do I drop the index in Dev prior to the import and then let the import create new ones?
3) What impdp options should I use, if I only want to truncate the tables belonging to the schemas being imported? What about existing objects, such as indexes, what is going to happen to the existing objects? Are they going to be over-written by the impdp?

When importing, did you keep the application ID? What happens if you choose a brand new ID (if that's an option, of course)?

Customization copy from ECC Prod to Dev

Hi gurus,
There is a complaint from our BI team that so much of customization was directly made in QA in the early phases of the SAP Implementation Project and this was not re-developed in DEV and moved to QA and Production. This has resulted in loss of customization in development and is not suitable for Unit and Product testing.
To put Prod and Dev in sync with customizing, I propose to export Prod / QA client 100 (with SAP_CUST profile) and import into DEV client 100. What are your views on
the best practices
technical feasibility
client security implications
Thanks for your help.

Abdul

The same product is installed, with the same release, in both systems.
All components in these systems, including add-ons, have the same development status.
> client security implications
SAP_CUST only copy customizing data. so, there is no risk of misusing production data as in case of system refresh.

Copying an app from one server to another using HfmCopyApplication.exe

Hi,
I am trying to copy an HFM application from Production Instance to DR Instance using HfmCopyApplication.exe.
I have added the Hyperion product folder of DR to the network of production so that I can select the Destination database connection file while running HfmCopyApplication.exe.
While running the HfmCopyApplication.exe as I select the MS_SQL_SERVER_hfm.udl for the destination and click Next I get an error.
The SQL Server database for DR instance is located in a different server and therefore it is not being able to connect it seems.
The error that I am getting says : "Failed to connect to the destination database using the UDL provided!"
"SQL Error : [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQL Server doesnot exist or access denied."
Please suggest how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Suchismita

It seems UDL cannot connect to the target database.
You can do the following check:
1. Ping DR database server from Prod App Server. If ping is ok, it means the network between Prod and DR is ok.
2. Check DR database is started.

TS2446 Hi! I tried to update a few apps from AppStore and to install new applications, but i got a message : " your Apple ID HAS BEEN disabled" !!! Please help me!!! What can i do now? How can i use my Apple ID? Please, i need help, i have this ID for 2de

Hi everyone!
I tried to update a few apps from my iPhone, and to install new applications from APPSTORE. But i got a message :" Your Apple ID has been disabled"!!!!!!
What can i do now? Can you help me please?
The same thing happend with my IPAD....
How can i do to function all this in the same way which was working till this problem appears.
I want to mention that i have 2 email adresses asociated with the same Apple ID.
wait for an feedback!
Thanks a lot!

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

Migrate DRM application from PROD to TEST environment

How I can migrate all DRM application from PROD to TEST environment. The first way this is using migrate utility and then create all export/import utility. But this way does not give 100% guaranty of identity the PROD and TEST environment.
As relation database I am using Oracle DB. Can I migrate DRM application using exp/imp utility for oracle users (MDM and MDM_DB) and after that changing information directly in oracle tables in the TEST environment?

This response is not timely but others may find it useful...
You can use the Oracle database export and import processes, but there are several additional steps in the process. In general this is a high risk endevour that should not be attempted by the faint of heart. (See #3 below!) Attempt at your own peril.
1) Make a copy of the Username table so that you have the Test versions of the encrypted passwords for DRM internally managed accounts. These will need to be updated post import if there are any differences.
2) After you delete the tables in Test, it's best to create them with the install scripts prior to import because once an Oracle table containing a blob datatype has a stored value the Oracle import is no longer tolerant of changes in target tablespace names for all tables containing blobs within that schema. (Known bug) However, the create tables install script has an insert statement or two that need to be commented out or the import will create duplicate rows that will cause errors enabling constraints.
3) After the import completes all exports and books need to be modified to no longer point to production target locations, especially for exports to database tables! Ideally this step would be completed and QA'd prior to starting the application server; however, the application server must be running if the migration utility is going to be leveraged to propagate these updates so the process I use is to lockout all users until this step is completed.
4) Also note that if the Prod and Test app servers are not using the same authentication settings the system preference needs to be changed or the application server may not start.

Installing app from app store

When I try to install an app from the appstore on my iPad3, a popup box appears that says "Improve your Apple ID security"To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose three security questions and answers and gives me two options 1. Not Now 2. Continue. When I choose Not Now, the pop up box disappears and nothing happens. When I choose continue, it asks me for the Apple ID password. When I enter the password, it asks again for the password. This happens continuosly and my app does not get installed. My settings have Automatic downloads ON, in General, Restrictions Off and Download Apps ON. What I am doing wrong. My IOS 6 is fully updated.
Shekar

You can try this, but based on the fact that so many other users have reported this same problem, it must be some issue with the Apple servers that is causing this. What I suggested was a workaround that seems to stop the password loop, and you might just have to wait until Apple fixes this since you cannot purchase from iTunes.
Try the iBookstore. I think you can download books in India. There should be samples books that you can download at not cost, maybe that will trigger the same response as a download in iTunes.
One other thing that might work is to refresh your Apple ID.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

Charged my email(user name) and now we can't update apps from the original email is there a way to link?

apps from old email user name will not update. Anyone know how to link this

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad and whether you can then update the older apps. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.
