Transport of portal pages from Production to Development

Hi,
I need to transfer the portal pages from from the production server to development server. I did see references from Development to Production but not vice- versa.
Can anybody please help me with this? What are the best practices?
DEP :- SP19 and PEP - SP9.
Thanks much,
Dharmi

Hi,
The best practises are :
1) All the Portal Servers in the System Landscape should have the same version, same support package and patches.
2) You should never transport from Production to Development, it's always the other way round.
Why do you want to transport something from Production to Development ? We always develop somthing, test it and then trasnport it to production. Any modifications to be done, should be first done on the Development Server, tested and then transported to the Production. I don't see a need to transport content from Production to Development.
Anyways, if you want to do so can you always create a transport package on Portal Production Server, add those pages to the transport package, export the transport package. You may save this transport package on the local system or you may copy this from the export folder of the server to the import folder of Portal Production Server. Then on the Portal Developement Server import the file. If you have saved the transport package file on your local machine, then while importing select client, browse and then import the file from your local machine or else select server -> browse -> import folder -> select the transport package file and import.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sunil

  • BEx Query to be transported from Production to Development

    Hi All,
    We have got an unusual scenario in which we have to import/transport few Bex queries from Production to Development environment. I understand this is not a best practice, but any one suggest the way to implement the same.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Hi Jay,
    For every transport which moves a transport route is configured in transaction STMS (Transport Management System). Ideally it is Dev --> Qal --> Prod. Usually we do not have access to this transaction as Basis Team Configures this route. Check once in transaction STMS (if you have access) that whether the route Prod --> Dev is configured or not (i doubt it would be).
    In that case you can raise a request to Basis to configure this route for this exceptional case, if they agree then Transports can be moved via this new configured route.

  • Exporting data from Production to Development in a R/3 System

    Good Morning,
    I have a landscape where i have a Productive and a Development system (SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 SR1 1.10 with MaxDB 7.5 running on a HP-UX 11.23) and i was asked to copy the data and customizing (not user master data) from Production to Development. Both systems have 7 clients (6 for each country and one for Human Resources) and i need to copy the productive data to the development data (the Productive data can overwrite the Development data).
    This is my first time doing this, and since i have a short deadline to do it, i need all the help i can get...
    I'm not sure if i should use SCC8 or SCC9 in order to create a transport request for each client copy.
    I've checked the OS space in sapdata and transport directories, i've also checked the database space and i need to change MAXDATAVOLUMES size and also create more volumes.
    Now that i've done that, i need to know what to do next... Does anyone knows where i can find a procedure or documentation on this? Some kind of step by step guide?
    About the Export Profiles, which default profile should i choose in order to copy
    All client specific data, customizing AND NOT user master data?
    Can i do any kind of test run before the export in order to understand the space i'm going to need in transport directory for example?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Pedro Gaspar

    Hello Pedro,
    1. In SCC8 the SAP_APPL profile isn't available, so i guess i need to use SAP_ALL and change the user master data accordingly afterwards right?
    In that case, you should/can 'Export' the user master of the target system before the Client copy, so that you can re-import the same user master in the target system after sap_all copy from source.
    2. I also have several project teams developing in ABAP in my development system. If i export the productive client, will the ABAP code be overwritten (scripts, smartforms, etc...)? I ask this, because right now there are several programs with different versions in both systems (the landscape consists of only a DEV and PRD system NO quality). If the ABAP code in development will be overwritten, i need to tell the development teams to comment all the changes, then create transports to production to make the program versions the same, and then save the data an cofiles to import them again in development after the import. Will also RFC definitions change? Jobs will also be copied? What's the difference between this and a Homogeneous System Copy using backup/restore?
    This is the reason that normally the 'Production to Development' copy is not recommended. I would wait if our other techies here can help/advise us for this.
    A simple difference between a client copy and system copy is that the client copy is just 'client dependent' change and system copy is 'system wide' change - erasing everything on the target and just overwriting/duplicating the 'complete source' onto the target.
    Thanks

  • Full export of the CMS from Production to Development

    Hello All,
    We have to export the reports and universes from Production to Development. In short we need to sync the Development CMS repository with Production CMS repository.
    What is the best way to do this. Is Import Wizard the only way to export the contents to Development?
    Because when I exported one report from Dev to Prod , we had to go and reset the scheduling properties again in Production. It did not maintain the properties which it was set to before. Is there a way to maintain the scheduling properties the way it was set to before. Or every time when we export a modified report to Production, we need to go and set properties back?
    We are using BO 3.1 version.
    Thanks,
    Naveen

    Hi NR,
    You will see both Development & Productions services when you go to the "Servers" in CMC once the development is up.
    For example,
    dev.pageserver
    dev.reportjobserver
    dev.cacheserver
    prod.pageserver
    prod.reportjobserver
    prod.cacheserver
    this happens b'cos of using the production schema for development. It will have a copy of the production services, so you need to delete the services once the CMC is up and running.

  • Transfer of FSV from Production to Development

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there any way to tranfer FSV from Production system to Development system because we don't have the correct version of FSV in Development system.
    Please anybody can help in this.
    Thanks in advance
    Narayanan

    Hi,
    yes create a tranpsort request in  P-client from OB58 (mark the FSV version go to "table view / transport"), in the transport request enter the target system number from the DEV-client.
    Releaae the request in SE10. In STMS go to the target client, check if the request is ready to be imported in Dev-client if not go to "Extras / other requests / add" and key in the transport request number that you've created to add the request to the import queue.
    Your ABAP-guys / base admins can help you if required.

