Setting up a SAP development system

Most of my applications I have developed using SAP systems at client sites. I would love to be able to setup a development system in my own LAB.
Could anyone advise me as to how I can get hold of a copy of SAP so I can develop my applications in house.
Many thanks

Last night I installed "SAP Netweaver 04 TESTDRIVE SR1" with MaxDB7.5.
The target machine was an IBM Thinkpad T30 with 512MB of memory 40GB HD running SUSE 9.1.
The first step was to install SUSE 9.1 from DVD. The installation was simple enough, followed up by an automatic install of patches and updates from the SUSE website.
The install instructions for WAS are straightforward. The only snag I hit was when trying to run the install script. I had not logged in as root (as recommended in the docs), but su'd from a shell. Once in the root shell I needed to set the DISPLAY and run xhost as the user logged in. The install scripts try to display the EULA in a popup, without giving root the display permission the scripts return a message indicating that the EULA cannot be found.
Everything else was straightforward and 6.40 is running happily in the SAPGui for Java.
The only downside is that I left my SUSE DVD at home as Apache and PHP were not installed by default. Getting a quick integrated script together will have to wait until tonight.

Need suggestion on importing BC SET : UKM_DCD_CUST in SAP ERP system

Dear Gurus,
Client wants me to import BC SET : UKM_DCD_CUST into SAP ERP system. I have found BC SET : UKM_DCD_CUST in T code SCPR20.
I have read most of the SCN discussion and got two way to import BC SET into ERP system as given below. But I need the appropriate way to do this. Can any one help me in this?
1. SCPR20 -> Activate BC set -> create customizing request to import into another system as per link :Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets) and their use - Basis Corner - SCN Wiki
2. Create TR in SE01 in 000 and import into required client as per below proc:
Usual procedure
1) BC SETS will be attached to SAP note usually. Download it and unzip it , you will get a *.bcs file
2) Call transaction SCPR20  BC set --> Upload In the dialog box that then appears, specify the files that you unpacked
Import the set BC into a package that you have defined. activate it with the "Expert mode"
3) You will also get a *.txt file with prog id , obj etc entries , then you have to go to SE09 and create a transport request in the source client of your Solution Manager system (client 000). Open the *.txt and copy the entries it contains into the transport request. Use transaction SCC1 to import the data in your Solution Manager client(s)
Thanks,
Anand Aseri

2). Client copies bring the Customization data but not WorkBench . So you might have to do transport of copies from Old Dev to >New Dev.
So you are saying that the system copy from Production will not bring Workbench data and I need to bring Workbench data by transports?
*system copy from Production will bring Workbench data also, but when you do client copy from development system again on top of client which already has production customization, data and workbench requests, Production customization and data will be overwritten from development customization and data (it depends on the profile you choose for the client copy) *
However Development Workbench requests are more and also has ongoing development work which might not be available in production client and those (Ongoing development workbench requests) you need to import in new system as transport of copies after the client copy
3). If you do system copy from Production and do client copy from dev...obviously Prod customization will be overwritten with Dev rite ?
That's what I expect to happen,
Ok, however, You might need to get Development Work too from the old dev system and don't forget about setting up of partner profiles in WE20.
It's just a thought , Do you have testing client in Dev, if not,You can leave the production client in development system and use it as testing client.
Create new client which is client copy of Old Dev and import WorkBench requests *

Arjun

Where i can find the deleted transport request in SAP development system?

where i can find the deleted transport request in SAP development system?

Hi,
When you delete the transport request from SE10 , you can not find the request entry from E070 and E071.
and only local change request are possible to delete from SE10 /SE09
if you are try to delete the change request with target system then it's gives you the error that request cannot be deleted because it contains locked objects.
It's not possible to find out the deleted request from SE10.

How to check the Customizing setting in Different SAP CRM System

Hello Guru's
I want to know how to check the Customizing setting in Different system i.e (Sandbox,Development,Quality,Production)
I mean to say that i was to check all the 4 system are in same line in all the aspects or sink with each orther
Thanks in advance
With Regards
Sreeram

hi
to synchronise all the clients in the CRM,u need to structure ur transport request,that is whenever a request has been made,the same has been transported to all the clients or not
Go to T-Code -SE09 and copy all released transport request from each client from Sandbox,Development,Quality,Production and match all request manually.
this is just a way other may be to see manually all the settings in all the clients

About sap bw system Copy or backup ?(URGENT)

Hi gurus:
     Hi friends,I saw many theads about this subject,and I found many documents,But STILL I can't find the way to solve my problem.
     It is: How to export the objects I created in develop system to a harddisk, then import it to the QA system . Dev to QA with harddisk NOT online?
     And can I backup the whole bw system in the harddisk,and restore the bw system in the qa system istead ? how to backup the bw system ?
All useful reply will assign points
thx

