SLD & NWDI Hetergeneous system copy

Hello,
1. I want to perform a SLD and NWDI hetergeneous system copy from SUN to AIX.
2. If anyone has performed can you share your experience and documents.
3. SLD and NWDI are on seperate servers.
Regards
Deepak

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.
How do i rectify this?
I also trigerred an SLD Datatransfer with success. But still after that also I see the same Red message :" SLD Data collector task "
Points are awarded for your help.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Export for system copy fails - Error 9 (Bad file number)

Hello all,
I am attempting to perform the export phase for a hetergenous system copy on our BI system (BI 7.0 - NW2004s). This system runs on HP-UX 11.11 using Oracle 10.2.0.2 and will be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005, once the export is complete.
While running sapinst to export the data from the source system, there are several input dialog screens that are skipped, which means I am not able to enter all the paramters used for the export. After seeing this behavior from sapinst, I reviewed the sapinst.log and sapinst_dev.log files and find the warning/error "System call failed. Error 9 (Bad file number)". I have included a portion of these files below.
I have reviewed notes 546006 and 583861, but these seem to refer to an Oracle error ORA-27121, but I am not receiving any Oracle errors in sapinst.log or the Oracle alert log. I have looked for possible permission or ownership problems with any of the SAP or Oracle files, but have not found any that were incorrect. Also, these errors do not specify which file sapinst is having problems with, so I do not have a specific file or area to check.
If anyone has seen something similar to this and has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I did confirm the points you made, and have the details below.
1. check filesystem, if you have enough space, especially /tmp
All filesystems have available space, and /tmp has 310 MB available, before the start of sapinst.
2. check again alert log, trace log for Oracle,
I could not find any errors in the alert_SID.log or any unusual trace files.
3. How did you run sapinst? Are you using "root" account.
I am running sapinst as user root and I am following all the recomendations in the system copy guide (at least as far as I can tell. ;p )
We have four BI systems in this landscape, and the other three have migrated successfully. The procedure I am using, is the same as for the other 3 systems and uses the same SAP media directory that was used on the other systems.
One other item that may be part of my problem here, is that this system is the production system, and was originally installed as a high-availability system, using HP-UX Service Guard for clustering. Currently, this system does not have fail-over enabled, but of course the cluster is still intact. One required piece of the Service Guard enviornment is the use of a virtual hostname. This seems to resolve successfully by sapinst, as I see the correct (virtual) hostname referenced several times. While this is a clustered system (for fail-over purposes), the CI and DB are installed on the same host. So it is not a distributed system, and if failover had been initiated, it would fail both the CI and DB instance, which is the same and only SAP instance.
This did raise one question in my mind, however. I am attempting to extract this using the following menu path within sapinst.
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3 --> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Source System Export --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java
Since this does use Service Guard, but is not a distributed system, should I be using a different path in the sapinst tree, for the export? I have only performed a migration using the above path, so I am not familar with the detailf of the other types, such as High-Availabitly or Distributed-System.

Rusty

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.

System Copy XI 3.0 - do I need a new SLD?

I am planning to refresh my Sandpit XI system from my Development environment on XI 3.0, WAS 6.40, NW04. I have the system copy guide version 1.1 which states that I need to migrate to a new SLD. At present, I have one SLD for my Sandpit / Dev /QA environments and a second for Prd.
The documentation explicitly states that I have to migrate to a new SLD, but I don't really want to have to maintain another one. Has anyone experience of this? And do I really need to create a new SLD for this.?
Thanks in advance.
Graham

Graham,
If your present Sandpit and Dev SLD's are same and you are trying to refresh sandpit with Dev, in this case it is not required to create new SLD.

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

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

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

PI 7.11 sp6 system copy causes target sys to register with source

Experts,
We have a PI 7.1 (EHP1, sp6) PI system based on AIX 6.1 OS and Oracle 11g.
I recently did the standard PI system copy from a prod source (PIP) to a training target (PIT).
I used the most recenty PI system copy guide that is specific for PI 7.1 EHP1
I did not run into any major problems doing the steps of the itself.
I did the usual "post" steps, documented in the guide that really are done on any NW system.
Then I got into the specific "PI" post steps and that's where I now have a problem.
I could not run the "wizard for post copy" since I'm on 7.11sp6. Yes, I know they "downported" it but I don't have those latest LMtools type packages. Anyway, I'm OK with that.
I followed all the steps, fixing my RFCs, JCos, Destinations, cleaning up SLD, SLDAPICUST, creating new business systems...etc.
My big problem is with the exchange profile. Yes, it's easy to change all the SIDs and hostnames using the search tool for all the parameters in the exchange profile, but the one I COULD NOT CHANGE was the "ABAP Connection". In there right after the copy was the hostname of the prod system, the client, and the user PILDUSER. I attempted to put the hostname of my target (PIT) system, but I would get the error:
RFC 399 unable to connect
I'm certain the user is NOT locked and the password is correct for PILDUSER.
Worse yet, If I left the hostname in there that was set to "prod", then when I changed all the other values in the "parameters" section of the XI profile, then it actually changed my PROD system!!
If I keep the ABAP connection to PIT, then the entire exchange profile disappears for PIT.
Also, now my PROD system shows the PIT system as a "non-central adapter engine".
Ughh! I'm totally stuck. I'm not sure what to do.
It's as if the PIT (PI training) system somehow is linked to PIP (PI prod). It's like PIT doesn't think he is his own box...
Any ideas? I'm resisting opening a message because this will be so hard to explain to sap support.
--NICK

