Table structure changed in testing system after system refresh.

Hi Team,
Recently we underwent a system refresh in Testing System where the Testing data is filled with Production data. But now we find that in one table some fields which we had deleted they are again found there. The version history of table is also gone. The table object was under testing in testing system and after which it was supposed to be transported to production. I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure. Please correct me if I am wrong. Please also let me know what could be the reason of those changes in table if it is not System Refresh.
Regards,
Amit

I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure.
Alas, you were wrong, after all table definition are data too, as program sources...
You have to re-import every transport request which was not yet transported to production in your test system.

Raymond

Table structure changes from PS HRMS 8.3 & 8.8 to PS 9.1

Hi,
Is there any delivered report (or) excel sheet explaining the table structure changes from PS HRMS 8.3 & 8.8 to PS 9.1
Any help on this highly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure to understand what kind of module you're talking about.
Anyway, there are several docs available in MOS which shows the features differences over the versions, have a look :
PeopleTools Cumulative Feature Overview Tool ID 793143.1*
But I didn't find any starting by your (very old) Peopletools version.

Ho to track table structure changes ?

Hi
I need to know how to track the table structure changes ?
I mean how to know when , which column was added/dropped/altered by which user for a table.
Is there any DD view for the same in Oracle??

How to find old hostname remained in new system after system copy

Hello all,
Let me ask you about changing hostname during system copy.
I've finished homogeneous system copy. I changed its hostname and did not change its SID.
I know we should check and modify RFC destination(SM59), logon group(SMLG), SAPconnect(SCOT), operation mode(SM04) and instance profiles after system copy with changing hostname.
But my customer also used hostname for variant. I overlooked.
Then they require me to provide how to find old hostname in whole system ...
Do you have any good tools or idea? Any advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ikue

Hi,
If u have not deleted the inactive profiles in the tcode RZ10, you can find the old hostname in the instance profile.
Also if u have not deleted the entries in the tables TPFET and TPFHT, u can find the old hostname here in these tables also.

ChaRM in QA system after QA refresh with production

Hi,
After deploying ChaRM, if we refresh QA system with production server, would the projects be overwritten?
or Is there a way to perform system refresh without affecting CTS projects in QA?
Thanks and Regards,
Jamuna Nithyanandam

What do you mean with "Delta transports"? I assume, delta transports contain those objects which were not moved to production, only to QA, and therefore the are now missing in QA after system copy.
CHaRM process supports to move all changes controlled into Production, by using normal corrections (transaction type SDMI). So there should no delta transport be required. If something was in QA and not on Production, when you perfromed the system copy, you can use test transport functionality, to re-import these missing transports into QA.

Table structure changes

Assuming that an OraLite 10g is now running on CE.Net and Msync is working fine to do data synchronization between Oralite 10g and an enterprise 9i database. If I make structure changes to a table on the enterprise database, how do I reflect the changes to the OraLite database on the CE.net device.
Thank you.

There's a good post about this on metalink...
A) Add column
1. Upload all client data. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
2. Stop Mobile Server listener
3. Change the Oracle8i/9i database schema (add column)
4. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API AlterPublicationItem()
5. Start Mobile Server
6. Execute a sync from the client
7. The new column should be seen on the client. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
B) Drop column
1. Upload all client data. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
2. Stop Mobile Server listener
3. Delete column of the base table in the Oracle database schema
4. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API DropPublicationItem()
5. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem().
6. Start Mobile Server
7. Execute a sync from the client
8. The new column should be seen on the cliet. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
C) Change column datatype
Changing datatypes in a repliatated system is not an easy task. You have to follow certain procedures in order to make it to work. Use DropPublicationItem, CreatePublicationItem and AddPublicationItem methods from the Consolidator Admin API. You must stop/start Mobile Server listener to refresh the cache.
1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
2. Stop Mobile Server listener
3. Drop/create column (do not use conversion procudures) at the base table
4. Call DropPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue no longer exist.
5. Call CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue reflect the new column datatype
6. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
7. Client executes sync. This should drop the old snapshot and recreate the new snapshot. Use MSQL to check
snapshot definitions.
D) Drop table
1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
2. Stop Mobile Server listener
3. Drop base table
4. Call DropPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue no longer exist.
5. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
6. Client executes sync. This should drop the old snapshot. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
E) Add table
1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
2. Stop Mobile Server listener
3. Add new base table
4. Call CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem() method
5. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
6. Client executes sync. This should add the new snapshot. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
F) Changing Primary Keys
Chaning PK is a severe operation which must be executed manually. A snapshot must be deleted and recreated to propagate the changes to the clients. This causes a full refresh on this snapshot.
1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
2. Stop Mobile Server listener
3. Drop the snapshot using DropPublicationItem() method o
4. Alter the base table
5. Call CreatePublicationItem()and AddPublicationItem() methods for the altered table
6. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
7. Client executes sync. The old snapshot will be replaced by the new snapstot using a full refresh. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
G) To Change a Table Weight =>
Follow the procedure below to change the Table Weight parameter. The table weight is used by the Mobile Server/Synchronization to determin the sequence in which client records are applied to the Oracle database.
1. Run MGP to apply any changes in the InQueue to the Oracle databse
2. Change table weight using SetTemplateItemMetadata() method
3. Add/change constraint on the the base table which reflects the change in table weight
4. Synchronize

