System refresh of only ECC and not Portal and PI in MCOD

Hello,
Our QA landscape has ECC, Portal and PI installed in separate servers, but belong to the same MCOD DB. Its the same in Production too.
Now we want to refresh just the ECC in QA from ECC in Production. We don't want anything to change in the PI and Portal QA?
How can we do this?
Cheers
Ajay

> For info sake, from your experience how long does the export of a 500gb database take in sapinst?
SAP migrated their HR system (of several TB) on a weekend, however, this was highly tuned with lots of test runs in front. I can't say how long it takes, you have to do a run to see and to optimize.
> Usually in a db refresh, when i create the controlfiles, I replace the source <sid> with the the target <sid> in the control_file.sql (that I get from the trace in source system). After a DB refresh I just recreate the sapdba role, recreate the ops$ user for the specific target SID. Is it any different in case of MCOD?
This procedure does not work as soon as Java comes into place. If you copy a system with Java you must use sapinst. Java stores tons of information not in the database (as ABAP) but on the filesystem. Some of the information is synced on startup, some of them are only read on the filesystem.
Especially in case of a PI (which itself is very complex) this does not work.
In any case you would need to (after the full DB copy)
- run sapinst on your QA system to "save" your current state (sapinst Java export for the EP and sapinst Java + ABAP (R3load) export for the PI)
- uninstall PI and EP on the target system
- reinstall EP and PI by using the export you did
but
if you'd do it that way and you have then only a database with your ERP and you reinstall the other two systems anyway I would not do MCOD but two new database installations (so separate the instances).
There is no other way of doing that copy and preserving the other system in an MCOD case, that's one reason why MCOD is no more recommended.

System Refresh problem - request/task does not exist

I have a problem after system refresh, and when I am trying to import users and roles, I get the message - request/task XXXXXXX does not exist.
Data/cofile are present.
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks in advance,

I got it ... in SCC4, the client role must have been set to TEST instead of PRODUCTION, since the refresh is on Quality.

2 Different SAP systems one with only WM and other no WM system

Hi All,
We are having trouble to implement 2 different SAP systems. In one SAP system only MM & IM will be there. The other SAP system only WM system will be there.
In the SAP system with only MM / IM system all the materials will be valuated where as the SAP system with only WM system, there won't be any valuations. It just serves as a 3PL warehouse for the first SAP system which has only IM environment. Both are acting as a different companies.
We planned to interface all the PO, Inbound Deliveries and also the Sales order and deliveries to WM SAP system and develop a custom program to do PGR / PGI in WM system and then transmit the PGR / PGI details to the SAP system (which has only MM / IM environment). The WM system also uses the RF guns. But not so sure whether this can help.
Can you please help me how to configure the WM system. I will be very grateful for your help.
Regards,
Vansh

SAP BI System Copy with only Config changes, Not Data

Hi BASIS,
I have a requirement from a client to build a system landscape stratagy for their SAP BI system.
We have DEV - QA - PRD systems for SAP BI (7.0 SP 16)
Both DEV and QA are completely out of sync with PRD. We are doing development tasks directly on PRD. Now we have decided to re-sync the DEV & QA systems with PRD.
'System copy with Data' will be easier to implement. But our PRD DB size is nearly 3TB. The client is not ready to pay for the extra/temp. disk space for DEV and QA sync. ( We are on DB2).
Now, we have only one option left. Capture all Config changes from PRD and transport them back to DEV & QA. This is a tedious task and cause many inconsistencies.
Would anyone have any other ideas to bring the systems in sync with less time involved and less resources.
I am a SAP BI person. So dont know much about BASIS tasks. Please help me with any links of best practises or SAP notes.
Cheers

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?

HP2000 issues after doing system REFRESH and everytime it does UPDATES

Every time I have updates on my laptop HP 2000 bf69wm I have major issues. It happened again today I did the updates and then I cannot access anything on the internet. I get the spinning circle of death and no pages load. I did a system REFRESH which states it will not affect your personal stuff. Well great my pics are all intact however my Windows Office programs are GONE!!! I had to pay to put that on my computer and now they are gone!!! I got this laptop as a Christmas gift from my parents because my Toshiba is falling apart literally it is duct taped together. However the Toshiba still has less issues than this laptop does and it is brand new. So now do I honestly have to pay for Windows office again. It was a one time download so I cannot just download it again and I need it for my college classes. It is awesome to have a brand new laptop that only works when it feels like it and gives me more stress than it helps. Can someone please help me on what the deal is with this and also why I keep getting a message saying my usage is at 100%? I can be in my email and it tells me I am running at too much blah blah blah. So what is the purpose of the laptop if I cannot use it? If I had known it was this bad I would have returned it but too late now. PLEASE HELP!?!?!?!?!?

Java Dispatcher Down but Server0 and SDM up after system refresh

Hello,
I have done system refresh from PRD to QAS of CRM system - dual stack.Once after the system refresh ABAP is up and running fine but Java is down (Only Dispatcher is down. Both SDM and Server0 are running fine).
I have followed Note 609603 - Problems with Multiple NICs and SAP J2EE Engine and have given the correct host name but the no luck..
std_dispatcher.out says the following error:
Cannot attach to the Message Server. Can't open port [3925] on host [<Source Host Name>/Source IP Address].
Could you please let me know if I need to do any changes in the Config tool?
Thanks,
Subbu

HI,
IN DB restore the hostname of java system stored in profiles would be your PRD.
Go to Configtool in Edit mode -- cluster --> change the hostnames in Instance profile -- and under other files like bootstrap etc whereever you find PRD hostname.
And otherwise for JAVA system you should use export/import option.

