Subscription number testing and production

This is more a general question, I have a subscription number in my production environment, is it also possible to use that number in my testing lab? Also would there be any issues with using the same number, i.e would the testing lab affect anything that was currently taking place in the production environment?

In Dreamweaver CS3, can I save to Test AND Production FTP Servers when I press save the document?

Hi, and thank you for reading this.
I've setup a production and test FTP servers in Dreamweaver CS3. It is either saves to production or test server when I click COMMAND+S (CONTROL on PC), but I'd like teh file to be saved on both simultaneously. Persssing Sync the Servers won't work since the servers are not mine and they a bit different, teh files are not the same. I just would like to be able to save 1 file at a time in both production and server with one click.
I've been searching the Interenet but could not find anything other than basic FTP setup. Any help would be appreaciated. Thanks!
Anton

Hi John, first of all thank you for replying!
The reason why I would like to have Dreamweaver to save to both servers Test and the Production at the same time is because it would save me a lot of time keeping both servers more or less in sync. I have to keep both Test and Production servers syncronized, but only wihtin a specific content. While I test my design I do use Test server, but then the hassle begins when I am asked to make changes to the content.
For example, I have a content page called books.html. I first built it on a Test server. Then switched to the tab called Remote, connect to the Remote Server, and save it. Very simple.
However, then I need to create 10 more pages, lets call them books1.html, books2.html, and so on. Again sync them with the Remote server.
All is great, but then my boss comes and say, hey there is a mistake on these files: books3, books4, books7, and books8. Please change the text content on those. So, I know the pages are working fine, I just need to update the text on both Test and Remote servers.
So at this point I have to open these 4 files, change the text, then SAVE ALL to Test server. Then, I switch to Remote tab, go back to files press any key and 'Delete' keys so that Dreamweaver would see the change in file so that it would be able to save it. Then again 'SAVE ALL' to the Remote server.
This is happening very OFTEN. It would save me so much time and brain power remembering which files I should sync if I am in a hurry and jump from one project to another, losing track of small changes in files when there are a lot of .html files.
CMS is only in development now so I have to work with what I got. As to regard to backups, I use Time Machine so I am set with that. Plus I use MAMP. So basically I first use MAMP for testing, then upload changes to the Test server with all the BIG databases, and only then to Remote (production) with real Database. However, this is only when I develop new pages, very often I just need to modify what's already has been created. So that's why a feature like Save to BOTH servers (Test and Remote) would make a big difference to me.

Mapping Design - SOAP body content needs to be different between test and production

Hello,
We are integrating with a 3rd party SOAP receiver who uses the same web service URLS for test and production.
So to differentiate they exposed 2 web services which do the same thing but have different root and payload node names...along with account details.
For example, for production our SOAP XML must follow pattern like:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<appRequest>
<userID>produser</userID><password>prodpwd</password>
<appPayload>
<?xml>
blah blah this XML is the same between test and production
</xml>
</appPayload>
etc
But for their testing we must use:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<appRequestTest>
<userID>testuser</userID><password>testpwd</password>
<appPayloadTest>
<?xml>
blah blah this XML is the same between test and production
</xml>
</appPayload>
etc
So I'm trying to think of a good way to handle this difference in one set of mappings that we can use in our 3 PI platforms Dev / Test / Prod
Since these differences are in the SOAP Body does it need handled in mapping or is there a way to handle it in the Adapter Config which is naturally different between our environments (mapping we like to keep the same).
What is a smart way to handle this scenario?
Many thanks,
Aaron

I second Artem when he states that this is a bad design decission from the caller's side.
However this is not gonna help you in the current situation, right?
The problem you are facing is that by poor design the message does not have a root node which you may use to handle occurences. Let me explain further
You would be good if prod message looked like so
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<appData>
   <appRequest>
   </appRequest>
</appData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and test message looked like so
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<appData>
   <appRequestTest>
   </appRequestTest>
</appData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
--> Then you would have been able to specify occurence of <appRequest> and <appRequestTest> as 0..1
So I think you have (besides what Artem already pointed out) 2 other options:
1. activate "do not use SOAP envelope" on sender SOAP channel and then designing the data types like above
2. Use HTTP instead of SOAP adapter and designing data types like above
Hope I didn't miss something crucial :-)

