1 Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1 Support Package 1

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, you can copy ABAP systems, ABAP+Java systems and Java systems in one run,

using either database-specific methods or database-independent methods. This document explains how

to perform a system copy for SAP systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package

1 Support Package 1 (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP 1 SR 1).

1.1 Terminology

■ Homogeneous System Copy

During the system copy you use the same operating system and database platform as the original

system.

■ Heterogeneous System Copy

During the system copy, you change either the operating system or the database system, or both.

Heterogeneous system copy is a synonym for migration.

■ Source System and Target System

The SAP system containing the original database is called the source system and the system to

which the database copy is to be imported is called the target system. Their SAP system names

are abbreviated to SOURCE_SAPSID and TARGET_SAPSID (IBM i: source_<SID> and target_<SID>).

The terms source database and target database are also used in this description.

■ System Copy

Duplication of an SAP system. Certain SAP parameters might change in a copy. When you perform

a system copy, SAPinst installs all the instances again, but it uses a copy of the source system database

to set up the database.

■ Database Copy

Database-dependent part of the system copy.

■ Placeholders

Placeholders such as <SAPSID> are used in commands. They are used in the same way as in the SAP

system installation documentation. You must replace them with the values valid for your site.


1.1 Terminology

2012-03-14 PUBLIC 5/116

The following additional placeholders are used:

Placeholder Meaning How to find out

<SAPSID> SAP system ID

<S_HOST> System name of the source host Command hostname

<T_HOST> System name of the target host Command hostname

<S_SAPSID> SAP system ID of the source system <SAPSID> of the original system

<T_SAPSID> SAP system ID of the target system <SAPSID> of the target system

<S_DBSID> Database ID of the source system <DBSID> of the original system

<T_DBSID> Database ID of the target system <DBSID> of the target system

<OS> Operating system name within a path

<DB> Database name within a path

<Technology> ABAP, Java, or ABAP+Java

1.2 Online Information from SAP

More information about system copying is available online as follows:

■ SAP System Copy & Migration page at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/systemcopy.

■ SAP OS/DB Migration page at http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration.

In addition to the information contained on this page, check the SAP OS/DB Migration Planning

Guide that is available in the Media Library.

■ SAP Note 82478 SAP System OS/DB Migration

CAUTION

Only perform a system copy if you have experience in copying systems and thorough

knowledge of the operating system, the database, and the ABAP Dictionary. Only perform a

heterogeneous system copy if you are a certified system support consultant or a certified SAP

Technical Consultant.

NOTE

If you encounter problems during the system copy, create a customer message using the

application area BC-INS-MIG.

1.3 System Architecture

1.4 Restrictions

The target system installation consists of both the target database and target instance/application server

installations. For the scenarios below, the following holds:

■ Only valid for: IBM DB2 for Linux and UNIX and Windows |

The option Deferred Table Creation is not supported for load-based system copies for SAP systems

that are not based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP 1 SR 1.End of: IBM DB2 for Linux and UNIX and Windows |

1.5 Constraints

■ Only valid for: SAP Solution Manager |

As of Support Release 4, your SAP Solution Manager 4.0 system must be a dual stack system if you

want to perform a system copy. If required, install a Java Add-In to your existing ABAP system

before you start the export.End of: SAP Solution Manager |

■ SAP does not support client transport as a system copy method. Transporting production clients

is not supported at all. You can use client transport for the initial setup of an SAP system

infrastructure. This documentation does not cover the client copy procedure.

■ This documentation does not describe how to export and import a database with the installation

tools for reorganization purposes. Use the appropriate tools for database reorganization, as SAP

does not support this installation option.

■ If you have made modifications in your development system and want to copy your quality

assurance or production system onto the development system, see SAP Note 130906.

■ This documentation describes how to copy data from one SAP system to another SAP system based

on SAP NetWeaver Application Server. This documentation does not describe how to copy data

from non-SAP systems to SAP systems.

■ If you want to convert a non-Unicode system to a Unicode system or perform the system copy of

a Unicode system, see SAP Note 551344.

■ For the development of Java applications, we strongly recommend that you follow the rules

mentioned below. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that you can copy your Java engine later with

the SAP tools to change your underlying operating system and/or database system.

■ SAP does not support all data archiving operations after a system copy.

If you used data archiving in the source or target system, access to the created archive files from

the target system may not always be possible. For more information, see SAP Note 153433 and

System Landscape Optimization at http://service.sap.com/slo.

Access to archived files from the target system without a dedicated archive migration project is

only supported in the following cases:

● Your system copy clones a source system for nonproductive purposes, for read-only access to

the previously archived data from the target system (no reloading), and you do not store

archive files using ArchiveLink/CMS.

You can either copy all archive files to file systems that are not shared between the source and

the target system, or you arrange network access for appropriate archive file sharing.


1.5 Constraints

2012-03-14 PUBLIC 7/116




http://service.sap.com/slo

● The system copy is done to replace a productive system with a new productive system (for

example, hardware migration), assuming that the target system did not exist before and the

source system's operation is discontinued after the system copy.

You must not change the system ID during system copy, but arrange for file access and/or

ArchiveLink/CMS connectivity.

In all other cases, contact SAP SLO at http://service.sap.com/slo or

[email protected].

■ When you perform a system copy, all software units or usage types in the source system are copied

to the target system. This means that none of the usage types in the target system can be excluded

from the system copy, nor can you select usage types.

■ Dos and Don'ts for system copy:

● Do:

◆ Save configuration data and runtime data in the Java database only. If saving this data to

the file system level is unavoidable, you must use the Software Deployment Manager

(SDM) to save the data.

◆ Follow the Open SQL standard.

◆ Make sure that all communication runs through the database pool.

● Don't:

◆ Save any system and infrastructure-specific data in business objects. Use a pointer to the

central storage of such information, for example:

▶ SAP SystemID and SID (SAPSID =SID=system name)

▶ Host name

▶ IP addresses

▶ Services and ports

▶ Logical destinations and logical system names

▶ Other technical infrastructure names

◆ Use file system persistency.

◆ Set up dependencies between Java and ABAP.

2 Planning

This section describes how to plan your system copy.

You can use the system copy for:

■ Setting up system landscapes (where the SAP systems have different SAPSIDs).

■ Creating systems for testing, demonstration, training, and standby. Depending on the purpose of

the system, it might be advisable to use the same SAP system ID, even though this prevents you

from including the system in a system group for transports.

Only valid for: Oracle |

NOTE

You cannot create standby systems with a system copy.

End of: Oracle |

NOTE

You should perform upgrades in a test system first. This allows you to identify customer-

specific problems that might result from modifications.

NOTE

You can set up the SAP system infrastructure (development, quality assurance, and production

system) without making a system copy as follows:

■ Install all SAP systems, starting with the development system. Customize the development

system as described in the implementation documentation.

■ Transport the client-dependent and client-independent data to the quality assurance and

production systems.

However, if you do not follow this concept, you can also install a system, customize it, and then

perform a system copy.

When copying a system that contains production data choose the right time for the copy. This could

be a month-end or year-end closing.

CAUTION

Do not use NFS-mounted file systems because writing to NFS-mounted file systems might cause

corrupted dumps.

Required Documentation

■ Read the following SAP Note for up-to-date information:

2012-03-14 PUBLIC 9/116

SAP Note 1317500 (Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0

including Enhancement Package 1 Support Release 1)

■ The documentation System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package

1 Support Release 1 only describes the export of the source system in detail.

■ For the installation of the target system, you also need the installation guide for your SAP

application. Installation guides are available at http://service.sap.com/instguides .

Required DVDs, Tools, and Other Software

Make sure that all required DVDs for the system copy are available:

■ Required DVDs

● Installation Master DVD

NOTE

The DVD names are abbreviated.

You can find the full names of all media shipped with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP 1 SR 1 in the

appropriate Media List for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP 1 SR 11 at: http://service.sap.com/

installNW70 Installation Installation – SAP NetWeaver Systems Media List – SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP

1 Support Release 1 .

■ Order the right version of the installation kit before starting the system copy.

Make sure that the versions of the SAP system and the installation tools are the same on the target

and source systems. Exceptions are only allowed if they are described in an SAP Note.

NOTE

You can operate several SAP systems on a single host without encountering any problems.

Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a separate host for each system because an SAP

system upgrade might depend on an OS upgrade. If the SAP systems are on separate hosts,

you can upgrade them at different times.

CAUTION

The source system must be in a consistent state before you can copy it.

■ Check that you have the appropriate tool versions for your SAP kernel.

■ For a heterogeneous system copy, you need to get a migration key by generating it at http://

service.sap.com/migrationkey.

Creating A System Copy Plan

Create a plan to perform the system copy.

1. Consider the downtime of the source system (for preparations and copying) when planning the

system copy.

2. Perform a test run of the system copy. You can use the time taken by the test run to calculate the

system downtime:

10/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14



http://service.sap.com/installNW70

http://service.sap.com/installNW70

http://service.sap.com/migrationkey


■ If your target system will replace your source system, try to perform a complete test run. This

means that the entire database is exported from the source system, transferred to the target

system, and imported there. System downtime is approximately equal to the total test time

(that is, time for export, transport, and import).

■ If you do not want to replace your source system, a partial test run (export of the entire database

or parts of it) can be sufficient to calculate the system downtime. The source system is only

down for the time of the export.

Calculating the system downtime is particularly important for very large databases (VLDB)

or when tapes are being used. The test run is also to determine the amount of export data.

Choose the best data transfer method (for example, FTP or tape). We recommend that you

only perform read/write actions on local file systems.

