SWPM/MSSQL Homo system copy

[former_member206857]

Hi All,

I'm building a new system on windows 2008r2 from scratch.

I installed MSSQL 2012.

I restored a backup of my source system database.

I'm now running SWPM and I do not see my options.

My Server is a ERP 6. EPH6 ABAP,

I only see SAP Business Suite 7, so EHP3 for CRM or EHP7 for ERP.

Any suggestions?

My SWPM is 1.0 SP06.

I believe I must select my <PRODUCT><DB><SYSTEM COPY><TARGET SYSTEM><STANDARD SYSTEM><ABAP><DATABASE REFRESH>

He will still need the SWPM for the higher releases to perform post database copy tasks.

Stephen, can you clarify what you meant by this?

My mistake in misreading Yukel's reply. Yes, there are two versions of SWPM. One for older kernels (7.22) and one for newer kernels (7.31 & 7.4x). If you are cloning a system with the older kernel you need both versions of SWPM. The newer kernel version is required if you want to use the MSSQL utilities for post copy.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

in note 1680045 - release note for SWPM.

There is a link to a PDF describing what products are installed with what SWPM tool!

Link is attached above

I'm having a hard time with this,

ERP6/EHP6 is based on NW7.31

How can a tool designed for any NW7.0 product be used?

Now I'm not sure how to proceed

I'm thinking of using the SWPM and installing the erp6/ehp7 option, since im doing a system copy and my source is erp6/ehp6, once all completed, I assume it should be fine.

Since everything is comprised in the DB...

Unless I just install a nw731 instance...and then restore into that...just extra steps...

WTF SAP!!

I've read the guide many times, my question is not covered in the guide.

I'm trying to find my business product in what SWPM...
