System Copy Doubts

Hi,
I´m going to do a system copy, but I´ve the next doubts:
-It´s necessary to install the target system before the import of the source system or the target system is created with the sapinst and the import of the database image?
-Where are the main activities after post-installation to take in mind? Logical System (bdls), RFC (change @ Ip), transports requests, transport routes redefinition...
More thanks

No, you don't need to install the system prior the copy... SAPINST will install the system as part of the process. (Presuming you are doing a Homo/Heterogeneous system copy)
Where are the main activities after post-installation to take in mind? Logical System (bdls), RFC (change @ Ip), transports requests, transport routes redefinition
Theres millions of threads about this... please do some reading.
Regards

  • Homogeneous System Copy Doubts

    Hi,
    We are planning for the ECC 5.0 Installation on MSCS.
    And we have some doubts over it.
    we need to Install the System in the Cluster Environment of 64 bit OS and Oracle 10g. Where as we have the existing system having OS 32 bit and database Oracle 9i. We need to do a Homogeneous System Copy.
    Do we need to update the Kernel Patch level to the Latest on both the system?
    Is there anyother specific steps to be carried out for this scenario????
    Please Help Me!!!
    Regards
    Kasi

    -> plz check out sapnote n° 960.769 - Windows: Migration fronm 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64)
    -> ECC 50 -> kernel 6.40, which should be fully supported according to the above mentioned sapnote :-D
    -> plz get installation guides (both: system copy AND installation guide für ECC50/ERP2004) and the relevant sapnotes
    -> export of database on oracle 9i and import into 10g is supported and possible when using r3load mechanism

  • BPC system copy doubts

    Hello,
    I need to do a refresh/system copy of our SAP BO BPC 7.5, I want to do a refresh of our development BPC with the production BPC. What I need to do, I don´t understand!
    Can you help me please?
    Thank you,
    samid raif

    Hello Vadim,
    Thank you for your answer. But tell me, this kind of action are not covered in some SAP guides or SAP help? Where is the instructions for this type of procedure?
    We have this SAP BO BPC 7.5 installed in windows server and it´s connected to our BW system installed in other server! I installed both some months ago.
    I installed the CPMBPC component (release 750) SP level 12 in the BW system and I also installed the SAP BusinessObjects, the Planning and Consolidation Server version for SAP Netweaver as you can see in the images bellow
    I need to do a system copy for the BW system (from production to the development system) and also the BPC... I don´t understand this last thing, because... for instance where is the BPC database? I don´t get it!
    Kind regards,

  • System copy from SAP R/3 47x110 with Oracle 10.2 to Oracle 11.2

    Hello,
    I want to do a system copy from SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise 47x110 with Oracle 10.2 to a new machine with same SAP version but with oracle 11.2. (After this I will upgrade to ERP 6.0)
    I will do this with export/import but I don't find any documentation (manuals or notes).
    I only find this:
    Note 1499877 - Oracle 11.2 for R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext. Set 1.10
    but this note is only for a new installation, I don't know if this work with system copy
    Note 516246 - INST- System Copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS 6.20
    This don't have information about oracle 11.2
    I read the manual "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP® Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20" but this also don't say nothing about oracle 11.2
    Can you help me? Where can I find this documentation and what DVDs (master and kernel) should I use?
    Best regards

    Hi Juan,
    Thanks for your answer.
    That is my doubt, what installation master shoud I use for export oracle 10.2 and import in oracle 11.2?
    Note "1499877 - Oracle 11.2 for R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext. Set 1.10" say that I can use installation master of R/3 4.7 Set 2 (47x200) to install a new system.
    I found this media:
    51033746_9 Installation Master 6.20/6.40 Linux on x86_64 64bit
    and
    51040087_7 NW 04 SR1 Inst. Mst. Linux x86_64 64bit f. Oracle 10.2/11.2
    I think this is the note that I need:
    Note 1478351 - Oracle 11g Support on UNIX: 6.40-Based SAP Systems

