Undo System Refresh?
Is there any way to recover apps after performing a system "refresh"? I lost my Microsoft Office software. I need Outlook more than anything else. Please help!
Hey @mayumi769 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're trying to undo your system refresh and recover your Microsoft Office software.
Unfortunately the Windows refresh is permanent. These changes can not be reversed. If you purchased Microsoft Office contact Microsoft directly and they may be able to give you the correct information to reinstall if you no longer have your license key or if it does not work. Usually the keys are only good for 1 computer. The problem is that the installer typically sends information to Microsoft that the key has been used and blocks it from allowing future installs even if it's the same PC.
You can contact MS Office support here: Microsoft - Office support.
Sorry for the bad news.

Retain background jobs and its variants before system refresh activity
Hello All,
I am going to perform system refresh activity on quaity system on monday. Customer wants to retain the background jobs and its variants in the quality system. Please guide me and let me know the steps to retain the background jobs and its variants before starting the system refresh activity.
Regards
SubbuDear Subbu,
You have to export the TBT* Tables to retain the jobs. You can do this with R3trans:
1. Make Export file
2. Make Import file
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
4. Start Database and not SAP
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
6. Start sap
1. Make Export file /tmp/export_cmd
export
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
client=<your client>
delete from TBTCA
delete from TBTCB
delete from TBTCCNTXT
delete from TBTCCTXTT
delete from TBTCCTXTTP
delete from TBTCI
delete from TBTCJCNTXT
delete from TBTCJSTEP
delete from TBTCO
delete from TBTCO_V01
delete from TBTCP
delete from TBTCPV
delete from TBTCR
delete from TBTCS
delete from TBTC_SPOOLID
delete from BTCEVTJOB
select * from TBTCA
select * from TBTCB
select * from TBTCCNTXT
select * from TBTCCTXTT
select * from TBTCCTXTTP
select * from TBTCI
select * from TBTCJCNTXT
select * from TBTCJSTEP
select * from TBTCO
select * from TBTCO_V01
select * from TBTCP
select * from TBTCPV
select * from TBTCR
select * from TBTCS
select * from TBTC_SPOOLID
select * from BTCEVTJOB
2. Make Import file /tmp/import_cmd
import
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_export.log /tmp/export_cmd
4. Start Database and not SAP
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL> startup
or
startsap
stopsap r3
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_import.log /tmp/import_cmd
If you want to undo this, start the export script in P system and the Import script in Q system.
Don't be afraid of the delete statement but without delete it doesn't work!
6. Start sap
startsap
Best regards

After system refresh on oem windows 8.1, windows left deactivated
Hi, Some time ago I upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, last week I suddenly got a corrupted spool driver which made my laptop unable to boot into windows, blue screen etc. So I did a system refresh in the recovery boot section of windows. (System refresh sets your pc back to factory state without deleting your personal files. ) The refresh went fine, until I had booted into windows again, only to discover my OEM windows 8 was not activated any more!! To make matters worse, the product key is recognized by windows, but it tells me the activationserver blocked my productkey!! I was flabbergasted, I'm an IT guy myself and nothing seems to work to undo this. Tried to call microsoft, they refuse to even pick up the phone so i figure i'll come overhere. Since my laptop is an HP Envy 17-j006ed. How can I reactivate my Windows again???!!! MJWings

Logical System Conversion after system refresh failed
Hello,
Logical System Conversion after system refresh couldn't complete as the printer was locked. This job was run in the background. In SM37, the job log of RBDLSMAP shows as job finished, but it took only 40 seconds. Now I see that the logical system got changed(Converted) in the client settings scc4 but I know that this client being a production client and would run for couple of hours. Here is the job log information.
02/18/2009 16:09:33 Job started 00 516 S
02/18/2009 16:09:33 Step 001 started (program RBDLSMAP, variant &0000000000000, user ID ABCD) 00 550 S

02/18/2009 16:10:19 Job finished 00 517 S
When try to rerun bdls again, it shows that it is already available and it says "The new logical system name is already assigned to the current client".
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks,
MaheshHi ,
Rerun the BDLS again as this took very little time.
When you try to run again it popsup message saying it already exists just delete that and again put the Logical system name and run it will run that time.
May be while scheduling the job you gave for spool I am not sure why is it looking for Printer which is locked.
Thanks. -
How to handle the CRM Middleware after system refresh?
Guys,
We are using CRM 5.0 & R/3 4.6C. We have the middleware configured and set up. We finished all inital loads & delta loads are activated as well. The system works perfectly.
Now for some reason the client wants to refresh the R/3 system. (Basically they are copying over the R/3 Dev system to refresh the R/3 Sandbox system. Our connection is currently between the 2 sand box systems) What impact will this have on the CRM system? Will it cause mass delta downloads? I have already referred to notes 588701 & 765018. Any additional information or watch outs will be appreciated.
Secondly what's the best practice do a refresh in the future? Is there a SAP recomendation on how to go about with system refresh when CRM & R/3 are connected?
ARPHello ARP,
as always: It depends what to do:
a) do you have a CRM DEV System available? If possible you should get the connection working over there and then do a Landscape Copy of the R/3 DEV + CRM DEV to the Sandbox Landscape.
b) Let them copy the R/3 DEV to the R/3 Sandbox. Then use the Data Integrety Manager (Transaction SDIMA) to get the missing Customers, Transactions exchanged.
In the future they normally have to do a Landscape Copy.

