System copy with Export/Import Distribyted system UNIX database, Windows CI

HI
we have a distributed system witch I want to make a copy of
Oracle Database on HP-UX
CI + SCS on Windows
Dual stack system ABAP/Java
1) I have made an system copy with data base copy tools, and that works fine.
2) I have made a system copy export/import of a "central system"
If I try to make an export/import system copy on a distributed system it wont work.
( this work fine in a central system) I dont get anny error messages all gren checks marks !
It seems like the problem are in not finding the profiles from CI ?
It find the profiles for the sapgateway.
I someone are more interested I have more documentation with screen shots in a word document.
I Have used Installation Master SR3 and tryed with some older versions as well.
I have read SAP Note 970518 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2
SAPINST
Using virtual hosts for central and/or DB instances
SYMPTOM:
You are using virtual host names for your central instance and/or the database instance (e.g. in a HA environment). Although SAPinst finishes successfully, some export steps are not being performed.
SOLUTION:
Start the export with the property SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.
If the central instance and the database instance run on different hosts, run the database export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host name of the DB server> and - if you run a Java or ABAP+Java system - run the central instance export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host nameof the central instance host>.
If you run a central system with different host names in the profiles, handle the export as a distributed export, calling SAPinst with parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME. Perform the export of the database instance on the DB server, calling SAPinst with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host of the DB server>.

Hi I have received folloving answer from SAP:
You're doing everything correct - besides one thing.
When you specify the profiles during the database export it cannot be
correct to specify the profiles of the gateway instance located on
the same host.
As a consequence - it picks up the wrong instance G01 and sets the
property 'hasABAP' and 'hasJava' to 'false'... - thus the export
is empty. You can see this within the corresponding 'sapinst.log' file.
The correct procedure would be to specify the profiles of the central
instance on the Windows Machine. If you cannot access them, you should
make them available by Samba or by any type of software which makes
it's possible to export filesystems or directories from windows to
unix.
Best regards
Bent

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.

SAP is not coming up after system refresh with Export/Import option

Hi,
I have exported Java 6.40 and finished the refresh successfully. And I imported the Java successfully. After importing Java, I restarted SAP but is not coming up. When I checked the dev_w0 trace file, I got the following information.

A system copy tool is not yet available. There is some work going on about this and may appear later.
What you can do is backing up and do it that way. See the "Technical Operatrions Manual"

System Copy Guide: Exporting the Source System Using SAPinst.

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to do Unicode conversion of ERP 2005 SR3 on Oracle/WS2003
The preparation steps are OK
When I execute the last Phase using Sapinst : "database instance export",
it finishes within one minute with the message "Database instance export has been completed succesfully"
but without exporting data.
I have follow up Unicode Conversion Guide and System Copy Guide System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 ABAP+Java.
What could be wrong here?
Thansk for your help
Martial

So you need to set an environment variable
SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME = <your-virtual-hostname>
for the user executing sapinst.

Delta Loads failling after system copy with error in source system(RSM340)

Hi Guru's
We recently performed system copy in BI side.I am facing same issue in couple of chains.Process chains are failing at delta loads with error in source system(ERROR IN SOURCE SYSTEM-message no-RSM340 ).When I go for repeat option ,delta loads are running fine.I did some research regarding RSM340 and I found note:1576331.
But my system is not showing any 'Time Inconsistencies'.So.I was not able to find any clue about it.
Could anybody help me out in this aspect.
Thanks!!!

SYSTEM Copy with Data ( SAP Export/Import way)

Hello ,
There is requirement at my client site to build SAP system copy from Production System without copying Data but
should have Programs/ Structures / Repository/ Tables & views etc.
Though We have thought of building SAP system with Export/ Import way and then deleting the Client from copied system
after that running Remote client copy from Source to Target system with SAP_CUST profile
But I have heard with SAP Export/Import way , We can have SAP data copy skipped and only structure to copy. If there is any way
of such kind then Please help me in letting know the same
Thanks

Hi Deepak
Kindly refer the SCN link difference between the Client copy Export / import & Remote copy method

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
while connecting to DB.
at
com.sap.engine.core.configuration.bootstrap.ConfigurationManagerBootstrapImpl.(ConfigurationManagerBootstrapImpl.java:49)
... 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.

SAP BI System Copy with only Config changes, Not Data

Hi BASIS,
I have a requirement from a client to build a system landscape stratagy for their SAP BI system.
We have DEV - QA - PRD systems for SAP BI (7.0 SP 16)
Both DEV and QA are completely out of sync with PRD. We are doing development tasks directly on PRD. Now we have decided to re-sync the DEV & QA systems with PRD.
'System copy with Data' will be easier to implement. But our PRD DB size is nearly 3TB. The client is not ready to pay for the extra/temp. disk space for DEV and QA sync. ( We are on DB2).
Now, we have only one option left. Capture all Config changes from PRD and transport them back to DEV & QA. This is a tedious task and cause many inconsistencies.
Would anyone have any other ideas to bring the systems in sync with less time involved and less resources.
I am a SAP BI person. So dont know much about BASIS tasks. Please help me with any links of best practises or SAP notes.
Cheers

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?

