Staging of Servers in POL ie Dev, UAT, Production

Is there any way to set up a scheme where three Project on line could be set up to allow developments to move to a UAT environment then move to the production environment?

Hello,
If you are looking at config of Project Online (custom fields, views etc.) you could look at Fluent Pros Fluent Books:
http://www.fluentpro.com/project-online/configuration-management/fluentpro-fluentbooks-for-project-online/
If you are looking at Apps, you can deploy them to the App catalog in the Office 365 tenant but only add it to the DEV PWA instance until you are happy with it, the add it the UAT instance etc.

Dev/UAT/Production Publishing for content within Sharepoint online

Dear All,
we have created dev tenant, QA tenant and production tenant in sharepoint online.
i want to know what is best practices to publish changed site content/stucture etc from Dev tenant to QA tenant to prod tenant.
Regards
Kaps

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to publish changed site content/stucture etc from Dev tenant to QA tenant to prod tenant.
In SharePoint On-Premise, we can backup and store the content database to move content in different environments.
For more information, you can refer to:
Moving content between SharePoint environments
Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

Best way to deploy ODI artifacts across Dev,UAT and Prod

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have to deploy the ODI artifacts from one repository to the other across various instances.
From what I learned from the export and import operations in Oracle Data Integrator documents provided by Oracle, we need to have Internal Identifiers (IDs) for each and every export and import. And while importing the work repository, we have to delete the old one and then import the new one.Is there a way where we can use the existing identifier and just append the changes?
Do we have any better way of deploying the ODI artifacts across Dev,UAT,Prod instances that would import the artifacts and also import the changes to the existing artifacts?
Any kind of information related to deployement is higly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

For ODI specific questions please post to ODI Forum at Data Integrator
Hope this helps

Not sure you have understood how the object identifiers work in ODI. When you migrate artifacts/objects between repositories (as long as your repository ID's are unique across the environments) you should be able to import using Synonym Insert/Update mode and this will give you desired behaviour you are looking for. The only area that really requires close attention during the process is ensuring that you import the various artifacts/objects in the correct sequence

Solution Manager Install on Windows/MSSQL-Dev/QA/Production R/3 on AIX-UNIX

Hello,
We are about to install Solution Manager Install on Windows/MSSQL. Our current R/3 4.7 Enterprise environments (Dev/QA/Production) are installed on AIX-UNIX servers running Oracle 9i.
Is installing Solution Manager on a windows environment compatible with our R/3 servers in relationship to our transportation management system existing in a UNIX environment? i.e. can Solution Manager on windows control transports across our UNIX landscape?
If so, could someone point me in the direction of documentation/notes on this?
Thanks,
Laurie

You will have to load the Unicode kernel and here is the link to OSS where you can get get the download of SOLMAN for AS/400
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/solutionmanager , then choose this one: ZIP 51033506_7 NW 7.0 SR3 UC-Kernel 7.00 OS/400 Info 550479 24.04.2008 .
The install manuals are out there as well.

Moving site page from Dev to production - DVWP from SQL server datasource

Hey everyone
I have seen a lot of resources online about something similar to my issue but nothing came to concrete help (content is old or not quite relevant) so I appreciate some help.
situation
- used SP designer 2013 to develop webpart site page
- Defined datasource to SQl server database connection
- Inserted dataview to the page based on SQL datasource
Now I want to move the page from dev to prod. I created the datasources on prod same as DEV
When I took the code of the pages on DEV and used on PRod , I had this error
Web Part Error: An error has occurred. Correlation ID: 9baf979c-1607-3081-07b4-a7577a8956bd.
Searching showed that this is expected because the webpart config is stored in content database and some Guids are involved here. I read somewhere that I can change the guid to name for DataFormWebPart but that keyword doesn't even exist in the
code (must be for legacy version)
So , how can , easily, move sitepage between sites on different servers? I do not want to redevelop things from scratch.
Thanks

Hi Aloha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move the site page from Dev to production.
How did you move the page?
If the page only contains the data view web part, then I recommend to export the web part from the page and then move the exported file to production.
After that, add the web part in the new page in production.

Dev and Production BW systems not in sync.