Hi Nick,
We went thru the same issue. Fortunately, it was between Dev to sandbox. I stopped the dev system and changed the exchange profile parameters to sandbox hostname and brought the Dev up to fix the issue.
Prod showing as Non-Central Adapter engine :- Check your Business System in SLD and In CIM Instances in SLD, check your XI Integration server assigned to right Business System.
Note 764176 - Error in XI due to inconsistent SLD contents :- helped me come over PI post step issues.
Thanks,
Arjun

+There is problem reading the hostname from the ClusterManager. This could lead to improper wsdl links.#
SLDCHECK shows this:

Access to the XI Profile is currently disrupted.
I can't be the first person to run into this.
SO strange that I can actually plug in either my dev/QA or PROD hostname in the "ABAP connection" box and it WILL ACCEPT IT...but then, it registered my training system as a "non central adapter engine". I don't want that.
Any ideas?
Another issue is that the SLD PI information from the PIT system is missing the "Integration Directory". It has the other 5 entries...Adapter Engine, Domain, Integration Repository, Integration Server, RWB.
Thanks for reading this,
NICK

System copy for PI 7.0 system

Hi,
We are doing system copy for complete landscape and every time we used to perform PI system copy using SAP standard procedure of backup/restore, Java exp/imp.
But can we use another approach of exporting IR/ID from source to Target. Because we do not have any transactional data in PI and what are different things that we need to take care if we export individual components.
Like new ports, we20,we21, IDX1,IDX2
Thanks,
Venkat.

to elaborate more,
we are doing system copy from Dev to Sandbox (we already have working sand box)
I am planning below steps
1) export all the software components from development system - Integration repository and Directory
2) Adjust the transport path in SLD (source Dev and target Sandbox)
3) Import the software components to Sandbox for Integration repository and Directory.
4) change user-passwords to match sandbox authentication.
Please let me know if i am missing any steps and has any one did a copy by above procedure.
Thanks,
Venkat.

XI 3.0 post system copy issue

Hi Experts,
We are using XI 3.0 on Windows and MSSQL platform, i have made system copy sucessfully from production system with process of DB restore for ABAP and Java Import, the new server is up and running both abap and java.
Problem : In the newserver when i execute the tcode sxmb_ifr it takes me to production server url and not the new server hostname url.
when i tried the http://newserver hostname.com:50000 it works fine. but from this url except home page every other link like exchaneprofile, SLD,IR and ID links still points to the production server host name.
Please look at the following post installation activities i have performed till now in new serverand please guide where else i have to change the host name in the new server.
Note: i did not cange the logical system assignment in scc4, beacuse i was not sure about the other problems we may face after directly assigning new logical system to the productive client in new server.
1. Run installation check: Administration u2192 System administration u2192 Administration u2192
Installation Check (transaction SM28).
2. Configure the Workbench Organizer (SE06) with the option Database Copy. This
releases all transport, repair, and customizing requests that have not been released in
the source system.
3. Configure STMS
4. In transaction RZ70, change the value for the host and the gateway service in the group box
Transport Information
5. Change the pipeline to the Integration Server by running transaction SXMB_ADM   -> Configuration -> Integration Engine Configuration
6. Open Visual Administrator -> Change the new host name in the following
                services -> Jcorfcprovider all the services
                 services -> SLD Suppiler
7. Host name Change in SLDAPICUST
Note: In the SAP system copy guide it says me to chane few parameters in exchange profile but when i go through the url http://newserver hostname.com:50000/exchangeProfile it takes me to production server, is there any option to change the exchange profile parameters ?
Please help me.
Thanks

Hi,
the explanation of some of the thing you have written is clearly that the AII-Properties of the XI system have still not been switched.
The properties must be changed once - afterwards the URL to the exchange profile and all other URLs should become valid.
The key is therefore to change the exchange profile. Try please the to access the exchange profile by using the ip address or the fully
qualified name of the new server http://<newserver>:<port>exchangeProfile/connection.jsp
Did I get it right - you are redirected to the URL http://<oldserver>:<port>exchangeProfile/connection.jsp ?

