SAP BPC 10 Shell transport

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I want to import my Planning Shell from DEV system to PROD with the same technical IDs of BW objects.

I tried to restore the shell using UJBR but failed with the error :

Restoring environment PLANNINGSHELL1 with original technical name not possible.

Should I use a BW transport ?

Thanks

Thank you JP and Andy for your replies.

I did the BW transport, I generated the order but I got this error in PROD system :

I checked in SPRO => Planning and consolidation => Global parameters : (in both systems DEV and PROD) and I have these values :

RFCDESTINATION :  'BPC'

SYSADMIN : '_SYSTEM'

How can I solve this issue ?

Thank you

Hi Maha,

Looks like for transport the client is not maintained in RFC Destination. Please take help of Basis person to solve this error. ask him to look for all the transport related settings needed.

Hi JP,

I had to maintain the RFC destination (BW After import) using RSTPRFC to solve the first problem.

Now the transport is working but not completely. I have transported only some dimensions and one model. I don't understand why. And the following errors are generated :

Details :

I saw in some documents that I have to use XML transport but I don't know how since when I use XML, I can't check the objects to transport.

Thanks

Maha,

The dimension ARTICLE is not properly processed. Please process it again..

How are you collecting the dimensions and particular model to transport?? Is it your first time transport or have you transported the environment previously and now only transporting the changes of dimensions again??

Please note while transporting any object you have to include the depending objects as well in the transport request. If dimension, then depending model and environment.

Hi,

if you move to a new server environment, BW system must be available for modification. The transaction SE03 (administration -> setsystem change option).

Hi Tomasz,

Thank you for your reply

I checked and BW system is available for modification.

Hi Maha,

firstly, you need to delete the planningshell in PROD before you restore.

secondly, always use SAP transports to move between DEV-QA-PROD, don't use backup and restore as a transport tool.

Maha, what is it that you want to achieve?? Why to use UJBR for importing Environment from Dev to Prod? Have you migrated from one system to another, which is why you are using UJBR Restore functionality?

Normally to import our environment from DEV to QA to PRD we BW Transport mechanism only! Its the standard and best pratice! Please refer below document for detailed understanding of transport and retention of technical ID's
