System Refresh in SQL

I am doing a Homogeneous PRD to QA refresh in R/3 4.7 . The database is SQL server 2000. Can somebody please tell me ASAP the steps needed for this refresh. Thank you

You question is a bit away from the main subject of this forum. Unfortunately I don't know if there is a forum that deals with R/3 Installation/Upgrade issues.
PS: From my time in installation group I know that what you want to do is called "R3COPY" and consists of sp_detach_db / sp_attach_db and a couple of reports that allign to the new SID. But I no clue if/how this is supported by SAPINST.

Dear All;
I am in the post activities of SAP system refresh.
I restored the system using brtools successfully as you can see below:
then I went with the rest of the steps based on sap recomendations, and reached to SAP sql queries:
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
CREATE TABLE "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
INSERT INTO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('SAPSR3', '<Password>');
CREATE SYNONYM "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>".SAPUSER FOR "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER;
CONNECT /
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
CONNECT /as sysdba
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
I checked if all users are on opened state using select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users;
The database is running file, and it is opened, but when I run R3trans -d it gives me RC 12 and i get this error:
*** ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
set_ocica() -> SQL error code 1017
-->oci_get_errmsg (con=0, rc=1017)
OCIErrorGet -> SQL error code: 1017
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
DbSlConnect(con=0) -> orc=0, 99=DBSL_ERR_DB
***LOG BY2=>sql error 1017   performing CON
***LOG BY0=>ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I used brconnect -u / -f chpass -o PSAPSR3 -p sap so i can reset the password, but still I am getting the same invalid username or password error.
I checked the listener status, and it is running.
Kindly let me know how I can fix my error

Hi Satya,
             Thank you for the reply. QA in our landsacpe was in use since 2008. Serveral times system refresh is carried out on our QA with production data but never came accross this issue.
             Usually if the SAPINST.exe run is successfull, temperory licence will be installed and we will be allowed to login into the sytem with our user names normally and carry out post installation steps.
             As the SAPISNT.exe is being terminated, temperory license is not being installed and we got to work around by including parameter to allow default sap* userid and password to login and install license and carry on with the post installation steps. To be frank this issue is not really a show stopper, but there seems to be an issue that is to be resolved.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Bharani.

System Refresh Precautions?

Hi,
During system refresh, are all types of data - master data, transaction data as well as <b>customising data</b> get refreshed from prouduction environment?
Could you please suggest what is best way to get back project specific new customising data on a refreshed environment? Is there some sap recommended best practice on this.
regards,
Karthik

Hi Please go through. This will give you exhaustive information. After refresh we used this to get back the required system specific customizations.

System refresh of abap+java

Hi gurus,
I am trying to do the system refresh for ecc6.0 abap + java .I did the abap part with the oracle specific method where we restore the data files and run the control.sql command . But for the java part i am confused on what option i had tried to select abapJava and do an export and then when i am importing it with the abapJava option it is also doing the restoration of abap stack . If i select only java it is trying to create a instance JC00 which i dont want , Is there a method where i can only export the java stack and import into the abap system that was refreshed using the oracle restore method ?
Thanks in advance

try following this:
JAVA Refresh Procedure On SRC system
1) Execute the following command after navigating to the SAPinst directory to the JAVA export using SAPinst.
a. sapinst.exe product_cp.catalog
The export procedure is as follows
1) Specify the SID name and export directory
2) To take the export without stopping the JAVA process, uncheck the check box
On TRG System Preparations
1) Copy the export from the SRC export directory to the TRG system
2) The JAVA versions should be same on SRC and TRG
Import procedure is as follows
Execute the following command on the TRG system after navigating to the SAPinst in the Master DVD
sapinst.exe product_cp.catalog
Check for the TRG system SID for example TAJ
Note:
1) Ensure that the SAP system is up and running.
2) Ensure that temporary tablespace u201CPSAPTEMPu201D is not empty
After completing the import successfully, restart the SAP system.

Portal down after system refresh

Hello all,
We have done a system refresh for QAS from PROD for BI with export import of the backup into test. Everything was ok and refreshed BI is working fine but the SAP BI PORTAL is down. Nothing it is working. I can`t acces the link of the portal nor the visual admin nor configtool. Can you help us making the test working. I know a solution of reinstalling the portal with sapinst but i do not belive that this is the only solution.
The Test Portal have nothing changed. It is the same like it was but the BIT has changed a lot. Can anybody give some ideas how to make it work?
I give you some information found in logs:

So i have open both files services / hosts.. and everything seems to be ok. On services i found
sapgw11       3311/tcp      # SAP System Gateway Port
The servers are AIX and the DB si Oracle. Nobody changed these files for more than 2 years and before refresh oh QAS the portal worked just fine. Practically the problem is that there is no connection between BI TST and TST portal. Nothing even at unix level. I think the problem is soewhere between DB and portal.. because he can`t find any connection.