Hi Zegion,
I think the following may help you:
Purpose: Preserves logical system dependent objects for restoration in case of a system copy issue when a logical source system is deleted or deactivated. BW will auto re-generate a lot, but not these objects.
1.     Create on a development system like BWD, because the system is set as a development system in SCC4 and can create and export transports, and will include all objects. A dummy can be used for comparison if the system to be copied is production or test.
a.     If creating on another system, like BW test (BWT) or production, you must first open the system in
   i.     SE06 System Change option modifiable /BIC and /BI0
   ii.     SCC4 client settings set like in BW Development system (BWD)
   iii.     STMS in client 000 from BWD (domain controller)
            1.     Remove BWT from transport path
            2.     Setup new 2-system path BWT-BW? (BWS or virtual system). This creates a ZOUO transport layer, allowing creation of non-local/not $TMP package transports (see complex sample below)
2.     Go to RSA1-Admin workbench, Transport Connection
    a.     Select Object Types
    b.     Set for Grouping-Save for system copy
    c.     Set for Start manual collection
    d.     Set for Display List
3.     Drag and drop source system (select from select objects list and transfer selection) to collection window, example SCEM, SC0CLNT575, DEVCLNT100, SAP_DEMO. I recommend only doing one source system at a time for maximum flexibilityand because the R3 sources are very large.
    a.     Then execute collection Gather dependent objects
    b.     Select each category (mainly Transfer Rules, Transfer structure and InfoPackageswhatever is selected. On each header, right click and select transfer all below
    c.     Validate that there are no objects in the $TMP development package (DevClass). If it is, select the object and change package button to set to ZAWB. (Anything but $TMP (local))
    d.     NOTE- To reset transport connection, select anything on the left frame of the screen to refresh
4.     You are now ready to transportselect the truck icon to create
    a.     Call it Save for System Copy and the source system name
    b.     Go to SE09/SE10 and release it and tasks to the OS level
5.     Cleanup reset STMS and distribute, reset SCC4 and SE06 on BW0/Source BW system
6.     Verify RSA1- Tools mapping of source system names on target BW system (i.e. BWU) for source system of transport (i.e. SC0CLNT575).
7.     Verify RSA1- Modeling-Source system connection checks OK on target system
8.     Manually import transport in STMS Import Queue, extras, other requests, Add (to buffer). Import single with right click or partially loaded truck icon, select options as below:
9.     LAST STEP Validate import logs and activated objects. If there is an error, ensure the link to the new system is active, the RSA1-Tools-Mapping of source system names converts properly from say DEVCLNT100 to TSTCLNT200 (correct frame of reference) and reimport.
if it helpful reward point are appreciated

Setting required to create Business partner record in SAP GTS for the customer who transferred from the SAP ECC system

Dear Experts,
Can you please suggest me list of activities require to automatically create Business partner record in SAP GTS for the customer who transferred from the SAP ECC system .
i.e If I create the customer master record and transfer the same CMR to SAP GTS , what are the setting requires to maintain in SAP GTS sytem to automatically create the Business partner .
Ram

Hi Raghu,
Below are the main settings required to enable you to transfer Customer Master Data to SAP GTS. Please note that their is a difference between, Customer Master Record and Customer Master Data in terms of data and for GTS, we transfer Customer Master Data. Hence, below are the settings required:-
In SAP ECC system:-
Activate the change pointers for Customer Master Data apart from enabling basic connection settings.
Schedule a job to run at regular intervals to transfer all the customer master data for the available change pointers to the SAP GTS system
2. In SAP GTS system:-
Maintain the Mapping for ECC Customers to SAP GTS Business Partners in the General settings area of the SPRO in SAP GTS system
Ensure that the Number range is maintained for those GTS Business Partners.
Also, some time you may be required to maintain the organisational structure to ensure full working.
I hope this will be helpful to you.

Aman

Set up for Extraction the data from SAP ECC system

Hi!
I would like to analyze the transaction and master data from SAP ECC system into SAP BI system.
I have created the connection (entry for SAP ECC system) within SAP NetWeaver System.
Unfortunately when I try to load the transaction data for Info source the process does not end successfully.
There are no information within SM58 on source system.
The ST22 does not contain some suitable information.
Question:
Which settings do I miss and how can solve my problem?
(user authorization, etc.)
Thank you very much!
regards
Holger

Hi!
many thanks for your reply.
The error I get:
Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
System Response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Error handling:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the authorizations of the background user in the source
Can you please help me to identify the error?
Thank you!

