System Refresh check.

Hi colleagues,
How can we come to know that particular system is refreshed or not for given time spam.
Please let me know as os level check and R3 level check.
Which refelect the information about the refresh.
Thanks and regards
Atul jain

The system doesn´t know when it´s copied so there is no "transaction" to check.
Again:
An approach to find out would be to check transaction RSUSR200 and see there, when most of the users have been logged in the last time.
Olivier said, that he writes the date when the system copy was done onto the login screen (you can use the provided note to do that).

Sender File Comm Channel Fails after system refresh

Hi,
we did a system refresh of our PI system and since then the sender file communication channels donot work with the following exception:
Error: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.
I have seen many threads in this forum related to this issue but couldn't find a proper solution.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
MLS

You may do the following:
1. Perform SLDCHECK on XI.
2. Check if XIAFUSER is not locked or its password has been changed recently.
3. Goto SLD-> Business sytems-> Integration server, check Pipeline URL. It should be
http://hostname:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied quality system refresh from production

Dear All;
I am in the post activities of SAP system refresh.
I restored the system using brtools successfully as you can see below:
then I went with the rest of the steps based on sap recomendations, and reached to SAP sql queries:
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
CREATE TABLE "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
INSERT INTO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('SAPSR3', '<Password>');
CREATE SYNONYM "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>".SAPUSER FOR "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER;
CONNECT /
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
CONNECT /as sysdba
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
I checked if all users are on opened state using select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users;
The database is running file, and it is opened, but when I run R3trans -d it gives me RC 12 and i get this error:
*** ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
set_ocica() -> SQL error code 1017
-->oci_get_errmsg (con=0, rc=1017)
OCIErrorGet -> SQL error code: 1017
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
DbSlConnect(con=0) -> orc=0, 99=DBSL_ERR_DB
***LOG BY2=>sql error 1017   performing CON
***LOG BY0=>ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I used brconnect -u / -f chpass -o PSAPSR3 -p sap so i can reset the password, but still I am getting the same invalid username or password error.
I checked the listener status, and it is running.
Kindly let me know how I can fix my error
Best Regards

System Refresh Precautions?

Hi,
During system refresh, are all types of data - master data, transaction data as well as <b>customising data</b> get refreshed from prouduction environment?
Could you please suggest what is best way to get back project specific new customising data on a refreshed environment? Is there some sap recommended best practice on this.
regards,
Karthik

Hi Please go through. This will give you exhaustive information. After refresh we used this to get back the required system specific customizations.

System refresh from Production to Quality

Hi,
We are going for system refresh from Production to Quality. We are at SAP NetWeaver 2004s with 700 release and at 0021 level. Our data base system is DB6 with the release 09.07.0000
I understand that there is a note 886102 available for the system copy. But I would like to know how that had been practically implemented from your ready documents like
1. What would be the BI consultant role during the refresh (I mean where do we involve at). I have seen many links related to this but nothing answer my question, so please don't give me links available.
2. How to identify tables that need to be copied and restored to retain the correct source systems for data/info sources.
3. What should be the BI consultant task before refresh?
4. What should be the BI consultant task post refresh?
5. What are issues faced post refresh in quality system.
I request, the consultant who had worked on these refresh can provide me correct solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Our prerefresh activities included
Inform security team to do no user or authorisation changes for quality during the refresh.
Set message in development to not release any transports anymore and set message in quality to inform users in quality not to manually import transports into quality and also not approve transports for production. This ensures no transports get moved to quality and production.
Switch off cyclic import all job (like TMS_0000000038TMS_TP_IMPORT) and the cyclic RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS job
Prepare list of transports for re-import to quality after refresh and give this to BASIS.
Post refresh activities included
Tcodes SM37, SM35 and SP01. Check that BASIS had set all released jobs to status "Susp/Released"
"All jobs are in 'Susp/Released' state. Set them all to 'Scheduled ' as follows:
- Run report BTCTRNS2 to change all to 'Released'.
- Immediately use SM37 to change all to 'Scheduled' "
IF ANY ARE NEEDED. Remember to change Exec Target in any job you need to release.
"Schedule RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS to run at x:29 and x:59 - so every 30 minutes.
Please schedule with DDIC as step user (and not your own user-id)."
Check the STMS_QA and import queues to be sure that the tranports are correct- no extra ones during refresh???
Once happy with the above request that Basis schedule the auto import to run every 30 minutes
First ensure that BDLS has finished and system is ready for use.
Post refresh issues faced in production
Many reinit issues
ACR issues.
Master data issues.