Hi Satya,
             Thank you for the reply. QA in our landsacpe was in use since 2008. Serveral times system refresh is carried out on our QA with production data but never came accross this issue.
             Usually if the SAPINST.exe run is successfull, temperory licence will be installed and we will be allowed to login into the sytem with our user names normally and carry out post installation steps.
             As the SAPISNT.exe is being terminated, temperory license is not being installed and we got to work around by including parameter to allow default sap* userid and password to login and install license and carry on with the post installation steps. To be frank this issue is not really a show stopper, but there seems to be an issue that is to be resolved.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Bharani.

Satellite A105 boot up only from HDD not from Floppy or CD-ROM

Even after C-MOS Set up, system is booting only from HDD not from Floppy or CD-ROM.
Is there any sepcific setting to set these controls in Satellite A-105 Model ?

Hi
Do you mean an external floppy drive and external CD-ROM drive or a one which is built-in?
If you want to boot from the internal CD-rom drive so you have 3 possibilities.
1. Changing the booting order in the BIOS to CD drive
2. pressing the C button immediately after notebook starting
3. pressing the F12 button immediately after notebook starting and choosing the CD drive
I think you should also be sure that you want to boot from the bootable CD.
If the CD is not bootable you will be not able to boot from the drive.
PS: If you want to boot from the floppy drive you can press instead of C button the U button

While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

While i type, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I think it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this please help.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

Portal down after system refresh

Hello all,
We have done a system refresh for QAS from PROD for BI with export import of the backup into test. Everything was ok and refreshed BI is working fine but the SAP BI PORTAL is down. Nothing it is working. I can`t acces the link of the portal nor the visual admin nor configtool. Can you help us making the test working. I know a solution of reinstalling the portal with sapinst but i do not belive that this is the only solution.
The Test Portal have nothing changed. It is the same like it was but the BIT has changed a lot. Can anybody give some ideas how to make it work?

So i have open both files services / hosts.. and everything seems to be ok. On services i found
sapgw11       3311/tcp      # SAP System Gateway Port
The servers are AIX and the DB si Oracle. Nobody changed these files for more than 2 years and before refresh oh QAS the portal worked just fine. Practically the problem is that there is no connection between BI TST and TST portal. Nothing even at unix level. I think the problem is soewhere between DB and portal.. because he can`t find any connection.

Provider Webservice in Backend ECC system (NW 7.0, Enp1) and PI /XI 7.0,

Hello
Our backend ECC is on EnhP4 (there by NW 7.0, EnhP1), As I understand, since NW 7.0, SP 14, webservices runtime has been changed significantly to support asynchronous webservices (through WS-RM).
This ECC system is connected to our PI 7.0 system. In the back end ECC system, when I create ABAP server proxy for a synchronous interface from SPROXY, the generated proxy is also visible as a service in SOAMANAGER. However, when I do the same for asynchronous interface, the service is not visible in SOAMANAGER.
Is this an expected behavior? Does this mean, we can only expose 'out side in' approach webservices in synchronous mode if the ESR is of version 7.0? The reason I say this is when I connect the same ECC system a PI 7.1 system, I am able to expose asynchronous services that are generated out of SPROXY.
The intent here is to design the interfaces in XI 7.0, expose them as web service in ECC and consume the webservice using another EAI tool that supports WS-RM.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
KK

Stefan
Thanks. Your answer makes sense with what we are observing. Do you know if this is documented somewhere in help documentation or some note.
On another note what doesn't make sense to me is why this limitation? Not sure what I am missing. Doesn't the webservice runtime in NW 7.0 support WS-RM from SP14. Why should it be dependent on the version of PI in case of point to point webservice. Unless you say we can use WS-RM in back end NW 7.0 through PI 7.1's WS adapter only.
For me this sounds like a limitation on the NW 7.0/SP14 side. What do you think?

System Refresh for ECC & PI in Oracle MCOD database

Hi All,
We are running our ECC system on linux and oracle. Our ECC Development system and PI Develeopment system is running on one box and on the same database (MCOD). The same is with the ECC production and PI production running on the same system and same database (MCOD).
Now our requirement is to refresh the ECC development system from ECC PRD system. But we don't want to do any changes in PI system. One option is that we can export the DEV Pi schema by running SAPINST and than refresh the ECC DEV system with ECC PRD system.
After this we will install fresh PI where it will ask for DB export we will give the path of the PI export which we have taken. But i am not sure this is possible or not. Is this possible??
Or Is there any other easy possible ways to do it?
Thanks,
Bhanu

This is one big drawback of MCOD, you will always copy all. What makes things even more difficult is the fact, that a PI is basically an MCOD itself - it's ABAP + Java - which must both be copied. So you would need
- export the full PI system (ABAP + Java) - which is a homogeneous system copy Part I
- copy the database
- fiddle on database level to delete both PI schemas (ABAP + Java)
- install a new PI as homogeneous system copy Part II
Technically it's feasible but I wonder, that if you already try to separate the instances, why not install a second ORACLE_HOME on the QA (and later also on PRD) so you can in the future copy the system independently from each other?

Portal Runtime Error after System Refresh

Did a system refresh and now when I select a BI workbook that executed before the refresh I receive the error
"portal runtime error
an exception occurred while processing your request
exception id:09:27_07/02/11_0018_2780350
see the details for the exceptio id in the log file".
Queries run without erroring only the workbooks give this error... apprecitate any help - thanks

Hi Annette,
Did you clear all the cache, closed the browser and try again?
If the error still appears, check the error log.
Where are you checking the BI workbook? Is it through portal is it through an iview? If yes then check if the
application runs when the iview is previewed directly.
