System Copy using sapinst - Step Migration Export  SAP:MIGSDM:700:*:*:*

Hi we are trying to do a system copy of a ABAP/ Java Addin  - 70 SR3 from one system to another.
We took the sapinst option for Central BASED on ABAP and JAVA
We took the save restore option.
We are curretly stuck at the step Migration Export.  Looking for the LABEL.ASC  for
SAP:MIGSDM:700:::*
We took the java option to create the SDM export on the source system.  My export location has the following :
LABELIDX.ASC
        JDMP
        SDM
        APPS
LABEL.ASC
SAP:JMIG:700:::*
Any ideas / suggestions?
Regards,
Brian

> I just started sapinst and selected "export central system based on ABAP + Java".
> There is an entry in the main export folder
> LABELIDX.ASC
> -ABAP
> -JAVA
>
> ABAP folder is empty
This is possible since you may have chosen the "database specific" copy. So the copy process will only pack the Java part which you will use later for the target system.
> JAVA folder has 3 files 
> LABEL.ASC_
>  - SAP:JMIG:700:::*
> LABELIDX.ASC
>  -JDMP
>  -SDM
>  -APPS
Looks good!
If the export is finished you can start sapinst again on the target system, select again ABAP + Java and "database specific copy", the system will then start with the installation and stop at some point to restore the database. After that is done continue with sapinst.

  • System Copy using SAPINST

    When we do system copy from one system on an existing system using SAPINST (Database independent method), Is it first necessary to delete the existing system, please advice.

    I have read the guides available on it, but I was not able to get a clear understanding.
    In system copy guide it says
    If the target system already exists and you do not plan to perform an MCOD installation, delete the database on the target system before the import according to the corresponding description in the Additional Information section of the installation documentation for your SAP component.
    If the database configuration of your database is stored in the file system, we recommend that you back these configuration files up before deleting the database.
    I am little confused by it, does it mean delete complete system or database only

  • 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

  • Homogeneous system copy using export/import on WIn/Ora

    Dear experts,
    i need to know the homogeneous system copy procedure using export/import method for following scenario as we are in the process of Data center migration of SAP systemsfrom location to another location.
    Source system:
    ECC6/BI7/APO(ABAP stack)
    OS:WIndows 2003
    D:B:Oracle 10g
    Target System: New hardware installed on Virtual environment(VMware)
    No change of SID
    ECC6/BI//APO
    OS:WINDOWS2008
    D:B: Oracle 11g
    It would be great if anyone can share the documentu2019s/links (Not SAP homogeneous system copy guide) which you have prepared for the homog. system copy using export/import on Windows/oracle  as i have done the system copy using backup/restore for ABAP stack and export/import for Java stack so far.
    Therefore i am not sure about this procedure/prerequisites/checklist needs to prepare as i have gone through the SAP guide but it is not step by step document.
    Cheers

    There are two approacahes for your  project
    1) First wether to use Oracle11g on target database
    2) Continue with Database Oracle 10.2 on traget database
    If you want to use Oracle11.2 on your target database you have to search the installers which are supported for 11.2 database. If the installers are available then only you can install your target database using Oracle11.2.Other wise t use Oracle10.2.0.4 is supported on Win2008r2. You can use this version of Oracle database to build ur target database.It works fine . Absolutely no problem.
    Later on you can upgrade the Oracle10.2 to 11.2 Onwards.
    If installers are avialble you can use Oracle11.2 also. There is absolutely no problem.
    As per my knowledge installers are available and supported with Oracle11.2.Also check the PAM before arriving on any deciscion.

  • 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?

  • 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.  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?
    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.

  • System copy using R3load ( Export / Import )

    Hi,
    We are testing System copy using R3load ( Export / Import ) using our production data.
    Environment : 46C / Oracle.
    while executing export, it takes more than 20 hours, for the data to get exported, we want to reduce the export time drastically. hence, we want to achieve it by scrutinizing the input parameters.
    during export, there is a parameter by name splitting the *.STR and *.EXT files for R3load.
    the default input for the above parameter is No, do not split STR and EXT files.
    My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
    My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
    Best Regards
    L Raghunahth

    Hi
    The time of the export depends on the size of your database (and the size of your biggest tables) and your hardware capacity.
    My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
    In case you have a few very large tables, and you have multiple cpu's and a decent disk storage, then splitting might significantly reduce the export time.
    My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
    As you did not tell us about your database size and hardware details there is no way to give you anything but very basic metrics. Did you specify a parallel degree at all, was your hardware idling for 20 hrs or fully loaded already?
    20 hrs for a 100gb database is very slow. It is reasonable (rather fast in my opinion)  for a 2tb database.
    Best regards, Michael

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Potentially not... These are OS patches and you are restoring the database.
    Having said that is is highly recommendable that your environment is consistent. Also check in PAM that the version of OS is supported.

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

    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

  • System copy via SAPINST (Export/Import)

    Hello!
    We are using SAP ERP EHP4 system on Windows with SAP MaxDB (Version: 7.7.07.09).
    We would like to copy this productive system to QAS system.
    Therefore we successfully run SAPINST (with running db and sap, because we cannot stop productive system) with option Export and have currently an valid export of productive system.
    After we read several sap notes (such as 1014782, 129352) we found that the system copy procedure Backup/Restore will be recomended.
    Questions
    1) Can we still copy productive system via export and import option with SAPINT?
    1a) Should/must the SAP Max DB instance be installed before runing SAPINT on the target server?
    1b)  Which SAP MaxDB version should be installed on the target server?
    Has some one experience with system copy of SAP systems with SPA MaxDB via Export/Import?
    It will be great to get some answers or recommendation.