ESR role in different development, test, and production systems

Hello,
I want to know the role of ESR in development, test, and production system. Do I have to install ESR in every seprate installated SAP CE machine??? or should It be centrally and development., test and production systems can use it?? Does software release process effects in the whole landscape??
does Test and Production system requires ESR??? or all used services are embed into released software SCA files to test and production system???
Regards,
Naeem

Hey,
as far as I understood the ESR is a design time tool, i think you don't need to have a productive instance.
I think it should be installed on your PI systems. And I would prefer to have at least a devel and a test installation, to
separate services on test machines from those who are running on productive systems.
as you can't differentiate the services by their name but just by their systems, you should have separate ESR Instances.
Nevertheless I think it could be possible to run only one ESR....
Kind Regards

License for testing and production systems

Hi Experts
Can any one help me out on implementing license in my B1 System.
According to our contract we have licensed following user types:
User Type
Licensed
AddOn Access License 25
Professional User 5
Software Development Kit - Development Version 20
We have Test/development system in one hardware and Production system on different hardware. Please advice me how to request/allocate license for my test/development system and production system.
We tried creating a Test System in SAP Market place and requested license for test system. While requesting license for production system, it is found that the license is exceeded. In other words, developent system license also counted.
Please advice me on the best practices of B1 license implementation.
Thanks and regards
Ajith G

Hi,
Our customer wants to Keep the production data secure. Developers and consultants should not have the access to it.
Then you have only two options:
1.Either you should maintain a standalone b1 server for the developers and consultants to test their solutions and scenarios.
2.Otherwise you can create users in sql studio for accessing only the test database.
So that as per your requirement
All configurations and sample data will be kept in a test environment where developers and consultants can do their work.Once everything is correct Admin will do the transfer to production.
Note:New users can be created in the sql studio under Databases-><Company Db>->Security->Users, Rt.click new user

Identification Test- and Production-System in Mapping

Hi,
we have a Java-function in a mapping step.
There we need an identification if it runs in our Test- or Production-system.
Currently we use a property file in the Java-Package for realizing this.
But this is not a very good solution. The last time we transport the archive to our production system somebody forgot to change this property file and therefore we had some trouble in our production.
Does anybody have an idea how we can identify the system name of the XI-system in a Java-Mapping?
Is there perhaps any constant we can use of the Map input-parameter?
In the documentation I didn't found anything about this.
Best Regards,
Thorsten

Thorsten,
Try using System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEMNAME") in your Java function.

Does Microsoft provide list of patch name, kb number, patch and product code for released hotfixes?

Hi,
I'm looking for collective information for all hotfixes released by Microsoft with information such as patch and product code for msiinstall, patch and product name, e.g.:Patch Code : {97EBAE10-0D01-458E-BBD7-74ADBE8A51C9}
Product Code : {90140000-006E-0409-1000-0000000FF1CE}
Patch Name : Hotfix for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2459117)
Does Microsoft provide such list? Where and how can it be obtained? if not is there a way to generate such list from hotfixes installed on specified computers?Regards,Grzegorz

looking for collective information for all hotfixes released by Microsoft with information such as patch and product code for msiinstall, patch and product name,
At one point that information could all be found in a huge XML file to support MBSA and HFNetChk by Shavlik. I haven't looked at the most recent implementation of MBSA but I do know that a later implementation of MBSA forced Shavlik to drop support
for HFNetChk. I don't know if they have done anything as a substitute.
Here's a description of what I remember (though 2009 sounds later that I would have guessed.)

Probably someone on the MBSA forums will have better information for you.

