4.3 Backup and Restore
18 June 2007
4.3 Backup and RestoreYou need to back up your system landscape regularly to ensure that you can restore and recover itin the event of failure.
The backup and restore strategy for SAP IS-M/AMC consists of two parts:
Backup and restore coverage for each component
Cross-system data dependencies and handling
The backup and restore strategy for your system landscape should not only consider SAP systemsbut should also be embedded in the overall business requirements and take account of yourcompany’s entire process flow.
The backup and restore strategy must also cover disaster recovery processes, such as the loss ofa data center due to a fire. In this situation, it is essential to ensure that backup devices are not losttogether with normal data storage (separation of storage locations).
Based on the type of application data contained in a component, we have introduced acategorization scheme for system components that can be used to analyze the backuprequirements of any system component and to easily determine an appropriate backup method forthis component. The following table contains a component list for your solution and the appropriateCategories of System Components for Backup & Restore.

For more information, seethe documentation in the SAP Help Portal at help.sap.com/nw04 SAP NetWeaver 2004s SAPLibrary SAP NetWeaver Library Administrator’s Guide SAP NetWeaver Security Guide User Administration and Authentication.
For more information on SAP IS-M/AMC user profiles, you can also see the security guide for SAPIS-M/AMC.
Install IS-M/AMC UI on User’s PC
Installation of IS-M/AMC UI on the user's PC is largely automated. However, you should alsoperform the following steps to ensure that IS-M/AMC UI can be installed:
1. A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on the user's PC to execute IS-M/AMCUI. JRE 1.4.2 from Sun is currently used. You can download and install this fromhttp://www.java.sun.com.
However, if the JRE has not been installed on the user's PC, the system attempts to install itfrom this website automatically when IS-M/AMC UI is accessed for the first time using theISM_AMC_APPLET BSP application. You should only therefore perform this installation
Solution Operation Guide for SAP IS-M/AMC
4.7 User Management
20 June 2007
manually if the automatic installation fails, for instance as a result of the security regulationsdefined by your company.
To ensure that program terminations do not occur as a result of insufficient memory beingavailable when users edit large ad content, you should define the following runtime parametersfor the Java Virtual Machine:
Xms256m (Initial size of allocated memory)
Xmx512m (Maximum size of allocated memory)
You can access the JVM runtime parameters in Windows under Start -> Settings -> ControlPanel -> Java Plug-In.
2. IS-M/AMC UI uses the SAP Java Connector (JCo) to access IS-M/AM and IS-M/AMC Server.The system currently uses SAP JC 2.1.7, which you can download and install fromwww.service.sap.com/connectors.
You must ensure that the librfc32.dll and sapjcorfc.dll files installed on theuser's PC are not older than SAP JCo 2.1.4, which you have downloaded. If you replacethese files with a newer version, you must close the SAP GUI first.
You must also ensure that these files have only been installed on the user's PC once in adirectory that can be accessed by the operating system. In Windows, these files areusually found in the "c:\windows\system32" directory. In Windows NT or 2000, these filesare usually found in the "c:\winnt\system32" directory.
Note: If you are using SAP GUI for Windows 6.20 / 700, you must also see SAP note 684106.
For more information about integration of IS-M/AMC UI in the SAP Media Customer InteractionCenter, see SAP note 1067317.
Create and Configure Users in IS-M/AM
Make the following settings in IS-M/AM:
1. Create the users as dialog users using the User Maintenance (SUO1) transaction. To assign aunique ID to the user, enter the user name <USER> as a value for theJHFRONTENDID_USER parameter ID on the Parameters tab page. This value must notcontain more than 10 characters. See note 737432 here.
2. Create an RFC destination for the user using the Display and Maintain RFC Destinations(SM59) transaction:
a. Enter the name of the user in the name of the RFC destination, for exampleAMC.<USER>.
b. Check that the RFC destination is a TCP/IP connection (connection type T).
c. Select the Registered Server Program indicator on the Technical Settings tab page andassign a program ID. You can also enter the user name here, for example AMC.<USER>.Observe upper and lower case here.
If more than one application server is used in your system, specify gateway options toensure that the RFC destination also points to the gateway to which IS-M/AMC UI issubject. These gateway options must match the gateway options that you recorded in theuser profile for the user.
If your system is a unicode system, select the unicode indicator on the Special Optionstab page.
3. Assign the RFC destination you created in step two to the technical system for IS-M/AMC UIand the front end ID that you specified for the JHFRONTENDID_USER parameter ID inCustomizing under Connection of Media Technical Systems -> Assign RFC Destination.

Create and Configure Users in IS-M/AMC Server
Make the following settings in IS-M/AMC Server:
1. Access the User Maintenance (SU01) transaction to create users as dialog users. The username does not have to be identical to the user name in IS-M/AM. However, if the user namesare identical in IS-M/AM and IS-M/AMC Server, it is easier for the agent to log on.
2. Provide the user with the authorizations that are described in the Define Authorizations IMGactivity.
3. Assign the user profile, which you defined previously in the Set Up System IMG activity, to thisuser in the Assign User Profile and Program ID IMG activity. You should also assign theprogram ID, which you previously recorded for the RFC destination in IS-M/AM, to this user.

Transport and Change Management - Enables and secures the distribution of softwarechanges from the development environment to the quality assurance and productionenvironment.
Development Request and Development Release Management – Enables customer-specific maintenance procedures and open integration with third-party products.
Template Management – Enables and secures the rollout of global templates, includinglocalizations.
Quality Management and Test Management - Reduce the time, cost, and risk associatedwith software changes.
Support Packages and SAP Notes Implementation – Provide standardized softwaredistribution and maintenance procedures.
Release and Upgrade Management – Reduces the time, cost, and risk associated withupgrades.
6.1 SAP IS-M/AMC6.1.1 Transport and Change Management
SAP NetWeaver includes the Change and Transport System (CTS), which is a tool that helps youto organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transportthe changes between the SAP Systems in your system landscape.
For more information, see the NetWeaver 2004s Technical Operations Manual.
6.1.2 Development Requests and Development ReleaseManagement
The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developmentsof existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection betweendevelopment and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process,determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface that theycan use to perform the task directly.
It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transporttargets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems.
