any document how to do java system copy ep6.0 SP (oracle/unix) to mss/window.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks & regards

A system copy tool is not yet available. There is some work going on about this and may appear later.
What you can do is backing up and do it that way. See the "Technical Operatrions Manual"

Java System Copy with SPNego configured

Hi,
I just attempted a java system copy of our EP7, SP12 Portal to new hardware. The copy itself was successful. I am not able to login to the Portal.
I ran the setspn -a HTTP/new_hardware same_user command to set the SPN with the ADS. Still I am unable to login. I have attempted to set the fall back login authentication method with the below SPNego settings and still I am not able to login.
EvaluateTicketLoginModule ( SUFFICIENT )
SPNegoLoginModule ( OPTIONAL )
CreateTicketLoginModule ( SUFFICIENT )
BasicPasswordLoginModule ( REQUISITE )
CreateTicketLoginModule ( OPTIONAL )
Could there be a step with SPNego the I may be missing with a system copy?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rick

Rick,
This is the central note for SPNEgo related issues : 968191
SAP AS Java can not start after running SPNego wizard : Check this note as well. : 1082560.
Note 982044 - SPNego succeeds but overall logon fails.
Let me know what error message you get when try to access the Portal.Get the information from the log files.

System copy with Export/Import Distribyted system UNIX database, Windows CI

HI
we have a distributed system witch I want to make a copy of
Oracle Database on HP-UX
CI + SCS on Windows
Dual stack system ABAP/Java
1) I have made an system copy with data base copy tools, and that works fine.
2) I have made a system copy export/import of a "central system"
If I try to make an export/import system copy on a distributed system it wont work.
( this work fine in a central system) I dont get anny error messages all gren checks marks !
It seems like the problem are in not finding the profiles from CI ?
It find the profiles for the sapgateway.
I someone are more interested I have more documentation with screen shots in a word document.
I Have used Installation Master SR3 and tryed with some older versions as well.
I have read SAP Note 970518 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2
SAPINST
Using virtual hosts for central and/or DB instances
SYMPTOM:
You are using virtual host names for your central instance and/or the database instance (e.g. in a HA environment). Although SAPinst finishes successfully, some export steps are not being performed.
SOLUTION:
Start the export with the property SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.
If the central instance and the database instance run on different hosts, run the database export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host name of the DB server> and - if you run a Java or ABAP+Java system - run the central instance export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host nameof the central instance host>.
If you run a central system with different host names in the profiles, handle the export as a distributed export, calling SAPinst with parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME. Perform the export of the database instance on the DB server, calling SAPinst with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host of the DB server>.

Hi I have received folloving answer from SAP:
You're doing everything correct - besides one thing.
When you specify the profiles during the database export it cannot be
correct to specify the profiles of the gateway instance located on
the same host.
As a consequence - it picks up the wrong instance G01 and sets the
property 'hasABAP' and 'hasJava' to 'false'... - thus the export
is empty. You can see this within the corresponding 'sapinst.log' file.
The correct procedure would be to specify the profiles of the central
instance on the Windows Machine. If you cannot access them, you should
make them available by Samba or by any type of software which makes
it's possible to export filesystems or directories from windows to
unix.

This issue was resolved by OSS note 966752 itself. Below is the important line in the OSS note.
Note: The default value is crucial! If a custom value other than the default value was applied, we highly recommend that you restore the default value.

Homgeneous System Copy with Java and DB2 with database tools.

