4.7 Homogeneous System copy - Backup & Restore Method

Hi,
I am doing Homogeneous system copy of SAP 4.7 in win2003 & SQL2000. I followed Note :551915 & used user_restore script. My SAP server is not starting. I am attaching the log file of dev_w2. Please guide me

> The Languages(Chinese,Japanese,Korean) Installed on the source system(Non- Unicode) are not reflecting in the target system(Non- Unicode) after Homogeneous system copy.
Can you tell us what you mean with "not reflecting"? All the content is in the database so if you copied that, it's definitely there.
> Can you please guide whether we have to do Unicode conversion for this /Is their any way for activating the languages. I Executed the report RSCPINST and tried to activate the languages after doing stimulation and copying zcsa/installed_languages =13CDEFIJLMNOPQRSTVZ to the instance profile.
...and you did a restart of the instance after you changed that parameter?

  • SAP SQL System Copy backup restore method with ADS(Adobe document services)

    Hello all,
    i´m preparing a system copy with ERP 6.0 in windows and SQL server with ADS.
    I have a doubt, can i do the System Copy backup/restore method with ADS??
    or the only method that works is with system export/import in all instances??
    Thank you

    Hi Oscar,
    Is your ADS system separate from your ERP system, or are they on the same server?
    In any case, you can use backup/restore to copy a Java system, but you must also make a system export/import for the Java server components.  The two work in conjunction, so that the export tool doesn't export your whole database, only the components maintained in the filesystem.  If you select the database detach/attach or backup/restore method in the tool when going against the Java system, it will prompt you at the right point in the process to make your Java export as well.
    The caveat is that the Java export requires downtime, so it isn't possible to copy a Java system without impacting system availability, as it is with a pure ABAP system.
    Best regards,
    Matt

  • Homogeneous System copy -  NW2004s

    I am trying to perform a homogeneous system copy of NW2004s ECC6 system using sapinst.
    Platform info:
    OS - HPUX
    DB - Oracle
    I am using DB specific (oracle) method to restore an offline backup.
    When I run the sapinst to import, I get past preliminary information screens and when I select "Homogeneous System Copy (backup/restore)", I am prompted for the location of LABEL.ASC for the migration.
    The documentation in the guide "Homogeneous System Copy  of NW2004s" is poor and does not address this issue.
    I suspect there is a bug in sapinst.
    Has anyone come across this issue before?
    Thanks,
    Sai

    Steps for homogeneus copy :
    1. Export of source system using sapinst ( R3load )
    2. transfer the file over to target system
    3. Do new installation of he system by using the transfered file as you export file.
    I gues the menu in sapinst would be additional lifecycle task .

  • Homegneous System copy Specific DB method Oracle Backup/Restore Sapinst

    Hello colleagues,
    Following the documentation, I´ve one doubt about the above method, is it needed to install again the SCS instance when the system is installed in one host and we want just to refresh database.
    I mean, we want to refresh CRM quality system from Production system. It´s a ABAP+JAVA system, so i have to prepare a backup and export Central instance through sapinst in source system.
    Afterwards it´s needed to follow the three steps in sapinst, Install SCS instance, Install database instance and install central instance (database copy section) . Or as we´ve already installed our quality CRM system, it´s just enough with installing database instance and central instance (using backup/restore method and exported data from source system)
    Thanks a lot for this info because in the SAP guides it´s not clear from my point of view.
    Regards

    Well i didnot get your question properly, but as per my understanding if you have only ABAP instance installed then you can go with the Database resoration method but as you said ABAP+JAVA instance both are there so in that case you need to build the export of complete system through Sapinst and then you cn perform the same export file to install the target system which will be your Quality.
    Another option is that just restore the database via database restoration method then try to restore the JAVA stack by file system method which is i think not supported by SAP if i am not wrong but it can be done i tired the same on XI system.

