Version management in SAP ERP

Hello,

We're undergoing a landscape upgrade to SAP NW 7.5 EHP 8
As part of the upgrade process, the test environment was copied over to the dev environment via system copy. Thus, all the version management data was overwritten.

My question is this - I know that a part of the version management data is stored in table VRS_DISP and VRSD. Do You have any idea on a way to restore this data from a backup. Either a table transport or another method?

This is why, it is normally not recommended to overwite DEV systems. I know lot of projects theese days (because of S/4 upgrades) has this in their scope. But you will loose info!

I know some Companies have build some tools and also there have been a lot of "tricks" during the years. 

And note 130906 is a good starting point - but you need to export before overwriting. So if copy already is done, you are basically "to late".

Yeah, which is why we had made a complete copy of the dev environment to a new instance. So, data is not lost, it's just not where it's supposed to be.

Okay good. If you are the basis team, go for instructions in the note. If not ask the team to do 🙂

Or you could reconsider if you really need a Refresh of DEV?

Found this SAP note, but it feels awfully sketchy:

Aside from that, we did SPDD and SPAU adjustments in the upgraded system, so around 30k objects differ between the backup and the dev system.

Any other ideas?