3. Define a schedule for the test migration and the final migration.

Miscellaneous

■ In the event of a major change in hardware configuration (for example, new machine type,

new hard disk configuration, new file system type), consult your SAP-authorized hardware

partner.

■ Decide which system copy procedure you want to use:

● The database-independent procedure using SAP tools.

Use this method if database-specific methods are either not available or not suitable. For more

information, see Database-Independent System Copy [page 21].

● The database-specific procedure using tools provided by the database vendor

Some database vendors offer specific tools for copying a database. These tools allow you to:

◆ Restore a backup of one database (source database) in another one (target database)

(backup method)

◆ Unload the source database and load the data into the target database

For more information, see Database-Specific System Copy [page 53].

These methods are not supported for all database systems. Refer to the following table to check

which copy methods are available for your database system:

3 Preparations

Before you start the system copy, you must perform the following preparation steps:

3.1 General Technical Preparations

Procedure

To make a consistent copy of the database, you need to prepare the source system and perform some

subsequent actions on the target system. This is not necessary when performing a test run.

The following describes important preparations. For more information about SAP system

administration, refer to the SAP Online Documentation.

■ Before you start a system copy, check the minimum kernel patch level required by the support

package level of the source system. It might be necessary to replace the SAP kernel delivered with

the kernel DVD of the installation kit and installed during the installation of the target system

with a newer kernel patch level before starting the target system. If you have to replace the delivered

SAP kernel, you can do this after the installation of the central instance.

■ Before you start the export on your source system, check that your JAVA_HOME environment

points to a valid JDK version.

■ No canceled or pending update requests should be in the system. Check this by choosing Tools

Administration Monitor Update (transaction SM13).

If canceled or pending updates exist, you must update these again or delete them from all clients.

You can find out whether canceled or pending updates exist by checking if table VBDATA contains

any entries.

Find the canceled or open updates as follows:

1. Call transaction SM13.

2. Delete the default values for the client, user, and time.

3. Choose all update requests.

If canceled or pending records exist, you must update these again or delete them. Check

whether this action was successful using transaction SE16 for table VBDATA.

■ Set all released jobs from Released to Scheduled:

Tools CCMS Background Processing Jobs - Overview and Administration (transaction SM37)

You also need to do this for jobs that must run periodically (see SAP Note 16083). Select all jobs

(include start after event) as follows:

Job Released Scheduled

2012-03-14 PUBLIC 15/116


■ Adapt the operation mode timetable to make sure that no switching of operating modes takes

place while a system is being copied as follows:

Tools CCMS Configuration Operation mode calendar (transaction SM63)

■ Write down the logical system names of all clients:

1. If you plan to overwrite an existing system with a system copy (for example, the source and

target systems will both exist after the system copy), make sure you write down the logical

system names of all clients in the system that will be overwritten (transaction SCC4).

As the logical system names will be overwritten, in the event of differences you must change

them back to their original names (as they existed in the system that is overwritten) in the

follow-on actions after the system copy.

2. If you create a new system with a system copy (that is, create an upgrade test system), make

sure that the logical naming strategy for this new system is consistent with your existing logical

system naming convention. If you are still planning your BI (formerly BW) system landscape,

see SAP Note 184447.

3. If your system copy is used to replace hardware for the DB server, migrate to a different database

system or operating system (that is, source system for the copy is the same as the copy target),

no changes to logical system names are required.

■ Before the export, delete QCM tables from your system as follows:

1. Before deleting you must always check

● That the tables are consistent – no restart log or conversion procedure termination must

be displayed

● That the data of the original table can be read

● That application programs that use the affected original table run correctly.

2. Call transaction SE14.

3. Choose Extras Invalid temp. table

All QCM tables that can be deleted are displayed.

4. Mark the tables and delete them.

■ FI customers: You can perform an additional consistency check by running the job SAPF190 before

copying the source system, as well as after copying the target system, and then compare the results.

Make sure that no customer data is changed in the meantime. You can do this as follows:

Accounting Financial Accounting General ledger Periodic Processing Closing Check/count

Comparison

■ FI customers: You can further check consistency by running the jobs listed below before copying

the source system, as well as after copying the target system, and then compare the results.

CAUTION

Make sure that no customer data is changed in the meantime.

● RFUMSV00 (tax on sales/purchases)

● RAGITT01 (asset history sheet)

3 Preparations


16/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14


● RAZUGA01 (asset acquisitions)

● RAABGA01 (fixed asset retirements)

■ CO customers: You can perform an additional consistency check by running the report group

1SIP before copying the source system, as well as after copying the target system, and then compare

the results. Make sure that no customer data is changed in the meantime.

CAUTION

Prerequisites for an export:

Before performing an export, make sure that no incremental conversion is in progress.

To test if an incremental conversion is in progress, run transaction ICNV. If there are any table

entries in table TICNV, an incremental conversion is in progress. In this case, you have the

following options:

1. Defer the migration until the incremental conversion has finished.

2. Try to finish the incremental conversion by performing the following steps:

● If the tables are in state For conversion or in state Done, delete the entries by choosing Control

Delete Entry .

● If the tables are in any other state, you have to finish the incremental conversion. Choose

Assistant and proceed according to the online documentation.

CAUTION

Heterogeneous System Copy only:

Before you start the export of your source system, make sure that the tables TATGPC and

TATGPCA are empty. To do so, use your database utility and delete the contents of these tables

with the following statements:

DELETE from TATGPC

DELETE from TATGPCA

Normally both tables are empty. If you do not delete the contents of these tables, you will

encounter problems while importing the data to your target system because of non NULL

capable fields in these tables.

4 Database Independent System Copy

With the SAP installation tool SAPinst, you can export and import your database in a database-

independent format. SAPinst uses the R3load tool.

R3load generates a database export of all SAP objects that are defined in the ABAP Dictionary and

archives the configuration and components in the file system.

NOTE

Only valid for: IBM i5/OS |

On IBM i the database tools only export into the integrated file system (IFS). Although, the SAPinst

for IBM i runs on Windows it is not possible to export into the file system on Windows.End of: IBM i5/OS |

Constraints

R3load and Jload Restrictions

■ SAPinst generates a database dump of all SAP objects that are defined in the ABAP Dictionary

(R3load). Other objects are not exported by SAPinst.

■ For a consistent database the SAP system must be shut down (excluding the database!). The database

must still be running.

■ R3load only: Changes to database objects that cannot be maintained in the ABAP Dictionary

(transaction SE14), such as the distribution of tables over several tablespaces or dbspaces, are

lost after the system copy.

■ R3load only: Indexes longer than 18 characters are not allowed on the database to be exported.

System Copy Tools

■ Every installation service (dialog instance installation, for example) must have its own separate

installation directory whenever you start SAPinst.

■ If the target system already exists and you do not plan to perform an MCOD installation,

delete the database on the target system before the import according to the corresponding

description in the Additional Information section of the installation documentation for your SAP

component.

If the database configuration of your database is stored in the file system, we recommend that you

back these configuration files up before deleting the database.

Splitting STR Files

■ During the standard system copy process, all tables of the SAP system are grouped into packages,

whereby all tables with the same data class belong to the same package. The processing unit for


2012-03-14 PUBLIC 21/116

one unload/load process is a package. The packages usually differ in the number and size of

contained tables, resulting in varying unload/load runtimes. The overall runtime can be reduced

by creating packages of the same size, that is, creating packages with a similar processing time. You

can achieve this by splitting the default packages (one package per data class) into more smaller

pieces.

■ There are several ways to split packages. For a detailed description of the options, refer to the F1

help about the parameters prompted on the Split STR Files screen while running SAPinst to export

the database. The options can be used separately or – when using the new Java based splitting tool

– together.

■ “Splitting of STR Files” is part of the “Advanced Export Parameters” and is disabled by default.

Using the splitting tool parameters selected by SAPinst is a good starting point if you select the

splitting option and you have not performed any tests yet.

CAUTION

If you want to split STR files by the size based option, you must first create the EXT files for

the target database system. You can find the EXT files in your export dump directory,

subdirectory DB/<DBTYPE>, for example DB/ORA.

If you do not have EXT files, then you can only split by providing tables via input file.

Process Flow

For UNIX, Windows, or IBM i, refer to System Copy Procedure [page 22].

4.1 System Copy Procedure

This section describes the system copy procedure using R3load.

Procedure

Process Flow on the Source System (Export)

4.2 Generating DDL Statements

To migrate nonstandard database objects, you need to generate DDL statements using the ABAP report

SMIGR_CREATE_DDL.

You must perform this procedure before starting SAPinst.

Procedure

1. Log on to the system as a system administrator in a productive client.

2. Call transaction SE38 and run the program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL.

3. Select the target database. Depending on the database manufacturer, you might need to select the

database version. The value help supports you in selecting the database version. You should only

enter a database version that is available in the value help.

4. Select Unicode Migration if you also wish to perform a Unicode system copy (from Unicode to Unicode)

or a Unicode conversion (from non-Unicode to Unicode).

5. Specify an empty working directory to which the files generated by the report are to be written.

6. If required, you can restrict the generation of DDL statements to specific table types or individual

tables.

7. Execute the program.

The DDL statements are generated and are written to the specified directory.


4.2 Generating DDL Statements

2012-03-14 PUBLIC 25/116

CAUTION

If no database-specific objects exist in the database, no SQL files will be generated. As long as

the report terminates with status successfully, this is not an error.

8. Before starting the export, the generated SQL files have to be copied from the specified directory

to the <instdir> directory of the export.

For additional database-specific information, see SAP Note 888210.

