SolMan 3.1 System Export/Import

Dear Sir/Madam,
I currently have a Sol Man 3.1 Oracle Database which I have exported
using the Sol Man 3.1 Installation Master DVD. (It was exported from a
32-Bit Windows Server).
On a new server which is 64 bit Windows I have installed a central
instance, and am now attempting to install a database instance in order
to import my database.
I have followed note 659509 but am still failing to import my database.
I have attached the latest sapinst.log to this message.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Mark.

So please use the second option described in the oss note I sent you:
Below an excerpt:
Database-specific procedure
In this procedure, the database on the target system is not created and filled with the data of the source system, instead the database is created by copying the data belonging to the database from the source system to the target system. This procedure is described in the Installation and Homogenous System Copy Guide as Backup/Restore, Brcopy, R3Copy or DBCopy procedures depending on the SAP release.
Advantage: This procedure is quick and less complex.
Disadvantage: It is not possible to reorganize the database and there are database-dependent restrictions.

Bad performance on system, export/import buffer many sawps

Hello,
I have an ECC 6.0 system on AIX with 6 application servers. There seems to be a performance problem on the system, this issue is being noticed very well when people are trying to save a sale order for example, this operation takes about 10 minutes.
Sometimes we get short dumps TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED or MEMORY_NO_MORE_PAGING but not very often.
I am not very good at studying the performance issues, but from what I could see is that there are may swaps on buffer export/import, program and generic key. Also the HitRatio is 88% at buffer export/import, which I think is pretty low.
I know that the maximum value accepted of swaps per day is 10000, is that right?
Can you please advice me what needs to be done in order for these swaps to decrese and hit ratio to increase? And also what else I should do in order to analyse and root cause and the bad performance of the system?
Many thannks,
manoliv

Hi,
sappfpar determines the minimum and maximum (worst-case) swap space requirements of an R/3 application server. It also checks on shared memory requirements and that the em/initial_size_MB and abap/heap_area_total parameters are correctly set with the following procedure:
/usr/sap/<SYSTEMNAME>/SYS/exe/run/sappfpar check pf=/usr/sap/<SYSTMENAME>/SYS/profile/<Profile name>
At the end of the list, the program reports the minimum swap space, maximum heap space, and worst case swap space requirements:
Additional Swap Space Requirements :
You will probably need to increase the size of the swap space in hosts in which R/3 application servers run.
As a rule of thumb, swap space should equal
3 x Size of Main Storage or at least 1 GB, whichever is larger.
SAP recommends a swap space of 2-3 GB for optimal performance.
Determining Current Swap Space Availability: memlimits
You can find out how much swap space is currently available in your host system with R/3s memlimits program.
Heres how to run memlimits:
From the UNIX command prompt, run the R/3 memlimits program to check on the size of the available swap space on the host system on which an R/3 application server is to run.
The application server must be stopped, not running.
/usr/sap/<SYSTEMNAME>/SYS/exe/run/memlimits | more
The available swap space is reported in the output line Total available swap space: at the end of the program output. The program also indicates whether this amount of swap space will be adequate and determines the size of the data segments in the system.

Error with SAPDFACT during import. (BW System Export / Import)

Hi,
I'm performing an import into an Oracle DB using an export from an Oracle DB of a BW system.
I'm getting the following errors from SAPDFACT, it proceeds if I "ign" the indexes of the affected tables but there are 100s of indexes, must I do this for all?

Tried to search for SAP Notes related to this error but no luck so far.
Can any one advise if I could "ign" all the indexes in the TSK file then later on use the BW indexes repair program to fix the missing indexes?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Java System export/import

Hi All,
We are planning to export our one of Java SAP system. My doubt is regarding DB export. I have DB installed on HostA and SAp installed on hostB.
To start with Db export, from where i need to launch sapinst tool .i.e from HostA (where DB is installed) or HostB) where SAP is installed). Please help.

Hi Harish,
You can do it from HOST A.
However, you can do it from any host.
Refer: SAP database instance export error
Also what is the version of your AS JAVA ?

