Sandbox system in NWDI landscape

We are implementing a three tier NWDI landscape.  There is also some development in the sandbox as well.  Would it be a good idea to create a seperate NWDI for the sandbox environment so that none of the changes are included in the NWDI landscape of DEV --> TEST --> PROD?  Otherwise will it make a difference if our developers are coding on their local machines?

Hi ftoobe ,
welcome to SDN,
to be honest - I don't see any reason to have a 3 tier NWDi landscape at all... even 2 tier is for me pure luxury.
Why to you want to have such a landscape?
The NWDI is a infrastructure server. One NWDI server can handle several multi tiered development landscapes. We are running one porduction NWDI here as shared service witch almost 30 tracks 70 developers and maybe 30 or 40 runtimesystems connected. No problems. A nwdi test system would be nice but its to expensive in the long term for me...
So long

  • Two NWDI systemes in one landscape

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if it is possible to have two NWDI systems in one landscape (sharing same SLD) and do track forwarding between these two NWDI systems?
    The reason I want to do this is that I want to move the NWDI system to another platform. To avoid a big bang situation I would like for the developers to be able to "forward" the code from one server to the other as they like (over time).
    Do any of you have eny experience in this area?
    Thanks.
    Regards

    Hi,
    First of all thanks for your quick reply.
    Our situation is that we have a existing NWDI system connected to one SLD. We would like to install a second NWDI system connected to the same SLD. We would then like to close down the "old" NWDI system. But in order to save the development components from old SLD we need some form of transport to the "new" NWDI system. A possible solution I thought of could be to create new tracks in the "new" NWDI and forward the existing SCs from the "old" NWDI system to the "new" NWDI system.
    The reason we want to do this is because we would like to move the old NWDI system to a new platform without doing a system copy.
    My question is then if its possible to make this kind of forwarding between two NWDI systems (connected to the same SLD to share component information).
    Best regards

  • Question: How to add a Sandbox system as a second Quality System?

    Dear experts,
    I am kindly asking for your help and asking you to write me exact procedure on how to do this.
    We have a 3 system landscape - DEV, QAS and PRD. There are 2 routes from DEV and QAS:
    ZDEV and the SAP standard route and a delivery route from QAS to PRD.
    We also have built a Sandbox system, which we temporarily need to include in TMS, in order
    to perform a few transports from our DEV system to the Sandbox. When doing a transport
    (not sure exactly at which step), the system has to offer a choice, whether the transport to be
    imported in the QAS or in the sandbox.
    For sure I know that we will need to make /usr/sap/trans shared to the sandbox as well.
    Then I am kindly asking you to explain exactly how to setup this configuration.
    I am relying very much on your help, as I made quite bad experience with OSS messages, which
    are hanging for weeks without any answer... And I believe that this forum is faster and more precisely
    answered, than OSS messages. And we have 4 non-working days ahead, and right on tuesday in the
    morning I need to implement this configuration!
    Many many thanks in advance!!

