MIGEXPORT needed for SWPM MaxDB system copy?

After executing a MaxDB backup/restore system copy with SWPM, there's a request for MIGEXPORT - any idea which media I shall provide?

Hi,
same problem. Newest SWPM, Backup/Restore Option, stopped for manual actions, now SWPM wants MIGEXPORT, but I have no export. Cannot continue,
Started SWPM again, but it wants this media.
Any solution here?
Need this System tomorrow! Any idea here?
Thanks
Thomas

  • CUA setup for a refreshed system copy

    IF I copy a system that is under CUA, do I have to remove CUA first?
    Or can I copy the system and on the target system, delete the CUA?
    What is the best practice for system refreshed and CUA?
    Thanks
    Weyland

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to detach the CUA first, before starting with client copy to avoid inconsitency..
    Like Client Copy profile includes User Master Records from the source client (SAP_ALL or SAP_USER profile), you should deactivate CUA in the target client.Otherwise, the users in the target client will remain untouched. If you
    don't need to copy the User Masters from the source, use a client copy profile that excludes User Master Records,
    Also check the pending Idocs to be processed in target client before detaching from CUA. Correct the logical system name and RFC after system copy to make it again functional with CUA.
    Cheers

  • Precautions for performing a system copy

    Respected Guru's
    I have to perform a system copy, should i reconfigure STMS after the copy.
    Should i follow any precautions before performing a system copy in
    STMS.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    As such there is no precautions related to STMS but yes after system copy you need to reconfigure your STMS.

  • Configuration needed for non-SAP system as Idoc sender

    Hi,
    We have a need to connect a non-SAP system which is sending an Idoc to XI. I understand that on the sender side, we need to create a tRFC port from the sender system with the server address of the Integration as the target host?
    My question is on the PI side, are the configurations the same as  a SAP system, i.e. maintaining the port in IDX1 and getting the metadata in IDX2 or will it be different?

    In PI, you will need to create a port in IDX1 with the same port name as the Idoc control record when the Idoc comes from the non SAP system.
    As you cannot load the Idoc metdata from your actual source, you will need to copy the Idoc metadata from a actual SAP system or from the port of another SAP system in IDX2
    Also, in the Business Service / System, make sure that the logical system name is maintained as per the Idoc control record of the source.

  • MaxDB upgrade/heterogeneus system copy problem with unicode conversion

    Project goal:
    upgrade a Content Server Version 7.3.0.35   32bit Non Unicode to
    version 7.6.06.16   64bit Unicode
    I found and followed note 962019
    My plan (following the note): 
    -create a clone of the original Content Server (vmware clone)
    -as per note 962019 patched server 7.3.0.35 to 7.3.0.62 (> 7.3.0.57)
    -created index
    -on a fresh installed windows 2003 server 64bit i installed Content Server with build 7.6.06.16
    -using loadercli from the target server (7.6.06.16) exported data
    Now i was ready to start the import, as the note states:
    "if the database parameter _UNICODE is set to the value NO and you want to start the target system with SAP MaxDB Version 7.6, you can use procedure described here for the import into a target system only with SAP MaxDB Version 7.6.05 build 11 or higher"
    Having version 7.6.06.16 i was confident on such procedure, but my import stops immediatly with error:
    D:\exportKpro>loadercli -d PRD -u SAPR3,SAP -b import.sql
    Loader protocol: 'C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\My Documents
    \sdb\loader\log\loader.log'

    User (SAPR3) logon to database PRD failed: SQL error -8046 = Conversion from UNI
    CODE impossible: 7600 (error position: 1)
    And now i'm stuck with no hints on how to proceed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Simone,
    as you're staying on Windows platform, there is no need for a heterogenous system copy.
    All you've to do is to upgrade the 32-Bit installation to your target release (why not use MaxDB 7.7 right away?).
    Once this is done, you can check whether the database catalog is still non-unicode (_UNICODE=FALSE).
    If it is, there is a catalog migration procedure you can use to change this.
    If the 32-Bit database is as you want it, take a full data backup.
    Then uninstall the 32-Bit software, install the same version of MaxDB in the 64-Bit fashion.
    Finally create the db instance by a restore of the backup.
    After a load_systab your database is fully ready to go!
    Just to stress this again: the _UNICODE parameter is not about your data!.
    It's about the database catalog.
    Having this parameter set to YES you can create e.g. tables named with Unicode characters.
    The parameter does in no way affect your business data!
    Since many customers ask why they should't use loadercli for a scenario like this:
    a) It's only supported if you must use it, that is, you change the byte-order of the OS platform
    b) it's way faster than export and import. We're talking about a few hours compared to days here!
    c) It's much safer and controllable to use backup/restore and SDBUPD and move on step-by-step than exporting all data into a big file chunk and hoping that everything will be fine afterwards.

    Hi,
    to get a new system being equivalent to another one you need to do a system copy with the help of sap tools - a database copy is not the same.

  • Homogeous system copy for machine refreshment

    Hello SAP expert,
    I'd like to migrate our sap system() from power5 to power7, and  the host name and the ip address will be kept unchanged on the power7 machine.  We want to use homogeous system copy for  db6 to migrate the sap system for testing. And after the testing, we want to just use db2 backup/restore to replace the database without system copy again. I know there are several steps in sapinst after db restore when I do a system copy, but the hostname, ip and user are unchanged, so  I think there is no need to do a system copy again. Could someone help confirm that?
    And we also want to seperate DB instance and CI to different machine, can we just do a db backup/restore for this case too? And I am not sure if some information about CI and diaglog instance is recorded, if so, I just concern there is some inconsistency if I just replace the database instead of do a homogeous system copy again.

    Hi Sunny,
    Is those report very key? The ip, hostname, system user will keep unchanged and only the machine will be changed from AIX5 to AIX6, so after I do a whole homogeous system copy for the first time and all sap related files are already moved to the new machine, so the next time I want to restore the db with the backup taken on AIX5 to new machine directly without reinstall sap system, it will reserve some time and reduce the effort. Do you think if there is any problem if I do this? Thanks.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Rusty

  • 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.

  • R/3 System Copy PRD -- QA Oracle 9

    Hi all,
    We need to perform a system copy of Production back to QA (4.7/6.40 kernel). My previous experience with a system copy was on a 4.6C system with Oracle 8 using R3COPY. I have just downloaded the latest system copy guide 'Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP® Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20' and for Oracle it says that backup/restore method is not recommended or support and to use R3LOAD. We are not keen to use this method as it requires a longer Production downtime for us (more than twice what would be required for offline backup), also we would need the space available on the disk.
    Has anyone still used the backup/restore method as described in the 4.6C system copy guide with Oracle 9? I don't see why this method is not supported since for us it would be much easier.
    Thanks
    - Natalie

  • System copy Oracle 10.2 in MSCS

    Hi,
    we need to move (using system copy) for a old MSCS cluster to new HW MSCS cluster of our NW04s (Abap and Java) + Oracle 10.2.0.2 + Win03 X86.

    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
