R3load system copy: Error on database export

Hello all,
I am trying to do a system copy via r3load - Export and then import on a WAS 640 oracle Netweaver based system which has both ABAP and JAVA stack. The source and target system are on the same win2000 host. I am getting below errors in the export stage of the system copy. I am following the sap doc: Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS ABAP 6.40 SR1 .pdf
As per the doc the below are the main steps
1) Generate DLL-statements [Page 55] (Call transaction SE38 and run the program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL...Execute the program. The DDL statements are generated and are written to thespecified directory.)
2) Run SAPinst to export the database [Page 48].
3) Set up the target system [Page 60].
I am stuck at 2) with the below errors during the export.
For step 2, the sapinst asked me to enter
source <SID>
Source <DBSID>
Source schema: I gave this as SAP<SID>
no of process and alphabetic load.
Afer this...
R3ldctlExport.log reports the below errors

Also some of the other log files for other packages terminate with:" disconnected from db" in the middle of the export.
What I tried: I tried putting in the latest patch level for r3ldctl, r3load and r3szchk kernel files. It was at kernel patch 43. I upgraded to latest 175 from market place. And restarted sapinst again to start the export again. Again I face the same problem. Sapinst aborts at this stage again. I basically took the whole sapexedb patch 175 and yupdated the kernel but it did not help.
If any of you out there can lead me in the right direction so that I can get over this stumbling block, would be grateful.
Many Thanks, Vikram

Could anybody please tell what is the required codepage for oracle?
Our system has NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8DEC
Thanks a lot!

Error while database export in package SAPDODS_33 (Unicode conversion)

Hello,
I am performing Unicode conversion on an upgraded BI 7.0 system. This is running on AIX/DB2.
When I take database export for conversion, one package fails (SAPDODS_33) with error "The file system is full". In fact, df -k doesn't show that any file system is full.
I am taking the export to the following location: /db2/BWS/sapdata/EXPORT_DIR
There are 3 system-managed temporary tablespaces: PSAPTEMP, PSATEMP16 & SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE which were residing in /db2/BWS/saptemp1/NODE0000. This was getting full during the export. Now these temp.tablespaces have been relocated to a new file system of size 15GB.
But still the package SAPDODS_33 doesn't get exported. Could you please let me know how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!
Sundar.

Hi Sundar,
if the problem is due to a high temp space usage. The root cause is typically the
sort during export. If the table is large, the sort spills to temp.
You can avoid the sort by doing an unsorted export or tweak the DB2 optimizer to use the primary key to do the sort.
Before DB2 9, you can reduce the OVERHEAD tablespace parameter to zero. Return this value to its previous value after the successful export. This is a indirect hint to the optimizer that random IOs are cheap. This might not help.
With DB2 9, this should not happen, because the DB2_OPT_MAX_TEMP_SIZE=10240 registry variable is set under DB2_WORKLOAD=SAP which limits the temp space usage to 10GB if possible. You can reduce this parameter further if necessary. Another problem could be that the optimizer has chosen the wrong temp space. The optimizer choses the temp space with the largest amount of pages (not size).
Regards, Jens

SAP system copy error

Hi Nizamuddin,
Message text
Data on dump will not fit into current database. Need %d Mbyte database.
Explanation
This error occurs when an attempt is made to load a database dump into a database smaller than the dumped database. You cannot use dump database or load database to shrink a database, regardless of the amount of actual data in the database.
Action
If your goal is to load the database from the dump, you must increase the size of the database being loaded into to at least the configured size of the dumped database. You can do this with either the alter database command or by dropping and re-creating a larger database.
If your goal is to shrink the total size of a database, you cannot use dump and load. You must copy all the data out of the database using bcp, drop the database and re-create a smaller database, then re-create the database structure with scripts, and reload the data with bcp.
extend your current master *database* on the master *device* to a total size of 101376MB(or more) (use 'alter database' command)
alter database master on master = <size in MB>
If there isn't enough room on the master device AND the master device is either a file system device in a file system that has free space or was created on a raw partition that is actually larger than the master device was defined, then you can use the DISK RESIZE command to enlarge the master device
disk resize name = "master", size = <additional space in MB>

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.

