Refresh of BW development from BW production - consequences

One of the customers I work with - we are looking at refreshing BW Development system from BW production - just to bring them in sync .
I believe this can cause issues with
1) object ownership - the TADIR entry for all objects - "originating system" is either SAP or DEV
2) version management on ABAP programs - i guess all history is lost
Looking forward to your experience and comments on this issue

Hi,
First you need to make sure that the dev size is same as Production to accomodate the data.
All current work and data will be replaced with Production objects and data.
You'll need to recreate SM37 jobs, infopackages, any dev work thats not in Prod.
Data will be the same as in Prod and that might be an issue as Security in dev will not be as stringent as in Prod. Even if you bring over Security from Prod to Dev, it'll be a lot of restriction on the developers. You can refresh Dev from a previous backup of Prod that dosen't have the current data.
Cheers,
Kedar

  • Need  to refresh Quality DB  from its Production DB

    Hi Forum ,
    We have Production Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 Database and also have Quality DB with same version 11.2.0.3.0 . Both the Database's are available in different machines with different SID.
    Like:
    Production SID: EBP
    Quality SID: EQP
    OS: AIX
    Customer: has rasied a request to refresh the Quality DB from its production DB. I have read various online documnets for it but every documnet is creating new auxillay database. I my case i already have auxilary DB SID as EQP .
    Pls help me how can i refresh my quality DB in respect to Production.

    Hemant ,
    EQP is the quality DB of EBP, which is used for testing purpose by developers. I have to update the DB data available in EQP with EBP
    If you do not want to drop the existing quality DB EQP and want to append the data from EBP to EQP.
    Then, probably you can use datapump export import with TABLE_EXIST_ACTION=APPEND option.

  • How to port database changes from development to a production environment

    How do I port database changes from the development to the production environment?
    I am using v8 and have always had to redo everything using the schema manager all over in the production environment. Is there an easy way to generate a script, for example to dump the database changes on the development machine to be executed later on the production machine?

    This should already be a clearly defined change control process. Once a procedure, function, package, trigger, or whatever completes the testing rounds, it should be promoted to production.
    Forgive me if it seems I'm trivializing, but I don't see the problem, just copy the object(s) from your software library (or development) into production using whatever tool works best or has been chosen. If you are doing data copies then you have various options again including good old export/import.

  • Transportation of Work books from BW Development to BW Production

    Hi,
    I have Transported 0FIGL_C01 InfoCube from BW Development to BW Production and have loaded Data also.
    with the cube Queries have also come in the BW Production..
    But i did not get workbooks in BW Production?
    How to bring work books into BW Production?
    Please tell me step by step procedure
    Help will be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks in advance...
    This is ver urgent...

    Hi
    Unlike Queries, usually workbooks are saevd either under a role or under Favourites.  So if you have saved the your workbooks under a role, you need to have that role assigned to you to view the workbooks. The roles and profiles might be quite different in dev and QA because of authorisations, so look into them carefully. If the developer saves the workbook as a favorite can you still transport it and see it? After transporting the workbooks you will need to retransport the roles they are assigned to. Once the roles are transported after the Workbook transport ..all the workbooks are visible.. The  rule is to transport the roles only once and never after, else all workbooks contained in that role in the target system will be wiped out.
    Just for safety sake, it is a good idea to maintain all the workbooks on a secure location, so that in case they are wiped out, you can use these to re-establish them. We create our workbooks directly in production.You can also confirm this by going to RSA1 -> Transport Connnection -> Click on Object Types -> Expand Query Elements -> Query -> double click Select Objects -> Search by your query Technical name -> Transfer. Once you get ur Query and all its object in the righmost box, under Transport request column you should see the Request number that you have created for all the query elements you have changed. If this is not the case then you assign it by checking the transport box for the query and Transport button

  • How to export tables from development server to production server

    HI,
    Any body plz let me know how to export tables from development server to production server. what are the user names and password i need to ask my manager to do that. what are the requirements i need to ask him.
    Plz reply me ASAP.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi buddy
    first of all you should let us know the environment of production and development servers
    database versions
    and you need to have userid which has privilege to export tables of other schema. userid(owner) of the tables you want to export.
    Traditional way
    export tables in development server and then ftp to production and then import
    in the above case you should have similar database structure(tablespace etc) to avoid errors...
    if there are few tables only , you can use dblink instead of export and import...