4.3 Preparation for Table Splitting

The R3ta tool processes large tables. Instead of exporting/importing one table with one R3load process,

the table is processed in, for example, 10 entities. Each entity can be processed by different R3load

processes. The advantages of splitting the tables are:

■ Large tables are processed in smaller packages. If the export or import of a table aborts with an

error, only the processing of the package where the error occurred has to be repeated and not for

the complete table.

■ The export and import of one table can be performed in parallel by starting several R3load processes

to work on some packages in parallel.

Prerequisites

■ The export and import have to be performed with the migration monitor when the table splitting

feature is used.

■ For the following databases, we recommend that you create an index on the column listed in the

hints file for the table you want to split before starting R3ta:

● DB2 for z/OS (Only create a temporary index if you want to perform an unsorted unload.)

● Oracle

For more information, see the paragraph Creating a Temporary Index.

Restrictions

■ Only tables that are described in the SAP dictionary can be split.

■ The following tables cannot be split:

● DDNTF

● DDNTF_CONV_UC

● DDNTT

● DDNTT_CONV_UC

● DDLOG (is never copied, but created empty in the target system)

6. Specify SAPSID, <sidadm> password, the file that contains the split information, the export

directory, and the number of parallel R3ta jobs.

CAUTION

The specified path to the export directory must not contain blanks!

7. Continue with Next.

CAUTION

When doing a code page conversion (non-Unicode → Unicode; 4102 ↔ 4103), make sure not

to use a WHERE condition with the PAGENO column included. If the PAGENO column is

included in the WHERE condition, repeat the table splitting - either with different splitting

parameters or by defining a suitable column for this table using the R3ta_hints.txt.

8. Check in the export directory <export dump directory>/ABAP/DATA if *.WHR files have been

created for all tables that are to be split.

If no *.WHR files could be produced for some of these tables, create fewer packages for these tables:

1. Create a new, empty installation directory.

2. Define a new, empty export dump directory <temporary dump directory>.

3. Run the Prepare Table Splitting service again and provide an input file that contains only the

missing tables with a lower number of packages for each defined table.

If the *.WHR files have been created for the missing tables, merge these results with the results from

the first Prepare Table Splitting run:



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 27/116


1. Copy the *.WHR files from <temporary dump directory>/ABAP/DATA to <export dump

directory>/ABAP/DATA.

2. Add the lines from <temporary dump directory>/ABAP/DATA/whr.txt to <export dump

directory>/ABAP/DATA/whr.txt.

9. If required, create the temporary index on the source system's tables to be split.


This is not required if you perform a database export using the Oracle-specific method with the

Oracle PL/SQL splitter.End of: Oracle |

For more information, see the paragraph Creating a Temporary Index.

Parallel data export of a table is supported by all database platforms but parallel data import is not. If

the target database platform does not support the parallel data import, the migration monitor has to

be configured so that the data import processes the packages sequentially. For more information, see

Processing Split Tables.

Using Hints

With the file R3ta_hints.txt, you can instruct R3ta to use specific columns of a table to create a WHERE

condition. The file has to be located in the directory in which you start R3ta.

With one line in the file R3ta_hints.txt, you specify the table name followed by one or more column

names, separated by a blank. The columns have to be part of the primary key of the table. These

specifications are used by R3ta to create the WHERE condition.

A file R3ta_hints.txt with column hints for several tables is delivered with the Installation Master

DVD. After the Table Splitting Preparation, make sure you select the Split predefined tables checkbox and add

the R3ta_hints.txt file in the Split STR Files dialog box. If you want to modify this file, copy it from the

directory <IM_OS>/COMMON/INSTALL to the installation directory and adapt it according to your

requirements as soon as the Parameter Summary dialog appears, and before starting the processing phase.

Creating a Temporary Index

IBM DB2 z/OS only: Create the corresponding temporary index on the database with database tools.

Only create a temporary index if you want to perform an unsorted unload. This is the case when you

If your source system is a non-Unicode system, the dbcodepage is 1100. If your source system is a

Unicode system, the dbcodepage is 4102 (big-endian) or 4103 (little-endian).

4.4 Preparing the Export

You can prepare the source system for the export using R3load and Jload, so as to enable parallel export/

import. For this purpose you need to create certain files.

The following steps are performed:

■ Creating the export directory structure

■ Creating database structure files (*.STR)

■ Updating database statistics (…)

■ Size calculation for the target database (*.EXT,DBSIZE.XML)

These export preparations are required, if:

■ You want to build up the target system to the point where the database load starts before the export

of the source system has finished.

■ Export and import processes should run in parallel during the system copy process.

Procedure

1. Run SAPinst to perform the Export Preparation service.

For more information, see Running SAPinst on UNIX or Windows to Perform the Export [page 31].

2. As soon as the export preparations have finished successfully, the complete export directory with

its structure and the generated files, which are required for building up the target system, have to

be transferred to the target host.

CAUTION

Make sure that the dump directory is not under the installation directory. or another

directory that contains installation information (such as the Installation Master DVD, the

Java DVD, or other export files).

Otherwise, SAPinst does not ask you to specify the export directory and automatically chooses

one that you may not want to use. In this case, SAPinst does not display the export directory

and you cannot change it.

You can choose one of the following methods:

■ Use the migration monitor with the FTP Copy option to transfer the files to the target instance.

■ Copy the export dump directory manually to the target host.

■ The export dump directory can be shared and thus made accessible on the target host.

In any case, make sure that the dump directory and its subdirectories and files are accessible for

user <sapsid>adm of the target system.

4.5.1 Running SAPinst on UNIX or Windows to Perform the Export

This procedure tells you how to run SAPinst to export the database of your SAP system. SAPinst includes

a SAPinst GUI and a GUI server, which both use Java.

This section describes a standard export where SAPinst, SAPinst GUI, and the GUI server are running

on the same host. If required, you can perform a remote system copy with SAPinst instead, where

SAPinst GUI is running on a separate host from SAPinst and the GUI server. For more information, see

Performing a Remote Installation with SAPinst [page 102].

Note the following about SAPinst:

■ When you start SAPinst, SAPinst GUI and the GUI server are also started. SAPinst GUI connects

to the GUI server using a secure SSL connection and the GUI server connects to SAPinst.

Only valid for: UNIX |

■ SAPinst normally creates the installation directory sapinst_instdir directly below the temporary

directory. SAPinst finds the temporary directory by checking the value of the environment

variables TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR. If no value is set for these variables, SAPinst uses /tmp as default

installation directory.

■ The SAPinst Self-Extractor extracts the SAPinst executables to the temporary directory. These

executables are deleted again after SAPinst has stopped running. If required, you can terminate

SAPinst and the SAPinst Self-Extractor by pressing Ctrl+C .End of: UNIX |

Only valid for: Windows |

■ SAPinst normally creates the installation directory sapinst_instdir, where it keeps its log files,

and which is located directly below the Program Files directory. If SAPinst is not able to create

sapinst_instdir directly below the Program Files directory, SAPinst tries to create

sapinst_instdir in the directory defined by the environment variable TEMP.

■ SAPinst creates a subdirectory for each installation service, called <sapinst_instdir>

\<installation_service>, which is located below %ProgramFiles%\sapinst_instdir.



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 31/116

■ The SAPinst Self-Extractor extracts the executables to a temporary directory (TEMP, TMP,

TMPDIR, or SystemRoot). These executables are deleted after SAPinst has stopped running.

Directories with the name sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx sometimes remain in the temporary

directory. You can safely delete them.

In the temporary directory, you can also find the SAPinst Self-Extractor log file dev_selfex.out,

which might be useful if an error occurs.End of: Windows |

CAUTION

If SAPinst cannot find a temporary directory, the installation terminates with the error

FCO-00058.

CAUTION

If you would rather create an installation directory manually, make sure that you create it

locally. Otherwise, you might experience problems when starting the SAP Java tools.


■ If you want to terminate SAPinst and the SAPinst Self-Extractor, do one of the following:

● Right-click the icon for the SAPinst output window located in the Windows tray and choose

Exit.

● Click the icon for the SAPinst output window located in the Windows tray and choose File

Exit .End of: Windows |

Prerequisites

CAUTION

Make sure that you shut down all SAP Application Servers before the export. The database must

still be running. Otherwise, the target system might be inconsistent.

■ Only valid for: UNIX |

You are logged on to your host as a user with the required rights and privileges that authorize you

to install the SAP system with the SAPinst tool. For more information, see Required User Authorization

for the Installation in your installation guide.End of: Windows |

■ Make the Master Installation DVD available.

■ You need at least 60 MB of free space in the installation directory for each ABAP installation option,

and at least 130 MB of free space in the installation directory for each Java installation option. In

addition, you need 60-200 MB free space for the SAPinst executables.



32/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14


If you cannot provide 200 MB free space in the temporary directory, you can set one of the

environment variables TEMP,TMP, or TMPDIR to another directory with 200 MB free space for the

SAPinst executables.End of: UNIX |

■ Only valid for: Windows |

Before starting the export steps on the central instance of the source system, make sure that you

have at least the same amount of disk space available in \\SAPLOC\<SAPSID>\<InstanceName>\SDM

\program as is used in \\SAPLOC\<SAPSID>\<InstanceName>\root\origin. During the export

some archives are written to the program subdirectories and SAPinst aborts if there is not enough

space.End of: Windows |


■ Before starting the export, make sure that you have at least the same amount of disk space available

Procedure

1. Start SAPinst from the SAP Installation Master DVD as follows:


Choose one of the following ways:

■ Using the default installation directory (recommended)

Enter the following commands:

cd <Installation_Master_DVD>/IM_<OS> ./sapinst

SAPinst creates a directory called sapinst_instdir, which is the current working directory

for your installation, below the temporary directory of your operating system.



