System Copy R3SETUP or DB tools

Hello all,
I am in the process of testing a homogenous copy that will be used to copy our 4.6c SR2 (4.6d kernel) and SQL 2000 to new hardware. I have downloaded the latest versions of R3Setup and R3load. According to the inst guide the "preferred" way is to use SAP and R3Setup to export the DB and import into new server for the windows platform. I would like to put the servers (1 app server and 1 db server) onto the network and install the central instance on the app server and load the DB onto the db server so we can point a few clients to the new servers for testing.
My questions are:
1) Is it easier or better to use the SQL backup and restore method instead of using the R3setup and the export/import process?
2) What kinds of things are NOT going to be copied into the new system? I read that certain ABAP Dictionary code and possibly other items will not copy. Is this true due to using a SQL only method or both SAP or SQL methods?
3) Any other thoughts, gotchas, etc I should be aware of in this scenario?
P.S. The new servers will be setup with NEW names on the network and will not have the same name as the existing servers. We will simply update the clients instead to make this process faster.
Thank you all so much!

Hi,
Backup / restore method is faster but as u building a new test server better to go with r3load..First export the Data from the source system by running r3setup and install the new system with the help of this export file instead of selecting standered installation at the time of Database instance installation..SID will not be main constraint.u can use new name for the system

Basis work for SAP system copy using DB2 cloning tool

My company is using the DB2 cloning tool, formerly from MainStar. Our DBAs have used this tool to create a clone of a technical sandbox (ST1) to another DB2 instance (SZ1).
I am reading through the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java guide and trying to follow the steps.
As information, our application servers are currently running on zLinux and I am trying to do a system copy of an HA ABAP+Java SID.
Since we have used the cloning tool, which I would equate to a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools, the guide looks like it says I can skip the Export Preparation and Table Splitting Preparation steps. The only other step for the source system is the Database and Central Instance Export.
When I execute this step, it creates a dump of the database. This seems useless as we already have a cloned copy of the database.
Does anyone have the list of Basis tasks for a system copy when the DB2 cloning tool is used?
Brian

Nevermind. If someone sets:
rdisp/j2ee_start = 0
in an ABAP+Java system, sapinst behaves strangely during the system export and does not give the option to only dump the filesystem. Bug?

Db2 homogenous system copy using DB specific tools.

Hi,
I'm currently doing a homogenous system copy using db specific tools option (DB2). I did an offline backup of the source system using db2 backup database command, then ran SAPinst (NW70SR2) on the source system to go through the export phase, no problem. On the destination system, I ran SAPinst (NW70SR3) to do the import phase and reached a point where SAPinst asked me to restore the database using db2 tools. I running command:
RESTORE DATABASE <SID> FROM "E:\backup_folder" TAKEN AT 20090617164332 TO "Q:" INTO <SID> NEWLOGPATH "F:\" WITH 2 BUFFERS BUFFER 1024 PARALLELISM 1 WITHOUT PROMPTING;
After running this command I get SQL0902C A system error (reason code = "") occurred. Subsequent
SQL statements cannot be processed.
sqlcode: -902
sqlstate: 58005
Some background information: I'm running this procedure to do a migrate the database from a 32 bit to 64 bit.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to run any other commands or prep on the detination system before running the restore command?

One other thing you might have wanted to check was the physical memory on the target machine. Does the target have the same amount of memory as the source? If it is much smaller, sometimes there can be issues with starting up the database on the smaller machine. There is an instance level registry setting you can use to reduce the amount of bufferpool memory the database wants to use.
Another issue I have seen is that you may want to restore a 32-bit backup to a 32-bit instance. You can then upgrade then instance and database to 64-bit.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize this thread was 2 months old.

