[Help] Move ECC system from one server to another - Considerations

Hi Guys
We currently have two SAP ECC 5.0 Instances over DB2 9.7/AIX 6.1 on a same server (WS01), and now we are splitting this, by leaving Development box on WS01 and moving QA to WS08
What would you think/recommend the best approach to fulfill this requirement
Im taking in mind such things like, transport system, RFC connections, Database and SAP Profiles
What steps would you think are mandatory to have QA system fully working on a brand new server
Is an option to install an system from scratch on that new server (WS08), and they restore the actual database and perform the post processing steps just like a refresh, and then adding that system to the actual ECC landscape
Best Regards
Martin

This process is called "system copy".

It's an option but not necessary to first install a full featured system and then "overwrite" the database.
You can install a new system using the database backup of the original system.

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

    You seem to have ignored Dude's VERY good advice and continue to press down this ill-advised path.  If you continue this approach, you WILL have problems at the very time you do not need any additional problems.  Trying to recover your production database at 2:00 in the morning is not the time to be getting errors from rman because it can't find what it needs - because you decided to move them around yourself.
    Please reconsider.

  • Move Web service from one server to another

    Hi
            i am calling a web service from R3 which i have moved from one server to another what i need to do in my web dynpro application as it will call the web service from new location?
    do i need to rebuild the whole application or need to change some settings here and there?
    NOTE: webservice and function module of the web service is not changed just moved from one server to another.
    THANKS
    Ninad

    Hi,
      Try with this code. Dynamically Server will get change.
    Create a HTTP Destination in visual administrator which stores the server name and port.
    String prefixURL = "http://";     
    // your Service Address...remove the first part from service url.
    String serviceURL = "/TestService/Config1?style=document";
    DestinationService dstService = (DestinationService) obj;          
    Destination destination = dstService.getDestination("HTTP","ApplicationServer");
    Properties destprop = destination.getDestinationProperties();
    HTTPDestination httpDestination = (HTTPDestination) destination;
    String serverName = httpDestination.getUrl();
    prefixURL = prefixURL + serverName;
    String testURL = prefixURL + serviceURL;
    Request<Obj> testReq = new Request<Obj>();
    testReq._setEndPoint(testURL);
    You need to import below files into your project.
    import com.sap.security.core.server.destinations.api.Destination;
    import com.sap.security.core.server.destinations.api.DestinationService;
    import com.sap.security.core.server.destinations.api.HTTPDestination;

  • Move a database from one server to another

    Hello All,
    I am using Oracle 11g R2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 32 bit.
    I have 2 servers , LinuxActive and LinuxPassive. I am trying to dismount the file system of the datafiles and control files ... from one server and mount it on the other.
    I previously opened a thread here concerning this subject and reached a result that it can be done, now i have questions about the details.
    I have installed Oracle software on both servers where ORACLE_BASE is /u01/app/oracle and ORACLE_HOME is /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 on both servers.
    I created an orcl database on LinuxActive where all its datafiles, control files, redo logs, flash_recovery_area is on a disk group mounted under /oradata.
    I want to dismount /oradata from LinuxActive and mount it to LinuxPassive and start up the orcl database from LinuxPassive instead of LinuxActive.
    I may need to revert back /oradata to LinuxActive.
    What steps should I do? should I migrate my spfile also to /oradata?
    Should I create an orcl database on LinuxPassive?
    Do I start up my database like i do when i build an Oracle dataguard database ? from a pfile of the old database?

    RMAN duplicate will be simpler.
    As you are in 11g, you can perform duplicate from active database.
    Create PFILE in new location,
    Change "CONTROL_FILES" parameter to new mounpoint.
    Perform RMAN duplicate
    In both the cases you have to take care of parameters, DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT & LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT.

  • How to move EP installation from one server to another server

    Hi All,
    we have a EP server installed. Now we have to move this EP instance onto a different machine. The source and target hardwareosDB would be the same.
    Can some one tell me how to do it.
    Is Homogeneous System Copy a solution for this. Or I have to install a new EP instance on the new server and then copy the contents from the old EP instance?
    If I move the EP instance to the new server then will the portal run normally without any error or will i loose it and have to install it again?
    thanks
    PK

    Hi,
    Q1: Is Homogeneous System Copy a solution for this.
    A1: Yes it is, its quick and works good now a days... (one small remark, I don't know if it still is true but System Copy with 6.40 required that the SID of the Source and Destination could not be the same, so if someone can fill me in on that?)
    Q2: Or I have to install a new EP instance on the new server and then copy the contents from the old EP instance?
    A2: Also a solution but, takes a bit more time and when you want a clone then you need to know exactly what was done when installing the inital system.

