XI testing for two SAP R/3 systems with same system id/logical system

Hi
We are currently in the process of upgrading our R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and plan to maintain dual landscape for DEV & QA (4.7 & ECC 6.0) for a period  for testing and maintaining existing applications for fixes etc. The second DEV & QA (upgraded to ECC 6.0) are copy of respective systems and these systems are created automatically under technical systems in SLD by auto update (RZ70).
The question is, can we use the same XI system for testing inbound/outbound interfaces for both the systems i.e 4.7 & ECC 6.0 at the same time.  I am aware of the fact that XI Technical/Business sytems dependent on unique logical systems, so we cannot create new business system for the upgraded DEV-II ECC 6.0 system. 
For your information, we have two slds (one for XID/XIQ and second one for XIP).
What are the options without disturbing & maintaining the current XI system set up?
1) Can we change current Business systems e.g DEV010 to use new technical system i.e DEV-II ECC 6.0 for testing for a period and switch it back to DEV-I 4.7 technical system?
2) or change logitical system name of DEV-II ECC 6.0 and create new business sytem in SLD without interfering the existing setup and modify/create interfaces to use this new business system?
3) Do we need to refresh cache from time to time in XI ?
4) Any other implications
We will be upgrading XI to PI 7.1 after ECC 6. 0 Upgrade.
Any views on this would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Chandu

Hi
Technical System was created in the SLD automatically after RZ70 configuration in the new DEV-II system. We then modified Business System to use the new Technical system and carried out following steps:
1)     Original Idoc metadata was deleted from XID
2)     The port definition  was deleted
3)     A new port definition was created for new system
4)     The metadata for each idoc type used was re-created in IDX2 , using METADATA -> CREATE
5)     This brought in all known versions of the idoc segments, including the 7.1 version.
I have already checked the guides suggested for our upgrade and we are thinking of going ahead with fresh installation and migrating the interfaces.

  • Is it possible to install two SAP system with same SID but different instance numbers on one host?

    Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
    If yes, then how?
    If no, then why?
    Thanks in advance.

    Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
    Yes, it is possible. If one is CI (PAS) and the second one is an AS (AAS). In this case there will be only one database.
    If you are talking about two separate SAP systems with separate databases (Eg: A BI and an ECC) with the same SID then the problem will be with the database (Eg: Oracle)
    The database will be installed under /oracle/SID/112_64 (ORACLE_HOME) unless one database is running on 10 G and in that case the ORACLE_HOME will be /oracle/SID/102_64
    The next issue will be with the SAP file systems like /sapmnt/SID
    The most important problem will be with the switch to the sidadm and orasid users and the conflicts there. If there is a need to stop one of the SAP systems and if you do a switch to sidadm and issue a stopsap command which system will be stopped ?
    These are few of the many problems I can think of.
    So if we are talking about two separate systems with their own databases I would rule out the possibility of having two systems with the same SID.

  • Create a Connection on TREX for 2 systems with same SID

    Hello world,
    Here is my case,
    We have a PRO systems With SID=PRO On Host= production , and a Sandbox system with also SID=PRO On Host=SANDBOX
    now i need to create a connection in TREX in parallel so when i add the 2nd one it just edits the 1st one that i have already made
    So is it possible to create 2 connection of same SID but diffrent Hosts In parallel?
    If Yes how ?
    Thanks In Advance...
    Ahmed Salam

    Hi Ahmed,
    it could be possible from the TREX perspective , however such configuration isn't supported . The reason for this is that the SAP applications create indexes using the ABAP system ID and client as a part of the index names (f.e. esh:e10002~e10002~acc_sid~sid). As it's not possible to create an index with the same name 2nd time, you will not be able to use the TREX instance with two systems with same SID.

