System refresh in MSSQL

Hi Folks,
We are planning to do a refresh from "AA" system to "BB" system.But "AA" system consist of only two drive like C drive consits fo USR data and D drive consists of AAdata1,AAdata2,AAdata3,AAlog.
Now "BB" System consists of 4 drives which is E,F,G,H.
Now I have to map C drive USR data to E drive and D drive AAdata1..n to F drive, D drive AAlog1 data to G drive in "BB"system.
I know how to detach and attach the database in MSSQL but I dont know how to map the USR data to E drive.
Can anyone please guide me.
Thanks
regards,
Ral

Hi Ral,
A system refresh usually means refreshing the contents of the DB only.... basically you should have a "BB" system running... during the system refresh the contents of the /usr/sap forlder are not replaced.
If you want to do is a System copy then follow the steps on the Homogeneous system copy guide (available on SAP Marketplace) and it will let you choose the location.

Post System Refresh Activity

Hi All,
I did system refresh ( from PRD to QAS , platform Windows 2008 R2 and MSsql) the system was up and running fine. The system was absolutely fine for one day and the day after the DB crashed , not sure what happened, is there a way i can find the logs through which i can come to know what exactly happened. Also post refresh when i was trying to run BDLS , the job was getting cancelled , the job log showed there is another conversion already running , when i checked the tables the conversion had already happened . Please tell me can running BDLS which cancelled many times could be the cause for the DB crash, if yes where can i find the logs for this , if not what else could have happened that the DB crashed . Thanks for your responses in advance.

Hi Nainesh,
Thanks for the message , yes system is up and running fine , the DB team did a restore of Production data on Quality again , and i did the post refresh activities again , the issue what had happened last time was we were doing simultaneous refresh of two systems at a time , BI prod to BI qas and ECC prd to ECC qas , we had found a list of tables in BDLS which gets updated when we run BDLS and we run those tables only , unfortunately the files got exchanged , the ECC tables should have run on ECC machine and BI tables should have run on BI machine which didn't happen and it happened the other way round BI tables where run on ECC machine , due to which BDLS failed and the job got cancelled many times, which impacted the whole system conversion and logical update , which crashed the DB( i exactly don't know the reason what happened internally , still searching for it ) . At present the machine is up and running fine.

System Refresh getting error "Your System has corresponding JAVA stack"

Hello Experts,
I am trying to do a system refresh on my HCM system which is ABAP only.
When I run SWPM --> Generic Installation Options -->MS SQL Server --> Database Tools --> Database copy completion, I get the following error.
Version Information is as follows:
Kernal is 721
ECC 6.0 Basis 702 level 9 (Netweaver 7.02)
Windows server is 2008 R2 standard
MSSQL is 10.50.4000
Yes, I have done my research and failed also has a High OSS message open with SAP. This issue is very critical so any help as early as possible is highly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi Muhammad,
It looks like you have a Java schema in your database, and sapinst is finding that and therefore assuming it's a double-stack system. Perhaps this system used to be double-stack at one time, and then was split? In the trace file I saw the following entries, at different points:
SID: HCT
DbServer: USALSQLT01\HCMT
DbName: HCT
ABAP Schema: hct
Java Schema: SAPHCTDB
TRACE      2014-04-18 09:26:36.318
Found corresponding java schema SAPHCPDB. Aborting.
TRACE      2014-04-18 09:26:36.333 [iaxxgenimp.cpp:325]
           CGuiEngineImp::showDialogCalledByJs()
showing dlg d_doubleStackSystemError
TRACE      2014-04-18 09:26:36.333 [iaxxgenimp.cpp:335]
           CGuiEngineImp::showDialogCalledByJs()
<dialog sid="d_doubleStackSystemError">
<title>Unsupported System</title>
<dialog/>
So, that seems to be the cause. If you're sure this is only supposed to be a single-stack ABAP system, you might try deleting the SAPHCPDB schema using database tools and then re-running sapinst.
While you're at it, it looks like you might have an old copy of Sun JRE 1.4.2 still installed (perhaps from the old days when that version was required to run sapinst). In the environment variables in the trace I saw:
JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_29-x64
You might want to uninstall that if you don't need it anymore, and unset that environment variable. Also, your swap size looks low for a 64-bit system with 8 GB RAM, even for a test system:
Swap size (MB): 9998.18

