How to export for System Copy

I know I can import the database using system copy in sapinst but can someone please explain how do I export the existing database so that I can import it.

Hello Rajesh,
the same way as you do an import.
In the sapinst menu is a point for exporting the database.. that is what you are searching for.

Export for system copy fails - Error 9 (Bad file number)

Hello all,
I am attempting to perform the export phase for a hetergenous system copy on our BI system (BI 7.0 - NW2004s). This system runs on HP-UX 11.11 using Oracle 10.2.0.2 and will be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005, once the export is complete.
While running sapinst to export the data from the source system, there are several input dialog screens that are skipped, which means I am not able to enter all the paramters used for the export. After seeing this behavior from sapinst, I reviewed the sapinst.log and sapinst_dev.log files and find the warning/error "System call failed. Error 9 (Bad file number)". I have included a portion of these files below.
I have reviewed notes 546006 and 583861, but these seem to refer to an Oracle error ORA-27121, but I am not receiving any Oracle errors in sapinst.log or the Oracle alert log. I have looked for possible permission or ownership problems with any of the SAP or Oracle files, but have not found any that were incorrect. Also, these errors do not specify which file sapinst is having problems with, so I do not have a specific file or area to check.
If anyone has seen something similar to this and has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I did confirm the points you made, and have the details below.
1. check filesystem, if you have enough space, especially /tmp
All filesystems have available space, and /tmp has 310 MB available, before the start of sapinst.
2. check again alert log, trace log for Oracle,
I could not find any errors in the alert_SID.log or any unusual trace files.
3. How did you run sapinst? Are you using "root" account.
I am running sapinst as user root and I am following all the recomendations in the system copy guide (at least as far as I can tell. ;p )
We have four BI systems in this landscape, and the other three have migrated successfully. The procedure I am using, is the same as for the other 3 systems and uses the same SAP media directory that was used on the other systems.
One other item that may be part of my problem here, is that this system is the production system, and was originally installed as a high-availability system, using HP-UX Service Guard for clustering. Currently, this system does not have fail-over enabled, but of course the cluster is still intact. One required piece of the Service Guard enviornment is the use of a virtual hostname. This seems to resolve successfully by sapinst, as I see the correct (virtual) hostname referenced several times. While this is a clustered system (for fail-over purposes), the CI and DB are installed on the same host. So it is not a distributed system, and if failover had been initiated, it would fail both the CI and DB instance, which is the same and only SAP instance.
This did raise one question in my mind, however. I am attempting to extract this using the following menu path within sapinst.
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3 --> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Source System Export --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java
Since this does use Service Guard, but is not a distributed system, should I be using a different path in the sapinst tree, for the export? I have only performed a migration using the above path, so I am not familar with the detailf of the other types, such as High-Availabitly or Distributed-System.

Rusty

Save for system Copy grouping how we can use

Hi,
In transporting objects for grouping the collected objects (necesaary,iefore,after and befroe ,after i am ok with those) i do not know waht is the use save for system Copy can anybody expalin what it is and how it is useful when collecting the objects.
Thanks & Regards
sathish

Hi,
Before transport the objects, you must set the source system connections, we won't trasport source systems, but I need to tell to my system if I release and Transport the request then where it shoud go and which source system/target system like this , you can check in RSA1>Tools>Assignements of source system.
I'm not getting
what is the difference between for coping and before after collecting please i want some clarification
Thanks

Error while running sapinst for system copy

Hi all,
For system copy activity of our ECC 6 system, we ran sapinst to take data export but it is not getting started and giving error "Login in process error -
An attempt to write to socket 1684 failed; reason: This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
Any idea how to fix this !!!!!!
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan I

Hi,
Here is my opinion on this error, please try this out if you have downtime on your ECC system.
1. Reboot your windows system and then try exporting your DB.
2. Alternatively bring down your SAP system and DB and then try running the export and see whether it is moving fine.
Keep us posted with your feedback which will help to provide you with any other additional troubleshooting points.

