Customizing
Update/upgrade of databases
If you want to skip the backgrounds and prefer a direct step-by-step guide, you can jump directly into the last section. Preparation For this workaround, you need access to both the source system and the BW system. In addition, they shall have the possibility to access the SE37 and execute functional modules there. Especially in production systems this is a very critical justification. So assume that you may need a Firefighter user for this action. Working in the BW system Now that the preparations have been completed, you have to call a FuBa on the BW system and on the source system, which solves the connection on the respective page. Beginning on the BW system, go into the transaction SE37 and call the function block "RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE": RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE Enter the required values here. The following table helps you fill in: Field Description I_LOGSYS The logical name of the source system. The name of the source system, as found in RSA1, will be entered here. In addition, this name can also be found in the DB table TBDLT. I_FORCE_DELETE Boolean, X = Delete despite error messages I_NO_TRANSPORT Boolean, X = This change should not be transported to subsequent systems I_NO_AUTHORITY Boolean, X = Ignore Permission Checks Work in the source system In the source system, go to transaction SE37 and call the function block "RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT" : The descriptions of the fields are as follows. These can be found in the RSBASIDOC source system connection table Field Description I_BIW_LOGSYS The logical name of the BW system. In the RSBASIDOC table, find the correct value in the column "RLOGSYS". I_OLTP_LOGSYS The logical name of the source system. The column ‘SLOGSYS’ in the table RSBASIDOC. I_FORCE_DELETE The logical name of the BW system. In the RSBASIDOC table, find the correct value in the column "RLOGSYS". Completion In the end, you have to call the respective function block in the BW and source system, fill in the parameters and execute the function block.
Avantra recently became available in the Google Cloud Marketplace. It is worth mentioning here that we have fully containerized the deployment of Avantra here, so each component runs in a separate container. For the database, we use Cloud SQL.
STMS Transport Management System
There are the following reasons that may lead to the termination of this step: TP_INTERFACE_FAILURE: Unable to call tp interface. TP_FAILURE: The tp programme could not be run. For more information, see the SLOG or ALOG log file. CANNOT_IMPORT_DDIC: Unable to import ABAP Dictionary. See the Dictionary Import Log for the cause of the error. AUTO_MOD_SPDD This step checks whether modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects can be adjusted automatically. RUN_SPDD_? This step prompts you to customise your modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects by calling the transaction SPDD.
There is an RFC error. CANNOT_ADD_PATCH_TO_BUFFER: A support package could not be included in the transport buffer. For more information, see the log file in the /usr/sap/trans/log (UNIX) directory. CANNOT_MODIFY_BUFFER: An attempt was made to modify the transport buffer without success. TEST_IMPORT This step checks whether there are still objects in unshared tasks that are overwritten during the commit. The log of the test import shows the cause of the error. For more information, see Note 42379. IMPORT_OBJECT_LIST In this step, the object lists for the support packages in the queue are fed into the system.
With "Shortcut for SAP Systems" a tool is available that greatly facilitates some tasks in the SAP basis.
When you log in to another client or without the appropriate user profile, you can only use the display functions.
On www.sap-corner.de you will also find useful information about SAP basis.
This is partly because the solutions are already known in advance and the necessary knowledge exists or is already planned.
