NWDI System Copy or Fresh Installation ?

Hi All,
We have a requirement where our NWDI Service on DomainA has to be copied to DomainB on different network.
Importanly both the NWDI servers should be operational individually after the copy.
I was going through the NWDI System copy document, it says after Copy, source system will not be used further
I need expert advice on what is recommended. System Copy or Fresh installation ?
If its fresh installation, how can we move from Source System to Destination on different networks ?
Regards
Sreeram

You can replicate your tracks from one NWDI to another NWDI

System Copy and Rapid Installer

Hi,
We have installed EP6.0 SPS13 using Rapid installer 2.5 and now we want to 'system-copy' this. The system copy installation guide talks about getting the required DVDs ready. There is only two DVDs in RI2.5. Is it possible to system - copy a RI installation?
Thanks
Raj Balakrishnan

Hi Raj,
interesting question. In fact, the RI base /is/ a system copy itself. Anyhow, I would expect this to work, too.
Have you just tried it meanwhile? Any results?
Best regards

BI system copy

Hi
I am given task to perform BI system copy. The source BI is abap+Java based on same host (Linux/Oracle). I have the offline backup of the system.
1) Can I perform system copy of both abap+java using this offline backup.
2) I tried the procedure using sapinst homogeneous system copy and during installation it asks me for "Migration export" and as per my understanding it is Java export.
3) Do I have to make the export of the Java Schema too from the source system.
How can I perform the BI system copy (Abap + Java). Please guide

MDM 7.1 installation / system copy

Hi,
New to MDM administration here so please help. I have a MDM 7.1 Production system running on windows and ms sql. Now i need to create a new QA system as a copy of this prod system. I am confused as to whether i should use the archive/unarchive procedure to move the repository content or shall i use the SQL backup/restore to copy the DB. I have about 8-9 small DBs in my MDM system -- around 1 GB each and I have one big DB around 200 GB that I believe has all the master data.
Shall i first copy the DBs and then do MDM installation or shall i only do a fresh install and then archive/unarchive the repositories ?? will archive/unarchive bring over all my data and configuration like connections to PI, ECC system etc ?
Also, i would like to know how to modify the connections etc in MDM to point to the correct QA systems after a system copy ?
Thanks,
BV

Got stuck at import abap phase during system installation from system copy

hi,
we have ECC6 ehp4 sp5 level system (linux + db2), due to some reasons our quality system was crashed, we took homogeneous system copy of Production server through sapinst and now we are restoring in Quality server through sapinst. during import ABAP phase its taking long time to pass and system message its showing is
waiting 6134 minites for DDL template file DDLDB6.tpl in dump directories.
i stopped installation and once again started restoration through system copy. Now the system go stuck at the same phase

Hi,
AFAIK, report SMIGR_CREATE_DDL should be run in se38 before starting the export. This generates the required DDL statements which are needed for system copy.
For more info, refer system copy guide in http://service.sap.com/instguides. Hope this helps.

Post installation steps after SAP BW system copy

Hi!
I am about to do post processsing steps after system copy of SAP BW system.
1) One of the steps is to delete all entries from tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA, DBSTATIORA,
DBSTATTORA.
Question: what is the way to do this?
2) During the installation I received the error within import ABAP step.
(IMP) INFO: import of D010TAB completed (4477754 rows) #20090505133631
DbSl Trace: Error 12801 in exec_immediate() from oci_execute_stmt(), orpc=0
DbSl Trace: ORA-12801 occurred when executing SQL stmt (parse error offset=0)

As solution I changed the the following lines within D010TAB.TSK:
from D010TAB~ 0 C err to D010TAB~0 C ign and
from D010TAB1 C err to D010TAB1 C ign
Question:
how to create index manually after system copy?
Thnak you very much!

Simply run
TRUNCATE TABLE <table_name>;
for each of those tables.
Make sure to either logon as SAP<SID> or provide the owner of the tables with the statement.