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 33/116

CAUTION

Make sure that your current working directory is not an IM_<OS> directory belonging

to another operating system.

For example, the following causes an error:

$ cd /sapcd2/IM_HPUX_IA64

$ /sapcd2/IM_HPUX_PARISC/sapinst

To correct this, enter the following:

$ cd /sapcd2/IM_HPUX_PARISC

$ /sapcd2/IM_HPUX_PARISC/sapinst

CAUTION

Make sure that your operating system does not delete the contents of the temporary

directory /tmp or the contents of the directories to which the variables TEMP, TMP, or

TMPDIR point, for example, by using a crontab entry.

■ Using an alternative installation directory

If you want to use an alternative installation directory, set the environment variable TEMP,

TMP, or TMPDIR.End of: UNIX |


NOTE

■ If you use virtual host names for the primary application server or the database instance

or both (for example, in a high availability environment), start the export with the

property SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.

■ During the installation, the default ports 21200 and 21212 are used for communication

between SAPinst, GUI server, and SAPinst GUI. SAPinst uses port 21200 to communicate

with the GUI server. The GUI server uses port 21212 to communicate with SAPinst GUI.

You get an error message if one of these ports is already in use by another service.

In this case, you must execute SAPinst using the following parameters:

SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_sapinst_to_gui_server>

GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_gui_server_to_sapinst_gui>

■ To get a list of all available SAPinst properties, start SAPinst as described above with the

option –p: ./sapinst —p.

End of: UNIX |


■ Double-click sapinst.exe from the following path:

<DVD_drive>:\IM_WINDOWS_<platform>

SAPinst GUI normally starts automatically by displaying the Welcome screen.

However, if there is only one component to install, SAPinst directly displays the first input

dialog without presenting the Welcome screen.



34/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

NOTE

● If you use virtual host names for the primary application server or the database

instance or both (for example, in a high availability environment), start the export

with the property SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.

● During installation, the default ports 21200 and 21212 are used for communication

between SAPinst, GUI server, and SAPinst GUI. SAPinst uses port 21200 to

communicate with the GUI server. The GUI server uses port 21212 to communicate

with SAPinst GUI. You get an error message if one of these ports is already in use by

another service.

In this case, open a command prompt and change to the required directory as

follows:

<DVD drive>:\IM_WINDOWS_<platform>

Enter the following command in a single line:

sapinst.exe

SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_sapinst_gui_to_gui_server>

GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_gui_server_to_sapinst_gui>

● To get a list of all available SAPinst properties, go to the directory (%TEMP%

\sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx), after you have started SAPinst, and enter the

following command: sapinst —p.End of: Windows |

2. On the Welcome screen, choose Software Life-Cycle Options System Copy <database> Source System

<Distribution option> Based on <technical stack> .

3. Select the corresponding system copy option from the tree structure, according to the sequence

of the process flow for the database-specific or the database-independent system copy procedure.

For more information, see Database-Specific System Copy procedure [page 53] or Database-Independent System

Copy [page 21].

NOTE


Mandatory step for database-independent system copy procedure. SAPinst performs the following steps: ■ Creates the export directory structure ■ Creates database structure files (*.STR) ■ Updates database statistics (…) ■ Calculates the size of the target database

(*.EXT,DBSIZE.XML) ■ Exports the ABAP database content

4. After you have selected the required option, choose Next.

NOTE

If you generated SQL files with DDL statements (see Generating DDL Statements [page 25]), copy

the generated files into the SAPinst installation directory as soon as it has been created by

SAPinst. The installation directory is as soon as the first input screen appears.

5. Follow the instructions in the SAPinst input dialogs and enter the required parameters.

CAUTION

You must choose Typical when performing a system copy with database tools.

NOTE

For more information about input parameters in SAPinst, position the cursor on the

parameter field and choose F1 .

6. Database-specific procedures only: On the SAP System > Database Export screen, choose System Copy

Method Use database specific tools .

After you have entered all required input parameters, SAPinst starts the export and displays the progress

during the processing phase.

Troubleshooting

If an export process aborts due to a hardware failure (for example, file system full, power outage,

operating system crash), you have to repeat the export of the complete package. Remove the dump

files <package>.<nnn>, the TOC file <package>.TOC, the log file <package>.log and make sure that

all tables in the TSK file <package>.*TSK* have the status flag 'xeq' or 'err' set.

■ If there is not enough disk space in the export directory, the R3load database export fails. You can

then find error messages in the log files SAP*.log.



36/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

You can then move the dump files that have been created from the file system in which the export

directory is located to a different file system during the export. It is currently not possible to

distribute the export over different file systems automatically.

■ If an error occurs during the dialog phase, SAPinst:

● Stops the export.

● Displays a dialog that informs you about the error.

You can now view the log file directly by choosing View Logs.

Finally, you have to abort the export with OK and try to solve the problem.

■ If an error occurs during the processing phase, SAPinst:

● Stops the export.


You can now:

● View the log file directly by choosing View Logs.

● Try to solve the problem.

● Continue the export by choosing Retry.

● Abort the export by choosing OK.


■ System Copy - export on UNIX (especially for upgraded systems)

Symptom:

Processes started as <sid>adm or ora<sid> OS users cannot create or open files in the installation

directory.

Reason:

Only members of sapinst UNIX group can access the installation directory.

This group is created by SAPinst as of NW 7.0 SR1.

Solution:

Manually associate <sid>adm and ora<sid> OS users with sapinst group if this association is

missing.

Verify the /etc/group file and check if the sapinst group exists and OS users are members of this

group.

If the sapinst group does not exist yet, start SAPinst. SAPinst will create this group during startup

before the product catalog list is displayed.

Edit /etc/group file and associate OS users with sapinst group.

Continue with the export.End of: UNIX |

4.5.2 Running SAPinst on IBM i to Perform the Export

4.5.2.1 Preparing the Windows Host for the SAP System Installation

The Java-based SAPinst graphical user interface (SAPinst GUI) requires a Java Development Kit (Java™

2 SDK, Standard Edition) with graphical capabilities (AWT, Swing). Since IBM i does not provide a

graphical user interface, you must install the JDK on a Windows host to perform the installation with

SAPinst.

Prerequisites

To prepare the system for SAPinst and SAPinst GUI you need to do the following:

■ Necessary operating system versions: Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/7/2008

■ Check your Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on the host where SAPinst GUI runs, because the

JRE cannot be integrated into the SAPinst GUI executable for all platforms due to licensing issues.

■ Set the system path if you install on Windows.

Procedure

The SAP J2EE Engine requires a Java Development Kit (Java™ 2 SDK, Standard Edition). Therefore,

make sure a valid JDK version is installed on every host on which you want to install an SAP instance

including the SAP J2EE Engine.

For more information about the JDK versions that are released for the SAP Web Application Server,

SAP components based on SAP Web AS and the SAP J2EE Engine, see http://service.sap.com/

platforms Product Availability Matrix SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver '04 JSE Platforms

NOTE

■ JDK is not part of the SAP shipment. If necessary, you need to download and install it.

■ To check the version of an already installed JDK, enter:

java -version

■ If you have more than one Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed on your system (for example,

you have two JDKs with different versions installed), make sure that the JAVA_HOME

environment variable is set to the valid <JAVA_HOME> directory. Make sure that %JAVA_HOME%

\bin is included in your system path.

4.5.2.2 Preparing a Windows User Account and IBM i User Profile

For the installation you need to create a user account on your Windows installation host and a user

profile on the IBM i you want to install.

The following requirements apply:

■ The IBM i user profile and the Windows user account must have the same name and password.

■ Only valid for: SAP CRM;SAP ERP;SAP NetWeaver;SAP Solution Manager;SAP SRM |

The IBM i user profile must have user class *SECOFR and all special authorities that belong to user

QSECOFR.End of: SAP CRM;SAP ERP;SAP NetWeaver;SAP Solution Manager;SAP SRM |

■ Only valid for: SAP SCM |

The IBM i user profile must be the user QSECOFR.

NOTE

This is different to other installations on IBM i. For other installations, we recommended that

you create user SAPIUSR. However for SCM, you need to use the user QSECOFR because the

liveCache client software has to be installed by this special user.

End of: SAP SCM |

■ The Windows user account must have administrator rights on the Windows installation host.

ProcedureOnly valid for: SAP CRM;SAP ERP;SAP NetWeaver;SAP Solution Manager;SAP SRM |

NOTE

The user name SAPIUSR and the password SAP are used as examples in the procedures. In former

installation documentation, we used the user SAPINST. However, in future releases SAP has

introduced a group called SAPINST on IBM i, which conflicts with the previously recommended

user SAPINST.

CAUTION

You should not set the system variable QIBM_PASE_CCSID. Do not leave this variable empty. Make

sure that QIBM_PASE_CCSID is deleted at least for the time while you are installing your SAP

system using the following command:

RMVENVVAR ENVVAR (QIBM_PASE_CCSID) LEVEL(*SYS)



4.5.2.3 Installing TMKSVR and Creating an Installation Share

The TMKSVR is the interface between IBM i and Windows for the installation with SAPinst. SAPinst is

running on Windows, but has to install the product on IBM i. This means that all actions required for

IBM i are initiated remotely on Windows but executed locally using the TMKSVR. The communication

is done using TCP/IP.



40/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

In addition, an installation share on the IBM i host needs to be created and mapped to the Windows

installation host, which is done automatically by the TMKSVR.

The TMKSVR has to be installed and an installation share has to be created on all IBM i hosts where

instances of an SAP system should be installed.