  • Homogeneous system copy ( sapinst or db specific method )

    I want to make homogeneous system copy ( NW7 ) of ECC6 from PRD to make a QA system on HPUX/Oracle environment. I am wondering which of the following method is better way to go
    System copy with the help of sapinst
    or
    Database specific method
    What are the steps of each method?
    Please help, your help will be highly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    -Al

    Hi Al,
    Using sapinst is the supported method by SAP but it takes much longer as you'll need to export/import the data and doing this affects availability of your PRD system.  Most companies perform DB backup/restore as it is much quicker and does not require an outage of your PRD system (if you have online backups).  Different databases have different tools for this operations.  Since it only a QA system, I would suggest you do a DB backup/restore.

  • Homogeneous System Copy using DB6 specific procedure

    Hello all,
    I'd like to do homogeneous system copy from source system(hostname: host01) to target system(hostname: host02) using DB2 backup/restore procedure.
    Because SAP database has some tables related their hostname, I think it cause some conflicts between target system's hostname(host02) and the records in the new database on target system(it still remains "host01"). 
    Can I avoid this conflicts if I use DB6 redirected restore method?
    Or do I have to do R3load export/import like hetero system copy?
    I know I can start SAP system when I set SAPLOCALHOST=host01 in instance profile on host02, but is there any other good workaround?
    I wonder how you will do if you face this situation.
    Any comments would be appreciated.
    Regards, Ikue

    Hi dirk,
    Thank you for your reply.
    As you mentioned, System copy often brings changing hostname, so the post processing in the SAP's Guide should cover all of influences.
    I had thought SAP database does not contain hostname entries anymore, but, I found one table which contains DBHOST name in ECC database: SAP<SID>.DB6NAVSYST
    ex) SID=ST8, hostname=athens
    athens:db2st8 66> db2 "select DBHOST from SAPST8.DB6NAVSYST"
    DBHOST
    athens
      1 record(s) selected.
    Can I believe these entries will be adjusted during System Copy operation along SAP's Guide(both DB2 backup/restore and R3load)?
    If Yes, when does adjusting occur? (at post processing or during SAPinst?)
    I have very negative impression of changing hostname of SAP system since I read Note 8307...
    Does SAP support change hostname if I do System Copy?
    Best regards,
    Ikue

    1. In note 516246(System copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS 6.20)
    it is mentioned to download the latest version of R3LDCTL and apply it
    to the system. I have following questions:
    under service.sap.com/patches
    i found only
    R3LDCTL
    Support Package SAP KERNEL 4.5B 32-BIT Windows Server on IA32 32bit

    Is this file ok?(I will perform a homogeneous system copy of an 4.7x1.1

    If the file is ok what is meant as apply?(put it in kernel directory?)
    2. Very similar question applies to file R3szchk
    under service.sap.com/patches I found only
    R3szchk
    Support Package SAP KERNEL 4.6C 32-BIT Windows Server on IA32 32bit
    ORACLE
    Is this file ok?(I will perform a homogeneous system copy of an 4.7x1.1
    system)
    3.In same note(516246) the SAPinst CD is mentioned. How could I get it?
    4.On the Source system I have kernel 640. I guess I have to copy the
    content of this directory to the target system also. But in which phase?