  • Adding systems with same SID in SMSY - solution manager

    Dear All,
    We are having systems with same SID's which  belongs to different landscape created for various customers.
    Currently We are having only one solution manager.
    I consider this example for explanation.
    Customer 1 : DEV --> QAS --> PRD ( SID's)
    customer 2 :  DEV --> ACC --> PRD  ( SID's)
    I would like to add  these 6 systems in a solution manager. For Customer 1 , I have included the systems in SMSY . But when i tries to add DEV, PRD for customer 2 , it fails  since this SID's are already present.
    Is there any other way to include by giving the different SID's DE2 but with correct IP and host Or we need to have one more solution manager ? Please anyone suggest me on this
    Thanks
    Raj

    Dear Juan ,
       We can add systems with same SID in smsy. I have attached the way in which i have done. This may help others. Thank you all for your suggestion
    Only use more than three characters if your landscape contains multiple systems with the same system ID (if you have a mirrored backup system that has the same ID as the original system, for example).
    If multiple systems in your landscape have the same system ID, choose as system name the system ID with a suffix of up to 5 characters (a sequential number, for example) to create a unique system name.
    The system accepts a system name of more than 3 characters if you choose Enter to confirm.
    Thanks

  • Connection test for connectors(SAP R3 system) fail

    Hi,
    I got an EP system and connected to one existing R/3 system.For the same i have defined it in system landscape of EP.System administration ---> system configuration ---> system landscape.In property editor i have deined all the min required properties.
    Application Host       172.16.3.68     
    Gateway Host            172.16.3.68
    Gateway Service        sapgw00

    The system intially works fine.But when
    1)There are more users it gives connection error.
    2)If there are not much users then also After some time it automatically shows connection error.
    Then when I do Connection Test for Connectors,it shows "X" failed.
    What I usally try to do,I restart the SQL server.
    But this method does not work.I have to restart the EP.Then again the system works fine.
    I think there are something wrong input in the property value of SAP R3 object setting.
    Hey folks can u please help me in sorting out this problem?Why such connection error happens again and again?

    Hi Rajeev,
    Thanks for your answer.Actaully I have miss interpreted the problem.Sorry Problem is not with in the SAP R3.
    Connection problem is like this::
    I have defined a system EPSQL(system alias for MS SQL sever DB)  for my EP instance
    To connect to database.
    The connection tests to the alias is ok.
    But as more and more users try connecting to the db the connection test fails.
    Restarting the SQL server doesn’t help.
    I have to restart the EP instance to get over the problem
    I think there are something wrong input in the property value of object setting.or,EP maintains some timeout or max user info...
    Do u have any solution?

  • Any Control or Solution for Two Payment Draft Knock off to same invoice?

    Hi,
    Q1) Would like to ask is it any control or solution proposed to prevent 2 outgoing payment draft knock off to same invoice?
    Notes:
    This is important because someone had choosed same invoice no 1 to knock off and save as payment draft.The problem will happen when 2nd outgoing payment draft with same invoice add to e system. E system will consider the second payment as payment on account(advance payment).

    Hi,
    the sbo_sp_transactionnotification is somethink like triger in tables. It`s called when you add, update or delete data to db and it`s on you, which condition you wrote there. In the sp you will have for your case as input parameters identification of payment draft, so you need to prepare sql query which based on payment draft will make control, if exists some invoice, for which is more than one payment drafts. If yes, set @error = 1 and @error_message to some explanation (will be shown in status bar of sbo).
    I dont know how you create the payment draft, so I will write some example for testing, which control if in cretaed or updated delivery from vendor is filled vendors no of delivery.
    if @object_type = '20'  and (@transaction_type= 'A' or @transaction_type= 'U')
    begin
         if 1 = (select count(docentry) from opdn with(nolock) where docentry =@list_of_cols_val_tab_del and (numatcard is null or len(numatcard) = 0) )
         begin
              select @error =1
              select @error_message = 'The vendors no isn`t filled
         end
    end
    This sp will be inserted into body of sbo_sp_transactionnotificitaion procedure in your sql.
    Some explanation:
    @object_type = '20'  - vendors delivery
    (@transaction_type= 'A' or @transaction_type= 'U') - A - add, U - update - Im testing it for insert and update existing
    @list_of_cols_val_tab_del - docentry of delivery - input parameters
    if 1 = (select count(docentry) from opdn with(nolock) where docentry =@list_of_cols_val_tab_del and (numatcard is null or len(numatcard) = 0) ) - testing if vendors no is filled
    select @error =1
    select @error_message - throwing error

  • Using same Wildcard certificate on multiple SAP systems with same domain name.

