System Copy of ERP 6.0 ABAP using SAPINST

Hi guys.
This is a quite simple question regarding system copy. I have done this on a ABAP+JAVA and since i have to perform an only ABAP system copy, i have a doubt related copy process flow.
Im aware for ABAP+JAVA systems you have to perform the export of the Java files, therefore EXPORT is mandatory
Ok, now if the system is only ABAP, and i already have a Backup File and/or attach/deattach the database files.
Do i need to perform the export on the source system, or just by running the SAPINST and selecting system copy -> target system i would be able to copy the system
Thanks

Hi Martin,
You can follow SAPINST to export your source database and import the same into target database as you have performed in your ABAP+JAVA system.
In case you want to go with option of attaching/detaching database, you should refer the following SAP notes.
Note 151603 - Copying an SQL Server database
Above note has steps to perform the database copy using attach/detach method.
Note 767691 - Migration of SAP Systems to/from MS SQL Server

Middleware issues due to System copy on ERP

Hi Middlewware Gurus,
We are currently on CRM 5.2 and the backend ERP system is 4.6C. In our project we are currently exchanging only BP data but going forward we will exchanging Sales Quotation and Materials. Currently the CRM system is not live but the ERP system is live and the client has a process for overlaying their ERP QAS with the Production system every month. We recently have installed the CRM QAS system and connected it with the ERP QAS system. But before downloading any data into CRM, client has done a system copy of ERP Prod to ERP QAS. Due to this the logical system names got changed and outbound queues in ERP were failing with an error. Based on our experiences in earlier projects, we ran BDLS in the ERP QAS and our problem got solved.
Because of the huge data in the ERP system, the BDLS Tx. ran for almost 6 hrs for which client is against doing so. We would be facing this issue with Logical System everytime there is a system copy of ERP Prod onto ERPQAS. Is there a way to identify the tables that for relevant for CRM Middleware and update the Logical system directly in those tables using a custom progrm. With this approach, we will be eliminating the long runtimes for executing BDLS. With BDLS, you have to again bring the system down and lock out the users. One table which I could identify is CRMPRLS. If anyone has a list of those tables or know a way to identify these tables, please let me know.
Thanks for the help.

Karthik

System Copy for SAP Netweaver 2004 ABAP and Java

Dear Friends,
We are planning to do System copy for CRM 4.0 (ABAP+Java) from PROD to Quality.
Production has following
Production
CRP (ABAP+JAVA, Oracle 10g)
CR1 (Java Standalone, CRM Applications, Oracle 10g)
CR2 (Java Standalone, CRM Applications, Oracle 10g)
Test
CRT (ABAP+JAVA, Oracel 10g)
CR1 (Java Standalone, CRM Applications, Oracle 10g)
As per my understanding perfrom System Copy in two methods
1. Using Offline backup of CRP from the Split Mirror backup.
2. Export of the CRP from the Split Mirror backup.

If you have Split Mirror available you could definitely use it. Redirected restore or export/import are the alternatives.You could also use file copy (system offline is preferred).

Hi
Thanks,
I need to add these SAPDATAs also to the

(As per note 498395 - Installation aborts at step GETDBSIZEKEYS_IND_IND)
It seems I have not mentioned the SAPDATA10 in the DBMIG.R3S file.

System Copy of XI 6.40 ABAP+JAVA

Hi
In our XI landscape, we have XI development server and XI production server. We would like to create the
XI Quality instance for testing. Also we want to refresh XI devepolment server from XI production server.
Here XI 3.00 is installed on Unix platform with Oracle 10g database (SAP WebAS 6.40).
Pls let me know the following:
1. Can i create the XI quality server with System copy option from XI production server? or do i have
     to create XI quality server with the new installation? What would be the best option?
2. I 'm not able to get the system copy process of SAP Web AS 6.40 for XI. Pls forward me system copy
    document or send me SAP link for the same. I have the System Copy document for system based   on SAP NW 2004s SR1 ABAP+ JAVA. Can i use this document?
Thanks
Amar

Hello,
the System Copy document for system based on SAP NW 2004s SR1 ABAP+ JAVA is he wrong version for your system since it is based on 640 aka NW 2004. The "s" is very essetial.
A System Copy is possible in XI 3.0 (=640) as long as your NW SP is at least SP 14.
For more details please check the SAP Note 971645.
for your conveniance I copied from this note the most importend additional link :
You find the current version of the Java system copy guide on
SAP Service Marketplace at:

Please read both, SAP Note and SAP Documentation for the intended copy.

