SAP Gurus,
I am going to start a system copy tomorrow from PRD to QAS with windows 2003 server and sql server 2005 with same kernel level. I am trying to find the procedure to perform the copy and found below. Please help and let me know if these are correct. I appreciate your help at the earliest.
Thanks,
Kavitha.
Kavitha,
I don't understand the need for Step 4. What do you mean systems files? Also, why Step 8, 10 and 11?
In SQL Server, a homogenous copy is as simple as backing up the database (source) to a flat file and restoring the target database with the backup.
After you do this, then you need to perform all the post refresh activities like changing schema, deleting old batch jobs, spool requests, BDLS etc...

Ravi,
As per your reply, all I need to do is Pre-copy steps, source backup to a flat file, restore target using source backup, changing schema, post refresh steps?
How do I change schema for sql sever 2005? I read in other forums that sapinst based installation is needed to change SID and system users. Pls help.
Thanks,
Kavitha.
I took the steps from http://joeysbasisblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/sap-system-copy-procedure.html
Is my understanding not correct?
Thanks,
Kavitha.
Thank you so much. I have redefined based on your reply. Is this correct now. Pls let me know. (So backup/restore is not needed for sapinst export/import method right?)
backup source
Pre-copy steps
EXport of source system
backup target profiles
Import of source into target
copy original profiles of target CI
backup app server profiles
Install App server
copy original profiles of target app server
Post-copy steps
Thanks,
Kavitha.