  • System copy questions

    Let's assume we have two CRM systems CRD(dev&qas system) & CRP(prd system), and corresponding R/3 systems R3D & R3P, As I read some documents concenring system copy within CRM, I still have doubt on the transport strategy.
    on CRD, After making the manual customizing and finish test replication of customizing/master data/transaction data from R3D, we would like to transport the customzing to CRP, and corresponding customizing from R3D to R3P. But I am not sure:
    1. Only manual customizing in CRD will be transported to CRP? how about the customizing object download from R3D(e.g. condition customizing), are they also transported to CRP or need replication again from R3P?
    2. the organizational model transported or need replication again?
    3. internet user transported or need replciation again?
    4. RFC destination transported or need cusotomizing again in CRP?
    5. If I use the same logical system name in CRD & CRP, is there anything I should pay attention to?
    6. number range transported or need cusotomizing again in CRP?
    7. how about the java applications, like ISA web shop xcm settings?
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    1 - You must do an initial download of the R/3 adapter objects such as customising and business data in each system.
    2 - Manually set it up in each system.  If it is large then there is a transport program RHMOVE30.
    3 - Users must be created in each system.
    4 - RFC destination created in each system and all initial set up done (table CRMRFCPAR for example in R/3 prd)
    5 - Create a new logical system name, don't use the same as dev.
    6 - Transport the number range (this should have been done when creating it).  If this hasn't been done already then best to do it start in production due to the current number will not be at the start in dev
    7 - should be on different server so would require new xcm settings to point to the different production server
    Cheers

  • System copy for ECC 6.0 system no j2ee process under MMC

    Dear support,
    This has been observed in many of our clients system which are on ECC 6.0 abap+java system, that after we perform system copy from one system to another
    whether it is Oracle platform or mssql server platform ( system copy for oracle using controlfile script ) ( system copy for mssql with restoring .BAK file from source )
    systems are running fine but j2ee process table showing no processes like
    SDM, dispatcher , server0
    even configtool and go.bat are unable to connect.
    Is there any specific settings we do after system copy for java side
    Please let me know at earliest, as it is most strange thing i have seen in almost all my system where system copy is performed.I have already raised a post against this error but at that time i was not aware of this system copy reason behind the same.
    Best regards,
    AjitR

    Your main problem is not, that you don't see anything in MMC (the system can be added manually without much hazzle) - but is, that you database content of schema SAP<SID>DB does not match the data found on the filesystem.
    If you copy the filesystem structure from production to test/qa, you need to make sure, the database and filesystem are in sync. You will have two problems if you "just copy them":
    - They are out of sync because your production was going on running since you copied the backup files
    - all configuration (all java property sheets) is/are set to point to the production system instead of the test/qa system
    I doubt, that it will work if you copy it over. This also explains, why you can't even start configtool, because it points to the wrong system/schema. You MAY be able to fix all that manually, but you may encounter subsequent errors because not all configuration is documented, you would need to step into the whole j2ee tree and look at each and every propertysheet to find out, whether it's correct or not. Additionally, the database may have other information (see above) and all that may become overwritten during bootstrap.
    So - the best way to get your system up and running quickly is to start sapinst on the source system, export your Java instance (not using ABAP but the Java dump) and re-importing that to your test/qa system.

  • Accounting document not copied after system copy.

    Hi,
    We copied the production system into our test system using backup/restore.  In the post copy verification, our CO team complained because they could not see the "accounting documents".
    What do you think happened why the accounting document was not copied?
    thanks
    krbas

    Hi Krbas,
    Make sure you did all the post processing activities after system copy. I doubt you missed some post processing activities related to CO after your system copy.

  • Formulas not copied during system copy

    Hi All ,
    Recently we copied non-prod quality system to create new Dev system. In the process we have realised that in transformations ,formulas havent been copied to the new system .This is resulting in Processs chains failing with error "Assertion failed"
    Has anybody faced such an issue before . Would appreciate all your help.

