Dear Henrique Girardi & Ashutosh Chaturvedi,
Great Thanks for your reply.
Here I want to clarify one topic.
Here the environment is SAP PI 7.2.3 MCOD with ( ABAP+Java ) stack with distributed system.
In SWPM system copy Netweaver 7.1 & higher with ( ABAP+Java ) stack. So I was trying.
So I am taking a different approach. Which is mentioned in the attached document.
In short I will be using the SWPM with ( Backup / restore ) with both ( ABAP+Java ) entire instance by using the following option :-
In Source System activity :
SWPM --> Netweaver Process Integration 7.1 ( higher ) --> Additional Software life cycle tasks -->
System Copy --> Source System --> Distributed System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java --> Central instance export.
In Target System activity :
I want to refresh the target system, just make a copy of the profiles, environment settings, ORA sqlnet files etc.
Preparations :-
1. If necessary, make a copy of your profiles in the SAP profile directory, a copy of the environment settings of your sidadm and oracle user and your ORA sqlnet files. Note: Maybe you want to save some other files as well.
2. Clean your target system. Delete your oracle datafiles as you would normally do with a homogeneous system copy.
Central Service Instance
1. Create an installation directory, extract the SAP installation and start the installation.
2. Install the Central Service Instance.
Choose the following path:-
Netweaver PI 7.1 --> Additional Software Life-Cycle Tasks --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Target System --> Distributed system --> Based on AS ABAP and AS JAVA --> Central Service Instance (SCS)
Choosing the above option follow the screen instructions as appears.
Then after choosing the same above option ( ...... Distributed system --> Based on AS ABAP and AS JAVA ) there are rest of the option:
--> Database Instance ( Choose this option and follow the instructions on the screen ). In this option On the database installation method selection screen choose Homogeneous System Copy (Backup/Restore). Then in this option the installation may stops with the following error message:
I may need to
Follow Note 970518 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2
-------------------------<D023322, 23/JAN/07>-----------------------
Error during system copy with Oracle-specific procedure -
vi control.xml
find "update ORACHECK_PAR" and delete row "row.createDb = false;"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restart the DB instance installation ....
On the database schema parameters select screen, fill in the schema of your source system ...
Now we will have to restore your backup into the target system . Need to pay special attention to the file permissions!
Copy the control file which is created on the source system to the database installation directory. Once the DB restore is done then we can continue the SWPM DB instance installation.
After DB instance is done then I need to do the last task in the target system choosing :-
Netweaver PI 7.1 --> Additional Software Life-Cycle Tasks --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Target System --> Distributed system --> Based on AS ABAP and AS JAVA --> Central Instance.
In this Above mentioned option there one point will come , where I have to fill in the path of the export of the source system. For me I will have
( " /app/exp/system_copy ") is my folder here.
Follow-Up Activities
ABAP : 1. Perform follow-up activities in the target system as you normally would do after a Homogeneous System Copy.
JAVA : 2. The Java engine mostly will not started automatically after the target system has been installed and then in the follow-up activities we have to perform to start the Java engine manually.
1. Follow Note 831812 - Config Tool shows incorrect parameters after System Copy
/usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSxx/j2ee/configtool
./offlinecfgeditor.sh --> ( Switch to Edit Mode ) go & select the option --> " cluster_data " --> ( expand & under this ) --> " Propertysheet Instance Properties . ID......." ( Double click ) --> ( then there will be option message window will appear - on that there will be TWO option Yes/No )
Need to Choose " Yes "
2. Restart the system JAVA will be started now.
Then after we have to perform the following activities for specific usage types (EP, XI / PI etc) or software units of the copied SAP system as mentioned in the system copy guide Depending on the required option:
Creating a Homogeneous System Copy
System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java
System Copy and Migration