Hello All,
We have been using two BW systems for our implementation project. One is the development and second one is production BW system. I observed that few BW objects have different configuration (like update rules, user exits, queries , web templatesetc) in the production compared to the development system. Now my requirement is to find out the all the BW objects in the production that having different status than development. So that I can make corresponding changes in the development system as well in order to sync dev and production systems.
1. Is there any tool/transaction is available by which I can retrieve the list of the BW objects and may be delta changes between dev and prd systems.
2. Or any standard process exists to sync the both versions.
Any help to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Harsh.

Hi Harsh,
For the Transfer rules/update rules you can do a remote compare of the Generated Program which would give you an idea whether they are in sync or not. Likewise you can do remote compare of the User exit fn module.

Deployment from DEV to Production environment

Hi,
What are the best possible ways to deploy the visual web parts and Pages from development environment to Production environment.
As I am very much new to Sharepoint, I would like to have the safest methods to do the deployment into production. Please also suggest the prerequisites.
I have a solution with number of visual web parts in the development environment which is working fine. Need to move the Visual web parts to production (Existing site). So please suggest the safest methods.
Thanks and Regards,

ONE BI publisher for DEV and Production

Hi,
is there anyway I can setup ONE BI publisher for both the dev and production environment. the dev and production are in
separate boxes? the reason I need to do this is that oracle charges licenses fees for the development as well.
Thanks,
Odeh

Hi,
Iis technically possible to have two different databases pointing at BI Publisher, but you want to make sure the users can access the correct reports. But what I would say is that it isn't a particular good way to have your environments setup. The point of having a dev and a prod environment is to ensure that things are tested and proof of concept can be carried out without affecting the live systems. I would suggest that the separate licenses is worth the cost from my own personal experience, otherwise you risk having a live environment that is quite unstable.

Sandbox to the DEV/Quality/Production environment

Hello,
Is there any way we can Transfer all we had done is Sandbox to the DEV/Quality/Production environment?
We are using SAP 5.2 and had done all the configuration is SANDBOX side.
Please let me know if any one has any information regarding this.
Thanks
IMRAN

Hi IMRAN,
S2S functionality allows you to transfer only product-related configuration which list you can find in the online help as Alex suggested. However, you will not be able to transfer System Rules or Collaborations in particular. Thus if you need to "copy" the entire configuration of ME @ Sandbox, then you need to export the database dumps of ME WIP and ODS from Sanbox and import to e.g. QA and re-create synonyms in QA. Then install/deploy the ME build in QA and point to the new database.

Best practice for maintaining URLs between Dev, Test, Production servers

We sometimes send order confirmations which include links to other services in requestcenter.
For example, we might use the link <href="http://#Site.URL#/myservices/navigate.do?query=orderform&sid=54>Also see these services</a>
However, the service ID (sid=54) changes between our dev, test, and production environments. Thus we need to manually go through notifications when we deploy between servers.
Any best practices out there?

Your best practice in this instance depends a bit on how much work you want to put into it at the front end and how tied to the idea of a direct link to a service you are.
If your team uses a decent build sheet and migration checklist then updating the various URL’s can just be part of the process. This is cumbersome but it’s the least “technical” solution if you want to continue using direct links.
A more technical solution would be to replace your direct links with links to a “broker page”. It’s relatively simple to create an asp page that can accept the name of the service as a parameter and then execute an SQL query against the DB to return the ServiceID, construct the appropriate link and pass the user through.
A less precise, but typically viable, option would be to use links that take advantage of the built in search query functionality. Your link might display more results than just one service but you can typically tailor your search query to narrow it down. For example:
If you have a service called Order New Laptop or Desktop and you want to provide a link that will get the user to that service you could use: http://#Site.URL#/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?query=searchresult&&searchPattern=Order%20New%20Desktop%20or%20Laptop
The above would open the site and present the same results as if the user searched for “Order New Desktop or Laptop” manually. It’s not as exact as providing a direct link but it’s quick to implement, requires no special technical expertise and would be “environment agnostic”.

Dev - UAT - Prod env migration

Hi Experts,
Apps 7.9.6 OM module is already implemented on the Sun Solaris sandbox . Could you please help me how can I migrate the existing OM module to the UAT & Prod env. I would appreciate it if you can tell what effort is required to do this.
Thanks,
Kris.

Hi everyone
We finished implementing BI Apps for HR, Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement and Service modules. I am also interested in the best practice of migrating this to a UAT and subsequently Prod environments.
Any thoughts?