Logical System Conversion after system refresh failed

Hello,
Logical System Conversion after system refresh couldn't complete as the printer was locked. This job was run in the background. In SM37, the job log of RBDLSMAP shows as job finished, but it took only 40 seconds. Now I see that the logical system got changed(Converted) in the client settings scc4 but I know that this client being a production client and would run for couple of hours. Here is the job log information.

When try to rerun bdls again, it shows that it is already available and it says "The new logical system name is already assigned to the current client".
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi ,
Rerun the BDLS again as this took very little time.
When you try to run again it popsup message saying it already exists just delete that and again put the Logical system name and run it will run that time.
May be while scheduling the job you gave for spool I am not sure why is it looking for Printer which is locked.
Thanks.

How to handle the CRM Middleware after system refresh?

Guys,
We are using CRM 5.0 & R/3 4.6C. We have the middleware configured and set up. We finished all inital loads & delta loads are activated as well. The system works perfectly.
Now for some reason the client wants to refresh the R/3 system. (Basically they are copying over the R/3 Dev system to refresh the R/3 Sandbox system. Our connection is currently between the 2 sand box systems) What impact will this have on the CRM system? Will it cause mass delta downloads? I have already referred to notes 588701 & 765018. Any additional information or watch outs will be appreciated.
Secondly what's the best practice do a refresh in the future? Is there a SAP recomendation on how to go about with system refresh when CRM & R/3 are connected?
ARP

Hello ARP,
as always: It depends what to do:
a) do you have a CRM DEV System available? If possible you should get the connection working over there and then do a Landscape Copy of the R/3 DEV + CRM DEV to the Sandbox Landscape.
b) Let them copy the R/3 DEV to the R/3 Sandbox. Then use the Data Integrety Manager (Transaction SDIMA) to get the missing Customers, Transactions exchanged.
In the future they normally have to do a Landscape Copy.

Windows 8.1 will not activate on HP19-2113w after system refresh.

Everything was working fine on my PC. Then the other day it crashed and said there was a disk error and that it had to scan the whole drive to find the error. It finished scanning, but windows 8.1 would not load sucessfully. Therefore I did a system refresh thru HP recovery. After doing that windows would start up normally, but I lost my activation. When I tried to activate the response was "Key doesn't work try again later" or something like that. Kept trying, no luck. I thought it may have been an error with the system refresh, so I did the total system reset (after saving personal data). Now I am having the same problem with activation, and If I try to navigate the normal way to the activation screen, the screen disapears. I can get to activation using command prompt. but key still does not work. The key I am using I retrived from my BIOS data. Also, I ran the refresh and reset from the origional hard drive partition. I hope someone has a solution to this. Thanks is advance Bill

Steps for System Refresh for ABAP + JAVA stack

Hi friends,
I am newbie to SAP BASIS adminstration. There is a system refresh activity planned shortly.
Can someome pls let me know the steps for system refresh of ABAP + JAVA stack??

Ambarish.