Transport for System Copy from RSA1 in BW 3.5

Hi Guys,
I am not able to create transport for Source system objects for system copy in RSA1.
I have copied the production system(BWP) to sandbox(BWQ) and want to connect to same source system.
According to note 886102 when creating transport for Source system objects I am getting following error.
You cannot use request BWQK900020
Object ISIP ZPAK_5FKMUFOSQPPRNYYDZV1U6A7W0 could not be saved to order
BWQK900020
This is stand alone system but for transports I have created virtual system. Before creating virtual system I am able to create transports. But now after creating virtual systems I am not able to get pass above errors.
Any help would be appreciated also with points.

Hi,
Table split option is used for very large databases, you can use normal export/import method.
What is your database size ?
I had done UC for databases upto 1.5 TB, never used table split technique.
Keep it simple while doing complex tasks.

Use hdblcmgui for system copy

I used to use SWPM/sapinst to migrate BW from row-based DB (e.g. MaxDB, Oracle, etc.) to Hana.
Now hdblcm and hdblcmgui are the exclusive tools to handle SAP hana install/upgrade/copy.
However in my preview on hdblcm and hdblcmgui , I cannot find DB export or DB import option.
I have searched Hana SPS08 documentation and failed to find any info about system copy using hdblcm or hdblcmgui.
There are 2 parameters for hdblcm to rename a Hana system, however it cannot keep the source system. If we want to clone a Hana system, i.e. keep the source system while cloning it to a target system, what is the parameter?
Thanks if you can include some screenshots or links about this question.
Regards.

Hi,
You don't use hdblcm/hdblcmgui to perform system migration/system copy. You still need to use SWPM to export from source DB and import into HDB.
You use LCM tools (hdblcm/hdblcmgui) to install HDB, update HDB, rename HDB and for full usage, refer to the note below:
1997526 - SAP HANA lifecycle manager with SAP HANA Database SPS08

Which master DVD for system copy ?

Hi
If you have a Nw7.0 SR1 installation that has since been patched to be the same or higher level than SR2 - which master DVD should be used for a homegeneous system copy ? SR1 or SR2 ?
SR2 seems logical, but then you need also the DVD's (java etc) for SR2 which you normally wouldn't have around...

Hi Per,
I will go ahead with the SR1 ones... when you do a Homogenoues System Copy you basically are installing a new system and then moving the database with all the patches from the source system.

Juan

QCM tables delete for System copy

HI,
I am doing a system copy sourse:
SAP SR2 6.0
OS: HP-UX 11.23
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Target System:
SAP SR3
OS: Red Hat Linux Ent. 5.4
Database 10.2.0.4
In the system copy guide it is mentioned to clear QCM table before start sapinst in source system.
The precautions mentioned are:
That the tables are consistent u2013 no restart log or conversion procedure termination must be displayed
That the data of the original table can be read
If application programs that use the affected original table do not run correctly, do not delete the QCM table yet.
and If i run SE14 and get the list of QCM tables it is as below:
=======================================================
Temporary tables from conversion without restart log
Object name
QCMCE4REDN_ACCT
QCMT77RCF_SRCH_
QCMYREDG_WF001
======================================================
Please suggest me if I can remove these tables? What would be the impact?

Dear Rajat ,

PCK> Monitoring>Message Monitoring-->Background Processing
you can schedule jobs for various background processing:
●     Archiving of messages processed successfully
●     Deletion of messages that are not to be archived
●     Restarting of messages with errors
●     Rescheduling of lost messages
can anyone understand this docu?
give me some introduction, how can i define and schedule these jobs ?
thx in advance!!