System refresh PRD-QUA

Experts,
We have completed the system refresh using PRD system data.
part of post processing activity using t-code BDLS and and completed the Logical system conversion.
But still we observed that in BI system still prd system logical system (as below) name available on the infoobjects, because of the some of the jobs failed at BI system.
RSA1->
Data Transfer Processes
8PB1CH0338T / PPXCLNT100 -> ZDINXXX
Please let us know how to change the all the logical system from production system to quality system.
Thanks

Hi Nick,
Thank you for the response..
Yes we have activated and ran the replication also.
its seems looks good When I check the check the datasources,
Version : active
and datasoruce as below
Datasouce for QX1CLNT100 QX1 client 100
8PB1CH0338T
ZDINCOMP_TEXT

-> IOBJ ZDINCOMP
C Din Company (Texts) TEXTS ZDINCOMP TEXTS ZDINCOMPTEXTS ZDINCOMP
But click the inforprovider it shows around 30 of them shows PX1CLNT100 logical system.
How Can i change those PX1 logical system name

SAP Client Copy / System Refresh
Before doing a client copy, you need to prepare the following :-
1. Find the source client space with the client size custom program which can be implemented using the rel. note:
    Find the space of the client - '0118823'. This will give you the size of the source client.
2. If your are on Unix OS, adjust all the file systems according to PRD file system to fit the PRD client in DEV
    client based on space requirements also.
3. You can do the client copy by remote or export/import client.
    Remote method is not preferred if you are doing a large client copy.
    Do a client export/import.
4. To speed up the export/import, use R3trans export/import for the clustered tables.
    Please find the rel. notes related to performance improvements for cluster tables in OSS.
5. Do import and post processing.
    Note: Export may take 10 to 20 hr. for 50gb of data
    import may take 4 days and post import will take 8 to 15 hr. for 50gb of data. And it all depends on
    your system performance.
Please refer OSS rel. notes for the few RZ10 parameters which needs to be set for cluster tables to speed up the process.
Note :-
If it is a fresh installation, do this --
1. SCC4 --> Create client no. and fill other details.
2. Logon to the newly created client with SAP* and PASS as password.
3. SCCL --> choose any profile (preferably SAP_ALL), source client 000 and target client <as created just now>.
4. Preferably do a test run initially to check if it can go well.
5. As a care check space in databases.
if helpful reward points are appreciated

Security steps in system refresh

Hi all,
what are the pre steps and post steps from security point of view that needs to be performed on the target system when we do a system refresh .
Thanks.

Hi,
There some additional things to consider....
If the source system for the copy is a child system of another CUA model, then after the copy you have to delete the CUA model from the client that has been refreshed - this includes deleting the CUA model from BD64.
Once the copy is complete you have to double check the logical system of the refreshed client - very often this step is overlooked and it means that your RFC destination for this child system is no longer valid.
I agree with the previous post of exporting the SAP_USER profile from the target client, before the refresh takes place.

False backup / archive alerts after system refresh

We have implemented CCMS on our systems. We recently refreshed our QTS system with a backup of production (PTD). CCMS is now sending alerts for backups and archives. It tells us that the backup and archive did never run.
I checked DB12 and found that there is no data in DB12. This is probably due to the system refresh.
Is there any extra post refresh step that we can do to prevent these false alerts (other than running a full online backup as post refresh step)? Is it possible to export the backup information (tables used by DB12) as pre refresh step and re-import them after the refresh?

Kevin DK wrote:
Will it create issues if we do not delete tables SDBAH and SDBAD during the refresh?
No. BTW, tables are not to be deleted, just the table 'entries'.
Thanks

Changing OPS$ passwd during system refresh

Hi All,
i have to do system Refresh/system copy ,i m using oracle 10g database.
while studying the docs and sap notes,i found that after database is backed from source system and restored in target system
.It is also required to change some passwords for OPS$ or SAP<Schema> user in table "sapuser" at OS level.
I am totally unaware of any such activity.can someone help me in this regard,as what are the post steps after DB is restored in target system and to how to perform them.
We are using brtools here.
Also what is the command line for restroring DB while system copy.
Regards,
Vishesh S

