Workflow in Dev and QA

Hi,
We have travel expense workflow. We are callingn function module to create a trip in custom code. This triggers a workflow.
Our workflow works in Dev system but doesnt set the status of the trip properly in Quality. I did a comparision by downloding xml files both in Dev and QA. I uplodaded the one from Dev to QA also when I upload it to QA it is giving some problems with one event(Workflow termination).
Where do I check to see y it is not setting the status properly. When I go to log swi1 it looks ok but I am not sure as I am new to work flow. Please help.
SM

Check the respective method that you are executing in your Wflow to set the status of the trip. You shouls analyse the Workflow Log and find out that respective task and step whether it is executing properly.
Thanks

hello, friend.
actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive. you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions. and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
"Hi,
The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
Import sequence
It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
Incompleteness
It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
Transport workflow as a transport strategy
If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
Special transport workflow (mass transports)
You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
thanks. you have been most generous.
regards.

Sort Dumps All Over in DEV and QAS While Applying Patches - Help Pls

Applying about 80 patches on DEV and QAS over the weekend with the "Minimize Downtime" option. I got failure at the "TEST_IMPORT" phase and tried to backout and ignore the error but now I keep getting short dumps for any tcode that I use. I can't get past short dumps.
Here is a sample of short dump that I got when I try to execute SPAM and reapply just one patch. I does not load the patch, it just generates a short dump. I opened an OSS note with SAP and they refused to consider that as high priority. Since my DEV and QAS systems are down, the developers will not have any system to work on today and there will be a lot pressure on me today. Please help.
Short Dump text below
The following syntax error occurred in the program SAPLKKBL :
"The field "GFLG_NESTED_PRINT_ON" is unknown, but there is a field with"
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID===============CP" had to be
terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
What can you do?
Please eliminate the error by performing a syntax check
(or an extended program check) on the program "SAPLKKBL ".
You can also perform the syntax check from the ABAP/4 Editor.
If the problem persists, proceed as follows:
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion

Hi
Please check the following link, it may help you:
Re: Can not lanche workflow with event
Can you give me some more details like whether the patch application is complete or its hung in between? Did u tried to restart the patch application? Can you tell me what error you got while patch application in import_proper phase?

Workflow in 'Revised and Saved' status

Hi Friends,
I am trying to activate a workflow in Dev system. After I click on activate button the workflow gets into 'revised and saved' status. Business object is in active stage. This is happening since last couple of days, earlier to that I was able to activate after making the changes.
Can anybody suggest what could be the reason?
Thanks in anticipation.
Srinivas

Hi,
This usually means that an error has occurred, but sometimes the error panel at the bottom of the Workflow Builder screen is obscured.
Please have a closer look.

Org.structure differs on dev and production

Hi,
I'm developing a workflow and in one of the steps (activity step), I assign agent using organizational structure (position from HR). The problem is, that the org.structure differs on dev system and on production system. Mainly the IDs of position posts differ. How to solve this? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Tomas

Or more generally, holding WF post mapped to org.structure type (position, job, ...) with corresponding ID in org.
I don't see why you need a custom table?
The org issues aside, all that is needed is to assign your org unit to the task. Then leave the agent assignment blank in your WF. Job done.
The other option is to create a dummy rule, which you thought was to be avoided. I don't agree, it takes 5 minutes, less effort than a table, less non-standard stuff ==> less explaining to people how to maintain & easier to troubleshoot.
Edit: Forgot to answer your other question
> I'm not sure if you consider org. replication the same as transport of org. I was thinking of transport myself, just didn't know the way how to. I've found transaction RE_RHMOVE30 (also acessible from customizing), that should do that, but am not sure, if that's the right one and/or what options to select when transporting. Also, I'm not sure if this would ensure the position/job IDs are the same on both systems.
Replication would be carried out via transports. The RHMOVE* reports can also be used, or you could even set up an ALE connection between DEV and PRD. However I still would not recommend it. The development system is where you would need to create test users and/or org units. The other alternative is to have a master data client. All of these are a great deal of work which only make sense in certain types of environments - certainly not for the sake of a workflow.

Problem in BEx analyzer output in BI dev and BI Quality

Hi All
I am facing a problem in BEx analyzer output in BI Dev and BI Quality server where the query is make on BI infoset.
When i am executing the query in BI dev server then it is giving the output result but when i tried to executing the BI query in BI quality server the i got 'No available data found result'.
I have also checked the same selection input result in infoprovider for infoset and output is getting for the same.
Please suggest for regarding solution.
thanks & regards,
Gourav Sekhri

Hi,
check whether you have loaded data in to quality server if no, please load data for all the target involved in info set. If data loaded check all the target 'request for reporting available 'or not.
Also check whether data is showing in infoset or not.. if data availble there change your selection critiria accordingly.
Thanks

but make sure i am using same keyfigure.
Thanks

Check the user default settings in SU01D tcode in dev and pro.
SU01D -> enter ur user id -> goto Default tab and check the decimal notation.
I guess it is 1,234,567.89 in DEV and 1.234.567,89 in PRO.
Please make sure that this setting is same in DEV and PRO.
you can ask your basis consultant to changes the settings....

