Heterogeneous System Copy from MS SQL to Oracle 11g

Good day friends,
I am currently in the stage of running SAPINST to continue the System Copy to the Target (i.e. the export is complete).
This may seem like a rudimentary question, but I am trying to implement Oracle 11g as the new database (and the SAP version of ECC 5). Now when I execute the sapinst, I only get the option for the Client on 9.2 and the RDBMS on 10.2.0.4.
I would like to specify 10.2 for the Client and 11g for the RDBMS, but those options are not included in the SAPINST. What must I do to get these options in the SAPINST?
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks.

I have run a system export from MSSQL and Windows Server, and I wish to run the import to Red Hat 5.4 and Oracle 11g.
I have used the latest ECC 5 Installation Master disk, which still does not have the option to install Oracle 11g. In fact, it only has the option to install Oracle 10g with an Oracle Client version 9. Surely there must be a newer option with Oracle Client 10?
Here is the product code for the Inst Master I downloaded.

Heterogeneous system copy from MSSQL to Oracle

Dear Experts,
I have performed ABAP+JAVA system copy R3load based from Oracle to Oracle and MSSQL to MSSQL platform.
Homogeneous system copy many times.
But this is first time i am perfoming an Export from MSSQL source system with r3load Export method .....My Target system is havign Oracle 10.2.0.2 software installed along with installation prerequisites.
But while Importing the same MSSQL Export ...I am not getting any option for heterogeneous system copy.
I am running on ECC6.0 windows platform and i also have generated Migartion KEY.
But where should i put this key.
I have gone through system copy guide many times but unable to understand Exact options to follow to Migrate to Oracle target system. Appreciate if anyone can give me detail steps i need to carry on Target system

Markus,
Thanks for the help, i have done Export with mentioned way and this time DBSIZE.xml file got created under ORA directory ....i started installation at target system....It went smooth until phase Import java Dump Done. .....But during Post load activities It gave error...

Possible migration(Heterogeneous system copy) combination

Dear all
Currently we're planning to do Heterogeneous system copy
from the following source(current system) and target.
Source : R/3 4.6C + Oracle 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3
Target : R/3 4.6C + Oracle 10.2 on Windows 2003
For the target system, i checked the PAM in Service Marketplace
and it seems that R/3 4.6C + Oracle 10.2 on Windows 2003 is supported.
But i'm not sure whether this source - target combination is possible
in Heterogeneous system copy.
To summarize, here are 2 questions.
1) Where can i find Heterogeneous system copy combination?
(OS/DB combination which supports Heterogeneous system copy in R/3 4.6C)
2) Is the above Source - Target combination is possible?
Best Regards.
Ahn

> Source : R/3 4.6C + Oracle 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3
> Target : R/3 4.6C + Oracle 10.2 on Windows 2003
Yes - this is possible and supported. But keep in mind:
- you must have a certified migration consultant doing the migration. If you do it on your own, you'll loose support for problems during the migration and for the target system --> SAP will bill help (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ)
- 4.6c is out of general support; you may need to buy extended support to get the migration kit

System copy from SAP R/3 47x110 with Oracle 10.2 to Oracle 11.2

Hello,
I want to do a system copy from SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise 47x110 with Oracle 10.2 to a new machine with same SAP version but with oracle 11.2. (After this I will upgrade to ERP 6.0)
I will do this with export/import but I don't find any documentation (manuals or notes).
I only find this:
Note 1499877 - Oracle 11.2 for R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext. Set 1.10
but this note is only for a new installation, I don't know if this work with system copy
Note 516246 - INST- System Copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS 6.20
This don't have information about oracle 11.2
I read the manual "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP® Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20" but this also don't say nothing about oracle 11.2
Can you help me? Where can I find this documentation and what DVDs (master and kernel) should I use?
Best regards

Hi Juan,
Thanks for your answer.
That is my doubt, what installation master shoud I use for export oracle 10.2 and import in oracle 11.2?
Note "1499877 - Oracle 11.2 for R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext. Set 1.10" say that I can use installation master of R/3 4.7 Set 2 (47x200) to install a new system.
I found this media:
51033746_9 Installation Master 6.20/6.40 Linux on x86_64 64bit
and
51040087_7 NW 04 SR1 Inst. Mst. Linux x86_64 64bit f. Oracle 10.2/11.2
I think this is the note that I need:
Note 1478351 - Oracle 11g Support on UNIX: 6.40-Based SAP Systems

Homogeneous system copy from ORacle 10.2 to 11.2 ?