Prerequisites

■ An FTP server running on IBM i

■ You must prepare a user. For more information about how users are prepared, see Preparing a Windows

User Account and IBM i User Profile [page 39].

■ The Installation Master DVD must be inserted in the DVD drive of your Windows installation host.

■ If you have downloaded the DVDs from SAP Service Marketplace, the downloaded Installation Master

DVD must be available on your Windows installation host.

■ Make sure there is no environment variable LANG at system level defining a LOCALE on your IBM i

host where you want to install your SAP system. To check the environment variables at system

level use the following command: WRKENVVAR LEVEL(*SYS)

Otherwise, code page problems might prevent TMKSVR processes from starting. To remove the

environment variable LANG from your environment on your IBM i host use the following

command: RMVENVVAR ENVVAR(LANG) LEVEL(*SYS)

After a successful SAP system installation you can set the variable again.

Procedure

1. Log on to your Windows installation host as the installation user. For more information, see Preparing

a Windows User Account and IBM i User Profile [page 39].

Only valid for: SAP CRM;SAP ERP;SAP NetWeaver;SAP SRM |

NOTE

This user must have the same user ID and password as the installation user that you are using

for the installation on IBM i (a user with administrator rights similar to QSECOFR). Make sure

that the installation user on IBM i has a user profile with a parameter LOCALE set to *NONE. To

check the user profile, use the following command:

DSPUSRPRF USRPRF(<installation user>)

End of: SAP CRM;SAP ERP;SAP NetWeaver;SAP SRM |


NOTE

This user must have the same user ID and password as the user that you are using for the

installation on IBM i. For SCM, this user must be QSECOFR).

End of: SAP SCM |

2. Run SETUP.EXE from the directory IM_OS400_PPC64\TMKSVR on the Installation Master DVD

containing the installation package. You can start the setup program by double-clicking on it in

the Windows Explorer.

■ TMKSVR Instance Port (also referred to as the Dispatcher Port):

Leave the value at 59975, if possible. Only change this port number if you encounter problems

during installation because the port is in use.

Result

The installation uses FTP to install and starts the TMKSVR on IBM i. During installation, a library named

TMKSVR<nn> is created, with <nn> being the instance number (for example, TMKSVR00).

A NetServer share named ROOTBIN is created on the IBM i host. You can map the share now to your

Windows PC or let SAPinst map it during the installation.

For more information, see the documentation INSTALL.PDF on the Installation Master DVD in directory

IM_OS400_PPC64\TMKSVR.

For example, if package processing failed and the package state has the value –, the state can be

set to 0 and processing of the package is restarted.

Procedure

■ To restart package processing, set the package state from – to 0.

■ To skip package processing, set the package state from 0 or – to +. (This is not recommended,

because it can cause inconsistent data files or database content.)

■ If the package is currently being processed (the package state is ?), then any manual modifications

to the package state are ignored.

■ Sockets only: You cannot restart processes.

Restarting R3load Processes Using the Socket Option

There are four possible situations where an R3load restart may be required.

First of all, you need to cancel the R3load process. If one of the corresponding R3load processes (export

or import) is still running, cancel it as well. Then restart SAPinst to continue with the system copy. To

continue with the system copy proceed as follows:

■ If both the import and the export are completed successfully, there is nothing to do.

■ If the export was completed successfully, but the import is canceled with errors, proceed as

follows:

● If the export was successful but the import was canceled when creating the index or the primary

key, set the status for export_state.properties from '+' to '0'.

● If the export was completed successfully but the import was canceled when loading the

table content, set the status

◆ for export_state.properties from '+' to '0'

◆ for the TSK file of the export from 'ok' to 'err'

■ If both the export and the import are canceled with errors, proceed as follows:

● If the errors in export and import relate to the same table, there is nothing to do.



48/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

● If the errors relate to different tables, set the status of the first object with errors (export as

well as import) in the TSK file and in the *state* file to 'err'.

EXAMPLE

Export Import

Table name Status Table name Status

TAB_1 ok TAB_1 ok

TAB_2 err TAB_2 ok

TAB_3 xeq TAB_3 err

TAB_4 xeq TAB_4 xeq

The first object with errors here is TAB_2 (export). That means that in the import TSK

file the status for TAB_2 must be set from 'ok' to 'err'. The entry in the *state* file also

must be set from '+' to '0'.

■ If the import is completed successfully, but the export was canceled with errors, you can set

the status in the export_state.properties from '-' to '+'.

5.1 Oracle-Specific Procedure

Purpose

In an SAP system environment, you can create a homogeneous copy of an Oracle database by copying

database files. This method is suitable for creating an exact copy of an existing database. The source of



54/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

the copy is a complete data backup of your source database. You can use an offline backup, an online

backup, or the file system of your source host.

You use SAPinst for the installation on the target system host as described in the installation

documentation for your SAP component. Only the SAPinst steps for setting up and loading the database

content are different.

Advantages

■ You can use existing offline or online backups.

■ This method is faster than the R3load and Jload method.

Disadvantages

■ Backup/copy of database files in a heterogeneous environment is not possible because the hardware

of the source and target systems must be binary-compatible.

■ Source system host and target system host must be different.

■ You must shut down the SAP system and the database when you create an offline backup manually

or an offline backup with BR*Tools.

■ You cannot change the database schema and the table space names.

Prerequisites

■ You must use the same Oracle release and patch level for your database in the source and target

system.

■ You must have prepared your system for SAPinst [page 17].

■ The classes12.jar must exist in the <ORACLE_HOME>/jdbc/lib directory (installed using a

standard Oracle installation).

■ If your source system is an ABAP only system, make sure that JRE version 1.4.1 or higher is installed

on the database instance.

■ The JAVA_HOME environment variable must point the JRE directory.

■ For security reasons, the source and target systems must run on different hosts.

■ The source and target systems must be binary compatible.

NOTE

Note that you can also perform a system copy from 32-bit systems to 64-bit systems and vice

versa (same operating system assumed) even if source and target system are not binary

compatible.

If your source system uses the US7ASCII character set, you must choose this character set when

installing the target system. SAPinst prompts for the character set during the installation (key: Database

Character Set). The installation default is WE8DEC or UTF8 for Unicode systems. To find out the

character set used by the source system, connect to the source database as user sap<schemaid> or

sapr3 with sqlplus and enter: SELECT * FROM V$NLS_PARAMETERS;



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 55/116

5.1.1 Generating the Control File Structure

The OraBRCopy Java tool writes a file CONTROL.SQL to the current working directory, which can be used

without further adaptations on the target system.

For more information about the OraBRCopy tool, see the documentation ORABRCopy.pdf, which is part

of the OraBRCOPY.SAR archive.

Prerequisites

RECOMMENDATION

We recommend that you shut down the SAP system before you perform the following steps. The

database must still be running.

Procedure

1. Create an installation directory <INSTDIR> (UNIX: with permissions 777) on the source system.

2. Copy the ORABRCOPY.SAR archive from the SAP Installation Master DVD to the installation directory

and extract it using SAPCAR.

You can find the archive in the following directory on the Installation Master DVD:


<DVD-DIR>:/COMMON/INSTALL/ORA/ORABRCOPY.SAR

End of: UNIX |


<DVD-DRIVE>:\COMMON\INSTALL\ORA\ORABRCOPY.SAR

End of: Windows |

3. Make sure that all redo log groups are archived

4. Start the OraBRCopy tool as an OS user with Oracle DBA privileges:

user ora<dbsid>

user <sapsid>adm

■ If you perform an offline manual copy, enter the following commands:

● On UNIX:

./ora_br_copy.sh –generateFiles –forceLogSwitches —targetSid

<TARGET_DBSID> —password <system's password> —listenerPort <listener port>

● On Windows:

ora_br_copy.bat –generateFiles –forceLogSwitches —targetSid <TARGET_DBSID>

—password <system's password> —listenerPort <listener port>

The tool creates the files CONTROL.SQL, CONTROL.TRC and init<targetSID>.ora in your

installation directory, shuts down and restarts the database and performs the required log

switches.

■ If you perform an offline or online backup using BR*Tools, enter the following commands:

● On UNIX:



56/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

./ora_br_copy.sh –generateFiles —targetSid <TARGET_DBSID> —password

<system's password> —listenerPort <listener port>

● On Windows:

ora_br_copy.bat –generateFiles —targetSid <TARGET_DBSID> —password

<system's password> —listenerPort <listener port>

NOTE

During the online backup, the database must be up and running. To ensure this, this

command must not contain the parameter —forceLogSwitches.

The tool creates the files CONTROL.SQL, CONTROL.TRC and init<targetSID>.ora in your

installation directory, and performs the required log switches.

NOTE

If an error occurs, check the log file:

<INSTDIR>/ora.brcopy.log

5. Verify and, if necessary, update the CONTROL.SQL control file using the CONTROL.TRC trace file as

follows.

Example for Windows

In the following example for Windows, entries of CONTROL.SQL written in bold should be compared to

the trace file:

manually or an offline or online backup with BR*Tools.

■ Creating an Offline Backup Manually [page 60]

■ Creating an Offline or Online Backup with BR*Tools [page 61]

5.1.2.1 Creating an Offline Backup Manually

Procedure

There are different possibilities to prepare the actual transfer of the database files:

■ If you have an up-to-date offline backup, you can use it (provided that redo logs were cleaned

up with forced log switches).

■ If you want to transport the database file (for example, on tape) or if you have to perform the

database shutdown at a certain time, stop the database (normal shutdown) and perform a complete

offline backup. You can use the trace file CONTROL.TRC created by OraBrCOPY to determine the file

system trees that have to be saved.

