Migration or a homogeneous system

Hi
I plan to copy my SAP system to a new hardware with the same OS and DB products but higher release levels. Is this a migration or a homogeneous system copy?
Regards
Karthikeyan S

hi,
Yes it is Homogenous system copy.

  • Homogeneous System Copy asking Migration key

    Hi All,
    I am doing homogeneous system copy but in middle system show pop of asking migration key. As per sap doc system not ask migration key for homogeneous system copy.my scenario is
    Source System : OS -          Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition
                             Database -  IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix,and Windows

    Please help me / guide me.
    Regards,
    Kumar

    If you are performing an Homogeneous System Copy, no migration key is
    needed. The migration key is needed ONLY if you are changing your operating
    system or your database version, that is, you are doing an Heterogeneous
    System Copy.
    Please read the installation guide carefully, if you do any pre-steps wrongly..i.e enter wrong parameters...

  • Homogeneous System Copy failing on Phase Running J2EE Migration

    Hi All,
    I am running a Homogeneous System Copy according to the System Copy manual. (SAPinst not SV/RST) It is failing on Phase Running J2EE Migration which tells me to look at my RUNJMT.log (below), but it doesn't seem to give me much direction. As anyone run into this before?:

  • Homogeneous system copy db-specific procedure,  Incorrect Migration Export?

    Hello,
    I am still attempting to perform a homogeneous system copy of a NW2004s WebAS Java EP portal system using database-specific system copy with Oracle. OS is Suze 9 Linux.
    I am on the very last step of sapinst on the target system and I have the error message: 
    You entered: /oracle/CEP/sapdata1/systemcopyout/JAVA Found the label SAP:JMIG:700:::* but need the label SAP:MIGSDM:700:::*
    I'm pretty sure I followed the correct procedures to export the source system, using the database-specific procedure but it appears that only the JAVA portion was exported while the import is looking for SDM.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Judith Leitner

    Hi Judith,
    In my experience please use SAPINST to export your JAVA system as well, as because the J2EE Engine not only keeps information from in the JAVA Database but also on the file system (e.g. the ones from SDM).
    Thus, please do the following:
    1. Export your source database using SAPINST (which in turn calls JLoad).
    2. Import into your target system using SAPINST (which in turn calls JLoad).
    This is proven and should help.
    Regards, Dibya

  • 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.

  • Homogeneous System Copy for 4.5B/DB6/W2K ?

    I'm looking for the documentation on doing a homogeneous system copy for an R/3 4.5B System for a client.  They are running DB6 on Windows 2000.  I've searched Service Marketplace and can only find doc's back as far as 4.6C.  I can't find the one for 4.5B.
    The client is looking to migrate the current system to new hardware and then subsequently upgrade to ECC 6.00, but that part is off a piece.  The first part is to migrate the system to the new hardware in order to solve some space and performance issues.
    If anyone can point me to the docs, or has a copy on their local machines they can send me, then please let me know.
    Thanks.

    I suggest you open an OSS call under BC-INS and ask for the guide there.
    Since 4.5B is out of maintenance and you/your customer has (hopefully) an extended maintenance contract for that version they will give you that guide.
    If you do NOT have them, you might be pretty lost in case of a problem, if you have the guide or not...

  • Homogeneous system copy on the same hardware and OS

    Hi!
    When I installed our Q system I was given the wrong user, a local admin instead of a domain admin. Now we can not perform backup with our backup tool, HP dataprotector, because of authorization issues.
    My solution is to "move" the system to the domain and to do that I need to do a Homogeneous system copy.
    Our system is a 64-bit CRM 7.0 ABAP and J2EE on Windows 2008 with Oracle 10.2
    I've read note 676468, 1238351 and the System Copy Guide - System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and from this I can see the following ways to do it
    1. using SAPinst for export and import
    2. using an offline backup
    3. copy database files
    What are your experiences with the different methods and what would you recommend?
    rollo

    > that seems to me a bit overdosed for just a user mismatch...
    It is not "just" a user mismatch, the full environment is wrong (wrong user ID).
    Windows stores users not as usernames but as UIDs (see HKEY\USERS in the registry). All permissions and ACLs and registry access permissions are using that UID - including the enviornmental settings, DCOM configurations etc.
    Therefore I would go for system copy as stated in
    Note 1233320 - Domain migration for SAP system
    Technically it may work on the first look, problems may arise later. <sid>adm has to have some special permissions/policies that are not visible (like 'locking pages in memory' or 'act as part of the operating system' or 'run as batch') etc.

