System Copy - Solman - Maxdb - wat is <instdir> of the export

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am performing a homogeneous system copy of a solution manager 700 ehp1 with maxdb DB. The Guide says that the generated DDL statements should be placed in the <instdir> of the export.

Which is the <instdir> of an export. We have created a /export mountpoint on our linux system for having the export file.

The DDL statements were created in the /tmp directory.

Now to which directory does "<instdir> of export" mean?

Aplogies if this sounds too silly, but i am new to System copy procedures and i wanted to be sure before proceeding.

Please let me know your answers on this.

Thanks and Regards,

Raghavan

hi DDL files mostly needed if your source system is BI / BW system.. the DDL file is the file that generated for BW tables that unique that normal tables..

and you can copy the result into you export folder ( where you export the data to) /DB/ of the target system before you import the data. This is the only way that R3load can evaluate these special files

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help. we had placed the files into the import folder where we placed our exported file in target system. it worked fine.
