Java system backup

Hi,
what is the procedure for sap java standalone system backup. as per my knowledge, we need to take a backup of:
1. java database
2. file strucute (sdm) for configuration data
can any one provide me the complete document or steps to perform the standalone java system backup.
Thanks,
Niranjan.

hi Niranjan V,
i have followed follow the steps for backup in my landscape, the first procedure is the SAP recommended one for consistent backup for sap systemsand the second procedure may take more space, but it is very easy to recover the system in short time.
1) take a backup by sapinst ( master installer ) is know as system copy.
                 ( or )
2) take another backup by file strucute (sdm) for configuration data
    a ) disable all sap and oracle services at OS level
    b ) take copy of whole of usr directory into a seperate folder ( ex: bi_backup_01242009)
    c ) take copy of whole of oracle directory into the folder ( ex: bi_backup_01242009)
note : all sap and oracle services should be disabled in services.msc in windows. where as in unix stopsap commnad stops all sap and oracle services please check if not stopped any one of the services ( processes) kill it.
these are the complete steps for file strucute (sdm) for configuration data
you have take the offline file backup by the following steps
1) down the sap instance by the command -> stopsap (unix) / MMC (windows)
2) i have created the the floder named ->ex: aed_file_backup_042409 in AED_Backup folder
2) /usr/sap       entire folder
3) /oracle/AED    entire folder except 102_64, desktop
thank you,

Abap+Java System Backup

Dear Experts,
We just take our bi system(abap+java) backup online, so could you please help me which files we need to backup during the Sap system is online,
As the below help.sap.com link said that for filesystem backup "Create a backup of the SAP system directory /usr/sap/<SID>." (before we need to stop SDM)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4b/d8f23ea4b42e5ae10000000a114084/content.htm
Can we backup entire /usr/sap/<SID> directory while sap and db is still runnig ? if not which directories we need to backup ?
Should we backup filesystem and db backup at the same time for a consistent backup, or can we schedule separately filesystem and db backup if there is no deployment exist between db backup and filesystem backup schedules,
Best Regards,
Atakan

As suggested you can either go with the ofline backup for the abap and for Java you need to have the filesystem backup.
Or you should go witht he file system backup of all the file system.But for that you need downtime.
So what i shall suggest you thet go vith the online backup and have the archive log on and have archive logs backup too.
And just the online backup completes have the Java export of the Java system of your BI.Durng the exportthe SDM will stop while the Servernode and the dispatcher service will be running,so no error will occur when some one is using the JAVA BI.
This is the safest method ad you can recover the JAVA system any time.Please also have an offline backup at weekends of the abap system when its down.
Please check the Password of DDIC of client 000 and the J2ee_admin before taking the export.
Thanks

Unable to install Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Service Pack 7 on Wndows

Dear All,
I recently downloaded Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Service Pack 7 and now I am trying to install it.
The previous version of Web Server 6.1 that i installed is running successfully on Windows 2000 Prof. though it is not meant for it.
To install SP7, i uninstalled the previous Web Server 6.1. I also removed the folder Sun and all the child folders of it. The Sun ONE Web Server services are still available and i can't able to delete them even from registry so i disabled them.
Then I tried to install SP7. But after few steps, it gives error:
You already have a Sun ONE Web Server installed. Install can not proceed.
I am sure that i am able to remove completely the previous instance of webserver as i removed all the entries from registry also and also disabled the services related to it.
Still why i am getting this error?
Will it work on Windows 2000 Professional like its previous version?
If not can i able to install previous version of the Web server 6.1 (without SP7) on Windows 2000 Prof?
Please help me regarding this.
-Sameer

Sameer, you should have uninstalled Web Server 6.1 using the Web Server uninstallation program instead of just deleting its files and directories. Your Windows registry is now in an inconsistent state.
If you can restore your previous Web Server 6.1 installation from a backup, you can run the uninstaller to correctly uninstall it.
If you cannot uninstall Web Server 6.1 using its uninstallation program, you will need to manually delete the Windows services and edit the Windows registry to remove all references to the files you deleted. Note that you can render your computer inoperable by deleting services or modifying the Windows registry. Don't do this if you're not confident with what you're doing.
To delete the services using SC.EXE:C:\>sc delete https-admserv61
C:\>sc delete https-hostname(You can find the hostname for the Web Server 6.1 service(s) using the Services program in the Administrative Tools folder of the Control Panel.)
To clean up the registry, use REGEDIT.EXE to delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Sun Microsystems/WebServer.