    hi,
    first my question GGG
    -> by which means do you plan to copy? brbackup/brrestore? r3copy? r3load?
    ad 1.
    SAPNet -> Patches -> Add. Components -> SAP Kernel -> 32 BIT (uni oder non-uni depending on your environment) -> SAP Kernel 6.40 32-bit -> Windows Srv -> Oracle -> R3ldctl_6-20000185.SAR (13.07.2006) is the right file (your kernel is 6.40!!!)
    ad 2.
    SAPNet -> Patches -> Add. Components -> SAP Kernel -> 32 BIT (uni oder non-uni depending on your environment) -> SAP Kernel 6.40 32-bit -> Windows Srv -> Oracle -> R3szchk_12-20000185.SAR is the right file (your kernel is 6.40!!!)
    ad 3.
    SAPNet -> SWDC (= Downloads) -> Download -> Inst. and Upgrades -> Entry by applic. group -> SAP Applic. Components -> SAP R/3 Enterprise -> Ent. 47X110 -> Installation -> Windows Server -> Oracle -> CD SAP R3E 4.7x1.10 SR1 SAPINST ORACLE (CD N° 51019679)
    ad 4.
    not really....it depends on the strategy (see my question above)...you first install the database software (oracle), then the central instance using sapinst, afterwards you will install the database instance using sapinst as well; while installing the db instance you have to chose db copy (or homogeneous copy, system copy) as the "database installation method" if you choose to copy the database files or did a backup if you choose to use the export/import method (using standard r3load) you will use the SystemCopy method as well but you will point (later on) to the directory where you (source) db export lies.
    brrestore or copy method:
    =========================
    sapinst will popup at the appropriate point that the db load has to be done and depending on your strategy you have either to restore or copy files...
    by the way: did you already export/backup/copy your source system?
    if any further questions arise feel free to post

  • Homogeneous System Copy - Export Import of RFC's, ALE, Content Repositories

    Good Morning,
    I have a landscape with a Development and Production Systems with SAP R3 Enterprise 4.70 Ext 110, MaxDB 7.5, HP-UX 11.23. A Homogeneous System Copy is going to be done from Production to Development.
    I have a idea to be able to recover the RFC's, ALE and Content Repositories Information after the Copy, which is to create a transport order with the structures which contain data for the RFC's definition, the ALE configurations and definitions and the Content Repositories configurations and definitions in Development and after the copy, transport the orders back to Development. The problem is that i don't know which structures should i use, and if my idea is viable?
    For example, if i go to transaction oac0 and look at the content repositories and if i look at the Technical Information, i can see that the fileds with data are from Structure SCMS_SCREP, but my question is, inserting thsi structure in a transport order to import after the copy willbe enough? Aren't there more structures i need to insert in a transport order? And for RFCs and ALE?
    Can anyone help me on this matter please?
    Kind Regards,

    Hi,
    If the target system is being refreshed then first secure any information that you may require.
    1) Backup user master and authorization data from each client where this data needs to be retained.
        Use transaction SCC8 to export this data.  Select profile SAP_USER and specify target system = TARGET_SID.
    2) Backup RFC tables to restore destinations afterwards.
         the only below tables required to take backup.    
    Call SE01 and create a new request of type = ""Transport of Copies"" with description = ""Export RFC destination tables prior to system refresh"".Make sure to specify a Target for the request or no data file will be created.
    RFCATTRIB
    RFCCHECK
    RFCDES
    RFCDESSECU
    RFCDOC
    3) ALE / Partner profiles.
      Call WE20 and select each partner profile.
    Follow menu path ""Partners --> Check"" and obtain a list of tables used.
    The only tables listed were the ones listed below.
    These tables are client-dependant therefore you will have to logon to each client and call SE01 and create a new request of type = ""Transport of Copies"
      EDPP1
      EDP13
      EDP21
    Also document the WE21 --> Ports --> Transactional RFC" section.
    Run transaction BD64 and document each configured distribution model.  This information is client-dependent so make sure to record values for each required client. and also record RFC destinations for synchronous method calls in BD97.
    I hope it will help you.

  • 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.

  • Homogeneous system copy ECC 6.0 EHP4 dual stack system

    Hello ,
       I have a requirement of homogeneous system for the below Source system
    Source system :
    ECC6.0 EHP1 ABAP+java dual stack system with DB2 AIX
    Required Target system:
    ECC 6.0 EHP1 (same as target system except single stack java not required)
    1 .I was trying to use db specific homogeneous system copy method wiht redirected restore script
    2. Not possible to get downtime on source system hense it's a production system , then i used target system installaion with homogeneous system copy database specific mehthod
    Problem is - it's asking migration export while creating the target system ,  but i don't have any migration export since i have not exported from source system .
    please help us to proceed further.
    Thanks in Advance.

