Transporting Prodcution data to Testing

Hi
We have a request from clinet that Accounts Master data (they want to set up accounts in Testing server) be transported to Testing from Production. Basis has come back saying they can't do it. If this has to be done with tools like BDC etc is that possible and if so from where in Prodction can I download and to where in Testing I need to upload?
Thanks

Check the SAP Menu Path TOOLS>ALE>MASTER DATA DISTRIBUTION>CROSS-APPLICATION>ACCOUNTING. There you will see the Master Data that is Available to ALE to any SAP Client. Your Basis person would need to setup the ALE Process as far as Defining the Logical System, Checking that the Clients are Assigned to a Logical System, Setting up the RFC Destinations, Maintaining the Distribution Model and Partner Profile, Generate the Partner Profile, and Distribute the Model View, and then Auto Genertae the Partner profile. The TCode for the Above is SALE. I do have some documentation on ALE, but it is Specific to ALE for Variant Configuration only. Hope this points you in the proper direction.

Not able to change the data of test data containers in production system

Dear All,
We have created eCATT scripts in Development SolMan System and moved the transports to Production SolMan System. Customer wants to change the data at Test data containers and run the scripts in production system but we are not able to edit the data.
May be the reason is SCC4 transaction code has set the below option.
Changes and transports for client-specific Objects
u2022 No changes allowed
Customer doesnu2019t want to change the above option and wanted to change the test data containers to give different datau2019s and run the eCATT scripts.
Could you please let me know the solution for this?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahendra

eCatt has the feature where you don't need to transport the scripts or test configuration to our target system. We can keep all our scripts and test data in Solman and run this script any other system in your landscape using the System data container and target system.
Maintain the production as one of the target system in System container in Solman and point that system while running the script. Change the test data in Solman to run this script.
Let me know if you need more information
thanks

DYNPRO_SENT_IN_BACKGROUND Error while transporting XI data source

Hi Experts,
We are having an issue in in transporting XI data source in BI from Dev to Test. The error is geenrated during post handling of the transport, possibly while the data source is bing activated. Teh ST22 dump gives the DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND error. Following informaiton is available in the User Information section of ST22 dump.
Call Program........."CL_RSDS_WEBSERVICE============CP"
Function Module..... "RSDS_WS_WEBS_GENERATE"
Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLSTRD" - in "SYSTEM-EXIT".
    The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 0
    of the (Include) program " ".
Please give us your advice on how to nail down this issue.

Hi,
Check if your data source extract structure is having all 40 fields.
Save and generate the data source again, replicate and then transport.
I hope it will help.

Error in Transport Request PRD to Test application

Dear all,
We are in process of doing reverse transport from PRD to TEST system. i have opened the PRD system and collected the objects in TR and once again done the transport of copies in PRD system
after transport of copies, i tried to import the TR in TEST transport queue. once i tried to import the same i got the below error.
Please advise what needs to be done. Any help would be appreciable.

Hi,
when creating Transport Requests in the Production system the requests are created as local requests that can't be transported between systems, and when the Transport Request is released the Data and Cofiles are not created.
You need to change the client settings with Tx SCC4 to allow the creation of Transport Requests.
You need to create a Temporary Transport Layer and Temporary Transport Route from Production to Test System. When you create the Transport Request make sure the transport request is using this newly created transport layer and has a target system.(Package also) when you release this request, the data and cofiles will be created. The transport request should also appear in the import queue of the Test system.

Who moved the transport to a particular test system?

Hi,
I would like to find out that which user id has moved a particular transports in a given test system? I was unable to find this in the transport log? Any idea on where to look for this info (source system, target system....) ?
thanks for the quick help.
regards,
HB

Hello,
You can get this information inthe STMS queue.
First goto the STMS queue and then select the option of the Import History.
once in the impot history following the following path EDIT--> Dsplay More and you will get the details as to which client the transport was imported and the user who has imported the transport request.
Please Note :The Import Histroy would show only the list of the imports that have happenend in that week. To increase the selection increase the date range by making use of the filter option.

