BPC NW 10 - development server and production server

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My background is from BPC for MS. So i have a litte knowledge about BPC NW.

1. Can anyone explain to me about the strategy for first migrating from development sever to production server ? can i just use UJBR and restore the backup in production server ?

2. If the production is running and there is another update from development server, how should i do for update it in production server ?

- IF there is a new input template ?

- IF there is a new dimension ?

- IF there is a new Model ?

- IF there is a new script, business rule , etc...

Thanks before,

Suprapto

Hi Suprapto

BPC NW makes use of the SAP Netweaver transport framework, Before you can transport, you must first configure the SAP NetWeaver transport framework.SAP NetWeaver includes the Change and Transport System (CTS), which is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP systems in your system landscape.

For more information, see the SAP NetWeaver Technical Operations Manual. Transports allow you to move an environment across a landscape. For example, you can transport an environment from a development system to a test system and then to a production system.

Two modes of transport are supported:

Normal mode – For modifying and creating objects. In this mode, if a transported object exists in the target system, it is modified with the changes from the source system. If it does not exist, it is created.

Deletion mode – For deleting objects. In this mode, you explicitly specify the objects to delete.

All aspects of an environment are transported except transaction data.

You can transport the changes associated with an environment without having to transport the entire environment. You can transport one or more models at a time, and select individual components of a model, for example, dimensions, members, logic script files, work status, reports, and so on). You can transport the deletion of models, dimensions, Data Manager packages (deletion includes renaming, moving and deleting a package), Data Manager package groups (deletion includes renaming and deleting a package group) and Data Manager package links.

You can also collect NetWeaver objects into a transport request, such as NetWeaver process chains. To move process chains into your production environment, use the SAP NetWeaver transport process for process chains.

You use transaction UJBPCTR to create a transport request, so that you can transport to the relevant environment.

Please see the below SAP note regarding more information regarding transports.

Hope this helps

Hi Suprapto,

The first time, you can take the backup and restore it in the PROD system.

Any subsequent modifications can be handled through transports. However, for lot of objects, you can do a copy and paste. For example, templates, dimension sheet, script logics, etc can be directly copied to the target. The other objects should be transported.

Hope this helps.
