Question:
Hi Gurus!
We are doing a refresh of PRD to DEV. We are using backup/restore method. We are NT shop running on Oracle 9.2.0.5, and the PRD is version 46b.
This sub-project is part of our Upgrade to mySAPERP 2004/ECC 5.0.
Now for our existing environment we have a CUA in place. I know that it is never recommended to do a refresh of the DEV box, the developer's request to have "good test data" has been approved, so DEV is going to be refreshed from PRD.
My question for the Gurus is that this will blow up our CUA in the DEV box. Is there any way, we can backup the CUA and bring it back on, when we have the refreshed DEV box up & running.
Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks,
Shibli
PS: I hope this is a question for the Security forum, but I will post it in the Basis forum too, just in case. Thank you Snowy for understanding.
Answer:
The intent of CUA it to control Workplace and one production client on yor r/3 system and the CUA is on the workplace system. If you installed your CUA on the Production system and supporting all your other systems in the landscape, you are basically hosed, once you turn your "restored" Dev on until you turn off the CUA in dev, dismantle it and go to PRD and open every user and resave after you reset the logical destination of the dev machine.

Hi John,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Well, we have CUA configured on the DEV system and not the production system. So when we refresh DEV from PRD, which is a child system and not a parent, we will be blowing away the existing CUA configuration.
My question was how do I back up the exisint CUA configuration in DEV before refreshing it from PRD and then restore the CUA configuration into the newly refreshed DEV system.
Can this be done or is it not possible at all?
Thanks,
Shibli
Answer:
You should only refresh TEST from PROD. If you refresh DEV, you will blow away much more than your CUA.

Answer:
Only if you find all the tables and put the entries in a transport and release the transport and then re-import them. A walk trough the IMG in th eCUA configuration may get you most if not all the tables.
Other than taht get ready to re-configure.
