Need to built a TEST system for BWP and BIP

[Former Member]

Good Day,

I am seeking assistance in determining how my BWP and BIP instances for ABAP and JAVA were built.

Here is the Scenario:

Server Facts:

   Operation system: RHEL 5.5 (Tikanga)

   Oracle 10g:

    At the Linux OS level these directories can be found

    a. /usr/sap/BWP

     b. /usr/sap/BIP

    Subdirectories of BIP are SYS, SCS02, JC01, config

Application facts:

   Software Components when logged on via SAP GUI

   SAP_BASIS

   SAP_ABA

   PI_BASIS

   ST-PI

   SAP_BS_FND

   SAP_BW

   GRCPINW

   FINBASIS

   ANAXSA

   BI_CONT

   OPMFND

   SEM-BW

   ST-A/PI

Frontend Facts:

      SAP GUI 7.30

      Business Explorer - indicating a JAVA installation 

Oracle Facts:

      There are two schemas in dba_users : SAPBWP, SAPSR3DB

Other Facts:

       All installation is on same server.

       Very familiar with building systems from scratch with ABAP and performing homogeneous system copy.

Uncertain

      How is the system installed, is it a DUAL Stack and how to go about performing this. Do I install ABAP 1st, then JAVA from ./sapinst.

      and how do I restore the JAVA part....

Thanks in advance..

Hi Vinood

You have to perform System copy of both stack to create the test system.

Kindly refer the system copy guide

hi

There is a need of Test environment  in our BW system as well. Do you suggest system copy to be carried out.
If yes, would you like to detail a bit like BW production system should be used during system copy  or if any links or useful documents. That will be really be helpful along with your above comment.
many thanks and regards

hi
the requirement is as below:
In practice we always have Dev--> Qualtiy/Test--> Production
Test/Quality has not been set up. Only Dev--->Production.
So need to have a Test Environent.

[Sriram2009]

Hi

In that case you can do the Homogeneous system copy of your production system (For example SID=PRD ) to Test /QA system (For example SID=QAS)

Kindly refer the System copy guide

Thank You Sriram,
Very nice suggestion. Will follow that.
I also suppose that BASIS will have a big role to play isit not?
I am single BW Consultant working on this for which i need to know from BW Perspective the responsilbilites. That's why i asked you about this concept.

Do you have  guide documents for this purpose which may appear helpful for reference?
Many Thanks