Homogeneous system copy using database specific tools

My enviroment is ECC6/Oracle 10.2.0.2/Solaris 10
I'm attempting my first system copy (central instance ABAP) using database specific tools from my PRD to my QAS system
in the source system I ran sapinst and proceed as follows
Execution of Service SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 > Software Life-cycle options > system copy > oracle > source system export >
central system > based on AS ABAP ? Database Instance Export
The export creates two folders and an file ie ABAP, JAVA & LABELIDX.
The folder ABAP is empty while JAVA has three files.see details below. I have a feeling something is not right ?
Kindly advice before I proceed with database offline backup and importation in the target system

According to the system copy documents I've gone through I expect to see the following
in the export directory
=> structure with label files and source system information
=> database structure files (*.STR) for ABAP database objects
=> database statistics
=> Size calculation for the target database (*.EXT, DBSIZE.XML)
=> Archiving of the SDM
=> Archiving of application specific file system content
I get a dialog box message that the export has completed successfullu but only two phases were done ie
=> NW_export
=> Prepare To export Java

Thanks Mark
I'll proceed with the import & inform you about the outcome
My QAS system is the transport domain controller i.e. it hosts the transport directory /usr/sap/trans
What happens to pending transports after system copy ? Is there a way I can retain them or do I have to advice my users to complete pending requests so that I can import all of them before proceeding .
what happens to the CUA configurations in my 3 tier system landscape after I overwrite QAS ? I will make a note of all the RFC's & thier configuration details just incase I need to recreate them

ABAP+JAVA system copy using 3rd party export/import tools

Hi all,
I am trying to do a homogenous system copy. I am following the syscopy guide for SAP NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP+JAVA systems
We are running AIX 5.L and Oracle.
My question is this. We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images. Does anyone know if it is possible to restore or "import" the data in a system copy using an outside tool like this? If so, do you have any information on how to?
I know it is possible to restore the database from an offline backup using BRTools rather than r3load and jload, and I just wanted to see if I can restore from a snap as it would save a lot of time in the procedure.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

>My question is this. We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images.

That approach is not supported.
The reason is: combined instances write the instance name and hostname in various places, on the filesystem in .properties files, in the JDBC configuration, depending on the java applications you run on top in various other places. What you're trying to do is effectively "renaming" an instance.
Technically it's possible to do it and to get it run, yes, but the supported way is running sapinst and choose ABAP + Java system copy. This will prevent you from lots of (not really documented) manual work after the copy.

ABAP system copy on 6.40 system

Hi,
I am trying to complete a system copy using the SAP Tools for MS SQL. I ran the install from the Master CD, restored the backup and then started the sapinst from Tools for MSSQL. On step 5 creating the stored procedures, it dies on 143 (sap_mon_spid). I found note 763807, but this is for SQL 2000 SP3. We are on MSSQL 2000 SP4.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have opened an OSS message under BC-INS-MIG as well.

System copy tools for SAP Basis 46C.

Hi All,
I need to do system copy for SAP Basis 46c. I have a query regarding the tools used for system copy. It is written in the SAP Documents and we need to use the latest version of the system copy tools (i.e. R3load,R3check,R3ldctl,,R3szchk,R3trans).
I need to do the Heterogeneouse system copy
Source :- Oracle 9.2.0.8 , AIX 5.3
Target :- Oralce 9.2.0.8 (Or 10.2.0.4 if possible) , Sun Solaris
So my question is
1) Am i suppose to use only the tools (i.e. R3load,R3check,R3ldctl,,R3szchk,R3trans) which are compatible to relase 4.6C (Kernel 46D_EXT, latest path level is 2541) or
2) Can i download and use the Latest version of system copy tools (i.e. Withe release 7.00 for R3load,R3check,R3ldctl,,R3szchk,R3trans) to do the herogeneous system copy of SAP Basis 4.6C ??
Please reply.
Thanks

