Hi,

you can't split DNTF,DDNTT,DDNTF_CONV_UC,DDNTT_CONV_UC

For additional database-specific information, see also Note 888210 - NW 7.**: System copy (supplementary note).

We don't need to apply Note 925309 - Oracle: Problems in homogeneous migration because we have SAP BASIS >700 SP09 (current is 701 SP08).

Note 813562 - Incorrect create index statement for partitioned indexes is not to be applied because only available for 6.20-6.40.

As mentioned in note 88210 no need to specify the database version.

Hi,

  As per the system copy guide, you can't split DNTF,DDNTT,DDNTF_CONV_UC,DDNTT_CONV_UC

Please see the attachment for your reference.

You should delete the entries of these tables before starting the splitting.

Or you can use the package splittin feature available in the SAPINST itself for splitting..

Thanks and Regards,

Hallo,

If your exports is combined with unicode conversion maybe you have to read this note : Note 833946 - Note 833946-Splitting of STR files :

"

As part of the unicode conversion R3load STR files have been split before the export to create smaller packages for the system copy. As a result the tables DDNTT and DDNTT_CONV_UC have been separated into different STR files as well as the tables DDNTF and DDNTF_CONV_UC.

The problem may occur if you use the perl based script SPLITSTR.PL or the java based package splitter tool version 1 from the SAP Service Markte Place or from the installation kit NW 04 SR1.

Solution

1. 1. Make sure that the tables DDNTT and DDNTT_CONV_UC are part of the same STR file.
2. 2. Make sure that the tables DDNTF and DDNTF_CONV_UC are part of the same STR file.
3. 3. If the unicode conversion is done during the import, make sure that the package which contains the DDNTF* tables are imported before the one with the DDNTT* tables and both packages are imported before all other packages.
4. 4. If you already exported the source database and only then recognized, that the tables mentioned above have been split into different packages, you can merge the packages with DDNTT and DDNTT_CONV_UC and the packages with DDNTF and DDNTF_CONV_UC and only export these packages once again.
