Transport Mailboxes between different systems

Hi,
I've recently been in a situation where I had to transport 35 mailboxes from one GW7 system to another GW7 system (2 seperate networks). The way we did this was by archiving each of the mailboxes in the first system, renamed the fid and restore in the mailboxes created in the new system.
Besides that this was a very time consuming and tedious procedure, especially with some large mailboxes involved, we also encountered situations where archives were corrupted for some reason.
I expected that such 'migration' would be far easier then one from for example Exchange to GroupWise, but after this experience give me the latter anytime!
Did I overlook something and IS there a much easier and less risky method of performing such migration?
I expect to have a couple more of these migrations coming up, so any suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Eduard

archive/unarchive.
I have a situation where I am creating the "new" system. My "new" system does not have any users in it yet.
Which GW System would you create the secondary domain & PO in, OLD or NEW? What do you mean by ( "release" the domain )

Transferring payments between different systems

Our Client has SAP CR&B and Oracle Financials.
SAP CR&B and Oracle use different Bank Accounts.
How do other clients handle scenarios where they have move dollars between different systems?
For example:
A customer has a receivable of 100 dollars in SAP CR&B and another receivable of 900 dollars in Oracle A/R.
Customer sends a payment for 1000 dollars which gets posted in SAP and also funded in the bank account. There is a credit of 900 on the customer account in sap.
We need to move the 900 dollars from SAP to Oracle system. Client wants to reverse the 1000 dollar payment posting and make a new payment posting for 100 dollars in SAP system.
If we make this new posting of 100 dollars - the bank clearing a/c will be off balance because we cant make the corresponding funding posting to the bank a/c since the money is already realized in the bank.

Hi,
I dont know if any physical connection is possible b/w your two systems-SAP CR&B and Oracle Financials.
However, what you can do is, you can move the total amount of say $1000 to the payment clarification worklist in SAP.
Then from there you can allocate the amount pertaining to the customer in SAP, say $100 to the customer account.
The remaining $900 you can move to a suspense account., and then post a misc dr to offset the same using a particular set of main\sub pertaining to a GL a/c-Payments-Oracle Financials in SAP.
In oracle, you can post a misc cr against the same GL A/c of $900 and allocate it against the customer's account.
At the end of the day, when you reconcile, entries in GL A/c in SAP should exaclty offset the entries of the GL A/c in Oracle.
Hope it helps....
Thanks,
Amlan

How can i transfer the xml files between different systems?

hello
the appearance of xml enable the inter-communication between differences systems.but
i don't know how,such as following scinario:
in the client side,we use the console that is written by using c#,if i finish
filling the text boxes that are within the console,click the submit button,the
console will generate a xml format document.i want the other application that
is written by using jsp and servlet and deployed in weblogic server to receive
the xml document,then process the document.
but i don't know how i can transfer the xml files between the two applications
that is written in different languages? can i use http protocol?
thanks for any helps!

Yes, you can use the HTTP protocol as a transport for the XML message, this
is basically what the HTTP binding for SOAP does. The key is using a
packaging mechanism that different applications will understand, otherwise
only your own applications will know how to extract and process the XML
messages you send between them.

Export and Import transport request between different version?

Hi,
I have tried to Export the transport requests from ECC5 to ECC6 via STMS .Its not throughing any error but no Master datas are transported. Anyone have idea about that?

Hello,
From my experience SAP didn't recomneded transporting from 46C -> ECC5.
The structure of tables and objects are a little bit different between different
releases.

Object Comparison between different systems

Hi to all,
any of you have made a program to compare object/object versions between diferent systems (with RFCs).
Can you tell me wich Function Models and tableshave you used.
I found a very usefull Function Model SVRS_GET_VERSION_DIRECTORY_46 very usefull for my purpose but i depared myself with a strange problem. The table VRSD used in this FM have all the Objects in the System but when i tried to transport a request between 2 diferent Systems no new entry was added to VRSD in the target system so SVRS_GET_VERSION_DIRECTORY_46 is no usefull.
Any one knows if there is any customizing relative to this table or any process to catch this transported objects in the target System?
There is one entry in E070 but here thre is no reference for Object versions.
Many thanks and any help will be very Helpfull.
Thanks In advance
PPaiva

Hi Pedro,
Can you let me know which object you are comparing? Were you not able to do remote comparision for that object?