Transport Transaction Data Tool in BCS

Hi All,
I understand that in ECCS, there's functionality where we can transport the transaction data which is stored in ECMCA as well as ECMCT via t-code CX0TA (export and import transaction data), for example from development system to production system.
In ECCS, I used this function since all testing data in development system are all real data. So in order to avoid developing the other tool to transport these data, we use this CX0TA function.
Now, when I use BCS, I only see the transport tool for customising and master data. No transport tool for transaction data.
My question is, is it true that the BCS 4.0 do not include this function anymore? Or do I miss some activation so I can not see the functions in this version?
Any advise will be highly appreciated.
regards,
Halim

Hi Halim,
AFAIK, there is no possibility to transport transaction data in 4.0:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/bf/df183d30805c59e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
And I think there is a reason in it. As you know, transaction data coming to BCS should comply with the format and consistency the system expects.
Transport in BCS is tricky. And there is no guarantee that everything was transported correctly. Hence, the possibility of transaction data load failure is big.
Best regards,
Eugene

Error while transporting a data type

Hello all SAP PI Experts,
I'm trying to transport a data type but I'm getting the below mentioned error.
This is happening even when I gave the proper name of SWCV that contains this data type.
Please suggest how this problem can be solved.
Thanks,
Ajeya G V

Hi Ajeya,
An easy trick is to open the DataType on your Enterprise Service Builder, and once it is opened, (not edit, just open) go to Tools --Export Design Object
The correct SC will be filled as default.

Network based and a-gps, data use tests

i was trying to find this kind of info, but only found others asking.
i hope this is useful info for others, especially while roaming.
skip to the bottom for conclusion,
this is the process i took:
i called nokia tech support,
their phone support his horrible,
the people on the phone don't actually know anything, and have to look up everything you ask them.
they were the worst.
i emailed nokia tech support.
my message was:
"i would like to know the difference between assisted gps positioning, and network based positioning. these are 2 of the 4 options on my nokia e66 for positioning methods. i would like to know if network based positioning uses internet data from my service provider to obtain my gps position. i am especially concerned with this function while i'm roaming internationally, as i do not want to be charged for roaming data use."
in about half hour they responded w/ an answer, and then 45 min after that someone else responded w/ an answer.
the first response, minus the hello's etc. was:
"In response to your email, Assisted GPS and Network Based positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic so you will be charged for data use. Only "normal" GPS and Bluetooth GPS do not generate additional costs related to data traffic.
Normal GPS is quite slow and does not work indoors. Therefore, it is recommended to enable at least A-GPS to get a faster position outdoors.
Network based and Wi-Fi positioning also allow you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation."
the 2nd response was:
"In response to your inquiry, the difference between Assisted GPS positioning (A-GPS) and Network based positioning is that, A-GPS uses satellites while Network based positioning is based on information of your cellular network environment. It allows you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation. Both positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic (unless you have configured the device to use Wi-Fi connection to make the internet connection). The cost may vary while you are on roaming. Kindly contact the service provider for information about data transmission costs."
i can also respond w/ more questions, but instead did some tests, starting with sitting home, indoors, and eventualy moving to a window w/ lots of sky.
test 1:
i enabled:
integrated gps
network based
assisted gps
opened maps,
set maps to be offline,
set default internet access point to my home wlan network,
closed maps,
cleared all counters and the log on the phone's communication log.
opened maps
there is a pink circle around the area i may be in,
the icon that would show gps satellite strength, changes to show the cell phone antenna icon.
but the packet data counter is sending/receiving a total of around 3-8kb immediately, and over the course of time, it keeps adding up, every 1-2 minutes, and it is shown as packet data to/from the access point "at&t internet"
over the course of ten minutes, it's been about 43kb.
and i can tell on the phone's home screen that the packet data connection becomes active when it does.
the maps kb indicator still says 0.0kb, with a line through the double arrow packet data symbol.
test 2:
now i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs
i turned off a-gps.
enabled only integrated gps and network based.
i open maps,
the same thing is happening as with the assisted gps on, except i connected to my home wlan once, in the middle of connecting to at&t internet 10 or so times.
everything else is happening the same.
test 3:
i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs.
enabled only integrated gps.
i open maps, and there is no evidence of packet data connection, or wlan connection.
nothing is showing up in the logs or packet counters, and there is no pink circle around where i may be.
if i set maps to go online, w/ my wlan as the access point, or at&t internet, their respective icons show up on maps, as well as the phone's home screen.
the phone's log show respective connections are made but w/ 0.0kb, and the phone's packet counter, as well as the maps kb usage, say 0.0kb.
test 4:
set maps to offline, w/ my wlan as access point.
exited maps,
turned phone off for a bit to test gps from cold start.
turned on phone,
cleared counters/logs,
enabled only assisted gps and integrated gps.
open maps, there's no pink circle around where i may be, just the red dot of where it thought i last was.
there's about 4-5kb of data transfer,
then i bring the phone to the window where there's a lot of clear sky, and my location is found pretty fast.
i know that w/o assisted gps, w/ only integrated gps, it takes a while to get the gps signals.
i went back and forth to/from the window, and there was packet data use again only once more, not continuously like w/ network based positioning.
so to conclude my tests,
setting the maps to be offline, still uses a-gps and network based positioning.
network based uses a more data, continuously,
which is the opposite of what i thought, i thought a-gps would use more, so i was using network based on and a-gps off while in canada. whoops.
using assisted gps uses about 5-10kb, which, when roaming, according to at&t, they charge 1.95cents/kb.
might be worthwhile for getting a quick gps signal, nothing worse than waiting forever for it to connect.
the only way to be completely clear of data use is disable network based and assisted gps, or set the phone to offline mode.