Hello,
We are moving our SAP infrastructure to a new datacenter.
We are currently running 15 SAP systems (ABAP and J2EE) on HP-UX 11.23, Oracle 10.2 and are planning to relocate our
SAP instances on HP-UX 11.31 ( Oracle 11.2 Ready) but we intend to stay on Oracle 10.2 and then in a few months upgrade to Oracle 11.2, to benefit from full SAP support.
We will be using the homogenous system copy technique.
Is it possible to perfrom an homogeneous system copy from Hp-UX 11.23 Oracle 10.2 to HP-UX 11.31 to Oracle 11.2 ?
I am quite certain that I have read a similar discussion on SDN, but I can't find it anymore.
Thank you very much.
Regards

Hi,
You can check compatibility via PAM section on SAP Market place.
however , it is allowed to migrate to below new combination considering your SAP platform as NW 7.0.

Error during Heterogeneous System Copy - Phase 18 Import ABAP

Hello gurus,
I´m facing an error during the Target Installation in a Heterogeneous System Copy (Migration). The system SAP is a SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 (Unicode and Abap+Java).
Source server:
Operation System: Windows 2003 Server x64
Database: SQL Server 2008 SP01
Target server:
Operation System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) X64
Database: Oracle DB 10.2g (10.2.0.4)
I already did the all procedures in export database and all that looks fine!
At this point I´m running the system copy procedure through SAPInst on target server (RHEL / Oracle) but in phase 18 - Import ABAP the sapinst stops... (by the way in procedure bar, I can see "Import Monitor jobs: running 0, waiting 1, completed 0, failed 18, total 19")
I checked three log files (sapinst_dev.log ; sapinst.log ; SAPSDIC.log):
SAPSDIC.log:

Error in phase import Homogeneous system copy from a BI 7.3 dual stack ABAPJAVA

Hi
I'm doing a Homogeneous system copy from a BI 7.3 dual stack ABAP+JAVA system with an Oracle DB (11g version, 11.2.0.3.0 patch level) with AIX ibm OS.
Before starting export I've executed in the source system the report SMIGR_CREATE_DDL, as described in sap note 888210, and I generated *.SQL files.
After, during the import in the target system I get the following error message:

hello,
Before anything update DB shared lib, R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk in the target system. Also Check in source system if you have any tables o index missing in db02 transaction, If this system wa upgraded from a previous release please check TAORA and IAORA tables in source system and check all the tablespaces named in those tables are created in the target system.
let me know how it goes.

Symbolic link error when exporting during heterogeneous system copy

My enviroment is ECC6.0/Oracle 10.2.0.2/SUN Solaris 10 . I'm performing heterogeneous system copy to Oracle 10.2.0.2/AIX 6.1 enviroment.
I've succesfully exported & imported two systems ie DEV & Solutin Manager , but PRD system has an OS problem with symbolic links ie Number of symbolic links encountered during path name traversal exceeds MAXSYMLINKS
I want to export both ABAP & JAVA stack but only the java stack is getting picked.
Below is part of the resultng sapinst.log
Thanks

Hi,
In PRD system, u might have craeted many symbolic links in /oracle/PRD fileystem . This should be avoided. Symbolic link should not be created in /oracle/PRD ...
Please check why symbolic links are created and get help from System Operation team . Please becareful to unlink symbolic links that are created by non-SAP. Make sure to perform full offline backup .
Please get the help from Unix System Operation team. Also it does not makes any sense to increase value of Unix parameter for maximum symbolic links.

Homogeneous/heterogeneous system copy

In the homogeneous/heterogeneous system copy guide, I'm told to delete all entries in the tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA, DBSTAIORA and DBSTATTORA.
Why do I need to delete all the entries in these tables? What are the entries in these tables for? What happens if I don't delete the entries from these tables?

Hi Jamal,
I believe you are talking about the tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA,
DBSTATIORA, DBSTATTORA. These tables contain statistical
data (like performance) from the source system. Since that is of no use
in your new system you can delete it with the following command in
SQL*Plus as user sapr3 (or sap<sid> when using Basis >=610)
delete from DBSTATHORA;
Repeat this command for the other tables
or execute being in SQL> prompt
truncate <Tablename>
Hope this helps you to understand the pupose and how to delete them.
Regards
Sekhar

System copy from PRD to QAS based ABAP system EHP4.

