Test and Demo Systems (DPA)

Would like comments from prior users of Remote Test and Demo Systems (or DPA?) where you get remote access to an SAP maintained system for the purpose of testing your application's interfaces with SAP ERP and/or BW.
- how do you obtain this access
- how long does this process take
- what's cost
- how well does the system work
- do you get access to only the flight data or you can create your own.

Hello Veeren,
Hope this helps:
Q. How to obtain access ?
Just contact the ICC guys <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sdnservices/icc">http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sdnservices/icc</a> and they will help you out with this. We had a lovely experience with the consultants for our XI Content Certification.
Q. How long does this process take ?
In our case, it was less than a week.
Q. What's the cost ?
We were fortunate to do it during the promotional period and did not have to pay anything. The ICC consultant would help you with the details.
Q. How well does the system work ?
The system was quite fast and the access is via ITS / SAP GUI for HTML.
Q. Do you get access to only the built-in data or you can create your own ?
Besides the XI Server, it was an IDES system in our case and we were also able to create data.
All the best for your certification.

  • Service product replication for test and developement system

    Hi Experts,
    In our scanario service product is created in production system and later manually created in test and developement system.
    Is there is any standard function module avilable to replicate the product master data into test and developement system
    Or Is it possible to use the middleware functionallity to replicate the service product details.
    Please advice on this issue.
    Thanks,

    You can use the FindFile method in the TS API:
    FindFile Method
    Syntax
    Engine.FindFile ( fileToFind, absolutePath, userCancelled, promptOption = FindFile_PromptHonorUserPreference, srchListOption = FindFile_AddDirToSrchList_Ask, isCommand = False, [currentSequenceFile])
    The function itself returns a boolean which indicates if the file exists or not. 
    Then just use a Call Executable step to run command line string to delete the file.
    Hope this helps!

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • Error while generating export datasource in Test and Prod system

    Hi experts,
    I tried to generate export datasorce on a cube in teh testing system so that i can use this as a datasource for another cube. I did this so that i can transport all teh relevnt objects from D to T. But Iam gettin teh following erro msg
    <b>System setting does not allow changes to be made to object ISTD 80CRM_PRI.</b>
    while Prod system produces teh follwoing error msg
    <b>Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted</b>
    <b>Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel'.</b>
    After i have done this and when i go to the context menu of teh infocube i can see maintain export datasource option.
    Also I couldn't see the infosource generated in Infosources ( FYI I have already done display generated objects under settings)
    Can anyone tell me how to proceed further.
    Thanks,
    DV

    Hi DV,
    Generally export datasource are not included in the request from the test server. It gets generated automatically when (ODS,Cube) based on which the datasource s transported to production / quality .
    I think solution should be try not to include export datasource, infosource ,transfer rules to request from dev server.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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).

  • 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

  • Inconsistent screens in func group in test and dev systems

    Hi Guys
    We are facing a proble where in the test system a particular function group (CIFI) is complete but in the development system it has some screens and includes missing.
    I gues this has happened due to some repair.
    Can anybody throw some light on this?
    Thanks for all the help
    Sameer

    You need to check the consistency of function group : check in SE37 menu.
    You need to check your transports to check if you transport all version in the logical historical.

  • Install BI Content on Test and Transport

    Hi,
    how do you make sure that something that works on your testsystem will also work on the
    production system? For example if I install some objects from BI Content, and everything works fine on the test system, and now I transport these few installed objects on production system how do I know if everything else was transported before?
    I mean I can compare both systems, but then I have to check each object on test and production system
    to know if everything was transported before...Am I wrong?
    Thanks
    alto

    Hi,
    If it is already live system then you have to compare each object with production system .

