Activities after client copy in BW source systems

Activities after client copy in BW source systems



Symptom
WARNING: THIS NOTE HAS BEEN REPLACED.  FOR MORE CURRENT AND MORE COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION, SEE NEW NOTE 886102.


After you perform a client copy on a BW source system, the partner profiles either do not exist or are incorrect. The client may have an incorrect logical system name.


Other Terms
Restoring an ALE partner for BW source systems; converting logical system names


Reason and Prerequisites

  • You carried out a client copy on a BW source system, and now you want to use this client again as the source client of one (or several) BW systems.
  • You read Note 325525.



Solution

  • If you want to rename the target client, then execute Transaction BDLS. Read Notes 369758 and 121163 for more information. Ensure that you select the (non-default) option "Conversion of client-specific tables (for example after a client copy)". You must never convert client- independent tables under any circumstances! If you cannot select this option, you are using an obsolete version of Transaction BDLS. Use the current patch for the transaction.
  • For BW as of 2.0A: Execute the "Restore" function in the context menu of the source system in the source system tree of the Administrator Workbench of the corresponding BW.