WebService in Adobe Forms in Test and Production Systems

Hello Friends,
I am facing a peculiar problem with the webservice. I have created one Adobe Form in Development system and in that Adobe Form I used one WebService to get the User's Complete Name. Its working fine in Development System. And all the WebDynpro Component's and Applications, RFC Function Module(for WebService), WebService Name were placed in same Request ID and this request is being moved from Development System to Quality system, here all the objects were present except WebService Name i.e. this service can be seen only from SOAMANAGER Transaction but not from SICF Transaction(As given in SAP Note: 1318499). And I came to know that we need to use only SOAMANAGER transaction ONLY in Quality or Production systems.
But while creating Data Connection in Adobe Form I used SOAMANAGER's generated URL and it got created successfully and while triggering the WebService at Runtime based on some event I am writing JavaScript Code and here I am using the URL where it is generated from SICF Transaction.
Friends please help me in solving the issue as which URL I need to use in Adobe Form at runtime(i.e. triggering webservice from JavaScript, the URL from SOAMANAGER is not working in JavaScript).
Regards
Pradeep Goli

Report font changes between test and production

using developer 6i server on solaris 64 bit environment.
we have vnc configured on both machines. when we migrate a report from
the test machine to the production environment, the font specifications
are different in the html output. what should we look at to determine the cause?
the printers are set up the same on each machine, VNC is the same. anything else?
thanks
Jim

NLS_LANG setting is the same. uifont.ali files are the same.
the difference is primarily that some fonts are bold and a larger scale in production environment versus the test environment. we did a basic 9iAS install on each machine, so I don't think anything is different.
are there any environment variables that I should check for the user account that runs the forms and reports servers?

Test and Production system

Hy all. Our Problem is the following. One of our customers wants to have a Productive and a Test-Instance of Oracle DB and Mobile Server.
If you create an application, the Mobile Server is creating Tables (CVR$..., CEQ$...) in the schema where the original tables are.
If we now make a Synchronisation Productive - Test from our original schema (which we use for our normal program) the tables from the Testmobile Server would be overwritten with the tables from the Production Mobile Server. I think this would cause a lot of problems.
Is anybody here, who had this situation too and who could get me any hint how to handle this?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Holger

Hello rekounas,
first of all thanks for your answer. Perhaps I try to describe the situation another way:
I have two separate databases. One for test environment and one for productive
environment.
Case there is no Mobile Server installation at all. If I want to have recent
data in the test database, our customer takes a dump (from our schema in the
database) from the production environment and imports it in the test database
(after dropping the equivalent schema).
Now, there is a problem with this if there is a mobile Server involved.
There are two Mobile Server installed with two different Repositories. One in
the Production system, one in the Test system.
If we now take our dump and import in the test system, we have the tables from
the Production Mobile Server (which he generated in our schema while creating
the application in mobile manager) in the schema from the Test-Mobile Server
(CEQ$.., CVR$.....).
I don't think the Test Mobile Server can handle this, can't he?
I hope I described the problem understandable.
Regards,
Holger

Export Import to Maintain Test and Production Environments

We have developed an application using Locally built Database Providers in Oracle Portal 9.0.2.6 which is installed to 2 schemas, has 5 different providers, and over 100 Portal major components (Forms, Reports, and Calendars) and over 200 minor components (LOV's and Links). We have used export/import transport sets with some luck, but it is a struggle becuase the import procedures are not very robust. Many things (such as missing LOV's, corrupt components, preexisting versions, etc, etc.) can cause an import to fail. And the cleanup necessary to finally achieve a successful import can be very time-consuming.
Having a robust import mechanism is very important to our strategy for keeping installed (our own and clients') portal instances up-to-date with our latest release. Some of the enhancements that would make it much easier to develop and maintain Portal applications include:
Within the Portal:
1. Ability to copy an entire provider within the same portal (rather than one component at a time).
2. Ability to change the schema to which a Provider is associated.
3. When copying a component from one provider to another, the dependent items (i.e. LOVs and Links) should be copied to new second provider as well. (i.e. rather rebuilding each LOV in each provider and then editing each form to point to the new LOVs)
Transport Sets:
4. Should allow for changing provider names and provider schema, and global component name changes, and resetting unqiue id's on import (to create copy rather than overwrite).
5. Should allow the option to ignore errors and import all components which pass pre-check (rather than failing all components if all items do not pass pre-check).
How are other Portal Developers dealing with installing and then rolling out new sets of Locally built Database Providers from Development environments to Production? Are there any whitepapers on the best practices for replicating/installing a portal application to a new portal instance and then keeping it updated?
Oracle, are any of my wish-list items above on the future enhancement lists? Or have others figured out workarounds?
Thanks,
Trenton

