Hi

Heterogeneous system copy is same as OS/DB migration as either OS or DB is changing frm source to target. And for doing this task you need to be OS/DB certified.

For homogeneous system copy, I would recommend an experienced DBA who has rich experience in backup/restore activities.

All generic information is available in the link http://service.sap.com/systemcopy

Hello Ashish,

You can find the guides here in this location.

https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/systemcopy

If you have complete backup then you start you SAPInst on the system on which you want to have systemcopied.

Then when you are starting DB instance then instead of using the Export DVD you need provide the Database which is backed up. There are screens where it will ask you for editing SID you need to specify that during DB instance.

For further processes you can download the corressponding guide from above link.

Thanks & Regards
