Archiving and system copy

Hello experts,
Is the below scenario possible ?
Can we access archived production data from quality system ?
through system copy (homogeneous), quality is holding the production data .
Archiving is going on in production.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
Yes it is possible to display the archived document from quality SAP sys pointing to production Archive server via content repo & your desktop viewer (register key) should be pointed to production archive server.
Caution:
You should also understand the security breach...
If you are displaying attachments/images from optical view Or from Service object then mind deletion button. Most of your development team will have access to delete it... meaning which chances of deleting the attachments/images from the production archive server will be more........ once deleted then from production SAP sys also you are not able to display (again based on security in prod archive server).
Think of this and take a call.
-Thanks,
Ajay

CHARM and System Copy (Database Copy)

Dear All,
Does anyone have experience on managing System Copy (Database Copy) on the SAP Landscape which are implementing Centralize CHARM on Solution Manager?
Case:
Transport route : DEV --> QAS --> PRD
CHARM centralize managed in: SLM.
Now, QAS will be refreshed from PRD (by Database Copy) .
How to ensure the following will be kept consistence:
1. IMG Status on satelite systems
2. SMI Project data linked to satelite systems
3. Support Desk data (Support/notification messages, Business
Partner,iBase,etc) related with CHARM linked to satelite systems
4. Status of SMI Project cycle data linked to satelite systems
I have tried it on Simulation landscape, seems many manually steps need to be done (eg. Redo all RFC definitions to the refreshed system) and some of above data are inconsistence ..
Thanks and regards,
Hery

Dear Hery,
Please refer to SAP Note 985692 "Copying a satellite system: Change
Management". This note provide all the required information.
I hope that it answers most of your queries as well.

Remote client copy:
1. Scc4 entry for the client.
2. SCC8 RFC maintain .. folow the screens
3. Scc3
System Copy:
1. Take the offline backup of the source system and the control file.
2. Restore the backup on the target system.

Hi Nizamuddin,
Message text
Data on dump will not fit into current database. Need %d Mbyte database.
Explanation
This error occurs when an attempt is made to load a database dump into a database smaller than the dumped database. You cannot use dump database or load database to shrink a database, regardless of the amount of actual data in the database.
Action
If your goal is to load the database from the dump, you must increase the size of the database being loaded into to at least the configured size of the dumped database. You can do this with either the alter database command or by dropping and re-creating a larger database.
If your goal is to shrink the total size of a database, you cannot use dump and load. You must copy all the data out of the database using bcp, drop the database and re-create a smaller database, then re-create the database structure with scripts, and reload the data with bcp.
extend your current master *database* on the master *device* to a total size of 101376MB(or more) (use 'alter database' command)
alter database master on master = <size in MB>
If there isn't enough room on the master device AND the master device is either a file system device in a file system that has free space or was created on a raw partition that is actually larger than the master device was defined, then you can use the DISK RESIZE command to enlarge the master device
disk resize name = "master", size = <additional space in MB>

System copy for ABAP+JAVA system using SAPINST method

Dear support,
We have recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 system and we have been still doing system copy by using backup and restore method. I know its wrong.
which involves below steps , this old methos works fine for ABAP engine and evreything looks ok.But java engine will not work.
So we need to use SAPINST method as described in note 785848 and system copy guide available on OSS. But i am really not able to understand sequence
for tasks to be carried out in this SAPINST method.
Can anybody list few sequence along with step by step procedure as i mentioned below for old system copy procedure.
Is it really difficult to make that for SAPINST as everybody says refer to standard guide and note ?
Anybody if possible can make the same way as i did below , i think it would rather be small as far as my understanding after reading those docs.
Simple old system copy procedure works for ABAP is as:
Run the following command on source system.
a. Login as <sid>adm
b. svrmgrl
c. connect internal
d. alter database backup controlfile to trace;
e. exit;
f. Above command will generate a .trc file in /oracle/P01/saptrance/usertrace directory.
g. Copy the text from CREATE CONTROLFILE until the ( and paste it in to any new .sql or controlfile.sql file.
h. Copy the controlfile.sql to target system.
i. Edit the file and replace the entire source SID to target SID.
j. Edit the reuse database command with the set database command
Copy the aft generated during the backup file from the source system to target system. (/oracle/<SID>/sapbackup)
a. Change all the source <SID> to target <SID>.
b. Only don't change the backup volume name it must be target system <SID>.
c. Copy the above aft file name line from the source back<SID>.log to target<SID>.log file.
5. Shutdown the target server instance.
6. From this onwards all the command on the target system only.
a. Login as <SID>adm
b. run the SAPDBA
c. select J (Restore/Recovery)
d. select B (Full restore and recovery)
e. select A (Select backup of type)
f. Select the offline backup which you want to restore.
g. It will take some time to restore.
h. Once the database is restored login as <SID>adm and run the
i. svrmgrl
j. connect internal;
k. startup nomount (if the database is already mounted shutdown it using the shutdown command)
l. run the following command
m. @controlfile.sql (file name of the control file contains the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement)
n. After the run the above command it should give the "Statement Processed)
o. alter database open resetlogs.
I am really looking forward to see anybody take some time out to prepare this kind of step by step procedure.
It would be of greate help for all of us for performing system copy with sapinst method.
Looking forward for your support.
Best Regards,
AjitR

Hi,
As per the guide you need to do source system Technical Preparations, in that running the export preparation is also one. You need to run this first before you start the export, if and only if export will successful if preparation is successful.
Yes you need to create the export directory to take the export copy of source system, it may be any where in your server. It should be having 6 to 8 GB free space.No need to create the export directory in target system, after export is completed in the source system you copy the export directory to the target system.
Target system
Yes you need to take the back up file system and delete all the contents of the directory.
Yes it can be considered as fresh system installation but copy of source system.
Yes the process follows after you giving the export directory path .
Next screen you will get the database drop and recreate screen chouse the drop and recreate method
Next J2EE user name and password
Next DDIC password
Next you have to give kernel and oracle client dvd path
Next Parameter checking screen here if you are selected database drop and recreate you have to revise the oracle database system option
If you are selecting review next screen is database advance option you have to select the advanced option
Next you have to select following option to recreate
1 Sapdata directory mapping
2 Database instance file system
3 Create database parameter
4 Create tablespace
Next screen sapdata directory creating
Next screen you can just click next no need to change any setting
Next table creation
Next screen specify oracle instance directories
Next again parameter checking and last this is last screen
Next will be the execution screen

Changing passwords and system copies

Hello,
since we are changing passwords of the users control, superdba and database schemata user to individual passwords we get problems with system copies.
When we do a system copy and try to set the password of the superdba we get the message wrong sysdba.
We can connect to a copied database by two different passwords to database instance (dbmcli uses the origin of the system, dbmgui the password of the source system of system copy).
Is the passord of superdba stored at two points, filesystem and in the database?
At FAQ I found the hint to load systab after installation, upgrade and system copy.
Can I load systab at any time without risk?
Best Regards
Andreas

AFAIK the password of the SYSDBA can't be changed (easily), it's copied with the database.
You can load the system tables on the new system anytime using
dbmcli -U c load_systab -u superdba,<oldpassword> -ud domain

System Copy Guide: Exporting the Source System Using SAPinst.

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to do Unicode conversion of ERP 2005 SR3 on Oracle/WS2003
The preparation steps are OK
When I execute the last Phase using Sapinst : "database instance export",
it finishes within one minute with the message "Database instance export has been completed succesfully"
but without exporting data.
I have follow up Unicode Conversion Guide and System Copy Guide System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 ABAP+Java.
What could be wrong here?
Thansk for your help

So you need to set an environment variable
SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME = <your-virtual-hostname>
for the user executing sapinst.

Can I copy newer system (10.6.8.) from previous system folder after archive and install with (10.5.4)?

Rightyho,
had trouble with extensions in 10.6.8 and had to re-install with original disks 10.5.4.
Did an archive and install.
In my (dated) Previous System Folder are Appl / Library / System / User folders.
Copied my User folder back no problem.
Can that also be done with the newer system? No info in support.
Time Machine won't migrate because of newer system and I have only a disk image of Snow Leopard and can't burn double layer DVDs.
When I tried to order SL DVD from Apple they told me it'll take 3 weeks ...