There are a couple of references which can be found on Portalstudio.oracle.com that are of some use:
1. A FAQ for Portal 9.0.2.6 Export/Import http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/9026_EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_0308.HTM
2. Migration Instructions by Larry Boussard (BRUSARDL)
3. Migrating Oracle Portal from Dev Systems to Production Systems bt Dheeraj Kataria.
These are all useful documents for a successful first-time Export-Import. However, the limitations and lack of robustness I listed in my first post, make the process so time-consuming and error fraught as to not be a practical development strategy.

How to transport a ABAP program to Test and Production?

I created a ABAP program and used in a Process chain. I did transport to Testing system. I got an error message that program didn't not find when I was trying to run that Process Chain.
How can collect the Program and transport it again? Thanks!

steps required.
1) find the name of the program
2) collect it in the transport request.
1)go to the process chains maintaincne and right click on the abap process > to the maintaince screen and note down the name of the program
2) go to se37 type in the program name > display > menu > goto > object directory entry.
3) go to se10 > request and check the attributes of the object >
r3tr-fugr- ( package name ) > select the request and release it.

Hi Sophie,
Normally you can find your serial registered to your AdobeId. To find it please login to the Adobe website and check if you did register it to your account.
Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions
In general you will go true a educational verification afterwards you get the serial. So its in your email or account. If you still have issues get in contact with the chat team to get help.
Good luck!

Segregation of testing and the production environments- Oracle EBS implementation project

I am currently auditing a oracle EBS implementation and I need to test the segregation of testing and the production environments, How can I approach that ?

In Oracle EBS environments TEST and PRODUCTION are different systems altogether, you can say two entities which are identical in features/data but physically different. So you may have to test on below
1.) DB level passwords (different in both instances) and are following the statndard corporate policies.
2.) Unwanted application users are end-dated in TEST instances.
3.) Data is masked appropriately in TEST instances.

Significance of IBase, Component and Product ID while creating Change Reque

Hello,
When we create a change request via SOLMAN_WORK_CENTER, we are supposed to provide values for
1) IBase
2) Component
3) Product ID
Ibase can be defined as the way SAP differentiates in a multiple system (APO, CRM, ECC) environment, the corresponding environment.
The values corresponding to IBase can be obtained via IB51,52 and 53 tcodes.
Can the value for IBase obtained via SMSY t code also?
What does component and Product ID signify?
Where can we get values for Component and Product ID?
Is Product ID the same as value we get from menu Option System->Status->Installation Number
Is it necessary to provide all 3 values (i.e. IBase, Component , Product ID) while creating change request?
If Not, how will SolMan identify which system the change should point to?
Or only value for Ibase is enough?
Thanks,
Vikas

No
What does component and Product ID signify?
Product ID is not mandatory. I actually hide it in the CRMD_ORDER screen.
Where can we get values for Component and Product ID?
Is Product ID the same as value we get from menu Option System->Status->Installation Number
Component - IB52 as you already mentioned
Product ID - in a customizing table, I've seen it once but can't remember where honestly. As stated, I don't bother with the field
Is it necessary to provide all 3 values (i.e. IBase, Component , Product ID) while creating change request?
The iBase and component are mandatory, odd thing is if you enter the component without entering 1 in the iBase, SolMan will fill the 1 in for you.
If Not, how will SolMan identify which system the change should point to?
By the logical components assigned to your maintenance project. You can actually have transports for more than one production assigned to your change document. For instance you could have a BI and ECC transport assigned to the sane change document. Your tak list will have the dev, testing and production systems for each logical component assigned.
Or only value for Ibase is enough?
I was having this discussion with someone the other day. Since the logical components assigned to the mianteance project really determines what systems you can create transports for, what is the value of the component field? Best I could determine was when you use the Logon on to System action, it points to the one listed in the component field only. other than that, I'm not sure.