  • Issue in redirecting to portal page from SSO login page

    HI facing issue while redirecting to portal application from SSO login page.please find below basic details
    the application comprises of TAM / Apache / Weblogic, and all the request goes in the same order.
    When the application is deployed as portlet, the jsp page some how hard codes the apache host name, that in turn blocks any form submit or Ajax action.
    so on successful login the redirection is not happening to required portal page as it includes apache host name in the url consrtucted.
    Please suggest me what are the configurations that I need to verify .
    Thanks in Advance

  • Opening a Portal page from UWL item's click

    Hi,
    I have written a custom UWL connector that connects to 3rd party system to fetch tasks.
    This custom connector has  been registered with UWL and tasks from this 3rd party system are now appearing in my UWL.
    The requirement is to open a Portal page on click of these UWL items.
    That is, when user clicks on this custom UWL item, a Portal page should be opened in new window.
    I tried setting item's executionURL to following (inside getItems() method of connector) : -
    1. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompanyPurchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest
    2. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompany.Purchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest&target="_blank"
    3. Set Quick link property of corresponding page and then set executionURL as: -
    https://myportal.com/irj/portal/purchaserequest
    Issue being faced: -
    When user clicks on this UWL item, it opens following URL which just displays blank portal page: -
    https://myportal.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.mycompany.layout.PortalLayoutFolder!2fcom.mycompany.layout.DesktopFolder!2fmycompanyDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchaising%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchase_Request%2Fcom.mycompany.iViews%2Fcom.mycompany.purchaseRequest&CurrentWindowId=WID1326775699455&NavMode=1
    Any idea what is going wrong here?
    I am not able to figure out what & from where its preparing above URL instead of opening the URL that I specified in Connector's executionURL attribute.
    Regards,
    Amey

    Issue was with iView that I was trying to open in DEV portal.
    It worked fine in TEST & PROD portals.
    Hence, NavigationTarget=<> approach works fine.

    Well, to start with you can go for ABSOLUTE NAVIGATION.
    Secondly, you can find the snippet here

    Above it, the examples of SWDP will not work if you test them from SE80-ABAP WAS...I suggest you to create a WDA IView in Portal and test it in Portal itself.
    Hope this should solve your problem.

  • Calling portal page from Oracle E-suite

    Hi,
    I want to know how to open a portal application from oracle Application forms. The user logins to Oracle apps, and select the 'portal' responsibility. Then it should open the portal application in a web browser.
    Thanks,
    Nishanth.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick response. In my case, the user logins with a responsibility and clicks on one of the menus named 'open portal' or something similar and then, it should open up the web page. Will that be possible using this function? I understand that you have to define a function to be associated with a menu and things like that. Any pointers in this direction?
    Thanks,

  • Replication of Project Server 2010 databases from Production to Development

    HI
    We have One Production, One Development and One QA server but the Production data is not matching with the Dev and QA.
    Now our client is asking is there any possibility that we can copy the production data bases and replicate in the Dev and QA.
    Is there any auto sync method where the production data updates will be updated in Dev and QA automatically.
    Our environment is Project Server 2010  4 PWA data bases and 1 config data base and 1 config data base for project sites.
    Please suggest a best possible way to solve this issue as i thought to take the the PWA back up frm central admin along with the 4 db back up from pwa--- 6 db back up from sql server---- restore all of them in the Dev and QA---i don't think it is the right
    approach.
    Thanks
    Geetha
    Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

    As per your First post you only want to update the data of DB on regular basis. 
    Now you are talking about back up restore Please be clear what you want . 
    If you have all the configuration ready on qa and dev then only replication need to be done. 
    can i use the replication mechanism for all the 5 databases in PS 2010 at time won't be a problem right
    ?  YES
    other wise 
    If i want to copy the PWA configuration part can i use play book or any other steps i need to perform.
    YES
    We have some workflows on PWA instance. Create workflow on Dev and QA

  • Prevent portal page from open automatic

    Hi there,
    i got this issue:
    A portal page opening an external fullscreen window and defined as first entry point in second level navigation, should not be openend automatically when clicking on the corresponding top-level navigation entry.     
    It should only open when explicitly clicking on its navigation button on second-level navigation.
    Any idea ?

    The Portal expects content to be displayed when clicking on TLN. Either content assigned to the TLN or to any of the second level navigation items.
    But there is not always a reason why I should I have assigned any content  to a TLN item.
    Furthermore if I don't want any page from second level to be displayed automatically because the user has no preferences in advance. And he doesn't want any kind of starting page or so. In our case all those pages open in external windows. So if I would make one of them the starting page and the user doesn't need this one, he first must close the window and then select the desired one.
    This is much more uncomfortable I think.
    Cheers

  • Stop user accessing portal pages from book marks(favourites)

    Hi,
    Scenario... a user can log into portal and set pages as book marks in their browser (favourites), then close the ssession(and browser); then reopen the browser and access the page from the book mark, portal forces the user to log in (which is good) but I don't want them to have access to the page book marked, I want them to be always sent to the main page instead.
    Is it possible to stop this happening.
    Thanks in anticipation
    DG

    Hi,
    I am afraid this cant be done. The only thing is that the user will be forced to login.
