Which master DVD for system copy ?

Hi
If you have a Nw7.0 SR1 installation that has since been patched to be the same or higher level than SR2 - which master DVD should be used for a homegeneous system copy ? SR1 or SR2 ?
SR2 seems logical, but then you need also the DVD's (java etc) for SR2 which you normally wouldn't have around...

Hi Per,
I will go ahead with the SR1 ones... when you do a Homogenoues System Copy you basically are installing a new system and then moving the database with all the patches from the source system.

Where can I find the upgrade master dvd for upgrade to ERP 6.0 EHP4 (windows/oracle) ? Does anybody knows the right materialnumber?
My collegues has copied the relevant dvds from sap upgrade dvd-package to disk and I don't find th "upgrade master dvd" with STARTUP.BAT.
I looked into download area service.sap.com/swdc:
My Company's Application Components->SAP ERP->SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE-> EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01
but there are only upgrade export dvs, language dvd, etc, but NO Upgrade master dvd, too!!!
Kind Regards,
Uta

Dear Ute,
i use this one "Number 51036889"
it is the Upgrade Master from NW701 which is also for EHP4.
Its located under the EHP1 Tree:

Save for system Copy grouping how we can use

Hi,
In transporting objects for grouping the collected objects (necesaary,iefore,after and befroe ,after i am ok with those) i do not know waht is the use save for system Copy can anybody expalin what it is and how it is useful when collecting the objects.
Thanks & Regards
sathish

Hi,
Before transport the objects, you must set the source system connections, we won't trasport source systems, but I need to tell to my system if I release and Transport the request then where it shoud go and which source system/target system like this , you can check in RSA1>Tools>Assignements of source system.
I'm not getting
what is the difference between for coping and before after collecting please i want some clarification
Thanks

Error while running sapinst for system copy

Hi all,
For system copy activity of our ECC 6 system, we ran sapinst to take data export but it is not getting started and giving error "Login in process error -
An attempt to write to socket 1684 failed; reason: This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
Any idea how to fix this !!!!!!
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan I

Hi,
Here is my opinion on this error, please try this out if you have downtime on your ECC system.
1. Reboot your windows system and then try exporting your DB.
2. Alternatively bring down your SAP system and DB and then try running the export and see whether it is moving fine.
Keep us posted with your feedback which will help to provide you with any other additional troubleshooting points.

Transport for System Copy from RSA1 in BW 3.5

Hi Guys,
I am not able to create transport for Source system objects for system copy in RSA1.
I have copied the production system(BWP) to sandbox(BWQ) and want to connect to same source system.
According to note 886102 when creating transport for Source system objects I am getting following error.
You cannot use request BWQK900020
Object ISIP ZPAK_5FKMUFOSQPPRNYYDZV1U6A7W0 could not be saved to order
BWQK900020
This is stand alone system but for transports I have created virtual system. Before creating virtual system I am able to create transports. But now after creating virtual systems I am not able to get pass above errors.
Any help would be appreciated also with points.

Export for system copy fails - Error 9 (Bad file number)

Hello all,
I am attempting to perform the export phase for a hetergenous system copy on our BI system (BI 7.0 - NW2004s). This system runs on HP-UX 11.11 using Oracle 10.2.0.2 and will be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005, once the export is complete.
While running sapinst to export the data from the source system, there are several input dialog screens that are skipped, which means I am not able to enter all the paramters used for the export. After seeing this behavior from sapinst, I reviewed the sapinst.log and sapinst_dev.log files and find the warning/error "System call failed. Error 9 (Bad file number)". I have included a portion of these files below.
I have reviewed notes 546006 and 583861, but these seem to refer to an Oracle error ORA-27121, but I am not receiving any Oracle errors in sapinst.log or the Oracle alert log. I have looked for possible permission or ownership problems with any of the SAP or Oracle files, but have not found any that were incorrect. Also, these errors do not specify which file sapinst is having problems with, so I do not have a specific file or area to check.
If anyone has seen something similar to this and has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I did confirm the points you made, and have the details below.
1. check filesystem, if you have enough space, especially /tmp
All filesystems have available space, and /tmp has 310 MB available, before the start of sapinst.
2. check again alert log, trace log for Oracle,
I could not find any errors in the alert_SID.log or any unusual trace files.
3. How did you run sapinst? Are you using "root" account.
I am running sapinst as user root and I am following all the recomendations in the system copy guide (at least as far as I can tell. ;p )
We have four BI systems in this landscape, and the other three have migrated successfully. The procedure I am using, is the same as for the other 3 systems and uses the same SAP media directory that was used on the other systems.
One other item that may be part of my problem here, is that this system is the production system, and was originally installed as a high-availability system, using HP-UX Service Guard for clustering. Currently, this system does not have fail-over enabled, but of course the cluster is still intact. One required piece of the Service Guard enviornment is the use of a virtual hostname. This seems to resolve successfully by sapinst, as I see the correct (virtual) hostname referenced several times. While this is a clustered system (for fail-over purposes), the CI and DB are installed on the same host. So it is not a distributed system, and if failover had been initiated, it would fail both the CI and DB instance, which is the same and only SAP instance.
This did raise one question in my mind, however. I am attempting to extract this using the following menu path within sapinst.
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3 --> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Source System Export --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java
Since this does use Service Guard, but is not a distributed system, should I be using a different path in the sapinst tree, for the export? I have only performed a migration using the above path, so I am not familar with the detailf of the other types, such as High-Availabitly or Distributed-System.

