Database copy in iseries servers

Hi,
I have a query.
On I Series AS/400 system, we need to refresh production system (P04) to exsting quality system (Q04).
database size of P04 is around 250 GB. Remote CLient copy is not feasible as it will take days to complete.
In case of database copy, save P04data library to tape in production system. Then restore P04data from tape to Quality system. Replace existing Q04data library with P04data library. is it possible?
If not then what is the procedure to delete existing Q04 system in order to perform Homogenous copy.

Hi Sailesh,
There is another forum called "SAP on DB2/UDB on i5/OS" - i5/OS is the new name of AS/400 and iSeries.
CL program to refresh SAP instance
have a CL program to refresh WAS ABAP.
Good luck,
Victor

Mailbox Database Copy Status Failed

We have 2 Exchange 2010 servers. We run a DAG. Recently I have noticed that database copy DB2 which is located on Exch-1 is showing "Failed". Database copy DB1 which is located on Exch-2 is showing Healthy. I searched online
for information regarding the issue with the failed database copy. I found information that led me to run these commands.
Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity “Mailbox Database XXXXX\Server Name”
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity “Mailbox Database XXXXX\Server Name” -DeleteExistingFiles
It went thru the seeding process and completed but the database copy still shows "Failed". Copy Q Length is 19. I have refreshed the console. What else do I need to do to correct this? I did recently shut down Exch-2 server
for maintenance. thanks

Hi,
It's glade to hear the good news. Thanks for your updating.

Cannot add mailbox database copy to DR site - .edb file not getting created

I have a DR site setup that I want copies of 4 of my mailbox databases. 3 of the mailbox databases copied over successfully but the last and largest one which is really not that large 69Gbs keeps failing when i Update the database copy. Seems
to not be creating the .edb file. Is there another way to get the .edb file over to the server, possibly manually copying it then doing and update database copy? I have my backups turned off on all the servers that have the mailbox role on it now
thinking that was causing some issues with the database copy? Any suggestions is appreciated, thanks.
Michael Duhon

Yes manually copy the edb file and paste them in the DR server . Then try to update with for the incremental of database copy. Verify the database is clean shutdown that you are moving to the DR site.

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.
Regards,
Henry

Cannot seed a new database copy

I am setting up databases on a 3-node DAG. I had created one database (DB1) and put copies of it on the other two servers, then I received and configured additional disk space and wanted to move the database to that.
I was able to create a new database (DB2) on the newly configured drive and successfully create copies on the other two servers. However, I am having trouble after moving DB1. I deleted the two copies of DB1 and then successfully moved DB1
to its new paths for the database and logs on the server EXCH1. When I try to create copies of DB1 on the server EXCH2, I get the following error:
The seeding operation failed. Error: An error occurred while performing the seed operation. Error: Failed to notify
source server 'Exch1.mycorp.com' about the local truncation point. Hresult: 0xc8000713. Error: Unable to find the

Based on things I read, I have tried dismounting and remounting DB1 and even restarting the Information Store.
Do any of you know what the problem is? I assume it may have something to do with previously having copies of DB1 in a different path on EXCH2 and EXCH3, but I don't know where to go from here.
Thank you for your help again.

Hi,
From the error message, this tells us that there is either a corrupted log file or a broken sequence in the logs on the active server that is EXCH1.
Please dismount the database DB1 on the active server EXCH1 and clear the logs files, mount and then try add database copy on EXCH2 server.
First please use the eseutil /mh command to check if the database is in clean shutdown state.
If it is clean shutdown, create a folder called OLD Logs and move all files except for the “.EDB” file into that folder.
Remount this database and add database copy.
If the issue persists, please check the application log to see if there is any related error message.

Homogeneous Database copy without tape restoration

Hi all,
I have AIX 5.3 servers with Oracle as databse. I am supposed to do database copy on a new server from an already existing server. However there ios no tape connectivity to that server. But both the servers are on same SAN. How is it possible to do database copy. Both would be same OS and same Database. Please tell me what are the steps to be taken for database copy.
Regards,
Priya

Hi,
Do the following:
1. Take Latest Offline/Online Oracle DB Backup of that Source System, from which you want to copy DB.
2. Copy that Offline/Online Oracle DB Backup Fille and Backup log file (*.anf) of that Source System to the Target System, on its free available local disk space.
3. Perform Homogeneous System Copy using Oracle DB Restore method:
     3.1 Restore Target Oracle DB using that Source Oracle DB with the help of BRRESTORE command.
     3.2 Backup Control Files from Source System and Change it according to the Target System directory structure before applying to to Target System.
     3.3 Perform Recovery using available Offline redo-log files (if you have restored Online Backup)
All above mentioned steps are well described in this useful document "[Homogeneous System Copy using Online/Offline Database Backup|http://www.basisconsultant.com/component/remository/Sytem-Copy-Guides/Homogeneous-System-Copy-using-OnlineandOffline-Backup/]" with proper understanding. Download it with simple registration and Please read it carefully and follow the steps mentioned in that guide.
Upon error, post your message.

Javascript error in BEx after system database copy

Hello,
we made a database copy of our BW 3.1 system on another hardware. After having done everything described in the How-To-Guide "Enable SAP BW Web functionality", we called the BEx via URL. The login screen displays and also the Report menu, but there occur JavaScript errors on the page, that didn't occur in the copy master. E.g.
"SAPBWSSgdo is null or not an object" or
"SAPBWItemCatalog undefined".
These errors prevent the choice menu for BW report value options to be displayed, which is quite annoying. Does anybody know where the error might come from? Are there any components required by BEx which weren't copied with the database copy?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Volker Hofmann

Hi Beat,
thanks you're helping me! The MIME-Repository objects like JS-Files, stylesheets and images can be read. The strange thing is:
The J2EE engine is hosted by a provider. When they're calling the BEx web reports, they're displayed correctly. But when we call them (via proxy!), the error occurs. Even the application management doesn't know where the error comes from, after having checked if the proxy caches old data. The error is still not resolved...
Do you have another idea?
Regards,
Volker

SQL Developer Database Copy truncates DATE columns

Hope someone can help me. I want to copy all object from one schema to another schema in my Database. I have used the "tools - Database Copy" utility and it copies all of the objects and data however when I query the DATE columns in the destination schema the time element has been truncated? Why has this happened?
tab_h contains a column h_date of type DATE
Query
SELECT TO_CHAR(H_DATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from tab_h;
returns
02-07-2012 09:54:14
from the source table
yet returns
02-07-2012 00:00:00
from destination schema? This is the case for all DATE columns in the tables.
I noticed this was happening in 3.0.04.34 and I upgraded to 3.1.07.42 and it still happens.
Thank you

Maybe there's a problem getting the OS settings right; try to add this to \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf:
AddVMOption -Duser.region=USIf that works, you can try others closer to you.
Hope that helps,

How to Create a database copy and specify the source database.

Hello,
In my dag environment I would like to create a new database copy and specify the source. My company has database copies in 2 locations. Instead of transferring the data from one location to the other, I would like to specify the source be the copy that is
in the same location.
Thank you,

Hi,
We can create a mailbox database, then run EMC and EMS to create a database copy.
More details about Add a Mailbox Database Copy, for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298080(v=exchg.141).aspx
Note: please pay attention to Prerequisites section, for example:
1. The specified Mailbox server must not already host a copy of the specified mailbox database.
2. The server hosting the specified database and the server that will host the database copy must both be in the same database availability group (DAG). The DAG must also have quorum and be healthy.

Database limit warning when creating database copy

Exchange 2010 Standard SP3 RU3.
2 Server mailbox DAG.
I have 5 mailbox databases mounted. I have a copy of each database. WHen I try to create a copy for the 5th mailbox database I get the following warning "Server has reached the maximum database limit of 5.
Looking at my server, There was an old database that was never used in the exchange directory but its not listed in the EMC.
Is it possible that information about an old database still exists in AD? Where can I verify in Adsiedit what exchange databases it sees?

Hi,
One server limited to 5 databases in Exchange 2010 Standard edition.
So, from the description of your screenshot I summary the following information:
The following databases stayed on NASD-MBX1:
Mailbox Database Admin
Mailbox Database Faculty
Mailbox Database Faculty Large
Mailbox Database Faculty Medium
Mailbox Database Faculty Small (Mounted)
The following databases stayed on NASD-MBX2:
Mailbox Database Admin (Mounted)
Mailbox Database Faculty (Mounted)
Mailbox Database Faculty Large (Mounted)
Mailbox Database Faculty Medium (Mounted)
Public Folder Database (It should be here, right?) (Mounted)
Now, if we try to make a copy of “Mailbox Database Faculty Small”,
it will be available as a passive database copy on NASD-MBX2. However, there are five Database mounted on NASD-MBX2 including the Public Folder Database. So it will
get the error “Server has reached the maximum database limit of 5”. We can delete the Public Folder Database to test it.
In ADSIEdit, please refer the following image to find these databases.
Best Regards.

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!

Hello,
You may run the following cmdlets one by one:
Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy <databaseName>\<ReplicaServerName>
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy <databaseName>\<ReplicaServerName> -SourceServer <ActiveServerName> -DeleteExistingFiles:$True
Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy <databaseName\<ReplicaServerName>

Database copy dropped objects in source schema

I was seeking out a quick way to copy an entire schema from one db to another and I was happy when I found the "database copy" feature. I checked the documentation and found that all I needed to do was select the source connection, the target connection, and choose either create, truncate, or drop objects. Well I had some objects in the source db from a previous failed attempt at copying all the objects via script. To remedy that the drop objects option, according to the documentation " Drops any existing table with the same name, and then creates and loads it from the source." Ok, great. The summary shows up with a bunch of entries which I didn't pay too much attention too. Fine, continue...running....progress...so far so good..and the log shows up. I see drops, I see moving data, and I see a whole bunch of errors with no useful information with them. Check the target schema...nothings there, all objects are dropped. Ok, lets have a look at the source and see whats going on. Refresh tables...nothing...refresh...refresh...nothing. The source schema has all its objects GONE too! One lonely type is saved in the source schema, that's it. Am I a total moron and misinterpreting how database copy works? Can anyone shed some light on this? Anyway to recover my source objects? As the source db is not production I am out of luck as there is no recent backup.
Source: 9i
Target: 11g
sql developer v 2.1.1.64.45
-j

OK the problem was that my target connection was inadvertently pointing to the source. It was set properly before but stuff went bad and i switched the connection from TNS to basic, then back to TNS. Apparently when switching back to TNS the wrong entry was selected. Not sure if I chose it or it was selected from a different connection. In any case, very stupid of me.
thanks K.
