Homo System Copy problems with EP and XI

[Former Member]

Hi

I'm trying to perform a homogeneous system copy on a NW2004s environment. I've successfully done SCM and BI (both duel stack) but I'm having trouble doing EP and XI using the same method.

Sapinst runs through successfully and completes without errors. The ABAP side looks fine. The problems appear when starting the java stack. It looks like sapinst has not substituted the host name correctly. In the std_server0.out log I'm getting the following error which is referencing the source hostname (please note I have edited the host name below to protect the privacy of the customer):

Error message: "Connect to SAP gateway failed

Connect_PM TYPE=A ASHOST=<old_host_name>.co.uk SYSNR=00 GWHOST=<old_host_name>.co.uk GWSERV=sapgw00 PCS=1

Please can anyone shed some light on this problem. As I mentioned above it only seems to be occuring with EP(java stack) and XI (dual stack). I'm using AIX 5.3 and oracle 10.2.

Hello!

The error you're posting seems to point to the UME-Configuration. How should the Java-only system know, that it's UME-source has changed if you don't tell it so? I think that at least for the Java-only system you will have to update your UME-Configuration manually. I don't know for the XI - if the problem is the same it raises the question, which UME-Source are you using?

Hi Peter,

Please supply the hostname without the DNS prefix, maybe that's why it is unable to find the host.