  • Script to move data recordings from one server to another automatically

    Hi,
    I have windows server 2003 enterprise edition. The purpose of the server is to record the CCTV footage's and store them on the local hard drive. Currently we are manually copying the recordings to another server using the below script.
    **********ROBOCOPY f:\sourcefolder \\destinationserver\path\  /E /COPYALL /R:1 /W:5 /NP (which is working fine but takes longer time to copy huge files)************
    We want to automate this manual process using scripting (eg. a bat file / powershell script). Kindly suggest on the ways to implement it or how to proceed from here. I am not well versed in scripting and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You can stick with robocopy if you're comfortable with it (and it's easy to schedule). Look into the /mon and /job switches:

  • How move apex from one server to another

    Hi All,
    I am just a beginner who has just started with APEX. Its strange but even though I am just a beginner I was given a task to move the current whole apex system from one server to another.
    Can any one help what the steps do I need to follow to do this?
    I also need to setup backup server to this new server so that in case this new server goes down, the backup one can be made productional.
    I think I should move apex first then move the whole database. Is there any tool or some thing which can do it for me?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    what you are being asked to do would be a complex task for an experienced DBA, which, judging by the way you have asked the questions, you are not, no offence intended.
    As far as I can see you have three options.
    1. Hire a consultant/contractor with the necessary skills to perform the tasks.
    2. Gain several years experience as an Oracle DBA, including Apex, backup and recovery and disaster recovery skills.
    3. Look for a new job.
    Sorry to sound facetious, but it is a ridiculous task you have been given assuming the skill and knowledge level you are coming from. Assuming you have not misrepresented yourself to your employer, this is not your fault and I think you need to seriously push back on your boss if possible.

  • How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    Hi,
    If you would like to move your source models, target models and project contents from Work repository 1 to another work repository.
    I.e. Dev. server to Prod Server.
    1. Firstly, replicate the master repository connections i.e. with same naming conventions manually
    2. Go to Dev. Server work repository -> File Tab -> Click on Export work repository (save it in a folder)
    3. After exporting, you can view the xml files in the folders.
    4. Now, Open the Prod. server and make sure you already replicated mas. rep. details.
    5. Now, right click on model and import source model in synonym mode insert_update (select source model from the folder where your xml file located)
    6. Similarily, import again target then Project.
    Now, check. It should work.
    Thank you.

  • Move VM from one server to another using Local Repositories

    There is the following structure:
    ovhost-01 with first_repo
    ovhost-02 with second_repo
    Oracle VM version: 3.1.1
    Both first_repo and second_repo are Local Repositories.
    On ovhost-01 I have VM named "TestOVM" with status Stopped .
    Task:
    Move VM from ovhost-01 to ovhost-02 using "Clone or Move" section from VM Manager ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-vm-manage.html#vmusg-vm-move )
    Whenever I try VM moving virtual disk stays on the first_repo.
    With shared NFS-storage this feature working well.
    Question:
    Is it possible to move VM from one server to another with Local Repositories ?

    Neither ovhost-01 nor ovhost-02 have access to each other. It move or copy... the admin server that is connected to the local repository would have to have access to the target repository.

  • In contacts app how can I move a contact from one group to another group?

    I find I cannot move a contact from one group to another group. If I delete a contact from one group I delete that contact from my total contact population. I did not have this problem in earlier IOS versions. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks SO much, Barney.  How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
    I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences.  Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us.  I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system.  I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place.  Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    thanks again!

    If they are the same platform/version you should be able to copy the database across as-is. The users directory entries (icsdwphost) will need to be updated to reflect the new hostname for the calendar server.
    As with any move/migration, test and retest.

  • Moving directory with Software Update files from one server to another

    Hi guys,
    I have recently bought a Mac Mini to move on it my test system Mac OS 10.9 with Server 3.0, running on VM.
    My question is:
    Is it possible to move the Software Update packages/directory from one server to another, so I don't need to wait a whole week to have them all downloaded from the Apple servers?
    I assume, if replace all the Software update fodder it is not going to work as there are some kind of index files elsewhere that will not accept that change.
    I haven’t tried any migration assistant as don’t want to replicate the server.
    Any suggestions, please?

    hi Lucas,
    i just stumbled onto this post of yours while searching for solutions for a somehow related issue that's kept me thinking.
    your post isn't new, yet it received no answers... maybe you found a solution already.
    in case you haven't, a possible hint might come from https://discussions.apple.com/message/20478878#20478878
    for the record, i've installed os x server 3.0 on mvrx 10.9 on a 4-year old Intel Core 2 Duo mac mini with 500GB disks.
    in my case, it's the almost 200GB of update files wasting what's left of my storage real estate to press for a solution.
    tried to do what's suggested here, seems to work fine on my system, too. hope this helps.
