WAS Java SID change/System copy

[Former Member]

Need help !

We are trying to rfresh QA from PRD using disk copies from production (using EMC technology). We are running 4.7/640 (ABAP+Java)/Sun/Oracle/.

ABAP stack and Database comesup clean with new SID, not Java stack. Has any one done a system copy on Java stack (with SID change?), if some can help us, that will be geatly appreciated.

(We know Homogeneous system copy works, but we cannot afford production downtime).

Update: We found out that the some .jar files have reference to old SID of the system. Is there anyway to recompile/relink these refernces?

Hi Rajeev,

According to the SAP note 795267, you might need to consider an option of getting help directly from SAP Support. Also, the note #711093 claims that there are no options to perform a J2EE system copy for Sun Solaris and HP/UX.

If, for any reason, you still want to try changing SID for J2EE, here is my advices on what to change/check:

1) Check bootstrap.properties and change all entries for the SID (J2EE/cluster/bootstrap)

2) Check and adjust JDBC driver connection settings via Visual Admin

3) Check J2EE profiles and adjust parameters related to the SID

4) Check/adjust XCM settings for applications (if applicable)

Regards,

Mike
