Shadow system during system upgrade

Hi All,
I am new to upgrade.I would like to know about Shadow System, how it will be created, what happens during the switch between the shadow and original system.
I had read the following blog which helped me to get clarity in the introduction part.
SUM: introduction to shadow system
Appreciate if anyone can explain and share some document on this.
Cheers,
Febin Roy

Hi Febin,
If you are working on SAP upgrade project you will come across to this term – shadow system or instance and system switch.The background upgrades process. Basically by upgrade we want to get the newest functions that provider offers in its software product that we are currently using. For sure we want to get this done without an interruption to existing, running system. In reality there is always some interruption. We are just trying to minimize it as much as possible. So does the SAP. The background of shadow system is to minimize system downtime during the upgrade.
Shadow system is basically copy of system that is going to be upgraded. This copies system is a bit limited to original one. It has only technical repository (SAP Basis objects) of objects and you cannot run your business processes on it.  More over technical repository is upgraded into version of final release of to be upgraded system. Technically speaking it is used for modification adjustments (famous transactions SPAU and SPDD) and activation of objects. All the support packages and add-ons are imported into this instance as well. By them you get you system to the higher release. Let me mention also that shadow system run in the same database as its original system. They are running in parallel.
During preparation of shadow instance you are still running your original SAP system where all the business processes are being executed normally. At the moment when shadow instance is prepared we do its switch from shadow to original system. This is called system switch when you kind of “exchange” original system with shadow one. By that time shadow system becomes upgraded system.

  • Running R/3 4.7 on a Windows Server 2008 System during an upgrade

    Dear all,
    I am plannung an upgrade project from R/3 4.7x200 to ERP6.0. The system is running on MaxDB. It's a single stack ABAP System.
    Currently the system is running on a 32 bit Windows Server 2003. During the project we want to go to a new x86 64bit hardware with OS Windows Server 2008.
    In order to use the speed of the new hardware also during the upgrade I want to move the systems to the new HW before starting the upgrade.
    The problem is that runnning R/3 4.7 on Windows Server 2008 is not supported by SAP. On the other hand running the target release ERP6.0 on Windows Server 2008 is officially supported by SAP. This information comes from the PAM.
    From the past I know that SAP allowed to run unsupported DB, OS and Release combinations during an upgrade project but I didn't find any information which fits to my situation.
    Does anyone have experience with this constellation? Is there an official statement concerning this request?
    Thanks for you support!
    Regards
    Bernd

    > So I opened the OSS Message (0000594749) to the component you mentioned but the support answered that this would be a consultant task to support me in this area (?!?)....
    I know one person who works for/in this component who did this several times to me too.
    > They asked me to open a thread here in SDN.
    That person did that too.
    > I send the message back to SAP and stated that I disagree with the statement that the confirmation of platform support is consulting...but until now I have no feedback.
    Just insist on a statement. If you still get the message back, contact the CIC (support dot emea at sap dot com) since you seem to be located in the UK according to your business card) and ask them to give you a different message processor.
    > So I hoped someone already has some official statement from SAP.
    Those special support statements are valid for a specific installation only so even if someone would have it for their installation it may not be valid for yours.
    > We would be running Production with release 4.7 on Windows 2008 for 3 weeks or so...and I will need official support for that, just for the case something goes wrong...
    I don't think this should be a problem. Technically the kernel supports it (according to the note) and also the database.