*Hi,*
*1.*
*can someone help me in this regard,as what are the post steps after DB is restored in target system and to how to perform them.*
After doing DB restore, one has to
a. Apply the Control files of source system database
b. Perform DB recovery by applying available offline redo log files (based on Complete DB recovery or Point-in-time DB recovery).
c. Then after successful DB recovery, one has to OPEN the database with RESETLOGS options.
d. Upon successful Database instance startup, Start Target SAP system
*2.*
*what is the command line for restroring DB while system copy.*
brrestore -b logfilename -m full
e.g. brrestore -b bcnmhluz.aft -m full
*3.*
a) Logon using the OPS$ user ("connect /@<sid>") to determine the
sapr3 password that is stored in the database table SAPUSER.
Now i have no idea,that how to check the password,as i logged in using "connect /",it just got connected.
But how will i know that what password has been set.
In OPS$ connection mechanism, only the existence of ops$<sid>adm user requires. Under <sid>adm OS user if you execute "connect /" in SQLPLUS, then it will get connected with Database through ops$<sid>adm database user, without asking for password.
During OPS$ connection mechanism, the SAP work processes get connected to Database using this OPS$ user. Then as a next step, the password of Schema user (SAPSR3 or SAP<SID>) is read from the SAPUSER table from database, and then with that password od schema owner , the R/3 work processes actually get connected with Database Instance schema. So the SAPSR3 password should be same at Oracle DDIC and SAPUSER table levels.
If you do not know the password of SAPSR3 or SAP<SID> database users, you can change them with br*tools or by the execution of the following brconnect command.
brconnect -f chpass -o [sapr3 | sap<sid> | sap<xyz> | sapsr3] -p <new_password>
(Refer SAP Notes 562863, 361641 as reference)
*4.*
*after doing a system copy/refresh, what changes i have to perform in OPS$ user.*
If your getting with OPS$ user issue while SAP startup or R3trans -d execution, then you can refer SAP note 40024 or do the following .
a.
Check weather the correct OPS$<SID>ADM user exists at DB level or not ?
SELECT * FROM DBA_USERS;
b. If the required OPS$ user does not exist in Target DB....
CREATE USER "OPS$<SID>ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE <user_tsp> TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
c. Grant roles/previleges to OPS$ user
grant sapdba to ops$<SID>ADM;
d. check the existence of SAPUSER table and the owner of SAPUSER table in target DB
SELECT OWNER FROM DBA_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'SAPUSER';
e. If the owner of SAPUSER table is not OPS$<SID>ADM, then u need to drop it and recreate it in Database.
-- DROP TABLE "<owner>".SAPUSER;
-- CREATE TABLE "OPS$<SID>ADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
--INSERT INTO "OPS$<sid>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('<sapowner>', '<password>');
f.
Execute R3trans -d under <sid>adm OS level user and verify its return code. Also check trans.log file
5.
what is the middle step between db recovery and starting the system.
middle steps can be
a. to OPEN Database with RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option and restart the DB instance.
b. create OPS$ Database user according to new SID and new <SID>ADM OS user
I hope the above information will be helpful to provide you possible understanding.

Bhavik G. Shroff

Post System Refresh Activity

Hi All,
I did system refresh ( from PRD to QAS , platform Windows 2008 R2 and MSsql) the system was up and running fine. The system was absolutely fine for one day and the day after the DB crashed , not sure what happened, is there a way i can find the logs through which i can come to know what exactly happened. Also post refresh when i was trying to run BDLS , the job was getting cancelled , the job log showed there is another conversion already running , when i checked the tables the conversion had already happened . Please tell me can running BDLS which cancelled many times could be the cause for the DB crash, if yes where can i find the logs for this , if not what else could have happened that the DB crashed . Thanks for your responses in advance.
Regards
Mrigank Aditya

Hi Nainesh,
Thanks for the message , yes system is up and running fine , the DB team did a restore of Production data on Quality again , and i did the post refresh activities again , the issue what had happened last time was we were doing simultaneous refresh of two systems at a time , BI prod to BI qas and ECC prd to ECC qas , we had found a list of tables in BDLS which gets updated when we run BDLS and we run those tables only , unfortunately the files got exchanged , the ECC tables should have run on ECC machine and BI tables should have run on BI machine which didn't happen and it happened the other way round BI tables where run on ECC machine , due to which BDLS failed and the job got cancelled many times, which impacted the whole system conversion and logical update , which crashed the DB( i exactly don't know the reason what happened internally , still searching for it ) . At present the machine is up and running fine.

Source System Problem after system refresh in RSA1 trx

Hi,
We have R/3 4.7 Test source system created in our SCM 2007 Test System. The source system check was OK.
The R3 Test system was refreshed with Production data few days back and now my source system is not working. When i perform Source System check it says:
BI unknown in source system
BI IDoc type ZSSB006 is not the same as source system IDoc type
I performed following steps in R3 Test system after its system refresh:
1. Created logcal system and created RFC.
2. Created port in trx we21.
3. Created partner profile in trx we20.
4. For the outbound parameter RSSEND, I had to create idoc type that should be same as in my SCM system i.e. ZSSB006.
5. Created idoc type using trx we30 as a copy of RSSEND and added entry in table EDIMSG. Now, i could also create outbound parameter RSSEND with idoc type ZSSB006.
After performing the above steps i also replicated the datasources for the R3 Test source system, but its still showing above error.
I also checked the RSBASIDOC table in SCM test system. It has correct entry for my source system. But there is no such entry in RSBASIDOC table in the R3 test system.
Someone pls help me.

Chintan

Hi
Need to restore the All Dalaload connection settings after refresh the system which either R/3 or SCM.
RSA1 -> select the Source system -> Right click -> Restore , It'll ask the connecon paramters like RFC , method of activations. Then check the connection test of the Source system .

Hi Chintan,
Can you please check IDOC in your Target system. It should be the same type. Better you do the Partner profile steps.
Also please check have correctly created the idoc in Inbound or Outbound.
Consider the case like if its exist in BW as Out bound then its connected to Inbound IDOC of R/3 and vice a versa.
Please elaborate your refresh activites. Normally IDOC setting never get changed in you refresh activites.
Just check your BW system patch level and search for Notes.

Mahesh