A-GPS: This uses information from cell network to get a rough idea of where you are. It then uses this information to figure out which satellites to look for. Result is a faster satellite lock. So A-GPS uses a few kB of data to get an initial position, but navigation is done using GPS satellites, which does not require ANY data connection.
Network based: This uses information from the cell network to plot the current position when GPS satellite signal is not available, ie indoors, in a tunnel, etc. Position info derived from the cell network is not as accurate as that from GPS satellites, but serves as a stopgap until GPS signal can be re-acquired. Network based positioning used your data connection EACH TIME the satellite lock is lost. So the amount of data used is dependent on the quality of access you have to the GPS satellites. If you don't lose the connection to the GPS satellites, then you won't use any data.
The ‘offline’ option within the Nokia Maps app only refers to street, POI, etc searches, NOT to A-GPS, Network based positioning or to connecting with the GPS satellites.
If you want to navigate without using ANY data connection, set A-GPS off AND set Network based positioning off AND set the Internet option in Nokia Maps to Offline. Do this and you will not use any of your data connection allowance when navigating. There is no need to put the phone into flight mode.
If I've helped you, you can thank me by clicking the green 'kudos' star on my post. Cheers.

Error While Transporting export Data Source

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to transport a data source from development to quality system through acceptance box.
We need to transport an export data source which contains 40 fields. But when I captured the data source in development system and transported the same to acceptance box it's displaying only 38 fields. 2 Fields are missing from the data source which are present in development system and also source system of export data source.
Please suggest how to get these 2 fields in acceptance box.
Thanks,

Hi,
Check if your data source extract structure is having all 40 fields.

Data Driven Test doesn't work in coded UI

Hi,
I have written my first coded ui data driven test (Visual Studio 2012). Although the test ran and was marked passed. I don't think it actually did anything.
I have 2 fields (Input and Output) on my csv file.
n my app, I want to enter the input field in a field called GoTo which is an UITbedit field, hit enter. This should open another window where I want to validate the window title = to my Output
Here is my code
[DataSource("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.CSV", "|DataDirectory|\\Data/MainData.csv", "MainData#csv", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), DeploymentItem("MainData.csv"), TestMethod]
public void DataDrivenTest()
//string paramVal = TestContext.DataRow["Input"];
this.UIMap.EnterGoToValueMainParams.TextInputEditText =
TestContext.DataRow["Input"].ToString();
this.UIMap.EnterGoToValueMain();
this.UIMap.PressEnter();
this.UIMap.AssertWindowTitleExpectedValues.TextOutputEditText =
TestContext.DataRow["Output"].ToString();
During playback, it appeared that the coded ui test had looped through the csv file, but it didn't actually write anything to the edit field that I was testing.

It still doesn't work,
I modified my code as follows:
this.UIMap.EnterGoToValueMainParams.TextInputEditText =
TestContext.DataRow["Input"].ToString();
this.UIMap.EnterGoToValueMain();
this.UIMap.PressEnter();
this.UIMap.AssertWindowTitleExpectedValues.TextOutputEditText =
TestContext.DataRow["Output"].ToString();
this.UIMap.AssertWindowTitle();
The application appears to loop through the file, but it is placing my original entered test "1" in the edit field during both iterations. The playback is slow enough that I can see what is being entered. It doesn't seem to be replacing the
"1" with a "5" from my input file.