■ You stop the database (normal shutdown) and copy the database files when the actual transfer to

the target system takes place. You do not have to perform any preparations for the actual transfer

now. Proceed with the next step.



60/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

NOTE

If you choose this manual offline backup method, you also have to restore the database files

on the target system manually. For more information, see Restoring the Database Files on the Target

System Manually [page 64].

5.1.2.2 Creating an Offline or Online Backup with BR*Tools

You can use any backup strategy supported by BR*Tools as the basis for a system copy: offline or online,

with or without BACKINT, with or without RMAN, complete or incremental, and so on. The backup

strategy must simply be valid for restore and recovery. This means that a complete restore and recovery

of the source database must be possible. In addition for BACKINT and RMAN, the external backup

tools must be configured so that a restore is possible on the target host.

ProcedureProceed as described in the SAP Library at:

NOTE

If you choose a backup method with BR*Tools, you also have to restore the database files on the

target system with BR*Tools. For more information, see Restoring the Database Files on the Target System

with BR*Tools [page 64].

5.1.3 Preparing the Target System

PrerequisitesMake sure that sapdata<n> file systems on the target system host are large enough.

Procedure1. Install the target SAP system with SAPinst as described in the installation documentation for your

SAP solution.

CAUTION

On the Welcome screen, choose the required installation service:

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 1 Software Life-Cycle Options System Copy Oracle

Target System <Central System | Distributed System | High-Availability System> .

CAUTION

When you perform a system copy with the Oracle backup/restore method, you cannot change

the database schema and the table space names of the new target system. When installing the



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 61/116

target central instance, database instance, or dialog instance make sure that you enter the

correct database schema names (which are the database schema name of the source system).

The schema names of the source and target system must be identical.

2. After you have copied the database files, make sure that the files on the source and target system

are not located in different directories or drives. If required, make the corresponding changes in

the files control.sql and the init<DBSID>.ora.

3. Verify that the created directories and copied files have the owner ora<target_dbsid>, belong to

the group dba, and have the permissions 740.

4. Make sure that the control files are not restored. If necessary, remove them.

The file names are specified by the control_files parameter of the init<TARGET_DBSID>.ora file.

5.1.5 Restoring the Database Files on the Target System with BR*Tools

Procedure

1. Copy the following files from the source system host to the target system host by copying manually

the listed files from the source directories to the target directories.

■ On UNIX:



CONTROL.SQL



64/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14


source: <INSTDIR> target: /oracle/<DBSID>/<DB_VERSION>_<BIT>/dbs


■ On Windows:



CONTROL.SQL

source: <INSTDIR> target: \oracle\<DBSID>\<DB_VERSION>_<BIT>\database


2. Create an Oracle spfile from init<TARGET_DBSID>.ora profile as follows:

SYNTAX

sqlplus /nologconnect / as sysdbacreate spfile from pfile;exit

3. Call the restore and recovery function of BR*Tools.

For more information about the required steps and prerequisites, see SAP Note 1003028.

The main prerequisite is that the corresponding BR*Tools logs (BRBACKUP detailed and summary

log, BRARCHIVE summary log) are copied manually from the source to the target system. In addition,

the postprocessing steps mentioned in this SAP Note are performed automatically by SAPinst.

SAP Note 1003028 also comprises information about executing restore and recovery under the

control of BRRECOVER and the exact syntax of BRRECOVER (see section Homogeneous Database Copy).

End of: Oracle |

Only valid for: MaxDB |

5.2 SAP MaxDB-Specific Procedure

In an SAP system environment, you can create a homogeneous copy of an SAP MaxDB database by

using the backup and restore method. This method is suitable for creating an exact copy of an existing

database. The source of the copy is a complete data backup of your source database.

The SAPinst tool is used for the installation on the target system host as described in the installation

documentation for your SAP solution. In SAPinst you select the backup and restore method as the



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 65/116



database installation method. SAPinst stops before the database instance initialization and asks you to

perform the recovery on the target database. After you have performed recovery and post-recovery

activities you can continue the installation in SAPinst.

This description is not valid for the liveCache system copy.

Advantages

■ You can use existing offline backups.

■ This method is faster than the database-independent method using R3load or Jload [page 21].

Disadvantage

You can only copy between systems with the same byte order. For more information, see below.

Prerequisites

■ Byte order – little-endian or big-endian

You can use the backup and restore method to copy systems with the same byte order. That is,

you can copy a system based on little-endian to another system based on little-endian. You can

also copy a system based on big-endian to another system based on big-endian. Check SAP Note

552464 to find out which processor and operating system combination uses which byte order.

■ Data backup

You perform the complete data backup of your source database.

■ Recovery tool

You are using the SAP MaxDB Database Manager (DBMGUI) version 7.5.0 Build 12 or above.

You can find more information on DBMGUI here:

http://maxdb.sap.com/currentdoc/default.htm Tools Database Manager GUI

■ Database Software

The database software on the target host must have the same version as the software on the source

host. The build number of the software version on the target host must be greater than or equal

to the version on the source host.

■ Size of the data on the target system

The size of the target system must be greater than the used space on the source system. You can

find the size of the used pages on the source system as follows:

dbmcli —d <database_name> —u <dbm_user>,<password> —n <database_server> —u SQL

sap<sid>,<password> sql_execute 'SELECT USEDPERM FROM SERVERDBSTATISTICS'

The result of this query is the amount of used space, expressed as the number of 8 KB pages. To

calculate the used space in MB, divide this value by 128. When SAPinst prompts you, configure the

database data volumes according to this value.

■ JRE

You must have installed JRE version 1.5 or higher on your system.

The JAVA_HOME environment variable must point to the JRE directory.



66/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14


http://maxdb.sap.com/currentdoc/default.htm

Process

1. Do the following on the source system:

1. If you do not already have a suitable recent complete SAP MaxDB backup, create a complete

data backup using the DBMGUI tool:

DBMGUI Backup Backup Wizard Complete

2. Make the backup medium available on the target host.

2. Do the following on the target system:

1. To install the new system you start SAPinst as follows:

<SAP Product> Software Life-Cycle Options System Copy SAP MaxDB Target System <Central

System | Distributed System | High-Availability System> .

During the installation of the database instance, SAPinst stops in the Perform Database Recovery

screen before database initialization and asks you to perform the data recovery.

2. Start the data recovery wizard from DBMGUI

1. Register your database instance in the DBMGUI

2. Check that the database instance is in the admin state.

3. Choose Recovery Recovery with Initialization ...

4. In type of recovery, select Restore a medium.

5. Specify the backup medium.

6. Start the restore procedure.

NOTE

The recovery wizard does not start the recovery immediately. It initializes the database

instance first. It takes some time for the database server to format the database volumes.

3. After the restore, check the state of the target database instance and change the database state

to online if it is not already in online state.

4. Delete the entries from the following tables to make sure that information about the backup

history for update statistics in the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) from the

old system does not appear in the new system:

CNHIST, CNREPRT, CNMEDIA, DBSTATHADA, DBSTAIHADA, DBSTATIADA, DBSTATTADA,

SDBAADAUPD

5. Continue with SAPinst or restart it if you stopped it during the recovery.

6. After installation is complete, you maintain the database connection for CCMS. For more

information, see SAP Note 588515.End of: MaxDB |

5.3 MS SQL Server-Specific Procedure

This section describes how to perform a homogeneous system copy of an MS SQL Server database by

using the backup/restore method, or the detach/attach method in an SAP environment. The SAPinst

installation tool supports both methods.

The backup/restore method and the detach/attach method have the following advantages compared

to the R3load method:

■ You can use an existing backup.

■ These methods are much faster than the database-independent method [page 21].

NOTE

● For more information about the system copy procedure, see SAP Notes 193816 and

151603.

● With SQL Server, you can use backup images across the platforms I386, IA64, x64. That

is, you can make a backup on one type of platform and use it on another type.

● You can attach SQL Server 2000 files to SQL Server 2005 but not vice versa.

Process1. Detach the database files from the source system database or create a backup and copy the files to

the target system.

2. Attach the database files or restore the backup of the source database on the target database server.

3. Run SAPinst to install the target system by choosing the following on the Welcome screen:

<Your SAP system> Software Life-Cycle Options System Copy MS SQL Server Target System <system

variant> <technical stack>

NOTE

■ The target system is installed using the exports from the source system.

■ Choose the installation services in exactly the order they appear. For more information,

see the MS SQL Server installation guide for your SAP system at http://

service.sap.com/installnw70.

■ On the SAPinst screen SAP SystemDatabase, make sure that you select Homogeneous System

Copy (MS SQL Server-specific: Detach/Attach or Backup).End of: Windows | MS SQL Server |


5.4 IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows-Specific Procedures

The database-specific procedure for the creation of a system copy is based on a restore of an existing

online or offline backup. Therefore, this method is also referred to as backup/restore procedure. Since


5.3 MS SQL Server-Specific Procedure

68/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14



http://service.sap.com/installnw70


a DB2 backup can be used cross-platform within certain limitations (see below), this method is not

limited to the homogenous system copy only.

An SAP system copy with a DB2 database can be also created if more advanced techniques like file system

snapshots are available. The necessary procedure in this case is called database relocation. The database

relocation procedure differs significantly from the backup/restore procedure and is not described in

this guide.

For more information, see the Database Administration Guide: SAP on IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows,

section db2inidb Option: as snapshot.

SAPinst is used for installation on the target system host as described in the installation documentation

for your SAP component. Before starting SAPinst on the target system make sure that all prerequisites

for the SAP system installation are met. Especially, make sure that the relevant file systems are available.