Dev and Prod Environment Sync.

Hello Experts,
I would like to ask for your kind help in the following matter: How to resynch the dev and production environments.
For some (inextricable) reason, the production and development servers are out of sync. Mainly the SLD content is in different versions. The production one is older. Oh and there is no QA environment.
Besides that the business systems were created manually in each server and have inconsistencies. No SLD information was transported between them, only the repository and some directory information. Other directory information was created in the production environment directly. And I am affraid some development took place in production server directly too.
So I have been asked to produce a plan to get all this mess into shape. So far at a macro level I have these tasks planned:
10.- Backup prod and dev servers.
20.- Load latest CIM model and CR content on both servers (and see what happens).
30.- Connect the SAP systems as SLD data sources to prod SLD.
40.- Redo configuration in prod to point to automatically created business systems (and retest).
50.- Cleanup of manually created business systems the prod environment.
60.- Config the prod SLD as data source for dev SLD.
70.- Redo configuration in dev server to make it match prod SLD.
80.- Cleanup of manually created business systems the dev environment.
90.- Create in the dev server the repository objects that were directly created in prod.
100.- Test everything for consistency.
Please help me improve the task list/order.
-Sam.

Hi Sam
You are planning a lot of activity on a production environment. Two coments:
1. When you have your dev SLD configured as you require, with CIM, PI Content & Business Systems updated etc .. perhaps you should do a level of regression testing on this environment before embarking on changing the Live env.
2. Once you are happy that the Dev env It is possible to Export and import manually the SLD content from the Dev to the Live to align both systems, refer to link:
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000315022005E.PDF
This is available through the Export Link in Administration page.

Analysis Authorization In Dev and impact of reports and roles in prod trans

Hello,
We are planning to switch to analysis authorization. We plan to make that change first in Dev and we were wondering what would be the impact on roles and reports we transport from dev (which is switched to Analysis Authorization) to production( on Old authirization) ? We wont transport new things to production till we switch to new auth in Prd.
Thanks a lot,
BP.

Hello
Even if you are transporting the roles from dev to quality and production, the analysis authorization objects will not be checked until you set "current procedure..." in RSCUSTV23.
So there is no harm in transporting the roles and auhotrization until you change the concept to analysis.

Performance problems between dev and prod

I run the same query with identical data and indexes, but one system takes a 0.01 seconds to run while the production system takes 1.0 seconds to run. TKprof for dev is:
Rows Row Source Operation
1 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BANDVALUE
3 NESTED LOOPS
1 NESTED LOOPS
41 NESTED LOOPS
41 NESTED LOOPS
1 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_PACKAGE

41 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BANDELEMENT
41 AND-EQUAL
82 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_BE2 (object id 53559)
41 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_BE1 (object id 53558)
41 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BAND
41 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN SYS_C0034599 (object id 53556)
1 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN SYS_C0032549 (object id 51335)
1 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_BV1 (object id 53557)Tkprof for Prod is :
Rows Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT MODE: ALL_ROWS
1 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_BANDVALUE' (TABLE)
52001 NESTED LOOPS
26000 NESTED LOOPS

1 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_PACKAGE' (TABLE)
1 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0018725' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
26000 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_BANDELEMENT' (TABLE)
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BE2' (INDEX)
26000 TABLE ACCESS MODE: ANALYZED (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'VAP_BAND' (TABLE)
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0030648' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0018674' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BV1' (INDEX).The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.
Any ideas?

From DEV you show the Row Source Operations for the query. The column named "Rows" signifies the actual number of rows processed with each step.
From PROD you show the Execution Plan for the query; that is, tkprof was executed with the EXPLAIN option which generates the execution plan as of the time when tkprof was run. The "Rows" column in the Explain Plan output comes from the PLAN_TABLE.CARDINALITY, which represents an estimate by the CBO for the number of rows [expected to be] processed with each step.
So, if by <quote>The row count varies greatly</quote> you meant these "Rows" columns outputs then you're are comparing actuals from a database with estimates from another. Get the Row Source Operations from both.
"Identical data and indexes":
1. data may be the same, but it is not necessarily stored physically the same way.
2. Indexes being the same means their definitions are the same; again, physically they are not necessarily identical
In other words, data in PROD (the way it is stored on disk) may have evolved as a result of discrete deletes/updates/inserts ... in DEV it could be, for example, stored more compact if you took a copy of PROD and moved into DEV. So, the number of blocks for your segments will likely be different between PROD and DEV, the clustering factor for your indexes are likely different, etc ... things which could [and do] influence the CBO. The statistics may be different.
I guess what I'm saying is ... it is quite hard, if not outright impossible, to get two identical databases/instances/load ... hence, don't expect the executions to be 100% identical, even if you have "identical data and indexes". By all means compare between DEV and PROD (make sure you compare the same thing though) and use the observed differences as an indicator for further investigation ... don't chase the goal of 100% identical behavior.
Now, by all means look at that query taking 1 second in PROD ... I have only addressed <quote>The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.</quote>