Transportation plan date calculated in VA01

Hi Expert,
The business wants to deliver all goods existing on a sales order togheter even if we have different good issue dates per schedule lines, probably caused by the fact both sales order lines have different routes. Therefore the material, loading and transportation plan dates will also be different for each schedule line. I understand the system will split this sales order into more than one delivery, because the route is taking into account in the delivery split functionality. This is OK. On the other hand, I would like the system to show in VL10H all sales order lines form that sales order. This is possible to be done if the transportation plan dates from each confimed schedule line are the same, because VL10H takes into account the transportation plan date to show the sales order to be delivered. My question is, would it be possible to align the transportation plan date in both schedules lines via customizing or should I have to put on an EXIT? I have already tried via "Define Scheduling by sales order type", but not succesfull.
Thanks Marcelo.
See example below:
Line 10
Req. Del. Date: 19.03.2008
GI date: 05.03.2008
Loading date: 05.03.2008
Mat.AV.date: 05.03.2008
Transp.plan.date: 03.03.2008
Route: TNLN10
Line 20
Req. Del. Date: 19.03.2008
GI date: 04.03.2008
Loading date: 04.03.2008
Mat.AV.date:04.03.2008
Transp.plan.date: 03.03.2008
Route: TNLN11

Hi Marcelo,
In most general scenario, to have complete delivery we use ship complete flag at header level. This will deliver units together for all line items. There is also one ship complete flag at item level in sales A/B screen. I have also been researching on this and i think this also can be used to ship complete some items of sales orders and not all items.
But you want to have transp planning date same but diff routes, then doing through standard SAP is difficult. This will involve major changes to availability checks. I think wiser and easier option is to touch user exit at save document level. This will help to trigger this check at VA01/02 level.
Also please do consider the rescheduling runs effect when such changes are designed.
If this has helped some way to go closer to answer, please do reward me points.
Kind Regards

Transport of ABAP Unit Test Classes between systems.

Hi guys
I have a bit of a dilemma on hands here pertaining to the transport of ABAP Unit test classes. Generally when you create a transport containing classes the transport manager will automatically include all "programs" related to the class like the local type definitions, local implementations and with ABAP Unit the local test classes.
The question that I have is how would one go about excluding the ABAP Unit test classes in transports to production systems and pre-WAS 6.40 systems that do not support ABAP Unit? Does the transport system automatically manage this for you? Any help ideas regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Ettienne Hugo

Hello Ettienne
I have a very similar problem that I have to maintain objects for release 6.20 and 6.40. Since I appreciate ABAP Unit Tests as being very helpful I do not want to miss them even in such a situation.
My approach is as following:
- If possible, I try to separate the local classes from the tested object, for example:
- Report or function group
- contains an include like <z_include_ft01>
- Within <z_include_ft01> I have a single stament <z_include_au01>
The actual ABAP Unit Tests are coded in <z_include_au01>. Now if I need to ship the development to a release < 6.40 the only thing I need to do is to comment the single INCLUDE statement in <z_include_ft01>. This manual step cannot be ommitted (however, it would be simple task to define an eCATT doing this). In addition, include <z_include_au01> should not be in the transport request for the development (if it happened the import error would not affect the function of the development because it is no longer linked together).
Advantage of this approach:
- I clearly see that my development contains ABAP Unit Tests (use naming conventions for the includes) and
- I can ship - with little effort - the development to SAP releases not supporting ABAP Unit Testing yet
Regards
Uwe

Transporting modified data target to production which has data?

Hi,
I have a cube for which i had added two more fields and changed the data model accordingly!
Now, i have a question:
In production this cube is filled daliy and now it has some data records in thousands!
what happenes if i transport this data model with out deleting the data in production?
Though we are in BI 7.0, i am using the 3.x datasources only!
Raj

Hi Raj,
What fields did you add?
Characteristics --> Cube must be empty before transport. You will have to reload the cube.
Navigational Attrinutes --> no problem. You can even use them in your queries. they will be "filled".
Key-figures --> no problem, but no historical data. These fields will only be filled from the moment you have transported the update rules.
Success,
Udo
