Hi Gurus,
Can anyone pl. provide inputs on :
- What is Synchronisation Point after System Copy ?
i.e. Say if ECC PROD system is copied to ECC QAS. After this what steps ( High Level Overview ) needed to ensure that
connected systems perform ok ?
Any / ALL Inputs are welcome and highly appreciated.
Many Thanks,

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 ?

Activities post System copy - SAP CRM 5.0

Dear All,
We were having a 3 system (SAP CRM 5.0 SP8) landscape. CRM Dev(CRD), CRM Q (CRQ) & CRM P (CRP) on Oracle 10 and HP UX 11. We have the JDI 7 SP8 instance connected to the CRM dev systemand all the 3 systems were configured as the run time systems in the JDI.
Now we have added a new tier for the Intergation testing called CRM
IST viz CRI there by coming into 4 system landscape (CRD, CRQ, CRI,
CRP). The CRI server is a copy of the CRP box and has been just installed and given to us. We need to do all the post installation activities.
Can you please provide us the proper documentation/ccokbook/check points so as to what all steps to be carried out after this system copy. It would be highly appreciated if you can give us a proper documents & links. We need to give the system to the consultants and before that we need to carry out all the post refresh activities, please help us in this urgently.
Thanks in advance.
Awaiting response.
Thanks & Warm Regards,

Post System Copy Process

Hello,
We are getting ready to install new servers and we will be performing a homogenous copy process to the new servers which will have new names and ID on the network. We would like to run the new servers side by side with the current system so we can test. My questions are:
1) With the systems running on the network together and we are ready to cut over to the new servers, would I just need to backup and restore the DB to the new DB server? Or do I have to go through the whole system copy process again?
2) The first process we are using the R3Load because we have SQL 2000/Windows 2000. I understand the System Copy process with the Export file and then the migration (import) file, but do all of the post processes that are involved according to the System Copy guide have to be implemented again if I am able to simply restore the DB after doing the inital copy as described above?
3) Any thoughts to how I can accomplish running the servers together for awhile for testing then cutting over to the new ones? Any quick notes from the field that would help make this easier?
Thank you all so much,
Jason

Query Designer Issues Post System Copy

Hi All -
We have just performed a system copy from our production to our QA systems. Now, when we trying to view a report from Query Designer in our QA environment, we are being prompted for a username and password - which is trying to log in to our production environment! (I know this because I locked myself out of production trying to log in via our QA Query Designer). We've done all the BDLS runs, updated the RSLOGSYSDEST table poer OSS note 524554, and also updated the tRFC port in WE20. What do we need to do to be able to run a query out of the BW QA system?
Thanks for the assistance.
Abby

Hi Abby,
Once you execute the query from designer you will get one URL generated in the explorer address bar here you will have to change the name of your production app server with quality app server then report will be executed on quality server.
But this is temporary solution, you will have to check with your basis team regarding this and they will have to change some setting in system table and next time onward the system will pick proper URL.

Durgesh.

System copy - CUA how to keep (merge) some of the old target system users ?

Hi,
can anyone suggest if the following is possible and if so, the best way to enable the following within a CUA landscape :-
Standard SAP System Copy of Production to QA.
Cleanup of "Production" user master records in the QA system to remove users not required in QA.
Resend a set of test user id's which existed in the pre-system copy QA system (and still in the QA CUA master system) to the newly copied QA system to merge with the cleaned up QA user master.
Re-link the new QA system with the QA CUA master system to transfer the "merged" list of QA users into the QA CUA.
I've simulated the above on a test server but the process of sending down the sub-set of old QA test id's from the CUA master (using report RSCCUSND) does not create the users in the QA client even though the report itself appears to have transferred the users. Checking SU01 on the target CUA client shows no user has been created and there are no idocs passed from Master --> Client.
Other than either exporting the QA users to a transport before the system copy (for re-import after the system copy to replace the copy of the production user masters with the old QA list), or using the "production" users in QA following the system copy I can't seem to find a way of merging some of the old QA users with a cleaned up list of production users in the QA system post system copy.
If anyone knows of a way to do what I'm suggesting then please let me know.
Brian.

Hi Brian,
I don't think there is an option, directly.
However what I would do is.
Before System Copy
On the QA Side:
1) Create a new client in the QA and only copy user masters in the empty client.
2) In this new client, keep only those users I need after client copy.
3) Take help from ABAP guys to include all usr* table entries (with MANDT field selected only for the new client) into a transport request and save it for later use.
On the Production Side:
1) Export user masters of the production client
2) Create a new client in Production and re-import the user masters
3) Work on the new client to cleanse the unwanted users.
4) Re-export the new user master of the new client and save it for later use.
After System Copy
1) Import the exported user masters from the production server , thus overwriting the client with the users selectively chosen from the production user master.
2) Import the transport request to merge the older users from the QA.
I know this is a crude way.. anyways..
Hope that helps,
Siddhesh

SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5 with Opentext VIM 7.0 - Question on System Copy / Refresh

Hi
We are planning to perform a system refresh of our QA systems (platform: Windows / SQL 2005). The ECC system has Opentext Vendor Invoice Management 7.0 on it.
I was looking for some documentation explaining the Pre and / or Post system copy (refresh) activities specific to Opentext VIM, but could find none so far.
I have tried on Opentext website, SAP SMP and Google.
Are there any VIM specific tasks for system copy ?
Is there any documentation that you can lead me to ?
Any help / lead is appreciated.
thanks
Sree

There shouldn't be any specific procedures for the system copy as there is OpenText VIM add-on installed on the system. As the add-on's are stored in the database you just need to restore the database and do the post refresh activities.

2. Execute transaction SE06
3. Select the Database Copy or migration option
4. Press the Post-installation Processing button.
5. When prompted Do you want to re-install the CTS? Press the Yes button
6. When prompted for the Source System of Database Copy?, make sure that the <SID> of the production system is selected. Press the checkmark button to continue.
7. When prompted Change originals from PRD to QUA?, press the Yes button
8. When prompted Delete TMS Configuration?, press the Yes button
9. When prompted Delete old TMS configuration?, press the Yes button
*10. When prompted Delete Old Versions of transport routes?, press the No button
Howver my developers are getting the errors below when working in DEV system. Its worth noting I didn't make any changes to the DEV system during or after the system copy

I deleted all the 3 systems from the transport routes & reconfigured afresh using a the standard 3 system landscape
I succesfully tested by
1) adding an entry into a table & transporting across the landscape
2) creating a role & transporting across the landscape
The two tests above worked well
The only problem is the errors mentioned earlier that are being encountered by the developers in the DEV system

I 've restored the previous versions as per your instructions. Just waiting for the develpers to give feedback

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

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:

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...

Lars

Post processing after system copy from standalone to cluster enviornment

Hi,
I have done a system copy(Backup restore method) from a standalone quality BW (QBW) system to cluster environment (TBW).
The steps I have followed as follows.
. setup the machines in the cluster environment ( Windows 2003 EE server,sql 2005 SP3)
. Backup the current database in the source system
. Given a different SID (TBW) during the System copy installation .its a dual stack installation.
. Restore the database in the target system and select the back up restore method during the system copy database installation step.
.The installation completed successfully and i m having some doubts regarding the post processing steps after this .
We want to retain the same client in the target system ,for this i need to rename the logical name .Kindly assist me for changing the logical name for the extraction of BW delta process from extraction server to BW system and also the other steps I have to follow after system copy.
Thanks
Arun Padikkal

Hi Arun,
You should probably post this question in a basis forum.

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

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.