    Hello All,
    Need urgent help.
    I have a WILDCARD SSL certificate in pfx format. I also have individual root certificate , primary certificate in text form.
    The certificate mentioned above is already active in one of our portal.
    We want the same certificate on ECC Production.
    What are the steps to import this certificate in STRUST?
    I believe no certificate response needs to be imported.
    I have a certificate response provided by Verisign. But STRUST says- cannot import certificate response'
    Please help.

    Hi,
    This is what i did for installing wildcard certificates:
    On the OS of the sap server, log in with the sapadm account.
    Open a command prompt:
    make a backup of your sec directory in drive:\usr\sap\<SID>DVEBMGS00\  (just to be sure)
    cd to drive:\usr\sap\<SID>DVEBMGS00\exe
    >sapgenpse.exe import_p12 =p SAPSSLS.PSE location\to\the\certfile.pfx
    It will ask you for the pin, and to overwrite the file, answer yes.
    Now copy the new SAPSSLS.PSE to a desktop that has sapgui
    Login with the sapgui and run transaction strust
    Select import from the PSE menu and open the SAPSSLS.PSE
    Then again goto PSE menu  and select Save As
    I saved it twice, once in System PSE  and then again in SSL Server
    For me SSL is now working without problems on a couple of servers.
    -small update-
    You can check internal servers using the certificate utility from digicert https://www.digicert.com/util/
    It has the option to specify port numbers, usefull for internal web services.

  • SID Problem : could not register two ABAP systems with same SID

    Dear Expert:
    We have to register two ABAP systems on different host to SLD, and these two systems have same SID.
    We use rz70 to do this,  but we found the lastest registration will overwrite the previous registration,
    that
    means we could register them both in the same SLD. (we checked this in Technical system area).
    How could we do this?  It makes us crazy........
    Thanks very much
    Ray

    Dear Stefan,
    Thanks so much for your anwser.
    But the dilemma is in one SLD we achieved this, but it is only for one case and we could
    not apply this for other systems.
    This is the snapshot in our SLD for techical system:
    Name                                        Host                             Version                                     Last Update
    D01   on eisdq01                     eisdq01                         700                                           2010/12/06 12:45
    D01   on eisdv01                     eisdv01                         640                                           2010/12/06  11:40
    We don't know if this is the illusion that SLD could do this?  But for other systems, e.g two Q systems
    the lastest registration will overwrite the previsou one.
    Thanks very much.
    Welcome suggestions from very guru.

  • Installing Adobe Reader under Windows 8.1 for its language really to be set "same as the operating system"

         How can I install Adobe Reader 11.0.10 in both German and English in order to choose the language as per the Windows 8.1 language?  I already have Reader 11.0.10 installed with the language set to "same as the operating system", but only English is chosen.  How can I add French or another language to Adobe Reader later (if I in the future decide to add to Windows 8.1 support for more than German and English)?  Can I avoid deinstalling my current Reader software?  Can I keep Reader at 11.0.10 or must I install a lower level in order to obtain support for both German and English?

    Yes, you need to uninstall the single-language Reader version before installing the MUI version.
    Also, the MUI installer is 11.0.0, so you will need to update it to the current version.
    If you download the updates manually (from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows), make sure you download the updates for MUI.

  • Adding system with same name as existing in transport routes

    Hello,
    I have following tms scenario, (DD1 is tms domain):
    DD1->DQ1->DP1
    I need to include copy of DP1 system in the transport routes to have situation like this :
    DD1->DQ1->DP1
                    |->DP1 (copy)
    My question is: Is it possible for two systems with the same name to exist in tms, or if it is not possible how to resolve this ?
    Thank You and best regards!

