What's the disadvantage of system migration?

Our team have a new server now and our leader want to reinstall R/3 instead of migration.He asks me to give some reason that reinstallation is better than migration.Can anyone give me some advice?
the system edition is different between the old server and the new one.The storage space is also changed.

hi,
-> what do you mean be "migration"?
-> what do you mean by "re-installation"?
migration = os/db migration? if this is so, than this would be the only option to make a copy of your source system! (and the only one supported by sap as well gg)
re-installing the system would overwrite all data incl. database contents...
so, if i got it right (plz answer questions above!)...better make the migration in order to preserve system data...

  • What's the disadvantages of using webserver and appserver of different type?

    If I choose webserver:iPlanet6.0 and appserver:WebLogic6.1 on one server, What's the disadvantages?
    Mayby I will use the webserver and appserver of the same company.
    I wish someone give me some advice.

    As Barney-15E says, someone with physical control, can just remove the disk, and put it in an external enclosure, and mount the file system with their computer and access all the files.
    Only encrypted data would be protected. There are data encryption facilities available on the Mac, both included, as well as 3rd party, including 3rd party whole disk encryption.
    But having a password on an account, and engaging the password when the screen saver is active, can keep casual access from happening.
    Also if you allow network access (file sharing, remote login, screen sharing), the password will keep random net users from accessing your system, when for example, you are in a coffee shop, or if someone gets onto your WiFi network, or you give a visitor to your home access to your network, or you allow a guest to use the guest account.

  • What are the disadvantages of generic delta extraction

    Hi all,
    what are the disadvantages of generic delta extraction.
    how function module generic extraction works.
    Thanks,
    Madhu.

    hi madhu,
    Pls refer ths,To learn more about Generic Extraction pls read BW350 book.
    Gereric Extraction can be done in 3 ways.
    If you go to transaction RSO2 in R/3 side, provide tech name for data source and click create.
    you will get the 3 options.
    1)From a DB Table
    2)From a DB View
    3)From Functional module/ Infoset Query
    in first option you can directly give a standard or custom build talbe name. in second option you can select the necessary fields from more than one talbe(eiter standard or custom). In third option you will create a function module or Query to extract data. When creating function modules you can use standard function modules as a template e.g. RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE.
    see weblog : /people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2005/09/29/generic-extraction-via-function-module
    If you want to enable delta for generic extractor you choose the option delta and provide necessary settings.
    Generic extraction is when your extraction is not satisfied by either BC or LIS/LO. It can be using a view / query/table/FM
    Here the changed records can be isentified by :
    1. Based on the date of creation or last change ( Delta based on 0Calday)
    2. Based on the record number ( Numeric Pointer )
    3. Based on time of change ( Timestamp)
    real time examples would be
    1. Master Record creation like customer ID creation
    2. Timesheets in SAP PS
    3. Invoive details / Sales Order Details.
    Pls check this web logs for clear Idea.

    Have a look at these threads too.
    Tables
    Transfer Structure
    The steps for creating extractor using Function Module.
    1. Create new Function group (if you have already not done so) in Se80
    2. Copy Function module "RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE" with suitable name.
    3. Change the code that populate data.
    Following table may give you the guideline for parameters.
    Parameter Description
    I_REQUNR (import) BW provides this request identifier. It is a system-generated identifier in the form REQU_XXXXXX. BW uses this same identifier in all function module calls that relate to a single load.
    I_DSOURCE (import) The name of the generic extractor
    I_MAXSIZE (import) The maximum number of records that BW expects to be in each data packet
    I_INITFLAG (import) A Boolean flag that indicates if this is the initialization (first) call to the function module
    I_READ_ONLY (import) A test flag not needed in most extraction scenarios
    I_T_SELECT (table) This table holds any selections from the BW InfoPackage. The function module should examine these selections and only return data that matches the selections.
    I_T_FIELD (table) This table holds the fields that BW requests
    E_T_DATA (table) The function module fills this table with data records. These records then return to BW as data packets. This table has the same structure as the extract structure defined in the generic DataSource.
    NO_MORE_DATA (exception) The function module raises this exception when no more data is available
    ERROR_PASSED_TO_MESS_HANDLER (exception) The function module raises this exception if an error occurred during the extraction. It alerts BW to check for error logs.
    Change following code to put the selection fields
    Select ranges
    RANGES: L_R_CARRID FOR SFLIGHT-CARRID,
    L_R_CONNID FOR SFLIGHT-CONNID.
    Change following to populate data
    OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD S_CURSOR FOR
    SELECT (S_S_IF-T_FIELDS) FROM SFLIGHT
    WHERE CARRID IN L_R_CARRID AND
    CONNID IN L_R_CONNID.
    ENDIF. "First data package ?
    Fetch records into interface table.
    named E_T_'Name of extract structure'.