Background Processing
Prerequisites
You have started the message monitor on the initial screen of the PCK and are in Background Processing.
Features
Archiving
You require two archiving sessions to archive messages:
●     One session to write the messages to the archive
●     One session to delete the persisted messages that have been archived
To do this, you schedule an archiving job, which implicitly schedules the sessions to write to the archive and delete the archived messages.
You can define one or more rules for each archiving job; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be archived by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
All information that is displayed for a message in message monitoring is archived, in addition to the audit log for each message.
Deleting
A standard delete job is created automatically. It runs once a day. You can schedule additional delete jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
Restarting
Instead of restarting messages with errors manually with message monitoring, you can schedule a job to automatically restart these messages. This is possible for all messages for which the number of defined restart attempts has been exceeded (messages with the system error status).
You can define one or more rules for each job to restart messages; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be restarted by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
Rescheduling
A standard job to reschedule messages is created automatically. The job runs once a day and ensures that messages lost as a result of database failure, for example, are rescheduled. You can schedule additional rescheduling jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
Thx Aamir.
But I mean the messages with errors in Adapter Engine , not in Intergrations Engine.
the situation is like Naveen Pandrangi's WebLog
II. Errors in Adapter Engine [XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically|XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically]
I
Till now we have seen how to resubmit/restart message that failed in Integration Engine. One a message makes it from Integration Engine to Adapter Engine, the message is flagged as checked in Integration Engine. The status of the message in Adapter engine does not effect the processed state in Integration Engine. Now if this message was asynchronous, XI will by default try to restart the message 3 times at intervals of 5 minutes before the status of the message is changed from Waiting to System Error .
*how can i schedule a job to automatically restart these messages with errors?
best regards

HOW TO EXPORT FOR MAX DVD LENGTH?

Here's my issue:
I'm used to exporting my timeline from FCP using standard DV/NTSC QT conversion to then burn DVDs using DVD Studio Pro. But I can only seem to fit about an hour and 15 minutes max onto the DVD.
I recently taped several long meetings for work that I'd like to fit on as few DVDs as possible.
How do get more than a bit more than an hour on a DVD? Is this in the compression in FCP or DVD Studio Pro?
Thanks in advance!

Use Compressor. It has presets for 60min, 90 min, and 150min.

How to export for both windows and mac users

I'm new to the video stuff, so i have a few questions. i am planning to post videos on my blog. I want to have them in a format that both windows and mac users can play. is this a possibility or will i have to export .wmv for windows and quicktime for mac? i realize that windows users can download quicktime, but i either want the video to be viewable in a format that can be read by all without having to download anything (might be too big a wish :o) ). if i can't do that, then i'd like to have 2 links - one for quicktime and one to the .wmv. in this case, how to i export a .wmv file? i don't see that option anywhere on the share menu? do i need to buy quicktime pro? that leads me to another questions - if i have imovie, do i need quicktime pro? so far i'm having a hard time figuring out what quicktime pro has that imovie doesn't....thanks in advance!

Posting to YouTube and providing a URL link might be the most universal method of playback although quality may be on the weak side.
if i can't do that, then i'd like to have 2 links - one for quicktime and one to the .wmv. in this case, how to i export a .wmv file?
WMV is a proprietary compression format. You will either have to purchase the authorized QT components from Flip4Mac or purchase a separate open source converter application like Visual Hub.
i don't see that option anywhere on the share menu?
Any you won't even if you purchase and install the QT component -- iMovie '08 only exports to QT compression formats.
do i need to buy quicktime pro?
It wouldn't help. Getting QT Pro only unlocks editing and conversion features. It does not add any additional codecs which don't already have installed.
if i have imovie, do i need quicktime pro? so far i'm having a hard time figuring out what quicktime pro has that imovie doesn't.
As indicated above, QT Pro allows you to convert to/from any compression formats for which you have working import/export QT components. This can already be be done using GarageBand and iMovie. GarageBand allows you to access any installed QT import/export component while iMovie '08 restricts you to Apple QT components. In addition, QT Pro allows you to create player displays with multiple audio/video tracks, gives you ability to layer graphic elements (e.g, create watermarks, create pictures-within-pictures, etc,), allow the viewer to switch between alternate audio and/or video tracks, and may other things.
ADDED: If you really want to see what QT Pro can do, check out QTKirk's examples on his DotMac account.
