ABAP and ABAP+JAVA system refresh FAQ

[former_member201054]

Hi,

Need to do system refresh for ABAP and ABAP+JAVA systems on AIX and DB2 platform

Pls clarify the below queries

ABAP:

1. Can we simply follow  DB2 offline backup and redirected restore..since its an offline backup restore , would it have the RFC destination, ABAP variants & etc on the target system automatically..(or) we need to do post steps manually ?

2. if we do homogenus copy(export and import)..will it reduce the steps compare with offline backup and restore..or still the post refresh steps mandatory

  If both the ABAP and JAVA in different hosts,,.how the system refresh can be done?

ABAP + JAVA:

Referred the system copy guide at SMP..but some are still unclear.

1. If we do DB2 offline backup and redirected restore, will it copy the data of Source - ABAP only into QTY,.,then how to do for the JAVA..Should it be done separately?.. and if both ABAP and JAVA in different hosts...how to do system refresh
   

if so, Steps pls

2. if we do hompgenous copy for ABAP+JAVA,..then DB2 redirected restore is not necessary?..can we it have the data of both ABAP+JAVA ?...if it has the data of ABAP+JAVA..still the post installation are must?

If so, steps pls.

Thanks a ton for your help

Hi ,

Yes , you have to perform Post installation steps, in any case .

Backup & recovery method : it is used for only ABAP instance and used where almost zero downtime required in process ( excluding offline backup) .

Export and Import Method : SAP recomended and require a downtime of source system .

System copy guide doesnot include post installation step in detail , so it would be better to search them on internet.

Hi Daniel,

You can perform ABAP+Java system refresh using 2 ways..

1) take offline backup and Java export of the source system .. perform restore and then perform Java Import

2) Perform ABAP+JAVA export though SAPInst and perform Import of the systems

In both the cases .. you need to take care of the RFC , printers, SAP_USER etc export of your target system

Moreover you need to re-establish the transport routes, regenerate the Logical systems through BDLS etc..

When we are talking abt ABAP+Java.. you need to recheck the SSO between these systems by running through SSO config

THanks,
