Homogeneous System Copy of ABAP+JAVA Sy - sapinst does not restart after re

Hi everybody!
Someone can help me?
I am doing system copy CRM 2007 (NW 7) from DEV to Sandbox system. after database recovery sap is unable to make connection to database (DB is up and running). R3trans -d finished with 0012.
My question is how to change database schema after system copy. this might be the reason sap is not coming up.
Please advise.

Hi Andy,
Did you change the tnsnames.ora file to point to your new sid?
What does the trans.log output say?
(Just a curious question, but did you apply your sap license for the copied system)

System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049 XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB

Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
a) If using a csh, enter:
 set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
b) If using a sh, enter:
 path=/usr/sbin:$path
 export path

Error during Homogenous System copy of ABAP+JAVA stack

Hi All,
I'm trying to do a homogeneous system copy of an XI system NW04s on Windows 2k3 and Oracle database to another windows 2k3 machine. SCS and Database went on fine but during CI installation on the target system I'm stuck at "Run ABAP Reports" phase.
I'm getting an error:
MUT-03025 Caught ERfcExcept in Modulecall: Exception condition "WRITE_FAILED" raised..
runRADDBDIF was executed with status ERROR
The ABAP stack is however up and when I login to 000 client using DDIC user and try to execute the report RADDBDIF, I get a runtime error RAISE_EXCEPTION with Exception condition "WRITE_FAILED" raised.
A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLSUGI" raised the exception condition "WRITE_FAILED".
If anyone has encountered similar problem, kindly help me.
Regards,
Sameer

Hi Juan,
I've already checked dev_disp and dev_ms but didn't find any errors. However, I got some errors in dev_w0. I'm pasting the same for your reference.

Homogeneous System copy of ABAP+JAVA stack ( PI )

Hi everyone,
I am planing to do Homogeneous system copy of our existing NW 7.0 SR3 PI System ( ABAP + JAVA).
Can anyone help me with step by step details to do in source system and target system?
Thanks..

Hi,
You should follow the system copy guide for the different option while doing the system copy
- database dependent
- R3load based (export/import)
The following document you can use as a reference, (note -this has been done on database dependent method)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f055cbd0-97f1-2a10-c09a-907b811de000

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,

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 NW04S ABAP+Java same host

Hi All
I have this dev system ECC 6.0 (SAP_SID and DB_SID: D01) ABAPJava system and enterprise portal 7.0 (SAP_SID and DB_SID: P01) on the same host (hostname: host1). Now I need to do a system copy of the D01 ABAPJava system to build new system D02 on the same host - host1. Its Oracle 10g/Solaris 10.
My understanding is, after all preparations, to run sapinst with the 'database-independent procedure' to export ABAP+Java at the same time, which creates the Migration Export CD image. Does anyone know of any issues with system copies on the same host? I think I dont need to install Oracle software as its already there, right? I need to get the oracle and sap directories created for the new system D02, please correct me.
Thanks
Ali

Hi,
My understand was have the same installation of ABAP+JAVA ( UR CASE) which will install oracle and everything else auto...and lauch sapinst >> system copy >> then export to anyfolder, move that folder to target system. In target system, launch sapinst >> system copy>> and import.
Thanks,
Feel free to revert back.

Hello All,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I was trying everything, but I do not think I've done something good intentionally.
After each of the below steps I tried to run sapinst again.
1. Restart user session (sudo)
2. Reboot server
3. Rename /tmp/sapinst_instdir/.lastInstallationLocation
4. Rename <user_home>/.sdtgui/
5. Rename sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx
After 4 and 5 it did not start at all.
It now has opened correctly showing me the initial screen with all the options of sapinsts. If I encounter the problem again, I will try each step again more systematically.
Kind Regards,
Kirill

Homogeneous System copy - NW2004s

I am trying to perform a homogeneous system copy of NW2004s ECC6 system using sapinst.
Platform info:
OS - HPUX
DB - Oracle
I am using DB specific (oracle) method to restore an offline backup.
When I run the sapinst to import, I get past preliminary information screens and when I select "Homogeneous System Copy (backup/restore)", I am prompted for the location of LABEL.ASC for the migration.
The documentation in the guide "Homogeneous System Copy of NW2004s" is poor and does not address this issue.
I suspect there is a bug in sapinst.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Thanks,
Sai

Steps for homogeneus copy :
1. Export of source system using sapinst ( R3load )
2. transfer the file over to target system
3. Do new installation of he system by using the transfered file as you export file.
I gues the menu in sapinst would be additional lifecycle task .

