SAP MDM 5.5 System Copy

Hello we receive from the business a request to do an refresh of our SAP MDM 5.5 QA system with the MDM 5.5 Production system.
But I didnu2019t find any informationu2019s about this process on SAP MarketPlace neither in Googleu2026..
Does anybody know what is the step for doing such a refresh ?
Or where could I find info about this ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Dominique,
You can create an Archive file to the repository from production environment and unarchive it into QA system.
This will this repository will be exactly same as production.
To create an Archive file follow following steps:
1. Open MDM console and mount MDM Prod server. Right click on the repository and select "Create Archive".
2. this will create a file with .a2a extn on MDM server Archive directory.
To unarchive repository in QA follow below steps:
1. Copy .a2a file of Prod repository from Prod MDM server archive directory and copy in QA MDM Server archive directory.
2. mount QA MDM server in Console and right click and select Create Repository from Archive. This will open a popup window. specify DBMS details here and .a2a file of Prod repository.
this way new QA repository will have exact same data and configurations from PROD repository. You can also over write an existing QA repository instead of creating a new repository using .a2a file of Prod repository.
Hope this will help. Revert if you have any question.
BR,
Shiv

Trasformation SAP BW 7.0 system "Copy" Functionality NOT available

Hi,
i started to work with a new SAP BW 7.0 system and i noticed that the copy functionality for the trasformation is not available.
In my previous project i worked on a system SAP BW 7.0 that had this functionality, i mean with right click of the mouse on a trasformation i had: display, change, copy, delete.
Now in the new system i have only display, change and delete.
I compard the patch levels of the two systems:
in the new system we have a SAP_BW patch level 15,
in the previous one i have a SAP_BW level 16.
Could be this one the reason?
Any idea?
Thx

Hi,
Should be yes..
Even we also have BI 7 with SP 7 and SP 18.
In SP 7 I dont have copy option. But in SP 18 this is there...

Thanks for the reply.
But I began the installation from zero, but right now I'm having a different error with DB2, it doesn't start. I beilieve it has something to do with services and stuff like that but I dont know how to resolve it.

Hi,
You can check the defined enviornment variable using command prompt and System properties.
Open Command Prompt and give "set" command. It will show you active environment variable.
You can also set missing environment variables in system properties.
Start -->Control Panel --> System
On Advanced Tab --> Environment Variables.
After logging to the database if it shows message "Connected to idle instance", that means your database is not started.
Please start the database using below SQL command.
Open Command Prompt
C:\Sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>startup
Once it says "Database opened", retry SAP installation.
You can also check the database status in SQL prompt using below command:
SQL> select instance_name,status from v$instance;
It must show output like:
INSTANCE_NAME STATUS
<SID> OPEN

Change logical system names after system copy

Hi!
We successfully installed SAP ECC 6.0 system as system copy.
All the logical system names of old system have been copied to new system.
Question
What is the approach to change the logical system names for new SAP system?
a) just via tcode SCC4
b) via BDLS
c) other tcodes, reports
Thank you very much!
regards
Jürgen

Hi,
Go though the system copy guide.
http://service.sap.com/instguides
After system copy,
If you need to change logical system names in the system that results from the copy, change the logical system names as described in SAP Notes 103228 and 544509.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/103228
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/544509
Before running BDLS to change the logical system name, you have to define the correct logical system name in the new copied system. in tcode BD54.
- while running BDLS, execute in background.
Regards,
Debasis.

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 ?

SRM system copy

Hello All,
One of our IT partners has got an SAP SRM implementation and we need to set up our own SRM system as a copy of the partner's SRM system.
How can we do this? What system copy approach we can follow?Will DB restore work?
During the copy will it ask for any hardware/software keys?
Do we need to seperately buy the licenses ?
Our OS/DB is going to be different from that of the partner.
Please give me a high level idea.
Regards
Arun

Arun,
Check below sap notes, links & details.
SAP Note 547314 FAQ: System Copy procedure
SAP Note 89188 - R/3 System copy
System Copy and Migration

