Split CI and Database - Central System to Distributed System - JAVA

[Former Member]

Hello SAP Gurus,

I tried searching market place but could not find a documentation to split CI and database of a JAVA system.

Please help with the high level steps.

your quick response is very much appreciated.

Current Setup:

Central System - Central instance and SAP database on same server - HOST1

Operating System - SuSE 11 SP2

Database - Oracle

SAP product - Biller Direct (EBPP)

System Type - JAVA

New Setup:

Distributed System - Database and Central Instance on 2 different servers - CI will REMAIN on HOST1, Database will be moved to a brand new server HOST2.

Operating System - SuSE 11 SP2

Database - Oracle

Will there be any issue with database hostname changing from HOST1 to HOST2?

Best Regards,

-Vinod

You can achieve this by doing a Homogeneous System Copy. You will create the target system by following the option for the Distributed installation. The other option is to set up the database on the new server (HOST 2) and restore the database backup from the old server (HOST 1).

This requires a lot of manual changes like DB hostname changes in the profiles, changes in the listener and tnsnames.ora file entries, changes in the Configtool and it is achievable but it is not supported by SAP as they only support system copy.

Check this article to get an idea

Hello Vinod,

This can be done by following the System Copy procedure. You can find the complete guide with all steps in service.sap.com/instguides.