Homogeneous System copy for Netweaver 2004S SR1 ABAP+JAVA- Oracle/windows

Hi All,
I am planning to do Homogeneous System copy of our production system to New Test system which SID is different from production system. I don't want to do system copy through SAPinst(R3load) because I cannot down our production server. I want to create the New test system from the offline back.
I have already installed our new system. I want to do system copy through Oracle-Specific Procedure as mentioned in the system copy documents.
Could you please tell me how to do sytem copy step by step and how to change the SID.
Thanks in advance.

O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified
As per the oracle procedure I have deleted all three control files from the target system. after copied the sapdata files,origlogA,mirorlogB. I have also copied the control.sql and init<target_SID>.ora file which I created on the source system with the compand ora_br_copy.
I have copied control.sql. in the install_dir of the and init<target_SID>.ora in \oracle\SID\102\database directory.
could you please let me know why this error is coming or you could send me document if you have.
Thanks in advance.

System Copy from ABAP Stack to ABAP+Java Stack

Hi,
Is it possible to system copy (homogeneous or heterogeneous) from a system based on ABAP Stack to a system based on ABAP+Java Stack? Is it the normal system copy procedure or something aditional is required to do. Pl. advise. Thanks
regards
Edited by: Abdus Samad on Oct 24, 2008 8:13 AM

It depends on what you want to copy, a system copy will always wipe out the existing target. But if you want to only copy data, you might be able to do a client copy. You can start with this SAP note: [552711 - FAQ: Client copy|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=552711]

MSSQL Homogeneous System Copy : SAPINST cannot connect to default database

Hello.
We want to perform a homogeneous system copy, following Note 151603.
We have attached the source DB (RP1) to the destination DB (RD4) following the above mentioned Note.
Now, logged to the server as DOMAIN\rd4adm , we want to execute the SAPINST, as indicated in the Note 683447, but when giving the password for user rd4adm we get a pop up
Cannot connect to R3SVIL\RD4 [SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
R3SVIL is the server. Login is done with windows authentication (connected as domain\rd4adm)
We cannot find a Note descibing this issue and how to fix it, must be something with user : does anybody have suggestion or solution?
Thanks a lot,
Dino

Hi,
did you apply SAP note 551915 - R/3 won't start after database restore or database copy
also check Note 806925 - SQL Error 4064: Cannot open user default database

Homogeneous system copy ( sapinst or db specific method )

I want to make homogeneous system copy ( NW7 ) of ECC6 from PRD to make a QA system on HPUX/Oracle environment. I am wondering which of the following method is better way to go
System copy with the help of sapinst
or
Database specific method
What are the steps of each method?
Please help, your help will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
-Al

Hi Al,
Using sapinst is the supported method by SAP but it takes much longer as you'll need to export/import the data and doing this affects availability of your PRD system. Most companies perform DB backup/restore as it is much quicker and does not require an outage of your PRD system (if you have online backups). Different databases have different tools for this operations. Since it only a QA system, I would suggest you do a DB backup/restore.

Urgent Help Homogenous System copy

Hello!
We have SAP Portal 6.0 ABAP+JAVA WAS640, in Windows 2003 and Oracle
9.2.x.
We are updating our devellopment environment, doing a Homogeneous
System copy using the R3load copy method.
Creating the ABAP Database Instance in the target system, in step
Database Load, SAPINST ask a Migration Key...
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.
Arnaldo Calaçda.

About migration key go to http://service.sap.com/migrationkey and also take it.
But usually it is required at heterogeneous system copy,you do not need to enter any migration key (for a homogeneous system copy). Describe your system more full and read the migration log, for exemple can be such as Note 747773
Award if helpful. Regards.
