missing Server and Dispatcher node after system copy

[Former Member]

I just performed a system copy of a NW 7.01 JAVA only system for Enterprise Portal. After the import to the target system, in Configtool, the server node and dispatcher node are not there. I have looked through the System Copy guide and do not see any entry for recreating or any work that is done post import related to this. Has anyone seen this before or know the procedure for post import? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jayson,

Is your target and source system both located in same server?

Ideally, the dispatcher and server nodes will be created during installation ( system-copy) and need not be created manually.

Was your system copy successful with no errors?

Sonia

Thanks all for your responses. I solved my problem by re-installing the target system, then running the system copy import again. Everything ran smoothly this time around. My guess is that there were issues with my initial install of the target system from the beginning.

Check if "Note 1131198 - Configtool does not show server nodes" helps.

You can add more nodes with the configtools after the copy. As far is i can remember, the newer sapinsts (>= NW 7.1) have the possibility to specify the number of server nodes during installation. But when i did a system copy of a PI 7.3 lately the second node wasn't copied as well. But again with the newer releases only a fraction of the ../cluster/serverX directory is copied and adding more nodes is very fast.