For more information, see the appropriate installation guide at http://service.sap.com/

installnw70 Installation – SAP NetWeaver Systems

In an ABAP system, only the SAPinst steps for setting up and loading the database are replaced by a

database restore.

Advantages of the Backup Method

■ You can use existing online and offline backups.

■ Using the backup method is faster than the database-independent method [page 21].

Disadvantages of the Backup Method

■ You cannot change the name of the database schema. The name of the database schema will be

the same as that of the source system. This implies that the name of the database connect user does

not change either.

■ You cannot copy an individual MCOD component to another system. You can only copy the

complete system.

Prerequisites

■ It must be possible to restore the backup of the source system on the platform of the target system.

NOTE

With DB2, you can use backup images cross-platform within certain limitations. If you want

to use the backup/restore method between different platforms, you must follow the

additional instructions in SAP Note 628156.

For more information about cross-platform backups, also see Backup and restore operations between

different operating systems and hardware platforms in the IBM DB2 V9.1Information Center at http://

publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/ v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/

doc/c0005960.htm.

■ If errors occur when restoring the backup on the target system, the complete restore must be

repeated.



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 69/116




http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/c0005960.htm



Process

1. You perform an online or offline backup.

NOTE

If you use an online backup to copy your system, a roll forward of your database is required

after the database restore on the target system. As a prerequisite, the respective database logs must

be accessible. We therefore recommend that you include the necessary log files in the backup image.

To do so, use the INCLUDE LOGS option of the BACKUP DATABASE command. Note that as of DB2

V9.5, logs are by default included in an online backup.

2. To create a target system, run SAPinst on the target system host by choosing the following on the

Welcome screen:

<Your SAP system> Software Life-Cycle Options System Copy IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Target System Installation <system variant> <technical stack>

Perform the installation options in the given sequence and follow the instructions on the SAPinst

dialogs. SAPinst prompts you to perform the database restore during the installation phase.

CAUTION

Be aware of the following constraints when using the backup method for a homogeneous

system copy:

■ Since you cannot change the name of the database schema, you cannot change the

connect user either. During the dialog phase you have to make sure that you enter the

name of the connect user exactly as you did on your source system.

■ The tablespace names remain the same during the database restore. However, you can

change them after the installation.

■ If you want to change the name or the location of the DB2 container on the target system,

you have to adapt the DB2 container paths or names in the redirected restore script and

then perform a redirected restore. For more information, see the documentation Database

Administration Guide: SAP on IBM DB2 Universal Database for UNIX and Windows, section Usage of

Tool brdb6brt.

3. Multi-Partition Database Environments only: Add database partitions

If you copy a system with multiple database partitions, the target system must have the same

number of partitions as the source system. For more information, see Enabling database partitioning in

a database in the IBM DB2 V9.1 Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/

infocenter/db2luw/v9 /topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/t0004896.htm

4. Restore your database.

To restore your database, you can choose between one of the following options:

■ Simple database restore

To perform a database restore, use the DB2 RESTORE command. For more information, see the

IBM DB2 documentation DB2 Command Reference.



70/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/t0004896.htm

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/t0004896.htm

NOTE

With a simple restore, you cannot change the name or the location of DB2 containers.

■ Redirected restore

This is the recommended method.

A redirected restore allows you to change the name or the location of the DB2 container. To

perform a redirected restore, you use the DB2 RESTORE DATABASE command with the REDIRECT

GENERATE SCRIPT option. For more information, see RESTORE DATABASE command in the IBM

DB2 V9.1 Information Center at https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/

v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0001976.htm.

Alternatively, you can use the tool brdb6brt that retrieves a database backup and creates a

CLP script to restore this backup image. Since brdb6brt needs to connect to the source system,

the source system must be available. For more information about how to use the tool

brdb6brt, see Redirected Restore Using brdb6brt in the Database Administration Guide: SAP on IBM DB2

Universal Database for UNIX and Windows.

If you have used an online backup, you have to make sure that you have access to the log files that

were created during the online backup. You also have to perform a roll forward operation to bring

the database into a consistent state.

You can now continue with the installation.

5. To adhere to the SAP standard naming conventions for tablespaces, we recommend that you

consider renaming the tablespaces after the installation to reflect the new system name. To rename

a single tablespace, enter the following command:

db2 rename tablespace <old name> to <new name>

EXAMPLE

db2 rename tablespace <SAPSID_SOURCE>#STABD to <SAPSID_TARGET>#STABD

If you use the deferred table creation function, you also have to execute the following command

for each renamed tablespace using the db6util tool:

db6util -rtvt <old tbs> <new tbs>


CAUTION

Make sure that you use an up-to-date version of the db6util tool. You require at least a

version that supports the option -rtvt. To check the command options of the db6util tool,

enter the following command:

db6util –h

In addition, you have to update the tablespace names in tables TSDB6, IADB6, and TADB6. To

rename all tablespaces in the respective tables according to the standard naming conventions, use

the following commands:

■ For table TSDB6, enter the following SQL command:



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 71/116

https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0001976.htm

https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0001976.htm


update <connect_user_name>.tsdb6 set tabspace = '<SAPSID_TARGET>#'||substr

(tabspace,5,length(tabspace)-4), indspace='<SAPSID_TARGET>#'||substr(indspace,

5,length(indspace)-4)

■ For table IADB6, enter the following SQL command:

update <connect_user_name>.iadb6 set tabspace = '<SAPSID_TARGET>#'||substr

(tabspace,5,length(tabspace)-4)

■ For table TADB6, enter the following SQL command:

update <connect_user_name>.tadb6 set tabspace = '<SAPSID_TARGET>#'||substr

(tabspace,5,length(tabspace)-4)

Follow-up Activities

After the installation on the target system, you perform the following steps:

■ The tablespaces SYSTOOLSPACE and SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE are used by certain DB2 tools and SQL

administrative routines to store historical and configuration information. We recommend that

you drop and re-create these tablespaces in the target system as follows:

1. Log on to the database server of the target system as user db2<dbsid>.

2. Generate the DDL statements for the tablespaces of the system by entering the following

command on the DB2 command line:

db2look -d <DBSID> -l -o <filename>.sql

3. Drop both tablespaces by entering the following command:

db2 drop tablespace SYSTOOLSPACE, SYSTOOLTMPSPACE

4. Look up the CREATE TABLESPACE statements for SYSTOOLSPACE and SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE in

<filename>.sql.

5. Execute both statements on the DB2 command line.

For more information, see SYSTOOLSPACE and SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE tablespaces in the IBM DB2

V9.1 Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/ v9/topic/

com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/c0023713.htm.

■ If you performed a redirected restore, check all settings of the database manager and database

configuration parameters. Specifically, make sure that the following configuration parameters

point to the correct path:

● DIAGPATH (DBM)

● JDK_PATH (DBM)

● DFTDBPATH (DBM)

● Path to log files (DB)

● If set, NEWLOGPATH (DB), OVERFLOWLOGPATH (DB), FAILARCHPATH (DB) and MIRRORLOGPATH (DB)

■ TXCOM (transaction SM54)

■ THOST (transaction SM55)

28. Check the logical system names. For more information, see Preparations [page 15]. If you need to

change logical system names in the system that results from the copy, change the logical system

names at this time, as described in SAP Notes 103228 and 544509. Follow your corporate naming

strategy for logical systems when making this change.

BI customers: If you have copied a BI (formerly BW) system, read SAP Note 325525.

29. For every client in your SAP system check the detail settings (client role, changes and transports

for client-dependent objects, changes for client-independent objects, protection level, restrictions)

(transaction SCC4).

30. Check if you can delete clients that will no longer be used in the target system (transaction

SCC5).

31. Check the contexts and segments of remote application servers for the SAP Monitoring

Infrastructure if required (transaction RZ21).

32. Configure the domain controller in the Transport Management System (TMS) by using

transaction STMS.

33. Post-processing for customer objects:

If customer objects are not original in the new system, modify the corresponding entries in table

TADIR.

If you encounter problems modifying a customer development class using transaction SMTS or

SM31, try using the option Validate (ENTER) instead of the option Save to save your changes.

34. ABAP Program Loads

The ABAP loads are platform-dependent programs that are generated during runtime and stored

in database tables. They are not exported when you use the R3load procedure to copy your SAP

system. The ABAP loads are generated in the target system when they are first used. This might,

however, reduce production system performance. To avoid this, you can use transaction SGEN to

generate the missing loads.

Load generation requires a large amount of system resources. Therefore, it makes sense to schedule

the generation job to run overnight.

For a detailed description of the features, see the online documentation in transaction SGEN by

choosing Information on the SAP Load Generator, or in the Job Monitor by choosing Job Monitor.

SAP&POSTMGR. Program RS_BW_POST_MIGRATION performs necessary modifications on database-

specific objects (mainly BI objects).

NOTE

You are required to perform the step independent of whether your target system is a BI or

not.

Checking the Target System

The following actions are suitable for checking the consistency of the target system:

1. Perform initial consistency check (transaction SM28).

2. Check the system log on all application servers (transaction SM21).

3. Check the consistency of the database (transaction DB02).

4. Perform server check (transaction SM51).

5. Test transactions frequently used by the customer.

6. FI customers: Run the job SAPF190 (accounting reconciliation) and compare the results to those

gained on the source system before the system copy ( Accounting Financial Accounting General ledger

Periodic Processing Closing Check/count Comparison ).

7. FI customers: Run the jobs RFUMSV00 (tax on sales/purchases), RAGITT01 (asset history sheet),

RAZUGA01 (asset acquisitions), andRAABGA01 (fixed asset retirements) and compare the results to

those gained on the source system before the system copy.

