System Copy of an NWDI

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am in the process of migration several SAP landscapes from one datacenter to another.

The migration of R/3, CRM etc. are straightforward. Now we would also have to

copy the NWDI from the old data center to the new one in order to test all these

copied systems.

However, SAP note 877029 has some very annoying remarks regarding NWDI system copies:

IMPORTANT:
CBS and CMS do NOT support the COPY option. This means after the System
Copy migration was done you are not allowed to use the CBS and CMS in the
source system anymore. If the COPY option is selected only for DTR a COPY
is done, for CBS and CMS only a MOVE is done.

How are we supposed to test the relocation of the NWDI from datacenter A to datacenter B?

Is there only a final migration possible, but no test migration of a NWDI?

Why can't we COPY the DTR, CBS and CMS to datacenter B and use these

copies together with all the other copied AS ABAP / AS JAVA instances?

Regards,

Mark