    2. Not possible to get downtime on source system hense it's a production system , then i used target system installaion with homogeneous system copy database specific mehthod
    What did you choose to do in database specific method - DB2 backup/restore ?
    //Backup Restore
    Homegeneous system copy(database specific method)
    Target -
    As I understand, you have started IMPORT using SAPinst for target system installation. During IMPORT, what target system installation (only ABAP or what ?) you chose ?
    //I took ABAP+JAVA
    'Problem is - it's asking migration export while creating the target system , but i don't have any migration export since i have not exported from source system .'
    This is because the source system is ABAP+Java, and now during target system installation, then IMPORT procedure is asking for Java Export dump.
    Thanks

  • Homogeneous System Copy - Help me

    Hi,
    I need to refresh the Training environment with the QAS environment data then I did the client copy from QRP(QAS environment) to TRN (training environment). This copy was made successfully, but with some data inconsistences.
    And then a decided to do a Homogeneous System Copy.
    I did the HSC selecting the option "Standard System Copy/Migration (R3Load-Based) " but exist the another option "System Copy / Oracle Backup/Restore".
    And my doubt is: the process that I need to do is the Standard System Copy / Migration (R3Load-Based) or System Copy / Oracle Backup/Restore?
    And the inverse process (import), can I to install just a Database Instance, once that a Central Instance already exists?!
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dany Anderson

    Hii the process you need to do is system copy . In system copy there are two ways one by using R3load tool and other is backup method. Generally the backup method is faster where all your database will be backedup and copied to the target system. R3load and oracle backup are just two methods of doing system copy.
    homogeneous system copy if your target system is on the same operating system and database system as your source system. The database contents are copied from the source system to the target system.
        You perform a heterogeneous system copy if you want to change the operating system or database system. Migration is another term for a heterogeneous system copy.
    Please reward points if useful

  • Homogeneous system copy on the same hardware and OS

    Hi!
    When I installed our Q system I was given the wrong user, a local admin instead of a domain admin. Now we can not perform backup with our backup tool, HP dataprotector, because of authorization issues.
    My solution is to "move" the system to the domain and to do that I need to do a Homogeneous system copy.
    Our system is a 64-bit CRM 7.0 ABAP and J2EE on Windows 2008 with Oracle 10.2
    I've read note 676468, 1238351 and the System Copy Guide - System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and from this I can see the following ways to do it
    1. using SAPinst for export and import
    2. using an offline backup
    3. copy database files
    What are your experiences with the different methods and what would you recommend?
    rollo

    > that seems to me a bit overdosed for just a user mismatch...
    It is not "just" a user mismatch, the full environment is wrong (wrong user ID).
    Windows stores users not as usernames but as UIDs (see HKEY\USERS in the registry). All permissions and ACLs and registry access permissions are using that UID - including the enviornmental settings, DCOM configurations etc.
    Therefore I would go for system copy as stated in
    Note 1233320 - Domain migration for SAP system
    Technically it may work on the first look, problems may arise later. <sid>adm has to have some special permissions/policies that are not visible (like 'locking pages in memory' or 'act as part of the operating system' or 'run as batch') etc.

  • Homogeneous System Copy to Upgrade Propouse

    Hi all,
    We're pretending to do a Homogeneous System Copy from a SAP ECC 5.0 that runs on Windows_X64 Server with DB2 8.1 . The target DB release is DB2 9.5 ( Windows_X64 Server).
    We've read from IBM Help Page that DB2 8.2 it can be upgraded directlly to 9.x.
    What is the right roadmap?
    OPTION 1:
    Backup offline of old DB2 8.1 enviroment.
    - Run sapinst install centrall instance
    - Run sapinst to install Database instance with 9.5 RDBMS full installation.
    - Restore backup from 8.1 ?

    are you really using DB2 V8.1 ( DB2 V8 with fixpack level < 7 ) ?
    not sure if OPTION 1 works since your DB2 V8 version is so old. Is it an option to upgrade your fixpack level on your source database first and apply OPTION 1 afterwards.
    Regards

  • Homogeneous System Copy - Installation of Database Instance not possible...

    I try to create a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 Portal based on a homogeneous SAP System Copy. Therefore I already installed in a first step (first option within SAPINST for installing a target system of a system copy) the Central Services Instance successfully on a machine. In the next step I'd like to create the Database Instance with SAPINST but I cannot choose the DB instance that I already created based on a restore within the new DB server (MS SQL 2008 Cluster installation). I can only choose the local machine for using a DB instance but there is no MS SQL Server installed!
    Do I have to start SAPINST on the DB server itself which is not possible/allowed (due to operating/organization reasons)?
    Is there any SAPINST parameter which I have to use for telling SAPINST that the DB is located on a different server?!?
    The documentation just says:
    The target system is installed using the exports from the source system.
    Choose the installation services exactly in the order they appear. For more information, see the MS SQL Server installation guide for your SAP system at http://service.sap.com/installnw70.
    On the SAPinst screen SAP SystemDatabase make sure to select Homogeneous System Copy (MS SQL Server-specific: Detach/Attach or Backup).
    Thanks for supporting and Regards,
    Claudio Schmidt

    OK, SAP Note 1076022 says:
    SAP installation packages on SAP Service Marketplace
    On March 27, 2008, SAP released the Netweaver installation package SR3, which supports SQL Server 2008 (R2). Note 1152240 discusses the details and lists some restrictions. Make sure you carefully read Note 1152240 and use a recent enough installation master DVD.
    SAP Note 1152240 says:
    If you want to perform a system copy of an SAP system that is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 on SQL Server 2008 (R2), you cannot use the Installation Master and Kernel DVD that you received from SAP or downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). Instead, you have to do the following:
    - Patch your runtime libraries as described in SAP note 684106
    - Use a modified Installation Master DVD. For more information, see section "IV Creating a modified Installation Master DVD".
    - Use a modified Kernel DVD. For more information about how to create a modified kernel DVD, see SAP note 1480785.
    What problem is fixed by using the modified Installation Master DVD? Is it possible to install the DB part on a server apart of the local machine where SAPINST is run (my initial question/problem I want do resolve)?

  • 'Homogeneous system copy' in a few minutes ?

    Hi,
    I have seen on DSAG congress how an Administrator has done a technical Homogeneous system copy  for refreshing a QA System, in 7 minutes. (And the new SAP System was running). Without reworking in the running SAP-System.
    This is done in a WIN/Oracle environment wit NETApp Storage with the function SNAP from netapp.
    I want to ask if there is a possibility, to speed up the homogeneous system copy on iSeries?
    Normally you need hours for deleting the library. You need hours for restoring data. And some time for SAPInst.
    kind regrads,
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    this is definetely NOT possible on iSeries. It can only be done on a platform wit snapshot technology, that can be mounted on a different system. If the SID or the hostname changes, there ARE suggested post steps - most of them are not needed for pure ABAP systems, but at least would be useful.
    As you know, i5 uses the disks "AS ONE" and therefore cannot create snapshots & mount them on another partition. I know, that external storage systems are able to create snapshots on i5 as well, but they are "just" used for backup and NOT for mounting on a different system.
    In my eyes, the only option to achieve this would be an iASP environment, that becomes detached and then run different. But, if you want to rename the SID, you need at least a lot more time than 7 minutes as you have to stop journaling, rename the lib and then start journaling. It would be a significant time improvement for the copy - but for a pretty high price in my eyes ...
