SLD migration from QD to PRD

[Former Member]

I have finished a SAP XI project under QA environment (QA XI and QA SAP R3), and now decide to migrate to PRD environment (PRD XI and PRD SAP R3).

The detail situation is as below. There are two SAP R3 servers, one for PRD and one for QA. And there are two XI servers as well, one for PRD and one for QA. The test is done between QA XI and QA R3 and runs well. To migrate the configuration from QA XI to PRD XI, I know how to transfer the configuration in SLD, BI repository and BI configuration, the key issue is how I can change the PRD XI to point to the PRD SAP. By the way, the business system name is QASCLNT200. I don’t want to change it otherwise I need change nearly all the configurations in BI configuration.

After some research on SAP ASN, I work out the below solution, does it work?

1. Create two groups: PRD and QA

3. Assign the current business system QASCLNT200 to QA group.

2. Create a new technical system named PRD_SAP_TS.

3. Create a new business system named PRD_SAP_BS point to the above technical system and assign to PRD group.

4. Change the transport target of QASCLNT200 to PRD/ PRD_SAP_BS.

By the way, after migration need I change the logical business system name?

Thanks in advance, any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi Jamie,

Your research is right. That is the way it is supposed to be done.

Secondly if i understand your Business System Of QAS SAP R3 is QASCLNT200.

Now Suppose your Business name for PRD SAP R3 is PRDCLNT200.

In the above case both the systems will have different logical system name.

Logical system name.. how do you think that is related to the configuration in XI??

QASCLNT200 will automatically be changed to PRDCLNT200 when the scenario is imported in PRD XI.

If you got any more questions let us know.

btw ..Didnt you have a development environment?

Regards,

Sumit

ps: do you have the business system & the logical system name same?

Hi,

I guess, you are not looking for the migration from QD to PRD , u must be looking to transport your developments from QD to PRD. )..

Try these steps to transport your development or of your scenarios to PRD.

Transport mechanism

1. Create Technical System and Business Systems for the QA system.

2. Create Transport Groups in the Business System.

3. Create Transport Targets in the Source Business SYstem.

Check the link for:

Configuring Transport Groups and Tranport Targets

Your SWCV can be exported and imported using TPZ files into the IR.

The ID also use TPZ files and as the objects are imported , the business system details will be filled up .