Index compression in R3load system copy target db2 9.7

We are in the early stages in planning a unicode migration:
source
ECC 6 on db2 9.1
target
Unicode ECC 6 on db2 9.7.
OS a constant at AIX 5.3.
The default behavior of system copy (target db=DB6) is index creation before data load.
If I run systen copy specifying row comression, a compression dictionary is automatically created for suitable tables, but all indexes were created while the table was empty. The resulting Db2 9.7 database has compressed tables but NO indexes are compressed.
What is the current recommendation on index creation? Does a db2 9.7 target with row compession selected change the recommendation?
Should I be using a DDL mapping file (mapping large files to DDLDB6_LRG.TPL)?
The DDLDB6_LRG.TPL could be tweaked to create indexes after table load...
I would need to plan target LOG environment and temp space large enough for index creation of our largest tables...
I don't think the default log settings would suffice.
Ken Chamberlain

I was thinking of using a DDLMAP file to map large tables/indexes to DDLDB6_LRG.TPL, and edit this file from prikey: BEFORE_LOAD (and seckey: BEFORE_LOAD) to AFTER_LOAD. I can use the export to select out tables greater than a certain size into their own jobs. I can use the resulting job list to create said DDLMAP file. When indexes get created before the load, they never get the compress attribute. If they were created after the load they would inherit their base tables compress attribute, which by this time table compression presumably has been turned on if applicable.
But perhaps a better idea would be to add COMPRESS YES to the crepky and creind sections of the same file (and not change BEFORE_LOAD to AFTER_LOAD).
I'm assuming large tables have large indexes which would benifit from compression. This would also catch large tables (with large indexes) which don't compress well and don't get compressed. I'll ignore large tables with small indexes for now.
PS I resently installed Solution Manager 7.01 on linux db2 9.7 specifying row compression - no indexes get compressed but many tables do.
What do you think? Is this a better solution (for implementing index compression during a unicode migration)?

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

System Copy Error @ CreateDB using control.sql file

Hi Experts,
I am doing A Homogeneous System Copy. I have installed DB and patched 10.2.0.2 as source is of the same level.
After DB Installation, restored DB , run the control.sql file and opened it. Recovered DB using this way: "Recover Database using backup controlfile until cancel;" and opened reset logs
Once DB is open, i continued other steps from the point Backup/Restore DB in sapinst. It said CONTROL.SQL file is missing, so i have placed the same in installation directory. In this step "CREATE DATABASE with control.sql file" it has been throwing me error: Ora-00265 instance recovery required, cannot set ARCHIVE log mode DB altered. DB Closed. DB Dismounted and DB Closed.
Could you please explain why it is asking for Archive logs and shutting down the DB.
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,
well the copy guide says you have to do an OFFLINE backup.
So sapinst expects a restored database (from offline backup) with non existing controlfiles
and the need to do a CREATE CONTROLFILE ...
You already did that manually. You already opened the db...
So there is no way to run a CREATE CONTROLFILE with "SET database" (not sure
about the RESETLOGS in this case for a second time...).
I do not know what state your DB is in right now. If it is completely operational
and fully recovered and can be opened and shutdown normal, try to substitute
your control.sql with simply (copy the original content somewhere else)
alter database mount;
alter database open;
Repeat the sapinst step.
Depending on how far it put in the progress bars in the xml file, you might need
only one of those two statements in control.sql.
If the restored DB is not operational now, then the controlfiles might be garbled due to the
second try top create them from sapinst. Not sure what the situation is then.

Hi,
I have also faced the same error during system copy, the tables IMS_SYNCINXVIEW, PVC_ACTVERSVIEW, PVC_OBJVERSVIEW which are related to Development Infrastructure. These are bad tables and hence it has to be removed.
I found a file called negativTableListForJload.xml in C:\Program File
sapinst_instdir\NW04S\LM\COPY\MSS\SYSTEM\CENTRAL\AS-JAVA\install\sltools\
The import could be continued after removing the line
     <object name="IMS_SYNCINXVIEW" action="insert"/>
(and of course the corresponding entries for all the other views) from
the file IMPORT.XML
So the steps u have to perform are
Please cancel the Installation by pressing the cancel button and then stop the sapinst and edit these files and again continue the old installation.
1) go to C:\Program File
sapinst_instdir\NW04S\LM\COPY\MSS\SYSTEM\CENTRAL\AS-JAVA
EDIT the IMPORT.XML i.e. delete the line
<object name="IMS_SYNCINXVIEW" action="insert"/>
2) now again got to C:\Program File
sapinst_instdir\NW04S\LM\COPY\MSS\SYSTEM\CENTRAL\AS-JAVA\install\sltools\
edit the negativTableListForJload.xml file. i.e. delete the lines which has the entry for these tables.
3) Restart the installation. Donot retry.
Reward point if u feel so.
cheers