  • Replacing development system with copy of production system during upgrade

    Hello Guru,
    We are planning to replace our development ECC 5.0 system with a copy of production system, and to perform upgrade to ECC 6.0.
    SAP upgrade guide stating that:
    "If you have modified SAP objects, make sure that you keep your development sysetem.  Do not copy your production  system to your development system for test purpose."
    If we are planning to "Reset to original" for majority of SAP's objects during SPAU, are there other reasons we need to consider the impact of replacing development system with a copy of production system?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your response. 
    When we first implemented SAP system 3 and half years ago, the consultants and the developers were using the development system like a sandbox system, they tried out features or developed programs for learning purpose.
    Hence, the development system and production system are very different.  
    There are many repair transport requests that will never transport into production.
    Also, we developed client strategy (different client numbers for each system u2013 Dev, QA, Prod) during the initial implementation.  
    We were told by the upgrade consultant, it is standard that the development system replaced by a copy of production system during upgrade.  The client number in development system will be the same as the production system after upgrade.  If I want to avoid confusion for the developer & testing users, I would have to create a new client using the previous development client number, and then perform client copy.
    As I review the SAP upgrade guide, I saw the statement about not to replace development system with production system, I would like to know the reasons behind SAP's statement.
    By the way, we will replace our QA system with a copy of production system during the upgrade.

  • Can UCCHECK be performed on already UNICODE migrated system during ECC upgr

    Hi there,
    Can UCCHECK be performed on already UNICODE migrated system during ECC upgrade?
    If NO, why? What is the technical reason?
    Prakash

    Hi,
    first unicode means
    Unicode is a 16-bit code to represent universal character set, which is used to facilitate a better exchange of data between different systems.
    for uncheck
    The transaction UCCHECK is used to find Unicode related issues. You can use transaction UCCHECK to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
    why you are checking second time.

  • Not able to login to system during upgrade CRM

    Hi,
    I am upgrading CRM 2007 (6.0) to 7.02. I got an error during execution phase in MAIN_NEWBAS/XPRAS_AIMMRG. I am not able to login to system (upgrade still running, logon not possible). I tried to login to shadow system, changed system number to 04 but still not able to login. Please help ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Kavitha Rajan.

    If you are in the "Execution" phase which is basically the downtime phase then the shadow wont be available. You need to connect to the main system. You will be able to login using the DDIC user. If you want to login with another user then you will need to unlock the system.

  • SAP R/3 System analysis before upgrade 4.6C -- SAP ECC 6.0

    Hello!
    Before the upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 I would like to execute SAP R/3 system analysis.
    The following functions should be included in this program:
    - detailed analysis of system modifications (effort driver and risk factor during an Upgrade)
    - comparison against a SAP ERP 6.0 reference system
    - extension SAP tools, including RBE and conflict lists (SPAU/SPDD)
    - syntax analysis of program code with respect of adjustement need
    - quality control of own development
    - control of amount of transports within different company areas
    - control of user information, such a user type, logon date, etc.
    - basic control, whether a sufficient authorization concept is available
    - Identification of objects that should be considered for the archiving in oder to decrease the db-size
    My question are:
    - which tasks can be convered with SAP standard transactions what are the names of the transactions?
    - which effort do I investigate for these tasks?
    Thank you very much!
    regards

    Dear Thom,
    To know the functionality changes u can refer http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
    http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/erp/pdf/BWP_ERP2006_Upgrade.pdf
    http://service.sap.com/releasenotes and  http://service.sap.com/upgrade  for functional changes.
    Need to consider the following things:
    For Reports…it’s custom developed program …so unless there is any kind of change in requirement from the client regarding the layout…nothing needs to be changed…I think it will work fine in ECC 6.0 to…except few things may needs to be changed..so you need to discuss whether they want the reorts as it is right now…or want to change the layout (adding some new info/fields etc) of any report…so u need to modify the program for those…and estimate accordingly…for a medium complexity’s Report dev it takes approx 9 pd (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)…so to modify it will be less than that (depending upon the scope of changes)
    Now say for Batch Inputs(interface/Data Migration) using BDC…you need to see how many BDCs are there…again if the field lengths and layouts are not changing…then no need to change anything (except the main thing…..you need to change the obsolete function modules…there are some in 4.6 c like for data upload ws_upload_*** is there 4.6C but obsolete in ECC6.0…there are some new with enhanced functionality so you need to modify the BDCs…and many cases it happens that the whole transaction screen changes for process…in that case better to develop new BDCs…so you have to consider those parameter…look into and estimate accordingly…modifying a BDC should not take more than 1 PD…
    Now say for Forms…there was no Smart form in 4.6C…form printer was there..though the same option is there in ECC 6.0 too..but better to go for/should go for Smart form…in that case…it’s complete new dev…so estimate accordingly…a medium complexity’s form should take 8 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)…you can take it as 10 PD too…even if client wants to keep it is as it was in older version…you have to redevelop the layout in ECC 6.0 again…as form printer is even client dependent…maximum you can copy the program associated with that form in the new version too…and your effort will be saved…again you have to consider if clients wants to change the layout too…
    Now for enhancement…so in that case u need to see individual cases…for a medium complexity enhancement it should take max 15 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)…
    One more important thing is that the Unicode Compatibility…this needs to be done….needs to change the code (variable name) accordingly….also Version management tool is used for the standard programs…
    Also pls find the following forums:

  • Token and smart card reader are not detected on Mavericks if not plugged on a USB port during system boot

    Well, both token and smart card reader are not detected on OS X 10.9 if not plugged on a USB port during system boot. So, if I am already working within the system and need to use my certificates I have to plug the token or smart card reader on a USB port and restart Mavericks.
    Token is a GD Starsign and Smart Card Reader is a SCR3310 v2.
    Thoughts?

    SCS is a very good app, since I've read that Apple has discontinued support for PC/SC interfaces after the release of Mountain Lion.
    (My previous installation was a Mavericks upgrade from Lion)
    However, I don't know what and how to debug using Smart Card Services. Do you know any commands to use?
    Apparently, the SC reader reports no issues: the LED is blinking blue when no smart card is present and becomes fixed blue when a smart card is inserted – according to the manuals, this shows that there is correct communication between the OS and the CCID reader.
    I don't know what to do; I'm beginning to hypothesize it's a digital signer issue. In fact, my smart card only supports one application called File Protector (by Actalis) to officially sign digital documents. This application seems to have major difficulties in identifying the miniLector EVO.
    The generic and ambiguous internal error comes when I try to manually identify the peripheral.
    Athena CNS is one of the Italian smart cards and is automatically recognized and configured (so it's correct – no doubts about this), while "ACS ACR 38U-CCID 00 00" seems to be the real name of the miniLector.
    (I'm assuming this because System Information also returns that the real manufacturer is ACS... bit4id is a re-brander)
    However, when I click on it and then tap OK, it returns internal error.
    As first attempt, I would try to completely erase&clean File Protector files to try a reinstall. Then, if this still doesn't work, I'd debug using the terminal.
    So:
    - Do you know any applications to 100% clean files created by an installer?
    - Do you have in mind any solutions that I might have forgotten?
    Thanks in advance from an OS X fan!

    I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

    I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
    I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
    As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

  • How to determine the target system during runtime of a Generic DS?

    Hi Experts, good afternoon.
    I am coding a Generic Extractor using Function Module. I have to select the field TIMESTAMP on table ROOSPRMSC. To do so, I need the value of RLOGSYS that is the BW system that is calling the Extractor.
    Do anybody knows how to determine via ABAP the RLOGSYS (Remote Logical System) during the runtime of the Generic DataSource Function Module?
    The table ROOSPRMSC keep the TIMESTAMPs values of the last delta upload for each DataSource and for each BW target system. As I have 2 BW's loading data from the same SAP ECC system, I need to know, during runtime of my Generic DataSource, the actual system that is requesting the delta. That's the reason why I need to know the BW's logical system name that is "runnig" the delta InfoPackage.
    Plese, help!!!
    Thanks in advance!
    Leandro Vani

    Leandro,
    The calling program of your FM should have a local variable I_RLOGSYS which is populated with the BW server ID.
    If you don't know how to access a variable in a program that is in call stack using field symbols, search SDN.
    I haven't tested this, so you may have to explore a little.
    Good luck.