Use ccBPM mainly for correlation between different systems

In his presentation: "Design Patterns for SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure"
William Li ,from SAP NetWeaverRIG Americas, stats that following:
*Use ccBPM mainly for correlation processing between messages from different systems
Although this practice is well known Ito me , would like to know what stands behind this recommendation (Except for
eSOA BP). is it performance issue, other...
your insights will be most wellcome.

ccBPM offers achieving some difficult requirements easily , that means some cases using standard way of integration not possible .it is true that ccBPM scenarios uses one more layer(BPE engine) but it doesn't mean that it is going to give worst performance.
i had done couple of implementations where we used extensively ccBPM to achive complex integration logics, i never felt ccBPM performance point of view any problems, all interfaces working perfectly in production.my view is it is really awesome.
we have to design any interfaces by following best architectural standards in case of ccBPM also same,there is so much negative publicity about ccBPM, but is it not all true.
the thing that intrigues me the most is the reference to different systems .

it is a good practise to use ccBPM in this case and it is offering correlation mechanism to maintain the reaction between messages so that you can easily differentiate and suppress the unwanted messages.

How to transport Messages between two systems

Dear Expert,
I have a question regarding support message transport. Now I want to transport support messages from one system to another. The source system is Solution Manage 7 EHP1 and target system is something with patch level less than 17. How can I reach the goal in an easiest way? Please guide. Thanks!
Regards,
Fred
Edited by: Fred Zhou on May 10, 2009 5:10 PM

Hello Fred,
May be you can try assigning your support messages to a test plan, that test plan would have been created based on a project.
So while transporting that project, the test plan will get transported(not sure whether the test case status and support messages are getting transported).
Just in case, might help you.
best regds,

How to transfer mailboxes between different feline species

I use two iMacs: the main one at home, and a secondary one in my office. When they both used to run Leopard (10.5.8), I was able to transfer mailboxes from my main iMac to my secondary iMac, so that my secondary iMac had all the email messages that I received on the main iMac. I copied Mail folder in Library from the main iMac, and copied it to the same location in the secondary iMac. When I started Mail on the secondary iMac, all the messages that I received on my main iMac were there.
Now I upgraded my main iMac to the latest model, running Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I found the "hidden" Mail folder, by using "Go to the folder: ~/Library/Mail/V2/". But when I copy the Mailboxes folder from this location, and copy it to the Mail folder in the secondary iMac (still running Leopard), replacing the "Mailboxes" folder inside it, none of the email messages that I received since I switched to Mountain Lion (and Mail v6) shows up, only messages that I received when I was still on Leopard (and using Mail 3.x).
My question is: How can I resume what I used to do, and transfer mailboxes from Mail on Mountain Lion to Mail on Leopard? (Before you ask, no, I don't want to upgrade my secondary iMac to Mountain Lion, because that would be too cumbersome and costly on an old machine.) I just need to know how I can transfer messages that I receive on Mountain Lion Mail to Leopard Mail. Thanks.

Okay, I have now properly exported the mailbox on my Mountain Lion iMac, transferred the exported mailbox to the Leopard iMac, and properly imported the mailbox, all within the respective Mail application. The export appears to have gone smoothly, judging by the size of the mailbox. And the importing procedure also went through all the right motions, but when I open the imported mailbox, it's completely empty. It doesn't even contain the messages that I received before the switchover, as happens when I copy the mailboxes folder and transfer it to the old iMac. So, either way, it doesn't work, but properly exporting and importing mailboxes appear to be worse.

Backup and Restore between different systems

ALCON:
I am considering to get a new desktop Mac soon, and currently my only Mac is my MacBook Pro 17", which I use daily.
One of the things that I hope to accomplish (though not the reason for the purchase) is to freshen my configuration by installing all my applications and moving my data to the new machine so as it get it more organized. Once this is accomplished, what architectural or other issues would I run into if I made a full Time Machine backup of say an iMac, and then tried to restore it to a MacBook Pro so I had a duplicate of my new configuration/installation on the MacBook Pro then?

