Homogeneous copy

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing a database migration from the existing Production to a new server with same OS,DB and SAP ERP version. The new server type is also same with more memoryand HDD resources. The OS is windows 2003 server, DB Oracle 10.2 G and ERP version is ECC 6.0. I am planning for an homogenous copy using sapinst. My plan is to export the database using sapinst from the current production server and import to the nerserver using sapinst. Pls clarify the following points before doing the the export/ import and help me to do this activity with out much issues.

1. What are prerequistes to be carried out before doing this activity.

2. While importing whether we have to create the central instance creation before importing the database.

3. What are post installation activities.

4. Is there any other better method to carry out the server migration.

yes, this is probably what he meant.

good documentation is available at http://www.basisconsultant.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=185&func=fileinfo&id=10

just replace command "svrmgrl" with:

sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

^^ which one do you use? System Copy for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP includes all steps - regardless of the oracle release...10g is a must when running nw 70

yes, it is applicable.

note that in ORacle 10g, you must use sqlplus and not svrmgrl. check step 4b.

use sqlplus

You can do a backup/restore, this will install a new CI and then wait for the restore of the database to complete and then do the post processing. No need to use R3load.

Check the system copy guides at

Hi Markus,

You mean backup/ restore using BRtools?.

Either that - or by copying an offline backup - read the guide I posted.