The problem here was the large INITIAL size clause.
If there is enough freespace at all in the tablespace this should work:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "D010TAB~0" ON "D010TAB" ( "MASTER", "TABNAME" ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3700 NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS PARALLEL;
If I'm not wrong, the second index is just vice versa:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "D010TAB~1" ON "D010TAB" ( "TABNAME", "MASTER" ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3700 NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS PARALLEL;
In general it is really not a good idea to skip the creation of unique indexes...

NWDI error after system copy

Dear All,
We have copied our NWDI system ( NW04s Java SP08) to a new host, while doing the post install steps we are facing numerous errors.
Changing the Domian data went fine. But when we try to update the urls in indivudual tracks we get CBS communication failure error. As mentioned in the system copy guide we changed the Idle start value of the CBS to true through visual admin and then tried but still the error remains the same. How to correct the error ?
And is there any way to do a NWDI refresh i.e delete everything that is existing including the tracks and configure the NWDI from scratch.
Please advice
Warm Regards
Mazdul

i read note 145029 on the same problem which says i should copy CONPUTTB.TAB to BIN folder of Upgrade directory, but i am not sure i have upgrade directory in my system as there is no any PUT directory inside folder 'USR\SAP' as said in upgrade guide. is it because i build a system from an export image of the upgraded system? And will i be able to do it only on the Main system (on which upgrade was perform).
I seen a tcode SRTT0 which generate PUTTB entries but it did not generate for me?
any comment would be appreciated.
As suggested i allready opened up message with SAP for the same will let know result once i finished it.

Homogeneous System Copy - Installation of Database Instance not possible...

I try to create a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 Portal based on a homogeneous SAP System Copy. Therefore I already installed in a first step (first option within SAPINST for installing a target system of a system copy) the Central Services Instance successfully on a machine. In the next step I'd like to create the Database Instance with SAPINST but I cannot choose the DB instance that I already created based on a restore within the new DB server (MS SQL 2008 Cluster installation). I can only choose the local machine for using a DB instance but there is no MS SQL Server installed!
Do I have to start SAPINST on the DB server itself which is not possible/allowed (due to operating/organization reasons)?
Is there any SAPINST parameter which I have to use for telling SAPINST that the DB is located on a different server?!?
The documentation just says:
The target system is installed using the exports from the source system.
Choose the installation services exactly in the order they appear. For more information, see the MS SQL Server installation guide for your SAP system at http://service.sap.com/installnw70.
On the SAPinst screen SAP SystemDatabase make sure to select Homogeneous System Copy (MS SQL Server-specific: Detach/Attach or Backup).
Thanks for supporting and Regards,
Claudio Schmidt

OK, SAP Note 1076022 says:
SAP installation packages on SAP Service Marketplace
On March 27, 2008, SAP released the Netweaver installation package SR3, which supports SQL Server 2008 (R2). Note 1152240 discusses the details and lists some restrictions. Make sure you carefully read Note 1152240 and use a recent enough installation master DVD.
SAP Note 1152240 says:
If you want to perform a system copy of an SAP system that is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 on SQL Server 2008 (R2), you cannot use the Installation Master and Kernel DVD that you received from SAP or downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). Instead, you have to do the following:
- Patch your runtime libraries as described in SAP note 684106
- Use a modified Installation Master DVD. For more information, see section "IV Creating a modified Installation Master DVD".
- Use a modified Kernel DVD. For more information about how to create a modified kernel DVD, see SAP note 1480785.
What problem is fixed by using the modified Installation Master DVD? Is it possible to install the DB part on a server apart of the local machine where SAPINST is run (my initial question/problem I want do resolve)?

