  • System refresh /DB Copy Query

    Dear All,
    I am going to refresh my QAS box from PRD first time. But I have one confusion regarding recover archive logs.
    Backup archive logs are in compress mode i.e <SID>arch1_22746.dbf.Z and in normal Scenario it should be <SID>arch1_22746.dbf.
    Therefore, how will I recover it or it will automatically decompress.
    Regards
    DK

    I  have done it.
    uncompress *.Z
    then restore

  • 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.

  • Differene between system copy and system refresh

    Hi all
    can you please tell me the difference among SYSTEM COPY,SYSTEM REFRESH and DB REFRESH

    I would consider them all the same. Maybe a "refresh" could be stated as "I restore a backup onto an already installed system" where as system copy means "I install a new system with a backup of another one" but mainly they all mean the same.

  • CUA setup for a refreshed system copy

    IF I copy a system that is under CUA, do I have to remove CUA first?
    Or can I copy the system and on the target system, delete the CUA?
    What is the best practice for system refreshed and CUA?
    Thanks
    Weyland

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to detach the CUA first, before starting with client copy to avoid inconsitency..
    Like Client Copy profile includes User Master Records from the source client (SAP_ALL or SAP_USER profile), you should deactivate CUA in the target client.Otherwise, the users in the target client will remain untouched. If you
    don't need to copy the User Masters from the source, use a client copy profile that excludes User Master Records,
    Also check the pending Idocs to be processed in target client before detaching from CUA. Correct the logical system name and RFC after system copy to make it again functional with CUA.
    Cheers

  • System Refresh (Copy) Implications

    Hello Everyone,
    I have created infocubes, plannning areas and many other stuff for our Demand Planning process in the Dev system.
    Now I am planning to transport everything to our QA system in this week. However there is planned "System Refresh" of QA system from Prod system in next week.
    My question is will the "system refresh" erase all the configurations I transport to QA system in this week (before refresh)?
    Kindly advice.
    Regards,
    Sanju

    I figured that out that any configuration changes made in QA system will be erased out after the Refresh from the Prod system is done.
    Thanks anyways,
    Sanju

  • Unable to login in EP 6.0 after system refresh

    After performing the system refresh of EP 6.0, completed the post system copy steps.
    Imported the new certificated as well, when I try to login the page is getting refresh but remains on the same page.
    please help me what could be the reason.

    Hi Abdul.
    I think you have selected the Algorithm as RSA, which is the default one.<br />
    Please change it to DSA and hope the issue will be solved.

  • How to handle the CRM Middleware after system refresh?

    Guys,
    We are using CRM 5.0 & R/3 4.6C. We have the middleware configured and set up. We finished all inital loads & delta loads are activated as well. The system works perfectly.
    Now for some reason the client wants to refresh the R/3 system. (Basically they are copying over the R/3 Dev system to refresh the R/3 Sandbox system. Our connection is currently between the 2 sand box systems) What impact will this have on the CRM system? Will it cause mass delta downloads? I have already referred to notes 588701 & 765018. Any additional information or watch outs will be appreciated.
    Secondly what's the best practice do a refresh in the future? Is there a SAP recomendation on how to go about with system refresh when CRM & R/3 are connected?
    ARP

    Hello ARP,
    as always: It depends what to do:
    a) do you have a CRM DEV System available? If possible you should get the connection working over there and then do a Landscape Copy of the R/3 DEV + CRM DEV to the Sandbox Landscape.
    b) Let them copy the R/3 DEV to the R/3 Sandbox. Then use the Data Integrety Manager (Transaction SDIMA) to get the missing Customers, Transactions exchanged.
    In the future they normally have to do a Landscape Copy.

  • Steps for System Refresh for ABAP + JAVA stack

    Hi friends,
    I am newbie to SAP BASIS adminstration. There is a system refresh activity planned shortly.
    Can someome pls let me know the steps for system refresh of ABAP  + JAVA stack??
    regards,
    Ambarish.