  • Question of SAP Methodology of Implementation esp. System Testing and Test Script

    Dear SAP Member,
    As a very new and inexperienced customer to the SAP and the business. My company is preparing for the retail shop establishment which part of the preparation includes SAP implementation.
    At first, we strongly believe SAP can fit and serve our business need well. Also, the standard methodology of implementation will be able to deliver the system with expected quality. However, the local implementor disappoint my firm with poor quality delivery and control that result in the perception of uncertainty of the system to be lived.
    The methodology proposed by the implementor composed with
    1) Preparation
    2) Blueprint
    3) Realization
    a) Program development and unit test by vendor
    b) Training
    4) Final Preparation
    a) Integration test by Users
    b) Data conversion preparation
    5) Go-Live and Support
    My problem comes up with phase 4-5
    Problem 1: Unit/functional test performed by implementor . For this activities, how could customer ensure that every single function has been developed or implemented according to the requirement and without error?
    Problem 2: Vendor  provides slot for integration test for 7 days. Is it normal practice that test can be done within this short period?
    Problem 3: Does SAP methodology has the standard quality control, test enter and exit criteria and issue/incident management?
    Problem 4: How should the standard test script look like? What i received from implementor was like functional list rather than script.
    Problem 5: what should be step for conversion apart from the data preparation by users? The local implementor does not explain/elaborate the detailed activities.
    Last but not least, as the customer do not satisfy with the SAP partner (local implementor quality). What should be the process for feedback as to prevent other new customer to face the same problem?
    SK

    SK,
    Thamil has given his view.  Here is another.
    how could customer ensure that every single function has been developed or implemented according to the requirement and without error?
    If this is an issue to you, you can insist that members of your test team participate in unit testing.  You are, after all, the client, and it is your money being spent.  As long as you can furnish testers, who are competent to evaluate unit testing scenarios, you can have them work with the vendor during unit testing.
    Vendor  provides slot for integration test for 7 days. Is it normal practice that test can be done within this short period?
    It depends on what is being implemented.  I have seen implementations which contained over a hundred test scenarios and  over 2000 test scripts; each of which must be tested by multiple functional groups.  1 week is not enough to complete Integration testing in this case.
    Also remember that it is necessary to allow time to correct 'bugs' found during integration testing, and then to re-test after the bugs are fixed.  Except in the simplest of implementations, 1 week may not be enough to accommodate the bug fixes and retests.
    Does SAP methodology has the standard quality control, test enter and exit criteria and issue/incident management?
    Which 'SAP methodology' are you talking about?  Bottom line, the client must insist that the vendor incorporate any methodologies that are required for his business.  Don't assume that your vendor will automatically bring these items to the table, YOU may have to bring them to the table.
    How should the standard test script look like? What I received from implementer was like functional list rather than script.
    ?????  It should look like whatever you want it to look like.  Many companies have existing templates.  If your company doesn't have such a template, ask your vendor for one.  Go over it together with him and make appropriate modifications that meet your business requirements.
    what should be step for conversion apart from the data preparation by users? The local implementer does not explain/elaborate the detailed activities.
    It is impossible to say at the beginning of the project.  Sometime during realization, the client and the vendor will jointly develop a detailed cutover plan.  More importantly, the client will develop a change management plan for the client company, in which all stakeholders in the client company will come to understand how and when ALL of the client's business processes will need to change, and to develop plans for all affected groups.

  • Does SAP test and certify MII against the latest operating system patches?

    Does SAP test and certify MII against the latest operating system patches?

    If by latest OS patches you mean - does SAP retest MII every time MS puts out a new patch or critical update, then the answer would be no (probably not overly surprising).
    This would be more impacted in 11.5 because of IIS and the only-Windows operating system, but with v12.x and the platform/OS combinations supported by NetWeaver, MII is really abstracted from the O/S through NetWeaver so that would be the angle to pursue with regard to re-testing and validation.  I most assuredly cannot speak to the validation process for NetWeaver pertaining to operating system patches and updates, but I would assume OS service pack levels would be dealt with according to release cycles, but it would be very reactive for every patch that comes along for each of the operating systems in the matrix (http://service.sap.com/pam).