Cube is still assigned to original system after system copy

Hello Experts,
After system copy (BW and ECC), some cubes are still assigned to the original system.
Displaying the flow, the cube is assigned to the new system and the original one and the error message RSAR203 "Source system & (old one) does not exist" is araised.
I see that RFC connexion with original system are still in the system (were not deleted by basis team).
I have this problem only for cubes.
Any idea how can i fix this issue?
Thank you in advance.

HI,
You can try the tcode 'bdls'. in this tcode you copy all tables to new source system.

Oracle Data Pump - Table Structure change

Hi,
we have daily partitioned table, and for backup we are using data pump (expdp). we policy to drop partition after backup (archiving).
we have archived dump files for 1year, few days back developer made changes with table structure they added one new column to table.
Now we are unable to restore old partitions is there a way to restore partition if new column added / dropped from currect table.
Thanks
Sachin

If a new column has been added to the table, you can import only the the data from the old structure to the new structure. Use the parameter CONTENT=DATA_ONLY.

Table-Structure Change

Hi Guys!!!
I have created a Z***** table n activated,now i want to change the data type from FLTP to CHAR but the thing is am getting an error "Structure change at field level (convert table Z******).what i supposed to do?
Warm Regards,
Mohandoss P.

Hi,
Along with that message i think u will get 'ok' and 'delete' button will come..
please click on delete button.
but make sure that the table field is not using any where after deleting the table. other wise dependent programs will give dump.

Last time the table structure changed

What is the best way to find out as to when a table structure was last changed? (Like adding or modifying a column) ?
I queried LAST_DDL_TIME in the dba_objects view but the problem is that it stores the last time the table was truncated (using TRUNCATE TABLE table_name), as we do truncates often. I was interested in find out when the table was altered. Any ideas ?

Hi,
i think database trigger will do better according to your need....
its simple and best.
Just create a new table and database trigger.
Like
create table db_ddl_log
username varchar2(30),
ddl_date date,
ddl_type varchar2(30),
object_type varchar2(18),
owner varchar2(30),
object_name varchar2(128)
create or replace trigger db_DDL_Trigger
AFTER DDL ON DATABASE
BEGIN
insert into db_ddl_log
username,
ddl_date,
ddl_type,
object_type,
owner,
object_name
VALUES
ora_login_user,
sysdate,
ora_sysevent,
ora_dict_obj_type,
ora_dict_obj_owner,
ora_dict_obj_name
END;
now check it.
SQL> select * from db_ddl_log;
no rows selected
SQL> desc a
Name Null? Type
NO NUMBER
SQL> alter table a add (name varchar2(1));
Table altered.
1* select * from db_ddl_log
USERNAME DDL_DATE DDL_TYPE OBJECT_TYPE OWNER OBJECT_NAME
SYS 06-MAR-06 ALTER TABLE SYS A
SQL> truncate table a;
Table truncated.
sql> select * from db_ddl_log
USERNAME DDL_DATE DDL_TYPE OBJECT_TYPE OWNER OBJECT_NAME
SYS 06-MAR-06 ALTER TABLE SYS A
SYS 06-MAR-06 TRUNCATE TABLE SYS A

Demantra PTP table structure changed in 7.3.X.X

The staging tables structure is changed in Demantra version 7.3 onwards as compared to Demantra 7.2.X.X. Some of the "Required" columns in "BIIO_Promotion" table which is used to load promotion data`has been removed in Demantra 7.3. And some more "Required" columns are added in "BIIO_Promotion" table.
The disappointing thing is that the implementation and user guide doesn't speak about it. How the implementer know, what type of values to load in these mandatory columns to populate the promotion data in Demantra.