NW04 system copy : we only need the abap stack

Hello,
We have a BW 3.5 Production environnement :
Netweaver 04
Oracle 9.2
ABAP + JAVA stack have been initially installed on the same server but the java instance parameters have been since deactivated. The Java stack has never been used.
Now, we're planning to install the same BW 3.5 QAS environnement (only the abap stack), configure it, and afterwards perform a typical homogeneous system copy (backup/restore) from the production environnement.
Since we don't need at all the java part, do you think that could work ? Is there any risk of inconsistency ?
Or do we have to install double a stack QAS enviroonement and then perform the system copy based on sapinst
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.

You will have to perform following steps
1. Export the CI system on Source system
2. Clone the source Database to Target database. We have used IBM's Flash copy tool to accomplish that.
3. On target install SCS , restore the DB and then import CI.
We also have dual stack in ECC Production environment and we don't use JAVA as much.
If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks

Homogeneous System copy for Netweaver 2004S SR1 ABAP+JAVA- Oracle/windows

Hi All,
I am planning to do Homogeneous System copy of our production system to New Test system which SID is different from production system. I don't want to do system copy through SAPinst(R3load) because I cannot down our production server. I want to create the New test system from the offline back.
I have already installed our new system. I want to do system copy through Oracle-Specific Procedure as mentioned in the system copy documents.
Could you please tell me how to do sytem copy step by step and how to change the SID.
Thanks in advance.

System copy --- Import issue in Import ABAP phase

HI Team, We are doing migration using system export/import method from win2008/SQL2008 to Win2012/SQL2012 . While doing export there was a problem with table SOFFCONT1 , So we have followed the note 1922094 and changed the size of the package from 1 GB to 2 GB in SOFFCONT1.cmd , After this We have exported the data from the source system using SWPM tool. Now we are importing in to Target system , During the Import ABAP phase we are facing the below issue for same table SOFFCONT1 . Could you please tell us how to fix this issue .

Homegneous System copy Specific DB method Oracle Backup/Restore Sapinst

Hello colleagues,
Following the documentation, I´ve one doubt about the above method, is it needed to install again the SCS instance when the system is installed in one host and we want just to refresh database.
I mean, we want to refresh CRM quality system from Production system. It´s a ABAP+JAVA system, so i have to prepare a backup and export Central instance through sapinst in source system.
Afterwards it´s needed to follow the three steps in sapinst, Install SCS instance, Install database instance and install central instance (database copy section) . Or as we´ve already installed our quality CRM system, it´s just enough with installing database instance and central instance (using backup/restore method and exported data from source system)
Thanks a lot for this info because in the SAP guides it´s not clear from my point of view.
Regards

Well i didnot get your question properly, but as per my understanding if you have only ABAP instance installed then you can go with the Database resoration method but as you said ABAP+JAVA instance both are there so in that case you need to build the export of complete system through Sapinst and then you cn perform the same export file to install the target system which will be your Quality.
Another option is that just restore the database via database restoration method then try to restore the JAVA stack by file system method which is i think not supported by SAP if i am not wrong but it can be done i tired the same on XI system.

Installation Master DVD Distributed Java System Copy menu missing

Hello Gurus
We want to perfom an Java system copy of our EP 6.0 using sapinst
The source OS is Solaris 8.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
The target OS is Solaris 10.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
Our architecture is Distributed , CI is running on a system and DB server on another system.
For this operation we use the master DVD 51033746_12 but we have an issue in exporting the DB as the
Option for exporting the DB on a Distributed system is not displayed on the sapinst Menu .
We followed the last guide taken from sap 'Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 SR 1' and this option should be listed
Excerpt:
Choose the installation service SAP NetWeaver u201904 Support Release 1--> Java System --><DB> --> Distributed System --> Migration - Database Export.
Unfortunately the Distributed system is not displayed and though we are stuck at the export step .
I could not find any sapinst patches . Is it a known issue for Soalris system and is there a Workaround .
Thanks for your help
De Palma Lionel .

Hello
Thanks for your answer . Unfortunately this option is not available as we are using a NW04 SR1 system , not a nw'2004's one . With the latest master install (Installation_Master_6.20_6.40_05_08 51033746_5 )we have the choice of
System copy Source --> Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
--> HA Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
System copy Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Central system-> Migration Data export
Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Distributed system -> Migration Target Central instance / Db instance install
The Distributed system is available for Import option but no for the export one .
My questions are :
- Can we use a master nw2004's master DVD for system copy on a Nw'04s one ?
- As the central instance is hosted on different system than DB instance , should I use the HA option ?

