Possible migration(Heterogeneous system copy) combination

Dear all
Currently we're planning to do Heterogeneous system copy
from the following source(current system) and target.
Source : R/3 4.6C + Oracle 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3
Target : R/3 4.6C + Oracle 10.2 on Windows 2003
For the target system, i checked the PAM in Service Marketplace
and it seems that R/3 4.6C + Oracle 10.2 on Windows 2003 is supported.
But i'm not sure whether this source - target combination is possible
in Heterogeneous system copy.
To summarize, here are 2 questions.
1) Where can i find Heterogeneous system copy combination?
(OS/DB combination which supports Heterogeneous system copy in R/3 4.6C)
2) Is the above Source - Target combination is possible?
Best Regards.
Ahn

Yes - this is possible and supported. But keep in mind:
- you must have a certified migration consultant doing the migration. If you do it on your own, you'll loose support for problems during the migration and for the target system --> SAP will bill help (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ)
- 4.6c is out of general support; you may need to buy extended support to get the migration kit

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.

Error during Heterogeneous System Copy - Phase 18 Import ABAP

Hello gurus,
I´m facing an error during the Target Installation in a Heterogeneous System Copy (Migration). The system SAP is a SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 (Unicode and Abap+Java).
Source server:
Operation System: Windows 2003 Server x64
Database: SQL Server 2008 SP01
Target server:
Operation System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) X64
Database: Oracle DB 10.2g (10.2.0.4)
I already did the all procedures in export database and all that looks fine!
At this point I´m running the system copy procedure through SAPInst on target server (RHEL / Oracle) but in phase 18 - Import ABAP the sapinst stops... (by the way in procedure bar, I can see "Import Monitor jobs: running 0, waiting 1, completed 0, failed 18, total 19")
I checked three log files (sapinst_dev.log ; sapinst.log ; SAPSDIC.log):
SAPSDIC.log:

Heterogeneous system copy from MSSQL to Oracle

Dear Experts,
I have performed ABAP+JAVA system copy R3load based from Oracle to Oracle and MSSQL to MSSQL platform.
Homogeneous system copy many times.
But this is first time i am perfoming an Export from MSSQL source system with r3load Export method .....My Target system is havign Oracle 10.2.0.2 software installed along with installation prerequisites.
But while Importing the same MSSQL Export ...I am not getting any option for heterogeneous system copy.
I am running on ECC6.0 windows platform and i also have generated Migartion KEY.
But where should i put this key.
I have gone through system copy guide many times but unable to understand Exact options to follow to Migrate to Oracle target system. Appreciate if anyone can give me detail steps i need to carry on Target system
Best Regards,
AjitR

Markus,
Thanks for the help, i have done Export with mentioned way and this time DBSIZE.xml file got created under ORA directory ....i started installation at target system....It went smooth until phase Import java Dump Done. .....But during Post load activities It gave error...
When i tried connectivity to Oracle database it works fine and
R3trans -d gives below mentioned error....Looks like table does not exist....all ENV variables are also got set at target machine.....
Error as below

Symbolic link error when exporting during heterogeneous system copy

My enviroment is ECC6.0/Oracle 10.2.0.2/SUN Solaris 10 . I'm performing heterogeneous system copy to Oracle 10.2.0.2/AIX 6.1 enviroment.
I've succesfully exported & imported two systems ie DEV & Solutin Manager , but PRD system has an OS problem with symbolic links ie Number of symbolic links encountered during path name traversal exceeds MAXSYMLINKS
I want to export both ABAP & JAVA stack but only the java stack is getting picked.
Below is part of the resultng sapinst.log
Thanks

Hi,
In PRD system, u might have craeted many symbolic links in /oracle/PRD fileystem . This should be avoided. Symbolic link should not be created in /oracle/PRD ...
Please check why symbolic links are created and get help from System Operation team . Please becareful to unlink symbolic links that are created by non-SAP. Make sure to perform full offline backup .
Please get the help from Unix System Operation team. Also it does not makes any sense to increase value of Unix parameter for maximum symbolic links.

Heterogeneous system copy. Error in SMIGR_CREATE_DDL

Hello!
I perform a heterogeneous system copy of RHEL5/Oracle11/ERP6/0 > RHEL6/MaxDB/ERP6.0
I use the "System Copy Guide for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP + Java". At the stage "4.2 Generating DDL" statements is a problem. I'm doing "Call transaction SE38 and run the program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL."
But i get error:
Runtime Errors         DATASET_NOT_OPEN
Exception              CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE
Date and Time          20.09.2011 12:16:01
Short text
     File "/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST" is not open.
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "CL_SMIGR_DDL==================CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE', was not
     caught in
    procedure "WRITE_DDL_TO_FILE" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
     clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    When accessing the file "/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST", the system recognized that
     this file is
    not open. Therefore, the file cannot be accessed.
How to correct the error
    Before the first access, the file must be opened using the ABAP language
     element "OPEN DATASET '/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST'" and after the last access,
     it must be
    closed using the language element "CLOSE DATASET '/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST'".
    If the error occurred in your own ABAP program or in an SAP
    program you modified, try to remove the error.
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "DATASET_NOT_OPEN" "CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE"
   "CL_SMIGR_DDL==================CP" or "CL_SMIGR_DDL==================CM003"
   "WRITE_DDL_TO_FILE"
   If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
   notification to SAP, include the following information:
   1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
      To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
   (Unconverted)".
I forgot something to do?

>      File "/EXPORT_DDL/SQLFiles.LST" is not open.
Make sure the user <sid>adm is permitted to write to that directory.