How can I change the default message after System Call Handler transfer error?

Hi,
I'm using Unity Connection 9.1 and System Call Handlers to allow to join internal extensions (not reachable from the PSTN).
I succeeded but I would like to change the default message played when the extension dialed is not known. I tried with Error greetings but nothing changed.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Julien

Just tried this on my 9.1 and 10.0(1) servers and it worked fine.
I went to the opening greeting call handler, selected the "error" greeting, set the greeting to play my personal greeting (it defaults to the system generated greeting), recording "hey, you dialed the wrong number" and then called in and during the opening greeting I dialed "88" - I heard "hey, you dialed the wrong number" and then it repeated the opening greeting recording as it should.
the default action after playing your custom greeting in this case is to "restart greeting" - which is why the opening greeting plays again.
Not sure what you did in your testing with the error greeting - check to make sure you have it set to play your personal greeting instead of the default system greeting - since you can't disable the error greeting there's not a lot of other items I can think of to check.

Changing Logical System after System Copy

We just did a system copy of our Production system onto our QA system. I created the new Logical Name (QR3) through BD54 but when I try to change it in SCC4, it will not allow me to.
Do I need to make this change through another transaction?
thanks.
Marie

another way to change the logical system
name is to run /nbdls with the system copy option.
This will also create the logical system name
and update the scc4 entry for you. As well
as that it will change all reference to the old
logical system name to the new one.
This is especially important if your SAP system
connects to others eg CRM, BW, APO etc.

Tom

Table structure changes when using 'create table X as ( select * from X@remote_server )'

I need to create and copy data from a remote Oracle server to a local server. The command I use is
create table X as ( select * from X@remote_server )
with remote_server is the tns name of the remote Oracle server.
The local table is created and populated with data as expected but when I check the structure using 'desc X' it shows me all the CHAR fields of the local table are triple as large as of the remote table.
I guess the problem is the difference between the NLS_CHARACTERSET settings . The local charset is AL32UTF8 and the remote is WE8MSWIN1252.
How do I change the command to make the two tables have the same field sizes ?
Thanks,
Vu

Do you want to be able to store all the data from the remote table in the local table? Assuming you do, increasing the size of the column would be the correct behavior.
By default, a VARCHAR2(10) allocates up to 10 bytes of storage. In the Windows-1252 character set on the source, 1 character requires 1 byte of storage. So a VARCHAR2(10) has space for up to 10 characters. In the UTF-8 character set on the destination, however, 1 character can require up to 3 bytes of storage. So a VARCHAR2(10) may allow you to store as few as 3 characters. Since Oracle has no way of knowing what data you have (and will have) in the source system, it triples the size to ensure that all the data from the remote system will fit in the new table. If you want the columns to be the same size on the destination that they are on the source, it is highly probable that you'll get errors inserting the data because at least one value will be too large for the destination column.

Myself system after System copy

Hello,
we have copied our PROD system(SLBWP200) to our DEV system(SLBWD200).
We have executed BDLS tx. After this, in RSA1 the old myself system (SLBWP200) have been renamed to SLBWD200, but the icon show the system as an R/3 system, not as myself system.
We have checked RSBASIDOC table and show this two entries:
SLBWD200 SLBWD200 ACT ZSBD039 000 BD 3 620 .....
SLBWD200 SLBWP200 ACT ZSAA002 000 AA M 620 ......
Any idea?
Regards. Angel.

Which selection did u make ? Client dependent or client independent conversion tables ?
Did you leave the Tables to be converted blank ?
Reactivate all partner agreements that carry the new logical system name after renaming.
