Copy a of BW 7.0 Productive system from Production to Development

Hi,

For different reason production system is not in sync with development. So we´re planning to do a copy from production to development.

No worries about loosing any untransported objects since we can take care of that.

I have checked note: 886102 and 885343, but I don´t know if this is referring to this scenario.

The question finally is: Has anybody experienced succesfull experience of this kind ? Meaning: Copy a of BW 7.0 Productive system from Production to Development

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

Generally the refresh from production to quality is done to have same objects in Quality as in production.

So when you do refresh all your modeling objects get copied in quality from production here it copies or rather I would say it will overwrite structural as well as data changes. It basically creates exact copy of production system.

The source system related objects get modified by running a transaction called "BDLS" i.e. the pointers referring to production source systems will not refer to quality source systems.

After refresh is completed work of BW consultant is basically to check whether all the modeling objects are active and contains proper data. Execute import queries or existing important reports and make sure that they are running fine.

Also you can refer the below document:

Hi Miguel,

You can copy the production system and move the same objects to development system using retrofit.

In retrofit you can collect the object from Production system and move to Quality and then to development system to make the system in sync.

Hi,

What about transport issues ? I mean the development system, that is the "original" will be deleted.

Thanks !

Hi Kramer,

Great document, but I could not find any reference of overwriting development with a copy of production. What do you think ?

Hi Zurcher,
Because it is your decission, if you want to replace the system with the productive data.
In most of the cases this is the wanted behaviour ...

There will be a new 'dev'.  BC guys of course have to run BDLS to convert source system names, and fix the transport route, check RZ11 parameters etc.

So it's not easy but it can be done.

The most important part is: make sure you do not have any connection to the production source systems!!!!

On the other hand: what will be the bigger effort?  Creating transport of copies for the out-of-sync objects from PRD to DEV, or refreshing your DEV system?

If DEV is totally screwed up, a refresh might be a good idea, but what guarantee do you have that in a few years you're not in the exact same position?

yes that works fine.

Make sure you use the correct scenario: system refresh of only BI or also ECC.
And follow the guide and oss notes.