System Refresh
How can we do this? What system copy approach we can follow?Will DB restore work?
You can do this by homogeneous system copy. Yes DB restore method will work.
During the copy will it ask for any hardware/software keys?
No it will not ask for any keys(Homogeneous system copy not sure about heterogeneous system copy)
Do we need to separately buy the licenses ?
No
Our OS/DB is going to be different from that of the partner
The copy of an SAP system to another hardware is called a system copy. If the target system will run on a different operating system (OS) and/or a different database system (DB) than the source system, then this is called a heterogeneous system copy or OS/DB migration. Check below link for detail
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/osdbmigration
Note 82478 - SAP system OS/DB migration
You can download system copy guide from below link
https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/instguides.
Homogeneous System Copy:-During the system copy you use the same operating system and database platform as the original
system.
Heterogeneous System Copy:-During the system copy, you change either the operating system or the database system, or both.
Heterogeneous system copy is a synonym for migration.
System Copy :-Duplication of an SAP system. Certain SAP parameters might change in a copy. When you
perform a system copy, SAPinst installs all the instances again, but it uses a copy of the source
system database to set up the database.
Database Copy :-Database-dependent part of the system copy.
Hope this helps
Thanks

AIX/Oracle system copy guide

Hi Experts,
I am preparing a system refresh (system copy) from production to test system via DB backup and restore.The two systems are on different AIX servers. The systems are running on SAP enterprise 6.20 on Oracle 9.2 and AIX.
I can only find the system copy guide for using R3load "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP® Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20"
Where can I find the SAP guide for the system copy? Thanks in advance for any helps.

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

MDM heterogeneous System copy

Currently I have MDM 5.5 running on AIX and DB2 DB. I have a requirement to migrate this now to Oracle and HPUX.
I have been told that all we need to do in to unarchive the repository on the target system (AIX DB2) and archive the repository into the HPUX / Oracle environment.
Would this work and would any other steps be required or are they any other steps/process required for a "hetrogeneous copy"
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Ajay
If your target system landscape has been prepared
(HP Unix version SAP MDM Server and Oracle had been installed and configured)
Generally you right, but vice versa
Archive repository on AIX(DB2) (your current system) and unarchive on HP Unix(Oracle) -(your target system)
My recommendation:
You should think about migration from SAP MDM 5.5 to SAP MDM 7.1 because SAP, generally, doesn't support MDM 5.5 anymore.

I had checked the INSTANCE_NAME parameter, in every profile, and is ok.
I tried a new instalation, after importing the profiles, and checking the INSTANCE_NAME, but got the same error.
Please, advice.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Jorge

Thanks Manoj for your advice.
We had already checked the procedures, we are working based on the System Copy Guide: "System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 ABAP+Java".
I had to mention that source and target systems are HP-UX, 11.23, Itanium and the DataBase is Oracle 10.2.02.
The copy was made from a Central System (ABAP + Java) to a High-Availability System (ABAP + Java), and the problem appeared when copying the Central Instance.
Thanks in adavance.

Migrate SAP from DB2 9.5 to DB2 9.7 using System copy

Hello,
We are migrating our SAP systems to new hardware and we are also planning to upgrade our database from DB2 9.5 to DB2 9.7. So my question is can we take a db backup of our current SAP system which is on DB2 9.5 and install the target SAP instance directly on DB2 9.7 during the System copy?
Or do we need to install the target SAP instance on DB2 9.5 and then upgrade the system to DB2 9.7 after the System copy procedure.
Please let me know as we need to start the migration at the earliest.
Thanks
D

Hi Deepak,
Yes, that is possible (but only offline backup). But for the new features like reclaimable tablespace (to lower the high watermark)
it's better to export/import with systemcopy.
Also with systemcopy you can use index compression.
After backup and restore you can have also reclaimable tablespace, but you have to create new tablespaces
and then work with db6conv and online table move to move one tablespace online to the new one.
Best regards,
Joachim

SAP system copy error

Hi Experts,
I am currently facing an issue/error while doing a homogeneous system copy with SAP NW 7.4 (SAP ERP 6.0 Ehp7) servers. Both source and target systems are test/demo servers and system copy procedure needs to be established as a part of implementation.

Any help leading to closure of this error is highly appreciated. I have attached all necessary screenshots for your kind reference.

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>
