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)

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

I have a license for photoshop 10. Can I download a copy and upgrade it?

I have a license for photoshop 10. Can I download a copy and upgrade it?

You can also buy CS6 for $700 instead of paying $10 a month the first year for Photoshop CC followed by $20 a month till Adobe changes the monthly charge for CC. If you stop paying your copy of CC will deactivate at some point. And PSD files saved with CC will all not be fully compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. Your new Actions and scripts may also not be compatible with older versions of Photoshop.

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.

Homogeneous System Copy to Upgrade Propouse

Hi all,
We're pretending to do a Homogeneous System Copy from a SAP ECC 5.0 that runs on Windows_X64 Server with DB2 8.1 . The target DB release is DB2 9.5 ( Windows_X64 Server).
We've read from IBM Help Page that DB2 8.2 it can be upgraded directlly to 9.x.
What is the right roadmap?
OPTION 1:
Backup offline of old DB2 8.1 enviroment.
- Run sapinst install centrall instance
- Run sapinst to install Database instance with 9.5 RDBMS full installation.
- Restore backup from 8.1 ?
or it will be:
OPTION 2:
Backup offline of old DB2 8.1 enviroment.
- Run sapinst install centrall instance
- Run sapinst to install Database instance with DB2/UDB RDBMS V8 FP18 Windows_X64 Server - Full Install .
- Restore backup from 8.1
- Upgrade to 9.5 ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi,
are you really using DB2 V8.1 ( DB2 V8 with fixpack level < 7 ) ?
not sure if OPTION 1 works since your DB2 V8 version is so old. Is it an option to upgrade your fixpack level on your source database first and apply OPTION 1 afterwards.

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 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.

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 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.
Good thread discussion:

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.

Instalation and upgrade questions.

My daughter has photoshop cs4 via one of the suites (design premium).
It was originally installed on her old computer as a 32 bit version.
She now has a 64 bit machine. I drive imaged the old drive to the new machine and did all the hardware drivers, and it is working perfectly.
It is vista home premium.
How can she upgrade to the 64 bit version of photoshop without breaking her installation or loosing any of her work?
If I upgrade her OS to windows 7 Pro (x64), will that be a problem?
I have downloaded the master suite trial instalation files onto my drive. My goal is to create an installation dvd set and use it to install trial versions of the various products on a couple of different machines. The entire folder structure is over 8 gig, So i need two DVDs.
How do i split the resulting un compressed master suite installation folders to two dvds so that it functions as an install dvd?
If my son ends up buying just one product (say dreamweaver), Can he unlock the copy of dreamweaver that was installed via the master suite install dvd? or does he have to uninstall the master suite copy and re-install the dreamweaver cs4 download?
If the trial expires, can he unlock it at some point later if he purchases a key?
Does each product within the master suite have its own trial expiration date based on when that particular product was installed? or once you install one product from the master suite install dvd, the date is set for all products?
Thanks

How can she upgrade to the 64 bit version of photoshop without breaking her installation or loosing any of her work?
You can't. This can only be done wit ha proper install after the old stuff has been uninstalled. You won't lose any work, the installers only care for their own files, not user-generated data.
If I upgrade her OS to windows 7 Pro (x64), will that be a problem?
Just to be on the safe side, always deactivate, then re-activate after the update.
How do i split the resulting un compressed master suite installation folders to two dvds so that it functions as an install dvd?
You cannot. Installer spanning only works if you downloaded or bought the proper DVD version that is already pre-configured into two separate packages. Use an external hard drive or memory stick to transport the files instead.
Can he unlock the copy of dreamweaver that was installed via the master suite install dvd?
No. Suites ands standalone products have completely different serials and since the DW will be tied to the suite install, a standalone serial won't work.
If the trial expires, can he unlock it at some point later if he purchases a key?
Yes, that's the plan.
Does each product within the master suite have its own trial expiration date based on when that particular product was installed?
No, the suite is timebombed as a whole, which again relates to how it is supposed to handle serialization with only one number.

Cannot answer you definitely about installing 64 bit Photoshop but I suggest inserting the DVD and installing Photoshop only. The DVD should pick up that you're on a 64 bit OS and offer you 64 bit Photoshop.
I suggest clean installing Windows 7, rather than upgrade installing. That would mean reinstalling all software and drivers but it's the most reliable method in my experience.

I suspect you'll struggle to split Suites to install individual products on various machines (if that's what you mean). Suites are far more than a simple collection of the individual software titles. They're tightly integrated, must be installed on the same machine together and are all tied to a single suite serial number which is unrelated to the individual product serial numbers. I believe the downloaded Suite file has to be installed as one.
I don't know of a way to burn the downloaded file across 2 DVDs.
If your son only purchases Dreamweaver, he'll have to uninstall the Master Suite and re-install the DW download.
If the trial expires, it'll keep showing a Trial has expired screen and you cannot go further. Once you enter a valid serial number, it'll launch normally.
My understanding of the Suites is that all products are integrated. Once the trial version of a single product in the suite is launched, my understanding is that the clock starts ticking for all products in the suite. That said, I have not tried launching individual products in the Trial versions more than 30 days apart.

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" ;

Copying and upgrading an HFM App

Hello All,
I need to upgrade our current 11.1.1.2 HFM application to HFM 11.1.2.2. I am relatively new to HFM and want to plan out the steps necessary for this. My specific questions:
1. Copy the existing application - is there a copy app utility for release 11.1.1.2 or can I use the copy app that comes with 11.1.2.2?
2. Any challenges or issues I should be aware of with the Copy App process?
3. I assume (still researching) that there is an upgrade utility?
4. Any challenges or issues with the upgrade that I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
The usual steps are:
1. Run copy application utility to copy application the original app to the new environment
2. Run schema upgrade utility.
When you will configure your new environment, you will use the copy app to copy the HFM application from the old database to the new database. The copyapp wizard will copy data and audit data if you wish. Oracle usually suggests to download the latest version from mysupport and read the manual in order to understand all the different options. The schema upgrade utility is a simple tool that will convert your application to 11.1.2.2 and you should not do any changes.
For more info: Doc ID 968956.1
There is a similar process for FDM.
Good luck with the upgrade. I hope that you would not have any issues.
Regards,
Thanos
