Refresh STQ Qual

The document describes the steps taken to refresh an SAP system before moving it to production. Key steps included: 1) Exporting data from clients 100 and 200 for backup. 2) Checking disk space and verifying connections between quality and production systems. 3) Installing configuration files and exporting tables using R3trans commands. 4) Stopping application servers and initiating the refresh using SWPM files. 5) Importing users, RFC connections, and creating a new client after refresh was complete.

REFRESH STQ QUAL

• Objective:

 Perform a necessary refresh to ensure smooth integration of settings before


proceeding to production.

Introduction:
In the world of systems, "refresh" is like a quick makeover for smooth
operations. It's simply updating specific settings to keep things current and
working well.
during this operation, we utilized the latest version of the production system on
Thursday, December 7, 2023.

.
1) Export client (100/200)
In this step, we export clients 100 and 200 so that we can keep their records for
future use if needed.

2) Check quality system and production system

Before the refresh, double-check the quality and production systems to make sure
everything is working well and ready for the update.
We use the df -h command to present details regarding the available disk space:
We execute the same command for the production system as follows:

Here, we execute this query to reduce the data volume as follows:


3) Installation of configuration files
We commence the installation process by incorporating the essential configuration files
outlined below every file contain a "CTL" file, typically with a. ctl" extension, refers to a
control file. The control file contains configuration settings and parameters that guide the
execution of the R3trans command during data export or import processes.

Location: /refresh /
 In our case, "/refresh" is where we store our configuration files.

4) Export tables from the OS Level


We accessed the operating system to execute the R3trans command (R3trans is a
command-line utility integral to SAP systems, serving a crucial role in managing
transports across SAP landscapes. It facilitates the export and import of data and
objects between different system environments. In our case, it is used to export data
from the quality system.)

We execute this command within each respective file as illustrated below:


Example:

Following the execution of this command, we successfully exported data with the file
extension “.data”.

5) Verify RFC Connections and Logical Systems Before Initiating the


Refresh
Before starting a system refresh, it's important to double-check RFC (Remote
Function Call) connections and logical systems. This step ensures a smooth and
efficient refresh process, reducing the chances of problems or disruptions.
6) System refresh
Before initiating a system refresh, the application server (AS) must be stopped.

We used the SWPM file to execute the command and start our refresh.
Command : ./sapinst

And then we open our browser and paste the following URL address to access the GUI
To finish the refresh, you need to follow a few steps. Start by opening the "REFRESH
DATABASE CONTENT" and enter all the necessary credentials like bellow:
7) Post refresh
Firstly, eliminate all existing entries from the tables TPFET and TPFHT. Following this step,
proceed to import profiles from RZ10. This process ensures a clean slate for the targeted tables before
incorporating the desired profiles, maintaining data consistency and facilitating the seamless
integration of new configurations.
• STMS configuration after refersh:
After updating the system, it's really important to adjust the STMS settings to make
everything run smoothly in our SAP environment. We need to ensure that data transfers
between the source and target systems happen seamlessly by adapting the settings to these
changes, preserving the reliability of our SAP system. In our case, we select the version 0005
to align with these adjustments.

8) Import users and RFC


In this step, we use the same command R3trans to import RFC and also users as follows.
Here we have all users after we check number of Entries in the table USR02

We execute the same command for RFC


9) Create a new client 110:
Here, we already have our clients in our quality system, so we have decided to create a
new client, 110 (PRE-PROD), for all tests.
10) Copy client
Copying a local client is like making a twin of a specific set of data in the same SAP
playground, and we kick off this process using the SCCLN T-CODE This process,
exemplified by the creation of a new client like 110 (PRE-PROD).

Conclusion:
Objective Achieved
Successfully execute an essential system refresh to guarantee the seamless integration
of settings before advancing to the production phase.
