Use Grid to Refresh test from production or Using Grid for Cloning

Is there a specific area of grid OEM specifically for database refreshing or cloning? We are about to do refresh of test from production and this has been brought up. We usu ally do either the copy datafiles+create control file or exp(dp)/imp(dp)
Is there an OEM click-click-click way to do this?
Thanks

Yes you can create clone of Database from Production to Test using OEM.

Prepare new test from Production

How to Clone JDEdwards Enterprise One from Production to Test. Which document to follow. Please advice as this is very urgent.
Thanks.

I see you posted in both sections in the JD Edwards World category. Again, there is a separate forum for JD Edwards Enterprise One. If you go back to Forum Home and scroll down below the JD Edwards World category, you will find the JD Edwards Enterprise One category. That would be the better place to post this question (technically there is a good amount of difference between World and Enterprise One).

Setup test from production

I want to setup a test database from production rman copy. I have an rman level 0 backup with no catalog. I looked at the duplicate rman command, but that requires to have a dblink to the prod system. I dont' have that and can't.
Given that I do I create a test database with a different db name from the production rman level 0 copy?
Please suggest.

Thanks but the doc has the following assumptions.
1. db name is same on the restored host.(But I want to have db name test and should be the copy of db prod)
How do I restore to a different name than the source db name and also without the db link connection?
Thanks for your help.

Refreshed Data from production Database

Hi,
I have a remote production database.I want to refresh my development database.
Only new inserted data should be refreshed after a certain time period not all
data.
Thanks.
Pankaj Gupta

Another strand of thought occurs:
By "development database" do you mean a database actually used by developers? If so, I think this is a misguided idea, because
(1) production volumes are usually not appropriate for development purposes (load testing ought to be a separate instance)
(2) production data is unlikely to have the necessary breadth and depth of cases necesaary to run proper unit tests.
(3) you don't say what your business is, but there are likely to be security/privacy/accountability issues with making real data available to developers.

Database restore to test from production

Hi,
I am having 500+ GB database running in AIX with ASM. creating disk backups using rman and moving to Test server.. i like to know the commands for restore and recovery from disk to ASM in test server:
Prod server : ASM on AIX single instance
rman database backup to disk (SID : PROD)
ftp to test serverTest server: ASM on AIX single instance
clean up exiting database (SID : TEST)
rman restore and recover command from disk The rman command i am using for backup is :
run
allocate channel backup_disk1 type disk;
allocate channel backup_disk2 type disk;
allocate channel backup_disk3 type disk;
sql "ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT";
backup
format='<path>/Sml_full_bck_%Y%M%D_%d_%s_%p.dbf'
database
plus archivelog
filesperset=1;
backup
format='<path>/Tp_cntl_%Y%M%D_%d_%s_%p.ctl'
current controlfile;
#sql "alter system switch logfile";
release channel backup_disk1;
release channel backup_disk2;
release channel backup_disk3;
What would be ideal command for restore....

we have some issues with network....need to ftp manually after taking backup..i am looking around for the restore command like
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
restore database from '/<path>' to '+DATA';
recover database;
release channel t1;
just want some clarifications on syntax especially from disk backup restore to ASM disk groups and recover from there..

How to Refresh UAT Primary/standby from Production primary/standby

Hi ,
We have the following setup :
Primary/standby - Production
Primary/Standby - UAT
I need to know the process on how to refresh the UAT primary/standby .
I'm thinking on the following lines :
1] If we have the export dump of production , can we go ahead and drop the schemas to be refreshed on both UAT Primary and UAT Standby UAT then perform the schema import on Primary UAT .
2] In case if I have to do a full refresh of UAT , do I need to rebuild the UAT environment from the proudction backups Ie,
(i) Drop both the UAT primary and UAT standby database .
(ii) using the produciton backup built the UAT Primary . Take the UAT primary backup and build the UAT standby .
Appricaite if any one can provide some best practices to refresh UAT from Production.