Proxy Activation - ECC 6.0 to SAP PI system

Hi All,
Our envirnonment -
1) SAP ECC 6.0 ( R/3 system)
2) SAP PI ( R/3 system)
To establish communicate between SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP PI ( R/3 system using proxies )-
we have setup following steps on ECC 6.0 system-
1) Created a HTTP connection in the business system of type H.
Please let me know what is the path prefix we need to set.
2) Configuration Business system as local Integration Engine.
3) Connection between Business System and System Landscape Directory
Create RFC destination (TCP/IP) LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI for the SLD connection.
I have developed a sample interface to send data from SAP ECC --->PI --> File system ( Proxy to file interface)
When i run the report to call the proxy it is pushing the data on the integration engine of the ECC system.
How can i debug what is the problem is ? why the data is not getting pushed on PI system using proxy ?
How can i debug this ? Please let me know if i am missing any thing in proxy activation between ECC to PI system.
Regards,
Kishore

Hi ,
I have cross checked the activation steps.
I am able to create a interface proxy to File
SAP ECC R/3 system --- > SAP PI ---> File system
I have created a proxy on ECC R/3 system using SPROXY. when i trigger the proxy using a abap report the data is not getting pushed on to SAP PI system .
When i do a SXMB_MONI on ECC system it should call the integration server as out bound ... It is throwing a error message as mentioned below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

Full production refresh to development systems and Charm?

Hi SDN Community,
Where I work we have a policy of refreshing the development systems (ECC, CRM, APO, BI, SRM) on an annual basis with full production system data, HR data is subsequently wiped clean from the development system.
For each of our systems we have a development system, a QA system and a production system.
The decision to do these full refreshes was taken to ensure that developers and configurers can do decent testing in the Dev environments - prior to transporting to our QA system - to ensure that we have a reasonably stable QA system. Prior to the refreshes - QA was considered too unstable by our business to be used as a good test platform - the full D refreshes solved this problem.
We have recently installed SAP Charm (Change request management) which is a solution manager based product that manages the transportation of objects in change requests - attached to maintenance cycles.
During our first development system refresh we discovered that all open Charm projects (maintenance cycles) were placed into an unuseable status due to the refresh. This means we had to rebuild all of the Charm projects after the refresh - which took a considerable amount of time + resources and delayed project work. We don't want to be in this situation again for our next refresh.
SAPs response to us has been that they have no other customer that does full Development system refreshes - and also has Charm. I wonder if this is accurate, I think what SAP are saying is that they don't have many Charm customers... Is refreshing Development so uncommon?
We are considering products like SAPs TDMS - and alternatives (eg gold client) - but most of these appear a little immature - for refreshing complex system landscapes - such as ours and keeping everything in synch after the refresh.
My questions to SDN -
What do you do - do you do full refreshes to your D systems?
If not - what are the arguments against refreshing D systems (is this considered bad practice)?
Are there any other Charm customers out there in a similar situation to us?
How do you manage the stability of your QA environments and stop the transport into QA systems of untested changes - if your D systems are not similar to you production system
(note we have some 300 active users in just our ECC development system)?
Any suggestions / recommendations as to how to best proceed would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance,
Julian Phillips
Edited by: Julian Phillips on Nov 11, 2008 2:33 PM

Thanks Naushad for your reply,
I wonder if D refreshes are less common - more due to the additional hardware costs incurred (disk space needed to store full production data is usually pretty large) to do them - than due to avoiding disrupting development - probably a bit of both.
I did not mention this - but in our refresh we do reimport all transports that we open prior to the refresh - which used to solve our problems - in terms of restoring active changes - but with SAPs Charm system - this approach does not work as the Charm projects are left in an inconsistent status.
We are now leaning towards introducing a 4th set of systems into our landscape - so that we have the following platforms:
Development ---> Pre QA ---> QA ---> Production
This approach will allow us to keep both the Pre QA and QA systems refreshed every 6 months or so - and our new Dev system - we will refresh very infrequently (every 5 years perhaps) if at all. We will tie the Charm system to our new development - and this system will then not be impacted by refreshes. This approach means additional hardware cost - but as it happens we have a few spare boxes - so this maybe our best bet.
The core reason for our refresh is so that we will be able to preserve the stability of our QA test platform - which for us is the critical factor here. If QA has poorly tested work in it - we run a higher risk of disrupting other testing and also of this poorly tested work reaching production.
When we used to have a development system as you described and just the single QA box - we experienced frequent instability in our QA box - due to poorly tested working reaching it - and this delayed numerous projects.
Does anyone else have a 4 box setup like this? Anyone else encountered this on an SAP project anywhere? Pros / Cons of this approach?

Multiple Clients in BW 3.5 Development Systems?

