Role of spau and spdd and steps to starup upgrade

hi all
i want to know about the steps to start upgradation and role and at what stage sapu and spdd come in scene.
Thanks.

T.code SPAU and SPDD are used for adjusting Standard Objects.
1) SPDD: This is for data dictionary corrections.
This is mostly done by BASIS people .
2) SPAU: This is for repository objects (programs, functions, classes, etc.).
This is done by an ABAPer
In this Transaction for all Objects you will be doing a version Comparsion.
If you find any changes are done by the Customer in the Standard u will be Carry forwarding those changes in the new sytem which you are upgrading by ADOPTING MODIFICATIONS.
If you don't find any Customer Changes u will RESET TO ORIGINAL.

Tcode: SPAU and SPDD

Hi Guys,
Can some one explain me briefly about the Tcodes: SPAU and SPDD.
why these Tcodes are needed, wht is thr usage.
How to use these Tcodes.
Example me with some examples.
Thanks,
Lee

Hi,
Support Packs are the upgrades we get for one release of SAP. For example, for component 4.7 you have support pack levels too (you can see this in transaction SPAM). SAP releases support packs for standard corrections which you can also implement separately through OSS notes (if you do not want the import the support pack). OSS notes might not carry all the changes that the SP might bring.
These are the two activities that an ABAPer does during upgrade:
1. SPDD: This is for data dictionary corrections. If any standard tables have been modified, then that object appears in the list and you have to adjust it again after comparing the versions.
2. SPAU: This is for repository objects (programs, functions, classes, etc.). These have to be compared to the previous versions too and any missing bespoke code is to re-inserted. However, there are a few cases where it need not.

Steps :
( (1) All Z programs and customization are adjusted in repository.
(2) Using these transaction the sap prepare phase undertakes all these.
( (3) Then u might have to take the Combined and Unicode C process which is like combined upgrade and uniconverison as well.
(4) First step is to change all ABAP programs to Unicode enabled.
(5) You have to run a upgrade tool called SPUM4.
( (6) Then u have to do data maintainence consistency check etc.
(7) Actually all this is done automatically when you run SAPUP and sapprepare.
(8) Run SPDD and SPAU transaction for data dictionary correction and repositary.

Transaction SPDD allows you to process Data dictionary objects needing adjustment. You should be very careful while making/accepting the changes as the impact is more than changing the program. The delay in SPDD will delay the upgrade project. The time frame for SPDD is before downtime and SPDD is performed in sand box client
OSS note adjustment is also a part of SPDD, where we either reset the OSS note (It will come default with the upgrade version) or apply the OSS note (If OSS note is applicable for our release and if possible note should be applied using SNOTE.)
Transaction SPAU allows you to process Repository objects needing adjustment.
This task involves changing/accepting the SAP standard object brought in by SAP because of upgrade. We might wish to retain the changes from previous version in SAP standard object because of typical business scenario. SPAU comes after the downtime phase of upgrade and is carried in normal client.

Help required in running SPAU and SPDD transactions for post upgrade

Hi All,
We are doing a system upgrade to EHP1.
We need help in SPAU and SPDD runs and why are they required in upgrade activity.
Kindly respond.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,
SPDD and SPAU are modification adjustments that you need to adjust after upgrade. This is a situation where the upgrade has to enhance some structures and elements that was available in previous version (probably 3.x). The system can not determine whether to overwrite the structures or to retain the old version. If the structures are custom structures, the system might overwrite any enhancements that you have done. In this kind of situations, the system puts any such structures and elements that it can not make a decision into these 2 lists. SPDD is for dictionary objects and SPAU is for configurations. You have to fix all the issues that are produced in these transactions. You need to first fix the ones in SPDD list and then the SPAU list. Once you drill down in those lists, it asks you to take actions like "change it", "keep the old version" or "ignore the changes" (I think these are the options). You need to chosse these options based on your analysis and turn all the yellow and red ones into green. Hope this gives you some idea.
Thanks and Regards

Regd SPAU and SPDD!!!

Hi,
I am involving in technical upgradation. I am getting the list of programs from my onsite persons and just correcting the programs and sending them the modified ones. But I want to know where exactly SPAU and SPDD transaction codes comes into picture. I never check these two tcodes while modifications. I have modified lot of pgms as of now. But I want to know about these transaction codes. Can any one tell me how and when can I use these two tcodes?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramesh,
When you modify any SAP Standard object it get a modification tag marked to it.
This modification tag is considered while you are upgrading and the complete list of modified objects is identified by SAP into 2 parts.
1. Data dictonary objects
2. ABAP Program (includes Executable programs, Includes, FM, etc..)
1. SPDD - Data dictonary objects are displayed in DDIC. This is done by BASIS guys while installations only.
Reason: If the dictonay structure is not updated before you execute the programs they might give you a run-time dump.
2. SPAU - Programs are later listed seperately. These objects are to be checked and adjusted later after the installation of the upgrade version is complete.
Hope this explanation is enough for you. If you want some specific info do let me know.

Kunjal

SPDD & SPAU and EhP4 before or after ?

Hello all
We intend to go for upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6 with EHP4 ..We are planning to have SPDD & SPAU first then install EhP4 and then again SPDD & SPAU. But my question is in order to save time can we skip the initial SPDD & SPAU analysis n fixation part and directly go to EhP4 installation and then do the SPDD & SPAU analysis .?
Please help
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh

Hello Friend,
Rgrding the SPAU and SPDD...I would suggest that the way you have taken is correct...
Because you are upgrading ECC6 from 4.6c and i can expect there are lot of customization!
so first to SPAU & SPDD after ECC6 again after ENh4 (because enhancement package can bring some new feature alongside the ECC6)...
In that way it is easy to maintain the system and existing code...
good luck

Question on SPAU and SPDD.

Hi Everybody,
I have gone through the links and the questions in SDN and ended up in some confusion...
What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
Will they come in these transactions?
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Please provide me the information..
Thanks in advance...

hi Sankar,
Please find below, answers to your questions:
I have gone through the links and the questions in SDN and ended up in some confusion...
1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU. 
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
 Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
Will they come in these transactions?
 Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity. 
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option
Hope this helps,
Sajan Joseph.

Can someone briefly explain what is SPAU and SPDD

Hi All,
I would like to have some clarity on SPAU and SPDD. Different sites show different explanations.
Can someone briefly describe them?
Thanks
Vijay

SPAU - The adjustment of Repository objects is carried out with transaction SPAU. Only those objects that have been modified by you and are being redelivered by SAP in an upgrade are presented for adjustment. If the objects you modified are not being delivered by SAP with the current upgrade, then they do not appear in the display.
The system automatically recognizes during upgrade if modification adjustment is necessary. You are then prompted to perform the modification adjustment.
You must decide whether the objects contained in the adjustment list should retain your modifications or if they should be reset to original. This is mandatory and must be carried out for each object visible in the adjustment transaction. Otherwise, the new original stays active in your System. The objects continue to be displayed in SPAU as not adjusted.
SPDD - You need not perform adjustments with transaction SPDD if you have made no changes whatsoever to the SAP standard objects of the ABAP Dictionary You have only added your own development work to the SAP System, that is new domains, data elements, or table structures in the customer namespace. Only changed SAP objects require further processing.
For more details you may refer below mentioned links.

Installing second Exchange server 2010 with all roles (CAS, HT and MB) in the same domain?!

Dear all,
first of all thanks for reading this topic :-)
In our enviroment, we have a Exchange 2010 server (Version: 14.01.0438.000), whitch is installed with all server roles (CAS, HT and MB) on one server(OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise). This exchange server sends all external mails to a smarthost (Redddox).
We are using Outlook Anywhere, Active Sync and OWA.
Now, we need to migrate this Exchange server to another one, because we think, that the server´s OS is corrupt and also, there are wrong licenses installed. The "new" server will have the same OS Version and Exchange Version (2010).
Currently I´m a little afraid, to install a new one - because I think when I will install the CAS and HT role, something will happen in my productive enviroment (Autodiscover, SMTP Connectors, Cerficates a.s.o.).
To install the mailbox role, I think this will not affect anything.
Can you help me a little bit in what to take care of? Do I need to preconfigure something, before I will install the second exchange? What about the version / service pack of Exchange to install? Must it be the same as installed on the first one?
Any help would be appreciated!
Jennie

Hi Jennie,
Below are the steps if you are not planning to upgrade.
1) Install new Exchange2010-SP3 Server all roles Please check
this
2) Install the certificate in the new server by requesting a duplicate from the 3rdparty CA. Or export from the existing Exchange 2010 and import to the new one. Please check
this
3) Set your autodoscover, OAB, ECP, OWA URLs same as the current Exchange. Below artciles will help you to do that.
For OAB, Autodiscover, EWS please check steps 5,6,7in this
For setting OWA and ECP URLs please check
this.
4) Move few mailboxes as a test and check. If no errors move the rest.
5) Move your OAB generation server to the new server. Please check
this
6) Move you public folder contents to the new server you have. Please check
this
7) Configure your firerwall to receive emails on the new server and other services like EWS, OWA, ActiveSync.
8)
Add the new server as the source server and in the current send connector and remove the old server from the send connector.
Shutdown the server for a couple of days and monitor. So you will know if you missed something.
Uninstall Exchange2010 from the add remove programs.
Thanks, MAS

Allowing Airwatch MDM access to the Captive-Portal guest users in pre-auth role for android and BB?

Requirement:
How to allow Airwatch MDM access to the Captive-Portal guest users in pre-authentication role for Android and Blackberry devices?
What is Airwatch MDM?
Airwatch MDM is Mobile Device Management. The Airwatch is an enterprise which helps to manage and secure data traveling through the mobile devices like Laptops, Tablets, Android, iPhones, iPads etc.
Solution:
Why we need to allow access to Airwatch MDM?
The network administrator can force the guest users to register to Airwatch MDM before they get authenticated and access the internet. So that the network administrator could manage the guest devices through Airwatch Management tool. This can be achieved by CPPM server. To download the Airwatch MDM app and register with the Airwatch MDM server certain domains should be permitted in the captive portal pre-authentication role. This KB provides the configuration steps to allow the guest users to download the Airwatch MDM app and register with the Airwatch MDM server.
Configuration:
Below is the configuration
Configuration steps:
1. Create the following netdestinations
netdestination Airwatch
name *.awagent.com
name *.awmdm.com
name air-watch.com
netdestination Google-Play
name android.clients.google.com
name .ggpht.com
name gstatic.com
name accounts.google.com
name clients1.google.com
name clients2.google.com
name clients3.google.com
name clients4.google.com
name i.ytimg.com
name google-analytics.com
name .1e100.net
name android.l.google.com
name mtalk.google.com
name clients.l.google.com
name googleapis.com
name gvt1.com
netdestination BlackBerry
name *.blackberry.com
2. Now define the rules in the session acl and map it to the pre-authentication Role of the captive portal.
ip access-list session Airwatch_Access
any   alias Airwatch svc-http permit
any   alias Airwatch svc-https permit
ip access-list session Google-Play-Store
               any   alias Google-Play any permit
ip access-list session BlackBerry-Access
               any   alias BlackBerry any permit
3. Now map the session ACLs to captive-portal pre-authentication Role as follows
user-role Guest-Pre-Auth-Role
access-list session Airwatch_Access
access-list session Google-Play-Store
access-list session BlackBerry-Access
access-list session logon-control
access-list session captiveportal
4. Now whitelist the list of domain names in the Captive Portal profle
aaa authentication captive-portal Airwatch-Captive-Portal-Profile
white-list Airwatch
white-list Google-Play                                                                                ------------>Netdestinations where you defined the Domains.
white-list BlackBerry
Verification
Now the user will be placed under the "Guest-Pre-Auth-Role" before the authentication. The user can now go the Google Play-Store or BlackBerry Appworld to download the Airwatch MDM and register to Airwatch Management Server.

Thanks so much getting these names listed out. I have been working on this very issue for a few weeks and was basing my firewall rules on IP's. It was not going well. Now access is working and testing can commence!  Thanks,Chris

Bestway to find difference between two roles in quality and production

Problem in using Step into and Step Over button in Test Stand user interface development.

hi,
I am developing operator interface in VC++
currently I am facing a problem, I have created Teststand UI button controls dynamically on the dialog, I have assigned the buttons for break, Resume, Break all, Resume all, Step into and step over.
Break, Besume, Break all , Resume all buttons are working fine, the Step into and step over buttons are enabling if I break the execution, but after breaking the execution when I click the Step into button I expect that the current step will be executed and, breaks at the next statement, but when I click the Step Into button It is behaving like resume button, I mean the executioin is going on till the end of the sequence file, it is not breaking at the next statement,
Is my Step into button working the way it is supposed to be?, it is the same case with my step over button alsoI am connecting the TSUI button control to the execution view mgr in the CTestExecDlg:nDisplayExecutionApplicationMgr(LPDISPATCH exec, ExecutionDisplayReasons reason)
message funciton , and nothing I am doing nothing else, this is my code statement how I am connecting the button to the execution view manager.
mExecutionTab.m_pControlPtrArray[0].mExecutionViewMgr->ConnectCommand(mExecutionTab.MiscControls.m_StepInto,CommandKind_StepInto,0,CommandConnection_NoOptions);
mExecutionTab.m_pControlPtrArray[0].mExecutionViewMgr->ConnectCommand(mExecutionTab.MiscControls.m_StepOver,CommandKind_StepOver,0,CommandConnection_NoOptions);
Am I missing anything wrong? Can anyone please help me out.

Al B,
I'm not the original author of this post, but I have encountered a similar problem. My C# application has implemented the following "debug" buttons that work just fine: Run All, Pause, Continue, Stop. But my Step Over button causes the Sequence to run to completion. When the user clicks on the StepOver button, only one line is executed:
this.axExecutionViewMgr.Execution.StepOver();
but it behaves like its calling
this.axExecutionViewMgr.ResumeExecution();
Can you offer any insight into this issue?

Are roles in SXMS_CONF_ITEMS and SLD consistent?

hello!
i installed and configured my new XI system.
when i go in Runtime Workbench (via browser) i see an error in result of Integration Engine monitor .
"Are roles in SXMS_CONF_ITEMS and SLD consistent?"
i check all in SLD and i think is ok.
have you any suggestion?
thanks
Alex

The role of a business system is defined centrally in the SLD.
However, you can overwrite this setting locally in the table SXMS_CONF_ITEMS.
This test checks whether the role descriptions are consistent. If not, the locally defined role is used at runtime.
if helpful reward points are appreciated
