Transaction BDLS

  • Purpose: Conversion of logical system names
  • Automation type: ABAP program
  • Procedure: Process definition: SCP_BDLS

If the conversion of logical system names fails, no new conversion can be started. The corresponding error message looks like this:

Message no. B1668
Diagnosis
While a conversion is running, you cannot start any further processes for the test run. Depending on the size of the dataset in the system, this process can last a long time.

In this case, there are old log entries in tables BDLSHDR, BDLSPOS, and BDLSLOG. These entries can be deleted by running the ABAP program RBDLSMAP_RESET. This ABAP program requires no variants.

Run ABAP program RBDLSMAP with a (temporary) variant.

These are the recommended values for the variant:

Parameter NameValue
Old Logical System Name

New Logical System Name<new name>
Client independentX
Test runX
Check existence of new names in tablesX
Number of Entries per Commit100
Tables to be Converted[CP *]

Check the spool list for errors and then rerun the ABAP program RBDLSMAP with a (temporary) variant with a blank value of the parameter Test run.

Test runs can be started in parallel, the actual conversion needs to happen sequentially.

Table truncation

SAP tables can be truncated using

  • DB vendor tools
  • JDBC
  • Control file for R3trans

Following tables have to be truncated:

  • ALCONSEG
  • ALSYSTEMS
  • DBSNP
  • DBSTATHORA
  • DBSTAIHORA
  • DBSTATIORA
  • DBSTATTORA
  • MONI
  • OSMON
  • PAHI
  • SDBAD
  • SDBAH
  • SDBAP
  • SDBAR
  • DDLOG
  • TLOCK
  • TPFHT
  • TPFET

There are more candidates for truncation:

  • CRMRFCPAR
  • CRMPRLS
  • RFCATTRIB
  • RFCCHECK
  • DBCON
  • RFCDES
  • RFCDESSECU
  • RFCDOC
  • RFCTRUST

  • RSECACTB
  • RSECTAB
  • RZLLITAB
  • INSTVERS
  • TBLSYSDEST
  • TPFET
  • TPFHT
  • TPFID

DB vendor tools / JDBC

Once the DB is copied over, the tables can be truncated using the standard DB tools provided by the database vendor. Alternatively we could use JDBC to access the database.
