Hello All,

I want to do Homogenous system copy to change the SID of our existing PRD Server

We have virtulized our current PRD server & its working fine & we need to change the old PRD server as a development

hence we need to change he SID of old PRD server

Current System DETAILS:

Win 2003 SP1

Database : MAX DB 7.5

SAP : ECC 5.0

Please give me some idea how can i change the SID of the OLD PRD System

Best Regards

Hi Amol,

You may follow the following steps.

1) Take full database + log backup of old production server

2) Using SAPinst, perform database export

3) Scrap old production system

4) Install a new system with new SID you want . In SAPinst select system copy-> Target system

5) Provide path of the export dump taken in step 2.

6) Complete the installation using SAPINST.

Above steps can help you achieve the desired result.

Hi Amol,

You may refer homogenous system copy guide for pre-migration and post-migration steps.

In case your export is successful, import should go without problem.

Hi deepak,

After restoration of MAX db database on new SID i am not able to start SAP. Dispatcher is getting failed to connect database

However i have updated the KERNEL patch level but still is not getting connected,

Task performed :

1. Offline backup of PRD server

2. Restored successfully that backup on NEW DEV server with new SID.

3. After restoration complete database is up & running.

4. R3trans is also working fine.

C:\Documents and Settings\shdadm>r3trans -d

This is r3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 11.05.06 - 13:04:42)
