Hello
I am trying to copy production system into development system by using backup & restore method but SWPM is giving me an error like below.
Assertion failed: Unable to use already installed database software
I am using latest version on SWPM and Sybase ASE software. I used SAP Note 1591387, 1611715 and 1585981.
This is sapinst_dev log

What can I do?
Hello Kaan,
As Paul Power said, there shouldn't be any existing database when you try to restore using SWPM. You can delete the database and then try to import using SWPM.
Alternatively, you can restore the the backup using the restore command through command prompt. Recently we have done this and it worked fine.

Prakaash

Hello
I uninstalled everything on dev server including Sybase DB and restarted system copy process. I passed that error, and after that it asked me my backup location. I showed it my last dump file's location but after process began it failed on configure database server stage.
Error is like below.

Thanks
Here is my solution
I uninstalled all SAP instances (DAA and my SAP system) and uninstalled Sybase DB as well. I put my dump file into a folder and showed SWPM that folder. After that I did memory configuration according to
Note 1837579 - SYB: SAP installer fails at step "Configure Database Server"
I also integrated latest 720 EXT UC kernel into my kernel dvd.
I hope this helps to others.
Dear Kaan,
Is their already an existing Sybase installation on the target machine?
I believe their should not be at this stage, then sapinst would not find an already existing sybase installation, would create one and pause, prompting you to restore your backup.
Check for existing environment variable SYBASE, and if it exists, check what exists on that path.
If issues persist, pleae attach the full sapinst_dev.log and the last few log files which were updated by this phase.
Regards,
Paul

Hello
There was already a development system on target host, I am only trying to refresh my system landscape. So I restored my production system into development system after that I executed SWPM and got that error. I also selected homogeneous system copy option but after I show SWPM my Sybase RBDMS folder it stops and gave that error.
