R/3, APO, BW Quality Assurance Refresh order

[Former Member]

All,

We are determining the best and recommended way to refresh these QA systems that are integrated in our landscape.

-R/3

-APO

-BW

Is there any recommended order/sequence in which they will have to be refreshed to maintain integrity? Can we refresh only one system and not others- r/3 only and not APO or BW? What are the issues?

I am looking for best practice that is followed across everywhere.

System versions: R/3 4.6, APO 4.0, BW 3.0

Need your input.

Thanks

Hi,

First of all you will do the R3 susyems, after that you can do any ssytems in your landscapes.

Do the following scenario for better results.

1. Do the system refresh for R/3 system

2. Do the system refresh for BW system

3. Do the system refresh for APO system.

After this you can do the post steps for system refresh without any interuption.

In my point of view

We shall take the point in time image of all systems and then refresh.

The Livecache should be in sync with R3 side.If you have mismatch livecache and APO DB and R3 ,you may have some problem after refresh.

My advise

R3 and APO shall be in sysc.That is possible if you have stopped the livecache , APO DB and R3 at the same time and taken the backup.That backup you should use for the system refresh.

Hope it helps.

Thanks