  • What are the Disadvantages of LSMW.

    What are the Disadvantages of LSMW?. Why BDC come into picture, even though there is LSMW. What is the main Difference between LSMW, BDC, BAPI ?.

    hi,
    <b>What are the Disadvantages of LSMW?.</b>
    I believe the problem on LSMW is the method to be used to load the data: if there are std methods (like BI or BAPI) there' no particular problem, but if there aren't you should register it, but sometimes these regitrations are not good and so you have to create an your own program.
    So if there are std methods or it needs a simple BDC obtainable by registration I prefer to use LSMW.
    <b>What is the main Difference between LSMW, BDC, BAPI ?.</b>
    LSMW creates a project to download the data in the system, several steps have to be implemented and it needs to have only few abap knowledge to implement them (the system'll generate all programs): only a good developer can create a bdc program.
    A project can be created directly in every enviroment, bdc has to be created in development system and transport from dev to prod.
    Every user can create a LSMW project, only developer can create a BDC program.
    LSMW is me to more flexible and adaptable than BDC if some modifications have to be added after creating it.
    <b><i>BAPI</i></b>
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module
    ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access.
    Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects.
    You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository)
    which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA.
    In this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system
    in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call.
    Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types.
    These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types.
    Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs.
    Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.

    What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

    It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
    Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
    ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

  • What is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include  iOS 5 and iCloud or not

    hallo guys
    anybody can help me
    my  question is what is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include  iOS 5 and iCloud or not
    thanks in advance to answer me
    Best regards

    The warranty on an iPad, even a refurbished one, will still be valid in Egypt. It's only the iPhone that does not have an international warranty. Just make sure you don't buy a Verizon-model iPad, which cannot be serviced anywhere but in the US (and won't work with any other cell carrier either).
    Note that refurbished iPads are available only via the online Apple Store, and they accept only US credit cards and will only ship to US addresses. This may not be a problem for you, but I wanted to make sure you were aware.
    Regards.

  • I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
    Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

  • What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files?

    What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
    Thank you
    p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.   

    It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
    Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups.

  • What is the current operating system on a Mac laptop?

    I'm shopping for a Mac laptop...what is the current operating system for a mac laptop?

    Mavericks is no longer available from Apple — unless you purchase an older refurb unit from Apple that still has it installed. Yosemite 10.10.0 (now 10.10.2) superseded it. Mavericks came with my May 2014 MacBook Air, and I had no issues with Mavericks, or applications on it. I subsequently upgraded to Yosemite, because I prefer to stay current — and have had no issues with Yosemite either.

  • What are the disadvantages of secondary index

    Hi all,
    Can anybody tell me what are the disadvantages of creating secondary index?
    Also tell me what are the precautions should be taken to create a secondary index?

    Hi Vinil,
    You can search on SCN with the same subject... you will get lots of threads discussed on it...
    Still for your reference...
    secondary indices use disk space, not memory space. They are only in memory when they are used. Disk space is roughly width times number of records, can be GBs.
    Main disadvantages are:
    + indexes are updated when table is changed, i.e. the additional index makes other operations slower. You must check the importance of your application, if it is much lower than the standard usage than you can not create a secondary index.
    + Secondary indices can confuse the database optimzer, especially if you use field which appear also in other indices. DB calculates usefulness of different indices by some assumptions (check other sources for details), if two indices are similar, than the assumptions can lead to wrong decisions. Your new index can be used for other statements, even when it is not optimal there. Result your index causes problems somewhere else!
    Hope it will solve your problem..
    Thanks & Regards

  • What is the best practice to migrate files from one profile to another?

    I am increasing having to move from one created local profile machine to an active directory joined mobile account.  What is the best way to migrate the files from one profile to another?

    Some answers below:
    1. Yes, you should use snapshots (right click on t he object and select create snapshot or on the project menu, select Change Manager for a centralized snapshot management).
    2. See above.
    3. Usually you will export the (test/development) design repository to an mdl file, and import it into the other (production) design directory. Then you will deploy the code from the other design directory into the production target (runtime).
    2.1 From 9.2 on, you will have to deploy to file and then use OWB scripting (OMBPlus) to deploy the generated file outside of the deployment manager.
    2.2 Not sure what is asked in this question - can you rephrase?
    2.3 No, but the creation and use of thes will not be managed and audited by OWB (Runtime Audit Browser)
    3.(bis) The target owner.
