Hi Amarnath,

It is highly recommended to use SWPM to do the system refresh.

If you want to do it without SWPM, at least you should involve an

experienced consultant who has finished the simialr task.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi All,

Thanks a lot, I have started the process and I cannot switch to SWPM right now. I have completed some

1) General pre-steps at SAP level.

2) Cleared (Not deleted) R3SIDDATA

3) Restoration of production data to target system.

Now could you please help me with the rest of post steps in AS400 like creation of Journal receiver, System catalogues also advice me if I have missed any.

Please help with these

Regards,

Amarnath