Windows 8.1 will not activate on HP19-2113w after system refresh.
Everything was working fine on my PC. Then the other day it crashed and said there was a disk error and that it had to scan the whole drive to find the error. It finished scanning, but windows 8.1 would not load sucessfully. Therefore I did a system refresh thru HP recovery. After doing that windows would start up normally, but I lost my activation. When I tried to activate the response was "Key doesn't work try again later" or something like that. Kept trying, no luck. I thought it may have been an error with the system refresh, so I did the total system reset (after saving personal data). Now I am having the same problem with activation, and If I try to navigate the normal way to the activation screen, the screen disapears. I can get to activation using command prompt. but key still does not work. The key I am using I retrived from my BIOS data. Also, I ran the refresh and reset from the origional hard drive partition. I hope someone has a solution to this. Thanks is advance Bill

System Refresh: Abap+Java stack
Have a few questions about CRM refresh I'm working on. Done many refreshes over the years and the new process has me shaking my head in disbelief.
Performed a normal system refresh, by restoring online backup of production system onto mirror system. The mirror system exactly matches my production sytem (Oracle 10g, SuSE Linux 64 bit, UNICODE).
Now my system is running from Abap stack perspective, however Java components fail to load.
Now from reading the documentation (System Copy for SAP, Based on SAP Netweaver 2004s Abap+Java) it appears that I have to use sapinst and no longer use online database backups for system refreshes.
Is this the case? Has the investment my organization made into online backups now worthless?
Is there a way to take the java schema in this online copied database and bring it online after converting it to work on the mirror landscape?
Or should I throw out our system methodology and start newThank you for the reply.
Reading SAP's documentation seems to imply that I need to extract out the java schema from my production source and then re-install on my QA target to make a refresh of the java stack possible.
However, if I have a complete copy of my source system database working on the target, why is the extract necessary?
At least, I should be able to extract out the contents from the source as if it was the target, thereby eliminating any sort of production outages (we have many constraints about shutting down production from fuctional perspective).
I'll do some research around the other tools mentioned to see if they can lend a hand fixing the issue, -
Post System Refresh Activity - BDLS run
Hi,
We have finished system refresh of a QA system from Production. We need to run BDLS now to convert the original Production logical systems to QA relevant logical systems.
I am short of understanding of this process. Can anyone please help me with the concept and process?
Thanks in advance,
AbdulHi Abdul Rahim Shaik,
BDLS will convert the logical system name for your PROD to QAS.
For eg:
Your source - PRDCLNT100
Your target - QASCLNT100
If you go to SCC4 in your QAS, u will see Prod logical system name for the client.
Once you run BDLS after system copy, logical system name exist in every table for PRDCLNT 100 will change to QASCLNT100.
Refer to below link for more info:

Sender File Comm Channel Fails after system refresh
Hi,
we did a system refresh of our PI system and since then the sender file communication channels donot work with the following exception:
Error: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.
I have seen many threads in this forum related to this issue but couldn't find a proper solution.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
MLSYou may do the following:
1. Perform SLDCHECK on XI.
2. Check if XIAFUSER is not locked or its password has been changed recently.
3. Goto SLD-> Business sytems-> Integration server, check Pipeline URL. It should be

Hello,
I am new to CUA and need help in determining the pre and Post steps for CUA during the System Refresh. The System Refresh is performed on the Child System and after the Refresh my original users and Role assignments have to overwrite the users and Role Assignments of the Copying System.How do I retain my original User data ?
Are their any guidelines to this process ?
I am researching oss and forums,and so far I don't have any clear procedure.
thanks,
FarahHello Farah,
I think by system refresh you mean system copy.
From system copy perspective follwing steps need to be taken:
pre copy steps:
1. Disconnect CUA. Please go to the child system. Go to TRANSACTION BD64 and delete the ALE model view for CUA.
Subsequently go to parent system. Then to transaction SCUA. In menu bar go to Distribution model and then to Delete. Choose the radiobutton Child System and then give the logical name of the child system.
Post system copy activties:
1. in case the system copy has been performed from parent system of CUA to child system then go to child system and then goto BD64. Delete the exisitng ALE model for CUA. If parent system is not the source system of CUA you can ignore this step. Next Login to parent system. Go to SCUA then change mode and then add the logical system name of child system to it.Next go to SCUG and do user master reconcilliation.for this double click on child system and then under do transfer users wherver it is available.
Frankly these are ideal steps after system copy ahich I follow since there is not much disparity in user master data across systems in my CUA. So even if system copy happens the user master data in child system remains more or less the same.
If at all there is a minor difference I adjust it through SU01 or SU10. However in case there is a major difference then you it becomes a bit complicated. reasons being system copy wil overwrite entire stuff. Whether it is CUA or any other data. Say for example a child role exisits in child system but is not in the source system of system copy then it wont be present after system copy. if there are such issues then let us know. May be we can think
something. otherwise this approach should do the job for you.
Please award points if you found the anwers useful.

Hi All,
We are going for a system refresh from PRD to DEV in our SAP SCM-APO 7.0 , Live Cache 7.7,The SCM system runs on a DB6 platform with Windows OS, and the DEV is similar to PRD in terms of OS n DB, but am i a little bit confused because it looks like in PRD both SCM & Live Cache are in the same server but in DEV its on different server.How do it go about it,please give ur valuable suggestion from scratch
Thanks,
VivekAlex,
Those books that you 'found' are classroom textbooks; and they are generally only made available to students who are taking the underlying class.
For these classes, SAP loads data into their training systems that support the classroom curricula, prior to the start of each class.
So, the easy answer is "take the SAP class". If you take the class, SAP will provide you with a new copy of the course material, and once you are in the classroom, you are generally provided with access to their training system, which is consistent with the course material.