ECC6 EHP2 (ABAP+Java) system copy using file system copy

Hello Experts,
I have a question around system copy method for a dual stack ECC6 EHP2 system.
We are planning to take full file system backup of this entire ECC6 EHP2 dual stack system and throw it on a completely new hardware with new host name but same SID. We are also planning to do a host renaming in instance profiles and re-building the control files in target system after we finish the file system restore.
Is this method supported in SAP ? Or we strictly have to use SAPinst to do export and import method. In any case our source and target platform is not going to chance as per our scenario.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harshal

> Thanks for the quick response. Is their any document that says it is not supported ? Because of no proper document that says no to do it, client want's to try it out.
For the ABAP part this is certainly feasible.
The Java part has not only issues with the secure store but also with SID and hostname. The old values are stored in many places in the database and in, depending on the applications installed, many .properties files in the filesystem. So it would be not enough to somehow regenerate the secure store but also change hostname and SID in different places that are not really all documented.
What you are basically looking for is
Note 757692 - Changing the hostname for J2EE Engine 6.40/7.0 installation
with the significant sentence
This note should be applied only when the hostname of a machine
where the j2ee engine was already installed has changed.
It does not replace the SAP official system copy procedure and
MUST NOT be used for copying of an instance to another host and/or with different SID.

ABAP + JAVA system copy

Hi
My enviroment is SAP ECC 6 (ABAP + Java add in though we don't use the Java stack) on Oracle 10g/Solaris 10.
I intend to do a system copy(PRD to QAS) using offline backup/restore method. Is this possible for a ABAP + JAVA system using this method ?
Thanks

> Karan , I'm just wondering I'm i supposed to do two separate system copies in the case ie One ABAP (backup/restor) & the other for Java(export/import)?
Read the system copy guide.
Basically you will
- start sapinst on the source system and choose "database specific method"
- start sapinst on the target system and select the same

Use hdblcmgui for system copy

I used to use SWPM/sapinst to migrate BW from row-based DB (e.g. MaxDB, Oracle, etc.) to Hana.
Now hdblcm and hdblcmgui are the exclusive tools to handle SAP hana install/upgrade/copy.
However in my preview on hdblcm and hdblcmgui , I cannot find DB export or DB import option.
I have searched Hana SPS08 documentation and failed to find any info about system copy using hdblcm or hdblcmgui.
There are 2 parameters for hdblcm to rename a Hana system, however it cannot keep the source system. If we want to clone a Hana system, i.e. keep the source system while cloning it to a target system, what is the parameter?
Thanks if you can include some screenshots or links about this question.
Regards.

Hi,
You don't use hdblcm/hdblcmgui to perform system migration/system copy. You still need to use SWPM to export from source DB and import into HDB.
You use LCM tools (hdblcm/hdblcmgui) to install HDB, update HDB, rename HDB and for full usage, refer to the note below:

SAP SQL System Copy backup restore method with ADS(Adobe document services)

Hello all,
i´m preparing a system copy with ERP 6.0 in windows and SQL server with ADS.
I have a doubt, can i do the System Copy backup/restore method with ADS??
or the only method that works is with system export/import in all instances??
Thank you

Hi Oscar,
Is your ADS system separate from your ERP system, or are they on the same server?
In any case, you can use backup/restore to copy a Java system, but you must also make a system export/import for the Java server components. The two work in conjunction, so that the export tool doesn't export your whole database, only the components maintained in the filesystem. If you select the database detach/attach or backup/restore method in the tool when going against the Java system, it will prompt you at the right point in the process to make your Java export as well.
The caveat is that the Java export requires downtime, so it isn't possible to copy a Java system without impacting system availability, as it is with a pure ABAP system.
Best regards,
Matt

Hi all,
I am having an issue while performing the system copy for the sql server.
Actions taken so far.
1.Detached the database.
2.Installed central instance in the target system .
3.Attached the database using attach as option.
4.Then used STM coll for the conversion.

Before detaching the database made export for java addin abap in source system
Then I am trying to import the java add in abap using sapinst(system copy option)..In the half of the way i am getting the below message as ..

Hi,
what do you get executing this statement:
use <SID>
go
select * from sys.objects where schema_id =
(select schema_id from sys.schemas where name = 'dbo')