Hello,
we have an single java stack (netweaver 2004s) and tried a system copy with database tools.
Source System: DP2, dp2adm, db2dp2, sapdp2db
Target System: SP2, sp2adm, db2sp2, ???
We followed the documentation "System copy for SAP systems based on sap netweaver 2004s SR1 JAVA. We exported the SDM on the source system made a redirected restore with db tools and tried to install a new target system.
During the import in the target system using sapinst we get in the
phase run java migration tool kit the following error message.
Caused by:
com.sap.engine.frame.core.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error
while connecting to DB.
at
com.sap.engine.core.configuration.bootstrap.ConfigurationManagerBootstrapImpl.(ConfigurationManagerBootstrapImpl.java:49)
... 14 more
Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.a.SqlException: Connection authorization
failure occurred. Reason: userid revoked.
What I didn't understand is, that in the documenation it is mentioned, that you have to use the same java database connect user. But during the installation of the target system (SP2) I cannot change the java database connect user to sapdp2db. I'm only allow to enter sapsp2db. That might then cause the connection problem.

SAP BI System Copy with only Config changes, Not Data

Hi BASIS,
I have a requirement from a client to build a system landscape stratagy for their SAP BI system.
We have DEV - QA - PRD systems for SAP BI (7.0 SP 16)
Both DEV and QA are completely out of sync with PRD. We are doing development tasks directly on PRD. Now we have decided to re-sync the DEV & QA systems with PRD.
'System copy with Data' will be easier to implement. But our PRD DB size is nearly 3TB. The client is not ready to pay for the extra/temp. disk space for DEV and QA sync. ( We are on DB2).
Now, we have only one option left. Capture all Config changes from PRD and transport them back to DEV & QA. This is a tedious task and cause many inconsistencies.
Would anyone have any other ideas to bring the systems in sync with less time involved and less resources.
I am a SAP BI person. So dont know much about BASIS tasks. Please help me with any links of best practises or SAP notes.
Cheers

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?

Installation Master DVD Distributed Java System Copy menu missing

Hello Gurus
We want to perfom an Java system copy of our EP 6.0 using sapinst
The source OS is Solaris 8.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
The target OS is Solaris 10.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
Our architecture is Distributed , CI is running on a system and DB server on another system.
For this operation we use the master DVD 51033746_12 but we have an issue in exporting the DB as the
Option for exporting the DB on a Distributed system is not displayed on the sapinst Menu .
We followed the last guide taken from sap 'Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 SR 1' and this option should be listed
Excerpt:
Choose the installation service SAP NetWeaver u201904 Support Release 1--> Java System --><DB> --> Distributed System --> Migration - Database Export.
Unfortunately the Distributed system is not displayed and though we are stuck at the export step .
I could not find any sapinst patches . Is it a known issue for Soalris system and is there a Workaround .
Thanks for your help
De Palma Lionel .

Hello
Thanks for your answer . Unfortunately this option is not available as we are using a NW04 SR1 system , not a nw'2004's one . With the latest master install (Installation_Master_6.20_6.40_05_08 51033746_5 )we have the choice of
System copy Source --> Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
--> HA Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
System copy Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Central system-> Migration Data export
Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Distributed system -> Migration Target Central instance / Db instance install
The Distributed system is available for Import option but no for the export one .
My questions are :
- Can we use a master nw2004's master DVD for system copy on a Nw'04s one ?
- As the central instance is hosted on different system than DB instance , should I use the HA option ?
Regards

Portal/Java system copy - test run

Hi all,
We are trying to do a test run of the java system copy - but would like to know where this option (test run) is in sapinst - which screen - we get to a point where it shows the parameters chosen with an option "restart system" chosen - so we are reluctant to go to the next sapinst screen, incase the portal and /or DB is shutdown. NOTE - right now we want to do a test run of the Database export and instance export.
We are running in a distributed environmnet with the app and db on differnet servers.
Thanks in advance - Regards, Neeta

Hi Neeta,
If you choose for the option "Stop running system", you will get a pop-up at the end of the procedure. The system should be stopped by yourself, this will not be done automatically. So you can just proceed with your procedure..
Kind regards,
Mark