That setup seems to be rare. We assume that the Standby Database is used for testing and have a feature for that called Snapshot Standby.
But in your scenario, you need to develop your own techniques for "refreshment of the UAT Primary".
An easy way (if your Primary is not too large): Throw away your UAT env each time the "Production Primary" changes and RMAN clone it to "UAT Primary" then.
Then RMAN duplicate "UAT Standby" again. Could be relatively easily scripted.
But again: Why not just create an ordinary Standby on your UAT hardware and use it for testing with Snapshot Standby feature? Much easier to maintain.
Kind regards

Best wasy to move OC4J from Production to Test MidTier

I've read the documents but I am still lost on the best way to move a OC4J instance to another MidTier
I have 3 separate OC4J instances that are deployed for 3 separate divisions that contain different apps.
What is the easiest way to move them to a different MidTier in a different environment. (in my case same OS,portal 10.1.2 just slightly different layout)
I have worked though the create a test from production and have my test up and running. I just need to deploy the production apps to the test environment. Both have separate MidTiers, Infrastures and database.
I know I can manually recreate OC$J instance names and then manually recreate the apps from the .ear files but is there a easier faster way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
It's not a simple move, it's an upgrade...
So perhaps transportable tablespace can help you (export from 10gR1 and import into 10gR2 should be work).
Read the following doc for more info and sample :
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10825/dp_export.htm#i1006840
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10739/tspaces.htm#sthref1231
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_import.htm#BEHFFDCD
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1267
Or export your db in dump file, on the new server, precreate your db as well, and import like for an upgrade :

No authorization to purchase from product category X

Hello,
when I click on shop and select the product (relicated from BE), while adding this item to SC got the error 'No authorization to purchase from product category xxx', but for the same material and product category I can create a free form SC or PO (through process purchase order) or a contract. I have assigned the rite Product categories to user and PGRP. pls let me know if you have seem this message before?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please assign the product category in the extended tab in transaction PPOMA_BBP for the user.
In the transaction PFCG, for the role of Startegic purchaser,under the Personalization tab,set the attribute BBP_WFL_SECURITY to '4'.Also,check the authorisation data for the Strategic purchaser role.
You can check by giving SAP_ALL access temporarily.

Hi,
You can do one correction here :
Instead of taking full export backup , take export of only those schemas which you want to refresh.
You can use datapump to make it faster.

Database refresh from production to test -how to clean existing test env

All,
My environment is
Both Production and Test databases are in two node RAC environment
Oracle version - 10.2.0.4.0
OS - RHEL5
Production database size 80GB
We need to refresh the test environment from production database. Complete objects, data etc should be refreshed.
We have a datapump export from production environment. With this export dump from production environment, I need to import into test environment.
So far, I have imported with this kind of dump to the fresh database only.
Now, we have already objects, data sitting in the test environment. How to clean the existing test environment and refresh the production datapump export dump.
I thought of dropping all the tablespaces in test (other than system,sysaux, undo and temp). But not able to drop few tablespaces, it is telling that index is available in other tablespaces, dependency errors etc.
Which is the best method to clean the existing test database. Management is not interested in dropping the test database and recreating it.

I understand that you are Newbie , let give me simple steps.
Follow the steps on testing envi.
1. Drop only Application users that you want to refresh from Prod(Do NOT drop users system,sysaux.. or tablespaces)
2. Create the users that you dropped.
3. using import or import data pump import the data.
In case you want to import user"A" data to "B" use REMAP_SCHEMA option.
See the below link for data pump export/import with examples.

Need to refresh Test environment from Production

Hi All,
I need to refresh our Test environment from Production.
Can anyone help me with the list of special tools from different vendors to do it?
Any kind of help is appreciated.

Hi Manoj,
Thanks for your response. I am aware of the system copy.
can you help me with some tools from different vendors that can be an alternative to system copy.
we have categorized the task into 3 categories:
Database restore
Client Copy
Special tools
The third one includes tools from different vendors (for example: TDMS from SAP itself).

Insert into all tables on a Database on Test Server select from all tables on a database A from production server

hi Friends ,i need a suggestion from you on how to

Transfering data from Production to QA for testing

Hi all,
We're doing support pack testing on our systems but unfortunatly the data in QA is very old so we'd like to transfer new data to test with.
After looking around it looks like we need to do Profile copy, is that all what I need? Or should we do a whole backup/restore DB from Production to QA?
Do I need any other 3rd part tool?
Do I need to do only a copy data or do I need to change some configurations? Like Source System,Central System, Instance confugration?
Thank you much!