> Yes we are aware about the certified consultant. But before going for such a big project we wanted to find out the possibilities how we can minimise system downtime and optimize the process therefore wanted to have some information earlier.
Exactly that is the use of that consultant Those are experienced people who have done lots of migrations in the past, they know the possibilities of the tools and versions.
> So now i am very sure that we can use 10.2 while installation of new target system while doing heterogenouse system copy from oracle 9.2.
Correct.
> 1) Migration Monitor (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
> The Migration Monitor is downward-compatible. As new features and bug fixes are only implemented in the latest version, SAP urgently recommends that you always use the latest version available.
You can use it of course but support of it is not "built in" - there's no clicker to check as is in newer versions of sapinst. You will need to modify the R3S file at the "correct place" to make use of it.
> 2) Distribution Monitor (Source :- Distribution Monitor (version 1.9.1) Usersu2019 Guide)
> Restrictions:-The following restrictions apply to the current implementation:The DM does not support system copies of releases lower than SAP_BASIS 6.20
So you can't use that option.
> 3) PACKAGE SPLITTING (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
> The package splitting option is available and integrated into the system copy tools R3SETUP and SAPinst since SAP R/3 4.0B SR1.
The "old version" is a perl script, you'll need to make sure you have perl installed.
>
> 4) TABLE SPLITTING (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
> AVAILABILITY:
> Table splitting can be used for ABAP systems with SAP kernel 6.40 or above
So that is also not usable.
> 6) R3LOAD OPTIONS - (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
> R3load option '-fast' (<= 4.6D) or '-loadprocedure fast': These options are available
> u2022 from SAP kernel release 6.40 for - DB2/UDB - MSSQL - Oracle (see SAP Note 1045847 - Oracle Direct Path Load Support in R3load)
So it's also not built in for Kernel 46D_EX2.
> Request your final comments on the above points and Need to know whether parallel import and export can be done for 4.6C (46D_EXT Kernel) release using migration monitor. Please reply.
As I said before and as is written in the documentation, it can be used but not "by default", you'll make sure you stop at the right place with your migration to configure it manually (or the consultant will do).

CAn you precise also what Migration tool are you using?
Migration from 5.1 to SAP BPC 7.0 NW?
In that case when you are speaking about the installation about what part are you speaking?
I think actually you are speaking about the migration tool from 4.2 to 7.0 Microsoft version .
In that case you can install the mIgration tool just with SAP BPC sys admin users and you have to input the password for that user. Sys admin user for BPC is usually the user used for installation of SAP BPC server.
Any way I suggest to follow the Migration tool training document and there you will find all the information necessary.

Java System Copy tool

Hi,
We have an ECC6 on NW 7 landscape and require a tool to copy system data across 2 SAP systems. I have come across this Java System Copy Tool. I have downloaded the packages:-
Time analyzer
Package Splitter
Migration monitor
OraBRcopy
read the various documents that came with it and i just wanted to know that does this need to be run with SAPinst or can these need to be run individually? seems a bit confusing as there is no a straight forward document to read. I have read the Oracle Parameters that need to be set so that is one thing to discuss with my team.
We have a very big database and i wanted to ask if someone out there has used this that how long did it take migrating your database and under what conditions i.e. was database shutdown, done when system least used, etc?
It seems that Migration Monitor does the job of exporting and importing the packages but i am not sure how Package splitter or time analyzer fits into this?
OraBRcopy is the same as using R3COPY so that is no problem for me but just these inidividual tools i need help understanding.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mani

> We use the database copy procedure and apply redo logs after to a level the apps poeple want it, but recovery takes a long time and it requires lengthy file checks as some are missing so we were investigating alternative methods available one of which was this SAP tool.
You never do full backups?
> My understanding of what you are saying and please correct me if i am wrong.. is that sapinst can copy either java content (assume you mean the java database schema??) or ABAP schema or both. export the java contents and continue using the normal database copy/redo logs method?
Yes. You would
- take a backup of the source database
- execute "sapinst", select system copy and select, that you're doing a "backup/restore" procedure
- sapinst will put all the Java parts together and create a dump of it
- you start sapinst on the target system, select system copy and that you're doing a "backup/restore" procedure
- sapinst will install SCS/CI and stop then asking you to recover the database
- sapinst will continue and setup the Java part
What you encounter is one of the major drawbacks when using DualStack instances. I would, if it's possible, separate the two instances so you can copy them independently of each other.

Homgeneous System Copy with Java and DB2 with database tools.

Hello,
we have an single java stack (netweaver 2004s) and tried a system copy with database tools.
Source System: DP2, dp2adm, db2dp2, sapdp2db
Target System: SP2, sp2adm, db2sp2, ???
We followed the documentation "System copy for SAP systems based on sap netweaver 2004s SR1 JAVA. We exported the SDM on the source system made a redirected restore with db tools and tried to install a new target system.
During the import in the target system using sapinst we get in the
phase run java migration tool kit the following error message.
Caused by:
com.sap.engine.frame.core.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error

... 14 more
Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.a.SqlException: Connection authorization
failure occurred. Reason: userid revoked.
What I didn't understand is, that in the documenation it is mentioned, that you have to use the same java database connect user. But during the installation of the target system (SP2) I cannot change the java database connect user to sapdp2db. I'm only allow to enter sapsp2db. That might then cause the connection problem.