Baltwo:
Hey no problem on the mixup concerning my intentions.
I am not sure I follow your English exactly, but "f you migrate from the old on initial boot with the new one, none of that stuff won't transfer. " means using Setup Assistant on the new Mac Pro to migrate from the MBP, exactly what "none of that stuff won't transfer"?
1) If I migrate from MBP to Mac Pro, will it migrate my applications or just my data?
(bear in mind, both are Intel systems, and both will be running the same version of MacOS)
2) The /Library directory has more than just cache files, it has many other things in it, for example I have seen customer's systems where they had Adobe help files in their from versions of Adobe software they had long since uninstalled. To what extent does the /Library and other such (local user libraries too) get migrated?
3) You have given me another idea, which is that once I get the Mac Pro properly setup, why not just do the reverse? Install a fresh MacOS onto the MBP, and pretend I am "migrating back" (from Mac Pro to MBP) using Setup Assistant? Let Apple's software worry about making it work, ay?!!
Thanks again, I shall do some more research but you have given me some food for though, and some good ideas too with regard to how to leverage Setup Assistant to my advantage more fully.

Transport between different releases

Hi,
Is it possible to have transports between two server with different releases,
one is on 701 and other is on 700,
pls advise.
Thanks

Hello Irfan,
Transport of customizing between diffeent releases is NOT supported. Also generated objects, which were generated by customizing, should NOT be transported between different releases.
SAP objects may NOT be transported between different releases (e.g. a table in an old release could have less fields than in the newer release and thus such a transport might delete data or if an abap calls a function module and in new release have one parameter more,then you get syntax errors if you transport only one of them from a system with the old release, ...).
So data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions etc.
For pure customer objects (e.g. Z-tables, Z-programs, Y-tables, y-programs or objects in customer name space) it might be ok to transport them. But if e.g. your Z-table uses an SAP data element which has maybe been changed in the new release or does maybe no more exist, you can also get problems during transport of your z-table.
Data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions etc.
Please check the following:

1089083   Transports between Basis Releases 7.0* and 7.1*

Pay attention to point 5 and 6.
5. Are transports possible between systems with different Support Package versions?
6. Are transports possible between different R/3 releases?

Client copy between different operating systems.

Hi Experts,
Our production system is running on HP-UX OS. We are installing a standby quality system and planning to do a client copy to this system from production by taking this into transport domain. But this new system is in windows. So, is it possible to perform a client copy where the source system is HP -UX and target system is windows??
Regards,
Amit.

Hi Amit,
Follow SAP Note 552711 for client copy. Refer to qns no 4 & 5, which is relevant for your question.
Can I create client copies in a heterogeneous system landscape?
Remote copies or client transports can also be carried out between different database and operating systems.

Massive copy of BW transformation between different source system

Hi all,
in my BW I have different source systems. I have mapped several objects to one source system.
Now I need to copy all the transformation to other source systems. These source system are different instance of ECCs, there are the same extractor in all the systems.
I can't use the BDLS becouse these move the transformations between the system not copy it.
I try to create a Transport and using the Conversion of Logical System Names but this change only the objects with source sytems dependencies, it don't change the technical name of transformation, and do not create a tranformation to the new system but overwrite the existing one.
Do you know if there are some program or some procedure to copy transformation between sourcesystem in BW?
Thanks in advance
Mario

Hi,
you can do a Retrofit (System copy), Generally, retrofit happens between two different BW systems.
check with your basis team if the retrofit is possible with in the same BW system but for different clients.
Note : System copy will overwrite all the objects.

How to Transport G/L Accounts between two systems?

Hi,
I am trying to move the Chart Of Accounts along with Company dependent data from our Dev to QA system. I used transaction OBY9 to transport the chart of accounts however, it is only transporting chart of accounts related data and I had to re-create those accounts in Company Code.
I also tried to use FS15 and FS16 between two systems however, no luck. Could you please provide any guidance based on your experience?
Thanks,

Hi John,
For activating ALE for a particular message type there are following prerequisites:
1. Set up the RFC Connection (ABAP) between two systems
2. Configure model view in Sender system
3. Distribute Model view from sender system
4. Generate partner profile from sender system (In sender system go to tcode WE20 go to partner type LS and maintain outbound parameter for message type GLMAST)
5. In receiving system go to tcode WE20 go to partner type LS and maintain Inbound parameter --> Message type GLMAST and Process code GLMA.
Save entries and the above should work for you.
Generate IDOC for one GL Account and try to send company code date for one company code first. The message will appear which says "one idoc transferred".
