System Copy and BW Indexes

Our Basis Admin reports errors on the "P" indexes (on the "E" fact table) while doing a refresh of our sandbox sysem from Dev.
It complains about the indexes being redundant, and it does not create them, even though they're necessary.
Has anyone else run into this, and developed a work-around?

Difference between system copy and Remote Client copy?

Hi,
Can any body suggest me , What are the major difference between System copy and Remote Client Copy.
As per my knowledge , Both are different
1.In system copy entire data recovered mean copy from Source to target
2.In Remote client copy All Client data can't me import if you choose SAP_ALL profile also
I hope Transaction data and user data can't copied
Anybody share this Question and Give me some idea about this
If anybody give brief explanation that is very gratefull.
regards,
Balaram

Hi,
System copy will replicate all database from source to target system.
In remote copy only client in which you are performing the copy will get refresh. Also, remote client copy will be done between systems on same patch level. with SAP_ALL profile you can bring all data in target system including your transactional data.
Thanks

System Copy and Logical system name conversion

Hello All,
Can any one let me know some inputs over these few queries.
1. How much time would a 500+GB clients take for Export and reimport after the system copy.
2. What would be run time of the BDLSS report ( Converting the logical system names) for a typical 1500 GB QTY system
The requirement is my QTY has 3 clients, and i would like to refresh it with my PRD data. How do i safely perform thia activity with the least downtine possible and please note, the clients are around 500+ GB huge..
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

RSA1 infosources under wrong SID after system copy and BDLS has run

Hi we are a BW3.5 SP#21 system on 10202 and hpux 11.23 (ia64). We have an R/3 system connected to the BW system for extracts. Extracts work fine in the productive environment. So 1 production BW system, and 1 production R/3 system. We also have sandbox copies of each made from database copies recently. The environment is as follows:
sid     client     current logical system name     original logical system name after "copy"     system role
BW1     100     FINPBW1100     --     Productive BW system
LH1     100     FINPLH1100     --     Productive R/3 system
LHU     100     FINPLHU100     FINPBW1100     sandbox BW system
LHI     100     FINPLHI100     FINPLH1100     sandbox R/3 system
LHU is a copy of BW1. LHI is a copy of LH1. There is only 1 working client in all systems.
We recently did the copies, creating the LHU/LHI systems. we've completed our "post refresh" checklist on LHU/LHI, including the BDLS work.
BDLS was ran as follows on LHU/100:
>> convert FINPBW1100  FINPLHU100
>> convert FINPLH1100  FINPLHI100
BDLS was ran as follows on LHI/100:
>> convert FINPBW1100  FINPLHU100
>> convert FINPLH1100  FINPLHI100
In RSA1 on sandbox LHU/100, in the "source system" area, the source systems to the sandbox R/3 system LHI/100 tests out ok if you do the check connection and the technical name for the sm59 it points to is correct.
If I check the RSA1 --> Infosources though, and search for LHI.it doesn't find all the "expected" infosources/infopackages.
If instead I search for LH1 it finds the whole list of "expected" infosources/infopackages. But the R/3 system i'm trying to do extracts from is called "LHI" not "LH1".
QUESTION:
does anyone know what needs to happen to convert what we see in RSA1 --> Infosources when searching for LH1 to infosources that we can use which point to LHI it looks like all the data is there in RSA1 -->infosources, it just is under the wrong sid.thanks in advance

Hi Ben,
Sorry to hear that my suggestion did not help. We will have to see what the other experts say!
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bff13df2-0c01-0010-6ba7-bc50346a6fd8
That link is to the document that I followed when setting up a BWQ system new, and we didn't encounter the same problem that you are experiencing. We are also BW 3.5.
I started on Page 17 which is where Section 3.7 starts.
Hopefully that might help, although that may have been what you were following.

System copy and upgrade questions

dear gurus
i have one production box
R/3 version 4.6c
kernel 4.6D sp 1913
DB version Oracle 8.1.7.4.0
OS version Solaris 9
1st QUESTION
if i want to do system copy to new box
with
R/3 version 4.6c
kernel 4.6D sp 1913
DB version Oracle 8.1.7.4.0
OS version Solaris 10 (changed from solaris 9 to 10)
do i need to do homogenous system copy or heterogenous ?
is there any issues between 4.6c and solaris 10 ?
2nd question
if 1st question above is not possible, I want to do homogenous system copy with
R/3 version 4.6c
kernel 4.6D sp 1913
DB version Oracle 8.1.7.4.0
OS version Solaris 9
after that i will upgrade Oracle to 10 and SAP to ECC 6, is it possible to use ECC6 and Solaris 9 ? or do I need to upgrade to Solaris 10 ?
thanks

