heterogeneous system copy sequence

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to ask.

What is the heterogeneous system copy sequence did you follow?

option1

1) DEV ---> QAS -

---

> Trial PROD (can be using the exported package of QAS) ---> PROD

Option1 will lead to minimum downtime on PRD. The trial PROD is using a exported package from QAS.

But will this posted a risk of exported failed during the actual export at PRD? Whereby certain item is overlooked.

option 2

2) DEV ---> TRial PROD --> PROD ---> QAS (homogeneous copy).

This will have a longer downtime. Because PROD need to be exported twice.

Is this is the recommendation by SAP heterogeneous guide?

Hope someone has experiences this share with me the information.

Thanks.

Hi ,

I have no experience with it. But I know the definitions..

Homogeneous system copy means a system copy with all the database tables from one system to another system of same kind, like same os/db on both the systems.

A Heterogenous System copy is a copy from one system to another system of a different kind, like different os/db in either of those.