    Hi Symon,
    You're right, the first step is to ensure that the SAPService<SID> user for your sandbox (let's call it SAPServiceSBX) must have the same level of access to /usr/sap/trans on your transport domain controller (usually, but not always, your DEV system) as the other systems in the transport domain.  If you are in a Windows Active Directory environment, this is most easily accomplished by adding the SAP_SBX_GlobalAdmin Active Directory group to the SAP_LocalAdmin local group on the DEV system.  Your SAPServiceSBX user should have already been a member of SAP_SBX_GlobalAdmin as part of the normal installation process when you created the SBX system.  If you are on another OS, I can't really help you there, but it must achieve the same effect of granting that file system access.
    Next, you need to tell SBX how to find the domain controller.  Log on to SBX as an administrative user and start transaction RZ10.  Open your DEFAULT profile and, if it's not already there or has something different, put in an entry with Parameter Name = SAPTRANSHOST and Parameter Value = the host name of your domain controller, i.e. your DEV system, where the /usr/sap/trans directory resides.  Save and activate the profile.  If you made a change here, you will probably need to restart the SBX system for it to take effect.  In the old days, you would have to add a SAPTRANSHOST entry to your hosts file on the operating system level and/or add it as an environment variable for your sidadm OS user, but I don't think that's necessary anymore, if you put it in the profile.
    After the restart, logon to SBX again, this time to client 000, as an administrative user and start transaction STMS.  Most likely, if SBX isn't a member of a transport domain already, you will get a popup asking you to add it to one (or to create one).  If so, put in the name of the transport domain (probably DOMAIN_DEV, but you can find it out by going into STMS on the DEV system), and any other details about the DEV system that it asks for.  If you don't get a popup, then select Extras... Delete TMS Configuration to reset it so that you are starting over fresh (you may have created a standalone transport domain just for SBX when you installed it, and if so you need to delete that so it can join your DEV domain).  You should get a message then that the system is waiting to be approved for inclusion in the domain.
    Now go logon to your DEV system and start STMS, then call up the System Overview.  If necessary, refresh the list.  You should see your SBX system there with a status indicating it's waiting for inclusion.  Click on the symbol, or select SBX and click in the menu SAP System... Approve, and now it should be in.  Once that's done, highlight all the systems in the list, then click SAP System... Update Configuration to distribute the information about the new system to all systems in the domain.  Now select SAP System... Check... and go through the three tests respectively to ensure everything is working.
    Back out of the system overview and go into Transport Routes.  Refresh if necessary.  You should see your ZDEV and SAP transport routes you mentioned earlier, and SBX should now show up as a Single System.  It's fine to leave it this way, and if this is temporary, I recommend leaving it this way.  Check the configuration for consistency, then select Configuration... Distribute and Activate (you can also do this from SBX with Adjust with Controller).
    That should be all you have to do to set it up.  You can do some further tests to ensure the Transport Groups configuration is good (from the System Overview screen).
    Because you have configured SBX as a Single System, transports released from DEV won't automatically show up in the SBX import queue.  However, you can forward transports there easily.  From the SBX system, in STMS, in the Import Overview, select the import queue (or import history) of your QAS system and highlight the transports you want in SBX.  Choose Request... Forward... System and select your SBX system.  They should now show up in the SBX import queue ready for import as normal.
    I hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Development over two system in the landscape

    Dear SolMan gurus.
    We face the following issue. Our customer wants to have 2 different systems in the landscape (CRM and R/3 system) under one project. How can we manage to create transport requests (TR) for both systems at onece. Or do I have to create one TR form one system and than create TR for second system. Is it possible ad all? We use SolMan 7.1 SP3.
    Thank you for your answers.
    Regards,
    Petr Syka

    Let us take one example
    for .e you have
    CR1
    CRM DEV -
    CRM Q-----CRM PRD
    ECC DEV -
    ECC Q -
    ECC PRD
    R/3 DEV--R/3 Q----R/3 PRD
    CR 2
    CRM DEV -
    CRM Q-----CRM PRD
    ECC DEV -
    ECC Q -
    ECC PRD
    R/3 DEV--R/3 Q----R/3 PRD
    now say for e.g CR1 has all the work completed and developer released the Task ...further TR is released and dont worry if some TR is blank that will automatically get deleted.
    but CR2 has still TR open and work is going on
    so in this case only the TR which is released for CR1 will get imported to respective QA by the background job.
    let me know if this resolves the problem

  • Manually delete Transport system - Sandbox system

    Hi All
    I am have a problem with our transport system on or sandbox system and basically what I want to do it get rid of it and set it up locally.
    As our system is a copy of our PRD it still has all the old config, what I would like to do is remove it in the database. Does any one know how to do this?
    It is a bit of a 'fudge' but seems the easiest way to do it.
    Many Thanks in advance
    Phil

    hello,
    Just delete (if necessary) the STMS configuration and describe your transport planning so that we can help you.

  • One BW system for several landscapes ??????

    Guys I would really apprciate some advice.  In the past I have set up BW systems for a landscape consisting of APO, ECC, SRM and of course the BW system to support these.
    I am now working for a company that has several ECC production systems live and some of these landscapes also have SRM. For the new landscape that we will be installing, consisting of SRM, ECC I have the opportunity of also installing a BW landscape, alternativly we could use a BW system that is already there in another landscape.
    My thoughts are that we share the BW system with another landscape as there could well be some reports that we could use, also is it the idea that there should be a consolidate data warehouse extarcting data from different systems in diffenet landscapes in to one BW system
    Any help appreciated ......