System copy --- Import issue in Import ABAP phase

HI Team, We are doing migration using system export/import method from win2008/SQL2008 to Win2012/SQL2012 . While doing export there was a problem with table SOFFCONT1 , So we have followed the note 1922094 and changed the size of the package from 1 GB to 2 GB in SOFFCONT1.cmd , After this We have exported the data from the source system using SWPM tool. Now we are importing in to Target system , During the Import ABAP phase we are facing the below issue for same table SOFFCONT1 . Could you please tell us how to fix this issue . Do we need to do same activity for the table while importing also ? =============================================================== H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: START OF LOG: 20140712143736 H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: sccsid @(#) $Id: //bas/721_REL/src/R3ld/R3load/R3ldmain.c#8 $ SAP H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: version R7.20/V1.6 [UNICODE] Compiled Dec 4 2013 17:25:27 patchinfo (patches.h): (0.138) Abort R3load task if TOC file has not entry for the table (note 1914260) process id 11608 H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe -ctf I \\192.168.114.11 \y\Migration\Ghana_Migration_Ecc\\export\ABAP\DATA\SOFFCONT1.STR C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\BS2005\ERP60SR3 \LM\COPY\MSS\SYSTEM\CENTRAL\AS-ABAP\DDLMSS.TPL SOFFCONT1.TSK MSS -l SOFFCONT1.log H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: job completed H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: END OF LOG: 20140712143736 H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: START OF LOG: 20140712143736 H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: sccsid @(#) $Id: //bas/721_REL/src/R3ld/R3load/R3ldmain.c#8 $ SAP H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: version R7.20/V1.6 [UNICODE] Compiled Dec 4 2013 17:25:27 patchinfo (patches.h): (0.138) Abort R3load task if TOC file has not entry for the table (note 1914260) process id 10364 H:\usr\sap\\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe -i SOFFCONT1.cmd -dbcodepage 4103 -l SOFFCONT1.log -loadprocedure fast (DB) INFO: connected to DB (GSI) INFO: dbname = "GFGH-SAP- " (GSI) INFO: vname = "MSSQL " (GSI) INFO: hostname = "GFGH-SAP- " (GSI) INFO: sysname = "Windows NT" (GSI) INFO: nodename = "GFGH-SAP-" (GSI) INFO: release = "6.3" (GSI) INFO: version = "9600 " (GSI) INFO: machine = "6x AMD64 Level 21 (Mod 2 Step 0)" (SQL) INFO: Searching for SQL file SQLFiles.LST (SQL) INFO: SQLFiles.LST not found (SQL) INFO: Searching for SQL file \\192.168.114.11 \y\Migration\Ghana_Migration_Ecc\\export\ABAP\DB/SQLFiles.LST (SQL) INFO: \\192.168.114.11 \y\Migration\Ghana_Migration_Ecc\\export\ABAP\DB/SQLFiles.LST not found (SQL) INFO: Searching for SQL file APPL1.SQL (SQL) INFO: APPL1.SQL not found (SQL) INFO: Searching for SQL file \\192.168.114.11 \y\Migration\Ghana_Migration_Ecc\\export\ABAP\DB/MSS/APPL1.SQL (SQL) INFO: \\192.168.114.11 \y\Migration\Ghana_Migration_Ecc\\export\ABAP\DB/MSS/APPL1.SQL not found (DB) INFO: SOFFCONT1 created (DB) INFO: SOFFCONT1~0 created Interface access functions from dynamic library dbmssslib.dll loaded.

Homgeneouos system copy - Import/Export

Hello everybody,
I have successfully upgrade system( ECC 5.0) m from windows 2003 (32)+ SQL 2000 to windows 2003 (64-bit) + SQL 2005. using attach /detach method, in post processing execute STM tool, update stats etc.
But we found performance is not much of improve previous system with only 4 GB RAM, new one with 32 GB RAM.
I have remove the parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE parameter from the profile so it is under ZERO MEMORY MGT.
This above said in testing environment till.
For testing, I planning for the same using export/import
Plan :
Source system
1. Now, Export the database by executing sapinst.exe and then
select ABAP system-->MS SQL server -->Unicode -->ABAP Database content export
and continue with the Export procedure.
On the Target system
1. Create a directory EXPORT and copied all the exported data.
2. Start the SAP installation(only start database instance installation), enter the required parameters up to the
window selecting the database instance installation method, on this
I will choose System copy/migration(R3load based)
3. provide the path of the Export directory.
4. Specify the order in which the package are loaded - I select alphabetical order
5. No other option will select on this screen.
So for testing, I simply database export from source system and on target system I execute only Database instance installation, all process successfully done.
We have not any BW client so I am generate the DDL statement
Pleas suggest above plan is correct or anything missing?
will improve performance of system?
Thanks
Ganesh

HI!
As per suggested for DDL statement generation, we have no any productive BW client,
i tried on our Qaulity system by logging on regular using client, message display DDL statement
generated successfully,. but when I check in usr\sap\tmp folder there no file
1. Unicode migration option selection is necessary?
    in installation directory path is only /tmp so I checked in ( usr\sap\tmp) directory.
2.
Above procedure is correct, but during target system installation please continue with SAPinst to install SAP instance as well.
As above statement, I started installation on Target system by SAPinst then from option
mySAP EPR 2004 SR1
     System copy
          Target system
             ABAP system
                MS SQL Server
                    Unicode
                          Central instance installation
                          Database instance installation
                          MSCS Node A Configuration
                          MSCS Node B Configuration
                          Dialog instance installation
                          internet graphic server upgrad
I select Database instance installation Database instance installation option. No any other process I have done.
3. is same procedure for system copy in clustering environment ( because our Production system in windows 2003 (64 -bit) clustering environment.
4. After installation complet, in post processing need to use STM tool, update static etc.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Ganesh

Is your DB unicode? If so, did you select the unicode flag in sapinst?