    Please check [systemcopy@SDN|System Copy and Migration] and [guides|http://service.sap.com/instguidesnw] according to your release.

  • System Refresh: Abap+Java stack

    Have a few questions about CRM refresh I'm working on. Done many refreshes over the years and the new process has me shaking my head in disbelief.
    Performed a normal system refresh, by restoring online backup of production system onto mirror system. The mirror system exactly matches my production sytem (Oracle 10g, SuSE Linux 64 bit, UNICODE). 
    Now my system is running from Abap stack perspective, however Java components fail to load.
    Now from reading the documentation (System Copy for SAP, Based on SAP Netweaver 2004s Abap+Java) it appears that I have to use sapinst and no longer use online database backups for system refreshes.
    Is this the case? Has the investment my organization made into online backups now worthless?
    Is there a way to take the java schema in this online copied database and bring it online after converting it to work on the mirror landscape?
    Or should I throw out our system methodology and start new

    Thank you for the reply.
    Reading SAP's documentation seems to imply that I need to extract out the java schema from my production source and then re-install on my QA target to make a refresh of the java stack possible.
    However, if I have a complete copy of my source system database working on the target, why is the extract necessary?
    At least, I should be able to extract out the contents from the source as if it was the target, thereby eliminating any sort of production outages (we have many constraints about shutting down production from fuctional perspective).
    I'll do some research around the other tools mentioned to see if they can lend a hand fixing the issue,

  • Extraction failing after source system and client copy

    Hi all,
    We refreshed our source QA system with a copy of production.  And basically tried to "restore" the connection from our BW QA system.  Some of the datasources can be extracted from BW, others fail with an error of "No transfer structure is available for InfoSource 0COSTCENTER_ATTR in the source system".
    Trying to do the same thing with RSA3 in the source system, works fine.
    The strange thing is it works for some objects but not others.
    here's what we did:
    1. System copy from R3 Prod to R3 QA
    2. Client copy with R3 QA client 300 -> 200
    3. Restore connectivity in BW QA to the R3 QA system (Using RSA1 -> Source  System -> Restore)
    4. Now some objects can be extracted in BW, others fail as I mentioned above.
    I have regenerated the transfer structures in BW and R3. 
    All of these objects that don't work seem to work in RSA3 on the R3 system but not in RSA1 on BW.
    All the SAP documentation is geared to copying the R3 source system and then restoring connectivity between BW and R3.  I don't think any of it involves copying the client in the R3 source system - which might be causing our problems.
    We are using an SAP delivered PDF and note 886102 mainly for direction.
    SAP PDF is "How to... System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes".
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi,
    can you isolate somehow the kind of DataSource which works and those who don't?
    Master data / transactional or client dependent and not, delta or full....
    To which R/3 client is your BW connected? when you succeed loading the data, is it coming from the right client?
    RSA3: do you run it specifying your BW client in the target sys field? does it make a difference if yes or if not?
    Are your RFC connections and partner profiles all right?
    Check some IDOCs sent by BW received in R/3 and vice-versa (RSSEND, RSINFO, RSRQST..). Load a hierarchy (via IDOC)... verify that your IDOC have the correct partner settings....
    let us know
    Olivier.

  • Post System Refresh Activity - BDLS run

    Hi,
    We have finished system refresh of a QA system from Production.  We need to run BDLS now to convert the original Production logical systems to QA relevant logical systems. 
    I am short of understanding of this process.  Can anyone please help me with the concept and process?
    Thanks in advance,
    Abdul

    Hi Abdul Rahim Shaik,
    BDLS will convert the logical system name for your PROD to QAS.
    For eg:
    Your source - PRDCLNT100
    Your target - QASCLNT100
    If you go to SCC4 in your QAS, u will see Prod logical system name for the client.
    Once you run BDLS after system copy, logical system name exist  in every table for PRDCLNT 100 will change to QASCLNT100.