  • 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

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

  • Post processing steps after system copy

    Hi experts,
    Please clarify the doubts, reg my situation,
    We don have our development server in synchronous with production server, so we destroyed the existing development client and copied the production client, now the new system logical name  in sm30 in table T000 is MABCLNT900 and also our production server is same,as we copied it from production server, previously our development server was with MAACLNT495 which was mapped with MAQCLNT500 , R3 test sytem,
    in this scenario we want run BDLS tool to change client name in both R3 and BW , Please explain step by step procedure in achieving this,
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    As I understood your system landscape should look like this:
    BW DEV (MAACLNT495) <-> R3 DEV (MAQCLNT500)
    BW PRD (MABCLNT900) <-> R3 PRD (???)
    After BW system copy you should change connections in SM59 and then use BDLS to change logical system name.
    You can also use Restore function for source systems (RSA1).
    Although if you copy both R/3 and BW systems at the same time it's possbile just to keep the same logical system names as they are in productive (it's easier to maintain).
    Please read notes: 886102, 543715, 325470, 325525, 184322, 886102, 184971, 184447, ...

  • Homogeneous System Copy - Help me

    Hi,
    I need to refresh the Training environment with the QAS environment data then I did the client copy from QRP(QAS environment) to TRN (training environment). This copy was made successfully, but with some data inconsistences.
    And then a decided to do a Homogeneous System Copy.
    I did the HSC selecting the option "Standard System Copy/Migration (R3Load-Based) " but exist the another option "System Copy / Oracle Backup/Restore".
    And my doubt is: the process that I need to do is the Standard System Copy / Migration (R3Load-Based) or System Copy / Oracle Backup/Restore?
    And the inverse process (import), can I to install just a Database Instance, once that a Central Instance already exists?!
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dany Anderson

    Hii the process you need to do is system copy . In system copy there are two ways one by using R3load tool and other is backup method. Generally the backup method is faster where all your database will be backedup and copied to the target system. R3load and oracle backup are just two methods of doing system copy.
    homogeneous system copy if your target system is on the same operating system and database system as your source system. The database contents are copied from the source system to the target system.
        You perform a heterogeneous system copy if you want to change the operating system or database system. Migration is another term for a heterogeneous system copy.

  • SID in System Copy.

    Hi,
    We are about to start the Homogeneous system copy. I am very much comfortable with the procedures and the following activities. I have a strange doubt regarding the handling of an SID.
    Say, I am having the data to be exported from DEV(Source SID) system to PRD(Target SID). So the Data DEV to be imported into PRD system. So What is the effect on the import of the SID data of DEV to PRD. Do we need to change any settings in the Database\SAP level after the import.
    Please Help!!!!

    Hello,
    Unless you use a DB specific method then the dump which is created when you export the source system will be "SID" independent. You then specify your new SID when you are installing the target system and sapisnt will handle everything with the exception of a few post installation tasks.
    If you use a DB specific method the schemas and tables in your database will reflect the SID of the source system, this is not necessarily a problem and will work with the new system SID. However, if you wish you can change this at DB level aswell.
    Regards,
    David

  • System copy R/3 Enterprise 4.7

    I need to make a system copy of a system R / 3 Enterprise 4.7 110, is a homogeneous copy, but I doubt if I have to make with the tool I can make a R3load or attach / dettach a homogenous system?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    We Can use backup and restore method to do a system copy .(Ex :PRD--->QAS)
    1) Take a successful online backup of the Source system(PRD) --we need to have the archive logs for the entire duration of the backup.
    2) Remove the data in the Target system.
    3) Restore the backup to the Target system.
    4)On the source system create a control file(using alter database backup control file to trace)  and copy that to the target system.
    5) Change the SID (To QAS) in the trace file which is copied from source.
    6) then craete control file in the traget system by running this altered trace file at SQL prompt.
    7) now apply the logs (these also needs to be restored from PRd and renamed ) recover database.
    once recovery is completed we can open database.
    Thanks..
