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.

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?

Hi,
Use Oracle Database specific method to perform homogeneous system copy.
Along with this reference official [system copy guide|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000416402008E.PDF], You can also refer this [useful doc|http://www.basisconsultant.com/component/remository/Sytem-Copy-Guides/Homogeneous-System-Copy-using-OnlineandOffline-Backup/] for the same to have all required pre-post activities information with more details.

Disc for Java System Copy?

Hello,
Does anyone know which installation master disc to use for a java system (specifically portal 6.0) uses? The documentation I have says to use the NW04 SR1 Installation Master disc.
I have this disc and have applied the installation control patches, the copy control patches, and ISERPACK7.
When I try to do the SDM export, I cannot do so because the path SAP NetWeaver '04 Support Release 1 -> Java System -> <DB> -> Central System -> Migration Database Export does not exist. I get to the 'Central System' portion of the menu, but there's no option to export the DB.
I'm using disc: SAP NETWEAVER 04 SR1 - SAP Installation Master DVD (51031148).
I appreciate any insight as to where I might be going wrong. Thank you.
~TJ

I appreciate everyone's help. SAP Support came through with a solution for me:
Hello TJ,
obviously, the control.xml file delivered with SAP CD/DVD 51032143_1 is
erroneous. However, for "system copy enterprise portal iseries", I foundthe SAP Note 977906, where following statement can be found:
Updating the Installation Master DVD (if required)
In the following cases you must update the "6.20/6.40 Installation
Master (Edition Sept. 2006)" DVD before starting SAPinst:
o you want to install a Java or Add-In system
o you want to do a Java export <-- !!!!!!
Since this is the situation you currently face, I would advise you to
follow the instructions from that SAP Note:
1. Download the attached NW04_09.SAR archive.
2. Extract NW04_09.SAR to the root directory of the copied "6.20/6.40
Installation Master (Edition Sept. 2006)" DVD using SAPCAR.
3. Start SAPinst as described in the installation guide.
That is, you should remove the current installation directory
/usr/sap/SAPinst/NW04/COPY/EXPORT/JAVA/COPY/EXP , and restart the EP
system copy from scratch.

Downtime for Heterogeneous System Copy Export of Source DB2 LUW

Hello,
What is the downtime required for a heterogeneous system copy export of a source database on AIX with DB2 LUW? Here are the following details of the data itself:
DB size: 120 GB used of 240 GB.
Physical server: IBM Power5 quad-core 1.65GHz virtualized
RAM: 9.5GB

> What is the downtime required for a heterogeneous system copy export of a source database on AIX with DB2 LUW? Here are the following details of the data itself:
I suggest you just "try it out" as a test run. It's quite impossible to give estimates based on database sizes. It's possible to migrate roughly 1 TB/hour with appropriate hardware, mostly your harddisks will be the bottleneck.
There are also a number of other factors like number of R3load processes, table splitting or not, parallel export/import etc.
I highly suggest to run the migration a few times before you do the "live" migration.

[SDM] createsdmkitjar and tmpdir for a system copy

Hi,
I'm system copy procedure with backup/restore on Windows Oracle. Now I export JAVA world so from SAPinst I user system copy for source system. I've a problem ... on SDM_HOME I've low free disk space so I would like to use other temp directory. I read 920877 note but how can I change SAPinst to use a tmpdir= parameter ? I try to change control.xml without success.
Regards.
Ganimede Dignan.

Hi, I had the same problem on AIX. I changed control.xml and exports continues OK after restarting sapinst.
I changed the 2 following lines:
sdm.createsdmkitjar(["excludedcomplist=" + exclude, "tofile=" + sdmKitJar]);
by
var sdmKitJartmp = " is a full path to a directory with enough free space.

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

System copy in EP does not ask for Traget Database

Hi,We want to migrate our Enterprise Portal Oracle Database to DB2.
While taking a system copy ,it does not prompt for Traget system atall.
We have successfully migrated ECC and BI Databases where it asked target DB but here it does not prompt,what could be the issue?
Several versions of SWPM are tried but not able to identify the issue.
Has anyone faced such error?
Please advice..

Hi,
For Java system copy, an export of the system has to be created. Are you able to create the export via the Installation Master or SWPM? Please also mention the Netweaver version of the Enterprise Portal.

      2. Target system:
            b) Restore:
            Before the restore, you must initialize the target instance. This initialization formats the log area. Data volumes are only formatted if they are not configured as raw devices and are not available in the configured size.

Problems with Java dialog instance after System Copy

Hi Folks,
I've performed a System Copy from PRD to QAS both ABAP and JAVA Stack (Netweaver 2004s SEM-BW). The ABAP is up and running and the central instance JAVA too. But there was two applications (dialog instances JAVA) that desappeared after the HSC. I can't see them in Visual Administrator and can' t start them as well.
Will you give a hand on it? I know this is a pretty weird situation but if somebody experienced this please help me. As far as I know I've double-check the procedure used for this System Copy and everything has been followed.
Best regards,

Hi Prem,
Yes, this sap note is very useful, but there is no reference to Java Dialog Instance, which in this case SAP said that we need to re-install all Dialog instance, in my case I have two Appl Servers which has Java Dialog Instance installed so I have to re-install twice.

MDM 7.1 installation / system copy

Hi,
New to MDM administration here so please help. I have a MDM 7.1 Production system running on windows and ms sql. Now i need to create a new QA system as a copy of this prod system. I am confused as to whether i should use the archive/unarchive procedure to move the repository content or shall i use the SQL backup/restore to copy the DB. I have about 8-9 small DBs in my MDM system -- around 1 GB each and I have one big DB around 200 GB that I believe has all the master data.
Shall i first copy the DBs and then do MDM installation or shall i only do a fresh install and then archive/unarchive the repositories ?? will archive/unarchive bring over all my data and configuration like connections to PI, ECC system etc ?
Also, i would like to know how to modify the connections etc in MDM to point to the correct QA systems after a system copy ?
Thanks,
BV