System copy optimzation of import on DB2 LUW

I am looking for system copy optimzation of import on DB2 LUW. R3load version is 640.
IBM redbook (sg247774 DB2 Optimization Techniques for SAP Database Migration and Unicode Conversion) gives some general recommendations:
1) Use the DB2 LOAD API with default settings for R3load.
2) Create primary and secondary indexes before you load data.
3) Specify enough utility heap to ensure parallelism of the DB2 LOAD API. use 200,000 as a starter.
4) Others..........
I've got some questions:
1) "-loadproceduce fast LOAD" suitable for all packages? How can we know whether R3load call DB2 load API even we specify this parameter?
I've tried both below:
select tabschema, tabname from SYSIBMADM.ADMINTABINFO where load_status = 'PENDING'
list utilities show detail
But nothing shown.
2) Change the 1st & 2nd line of DDL<DB>.TPL from after to before?
3) We need change the DB paramenter, but sapinst will run automatically to trigger R3load. How can we stop sapinst temporary and change those setting before R3load?
Thanks,
James

Dear Hans-Juergen,
Your explain is more clear than SAP note and IBM redbook. If you are not the author of the note and redbook, what I want to say is those authors should be fired :-).
For both V9.1 and V9.5(and above), load in conjunction with compress can be implemented, the prerequisite is creat/alter to table to compress mode. That is easy to understand.
For V9.1, LOAD option will not force DB2 to create compress dictionary, so we must use LOADCOMPRESS, DB6LOAD_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD defines the sample number of rows to create the dictionary.
For V9.5(and above), ADC is introducted. The default LOAD (can be used in 640 & 700) will trigger compress dictionary creation automatically.
In R3load 640, LOADCOMPRESS is suitable for V9.1 and LOAD (if table is created in compress mode in advance) is suitable for V9.5(and above).
In R3load 700 (and above), note 1058437 gives a detail explain. Actaully, this note is out of date as it says "LOAD As before", my understanding is that it is for DB2 LUW V9.1. For V9.5, it functions as LOAD+ADC if table compression is enabled. R3load 700 gives some more options such as "Uncompress load + subsequent compmression", "Load + ADC", "Compress load based on sampling" for compression.
So question 9:
It is clear there is nothing to do with R3load version, it is just DB version related. Can R3laod 640 use above options designed for 700? Or note 1058437 apply for 640? Why SAP+IBM design R3load 640 and 700 into 2 different ways?
R3load 640 can work with V9.5 directly and it is also supported in service.sap.com/PAM list.
Question 10: In readbook, it says "ADC creates a compression dictionary automatically when the following conditions apply"
COMPRESS flag is enabled for the table.
No compression dictionary exists for the table.
The table contains a sufficient amount of data.
Then I want to create all packages/tables with compress mode, db2 will compress table for big tables (a sufficient amount of data) and will not create compress dictionary for small tables. Suppose there are 40,000 tables, 2M/table for dictionary, that is 80G in total, not a burden for big system at all. Is this a crazy idea? What is the best practice, just for big tables?
Thanks,
James

The system copy with Sapinst has changed the schema in oracle

Hi;
have done a copy Homogeneous of a system and after having all correct I have seen that has changed the name of the Schemas and the name of the tablespace.
the system is a PI NW2004S.
When the oraginal schema is SAPSR3DB, in the target system is SAPSR4DB, and all tables are here.
The tablespace SAPSR3DB in the target system is empty and the copy has created one tablespace SAPSR4DB
They are normal these changes?

Client copy error - Export/Import

Hello Folks,
With a certain business requirement we have small scale implementation planned every quarter and as per the requirement we are performing a client copy into one of our SANDBOX(SDX) client (201) every quarter from our Production ECC system (cleint-600).
*The SANDBOX is used for POC and new enhancement testing and also for training purposes.
Cleint copy (export/import method)
============================
PRD (600) ==> SDX (201)
Both Sanbox and production are with same SAP version, patch, OS and database versions.
The client copy(client export-import method) is successfull when the client is new (SDX-201), but when we did the client next time on the same client, the client copy finished with many inconsistencies.
We have also tried deleting the client 201 and then recreating client 201 in SDX and copy from our PRD-600. But the result is same, the client copy finished with many inconsistencies.
Now we are not able to figure out the problem why this problem is occuring. The whole point of client copy from PRD is not helping project. As a workaround at the moment we are copying onto a new client every quarter.
We have to get a solution. Please suggest.
PS: We can not do the system refresh, because there are other clients on the Sandbox systems and we do not want them to be disturbed.
Lookign forward for your suggestions.
Thanks
James