Hi guys,
I have to perform homogenous system copy from PRD to QAS.
My PRD is ECC6.0 EHP4 release 701 sp 103( SAP_basis) with oracle ver 10.2.0.4.0.
Is there any specific procedure for EHP4 or i can follow the below mentioned guide.
https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000514722009E.pdf.
What pre-requisite i need to take care before doing the system copy?
Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
All pre-requisite is there in system copy guide.Apart from that take user master backup of quality system and after system copy, import the user master data back so that you have same users in quality system.
Also, take RFC's backup also.
Thanks
Sunny

Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy

Hello Guru's
Greeting ! . . .
I wanted some help regarding Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy.
It would be helpful if you can guide me for an Step by Step procedure for Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System copy. As i have to carry out both of the activity.
Homogeneous:- AIX5.3/Oracle10 to AIX5.3/Oracle10
Heterogeneous:- AIX5.3/Oracle10 to Windows2003/Oracle10
Thanks & Best Regards
Ashish

Hello Ashish,
You can find the guides here in this location.
https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/systemcopy
If you have complete backup then you start you SAPInst on the system on which you want to have systemcopied.
Then when you are starting DB instance then instead of using the Export DVD you need provide the Database which is backed up. There are screens where it will ask you for editing SID you need to specify that during DB instance.
For further processes you can download the corressponding guide from above link.
Thanks & Regards

System copy EP on SQL Server

Hi,
I am trying to perfom system copy from an EP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 production system to a development system.
My production system is a Java only, High Availability system with SQL server.
I have finished the export process using the sapinst tool and I have created a folder EXPORT which I copied to the new server (target system). In the target system (not high availability) I have prepared the OS (windows) and I have installed SQL server. I started sapinst selecting system copy - target system - central system - based on AS Java - central system from sapinst.
After few steps the procedure prompts for "Migration Export" media. I enter the path of the folder that I have copied erlier but I get the following error:
You entered: X:\IMPORT\JAVA Found the label SAP:JMIG:700:::* but need the label SAP:MIGJDMP:700:::*
Onother question that I have is:
Do I have to install the SAP EP first in target systme using normal procedure and then to use the system copy procedure in target system?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
As per SAP Note 151603 :Note 151603 - Copying an SQL Server database,
For Java or ABAP + Java systems that are based on NetWeaver technology lower than Version 7.10,
you must first export parts of the Java source system. For this, you must use the delivered SAP installation master DVD
of your installed SAP release. The export of the Java part into a file is then created using the option 'system copy'.
Have you used the same IM, which is corresponding to your Installed SAP EP release ?

How to: execute operating system commands from PL/SQL

System: IBM pSeries AIX
Oracle: 11g Enterprise
Is there a quick way to execute operating system commands from PL/SQL?
Without creating a JAVA class....
I need to execute a Loader script.
I want to do this from within PL/SQL.
I need to to do 4 things.
Three require SQL scripts.
The fourth is SQL*Loader.
The usual way is with a UNIX script calling 3 SQL scripts and one Loader control file.
Is there way to do all this from within ONE PL/SQL SCRIPT ??
Just let me know.

Is there a quick way to execute operating system commands from PL/SQL?
NO
Without creating a JAVA class....
I need to execute a Loader script.
I want to do this from within PL/SQL.
WHY ON EARTH, such action will create a new connection and become a resource hog?
I need to to do 4 things.
Three require SQL scripts.
The fourth is SQL*Loader.
The usual way is with a UNIX script calling 3 SQL scripts and one Loader control file.
Which is perfect for the purpose.
Is there way to do all this from within ONE PL/SQL SCRIPT ??
Just let me know.
NO, there is NOT. Nor should there be. Why create unstable ineffcient Mickey Mouse systems, glued together by hacking?

I checked the DBSIZE.TPL file as well it is there with full permissions in the following path

Please reply me back
Thank you

What immediately comes to my eyes is the hostname "SAP" - accordign to the installation documentation neither and instance nor a hostname must be named "SAP"....

Help me please to migrate from MS SQL to Oracle

Hi all,
we are in process of migration from MS SQL to Oracle.
Please help me to perform the same in Oracle:
select number+1 as rowid,number*6+1 as rowbeg,number*6+6 as rowend
from master.dbo.spt_values
where type='P'
Our Oracle version:
select * from v$version
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
5 rows selected.

Here is another solution without "connect by":

(et cetera).
This needs the user to have access on all_objects view and it will limit the result upto the numbers of objects returned by the all_objects view.