Client Copy Export/Import on large system. 1.5 TB

Hi,
We have a 3 tier landscape. DEV, TST, PRD.
Database size in PRD is 1.5 TB (1500 GB)
Our developers need fresh master and trans data in TST and DEV.
We are thinking about making a
PRD --> TST (1.5 TB) we do a system copy.
TST --> DEV (1.5 TB) we can't do a system copy. (Company policy says not to touch repository objects, version management what so ever in DEV....)
1. How long will a client export / import take from TST --> DEV, lets say we have "good HW" ? Will it work ?
2. I've read about TDMS but its toooo expensive.....is there maybe any 3 party tool that is good for this purpose ? Transfering 1.5 TB of data ...
Br,
Martin

Hi,
>1. How long will a client export / import take from TST --> DEV, lets say we have "good HW" ? Will it >work ?
In my opinion, a 1.5 TB database is much too big for a client copy.
It will work but may last a full week and would degrade the production system performance.
We have 1.3 TB databases and stopped using client copies since the system was 300 GB...
We only use database restores and renaming for system refresh even for the dev system.
There is procedure to keep the versionning of sources.

Olivier

Export / Import   to memory Id 2 . ( Unicode System)

hi all ,
we get unicode syntax error for the statement

EXPORT d1200 TO MEMORY ID 2.

Unicode systems have a problem in that you can't define stuff as type X. Structures also have to be properly "bounded". You can also no longer rely on code such as field1+7(9) .
You could define your structure as a STRING and delimit the fields with say a tab symbol ( use the attribute in cl_abap_utilities to get the tab char in a unicode system).
export the string to memory.
on the import end use the SPLIT command on the string to re-create your data elements.
You will then have to manage the decimal arithmetic yourself.
It's a pain - but that's largely the point of Unicode --everything is treated as TYPE C.
Structures containing anything other than type C data are also a real problem if you want to upload / download data. Handling Binary files is a nightmare.
There are some SAP supplied utilities / notes / documentations on converting to a Unicode system.

SLD Export / import Technical and Business systems

Dear all,
I am new to SLD administration.
We have task to update the local SLD on the Production PI system PPI ( Target ) with the business systems ZEC, ZSC from the Production Master SLD on Production solution manager system
PSM ( source ) using Export/Import on the necessary technical and business systems.
Please confirm whether i am following correct steps :
Go to SLD Administration on PPI target system
ALL Instances
Instances by Class
Model
( which one of this option need to be selected , please let me know ?? )
Go to SLD Administration on PSM source system.
select Export button ->
Select business systems one by one and perform Export which will create .ZIP file
at local machine.
Go to SLD Administration on PPI target system
select Import button ->
Select Export ZIP file which created in previous steps from PSM and provide location from desktop
Start Import button ( only if you get Continue import option )
Please let me know if above procedure is correct for business systems
if yes then what need to be done for Technical system ??...do they require Export/import also ?
If yes when i go to technical system option i get Export option disabled...but same way when i go to
business systems option i get Export button enable and able to perform the export.
Do i need to only Export / Import business systems ?
Plese help me.
Regards,
RR

Manoj,
It seems entries are added manually .... should we remove and run Import for the same ...
or just try to overwrite .... in case of overwrite option ( as we have open OSS message ) SAP has suggested through OSS message that If you end up with problems when trying to overwrite, then the PPI SLD is broken and will have to be re-built because someone made a manual change to it and got the GUIDs out of synch with the master.
I do not understand if target system PPI SLD gets broken during overwriting operation as mentioned by SAP ... whats is the way / steps / procedure to Re-build SLD .
In rebuilt - process do i need to Import ( Export -> Export lines -> ALL ) the export backup created before start of this activity ? please let me know SLD rebuilt steps and about Remove - reimport issue.
Appreciate you time on this. thanks in advance.

(ABAP+JAVA) system is too big to export/import

We have some NW04s and ECC6 dual stack systems that we want to frequently clone using homogeneous system copy method.
However they can be as big as many terabytes.
Is there a way to clone they using a way other than export/import?
Thanks!