PI 7.11 sp6 system copy causes target sys to register with source

Experts,
We have a PI 7.1 (EHP1, sp6) PI system based on AIX 6.1 OS and Oracle 11g.
I recently did the standard PI system copy from a prod source (PIP) to a training target (PIT).
I used the most recenty PI system copy guide that is specific for PI 7.1 EHP1
I did not run into any major problems doing the steps of the itself.
I did the usual "post" steps, documented in the guide that really are done on any NW system.
Then I got into the specific "PI" post steps and that's where I now have a problem.
I could not run the "wizard for post copy" since I'm on 7.11sp6. Yes, I know they "downported" it but I don't have those latest LMtools type packages. Anyway, I'm OK with that.
I followed all the steps, fixing my RFCs, JCos, Destinations, cleaning up SLD, SLDAPICUST, creating new business systems...etc.
My big problem is with the exchange profile. Yes, it's easy to change all the SIDs and hostnames using the search tool for all the parameters in the exchange profile, but the one I COULD NOT CHANGE was the "ABAP Connection". In there right after the copy was the hostname of the prod system, the client, and the user PILDUSER. I attempted to put the hostname of my target (PIT) system, but I would get the error:
RFC 399 unable to connect
I'm certain the user is NOT locked and the password is correct for PILDUSER.
Worse yet, If I left the hostname in there that was set to "prod", then when I changed all the other values in the "parameters" section of the XI profile, then it actually changed my PROD system!!
If I keep the ABAP connection to PIT, then the entire exchange profile disappears for PIT.
Also, now my PROD system shows the PIT system as a "non-central adapter engine".
Ughh! I'm totally stuck. I'm not sure what to do.
It's as if the PIT (PI training) system somehow is linked to PIP (PI prod). It's like PIT doesn't think he is his own box...
Any ideas? I'm resisting opening a message because this will be so hard to explain to sap support.
--NICK

Hi Nick,
We went thru the same issue. Fortunately, it was between Dev to sandbox. I stopped the dev system and changed the exchange profile parameters to sandbox hostname and brought the Dev up to fix the issue.
Prod showing as Non-Central Adapter engine :- Check your Business System in SLD and In CIM Instances in SLD, check your XI Integration server assigned to right Business System.
Note 764176 - Error in XI due to inconsistent SLD contents :- helped me come over PI post step issues.
Thanks,
Arjun

PI 7.11 sp6 system copy Exchange Profile error code: 399

+There is problem reading the hostname from the ClusterManager. This could lead to improper wsdl links.#
SLDCHECK shows this:
Function call returned exception code 3
Access to the XI Profile is currently disrupted.
I can't be the first person to run into this.
SO strange that I can actually plug in either my dev/QA or PROD hostname in the "ABAP connection" box and it WILL ACCEPT IT...but then, it registered my training system as a "non central adapter engine". I don't want that.
Any ideas?
Another issue is that the SLD PI information from the PIT system is missing the "Integration Directory". It has the other 5 entries...Adapter Engine, Domain, Integration Repository, Integration Server, RWB.
Thanks for reading this,
NICK

I checked the DBSIZE.TPL file as well it is there with full permissions in the following path

Please reply me back
Thank you

What immediately comes to my eyes is the hostname "SAP" - accordign to the installation documentation neither and instance nor a hostname must be named "SAP"....

New Development system copy from Production

Hi All,
Hope you can help me out here with some ideas.
We are currently planning to implement a new SAP BW Development system, and for this we would like to make it a 1:1 copy of our current production system. Meaning all from customizing, ABAP, workbench objects etc.
But what we do not want is all the transaction and master data in infoobject, cubes etc., we are only interested in the structure and objects. Therefore we can rule out "System copy".
My question is then, is there any other ways to do this when system copy is a no go? I know we can do client copy but then we will not get all the workbench / ABAP programs which we need.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thx. in Advance

Hi Rasmus,
But what we do not want is all the transaction and master data in infoobject, cubes etc., we are only interested in the structure and objects. Therefore we can rule out "System copy".
Options 1: As BI objects are cross client , copying client will not solve your purpose 100%.
You can perform system copy and then clean up data in DEV
Option 2: You can create a new Development and then create TRs for required configuration objects and move to new development system.
Option 3: Use SLO tools to perform container copy without any data.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori
