Hi we are trying to do a system copy of a ABAP/ Java Addin - 70 SR3 from one system to another.

We took the sapinst option for Central BASED on ABAP and JAVA

We took the save restore option.

We are curretly stuck at the step Migration Export. Looking for the LABEL.ASC for

SAP:MIGSDM:700::😘

We took the java option to create the SDM export on the source system. My export location has the following :

LABELIDX.ASC

JDMP

SDM

APPS

LABEL.ASC

SAP:JMIG:700::😘

Any ideas / suggestions?

Regards,

Brian

Dear All,

I met the same problem and created LABEL.ASC contain "SAP:MIGSDM:700:MIGRATION::" manually under <export dir>/JAVA/SDM. It works.

I am also facing exact the same problem in Homo- System copy and I am using the Vcirtual host name . Ist my Development system on on box.Using the evn ver as

export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/usr/java14_64

export TMP=/install

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java14_64/jre/bin

export SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vd27cs01

SAPINST_FORCE_DB2_SOFTWARE_PATH=/db2/db2d27/db2_v9.5

When executing sapinst.exe use the parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vd27cs01

> We took the java option to create the SDM export on the source system. My export location has the following :

What do you mean with "you took the java option"?

If you copy a combined ABAP + Java instance use the correct export option, do not to export something "manually" before. Sapinst does all the magic

We tried The several export options to get the one SAP:MIGSDM:700::😘

We tried Central System Based on AS ABAP and AS JAVA

We tried Central system based on AS JAVA

We tried Distributed System Central Instance Export for Both

None of the extracts have the SAP:MIGSDM:700::😘 .

Any idea where this is and where I went wrong.

The system is up and running on the new box just the sapinst did not complete looking for this migration file.

On a system here (non-i5):

% cat ABAP/LABEL.ASC
SAP:MIG:*:EXPORT(1/:*:*

% cat JAVA/LABEL.ASC
SAP:JMIG:700:*:*:*

% cat JAVA/SDM/LABEL.ASC 
SAP:MIGSDM:700:MIGRATION:*:*

I just started sapinst and selected "export central system based on ABAP + Java".

I just ran the export again on the I5 without the SAP:MIGSDM:700::😘 file

I just started sapinst and selected "export central system based on ABAP + Java".

There is an entry in the main export folder

LABELIDX.ASC

-ABAP

-JAVA

ABAP folder is empty

JAVA folder has 3 files

LABEL.ASC_

- SAP:JMIG:700::😘

LABELIDX.ASC

-JDMP

-SDM

-APPS

SOURCE.PROPERTIES

src.ci.sid=RP1

src.ci.instance.number=00

src.ci.instance.name=DVEBMGS00

src.apps=BI,AS,EPC,EP,AAS

src.export.version=2.0

db.copyWithDBtools=false

src.export.typeIsCopy=false

This is possible since you may have chosen the "database specific" copy. So the copy process will only pack the Java part which you will use later for the target system.

> JAVA folder has 3 files

> LABEL.ASC_

> - SAP:JMIG:700::😘

Looks good!

If the export is finished you can start sapinst again on the target system, select again ABAP + Java and "database specific copy", the system will then start with the installation and stop at some point to restore the database. After that is done continue with sapinst.

I did start the sapinst on the target with the ABAP + Java and "database specific copy", used the save files and it created and loaded the collection. The new system is available to be signon but the sapinst never finished - It stopped at the Migration Export looking for the SAP:MIGSDM:700::😘

Thanks Markus,

Do you or anyone know if I can do a fresh install and just copy in the savf without the java/ SDM export like we do a standard abap dbcopy?

No.

Sapinst must be used to do Java system copies because not everything necessary is stored in the database but also on the filesystem (hostname, instancenames) in various different files. Sapinst knows where to change that. If you just copy from another system you need to manually configure all places - which is not documented; it's feasible of course.

For a start check

Note 757692 - Changing the hostname for J2EE Engine 6.40/7.0 installation

(basically a copy is a "hostname change" )

Looking at the install options I believe I found my issue>

Do you know if there is an option anywhre for the JAVA ADD-IN for ABAP -

I only see ABAP and JAVA -

It appears that my profile parameter is missing something :

I loaded the tmksvr

started sapinst.exe USE_HOST_NAME=rp1

Took system copy export option - BASED on AS ABAP and AS JAVA Central

After I enter the path for the profile

I do not get the option to take Use database specific tools.

Anyone have ideas?

Apparently you did not enter YOUR export but copied installation disks...

We have the exact same situation. Trying to do a homogeneous system copy using database specific methods from a distributed ABAP system with Java Add- in to a central ABAP system with Java Add-in. We completed an offline database backup and a sapinst export of the Java schema on the source system. On the target, it gets to the install java portion. On the Migration Export input, it is looking for LABEL.ASC with SAP:MIGSDM:700. The export that we have taken does not have this file.

Have you gotten any response/resolution?

I think that I have resolved my issue. I was running the export on the global host (database server) which hosts the Java instance. When I ran it on the central host (application server) which hosts the ABAP instance, the files were created and the import finished successfully.

Yes - I am officially an idiot.

Since it is a virtual host

I was starting using = sapinst.exe USE_HOST_NAME=xxx

The command should be = sapinst.exe SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=xxx

Thanks to all.

Brian
