System copy for PI 7.0 system

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are doing system copy for complete landscape and every time we used to perform PI system copy using SAP standard procedure of backup/restore, Java exp/imp.

But can we use another approach of exporting IR/ID from source to Target. Because we do not have any transactional data in PI and what are different things that we need to take care if we export individual components.

Like new ports, we20,we21, IDX1,IDX2

Thanks,

Venkat.

Can you elaborate what exactly is this approach ?

to elaborate more,

we are doing system copy from Dev to Sandbox (we already have working sand box)

I am planning below steps

1) export all the software components from development system - Integration repository and Directory

2) Adjust the transport path in SLD (source Dev and target Sandbox)

3) Import the software components to Sandbox for Integration repository and Directory.

4) change user-passwords to match sandbox authentication.

Please let me know if i am missing any steps and has any one did a copy by above procedure.

Thanks,

Venkat.