Hi AC thanks for your reply, anyway from other forum I got the answer already. please see quote below
but anyway i have another plan b that I need to ask.. just in case the new box is installed with Solaris 10
can you please let me know what is the best approach to do the upgrade, please if possible follow my approach in quote below
i have one production box
R/3 version 4.6c 64-bit
kernel 4.6D sp 1913
DB version Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 64-bit
OS version Solaris 9 64-bit
activities in new box
install Solaris 9 64-bit + patches
install Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 64-bit + patches
install R/3 version 4.6c 64-bit (with DB Load from dump from system copy, there is another option to move data file only)
update kernel to latest 4.6d before installing DB instance
upgrade Oracle 2 steps two Oracle 10 + patches
update kernel to 4.6dEX2 (in order to run with Oracle 10)
start SAP
upgrade to ECC6 sr2 + patches (sr2 because we dont want unicode, sr3 installation must be unicode)

System Copy and SOLMAN Key

Hi Gurus,
I just need clarification on this. I plan to build a new system using system copy menthod. Would I require a Key from Solution Manager for this new installation?
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
SS

Hi
You'll need to install new license key after the system copy.
You must first delete all old licenses in tcode SAPLICENSE, then, request a new license at http://service.sap.com/licensekey
to do this you will also need a a new hardware key which helps in creating a new license key...
make sure you delete the system in the service market place and create a new system with the hardware key you get and then request the license.
Cheers,
Chaith

System Copy and Rapid Installer

Hi,
We have installed EP6.0 SPS13 using Rapid installer 2.5 and now we want to 'system-copy' this. The system copy installation guide talks about getting the required DVDs ready. There is only two DVDs in RI2.5. Is it possible to system - copy a RI installation?
Thanks
Raj Balakrishnan

Hi Raj,
interesting question. In fact, the RI base /is/ a system copy itself. Anyhow, I would expect this to work, too.
Have you just tried it meanwhile? Any results?
Best regards

System copy and database refresh

Can any one nagotiate me about system refresh and databaswe refresh.

Hi,
System Copy means copying the contents of the system into another including data i,.e Table Data. It comprises entire user settings, data will be copied.
In the database refresh, table contents (data) are refreshed.

Differene between system copy and system refresh

Hi all
can you please tell me the difference among SYSTEM COPY,SYSTEM REFRESH and DB REFRESH

I would consider them all the same. Maybe a "refresh" could be stated as "I restore a backup onto an already installed system" where as system copy means "I install a new system with a backup of another one" but mainly they all mean the same.

Hi,
Table split option is used for very large databases, you can use normal export/import method.
What is your database size ?
I had done UC for databases upto 1.5 TB, never used table split technique.
Keep it simple while doing complex tasks.

Db13 after system copy and oracle upgrade.

Dear support,
I have 40B system with Oracle 8.1.7.4 with SID as PRD. Now i have copied the same to TST system and i forgot to perform ops$ mechanism setup in TST system as part of post database refresh.
Now i have upgraded database to oracle 9.2.0.5 and since DB13 jobs are not getting executed i have done following settings,
New SID is TST.....
create user "OPS$TSTADM" identified by TST;
grant connect, resource, dba to "OPS$TSTADM";
CONNECT "OPS$TSTADM"
select * from dba_users where username like 'OPS%' ;
alter user "OPS$TSTADM" temporary tablespace PSAPTEMP ;
create table sapuser as select * from "OPS$prdADM".sapuser ;
select * from dba_tab_privs where table_name = 'SAPUSER' ;
create user "OPS$SAPSERVICETST" identified externally ;
grant select, insert, update on sapuser to "OPS$SAPSERVICETST" ;
create synonym "OPS$SAPSERVICETST".sapuser for "OPS$TSTADM".sapuser ;

Change Object Server in SLD after system copy and SLD move?

Hello,
we did the following:
- we migrated the SLD to the production system in our landscape
- we copied the NWDI to a new system
- the old object server was named sapsrv88 (object server attribute in the SLD) which was the hostname of the old SLD server
Do I have to change the object server attribute to the new hostname of the SLD? Does this have any influence on the software components that we allready developed?
Thanks and best regards
Jens

Hello Jens,
you can rename the object server - details you'll find in SAP note 935245
When you rename it, the ID of the objects in the SLD is changed to the new ID, so normally you shouldn't have any problems with that.
If you're unsure about it, you can backup your SLD content using "Administration => Content => Backup => All Instances" - that backs up everything under /sld/active
or backup the software components you devoped using http://<hostname>:5<instance-no.>00/SCD/SCDownload
Best regards

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

EP 70 backup and system copy

Dears
I would like to clarify some issues about EP :
1) how to backup an EP 70 installation
It's enough to backupo the database or there is something on the filesystem to save ?
2) how to perform a DB copy with EP 70.
It's possible to use the Backup/Restore or it's mandatory to use the export/import method ?