  • How can I remove the 'Qty' text from individual product descriptions?

    I didn't know if this was possible or not... I've recently taken the reins of handling an ecommerce site that had been published before I got on board. My boss wants me to remove the 'Qty:' description from some products because the image shown for some products is a misleading description of the actual quantity available (i.e. there is a picture that shows a stack of conveyors parts, and it says 'Qty: 1' to represent one 'stack' of conveyor parts - this confuses customers into thinking there's only one individual conveyor part available however). To avoid any confusion he requested that I remove the 'Qty' text from similar images. I see that you can change the 'In Stock' amount of a particular product underneath the 'Inventory' tab of the 'Products' menu, but I didn't know if it was possible just to remove the quantity description altogether without just typing the quantity in at zero. This is likely a strange question but I didn't know where else to ask! I would appreciate any help or advice Thank you

    Hi ewhelhalu,
    I just figured out a way to do it, but it's a little weird and complex, and I have no idea what the consequences for editing this .plist string might be. I'm thinking it'll be OK, but you never know what might happen when you screw around with Apple's intentions.
    So if you have the Developer Tools on your install of OS X, you can use the Property List Editor to edit the Dock files. (If you don't have this program, you can use a program like [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> to selectively install stuff from your Leopard disk).
    The file you're interested in is within Macintosh HD > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences, and it's called com.apple.dock.plist. Open that up with Property List Editor, and open the arrow drop-down next to "Root." The lines you're looking for are "persistent-apps" (the left side of your Dock) and "persistent-others" (the right side). If you open the drop-down arrows, you'll see there are numbers below each. The numbers correspond to your Dock items, from left to right.
    If you click on drop-arrows by the numbers, a sample hierarchy looks like this: 0 > tile-data > file-label. It's the "file-label" string that you want to edit. Just make it ("it" being the name of the icon under the "value" column) blank, save the file, go into Terminal and type "killall Dock" without the quotes, and your Dock icon should appear without a name. You'll have to do this for all of them.
    I should insert the usual caveats here about backing up beforehand and making sure that you have a copy of the .plist file before you start tweaking it so that you can replace it if things go wrong. And perhaps someone with more knowledge of Terminal or third-party apps than I have will come along and suggest a simpler solution. But that's the only one I have.
    Hope that helps!

  • RoboHelp 9: Latest WebHelp not working from our product

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but my help files aren't working properly. I've made edits to them since last year, but when I open the help files from our product, I see last year's help files... not the current ones. Is there anything you can think of that would cause this issue?
    Basically, I'm having trouble with the deployment of the help files. They don't appear to be available in the deployment package. What can I do to confirm that they are present (and correct) in the deployment package?

    Yes to both questions. I am wondering if I gave the right files to the developers, though. Is there a particular file type that needs to be there: .chm for example? I'm not sure if the issue is on my end, or the developer's.

  • ESR role in different development, test, and production systems

    Hello,
    I want to know the role of ESR in development, test, and production system. Do I have to install ESR in every seprate installated SAP CE machine??? or should It be centrally and development., test and production systems can use it?? Does software release process effects in the whole landscape??
    does Test and Production system requires ESR??? or all used services are embed into released software SCA files to test and production system???
    Regards,
    Naeem

    Hey,
    as far as I understood the ESR is a design time tool, i think  you don't need to have a productive instance.
    I think it should be installed on your PI systems. And I would prefer to have at least a devel and a test installation, to
    separate services on test machines from those who are running on productive systems.
    as you can't differentiate the services by their name but just by their systems, you should have separate ESR Instances.
    Nevertheless I think it could be possible to run only one ESR....
    Kind Regards

  • Looking for SAP solution to extract data from the production system

    Hello,
    we are looking for the SAP standard tool to extract data from the production system and copy it to the development system. It should be as functional as some kind of partial client copy. The data, which we need to replicate is master and transactional data from FI, CO, AA MM and nice to have FS-RI modules. There is a product offered by the IntelliCorp called "Data Management" but we would like to know if SAP offers its own product.
    Kind regards,