1. What can i do?
2. How many days will take?
SAP Version - ECC 6.0
DB - MS -SQL Server 2005
OS - Windows 2003 Server
Physical memory is - 8GB, Swap is - 24GB
DB Size is - 210 GB
Regards
keshav

Hi,
To be on the safer Side Just install the New system as you installed the Old PRD keeping in mind that the OSlevel the patch level and the Sap release should be same .
Once the installation Completes.you should go with the System Refresh.
Now here are the answer of your Question.
To install New PRD system it shall take 24 hour (appox).Once the base installation is completed you can go with the system Refresh.
Offline Backup will take 2 to 3 hours.(Number of hours depends on many more things).
If you have ABAP+JAVA then you beed to take the Java Export After the Backup.(1 hour)
Then you need to get the backup restored on the New Server(2 to 3 hours)
Then run Sapinst Import.(10 to 11 hours).
Post Refresh steps depends on the landscape configuration you have.
Thanks Rishi Abrol

ECC 6 system refresh

Hi all
I am trying to do the system refresh of ECC 6 for the first time. The database part is done and database is up and running but the CI dies after sometime stating that the J2EE status info unavilable.
When I dig deep in it it feels like something is wrong with the SAPUSER table in the database thats having the sapecc user and the password for it. I did the R3TRANS -X and it created the log file that tells me that its not able to connect to the database.
Can anyone tell me the correct way to do the system refresh or how can I rectify this issue now.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to do the system refresh since the last 5 days and I am not able to do it. Here is what I did last night:
1) I restored the backup of the target server and make sure that everything is working the way its supposed to work before the refresh.
2) I exported SAPUSER table and other users who are database owners.
3) I refreshed the database of the target server with source server.
4) Bring up the Oracle database.
5) Imported the users and tables.
6) Now I dont see problem with the SAPUSER table but still I am not able to start the CI. When I execute the R3trans -X following is the log file generated. I am running ECC 6 with Oracle 10 G with ABAP and Java.
Thanks for all your help.

Retain background jobs and its variants before system refresh activity

Hello All,
I am going to perform system refresh activity on quaity system on monday. Customer wants to retain the background jobs and its variants in the quality system. Please guide me and let me know the steps to retain the background jobs and its variants before starting the system refresh activity.
Regards
Subbu

Dear Subbu,
You have to export the TBT* Tables to retain the jobs. You can do this with R3trans:
1. Make Export file
2. Make Import file
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
4. Start Database and not SAP
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
6. Start sap
1. Make Export file /tmp/export_cmd
export
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
client=<your client>
delete from TBTCA
delete from TBTCB
delete from TBTCCNTXT
delete from TBTCCTXTT
delete from TBTCCTXTTP
delete from TBTCI
delete from TBTCJCNTXT
delete from TBTCJSTEP
delete from TBTCO
delete from TBTCO_V01
delete from TBTCP
delete from TBTCPV
delete from TBTCR
delete from TBTCS
delete from TBTC_SPOOLID
delete from BTCEVTJOB
select * from TBTCA
select * from TBTCB
select * from TBTCCNTXT
select * from TBTCCTXTT
select * from TBTCCTXTTP
select * from TBTCI
select * from TBTCJCNTXT
select * from TBTCJSTEP
select * from TBTCO
select * from TBTCO_V01
select * from TBTCP
select * from TBTCPV
select * from TBTCR
select * from TBTCS
select * from TBTC_SPOOLID
select * from BTCEVTJOB
2. Make Import file /tmp/import_cmd
import
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_export.log /tmp/export_cmd
4. Start Database and not SAP
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL> startup
or
startsap
stopsap r3
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_import.log /tmp/import_cmd
If you want to undo this, start the export script in P system and the Import script in Q system.
Don't be afraid of the delete statement but without delete it doesn't work!
6. Start sap
startsap
Best regards
Willi Eimler

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

Matt

Unable to login in EP 6.0 after system refresh

After performing the system refresh of EP 6.0, completed the post system copy steps.
Imported the new certificated as well, when I try to login the page is getting refresh but remains on the same page.
please help me what could be the reason.

Hi Abdul.
I think you have selected the Algorithm as RSA, which is the default one.<br />
Please change it to DSA and hope the issue will be solved.

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.

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?

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.

Gregor
