That depends if your use and export or a backup....

If you did an export (R3load) then 1 if you are using a backup then 2

Thanks Juan..Which one is the better for ABAP or JAVA??If I choose Backup whether we need to export the Old System CI??

That depends on your requirements... all that info is on the Homogeneous System Copy Guide.

For ABAP you can go either way. For ABAP+JAVA i will stick to the guide.