  • Homogeneous System Copy Steps Needed.

    Hi! Gurus,
    Can you please help me by <b>providing details (step by step)procedure for Homogeneous System Copy for R/3 4.7 (Kernel 620 NU) on Windows /Oracle. </b>
    I have to migrate my system from existing Server to a new Server.
    Thanks and regards,
    Pratip

    Hello Pratip,
    I consider that at u r side also there r 2 systems....source and destination...
    also Source and destination both are on the same O.S. & D.B level..this is the primary condition for that.............
    Here i will show u the steps using Online bakcup
    (1) Take a online backup of source along with the Archies generated during Hotbackup
    (2) create control file from source system and edit it to use for the new sysem.....For setting the SID and Archivlogmode...
    (3)copy entier online baclup to the same destination drives.....also archive to the destination server
    (4) replace the older controlfile with the newer generated file....mount and execute that controlfile ( e.g. abc.sql)
    (5)then start the database it will ask for archives....supply copied archive path to it...recover database using backup controlfile
    (6)start ur database with resetlog options...
    (7)then execute following sdcripts
    create user 'OPS$<Hostname>\<SID>ADM' default tablespace SYSTEM
    temporary tablespace psaptemp identified externally;
    grant connect,resource,sapdba to 'OPS$<HOSTNAME>\SAP<SID>ADM';
    create user 'OPS$<Hostname>\SAPSERVICE<SID>' default tablespace SYSTEM
    temporary tablespace psaptemp identified externally;
    grant connect,resource,sapdba to 'OPS$<hostname>\SAPSERVICE<SID>';
    create table SAPUSER
    (USERID VARCHAR2(256),PASSWD VARCHAR2(256)); //*first check for this table and delete this table and all entry first and then apply the next command for user creation OR you can say delete this table entirely and create newer one*//
    insert into SAPUSER values ('SAPMIP','micro123');//*please supply 'SAPPAP' and its coresponding password from PRDserver Please see the last screenshots for that*//
    (8)also set, DBS_ORA_SCHEMA=SAP<SID> (sid of u r source system not u r destiantion).
    Its completed...the job...
    it takes hardly two hours if u r db is of size 80GB....
    If u find it out as usefull then please give reward point..
    thanks

    Hi,
    The short explanation is that a system refresh is when you take the data (database) from your production system and refresh/replace your QA database with that, so at the end of the day you have new data on QA.

  • Homogeneous system copy from ORacle 10.2 to 11.2 ?

    Hello,
    We are moving our SAP infrastructure to a new datacenter.
    We are currently running 15 SAP systems (ABAP and J2EE) on HP-UX 11.23, Oracle 10.2 and are planning to relocate our
    SAP instances on HP-UX 11.31 ( Oracle 11.2 Ready) but we intend to stay on Oracle 10.2 and then in a few months upgrade to Oracle 11.2, to benefit from full SAP support.
    We will be using the homogenous system copy technique.
    Is it possible to perfrom an homogeneous system copy from Hp-UX 11.23 Oracle 10.2 to HP-UX 11.31 to Oracle 11.2 ?
    I am quite certain that I have read a similar discussion on SDN, but I can't find it anymore.
    Thank you very much.
    Regards

    Hi,
    You can check compatibility via PAM section on SAP Market place.
    however , it is allowed to migrate to below new combination considering your SAP platform as NW 7.0.

  • Homogeneous System Copy Doubts

    Hi,
    We are planning for the ECC 5.0 Installation on MSCS.
    And we have some doubts over it.
    we need to Install the System in the Cluster Environment of 64 bit OS and Oracle 10g. Where as we have the existing system having OS 32 bit and database Oracle 9i. We need to do a Homogeneous System Copy.
    Do we need to update the Kernel Patch level to the Latest on both the system?
    Is there anyother specific steps to be carried out for this scenario????
    Please Help Me!!!
    Regards
    Kasi

    -> plz check out sapnote n° 960.769 - Windows: Migration fronm 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64)
    -> ECC 50 -> kernel 6.40, which should be fully supported according to the above mentioned sapnote :-D
    -> plz get installation guides (both: system copy AND installation guide für ECC50/ERP2004) and the relevant sapnotes
    -> export of database on oracle 9i and import into 10g is supported and possible when using r3load mechanism