Hi samer,
If you want to transfer data only ( without configuration ) between systems, then you need Third party.
and as far as I know, there is two options :
a) a full client copy, which system admins are reluctant to do on a weekly basis
b) a third party product like EPI-USE, Arinso Transfer tool. It works fine for master data, Payroll and Time Data but for OM data, it is a distaster. But at least, I can download pernr at will, when troubleshooting.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Anup.

System refresh from Production to Quality

Hi,
We are going for system refresh from Production to Quality. We are at SAP NetWeaver 2004s with 700 release and at 0021 level. Our data base system is DB6 with the release 09.07.0000
I understand that there is a note 886102 available for the system copy. But I would like to know how that had been practically implemented from your ready documents like
1. What would be the BI consultant role during the refresh (I mean where do we involve at). I have seen many links related to this but nothing answer my question, so please don't give me links available.
2. How to identify tables that need to be copied and restored to retain the correct source systems for data/info sources.
3. What should be the BI consultant task before refresh?
4. What should be the BI consultant task post refresh?
5. What are issues faced post refresh in quality system.
I request, the consultant who had worked on these refresh can provide me correct solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Our prerefresh activities included
Inform security team to do no user or authorisation changes for quality during the refresh.
Set message in development to not release any transports anymore and set message in quality to inform users in quality not to manually import transports into quality and also not approve transports for production. This ensures no transports get moved to quality and production.
Switch off cyclic import all job (like TMS_0000000038TMS_TP_IMPORT) and the cyclic RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS job
Prepare list of transports for re-import to quality after refresh and give this to BASIS.
Post refresh activities included
Tcodes SM37, SM35 and SP01. Check that BASIS had set all released jobs to status "Susp/Released"
"All jobs are in 'Susp/Released' state. Set them all to 'Scheduled ' as follows:
- Run report BTCTRNS2 to change all to 'Released'.
- Immediately use SM37 to change all to 'Scheduled' "
IF ANY ARE NEEDED. Remember to change Exec Target in any job you need to release.
"Schedule RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS to run at x:29 and x:59 - so every 30 minutes.
Please schedule with DDIC as step user (and not your own user-id)."
Check the STMS_QA and import queues to be sure that the tranports are correct- no extra ones during refresh???
Once happy with the above request that Basis schedule the auto import to run every 30 minutes
First ensure that BDLS has finished and system is ready for use.
Post refresh issues faced in production
Many reinit issues
ACR issues.
Master data issues.

Transfer content of BO XI 3.1 from production to test

Hi all!
I have separate production system BO XI R3.1 FP 1.3 and a test system BO XI R3.1 FP 1.7.
After a crash I tried to use the import wizard to move the content of production to test. When I create a biar file with the Import Wizard under 1.3, this file is not recogized within Import Wizard 1.7.
Is there another way to copy all items within the BO XI server?
I tried with the Live Cycle Manager - but failed, as not all objects can be choosen for transfer.
Can I use the repository database from production and copy it to test? How can I change then the CMS server settings?
ciao Hakan

So here the solution:
1. Open CCM
2. Stop Server Intelligence Agent (SIA)
3. Open Properties -> Configuration -> Specify
4. Copy from existing Datasource (Prod) to new Datasource (will be overwritten/Test)
5. Check change Clustername to define the new clustername
6. close
7. Open CCM
8. Add new Server Intelligence Agent (last option - don't recreate)
9. Provide "Name and Port" : SIA2 port: 6410 -> on second register port: 6400
10. Define Datasource (Test) - be aware of your production environment had auditing enabled you need the specify also an audtition database in Test too.
11. Start the new entry within CCM for SIA2
12. If everthing was okay, delete the existing node within CMC Website
13. in CCM delete the obsolete entry for SIA - if not possible you need to hack the registry entries for services under Windows /currentcontrolset .. service is listed as BO120SIASIA
I have my test still running, but if anything changes I will post them here.
