Homogeneous system copy for 4.7.x.1.1 windows/oracle 9.2.0.3.0

Question

I plan Homogeneous system copy for 4.7.x.1.1 windows/oracle at a
customer
downloaded tools(do I have to put extracted files on the sorce machine
in kernel directory?):
MIGMON_2-20001410
MIGMON_2-20001410.SAR
MIGTIME_2-20001410
MIGTIME_2-20001410.SAR
ORABRCOPY_2-20001410
ORABRCOPY_2-20001410.SAR
SAPCAR_5-10002026
SAPCAR_5-10002026.EXE
SPLIT_2-20001410
SPLIT_2-20001410.SAR
I would have additional questions.
1. In note 516246(System copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS 6.20)
it is mentioned to download the latest version of R3LDCTL and apply it
to the system. I have following questions:
under service.sap.com/patches
i found only
R3LDCTL
Support Package SAP KERNEL 4.5B 32-BIT Windows Server on IA32 32bit
ORACLE
Is this file ok?(I will perform a homogeneous system copy of an 4.7x1.1
system)
If the file is ok what is meant as apply?(put it in kernel directory?)
2. Very similar question applies to file R3szchk
under service.sap.com/patches I found only
R3szchk
Support Package SAP KERNEL 4.6C 32-BIT Windows Server on IA32 32bit
ORACLE
Is this file ok?(I will perform a homogeneous system copy of an 4.7x1.1
system)
3.In same note(516246) the SAPinst CD is mentioned. How could I get it?
4.On the Source system I have kernel 640. I guess I have to copy the
content of this directory to the target system also. But in which phase?

Answer 1

hi,
first my question GGG
-> by which means do you plan to copy? brbackup/brrestore? r3copy? r3load?
ad 1.
SAPNet -> Patches -> Add. Components -> SAP Kernel -> 32 BIT (uni oder non-uni depending on your environment) -> SAP Kernel 6.40 32-bit -> Windows Srv -> Oracle -> R3ldctl_6-20000185.SAR (13.07.2006) is the right file (your kernel is 6.40!!!)
ad 2.
SAPNet -> Patches -> Add. Components -> SAP Kernel -> 32 BIT (uni oder non-uni depending on your environment) -> SAP Kernel 6.40 32-bit -> Windows Srv -> Oracle -> R3szchk_12-20000185.SAR is the right file (your kernel is 6.40!!!)
ad 3.
SAPNet -> SWDC (= Downloads) -> Download -> Inst. and Upgrades -> Entry by applic. group -> SAP Applic. Components -> SAP R/3 Enterprise -> Ent. 47X110 -> Installation -> Windows Server -> Oracle -> CD SAP R3E 4.7x1.10 SR1 SAPINST ORACLE (CD N° 51019679)
ad 4.
not really....it depends on the strategy (see my question above)...you first install the database software (oracle), then the central instance using sapinst, afterwards you will install the database instance using sapinst as well; while installing the db instance you have to chose db copy (or homogeneous copy, system copy) as the "database installation method" if you choose to copy the database files or did a backup if you choose to use the export/import method (using standard r3load) you will use the SystemCopy method as well but you will point (later on) to the directory where you (source) db export lies.
brrestore or copy method:
=========================
sapinst will popup at the appropriate point that the db load has to be done and depending on your strategy you have either to restore or copy files...
by the way: did you already export/backup/copy your source system?
if any further questions arise feel free to post