Java System Copy tool

Hi,
We have an ECC6 on NW 7 landscape and require a tool to copy system data across 2 SAP systems. I have come across this Java System Copy Tool. I have downloaded the packages:-
Time analyzer
Package Splitter
Migration monitor
OraBRcopy
read the various documents that came with it and i just wanted to know that does this need to be run with SAPinst or can these need to be run individually? seems a bit confusing as there is no a straight forward document to read. I have read the Oracle Parameters that need to be set so that is one thing to discuss with my team.
We have a very big database and i wanted to ask if someone out there has used this that how long did it take migrating your database and under what conditions i.e. was database shutdown, done when system least used, etc?
It seems that Migration Monitor does the job of exporting and importing the packages but i am not sure how Package splitter or time analyzer fits into this?
OraBRcopy is the same as using R3COPY so that is no problem for me but just these inidividual tools i need help understanding.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mani

> We use the database copy procedure and apply redo logs after to a level the apps poeple want it, but recovery takes a long time and it requires lengthy file checks as some are missing so we were investigating alternative methods available one of which was this SAP tool.
You never do full backups?
> My understanding of what you are saying and please correct me if i am wrong.. is that sapinst can copy either java content (assume you mean the java database schema??) or ABAP schema or both. export the java contents and continue using the normal database copy/redo logs method?
Yes. You would
- take a backup of the source database
- execute "sapinst", select system copy and select, that you're doing a "backup/restore" procedure
- sapinst will put all the Java parts together and create a dump of it
- you start sapinst on the target system, select system copy and that you're doing a "backup/restore" procedure
- sapinst will install SCS/CI and stop then asking you to recover the database
- sapinst will continue and setup the Java part
What you encounter is one of the major drawbacks when using DualStack instances. I would, if it's possible, separate the two instances so you can copy them independently of each other.

System copy with NW 7.01 Ehp1 MaxDB hang

The source system copy was run successfully but in the target system copy, the sapinst keep running and running for days at IMPORT ABAP step (Phase 18 of 27).
I don't know what is going on behind it, no error is reported. In the import_monitor.java.log, I see this:

The system copy with Sapinst has changed the schema in oracle

Hi;
have done a copy Homogeneous of a system and after having all correct I have seen that has changed the name of the Schemas and the name of the tablespace.
the system is a PI NW2004S.
When the oraginal schema is SAPSR3DB, in the target system is SAPSR4DB, and all tables are here.
The tablespace SAPSR3DB in the target system is empty and the copy has created one tablespace SAPSR4DB
They are normal these changes?

PI (ABAP+JAVA) system copy

It's said that PI (ABAP+JAVA) system copy is different from pure JAVA system copy or pur ABAP system copy.
Could you share your experience? Thanks!

Hi Christy,
For Java there is exe file, so by clicking that the java is installed on the system.
For PI check the below link

ABAP+JAVA system copy using 3rd party export/import tools

Hi all,
I am trying to do a homogenous system copy. I am following the syscopy guide for SAP NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP+JAVA systems
We are running AIX 5.L and Oracle.
My question is this. We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images. Does anyone know if it is possible to restore or "import" the data in a system copy using an outside tool like this? If so, do you have any information on how to?
I know it is possible to restore the database from an offline backup using BRTools rather than r3load and jload, and I just wanted to see if I can restore from a snap as it would save a lot of time in the procedure.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

That approach is not supported.
The reason is: combined instances write the instance name and hostname in various places, on the filesystem in .properties files, in the JDBC configuration, depending on the java applications you run on top in various other places. What you're trying to do is effectively "renaming" an instance.
Technically it's possible to do it and to get it run, yes, but the supported way is running sapinst and choose ABAP + Java system copy. This will prevent you from lots of (not really documented) manual work after the copy.

Abap+Java System Copy on NW2004

Hello Gurus:
I will be performing a system copy of NW2004 (not NW2004s) which is running on ABAPJava stack. How should I perform the system copy? I have gone thru the documents for ABAP system copy and Java System copy. What are steps that I need to follow to do the ABAPJava stack?
Huge thanks in advance.
Regards,
N.S