  • Comparison Refresh System

    Hello experts,
    I'd like to know what the best solution for refreshing systems between Data Sync Manager from Epiuse (DSM) and Landscape Virtualization Management from SAP (LVM).
    I've already read a lot of papers about both solutions like this one:
    Comparisons between SAP TDMS vs. 3rd Party Data transfer tools
    Of course I also took a look to a lot of papers talking about how great both are.
    What I want is feedback from people who could use these solutions for data copy, their pros and cons, especially cons.
    I know that the greatest point of DSM is that it can slice data by time or objects to make the target system lighter than the source, and LVM can do also copy and post copy automation (PCA) with a bundle for a better system administration. Both can also do data scrambling, even if for LVM we have to use another solution like SAP TDMS. Both support the most important old and recent SAP application releases (ERP, SRM, CRM, GTS, BW,SCM, NW).
    So please, give me some points that could make me decide what's the best one.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Alex.
    P.S.: if you want to talk about other solutions than SAP LVM and Epiuse DSM, please do, it could help others.

    Here is an interesting discussion on TDMS vs DSM:
    SAP TDMS - comparison with Data Sync Manager
    So now the comparison would be TDMS vs LVM vs DSM.

  • CUA - System Refresh

    Hello,
    I am new to CUA and need help in determining the pre and Post steps for CUA during the System Refresh. The System Refresh is performed on the Child System and after the Refresh my original users and Role assignments have to overwrite the users and Role Assignments of the Copying System.How do I retain my original User data ?
    Are their any guidelines to this process ?
    I am researching oss and forums,and so far I don't have any clear procedure.
    thanks,
    Farah

    Hello Farah,
    I think by system refresh you mean system copy.
    From system copy perspective follwing steps need to be taken:
    pre copy steps:
    1. Disconnect CUA. Please go to the child system. Go to TRANSACTION BD64 and delete the ALE model view for CUA.
    Subsequently go to parent system. Then to transaction SCUA. In menu bar go to Distribution model and then to Delete. Choose the radiobutton Child System and then give the logical name of the child system.
    Post system copy activties:
    1. in case the system copy has been performed from parent system of CUA to child system then go to child system and then goto BD64. Delete the exisitng ALE model for CUA. If parent system is not the source system of CUA you can ignore this step. Next Login to parent system. Go to SCUA then change mode and then add the logical system name of child system to it.Next go to SCUG and do user master reconcilliation.for this double click on child system and then under do transfer users wherver it is available.
    Frankly these are ideal steps after system copy ahich I follow since there is not much disparity in user master data across systems in my CUA. So even if system copy happens the user master data in child system remains more or less the same.
    If at all there is a minor difference I adjust it through SU01 or SU10. However in case there is a major difference then you it becomes a bit complicated. reasons being system copy wil overwrite entire stuff. Whether it is CUA or any other data. Say for example a child role exisits in child system but is not in the source system of system copy then it wont be present after system copy. if there are such issues then let us know. May be we can think
    something. otherwise this approach should do the job for you.
    Please award points if you found the anwers useful.
    regards.
    Ruchit.

  • SAP APO SYSTEM REFRESH

    Hi All,
    We are going for a system refresh from PRD to DEV in our SAP SCM-APO 7.0 , Live Cache 7.7,The SCM system runs on a DB6 platform with Windows OS,  and the DEV is similar to PRD in terms of OS n DB, but am i a little bit confused because it looks like in PRD both SCM & Live Cache are in the same server but in DEV its on different server.How do it go about it,please give ur valuable suggestion from scratch
    Thanks,

    Alex,
    Those books that you 'found' are classroom textbooks; and they are generally only made available to students who are taking the underlying class. 
    For these classes, SAP loads data into their training systems that support the classroom curricula, prior to the start of each class.
    So, the easy answer is "take the SAP class".  If you take the class, SAP will provide you with a new copy of the course material, and once you are in the classroom, you are generally provided with access to their training system, which is consistent with the course material.