Rusty

SMIGR_CREATE_DDL for System Copy

Dear All,

Hi,
Table split option is used for very large databases, you can use normal export/import method.
What is your database size ?
I had done UC for databases upto 1.5 TB, never used table split technique.
Keep it simple while doing complex tasks.

How to export for System Copy

I know I can import the database using system copy in sapinst but can someone please explain how do I export the existing database so that I can import it.

Hello Rajesh,
the same way as you do an import.
In the sapinst menu is a point for exporting the database.. that is what you are searching for.

Use hdblcmgui for system copy

I used to use SWPM/sapinst to migrate BW from row-based DB (e.g. MaxDB, Oracle, etc.) to Hana.
Now hdblcm and hdblcmgui are the exclusive tools to handle SAP hana install/upgrade/copy.
However in my preview on hdblcm and hdblcmgui , I cannot find DB export or DB import option.
I have searched Hana SPS08 documentation and failed to find any info about system copy using hdblcm or hdblcmgui.
There are 2 parameters for hdblcm to rename a Hana system, however it cannot keep the source system. If we want to clone a Hana system, i.e. keep the source system while cloning it to a target system, what is the parameter?
Thanks if you can include some screenshots or links about this question.
Regards.

Hi,
You don't use hdblcm/hdblcmgui to perform system migration/system copy. You still need to use SWPM to export from source DB and import into HDB.
You use LCM tools (hdblcm/hdblcmgui) to install HDB, update HDB, rename HDB and for full usage, refer to the note below:
1997526 - SAP HANA lifecycle manager with SAP HANA Database SPS08

QCM tables delete for System copy

HI,
I am doing a system copy sourse:
SAP SR2 6.0
OS: HP-UX 11.23
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Target System:
SAP SR3
OS: Red Hat Linux Ent. 5.4
Database 10.2.0.4
In the system copy guide it is mentioned to clear QCM table before start sapinst in source system.
The precautions mentioned are:
That the tables are consistent u2013 no restart log or conversion procedure termination must be displayed
That the data of the original table can be read
If application programs that use the affected original table do not run correctly, do not delete the QCM table yet.
and If i run SE14 and get the list of QCM tables it is as below:
=======================================================
Temporary tables from conversion without restart log

Please suggest me if I can remove these tables? What would be the impact?

Dear Rajat ,
QCM Tables should be deleted before starting the migration ,
check the following SAP note
9385 - What to do with QCM tables (conversion tables)
to delete QCM tables. call transaction SE14 and select 'Extras->Invalid temp. table' in the menu bar This displays all the QCM tables that can be deleted. You can highlight these and choose a pushbutton to delete them

Making a DDP Master DVD for a replication plant

I want to make sure I do this right before I send it to the plant... I formatted a DVD-9 project and I now have a Layer0 and Layer1 folder. My understanding is that I should provide the plant with a reference disc and also a DDP data disc for each layer. I am about to burn in Toast and was wondering whether I should a) create MAC and PC data discs that contain the DDP folders (layer0 and layer1), b) make discs that are named "layer0" and "layer1" and contain the control and image data from the DDP folders.
In general I have never sent a DDP to a plant before and I am not sure how they read these discs... what is the protocol here?
Thanks,
Evan

DVD-ROM (UDF) selection in Toast. I usually just drag Layer 0 in for first layer when I have used DVD-R (so the disc is Layer 0) and the same for the next layer. Also you should speak with your plant to see what they may want or prefer.

Installation Master DVD Distributed Java System Copy menu missing

Hello Gurus
We want to perfom an Java system copy of our EP 6.0 using sapinst
The source OS is Solaris 8.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
The target OS is Solaris 10.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
Our architecture is Distributed , CI is running on a system and DB server on another system.
For this operation we use the master DVD 51033746_12 but we have an issue in exporting the DB as the
Option for exporting the DB on a Distributed system is not displayed on the sapinst Menu .
We followed the last guide taken from sap 'Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 SR 1' and this option should be listed
Excerpt:
Choose the installation service SAP NetWeaver u201904 Support Release 1--> Java System --><DB> --> Distributed System --> Migration - Database Export.
Unfortunately the Distributed system is not displayed and though we are stuck at the export step .
I could not find any sapinst patches . Is it a known issue for Soalris system and is there a Workaround .
Thanks for your help

Hello
Thanks for your answer . Unfortunately this option is not available as we are using a NW04 SR1 system , not a nw'2004's one . With the latest master install (Installation_Master_6.20_6.40_05_08 51033746_5 )we have the choice of
System copy Source --> Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
--> HA Java system --> oracle --> Migration Data export
System copy Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Central system-> Migration Data export
Target --> Java system --> oracle --> Distributed system -> Migration Target Central instance / Db instance install
The Distributed system is available for Import option but no for the export one .
My questions are :
- Can we use a master nw2004's master DVD for system copy on a Nw'04s one ?
- As the central instance is hosted on different system than DB instance , should I use the HA option ?
Regards
