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
Best Regards,
AjitR

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...
When i tried connectivity to Oracle database it works fine and
R3trans -d gives below mentioned error....Looks like table does not exist....all ENV variables are also got set at target machine.....

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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.
    Regards

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Michael

  • 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/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

  • 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

    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"....

  • Heterogeneous system copy. Error in SMIGR_CREATE_DDL

    Hello!
    I perform a heterogeneous system copy of RHEL5/Oracle11/ERP6/0 > RHEL6/MaxDB/ERP6.0
    I use the "System Copy Guide for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP + Java". At the stage "4.2 Generating DDL" statements is a problem. I'm doing "Call transaction SE38 and run the program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL."
    But i get error:
    Runtime Errors         DATASET_NOT_OPEN
    Exception              CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE
    Date and Time          20.09.2011 12:16:01
    Short text
         File "/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST" is not open.
    What happened?
         Error in the ABAP Application Program
         The current ABAP program "CL_SMIGR_DDL==================CP" had to be
          terminated because it has
         come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    What can you do?
         Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
         To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
         administrator.
         Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
         at and manage termination messages, and you can also
         keep them for a long time.
    Error analysis
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
        The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE', was not
         caught in
        procedure "WRITE_DDL_TO_FILE" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
         clause.
        Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
        exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
        The reason for the exception is:
        When accessing the file "/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST", the system recognized that
         this file is
        not open. Therefore, the file cannot be accessed.
    How to correct the error
        Before the first access, the file must be opened using the ABAP language
         element "OPEN DATASET '/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST'" and after the last access,
         it must be
        closed using the language element "CLOSE DATASET '/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST'".
        If the error occurred in your own ABAP program or in an SAP
        program you modified, try to remove the error.
        If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
        find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
        If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
        keywords:
        "DATASET_NOT_OPEN" "CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE"
       "CL_SMIGR_DDL==================CP" or "CL_SMIGR_DDL==================CM003"
       "WRITE_DDL_TO_FILE"
       If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
       notification to SAP, include the following information:
       1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
          To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
       (Unconverted)".
    I forgot something to do?

    >      File "/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST" is not open.
    Make sure the user <sid>adm is permitted to write to that directory.

  • System Copy from 32 bit to 64 bit

    hi,
    I have a AS-JAVA System in NW2004s running in 32 bit.
    Since the current machine is very slow and we could not upgrade it , I am planning to make a system copy of this system to 64 bit
    Please let me know whether that is possible in SAP.
    Is there any activitis to be done after the system copy for 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hi Balaji,
    A heterogeneous system copy will accomplish this.  It is considered an OS Migration.  You will need a certified migration consultant on-site if the system to be migrated is a production system, otherwise you will loose support for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration).  You can also see the [System Copy and Migration |System Copy and Migration]section on SDN.
    Best Regards,
    Matt

  • 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.
