Portal linking to wrong database

[Pankaj13]

Hi,

We have created system copy of our Production GUI & Production Portal.

Now, 'copy-portal' is accesing database of our Production-GUI system. But it should the database of its own 'Copy-GUI'.

We have checked 'Copy-portal' is correctly authenticating user Id's from 'Copy-GUI' system.

Please help .....

Hi,

Please elaborate how you suspect it reads the source system's database.

Did you you use standard SAP tools (SAPInst) to do the system copy via export/import?

As you mentioned the user authentication is being done correctly, this too happens at the database level as the users are stored on the database - inferring the Portal accesses the correct database.

Hi Srikishan,

Thanks for reply.

Yes, we have used standard tool SAPINST for export/import.

We have cross verified by changing the login passwords of our 'PROD-GUI' system and 'Copy-GUI' seperately.

We found that the changed password in 'Copy-GUI' is accepted in 'Copy-Portal' also. This verified our user authentication working correctly.

But, the master data of latest BP (which is created few minutes ago in 'PROD-Portal-Live') is available in 'Copy-Portal', while the same is not visible in 'Copy-GUI'. This shows that 'Copy-Portal' is using our 'PROD-Live' database which is not for the case of 'Copy-GUI'

Hope its more clear now.

please help..

Hi,

I could think that the copied portal is still having its system aliases pointing to the source backend rather than the copied backend system. This is why its picking the updated data which is not yet available in the copied backend system. Please check your alias definition under system administration tab: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fb/93ed3d72fe4b5ae10000000a11405a/content.htm

Make sure the application host, system number etc defined for the alias are matching with the copied backend system's details.

Also check JCo destinations if any created for the Business Package, there too backend system details are to be maintained.
