You may have to change the name of a logical system.

You can use transaction BDLS or BDLSS to convert the names of logical systems in application tables.

Note:

  • You MUST NOT convert logical system names in a production system.
  • The conversion of logical system names may result in database inconsistencies and should only be carried out in exceptional cases, and then only after the database has been saved.
  • Change the logical system name manually in the relevant tables.
  • IDocs not yet processed which contain the names of logical systems must be processed before you can begin the conversion.
  • Whilst the conversion program is running, you must not carry out any other activities in the system.
  • The names must be converted in all the partner systems. They are converted in the current client, that is, either for all table entries, or only for client-specific table entries, depending on your settings.

Depending on the application, you may have to manually reprocess cross-client tables.

Activities

  1. In the Old Logical System Name field, enter the name of the logical system to be converted. Use the input help (F4) to display all the logical system names that have been defined in the system.

    In the New Logical System Name field, enter a new name for the logical system. This name must not already be used in the system.
    Before you carry out this step, check which tables contain the
    logical system name:
    • Select the Test Run field, then choose the execute symbol. A list of relevant table entries will be displayed.
    • Navigate back and deactivate the Test Run field.
  2. Start the conversion by selecting the execute symbol.
  3. Navigate back when the conversion is complete.

Note

  • When you are copying application data for a client copy, the logical system names are automatically converted in the target client, provided that logical system names have been defined in both clients. Cross-client table entries are not converted. If you are only copying Customizing data, no conversion takes place.
  • To ensure your ALE business processes continue to function after the client copy, you have to modify the distribution environment in the new system as follows:
    • Maintain distribution model
    • Make communication settings (RFC destination, port definition and partner profile). These were deactivated when the conversion was carried out.
