Solution Manager system copy Dual Stack

[florin_radulea]

Hello all,

I have one Solution Manager (ABAP+JAVA). Last week I made one offline backup for this system (offline backup), after that I reinstalled all in this server SAP and Oracle DB (including OS-SUSe10) and I build the same SAP system from that offline backup using restore.

My problem is now because I am not able to start JAVA engine. I knew that I had to perform this homogeneous system copy using sapinst to export ABAP+JAVA schema but I was needed to use this option because I didn't have enough time.

Question: 1. It is possible to export now only the JAVA stack (from database) and to import again?

2. If this will work can you please tell me if there I have to uninstall only JAVA stack and install again from import?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Hi,

this will not work. The best way to perform a system copy of a dual stack is to use sapinst with the backup/restore options.

Install a plaine system an restore the db would not work.

Sapinst exports also a lot of stuff from the filesystem repository.

Perform the copy again with sapinst. It will be faster than fix all manually

Kind Regards

Franz

Hi Franz,

Thank you for your response.

OK...so to understand to try to export again both ABAP+JAVA stack using sapinst. Can you please tell me if my JAVA OS files now are not ok, sapinst will know what to export? I ask this because I think my JAVA files are not ok.

I will list the steps that I will try to follow. Can you please tell me if these are ok?

1. Export actual SAP system using sapinst with option export ABAP+JAVA

2. Uninstall SAP+DB from actual server

3. Install SAP using option System Copy (Target system)

Thank you,

King regard,

Hi Florin,

your steps are correct. Uninstall of the source system is only necessary if you install the target on the same maschine.

Sapinst will export all necessary java stuff (db and repository)

Take care if you use another java version. Maybe you have to correct vm settings and the java path with configtool.

Also read the system copy guide for preperations and post steps!

Kind Regards