XI 3.0 System Copy - Exchange Profile incorrect

Good day,
I have copied an XI 3.0 according to the system copy guides.
I had the source system "live" as well as the "target" during post processing. During this time, I had the hostname of target populating my source SLD Exchange Profile.
As I cannot find anything documented, can anyone advise what the process should be do achieve a system copy.
Must the source be unavailable(down altogether) when doing the copy and post processing?
Any input from anyone who has been through this process will be geatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek

when i tried the http://newserver hostname.com:50000 it works fine. but from this url except home page every other link like exchaneprofile, SLD,IR and ID links still points to the production server host name.
Please look at the following post installation activities i have performed till now in new serverand please guide where else i have to change the host name in the new server.
Note: i did not cange the logical system assignment in scc4, beacuse i was not sure about the other problems we may face after directly assigning new logical system to the productive client in new server.
1. Run installation check: Administration u2192 System administration u2192 Administration u2192
Installation Check (transaction SM28).
2. Configure the Workbench Organizer (SE06) with the option Database Copy. This
releases all transport, repair, and customizing requests that have not been released in
the source system.
3. Configure STMS
4. In transaction RZ70, change the value for the host and the gateway service in the group box
Transport Information
5. Change the pipeline to the Integration Server by running transaction SXMB_ADM -> Configuration -> Integration Engine Configuration
6. Open Visual Administrator -> Change the new host name in the following
services -> Jcorfcprovider all the services
services -> SLD Suppiler
7. Host name Change in SLDAPICUST
Note: In the SAP system copy guide it says me to chane few parameters in exchange profile but when i go through the url http://newserver hostname.com:50000/exchangeProfile it takes me to production server, is there any option to change the exchange profile parameters ?
Please help me.
Thanks

XI system copy

Hello,
I'm going to clone my xi. As I'm reading the homogeneous and heterogenous system copy for java and abap. I'm to the following conclusion. I need to do a oracle server specific copy. And do a sid rename on db level and in abap side with se06.
but what about the java part? and what about the xi msg's that are in the systems and the adapters? Should i disable some adapters? and so on.
In the java system copy there are some configur ation steps for xi. telling about sld integration server, exchange profile,cache,... but they are not telling about the msg's that still are in the system.
What are the steps that I'm missing?
Chris

hi
If XI is running ong NW4S then you can use standard system copy guide for ABAP+Java.
I dont know how many interfaces you have configured in your XI box, I also requested to make a copy of XI box.
Easy way is for XI 3.0
1. Install XI 3.0 with different SID & apply all the SPs & Kernel patch as source.
2. Create new business systems with target group
2. Synchronize SLD using full export/import
3. Export the Software components from Source & import to target
4. export the Configuration Scenario & import to target.
This activity would take 24 working Hrs to build but its easy & consistent way to build a copy of existing system (This is my experience).
Best luck

Exchange profile pointing to old hostname after the system copy

Hi Team,
I did system copy of SAP XI3.0 SP19 from host HOST1 (Windows 2003 , MS SQL 2005 SP3)to HOST2 (Windows 2008 R2, MS SQL 2005 SP3)with the same SID . I am using same SID as i will have to upgrade XI3.0 to PI7.1 EHP1 on the new host(trying to use parallel environment).
The copy is fine and Java is up, however , there is some problem with the exchange profile of the new host.It has IR, ID, RWB,SLD hosts pointing to HOST1.When i try to change the host to HOST2 and save it gives me this message
RFC call returned an error code: 300

Connection tab in the exchange profile points to HOST2.I ensured SLDAPICUST,SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine points to HOST2 ,also maintained the Pipe LIne URL to point to HOST2.I have followed the follow -up activities of system copy guides .But the issue is not resolved , exchange profile does not allow me to change the hostnames of IR, ID ,RWB.
Could you please help me with this issue?
Is the issue because of using same SID on different hosts?
Thanks,
Padmaja.

Hello,
You need to change host name manually in to Exchange profile, RFC, JCo and make sure PI is connected to SLD.
Cheers,

Update integration directory and repository content after PI system copy

We are on PI 7.1, We are trying to figure out the best way to update the contents in sld, integration directory and repository after system copy. currently we delete everything in sld, ID and IR then reimport all the content to get everything in-sync. Is there an easier way to do it, ex. just update the system in sld and the matching contents in IB and IR?
Thanks,
Jane Zhou

Hi Jane
This completely depends on the nature of the system copy and your SLD architecture and operational requirements
Will the source system remain available or operational ?
Is the target SLD proposing to use satellite systems already defined in the source SLD ?
When doing a system copy the following should be considered
1) If you create an import line from a previous SLD via export or sync
- that SLD has to continue to be available for further updates or sync
2) If you create a system copy, any target specific configuration like hostname, port, SID
may needed to be adapted in target landscape
3) Further considerations are needed if 1 satellite will point to 2 SLDs at the same time both for operational use
Its very easy to take a back-up or full or partial import from one SLD and put it into another or indeed sync between SLDs
however the key is to ensure the target SLD content is consistent and useable in the same way as the source SLD
Hope this helps
Stuart