ECC6 EHP2 (ABAP+Java) system copy using file system copy

Hello Experts,
I have a question around system copy method for a dual stack ECC6 EHP2 system.
We are planning to take full file system backup of this entire ECC6 EHP2 dual stack system and throw it on a completely new hardware with new host name but same SID. We are also planning to do a host renaming in instance profiles and re-building the control files in target system after we finish the file system restore.
Is this method supported in SAP ? Or we strictly have to use SAPinst to do export and import method. In any case our source and target platform is not going to chance as per our scenario.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harshal

> Thanks for the quick response. Is their any document that says it is not supported ? Because of no proper document that says no to do it, client want's to try it out.
For the ABAP part this is certainly feasible.
The Java part has not only issues with the secure store but also with SID and hostname. The old values are stored in many places in the database and in, depending on the applications installed, many .properties files in the filesystem. So it would be not enough to somehow regenerate the secure store but also change hostname and SID in different places that are not really all documented.
What you are basically looking for is
Note 757692 - Changing the hostname for J2EE Engine 6.40/7.0 installation
with the significant sentence
This note should be applied only when the hostname of a machine
where the j2ee engine was already installed has changed.
It does not replace the SAP official system copy procedure and
MUST NOT be used for copying of an instance to another host and/or with different SID.

DB refresh on Netweaver 7.0 ABAP+JAVA system - Issue

Dear Folks
I am having an issue with starting the Java instance after system copy.
This is the situation
System QAS database was refreshed from system PRD.
Both the systems are on NW 7.0 Ehp1 SP 18, in a HPUX/ORACLE environment.
Our normal landscape is full of R3 systems so teh DBA's have been historically doing DB refresh by copying for teh Oracle fileystems and then renaming the schema and some post db refresh activities to get the DB in teh target system up and running. Pardon my terminologies I ma not a DBA. The abpove procedure has worked fine with R3 systems.
But with the above mentioned Netweaver system ABAP instance is running fine after refresh while Java instance is not since SMSICM-> Goto-> HTTP Server -> DIsplay Data is showing
HTTP Application Server Handler
ABAP Server operational        = TRUE
J2EE Server configured         = TRUE
J2EE HTTP port                 =
J2EE HTTPS port                =
J2EE Server operational        = FALSE
Default root access handler    = ABAP
URL Prefix Table loaded        = TRUE
There are no other dumps or errors in the system and teh startup logs do not show any error. I have looked up online and the System Copy Guide for 7.0 systems and I understand SAP recommends using sapinst. But I would like to know if there is a workaround to fix the j2ee instance.
I have seen a few forumns where people have had similar issues but no solution.
FYI, The the Instance_IDXXXXX in the SAP J2EE Engine- Config Tool in system QAS is that of PRD and there is no entry for the instance ID of the QAS system.
I have tried changing all the entries that are pointing to PRD under Cluster_Data-> Instance.properties.IDXXXX to that of QAS and saved and restarted but no luck as the Instance_IDXXXXX of QAS does not show up in teh config Tool menu.
All the properties files at teh OS level are pointing correctly to QAS, so I would liek to know if there is any way to change the config on eth DB level.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you go for ABAP+JAVA system refresh please always ose the JAVA export method .
Take the JAVA export of the source system with the help of sapinst.Check the j2ee_admin and the ddic password of source system.
then you need to get the offline backup of the Source system.
then import it on the target system wth the help of sapinst and in the middle it shall promt you to restore from the backup of the source system.
Always use this method as JAVA stores it file at file system level and in the database.So you need both the files .

ABAP+JAVA system copy using 3rd party export/import tools

Hi all,
I am trying to do a homogenous system copy. I am following the syscopy guide for SAP NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP+JAVA systems
We are running AIX 5.L and Oracle.
My question is this. We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images. Does anyone know if it is possible to restore or "import" the data in a system copy using an outside tool like this? If so, do you have any information on how to?
I know it is possible to restore the database from an offline backup using BRTools rather than r3load and jload, and I just wanted to see if I can restore from a snap as it would save a lot of time in the procedure.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

>My question is this. We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images.

That approach is not supported.
The reason is: combined instances write the instance name and hostname in various places, on the filesystem in .properties files, in the JDBC configuration, depending on the java applications you run on top in various other places. What you're trying to do is effectively "renaming" an instance.
Technically it's possible to do it and to get it run, yes, but the supported way is running sapinst and choose ABAP + Java system copy. This will prevent you from lots of (not really documented) manual work after the copy.

ABAP + JAVA system copy

Hi
My enviroment is SAP ECC 6 (ABAP + Java add in though we don't use the Java stack) on Oracle 10g/Solaris 10.
I intend to do a system copy(PRD to QAS) using offline backup/restore method. Is this possible for a ABAP + JAVA system using this method ?
Thanks

> Karan , I'm just wondering I'm i supposed to do two separate system copies in the case ie One ABAP (backup/restor) & the other for Java(export/import)?
Read the system copy guide.
Basically you will
- start sapinst on the source system and choose "database specific method"
- start sapinst on the target system and select the same

Back up strategy for java systems (EP7.0)

Hi Gurus
We are using windows server 2003 Ent and SQL server 2005 for our ECC 6.0 system (dual stack). and one more Enterprise portal 7.0. on different box with the same OS and DB.
As i am new to MS sql can any body let me how to proceed with the back up policy especially with the JAVA systems
This is i am planning.
Whole Database     Full - Offline     Monthly
/usr/sap/<SID>         Full- Online      Daily
transaction logs                every 4 hours
Any way frequency does not matter. but are these above steps are suffienent to recover or do we need to keep more on backup.
kindly suggest us.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bala,
Do have a look at these threads, while they may not answer your question they seem to have some good inputs
1 - How to backup MSSQL database in ECC6
2 - https://cw.sdn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40515;jsessionid=1B4BAE46AE116F95C178F7D34A259E6F
In one of my assignment where the setup was more like the one you mentioned we did the following:
BI-Weekly
Windows Filesystem Backup
Whole Database - Offline Backup
Everyday:
SID backup - online
Apart from that we also included plans for backuping the UME Database (it was a directory), TREX
Good Luck!!!