In a Development BW 3.5 environment, can we have multiple clients? For instance, can we have a unit test client(with master and transactional data), a security client, and a golden configuration client.
We have heard that there may be issues with having more than one client, but we are not sure if this is correct. Our BW unit test client would be the only one of the three that is connected to a R/3 (4.7) Development client. The security and golden config client would not be connected to external systems. Is this landscape possible and supported by SAP?

Rick,
You cannot have more than two clients. A client is a technique used for isolating data records and configuration data which is technically stored in the same database tables into mutually exclusive sets of data. Clients may exists as separate for project or organizational reasons. Most configuration data is generally client independent in SAP operational systems while transactional and master data are usually client specific.
SAP BW Application does not make extensive use of the client concept. Infact with SAP BW all specific application functions can take place in one client. SAP BW does utilize basis clients technically but that is only for systems administration purposes.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Mona

System Landscape (Dual Development System)

Dear SAP Experts,
We have Two-System Landscape(DEV-PRD) Whereas cross-client data is used in both the Customizing and quality assurance clients.
Currently, our company, just merged with another non-SAP-using company. The First move is to implement FI module and subsequently, all modules that we are now using.
My boss discussed with me if we could create another DEV server for company B to use for their customizing and QA clients as not to impenge on our already customized set up.
Please advise if this set up is possible, and if not, Can anyone kindly give an advise how to approach my problem?
I'll give good points for the help that i can get.
Best Regards,
Jay

You can do this. We currently have two Dev environments one for projects based on NetWeaver integration with our ECC systems and one for regular development / run and maintain.
I suggest doing a system copy of your development and rename the SID / hostname were it appears in the profiles and home directories for UNIX platforms. Then perform post steps for SE06, printers, profiles, RFC etc...
For Microsoft install a CI instance and do a database copy to have current data. Then do post copy steps in SAP.
Although SAP suggests not to refresh Development systems, we do it at least once a year to get current applicaiton data.
Think of it as a sandbox.
If you don't want to integrate your data with the new system, skip the database copy portion for Microsoft and do a fresh install for Unix.
Hope this helps.

Synchronize / interface 2 SAP HRM systems.

Dear community, here at a customer in NL we would like to keep 2 seperate SAP HRM systems in sync. One of these HR systems is the source system and is called the parent. But there are a few infotypes where the child system is the source, this is related to Time infotypes. Both systems are equal in terms of release and patch level.
My questions are:
-Does anyone of you have experience with interfacing in a simular setup? If yes please let me know what your experiences were.
-What type of interface would you suggest, if FTP is the method to send data across.
(and what would you recommend, e.g. if FTP was not the mandatory method)
-How to keep control ? How can we make sure all new and changed data is send and received correct in the child system?
Much apprieciated if you can provide some input for this case!
Many thanks,

Hi,
This kind integration is done using native SAP integration mechanism ALE "Application Link Enabling".
It allows seamlessly integrate SAP systems.
Please check SDN page about it: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/ale
For your case there is a special scenario for integration of 2 SAP HR systems: HR Master data distribution.
This document shed more light on it: http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/CABFAALEHR/CABFAALEHR_ALE_VERT.pdf
Regarding your questions:
-Does anyone of you have experience with interfacing in a simular setup? If yes please let me know what your experiences were.
Yes, this is well known master data distribution scenario managed with ALE.
-What type of interface would you suggest, if FTP is the method to send data across.
(and what would you recommend, e.g. if FTP was not the mandatory method)
This is standard SAP interface, no addition development is need if you use only standard infotypes and fields.
-How to keep control ? How can we make sure all new and changed data is send and received correct in the child system?
During interface set up you define what system is master for what infotypes, then these settings are used during data exchange. All changes are registered with change pointers what makes sure that all necessary changes are interfaced.
Cheers

Development Systems

Hi Guys,
being a newbie to BW i was wondering when development systems are used in the ETL process and why. Could anyone please explain this to me? Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
The ETL process of a Data Warehouse solution involves following elements:
1. Data Mart (usually multidimensional cubes)
2. Data Warehouse consisting of:
a. ODS
b. PSA
3. Source system
The ETL proces handles the moving of data from 3 to 1. When creating a Data Warehouse solution You usually need to develop partly on Your source system dev. environment and partly on Your Data Warehouse dev. environment.
All above is general for all DW vendors.
When it comes to BW it supports a great deal of ETL features off course mainly focused on having a SAP OLTP system as source system. After having designed the datamodel that such as ODS and Cubes, You must design the logic between the diffent layers of the solution. When implementing this logic (source system logic, update rules and transferrules) and setting up the batch jobs (process chains) You utilize the ETL features of the BW system and source system, which is usually a SAP OLTP system which has a Plug In for BW that includes certain ETL features as well.