  • Homogeneous system copy using export/import on WIn/Ora

    Dear experts,
    i need to know the homogeneous system copy procedure using export/import method for following scenario as we are in the process of Data center migration of SAP systemsfrom location to another location.
    Source system:
    ECC6/BI7/APO(ABAP stack)
    OS:WIndows 2003
    D:B:Oracle 10g
    Target System: New hardware installed on Virtual environment(VMware)
    No change of SID
    ECC6/BI//APO
    OS:WINDOWS2008
    D:B: Oracle 11g
    It would be great if anyone can share the documentu2019s/links (Not SAP homogeneous system copy guide) which you have prepared for the homog. system copy using export/import on Windows/oracle  as i have done the system copy using backup/restore for ABAP stack and export/import for Java stack so far.
    Therefore i am not sure about this procedure/prerequisites/checklist needs to prepare as i have gone through the SAP guide but it is not step by step document.
    Cheers

    There are two approacahes for your  project
    1) First wether to use Oracle11g on target database
    2) Continue with Database Oracle 10.2 on traget database
    If you want to use Oracle11.2 on your target database you have to search the installers which are supported for 11.2 database. If the installers are available then only you can install your target database using Oracle11.2.Other wise t use Oracle10.2.0.4 is supported on Win2008r2. You can use this version of Oracle database to build ur target database.It works fine . Absolutely no problem.
    Later on you can upgrade the Oracle10.2 to 11.2 Onwards.
    If installers are avialble you can use Oracle11.2 also. There is absolutely no problem.
    As per my knowledge installers are available and supported with Oracle11.2.Also check the PAM before arriving on any deciscion.

  • Homogeneous system copy ECC 6.0 EHP4 dual stack system

    Hello ,
       I have a requirement of homogeneous system for the below Source system
    Source system :
    ECC6.0 EHP1 ABAP+java dual stack system with DB2 AIX
    Required Target system:
    ECC 6.0 EHP1 (same as target system except single stack java not required)
    1 .I was trying to use db specific homogeneous system copy method wiht redirected restore script
    2. Not possible to get downtime on source system hense it's a production system , then i used target system installaion with homogeneous system copy database specific mehthod
    Problem is - it's asking migration export while creating the target system ,  but i don't have any migration export since i have not exported from source system .
    please help us to proceed further.
    Thanks in Advance.

    2. Not possible to get downtime on source system hense it's a production system , then i used target system installaion with homogeneous system copy database specific mehthod
    What did you choose to do in database specific method - DB2 backup/restore ?
    //Backup Restore
    Homegeneous system copy(database specific method)
    Target -
    As I understand, you have started IMPORT using SAPinst for target system installation. During IMPORT, what target system installation (only ABAP or what ?) you chose ?
    //I took ABAP+JAVA
    'Problem is - it's asking migration export while creating the target system , but i don't have any migration export since i have not exported from source system .'
    This is because the source system is ABAP+Java, and now during target system installation, then IMPORT procedure is asking for Java Export dump.
    Thanks

  • 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 - Help me

    Hi,
    I need to refresh the Training environment with the QAS environment data then I did the client copy from QRP(QAS environment) to TRN (training environment). This copy was made successfully, but with some data inconsistences.
    And then a decided to do a Homogeneous System Copy.
    I did the HSC selecting the option "Standard System Copy/Migration (R3Load-Based) " but exist the another option "System Copy / Oracle Backup/Restore".
    And my doubt is: the process that I need to do is the Standard System Copy / Migration (R3Load-Based) or System Copy / Oracle Backup/Restore?
    And the inverse process (import), can I to install just a Database Instance, once that a Central Instance already exists?!
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dany Anderson

    Hii the process you need to do is system copy . In system copy there are two ways one by using R3load tool and other is backup method. Generally the backup method is faster where all your database will be backedup and copied to the target system. R3load and oracle backup are just two methods of doing system copy.
    homogeneous system copy if your target system is on the same operating system and database system as your source system. The database contents are copied from the source system to the target system.
        You perform a heterogeneous system copy if you want to change the operating system or database system. Migration is another term for a heterogeneous system copy.