CI: Host A
DB : Host B
Target portal landscape:
CI & DB on same host.

i have taken the distributed system copy of HOST A CI , and taken full DB backup , refreshed the same backup on our new target DB.
and export of host A is showing very low size . i mean in MB's

while i started the import, i have installed the central services intances (SCS..) it went succesfully.
restored th DB backup on our new DB.
when i started the CI installation it got strucked with following errors.

Java System Copy tool

Hi,
We have an ECC6 on NW 7 landscape and require a tool to copy system data across 2 SAP systems. I have come across this Java System Copy Tool. I have downloaded the packages:-
Time analyzer
Package Splitter
Migration monitor
OraBRcopy
read the various documents that came with it and i just wanted to know that does this need to be run with SAPinst or can these need to be run individually? seems a bit confusing as there is no a straight forward document to read. I have read the Oracle Parameters that need to be set so that is one thing to discuss with my team.
We have a very big database and i wanted to ask if someone out there has used this that how long did it take migrating your database and under what conditions i.e. was database shutdown, done when system least used, etc?
It seems that Migration Monitor does the job of exporting and importing the packages but i am not sure how Package splitter or time analyzer fits into this?
OraBRcopy is the same as using R3COPY so that is no problem for me but just these inidividual tools i need help understanding.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mani

> We use the database copy procedure and apply redo logs after to a level the apps poeple want it, but recovery takes a long time and it requires lengthy file checks as some are missing so we were investigating alternative methods available one of which was this SAP tool.
You never do full backups?
> My understanding of what you are saying and please correct me if i am wrong.. is that sapinst can copy either java content (assume you mean the java database schema??) or ABAP schema or both. export the java contents and continue using the normal database copy/redo logs method?
Yes. You would
- take a backup of the source database
- execute "sapinst", select system copy and select, that you're doing a "backup/restore" procedure
- sapinst will put all the Java parts together and create a dump of it
- you start sapinst on the target system, select system copy and that you're doing a "backup/restore" procedure
- sapinst will install SCS/CI and stop then asking you to recover the database
- sapinst will continue and setup the Java part
What you encounter is one of the major drawbacks when using DualStack instances. I would, if it's possible, separate the two instances so you can copy them independently of each other.

Distributed System Backup

I just installed my first Distributed System. I am now trying to backup the system by using DB13 to start online backup using brtools. I have been looking for documentation on Distributed System backup. The best thing I found that could make some sense is SAP Note 1025707, 446172. So here is my landscape. I have one server call ORA which will end up hosting 3 oracle databases called SMP, NWP, SDP. There is no abap or java installed on the host only the database. I have other servers that host the abap and java stacks.
From reading the notes, I am guessing I need to install either a gateway process to do backup or do something with ssh. I am thinking the gateway process. First am I on the right track what needs to be done. If so should I install one gateway process as oraadm that could that control all the other SIDs? Or do I have to install a different gateway process for each SID? Or am I way off and there is whole different solution I should be using.
Thank you
Matthew

Hi,
I don't think so you need to install sap gateway on database sever for same.
You need to configured init<SID>.sap which is located in /oracle/<SID>/xx_xx/dbs and set the respective file permission for brarchive, brbackup, brconnect, brtools.
chown ora<sid>:sapsys brarchive
chown ora<sid>:sapsys brbackup
chown ora<sid>:sapsys brconnect
chown ora<sid>:sapsys brtools
chmod 4775 brarchive
chmod 4775 brbackup
chmod 4775 brconnect
chmod 4775 brtools

Database statistics for Java system in CCMS (RZ20)

Hi All,
We have configured CCMS for JAVA system, but unable to view the Database statistics like Tablespace size, Free space, Backup, Performance etc., for it.
We are able to see these statistics for ABAP stack.
Is there any possible method (or) class to view these statistics?
We have even created a new rule-based monitor with class CCMS_DB_mcmtc and CCMS_DB_space_mscl but in vain.
Even if we cannot view these in RZ20, do we have any other methods like Netweaver administrator or Introscope or some other means....?
Waiting for some help......
Regards,
Phani.

I don't think there is any separation between CCMS and other systems, all use one database. If you use MaxDB use Database Manager, if smth like SQL Server or Oracle use standard tools of this vendors, like Enterprise Manager third party tools also helps you, cause I don't see any difference between
