Database copy from EP prd to EP qas

Hi Portal Experts,
We had deployed java patches on Quality system but not yet Production. Before deployment we had backup (/usr/sap/SID) & database on Qas . Now we are facing lot problems with functionality and configurations. So we tried to restore back system with backup data but we failed to restore it database level but we can able to restore file system (/usr/sap/SID). So Now we are planning to copy database from Production to Quality system.How can I get db level from Production to Quality? Please provide me solution for my problem.I am awaiting a lot for right process...
Thanks.

What are you wanting to copy? without knowing that we cant tell you what profile to use.
Regardless, you can import data from tables in PRD that do not exist in QAS - hence the error. You need to import the transports FIRST that relate to any and all changes to the tables/structures, then run the client copy with the profile based on the type of data you want.
Clients copies are not used to 'create' systems, only 'refresh'

  • Remove mailbox database copy from DAG

    Hi There,
    We would like to remove the mailbox database copy from our exchange server as we are lack of the space on our fixed vhd and we hope to be able to free about 100GB from the passive database copies as we have deployed DAG. is there any guidelines or procedures
    to safely remove the database copies? currently, we have 4 mailbox servers, HQMB01, HQMB02, SSMB01, and SSMB02. HQMB01 and HQMB02 is already part of DAG members by itself. however, on ssmb01 and ssmb02, we also add in HQMB01 and HQMB02 as the DAG member,
    thus they can fail over to HQMB01 or HQMB02 if their server have issue. in this situation, SSMB01 and SSMB02 passive copies is also inside our HQMB01 and HQMB02. As the our HQMB01 and HQMB02 is lack of the disk space and we would like to remove SSMB01
    and SSMB02 from the DAG, thus we could remove the passive database copies. The following is the picture of the activation preference for all servers. what is the procedures and the guidelines to remove mailbox database copy and also remove the server from
    the DAG members? we are quite confuse and worry that after we are removing wrongly and cause the active database to lost as we understand that there is replication happening between them. as we have 4 mailbox servers from which server we should perform
    the task? Wish to get some advises from the exchange guru from this forum. we are on exchange server 2010 sp1 and windows server 2008 R2.Thanks so much.

    Hi Exchange Guru,
    thanks so much for the prompt response..i have few queries to ask following your guidelines above:
    1. from the show result above, I am still confuse which server that I should go to remove as this is involving 4 database copies. from what I understand from the truncation or replay lag times of SSDB01 and SSDB02, I can see that HQMB01 and HQMB02 are on
    the third and fourth preference, which means that SSDB01 and SSDB02 will be able to failover to each of them when there is a failure and it cause the passive copies of both of SSDB01 and SSDB02 to be stored in the HQMB01 and HQMB02. what my purpose
    is to remove both SSDB01 and SSDB02 passive copies in HQMB01 and HQMB02. in this case, should I login to SSDB01 or SSDB02 mailbox servers to perform the removal with your guidelines above?
    2. is the command as below:
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01HQMB02 -Confirm:$False
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB02 -Confirm:$False 
    will this cause the risk either of my HQDB01, HQDB02, SSDB01, and SSDB02 active copies accidentally  being removed? I am sorry that I am a bit naggy and always want a confirmation as this is very critical and I must be super careful.
    3. If after the removal successful, when is the best time to go to the drive where the passive copies stored and remove them so I can clear some space on  my disk? and is it just as simple by going to the drive and do a folder file deletion manually?
    because I just worry when I delete the file and the server is still replicating between each other, which will cause even corruption to the active database.
    4. From point 3, you mention about when the server is empty. what do you mean by that? do you mean that when the passive copies are no more there? and what command that I used to check?
    5. From point 4, is removing the server from DAG the last step to be performed? yes, I want to remove them from DAG, thus will left only HQMB01 and HQMB02 as one DAG and SSMB01 and SSMB02 as one DAG.
    Thank so so much for your patient and attention.

  • Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

    Hello Team
    is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing  and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
    normaly procedure is
    Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
    is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

    From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another.  Your note
    about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
    add a database copy on that third server?  Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy.  This way, you never lose your redundancy.
    Yes i can add the third and fourth  serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
    and also currently my lab setup is  two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
    and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
    and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
    i want the  mailbox database copies from the mailbox server  database  in SITE A  to
    Mailbox server database in  SITE B as  passive copy
    That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
    Hope you understand my situation!

  • SWL Database copy from 2005 to 2008

    Hello,
    I'm moving my ECC6.0 from a SQL2005 based system to a new cluster running Windows2008 and SQL 2008. I already copied the system using the modified NW70 master installation DVD with using option
                   -> Software Life-Cycle Options
                      -> System copy
                        ->MS SQL Server
                          -> Target System Installation
                             -> High-Availability System
                             -> Based on AS ABAP
    After tunning and testing my system in the last days, I plan to go live next weekend. I will backup my PRD database and restore it in the new system. Then I will put it in production.
    My question is: After restoring the database, how do I complete the system copy? Using "Sap tools for SQL server" as described in OSS note 683447, or using the sapinst in the modified NW70 master installation DVD using option
                   -> Software Life-Cycle Options
                      -> System copy
                        ->MS SQL Server
                          -> Target System Installation

    MNy source is a 2005 cluster, and my destination is a 2008 cluster.
    Thank you
    Best regards
    Paulo

    Hello Paulo
    Sorry for the late reply!
    This Note 683447 - SAP Tools for MS SQL Server  is not relevant with the Basis 7 as you inquired about the SAP Tools.
    This applies only to SAP basis versions 6.40 or earlier.
    You have successfully installed the Clustered which need to restore the data from the old cluster without any repeating the installation steps.
    As i disscused above that if you have DB and SAP has same instances then you can restore the data to the newly server.
    If not then you have to use the System copy option with database dependent to prepare your cluster again!

  • Differences between client copy with sap_all and database copy

    What's the difference between client copy with sap_all and doing a database copy.
    I know if I do a database copy from Production to our Quality system.
    I need to install the license key
    restore the production library to the quality library
    Initialize TMS and so on.
    I know if I want to copy to our Development system. I would need to run either a remote client copy or and export/import since I cannot do a database copy because I would loose all my other clients in Development.
    My question is, if the quality systems and the production systems are on the same support packs, same kernel.
    What does a database copy give you (besides being faser) that a remote client copy or export/import of a client copy does.
    Any differences
    Thanks
    Joe

    Hello Joe,
    If there is inconsistent Z tables between QAS and PRD, remote client copy could fail, especially when the table on PRD has longer length or more fields than the one on QAS.
    Also the source client should has no-activity during the client copy, otherwise the application data could be inconsistent. For example, some material documents are copied, but not the corresponding financial documents. (For PRD client, it could be hours between the times those tables are copied.) For database restore, it is rarely an issue.

  • Database copy procedure

    Hello All,
    How can I copy my PRODUCTION server data to DEVELOPMENT server.
    Prd Server System Information.
    Database: Maxdb 7.5
    Operating system: Win 2k3 SP2
    Database size : 57GB
    Development server has same configuration of PRD server
    should i directly restore PRD offline backup to  Dev server. Will it work?
    Please guide me...
    Best regards
    Amol

    Hi Amol,
    Ideally I shall not recommend you to make database copy from PRD to DEV since all the version management in the development system will be lost by doing this.
    For your question:
    Development server has same configuration of PRD server
    should i directly restore PRD offline backup to Dev server. Will it work?
    Yes. It will work.
    Alternate solution
    As you are interested in copying PRD data to development, I would suggest you to create a new client in Development system and perform client copy from PRD to Development (new client) with SAP_ALL profile.

  • Database copy seeding fails

    Hi,
    I am trying to add a mailbox database copy from server1 to server2. Every time after seeding the status of the second copy is shown as 'Failed'. In the event log i can see one error message as given below :
    The required log file 374413 for BInew\EX02 is missing on the active copy. If you removed the log file, please replace it. If the log file is lost, the database copy will need to be reseeded using Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy.
    I have tried reseeding many times both from console and shell.
    Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity "Binew\EX02" -DeleteExistingFiles
    Is this the reason for the replication getting failed.I have never deleted any log file from server1.
    Please help!

  • License key problems with database copy

    Hi all - we are refreshing ECC 6.0 QA/Test system with a database copy from our DR system that is replicated from production with MIMIX. Problem with license key is that in SLICENSE the system number is from the DR system, but the QA system should have a different system number. When I go out to OSS, the existing license doesn't work because system number doesn't match what is in system data for QA system.  We recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C and didn't have this problem before.
    TIA,
    -Margie

    Hi again - finally figured it out, it's the difference between Old License and New License. We got an old license to install.

  • BW System copy from PRD to DEV - Reduce database size

    Hi All
    We are in the process of copying our existing Production BW system (3.5) to become a new Development & test system. We want to reduce the database size significantly from 1.4 Tb to about 150 - 200 Gb. We have deleted all cube and ODS data as well as much of the master data but still have much tablespace tied up in monitor entries (eg table RSMONMESS) and IDOCs. All of the notes I read say that we cannot delete from RSMONMESS in a "Prodcution" environment, however we are creating a new DEV system and really need to get rid of monitor entries anyway. So there are two questions:
    1. Any idea how we can clear up table RSMONMESS or delete unwanted monitor entries ?
    2. How can we delete IDOCs copied from our production system without archiving them ? (They are of no use in our new test system.)
    Please help.
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    Hi Paul,
    See SAP Note 694895 - Performance and tables RSMON, RSDONE
    Note Language: English Version: 5 Validity: Valid Since 29.11.2005
    Summary
    Symptom
    Tables RSMON* (for example, table RSMONMESS) and tables RS*DONE (for
    example, table RSSELDONE) continuously increase in size in the BW system
    with each request that is created.
    Currently there is no option to reduce these tables.
    Do not delete any entries from these tables. If you did, this would have
    the following consequences:
    When you carry out the next check for the requests for which you have
    deleted records from these tables, the check will not run properly.
    The status of the relevant requests turns RED in the monitor, and also in
    all affected data targets that contain the request.
    The affected request and all subsequent requests are no longer visible in
    the reporting - all queries on the affected data targets then only display
    old data.
    Numerous dumps will occur in various situations.
    You will not be able to repair the errors caused by the deletion.
    More Terms
    RSMONMESS; RSSELDONE; Performance; RSMON; RSDONE;
    Cause and Prerequisites
    This is caused by a program error.
    Solution
    In the next BW release (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s - that is BW 7.0), you
    will be able to archive entries from the RSMON* and RS*DONE tables using a
    request archiving process that archives the administrative information for
    requests.
    After archiving, these tables are then considerably reduced in size.
    Until then, there is unfortunately no option for reducing the tables.

  • When creating system copy of PRD sistem to QAS system how to create transpo

    when creating system copy of PRD sistem to QAS system how to create transport request queue on QAS with:
    everything transported to QAS previously but
    not transported to PRD.
    We have an approval procedure with delete form queue on QAS after import.
    Basically all tr.req from import queue(there I do not have delete from import queue) should be entered in same sequence to QAS.
    I know how to add technically one transport request to queue but how to do that for many(all)

    Jan
    Check the import history of both QAS and PRD from a date which is just after your previous system copy.
    Use the V-lookup function of MS Excel. You can determine those request which were there in QAS but have not been moved to PRD yet.
    Now, if you want to add multiple request in the import queue , I would recommend to do it from OS level but writing a script.
    You will find multiple threads in SDN for how to add request in import queue from OS level. Below one might be helpful