Hi,
As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, you can copy ABAPJava systems in one run using either database-specific methods or database-independent methods. In a ABAPJAVA stack system, you need to run a separate export for the Java engine to archive SDM and application specific file contents. You will have to supply that java Export location on the target system, while performing DB specific system copy procedure.
Please refer [system copy guide for ABAP+JAVA stack |http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000670917&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700000416402008E] along with the previously suggested links to get more information.

Homogeneous system copy using export/import on WIn/Ora

Dear experts,
i need to know the homogeneous system copy procedure using export/import method for following scenario as we are in the process of Data center migration of SAP systemsfrom location to another location.
Source system:
ECC6/BI7/APO(ABAP stack)
OS:WIndows 2003
D:B:Oracle 10g
Target System: New hardware installed on Virtual environment(VMware)
No change of SID
ECC6/BI//APO
OS:WINDOWS2008
D:B: Oracle 11g
It would be great if anyone can share the documentu2019s/links (Not SAP homogeneous system copy guide) which you have prepared for the homog. system copy using export/import on Windows/oracle as i have done the system copy using backup/restore for ABAP stack and export/import for Java stack so far.
Therefore i am not sure about this procedure/prerequisites/checklist needs to prepare as i have gone through the SAP guide but it is not step by step document.
Cheers

There are two approacahes for your project
1) First wether to use Oracle11g on target database
2) Continue with Database Oracle 10.2 on traget database
If you want to use Oracle11.2 on your target database you have to search the installers which are supported for 11.2 database. If the installers are available then only you can install your target database using Oracle11.2.Other wise t use Oracle10.2.0.4 is supported on Win2008r2. You can use this version of Oracle database to build ur target database.It works fine . Absolutely no problem.
Later on you can upgrade the Oracle10.2 to 11.2 Onwards.
If installers are avialble you can use Oracle11.2 also. There is absolutely no problem.
As per my knowledge installers are available and supported with Oracle11.2.Also check the PAM before arriving on any deciscion.

System copy using R3load ( Export / Import )

Hi,
We are testing System copy using R3load ( Export / Import ) using our production data.
Environment : 46C / Oracle.
while executing export, it takes more than 20 hours, for the data to get exported, we want to reduce the export time drastically. hence, we want to achieve it by scrutinizing the input parameters.
during export, there is a parameter by name splitting the *.STR and *.EXT files for R3load.
the default input for the above parameter is No, do not split STR and EXT files.
My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
Best Regards
L Raghunahth

Hi
The time of the export depends on the size of your database (and the size of your biggest tables) and your hardware capacity.
My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
In case you have a few very large tables, and you have multiple cpu's and a decent disk storage, then splitting might significantly reduce the export time.
My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
As you did not tell us about your database size and hardware details there is no way to give you anything but very basic metrics. Did you specify a parallel degree at all, was your hardware idling for 20 hrs or fully loaded already?
20 hrs for a 100gb database is very slow. It is reasonable (rather fast in my opinion) for a 2tb database.
Best regards, Michael

System copy via SAPINST (Export/Import)

Hello!
We are using SAP ERP EHP4 system on Windows with SAP MaxDB (Version: 7.7.07.09).
We would like to copy this productive system to QAS system.
Therefore we successfully run SAPINST (with running db and sap, because we cannot stop productive system) with option Export and have currently an valid export of productive system.
After we read several sap notes (such as 1014782, 129352) we found that the system copy procedure Backup/Restore will be recomended.
Questions
1) Can we still copy productive system via export and import option with SAPINT?
1a) Should/must the SAP Max DB instance be installed before runing SAPINT on the target server?
1b) Which SAP MaxDB version should be installed on the target server?
Has some one experience with system copy of SAP systems with SPA MaxDB via Export/Import?
It will be great to get some answers or recommendation.

You're back with a new ID after using:
Holger Thomasson
Jgen Pfeiffer
Thom Heinemann
H. Lemke
and now Tom Hermann.
too bad it took me so long to find you!

Export & import of sap sid schema for building a new system

Hi,
We have a quality BW system which runs on HANA SPS07 (Revision 73). The database contains many schemas in addition to sap<sid>, the rest of the schemas are used through native HANA and are very huge.
We are planning to build a new test BW system by system copy method from quality BW systems. We dont want the export/import of entire database as it will take a long time because of huge native HANA schemas, also the schemas other than sap<sid> are not required in the target. Please let me know how to copy only the sap<sid> schema to the new database.
Thanks & Regards,
Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
Try with rigth clic on schema -> Export,
Select CSV format, choose a directory.
And for import the schema use the follow query:
import "old_schema"."*" as CSV from 'Directory' with replace threads 10 rename schema "old_schema" to "NEW_schema_name";
Regards.
Ferando.