Claudio

SMD + Java Services Missing on the System Copy Installation of SolMan

Hello,
I Installed Solution Manager with system copy option.
Backup a database from source and restore it on the target
I did the Export system image from the source and loaded it on the target system in one of the steps of SAPinst on the target system.
When the process finished I found out that the SMD doesnt show up on the SAP Management Console and can't see any JAVA service running.
It's Missing something ? I'll appreciate yours help.
Regards,
Sergio Maziano

Hi Sergio,
What release of SolMan?
Please check note 1317500 (J2EE Engine does not start after target system installation)
SMD is another SAP System (Solution Manager Diagnostics) which is installed with SAPINST since new versions

The Java load in database SID / hostname has not been configured yet. You cannot run an installation from the System Copy folder with this load

Dear Gurus,
We are facing the below issue when performing a homogeneous system copy of NW 7.0 system using backup/restore method for DB6 system.
The Java load in database <SID>/<hostname> has not been configured yet. You cannot run an installation from the System Copy folder with this load.
We went through the SAP Note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2049842, and followed the same but no luck.
We updated the Kernel to the latest, but still no luck.
Request for your quick help as we have to complete it by EOD today.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Anuj

Hello Ashutosh ,
Thanks for your reply.
We have gone followed the below sequence:
SCS Installation
Database Instance Installation using backup/restore method
CI installation. -> getting error, when we provide the Java Components DVD.

System Copy of an NWDI

Hello,
I am in the process of migration several SAP landscapes from one datacenter to another.
The migration of R/3, CRM etc. are straightforward. Now we would also have to
copy the NWDI from the old data center to the new one in order to test all these
copied systems.
However, SAP note 877029 has some very annoying remarks regarding NWDI system copies:
IMPORTANT:
CBS and CMS do NOT support the COPY option. This means after the System
Copy migration was done you are not allowed to use the CBS and CMS in the
source system anymore. If the COPY option is selected only for DTR a COPY
is done, for CBS and CMS only a MOVE is done.
How are we supposed to test the relocation of the NWDI from datacenter A to datacenter B?
Is there only a final migration possible, but no test migration of a NWDI?
Why can't we COPY the DTR, CBS and CMS to datacenter B and use these
copies together with all the other copied AS ABAP / AS JAVA instances?
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Please check this thread: duplicate NWDI
I think it answers your question..
Kind regards,
Mark

Installation Master DVD Distributed Java System Copy menu missing

Hello Gurus
We want to perfom an Java system copy of our EP 6.0 using sapinst
The source OS is Solaris 8.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
The target OS is Solaris 10.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
Our architecture is Distributed , CI is running on a system and DB server on another system.
For this operation we use the master DVD 51033746_12 but we have an issue in exporting the DB as the
Option for exporting the DB on a Distributed system is not displayed on the sapinst Menu .
We followed the last guide taken from sap 'Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 SR 1' and this option should be listed
Excerpt:
Choose the installation service SAP NetWeaver u201904 Support Release 1--> Java System --><DB> --> Distributed System --> Migration - Database Export.
Unfortunately the Distributed system is not displayed and though we are stuck at the export step .
I could not find any sapinst patches . Is it a known issue for Soalris system and is there a Workaround .
Thanks for your help
De Palma Lionel .

Hello
Thanks for your answer . Unfortunately this option is not available as we are using a NW04 SR1 system , not a nw'2004's one . With the latest master install (Installation_Master_6.20_6.40_05_08 51033746_5 )we have the choice of
System copy Source --> Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
--> HA Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
System copy Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Central system-> Migration Data export
Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Distributed system -> Migration Target Central instance / Db instance install
The Distributed system is available for Import option but no for the export one .
My questions are :
- Can we use a master nw2004's master DVD for system copy on a Nw'04s one ?
- As the central instance is hosted on different system than DB instance , should I use the HA option ?
Regards

System-Copy NWDI

Hi Experts,
In the system-copy guides as well as in this document::
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70ee5ab2-8d7a-2c10-d88b-dbe2fdf666e7?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
will be explained how to copy a NWDI-system with system tools, but where I could found this tools and how I could start this ?
With sapinst ?
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
There are basically two ways to perform this:
- Install a new NWDI system, replicate the DTR's and imported them into the newly installed system
- Move the entire NWDI system by using the homogeneous system copy procedure
Hope this clarifies it a bit..
Kind regards,
Mark

Thanks Michael,
I was able to change the CIM settings and then the SLD data shown in portal (content management > Webdynpro) also changed.
But that red message in the bottom of the VA still exists whenever i select SLD Data Supplier service.