Homogeneous/heterogeneous system copy

In the homogeneous/heterogeneous system copy guide, I'm told to delete all entries in the tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA, DBSTAIORA and DBSTATTORA.
Why do I need to delete all the entries in these tables? What are the entries in these tables for? What happens if I don't delete the entries from these tables?

Hi Jamal,
I believe you are talking about the tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA,
DBSTATIORA, DBSTATTORA. These tables contain statistical
data (like performance) from the source system. Since that is of no use
in your new system you can delete it with the following command in
SQL*Plus as user sapr3 (or sap<sid> when using Basis >=610)
delete from DBSTATHORA;
Repeat this command for the other tables
or execute being in SQL> prompt
truncate <Tablename>
Hope this helps you to understand the pupose and how to delete them.
Regards
Sekhar

Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy

Hello Guru's
Greeting ! . . .
I wanted some help regarding Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy.
It would be helpful if you can guide me for an Step by Step procedure for Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System copy. As i have to carry out both of the activity.
Homogeneous:- AIX5.3/Oracle10 to AIX5.3/Oracle10
Heterogeneous:- AIX5.3/Oracle10 to Windows2003/Oracle10
Thanks & Best Regards
Ashish

Hello Ashish,
You can find the guides here in this location.
https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/systemcopy
If you have complete backup then you start you SAPInst on the system on which you want to have systemcopied.
Then when you are starting DB instance then instead of using the Export DVD you need provide the Database which is backed up. There are screens where it will ask you for editing SID you need to specify that during DB instance.
For further processes you can download the corressponding guide from above link.
Thanks & Regards

Homogeneous or heterogeneous system copy?

Hello Gurus,
i want to make a system copy but i don't know if it is an homogeneous or an heterogeneous.
I use SAP 4.7 ext with win 2003 and oracle 9.2.0.x and want upgrade to SAP 4.7 with win 2003 an oracle 11.2. Besides i want to do a unicode conversation.
What system copy is it when I only upgrade the database? Homegeneous or heterogeneous?#
Please help.
Thank you

It is homogeneous till then you did not change your OS or Database for migration. You are just upgrading the database so it will be Homogeneous.
Regards,
Subhash

DB is inconsistent after the heterogenous system copy

Hi!
I have currently serios problems working with SAP ERP 2005 (SAP DB on Windows) that was installed via heterogenous system.
Entering into db-relevant tcodes such as DB13, etc. retrieves a dump "ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY".
Furthermore it is not possible to execute the patch in tcode SPAM, because the patch is hanging in the phase "IMPORT_PROPER" (the DD structure seems to be inconsistent).
Can someone describe the procedure with technical steps to solve the problem?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Please check this note if it helps.
Note 940878 - DB02N collector: ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY
Import_Improper
You can do one thing if you are not able to proceed with patching.
You can go to pat01 and pat03 .
You try to rest the staus of patch in table pat03 to N
and start the same patch again.
update table sapr3.pat03 status='N' where patch='SAPKA46D04';
or get abaper to reset the value from abap.
Hope it helps

What immediately comes to my eyes is the hostname "SAP" - accordign to the installation documentation neither and instance nor a hostname must be named "SAP"....

ST02 shows multiple servers after heterogenous system copy

We're facing a strange behaviour in ST02 after a system copy using MaxDB backup/restore with SWPM (backup was from our production system). When we click on history, no data is shown:
We have to click on "-> Server", then the data is shown:
Does anyone know how to make history work?

Hello Alwina,
Thanks for the help.
Mine is EHP7 NW 7.4, standard system, cent serv instance(Mes Serv & Enqueue server), primary app server (Dia Bg Up Spo) runs on the single host along with Oracle DB 11.2.0.4.
In my rest of the systems also I have the same notations, server name its in upper case and hostname is in lower case (ofcourse they are of other netweaver release) for SM51.

Yes initially it gives 8 characters in the text.
But in the actual values it is like eusapadh_HRP_40..
Hope you understand my case.
Ok so implementing the note would fix this ST02 history issue - confirm?

Heterogeneous System Copy from MS SQL to Oracle 11g

Good day friends,
I am currently in the stage of running SAPINST to continue the System Copy to the Target (i.e. the export is complete).
This may seem like a rudimentary question, but I am trying to implement Oracle 11g as the new database (and the SAP version of ECC 5). Now when I execute the sapinst, I only get the option for the Client on 9.2 and the RDBMS on 10.2.0.4.
I would like to specify 10.2 for the Client and 11g for the RDBMS, but those options are not included in the SAPINST. What must I do to get these options in the SAPINST?
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks.

I have run a system export from MSSQL and Windows Server, and I wish to run the import to Red Hat 5.4 and Oracle 11g.
I have used the latest ECC 5 Installation Master disk, which still does not have the option to install Oracle 11g. In fact, it only has the option to install Oracle 10g with an Oracle Client version 9. Surely there must be a newer option with Oracle Client 10?
Here is the product code for the Inst Master I downloaded.
6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008) Number 51033746

Heterogeneous System Copy.

Hi,
I need to do a het. sys. copy from DB2 AIX to DB2 Windows for ECC EhP4 System. I ran DB export using SAPinst in the source system, but could not find any data in the export directory. The SAPinst has only created some directories without data. To my surprise whole export completed in few seconds, which is highly impossible.
Could anyone please suggest how to go about this?
Thanks
Abhi

If the system was installed with a virtual hostname you need to set start sapinst as
SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<hostname> ./sapinst
Be aware of the fact, that heterogeneous migrations require a certified migration consultant on-site, otherwise you'll loose support for problems during and after the migration including the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).
