Migration export dvd missing in system copy process

[Former Member]

Hi

1. We are doing system copy of XI 3.00 server that is based on SAP

Web AS 6.40.

2. I'm following the "Homogeneous and Hetrogeneous system copy for SAP

System based on SAp Web AS ABAp 6.40 patch collection" document.

Document version is 1.1 - July 11,2007.

3. I'm using R3load tool for system copy (page 40 to 49). I exported

the database (XDV) as per guide and now trying to re-import in XQA.

4. Central instance in XQa has been installed successfully and not i'm

stuck while installing the database instance. Process is looking for

"Migration export" dvd that i don't have.

Anyone get the same error? If someone suggest me the dvd number, i'll downlaod it from sapnet.

Thanks Elena,

I indeed checked and found the LABEL.ASC in our export dump directory with the required label by sapinst. I entered the export dump directory having the LABAL.ASC and process continued successfully.

Thanks so much!

Try starting the instance manually as follows:

su - ora<sid>

sqlplus /nolog

connect / as sysdba

In all likekihood, the instance will not start, with specific reasons for the same. just fix them, and see it working.

Am sure you'll be able to get around this this way.

Dear colleague,

When sapinst asks for Migration export DVD type path to the directory in which you've placed your XDV export ("It's a Export dump (has been created by the service Migration – Database Export)")

There should be file named Label.ASC - compare it with sapinst requirement

Thanks Eleana

It fixed our problem. Now i'm getting the another problem.

"CJS-00030 Assertion failed: Component OraDbBuild: Context parameter dbHome must be a valid ORACLE_HOME directory."

Any idea to resolve it?

Thanks

Hi Elena

I checked the sapinst log. Seem to me, we need to first install oracle database.

but i'm not sure about it. Did you get the same type of problem?

TRACE [iaxxejsexp.cpp:208]

EJS_Installer::writeTraceToLogBook()

OraSqlContext._checkDbSidDbHome: No database with dbSid 'XQA' and dbHome '/oracle/XQA/102_64' found. Could find neither a parameter file (initXQA.ora) nor an

spfile (spfileXQA.ora).

ERROR 2008-04-09 14:49:53 [iaxxinscbk.cpp:289]

abortInstallation

CJS-00030 Assertion failed: OraSqlContext constructor: arguments dbSidOrSrcObject and dbHome are not valid.

Hi,

Yes, Oracle soft must be installed and patched (main patch +interim patches) - the same version as your source system

After the installation check enviroment variables (users ora<SID>, <SID>adm) - everything about Oracle must be in place

Hi Elena

I have installed Oracle and Oracle patch. Some more question to ask: oracle installation has created init.ora file but we need initSID.ora file.

1. Do i need to copy it from some another instance or modifed? Here we are using spfile, it's hard to edit

spfile.

2. Do i have to open the database or sapinst will open it?

Thanks

Hi

Just wait untill sapinst will finish its work

you can create pfile (initSID.ora) by using command

sqlplus

create pfile from spfile;

You should not edit pfile - use commands provided by Oracle

Hi Elena

Thanks for all your help. Refresh process of XQA from XDV is almost completed. XQA is up and java is working. Visual admin/ configtool are working good.

I'm getting one problem. When i run tcode 'sxmb_ifr', it open the XDV link (http://dbcixdv:57000/rep/start/index.jsp) instead of XQA (http://rx2n1v1:57400/rep/start/index.jsp).

Also Integration repository, integration builder, SLD are all pointing to XDV server (dbcixdv).

I changed all setting (ID,IR, SLD, RWB) in 'http://rx2n1v1:57400:exchangeProfile' and it fixed our problem but it also chnaged the XDV setting. Now XDV link is pointing to XQA server.

Here XDV and XQA are in two different hardware server.

Let me update pls how to fix this problem.

Regards

Amar