    You should have changed the SID during the system copy... SID stands for System ID... you can't have two systems with the same SID in the TMS

  • CProjects - Partition for two or more groups on the same system

    Hi,
    Our business requirement for cProjects implementation is such that we have two groups (two companies infact) under an umbrella brand. We have already impemeneted cProjects for one of them. It's time now to have this implemented for the other group.
    How can we ascertain that there's a partition in the system by which one group is completely independent of the other? One group should not see the projects/data of the other group and vice versa. Authorizations to projects helps but in a system, a user can fetch (in project search) the names of all projects in the system (irrespective of whether one has authorization). How can we take care of this?
    Summary:
    We are looking for the ssytem where one group of cProjects users works in the system as if it were the only group working. We intend to ensure the same for the second group as well.
    Please suggest.
    Regards...

    Hi Zhenbo,
    You get points for the "very helpful answer". Thanks.
    I have not been able to make a complete breakthrough though. Please see if you can help.
    There are three steps under "Structural Authorization"
    1. Create Authorization Profile: I see this defined in my system (comes from HR)
    2. Save user in SAP Memory (IMG has enough documentation on this.
    3. Assign Autorization profile to users: Here, I assigned one of the "Auth. Profiles" to the user (myself). At this, I see that the system (cProjects front end) returns an empty list.
    This means that the system expects the Business Partners, pertainig to that "Auth. Profile" (which I set in step 3 above). And because it does not find any, it returns an empty list.
    What I am not looking for is:
    How to bring in the Business Partners (we are using the HR Master Employees) under this "Auth. Profile" such that the system picks them when we do a resource search at cProjects front end?
    So... what I am looking for is: relation between this "Auth. Profile" assigned to the user and the Business Partners corrresponding to this "Auth. Profile".
    Please see if you can help.

  • Two sap enterprise portal in the same server

    Hi,
    We have installed a SAP Enterprise Portal on a linux server, all ok!!. but now we want to install another SAP Portal in the same server with the same ehp and same sp, but diferent url, is it possible? and we have something in mind when we began to install it..
    e.g. diferents ports or diferents database SID to avoid errors.
    thankssss

    Hi Carlos,
    SAP Software in general is flexible regarding this requirement.
    A SAP ID identifies the system, and the Instance ID is related to the Portnumbers that are used...
    So lets say you have an:
    - host called "linuxhost1" and
       - you installed a SAP system "AB1" and
          - the CI is 00 and SCS is 01
    then you can install multiple additional installations for example
    - host called "linuxhost1" and
       - you installed a SAP system "AB2" and
          - the CI is 02 and SCS is 03
    etc etc..
    As long as your host has enough resources you can fill it up...
    The instance numbers you chose are reflected in the portnumbers. So in my example above  the AB1 portal is called by http://linuxhost1:50000 and AB2 portal is called by http://linuxhost1:50200...
    So in other words the instance number of the CI is used in the portnumber of the java instance (5NN00).
    The above info is also spread among different SAP installation guides, and SAP help pages.
    Cheers,

  • Opening OEM for two Oracle 11gR2 Databases in the same web browser automatically log out.

    Hi to everyone,
    I have an issue regarding Oracle Enterprise Manager in 11gR2. I have two database (SWPROD, PDPROD) in a single server. When I open the OEM URL for  SWPROD it is successfully logged on but when I open the OEM URL for PDPROD and successfully logged on the other tab for SWPROD will automatically logged out. And when I switch to the other tab for PDPROD it is also automatically logged out. Both OEM URL is open in a single web browser like Mozilla Firefox. What would be the reason why both OEM URL will be logged out when I open them at the same time?
    Thank you for your incoming response.

    Well it seems the only way to clear these out of EM was to shut BOTH RAC nodes down and power them up one at a time.  Now the updates aren't shown as required and my compliance score is where it should be.
    Is this a bug ?  Seems pretty stupid to have to shut down both RAC nodes to fix this.  Powering a single RAC node off and back on did not clear this.
    Unless i'm missing something??