One maschine for dev and test

Hallo,
i have one maschine for dev and test. i know that it is possible to do this with 2 instances. SAP recommend to separate dev and test on separate maschines. But it is possible. have anyone experiance with that? When i don´t want 2 instances it is possible to have one instance and separate only the systems for dev and test in sld? Have I to copy the business systems, change the servers and make the configurations in integration directory?
Thanks in advance...
Frank Schmitt

Hi Frank,
one reason for having two systems
is that you won't be able to import
directory to your TEST system easily...
because both r3 (dev and test will have the same integration server - you won't be able to add them to 2 different transport groups... )
this means that you will have to create almost EVERYTHING
in the directory twice...
at least without doing some tricks...
make the life of a developer and create 2 servers
it may cost less then using developers for creating many things twice

Is ST-PI and ST-A/PI needs to be installed in DEV and Quality Systems.

Environment:
ERP and BI 6.0 / Windows / SQLServer 2005
Hi All,
Is ST-PI and ST-A/PI needs to be applied to DEV and Quality Systems of ERP and BW.
I understand that ST-PI and ST-A/PI are necessary for Production Environment.
Is it recommended to install or upgrade the same in Dev and Quality Systems of ERP and BW.
Because I believe it is always good practice to keep all systems Support Packages including ST-PI and ST-A/PI the same in the same Landscape. (But could not find any documents from SAP.)
Thanks and Best Regards,
Raghunahth L.

Hi Raghu,
you can get into the problems which I have said if you dont implement that,also many support packs do have their dependencies on ST-PI and ST-A/PI and seriously I havent heard people implementing this on prod and not dev and qa....I have worked on with many big clients but never heard this
Also if you ignore whatever I have said,still it is still recommended that you never apply anything directly on Production,It is always better if you first implement on dev and qa and see if you are facing any issues while implementing...so its always better to implement on dev and then qa
and It doesnt take too much of time,so that should not be an issue after all
Always follow SAP best Practices

How to add EP(DEV and QAS and PRD systems in solution manager)

Dear Gurus,
I want to include EP dev and qality and prodution systems in solution manager .
While installation of EP(only ASJAVA it is not having ASABAP) i selected solution manager as a Central SLD. But i deleted the systems in solution manger and recreated it again. I created all the systems and datatabae and logical components but in maintenane optimizer it is showing only production system but it is not showing development and quality systems in maintenance optimizer.
How to see developmnet and quality systems in maintenace optimizer.
Same thing for ECC also.
ECC dev and quality systems installed in the same server.
In maintenace optimizer it is showing only dev sysetm it not showing quality sysetm.
Can any body help this probelm.

I think you need to adjust your filter settings in the initial screen of MOPZ.
It's in the right top corner.

Special Characters issue in DEV and QAS

Hi,
I am uploading a file that has special characters (Japanese).
In the DEV system the special character is converted to #. Which the business wants.
In QAS system the special character is not converted and is as it is, which makes the business users difficult to find out if any speical characters are there and they don't want the special character as it is
The file consists millions of record with a possibility of four or five records with special characters
The special characters on keyboards is not an issue.
The programs in DEV and QAS system are same and the file tested is also the same but different results.
Tried in Tcode SNLS to find something but didn't know what and where to look into.
What could be the issue in this? Looks like this is Basis issue but would like to know if anyone can let me know.......
Regards
Sandeep

Hi ,
i want to check ur open dataset statement in the program which is being used here if at all in ur case.
Can you please check the relavant code page in both the D and Q systems and search with the appropriate hexa decimal values(for the special characters ) in both the systems ..
u can use code page by tcode scp ..
ex -> as u say a special char sp1 is having entry in q and code page which is being used (like 4200 )
is not having in d03 .
then if in d03 this page has no entry then it shows as # , since it is showing in q then it has an entry over there. this is my guess..
so if at all the client wants not to see this special char's , u need to remove them from this code page.. and check ..
Cant say if this can solve but u can take this as one more way of dealing with code pages and special chars....
br vijay..