How deploy PL/SQL Web Service through dev, test, production

Please can you assist with this simple question from someone new to the Java world.
I have created a set of web services from existing Stored Procedures in the development database. I now want to move these to the test database and later to UAT and finally to production. How do I change the data source to be used? A number of these will be on the same App Server but with different derivable names identifying the database to which they connect.
With my BPEL process I was able to use Ant with a Deployment Plan to do search and replace for changed parameters but I cannot find the equivalent for these Web Services. Using 10.1.3.4.
Any guidance appreciated.

In JDeveloper the Application entered is created as a folder on my PC. I was surprised to find that this is then used to form part of the URL for the web service.
This being a built in feature, lead us to the conclusion that we could use this to divide our web services between databases. The calling programs, all internal to the business, can derive the environment and establish the correct naming of the URL to link to the correct database.
We have licences for 2 physical Servers. We have 4 environments - dev, test, uat and production. What would be the normal method to run multiple environments on the same Application Server. We want production on 1 server and the others on the other server.
Are there guidelines for this situation.

How to manage your environments, going from Development (DEV) to Production (PRD) with Management Packs.

I am looking for a way to go from the development (DEV) environment to the production (PRD) environment in a controlled manner.
As I do not want to manually click around with a walk-through screen-shots document = error prone.
As I read these articles

http://www.netiviaconsulting.com/2012/05/10/staying-organized-with-scsm-beware-of-the-management-pack-jungle/
I still have some questions:
1. Can all MPs (un-sealed) be exported from DEV and imported to PRD without breaking things?
2. Are there any known pitfalls?
3. Do you have some tips on this matter? In other words, how do you manage this?
Regards,
Erik

Alex is spot-on. Most MPs are environment/management group independent.
But some MPs contain what I call "Environment Specific Variables". In my experience, ESVs are in:
1) Templates (such as the runbook guids)
2) Criteria blocks (like view criteria, and rule criteria)
3) Parameters (such as write action parameters, and console task parameters)
Alex already gave an example of a template ESV.
An example of a Criteria ESV might be some view that you developed that returns objects that have a specific set of values in your dev environment, but may be different for your prod environment. ie: You have a view whose criteria looks afor a specific business
service ServiceId property. Let's say "Business Service X". But "Business Service X" has a different ServiceId in your dev environment than in your prod environment. So, every time you import your view MP from dev to prod, you have to remember to change your
criteria.
A quick Parameter ESV example; you have a notification subscription (a rule+writeaction). In Dev, you've hardcoded the notification recipient to be yourself. In Prod, the recipient has to be your boss. So, every time you import your MP from Dev to Prod,
you have to remember to change the recipient parameter in the subscription's writeaction.
Like Alex said, handling ESVs by hand is error-prone and time consuming.
Alex, when you write that utility, you should make it more robust. Within an MP, allow a user to pick and configure
any ESV. Store that configuration. Then, just run the MP through the utility and have it automatically set all the configured ESVs to the appropriate environment specific value :) (It's been something I've wanted to write into TFS for
a while, but I never take the time to do it ;) ) If an ESV is missing (because it was removed or changed in such a way that it no longer resembles the configured ESV), throw a warning during conversion.

Customize Portal application to access Dev/Test/Production SAP systems

Hi All,
We have requirment from client, to develop a custom portal application.
1. When user login into Testing portal (eg., Development or Testing system or UAT system or Production system) and want to access the all (Dev / Tes / UAT / PRD) system SAP GUI with SSO concept from customize portal applciation once he select the dropdown list either Dev/Test/UAT/ PRD.
Our code.....
in layer-config.xml file, we have defined systems
- <layer-config>
- <system>
<layer>Dev</layer>
<internal>true</internal>
</system>
- <system>
<layer>Test</layer>
<internal>false</internal>

public class Accesstoall extends AbstractPortalComponent {
     public void doContent(
          IPortalComponentRequest request,
          IPortalComponentResponse response) {

                                   + "'>launch system</a>");
I want to call the XML value in JSP file as dropdown list and once dropdown selected, user needs to display link of SAP GUI system in table.
Please can you advise which approach will be the best on external and internal portal.
Appreciate on your feedback.
Thanks,

Hi Praveen,
for internal portal, you can create 4 different system object in portal landscape for 4 different systems and then implement sso between portal to those system and use sap transaction iview
for external portal, go with your way.