Homogeneus system copy error

Hi all,
I have already functionally a SAP instance PRD ECC 6.0(ABAP only) on server with Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 and Database MSSQL 2005.
I tried to make a Homogeneus System Copy with Backup/restore method on same server but i have some errors.
I made the Backup of the MSSQL PRD Database and I saved it to another partition.
I created the QAS Datafiles on SAP DB partition and i loaded The NEW DB on MSSQL. For new Database QAS i selected SQL_LATIN1_General_CP850_BIN2 for collation option.
I launched the SAPINST procedure and I selected the Homogenes System Copy Backup/Restore option.
I selected the existing QAS DB that i already restore on MSSQL SERVER and then I pressed NEXT button.
Now I have this error:
Administrator@WIN2008SAP2: Input Error
User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database QAS.
SOLUTION: You can only install an SAP system in a database with no user object belonging to the system schema dbo.
If there already is an SAP System in the database(MCOD), or you install a Java ADD-in, you might have to convert the existing system to its own schema, or contact your SAP support.
I looked on PRD System and it is a MCOD system. What shoud I do now? I did the wrong steps for HSC for MSSQL????
Any help appreciated, Thanks
M.C.

Please check which tables exist in your SAP database with schema dbo:
select name from sys.objects where schema_name(schema_id) = 'dbo' and type = 'U'
If this shows only the tables sysdiagrams and dtproperties:
This error can be caused by the existence of the table sysdiagrams.
This table is created by monitor operation at the SQL Server Management Studio.
It can be deleted without risks as described below:
   drop procedure sp_upgraddiagrams
   drop procedure sp_helpdiagrams
   drop procedure sp_helpdiagramdefinition
   drop procedure sp_creatediagram
   drop procedure sp_renamediagram
   drop procedure sp_alterdiagram
   drop procedure sp_dropdiagram
   drop function fn_diagramobjects
   drop table sysdiagrams
Regards,
Guenther
P.S.
The table will be created again automatically when a new Diagram is created in object explorer.
P.P.S.
Newer sapinst shouldn't encounter this problem anymore, the check in control.xml was changed to consider this table as 'harmless' (as it already does with dtproperties).

Hi All
These are the steps I had to perform when I faced the issue -
Background:
Faced the issue when I was exporting the DB instance (SQL 2000) using SAPINST.
Steps:
1. We are running NW04S Portal System.Copied the E:\usr\sap\DEV.... files from CI to DB server.
2. Defined sapmnt/saploc shares for E:\usr\sap folder on DB server.
3. Created the folder E:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386\mssjdbc and copied the files base.jar,util.jar,sqlserver.jar,spy.jar files from E:\usr\sap\DEV\JC00\j2ee\jdbc folder.
4. Retry the SAPINST. Final confirmation screen appeared.
5. Checked all the parameters for correctness and clicked on start...export started and finished completely.
All these steps I have done just looking at the log file.One thing I am not still clear is why SAPINST is looking for \usr\sap/...files/folder in DB instance instead of App server.
Would appriciate if any one can clarify this.
Thanks

CAn you precise also what Migration tool are you using?
Migration from 5.1 to SAP BPC 7.0 NW?
In that case when you are speaking about the installation about what part are you speaking?
I think actually you are speaking about the migration tool from 4.2 to 7.0 Microsoft version .
In that case you can install the mIgration tool just with SAP BPC sys admin users and you have to input the password for that user. Sys admin user for BPC is usually the user used for installation of SAP BPC server.
Any way I suggest to follow the Migration tool training document and there you will find all the information necessary.

SYSTEM Copy with Data ( SAP Export/Import way)

Hello ,
There is requirement at my client site to build SAP system copy from Production System without copying Data but
should have Programs/ Structures / Repository/ Tables & views etc.
Though We have thought of building SAP system with Export/ Import way and then deleting the Client from copied system
after that running Remote client copy from Source to Target system with SAP_CUST profile
But I have heard with SAP Export/Import way , We can have SAP data copy skipped and only structure to copy. If there is any way
of such kind then Please help me in letting know the same
Thanks
Deepak Gosain

Hi Deepak
Kindly refer the SCN link difference between the Client copy Export / import & Remote copy method
