System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049  XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB
indind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPSYSTEM_ind_ind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPComponent_ind_ind_ind_

rmation or press OK to terminate the installation.
Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
  SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
  a) If using a csh, enter:
       set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
  b) If using a sh, enter:
       path=/usr/sbin:$path
       export path

  • Homogeneous System Copy of ABAP+JAVA Sy - sapinst does not restart after re

    Hi everybody!
    Someone can help me?
    I am doing system copy CRM 2007 (NW 7) from DEV to Sandbox system. after database recovery sap is unable to make connection to database (DB is up and running). R3trans -d finished with 0012.
    My question is how to change database schema after system copy. this might be the reason sap is not coming up.
    Please advise.

    Hi Andy,
    Did you change the tnsnames.ora file to point to your new sid?
    What does the trans.log output say?
    (Just a curious question, but did you apply your sap license for the copied system)

  • How to perform system copy using standard sap method (sapinst)

    Hi guys
    pls tel how to perform system copy using standard sap method (sapinst) and to perform enterprise portal RESTORSTION.
    thanks
    kamal

    Hi Kamal,
    I have done a system copy of the production portal to a sandpit system before. The system copy export import method works very well, and is easy. For my portal, the whole procedure took me less than 6 hours.
    1. Go to this page: System Copy and Migration
    2. See the videos "Demo: How to Perform a System Copy Export" and "Demo: How to Perform a System Copy Import".
    This should give you the basic idea.
    I did a systemcopy using sapinst. If I remember right, this is the steps I performed:
    1. On target host, Installed a new Central services.
    2. On source host: Ran sapinst system copy export for Central Instance and Database instance. This created two export files (depending on your database size).
    3. Used the export files created in previous step to run the import step in target host.
    4. Some post processing steps, like configuring sso, creating systems in system landscapes, configuring WD JCos etc.
    Let me know if you need more help.
    Cheers

  • 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.

    How can I configure my oracle to enable OEM to automatically start after booting the OS?

  • MacBook does not restart after software upgrade without power adaptor

    Hi everbody,
    I've done a big mistake while updating my macbook without power adaptor plugged...
    After having started the installation, I had many other things to do and completely forgot the installation. So I guess the macbook stopped when the battery had no more power.
    The problem is that the macbook does not start any longer, with or without the power adaptor. I've tried the different ways to start the macbook described in the faq, but without success. When I plug the power adaptor, there's no signal and the battery remains very low.
    So, if someone has a way to restart my macbook, I'd be greatly happy !
    Thanks

    I've solved my problem by disassembling and reassembling the power supply.

    Hello All,
    Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I was trying everything, but I do not think I've done something good intentionally.
    After each of the below steps I tried to run sapinst again.
    1. Restart user session (sudo)
    2. Reboot server
    3. Rename /tmp/sapinst_instdir/.lastInstallationLocation
    4. Rename <user_home>/.sdtgui/
    5. Rename sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx
    After 4 and 5 it did not start at all.
    It now has opened correctly showing me the initial screen with all the options of sapinsts. If I encounter the problem again, I will try each step again more systematically.
    Kind Regards,

  • Task Sequence (LiteTouch.wsf) does not restart after first logon on Windows 8.1 deployment

    Hi guys!
    I can't figure out what cause the issue.
    First, this is my setup :
    ADK installed
    MDT 2012 (upgraded from 2010 update 1)
    Boot wim regenerated from scratch
    LTIApply.wsf edited http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2797676/en-us
    Windows 8.1 configured and captured (my first Win 8/8.1 deployment)
    New task sequence for that wim.
    My issue is :
    The task sequence windows won't show up only with windows 8.1 deployment after the first logon. (I tried with a Windows 7 with the same setup, works flawlessly)
    I can see the desktop, but nothing show up. I have all the folders and files on the c: (MININT, _SMSTaskSequence LTIBootstrap). I clicked twice on LTIBootstrap, did nothing. I did an LiteTouch.wsf /start, nothing.
    I recaptured my Windows 8.1 (it was on a virtual machine) and I did a new TS. The issue still there.
    All the SMSOSD logs files are on http://sdrv.ms/18VPSKy
    Someone can help me on this? I'll be very happy!
    thanks!

    Was this ever resolved or does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
    I am having a similar issue. I deploy a custom Windows 8.1 image to a system and I get through the OS install, but I end up at the user login screen without the task sequence resuming (thus not running any windows update, doesn't join domain, or any post-install
    tasks). The built in administrator account also shows up as disabled.
    The only changes I have made to the unattend.xml for that image are *maybe* to fix the IE 10/11 error that crashes the deployment by deleting the IE welcome tag, and I have no choice but to make that change when it happens.

  • MAC Mini does not restart after Yosemite update

    I bought my MAC mini in 2011 and I successfully updated to Mavericks with no problems.  I am not sure why my MAC Mini will not restart after I updated to Yosemite. The completion bar gets stuck around 30%.
    Any help or ideas appreciated 
    Larry

    Okay, this is strange.  I tried restarting three times yesterday with the same results. In fact I left it go overnight only to find the next morning that the bar was still stuck at 30%.  I did a hard boot a little bit ago and waited a few seconds. I restarted an it booted up fine.

  • System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

    Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
    Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
    Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
    Actions on source system:
    a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
    b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
    c) Switched logfiles
    d) Performed offline backup
    Actions on target system:
    a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
    b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
    c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
    Relevant input parameters used:
    Database schema: SAPR3
    Database character set: US7ASCII
    d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
    - copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
    - copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
    - copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
    e) Resumed SAPINST.
    David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
    ORA-12012
    ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
    ORA-06553"
    Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
    shutdown immediate
    startup upgrade
    spool utlirp.log
    @?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
    spool off
    Shutdown immediate
    Startup
    Spool utlrp.log
    @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
    Spool off
    exit
    which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
    Help, anyone?

    > Trying to cheer me up, are you?
    No
    > It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
    True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
    > And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
    No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
    > One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
    The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.
