Basis work for SAP system copy using DB2 cloning tool

My company is using the DB2 cloning tool, formerly from MainStar. Our DBAs have used this tool to create a clone of a technical sandbox (ST1) to another DB2 instance (SZ1).
I am reading through the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java guide and trying to follow the steps.
As information, our application servers are currently running on zLinux and I am trying to do a system copy of an HA ABAP+Java SID.
Since we have used the cloning tool, which I would equate to a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools, the guide looks like it says I can skip the Export Preparation and Table Splitting Preparation steps. The only other step for the source system is the Database and Central Instance Export.
When I execute this step, it creates a dump of the database. This seems useless as we already have a cloned copy of the database.
Does anyone have the list of Basis tasks for a system copy when the DB2 cloning tool is used?
Brian

Nevermind. If someone sets:
rdisp/j2ee_start = 0
in an ABAP+Java system, sapinst behaves strangely during the system export and does not give the option to only dump the filesystem. Bug?

Db2 homogenous system copy using DB specific tools.

Hi,
I'm currently doing a homogenous system copy using db specific tools option (DB2). I did an offline backup of the source system using db2 backup database command, then ran SAPinst (NW70SR2) on the source system to go through the export phase, no problem. On the destination system, I ran SAPinst (NW70SR3) to do the import phase and reached a point where SAPinst asked me to restore the database using db2 tools. I running command:
RESTORE DATABASE <SID> FROM "E:\backup_folder" TAKEN AT 20090617164332 TO "Q:" INTO <SID> NEWLOGPATH "F:\" WITH 2 BUFFERS BUFFER 1024 PARALLELISM 1 WITHOUT PROMPTING;
After running this command I get SQL0902C A system error (reason code = "") occurred. Subsequent
SQL statements cannot be processed.
sqlcode: -902
sqlstate: 58005
Some background information: I'm running this procedure to do a migrate the database from a 32 bit to 64 bit.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to run any other commands or prep on the detination system before running the restore command?

One other thing you might have wanted to check was the physical memory on the target machine. Does the target have the same amount of memory as the source? If it is much smaller, sometimes there can be issues with starting up the database on the smaller machine. There is an instance level registry setting you can use to reduce the amount of bufferpool memory the database wants to use.
Another issue I have seen is that you may want to restore a 32-bit backup to a 32-bit instance. You can then upgrade then instance and database to 64-bit.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize this thread was 2 months old.

Homogeneous system copy using database specific tools

My enviroment is ECC6/Oracle 10.2.0.2/Solaris 10
I'm attempting my first system copy (central instance ABAP) using database specific tools from my PRD to my QAS system
in the source system I ran sapinst and proceed as follows
Execution of Service SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 > Software Life-cycle options > system copy > oracle > source system export >
central system > based on AS ABAP ? Database Instance Export
The export creates two folders and an file ie ABAP, JAVA & LABELIDX.
The folder ABAP is empty while JAVA has three files.see details below. I have a feeling something is not right ?
Kindly advice before I proceed with database offline backup and importation in the target system

According to the system copy documents I've gone through I expect to see the following
in the export directory
=> structure with label files and source system information
=> database structure files (*.STR) for ABAP database objects
=> database statistics
=> Size calculation for the target database (*.EXT, DBSIZE.XML)
=> Archiving of the SDM
=> Archiving of application specific file system content
I get a dialog box message that the export has completed successfullu but only two phases were done ie
=> NW_export
=> Prepare To export Java

Thanks Mark
I'll proceed with the import & inform you about the outcome
My QAS system is the transport domain controller i.e. it hosts the transport directory /usr/sap/trans
What happens to pending transports after system copy ? Is there a way I can retain them or do I have to advice my users to complete pending requests so that I can import all of them before proceeding .
what happens to the CUA configurations in my 3 tier system landscape after I overwrite QAS ? I will make a note of all the RFC's & thier configuration details just incase I need to recreate them

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!

>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.

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.

How to implement for sap system use HADR

hi expert ，
       i am a newbie to sap basis， we have a requirement that do HA for our sap using HADR，i want know if there are some good sulotion for my scenario。
   our scenaro is we have two window 2008 sever host，one host has a sap system and we want the sap db2 database as a primary，and the other host also has a same the system which is restore from the previous sap system which we implement by system copy using database restore not migration。i want know as our secanrio could i achive SAP application HA by HADR，if we donu2018t have HA software like MSCS。whether we must manual monitor the primary sap   when it stop because any issue like hardware failed and then manual start the other sap system in the other host？
our two sap system have different sap profile beacause the hostname are different.
our aim is when one of our host can't use we can immediate start the other sap system in the other host, the less the change the better the solution .
is it possible?
thanx very much,
best regards.

hi paul ,
    thanx for your information，i have already read the inforamtion about sg247363 once-over and SAMP。 but unfortunately we have a different situation，we only have two windows servers and must installed windows server 2008 OS because some reasons。we also don't have have other host to install sap。as this situation，how could we implement HA beacuse we also don't have shared disk。the window server are isolation。
i also read some pdf which download from sdn ， in the book the HA is implemneted as the sap application has a separate host and has two host for DB2 database using HADR，the HA is rely the cluster software 。in this situation the sap application also need HA to avoid single point failure。
    as the limited i have said above， is it possible to do HA by MSCS ，can any body tell me if the MSCS is free to install in OS windows 2008？ if we can't use it free，have any other solution？in the worst ， we must manual monitor the application and when a sap application or database can't work ，we want to restart the other sap which in the other host，we need the database synchronization between two database which using HADR。is it possible ？if it do， whether there are some additional setup for sap application because the two sap application have different sap profile name（a sap is a system copy from the other by database restore）。
    any reply will be appreciated。

How to perform system copy using standard sap method (sapinst)

Hi guys
pls tel how to perform system copy using standard sap method (sapinst) and to perform enterprise portal RESTORSTION.
thanks
kamal

Hi Kamal,
I have done a system copy of the production portal to a sandpit system before. The system copy export import method works very well, and is easy. For my portal, the whole procedure took me less than 6 hours.
1. Go to this page: System Copy and Migration
2. See the videos "Demo: How to Perform a System Copy Export" and "Demo: How to Perform a System Copy Import".
This should give you the basic idea.
I did a systemcopy using sapinst. If I remember right, this is the steps I performed:
1. On target host, Installed a new Central services.
2. On source host: Ran sapinst system copy export for Central Instance and Database instance. This created two export files (depending on your database size).
3. Used the export files created in previous step to run the import step in target host.
4. Some post processing steps, like configuring sso, creating systems in system landscapes, configuring WD JCos etc.
Let me know if you need more help.
Cheers
Rishi

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.

Please, advice.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Thanks Manoj for your advice.
We had already checked the procedures, we are working based on the System Copy Guide: "System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 ABAP+Java".
I had to mention that source and target systems are HP-UX, 11.23, Itanium and the DataBase is Oracle 10.2.02.
The copy was made from a Central System (ABAP + Java) to a High-Availability System (ABAP + Java), and the problem appeared when copying the Central Instance.
Thanks in adavance.

Document for heteregenous system copy.

hi SAP Expert,
Currently my system was running os as400 db2/udb 4.7x200, i would like to go the migration to w2003 sql2005, any document can be provided? thanks.
Regards
Hariyono

Hello,
there is whole series of documents for migration...
Most critical document is system copy guide:
http://service.sap.com/instguides / SAP NetWeaver / SAP NetWeaver Components (before SAP NetWeaver 2004) / SAP Web Application Server / Release 6.30
There you will need "System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP Web AS 6.30" but also check other documents.
You will also need installation guides:
http://service.sap.com/instguides / SAP Business Suite Applications / SAP ERP / SAP R/3 Enterprise / <release>
Of course you will need to read a lot of SAP notes - for example following:
Note 677447 - INST: System Copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS 6.30
It is also important to study best practice documents like following:
Note 886102 - System Landscape Copy for SAP NetWeaver BW
and this one as well:
http://service.sap.com/solutionmanagerbp / document 062 - SAP System Landscape Copy for SAP NetWeaver and SAP Solutions
There you will find a lot of links to other SAP notes and documents.

Hi,
Thnx a lot for the suggestion Markus
I have created the directories required.
The SAP installation has started, but now I am getting the message as below during the ORACLE DB Installation phase,when I run the Oracle ./RUNINSTALLER in Bash Unix:-
[orasmd@SOLMAN SAP]$ ./RUNINSTALLER
oracle_stage is not set (OK)
oracle_base is not set (OK)
oracle_home is not set (OK)
oracle_sid is not set (OK)
oracle_home_name is not set (OK)
oracle_inst_group is not set (OK)
from_location is not set (OK)
tmp_netca_file is not set (OK)
tmp_dbca_file is not set (OK)
Working in /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP ...
The environment variable ORACLE_HOME is not set! abort ...
I have set the ORACLE_HOME env variable as below:-
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/SMD/102_64
export ORACLE_HOME
But I get the same message again as above.
Do we need to set the ORACLE_HOME env variable in the BASH_PROFILE directly??? Coz I heard that if we set it with the Export command then the env is set only for the current instance and not permanently.
If so what is the exact entry I need to make in the BASH_PROFILE???

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

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.
