System Copy - JAVA Export and Import on existing ABAP Installation

[Former Member]

Hi,

Hi,

We are performing system copy on NW2004s system.IN source system we

only selected JAVA for export using SAPINST option:

Additional Software Life-Cycle Tasks --> System Copy --> MS SQL Server --> Source System --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java

We executed Export Preparation and Database and Central Instance Export

It was successful complettion of JAVA export. In the same way on Target

System:

We selected Central System Installation from (Target System) Options

but the import hanges at DDLMSS.TPL during IMPORT but we never intended

to import ABAP.

Is there anyway I can import only JAVA on trarget since my ABAP is

installed and running already.

In Netweaver04 it used to work without any issue but in Netweaver 2004s

we have issues in importing JAVA on already installed ABAP system. We

want to use Export copy for JAVA system installation on already

available ABAP system.

Further Information:

SAP for my OSS message replied:

Dear Rajkumar,

Are you referring to Java Add-In installation ?

My reply to SAP:

Thanks for your prompt response.

I think JAVA-Addin will do the fresh installation of JAVA which creates

a fresh schema but what I need is to have JAVA export from a Double

Stack System (ABAP+JAVA) and I want to import in already installed ABAP

system. I used System Copy option as mentioned above and exported the

JAVA schema successfully. When I was exporting I was given options to

whether to export JAVA or ABAP or both and also whether to shutdown

during export.

When I performed similar options on the traget system, It never asks

whether to import JAVA or ABAP or Both, it just asks for the Migration

path and tries to deletes the schema and first it deletes ABAP Schema

also but I dont want this to happen.

My goal is to have JAVA export imported on my existing ABAP system.

Observation:

When I exported using Installation Master from IA64 system, I get an option to whether to export JAVA or ABAP or BOTH but when I start import on the traget system, it never asks this option on x64 (AMD64) system in that installation master.

Further more it tries to deletes ABAP schema.

Thanks and I appreciate any help in this regard.

Hi Ravinder,

product_cp.catalog is not available in x64 NW04s sapinst. In NW04 there is an option to select JAVA addin instalaltion with Migration option but 04s is not having an option. I have a process in place now but it is failing after 95% due to some missing indexes.

I will let you know once I am successful.

Hi Rajkumar

Yes you have to use different product catalog for java import only

./sapinst product_cp.catalog

Then in SAPinst dialog just select Migration - Target system initialization

to import Java export in to an existing ABAP stack