System Refresh: Abap+Java stack

Have a few questions about CRM refresh I'm working on. Done many refreshes over the years and the new process has me shaking my head in disbelief.
Performed a normal system refresh, by restoring online backup of production system onto mirror system. The mirror system exactly matches my production sytem (Oracle 10g, SuSE Linux 64 bit, UNICODE).
Now my system is running from Abap stack perspective, however Java components fail to load.
Now from reading the documentation (System Copy for SAP, Based on SAP Netweaver 2004s Abap+Java) it appears that I have to use sapinst and no longer use online database backups for system refreshes.
Is this the case? Has the investment my organization made into online backups now worthless?
Is there a way to take the java schema in this online copied database and bring it online after converting it to work on the mirror landscape?
Or should I throw out our system methodology and start new

Thank you for the reply.
Reading SAP's documentation seems to imply that I need to extract out the java schema from my production source and then re-install on my QA target to make a refresh of the java stack possible.
However, if I have a complete copy of my source system database working on the target, why is the extract necessary?
At least, I should be able to extract out the contents from the source as if it was the target, thereby eliminating any sort of production outages (we have many constraints about shutting down production from fuctional perspective).
I'll do some research around the other tools mentioned to see if they can lend a hand fixing the issue,

Post System Refresh Activity - BDLS run

Hi,
We have finished system refresh of a QA system from Production. We need to run BDLS now to convert the original Production logical systems to QA relevant logical systems.
I am short of understanding of this process. Can anyone please help me with the concept and process?
Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Hi Abdul Rahim Shaik,
BDLS will convert the logical system name for your PROD to QAS.
For eg:
Your source - PRDCLNT100
Your target - QASCLNT100
If you go to SCC4 in your QAS, u will see Prod logical system name for the client.
Once you run BDLS after system copy, logical system name exist in every table for PRDCLNT 100 will change to QASCLNT100.
Refer to below link for more info:

System Refresh problem - request/task does not exist

I have a problem after system refresh, and when I am trying to import users and roles, I get the message - request/task XXXXXXX does not exist.
Data/cofile are present.
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks in advance,

I got it ... in SCC4, the client role must have been set to TEST instead of PRODUCTION, since the refresh is on Quality.

Sender File Comm Channel Fails after system refresh

Hi,
we did a system refresh of our PI system and since then the sender file communication channels donot work with the following exception:
Error: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.
I have seen many threads in this forum related to this issue but couldn't find a proper solution.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
MLS

You may do the following:
1. Perform SLDCHECK on XI.
2. Check if XIAFUSER is not locked or its password has been changed recently.
3. Goto SLD-> Business sytems-> Integration server, check Pipeline URL. It should be
http://hostname:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

CUA - System Refresh

Hello,
I am new to CUA and need help in determining the pre and Post steps for CUA during the System Refresh. The System Refresh is performed on the Child System and after the Refresh my original users and Role assignments have to overwrite the users and Role Assignments of the Copying System.How do I retain my original User data ?
Are their any guidelines to this process ?
I am researching oss and forums,and so far I don't have any clear procedure.
thanks,
Farah

Hello Farah,
I think by system refresh you mean system copy.
From system copy perspective follwing steps need to be taken:
pre copy steps:
1. Disconnect CUA. Please go to the child system. Go to TRANSACTION BD64 and delete the ALE model view for CUA.
Subsequently go to parent system. Then to transaction SCUA. In menu bar go to Distribution model and then to Delete. Choose the radiobutton Child System and then give the logical name of the child system.
Post system copy activties:
1. in case the system copy has been performed from parent system of CUA to child system then go to child system and then goto BD64. Delete the exisitng ALE model for CUA. If parent system is not the source system of CUA you can ignore this step. Next Login to parent system. Go to SCUA then change mode and then add the logical system name of child system to it.Next go to SCUG and do user master reconcilliation.for this double click on child system and then under do transfer users wherver it is available.
Frankly these are ideal steps after system copy ahich I follow since there is not much disparity in user master data across systems in my CUA. So even if system copy happens the user master data in child system remains more or less the same.
If at all there is a minor difference I adjust it through SU01 or SU10. However in case there is a major difference then you it becomes a bit complicated. reasons being system copy wil overwrite entire stuff. Whether it is CUA or any other data. Say for example a child role exisits in child system but is not in the source system of system copy then it wont be present after system copy. if there are such issues then let us know. May be we can think
something. otherwise this approach should do the job for you.
Please award points if you found the anwers useful.
regards.
Ruchit.