    Hi,
    with harmonization I mean, you need to make sure each e.g. material will come unique from each system. So with material no. 4711 you will always get a dish washer from each system and not a dish washer from system A and a car from system B.
    Hope that helps

  • Configuring EarlyWatchAlert for all the systems in the landscape

    Gurus ,
    In SDCCN can i configure EARLYWATCHALERT session with targethost as SDCC_OSS
    now this has been only for production system . can this be done to all the systems in the landscape ?

    Hi Susin,
    As per me i could say the EWAlert only be configured for your production system rather
    than the other systems(Dev/QA) existing in your ladscape.
    If you are thinking to schedule this Alert for other products(BI/EP/XI) or for other SIDs,
    then yes...please go ahead.
    Why i am saying we can only schedule the EWAlert for production system, coz the
    the EarlyWatch report uses the SDCC_OSS RFC, which is a copy of the SAPOSS connection. And the target destination refers to SAP's system where one copy of your
    weekly shceduled EWAlert report goes to SAP end as well.
    Please inform me incase any other queries...
    Thank you,

  • Diagnostics Agent installation - which SID for the systems in your landscap

    Hi,
    I have a question in regads to installing the Diagnostics Agent on the systems in your landscape: ie. I want to install the Diagnostics Agent on all systems, and SAP suggests the system ID "DAA" as standard sid. From my experience there are no errors or exceptions when I use the system id DAA for a few or all systems.
    However, will I run into problems later on (for example, when using root cause analysis, etc.)? Can I use the standard system id DAA for several systems/hosts, or should I use a seperate system ID (DAA, DAB, DAC, etc.) for each Diagnostics Agent?
    thanks,
    Walter

    Hi,
    We have used same SIDs (the default DAA) for a few hosts in our landscape and this did not cause a problem.
    But in my opinion best to use DAA, DAB, DAC etc in order to remove any room for confusion for both the humans and the systems

  • Exception due to UWL trying to access all the systems in the landscape.

    Hello everyone!
    We have a problem with UWL in all our environments.
    When a user is trying to see his tasks, an error appears at the top of the screen at the end of the update: u201CAn error occurred while trying to connect to the provideru201D.
    This happens because the UWL is trying to establish a connection with all the backend systems in the landscape including the ones that the end user has no username in.
    Because of that, the SSO fails to this backend system & we get this error.
    My question is: how do I limit UWL to access only the relevant systems?
    Thanks,
    Yoav Zilberman

    Hi Yoav ,
    Its very easy to solve your problem.
    First i would like to explain the your scenario .. so you can get the correct idea of what you need to
    do for your problem.
    Suppose there are
    2 user called UA and UB
    2 Roles RA and RB
    2 Back-end System SA and SB
    Let SA is accessing R3 system and SB is accessing SRM System.
    User UA is having SA access and User UB is having SB system access.
    Role RA is having  iviews for SA and Role RB is having iviews for SB Syetem
    Role RA assigned to user UA and Role RB is assigned to user UB
    So in your case when user UA is seeing his UWL he will be getting error for SB system and
    UB will be getting erorr for SA system.
    I hope you are getting same error ... explained above ..........???????
    Now Solution
    Now to solve the issue you need to edit the  Registered Universal Worklist Systems .
    Go to the Universal Worklist - Administration from System Administration->System Configuration
    Now select your desired registered System Alias and click edit button
    now you will see below mentioned attributes
    System Alias: * 
    Connector Type: *  
    Web Dynpro Launch System: 
    User Roles: 
    System Configuration Groups: 
    Delta Pull Channel Refresh Period (in Seconds): 
    Delta Pull Channel Snapshot Refresh Period (in Minutes):
    In above mentioned Attributes ... go to User Roles: and for SA Alias in User Roles type RA
    and for SB Alias in User Roles type RB.
    That's all.... your problem solved .. just clear the cache and test.
    How It works
    From Above case SA Alias will run only for users/groups those who are having RA role same as
    SB Alias will run only for those who are having RB role.
    So in your case when user UA will log-in only SA will get activated not SB so user will not see any errors
    for SB System.

  • Need to change screen colours for each system in the landscape

    hi ,
    we are in need of having different themes for different systems in the landscape .
    that is
    if i click development system , the screen with 'theme1'
    if i click quality system system , the screen with 'theme2'
    if i click production system system , the screen with 'theme3'
    how to configure this colour setting in accord to the system for all the users

    Hi Susin,
    You would do this by changing the parameter sapgui/theme for each system. It uses the Tradeshow theme by default as of Web AS 6.40. As long as the SAPgui itself is set to "System Dependant" then it should work fine.

    Hi PK,
    answer is Yes for the STMS and also you need to have a system defined as single type within maintenance cycle you re working in. Solman will be using your tasklist structure to understand which system is supposed to receive the import
    Since a couple of stacks it became possible to actually define the role type of system that is supposed to receive the import of TR. I mean by role type the kind of system like you define in STMS when declaring a logical component

  • Which problems transporting a kernel of functionalities from sandbox system

    Hi All,
    we are developing a kernel of functionalities on a ECC 6.0 sandbox system. Now we want to transport this kernel from sandobox system (AD0) to our development system (EPD). So all the new developments will be made from EPD. We have read the oss note 130906 about the copy of the complete version history of all AD0 repository objects. Which could be other kind of problems?
    Regards,
    Bob

    Anthony,
    Yes. Your interpretation is correct. Objects which are trying to import are already in change mode of some other XI change request.
    Just check if you / any other person has imported any other object before using differnt User ID and not activated yet.
    Solution:
    What you need to do is goto ID and select "Change List". Under change list select User ="ALL" and click on display..it will show you all change request( which are not activated) for all users.
    Right click on "Standard change list" under "change request name" and click on transfer...it will tranfer rrequest on your name..and you can activate them.
    Once you activate this you shall be able to import your objects again.
    Always remember to import one IB objecs file and activate it before importing new one...also import using same user id so that you will not get this kind of conflict.
    Note : When you import IR object ...they get imported in Active status where as you have to manually activate IB objects after importing.
    Hope this will solve your problem..
    Let us know if you need more details.

  • Sandbox system- Test data

    Hi,
    I am not sure which section to post this thread.
    Can anybody provide me with a document, that gives the basic steps to be configured in a sandbox system to create test data.
    We have a sandbox system installed and we have the test data in text files related to SD,MM,FI and IS-Retail modules around 280 tables.
    I need to know the basic configuration that has to be made for an IDES system to import all this test data and what is the easiest method for importing all these flat files and prepare it as a test system. The client wants this to be done in 2 or 3 days. I am not sure if that is possible.
    Could anybody please advice

    You can't do the system copy as "I install a new system and overwrite the database".
    There are a few points to consider:
    a) a heterogeneous system copy requires a certified migration consultant on-site, otherwise you'll loose support for problems during the migration and for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration and Hinweis 82478 - SAP System OS/DB Migration).
    b) the only supported way of doing such a migration is using R3load as the tool of choice. You'll have to start sapinst on the source system, export your database and import it into the target system
    c) direct database copies are not possible (Solaris SPARC is a BigEndian platform, Windows is LIttleEndian, Windows won't be able to open the files created by Solaris)

  • How to deploy the application into Test system in NWDI

    Hi ,all
    i hava some problems about NWDI, Could you help me ?
    I hava defined the test system in runtime system of NWDI .
    As a general ,it must be deploy the application into test system  for test before transport the CR, is it right?
    if so , how can i do to deploy the application into test system before assembly?
    regards.

    Hi Zhijun,
    Thank you for your repay.
    You are welcome
    After assembly , can i deploy the application into test system by CMS? mean that if it can be done not through CR?
    Yes, you import the changes on the "Test" tab of the transport studio of the CMS webui. This will deploy the changes to Test (to the system you have specified in the runtime system configuration for this track)
    and what is the benefit of Dev system and Con system