8. CO customers: Run the report group 1SIP and compare the results to those gained on the source

system before the system copy.

Replacing the PSEs in the Target System

Replace all existing PSEs in the target systems with new ones, which contain the new system's

information. Proceed as follows:

1. In your ABAP system, call transaction STRUST.

2. Proceed as described in the documentation Creating or Replacing a PSE in the SAP Library at:


SAP NetWeaver Library SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability Security System Security System Security for

SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP only Trust Manager .

NOTE

■ Since replacing a PSE will remove all of the previously used certificates, also import all

necessary trusted certificates into the new PSE's certificate list. (Check the old PSE's

certificate list.) Also distribute the new PSE's public-key certificate to the systems where

it will be used.

■ Make sure the new PSE contains the new system ID.

■ Note the naming conventions to use for each PSE. The naming conventions are usually

specified by the Certification Authority (CA) where you obtain the certificate, however,

the type of PSE also has some restrictions, for example, for the SSL server PSE, the CN



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 79/116


part of the Distinguished Name must be the host name used to access the server. For the

system PSE, we recommend using the SID as the CN part.

Therefore, make sure that the Distinguished Name used for the PSE conforms with the

naming convention that applies.

6.2.2 Performing Jobhead Correction after Homogeneous System Copy

NOTE

This section is only relevant for customers using CCMS to monitor their SAP system(s).

After copying your system, the CCMS jobhead still points to the former database SSID. In order to

complete the homogeneous system copy, the SSID needs to be set to the target system.

7 Additional Information

7.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor

Purpose

The Migration Monitor is a tool that helps you to perform and control the unload and load process

during the system copy procedure. As of SAP NetWeaver 04 SR1, the Migration Monitor is integrated

into the SAPinst system copy tool, but you can also use the Migration Monitor to copy previous releases

by starting it manually.

The Migration Monitor

■ creates R3load command files.

■ creates R3load task files if required.

■ starts R3load processes to unload the data.

■ transfers packages from the source to the target host if required.

■ starts R3load processes to load the data as soon as a package is available.

■ informs the person performing the system copy in the case of errors.

The Migration Monitor has to be started on the source database host (export monitor) and on the

target database host (import monitor).

CAUTION

If you want to convert a non-Unicode system to a Unicode using the socket option, you need an

R3load version with a specific patch level. For more information, see SAP Note

1238351.

Prerequisites

■ JRE version 1.4.1 or higher

■ The JAVA_HOME environment variable must point to the JRE directory.

■ The correct directory structure for R3load dump files must exist on both the source and target

hosts.

7.1.1 Configuration

Help

The tool displays all parameters available if you call it with one of the following options:

■ -help

■ -?

7.1.2 Assigning DDL Files to Packages

It is possible to use several different DDL*.TPL templates during the export or import. The assignment

of a specific DDL file to a single package is done within a simple text file, which then has to be specified



88/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

using the ddlMap option within the migration monitor's properties file. Packages not listed in the DDL

mapping file use the default DDL control file.

Procedure

Example of a DDL mapping file:

# DDL mapping file ddl_mapping.txt

# !!! line with [GROUP_NAME] can be skipped

# used for documentation purposes only

[ SORTED UNLOAD ]

# DDL file for sorted unload

ddlFile = /export_dump/ABAP/DB/ORA/DDLORA.TPL

# package names

SAPAPPL0

SAPAPPL1

SAPSDIC

[ UNSORTED UNLOAD ]

DDL file for unsorted unload

ddlFile = ./DDLORA_LRG.TPL

# table names

TABLE_A

TABLE_B

TABLE_C

7.1.3 Defining Groups of Packages

The “package group” feature is an enhancement to defining a package order. By defining groups, you

can prevent certain packages being executed in parallel and you can define how many large tables are

exported or imported at the same time. In addition, you can specify different values for the parameters

jobNum and taskArgs or loadArgs for each package. Package groups can be defined in the same text

file in which the package order can be defined (see parameter orderBy). The previous package order

format is also fully supported.

A group starts with any arbitrary name in brackets and ends when the next group starts.

If package groups are defined, the maximum number of parallel R3load jobs is the sum of jobNum of

all packages. All packages without a package group will be assigned to a “default group” with the number

of jobs that was defined in the Migration Monitor's properties file.

Procedure

Example of a package order file with group:

# custom package order



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 89/116

# package names

SAPAPPL2

# package group

[ SEQUENTIAL GROUP ]

# table names

TABLE_B

TABLE_C

7.1.4 Processing Split Tables

If tables have been split during the export, ensure before the import starts that the table exists and that

the primary key and the indexes are created before or after (as defined in the DDL template) the table

data has been imported. These tasks will automatically be synchronized by the Migration Monitor.

WHR files are part of the package and have to be copied to the DATA export subdirectory to make sure

that the same WHR file is used for the export and import of the corresponding package.

The following database platforms do not support parallel data import:

■ IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

■ MS SQL

You can ensure this by using the Defining Groups of Packages [page 89] feature.

Procedure

Example: Target Database Does Not Support Parallel Data Import

During the export you have split the table MY_FIRST_TABLE into 3 packages and MY_SECOND_TABLE into

5 packages. You now want to run a maximum of 10 R3load processes for parallel data import.

Create the file inputFile.txt with the following content:

[ MY_FIRST_TABLE ]

jobNum = 1

MY_FIRST_TABLE-1

MY_FIRST_TABLE-2

MY_FIRST_TABLE-3

[ MY_SECOND_TABLE ]

jobNum = 1

MY_SECOND_TABLE-1

MY_SECOND_TABLE-2



90/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

MY_SECOND_TABLE-3

MY_SECOND_TABLE-4

MY_SECOND_TABLE-5

In this file, you can also define the processing order of packages or you can assign DDL files to packages.

The inputFile.txt file has to be specified as a value for the Migration Monitor parameter orderBy.

An R3load job is started for every group (MY_FIRST_TABLE and MY_SECOND_TABLE). The number of

parallel R3load jobs will be the total of the number of R3load jobs of each group plus the number of

R3load jobs defined for the default group (which is made up of all packages without an explicit group

name) defined by the parameter jobNum.

In this example, the parameter jobNum in the import_monitor_cmd.properties file has to be set to 8

to ensure that no more than 10 R3load processes run in parallel.

Re-Starting the Import of a Split Table Package

If the import of a package fails, the rows that belong to this package have to be deleted using the

WHERE condition assigned to this package before the data import is started again. The deletion with a

WHERE clause can be very time consuming, therefore it is faster to delete all rows of the corresponding

table manually and reimport all packages instead.

Restart for all other database platforms:

1. Eliminate the reason for the failure of the import of the packages.

2. Manually delete all rows of the table for which the import of one or more packages failed.

3. Remove the TSK files of all packages that import data into this table (<table name>-

<counter>__TPI.TSK). Do not remove the TSK files that create either the table or the indexes for

this table.

4. Adapt the file import_state.properties in the installation directory. Replace the status “+” of

all packages for the corresponding table that had been imported successfully and has to be

reimported by “0” (see Restarting R3load Processes [page 48]).

5. Restart the import.

4. ./ export_monitor.sh / ./import_monitor.shEnd of: IBM i5/OS |

You can specify options in the command line or in the export or import property files. The names of

the property files are export_monitor_cmd.properties and import_monitor_cmd.properties.

Templates for these files are included in the application archive and must be located in the current

user's working directory.

Any options specified in the command line take precedence over the corresponding options in the

application property file. Options are case-sensitive: Any options that are not recognized are ignored.

To specify an option:

■ In the command line:

Enter -optionName optionValue.

■ In the application property file:

Insert the new line optionName=optionValue.

What happens during export / import with the above listed property files during a system copy with Oracle as source and target database:

■ The following directories must exist on the export host (parameter: exportDirs):

● c:\temp\export_dump\DATA

● c:\temp\export_dump\DB

● c:\temp\export_dump\DB\ORA

The c:\temp\export_dump\DATA directory must contain the STR files generated by R3ldctl, the c:

\temp\export_dump\DB directory the DDL<DBTYPE>.TPL files generated by R3ldctl, and the c:\temp

\export_dump\DB\ORA directory the EXT files generated by R3szchk.

■ The export monitor writes the R3load dump files and the TOC files to the directory c:\temp

\export_dump\DATA.

■ The R3load log files, cmd files, and TSK files (if required) are located in the directory c:\install

\start (parameter: installDir). The export itself is not done by the export monitor, as the

monitor is started in client mode (parameter server is not set).

■ As soon as a package has been exported successfully, the export monitor will transfer all files

belonging to that package (TOC, STR, EXT, 001, and so on) to the target host (parameter:

ftpHost) into the corresponding subdirectories of the directory /install_dir/export_dump

(parameter: ftpExportDirs) as user <sapsid>adm (parameter: ftpUser), identified by password

(parameter: ftpPassword) to log on.

■ If the package files have been completely transferred to the server, the export monitor will write

a <package>.SGN signal file to the /install_dir/exchange (parameter: ftpExchangeDir) directory

to notify the import monitor that it can start importing this package.



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 95/116

■ The following directories must exist on the import host (parameter: importDirs):

● /install_dir/export_dump/DATA

● /install_dir/export_dump/DB

● /install_dir/export_dump/DB/ORA

The /install_dir/export_dump/DATA directory has to contain the STR files generated by R3ldctl,

the /install_dir/export_dump/DB directory the files DDL<DBTYPE>.TPL also generated by R3ldctl,

the /install_dir/export_dump/DB/ORA directory the EXT files generated by R3szchk.

■ The import monitor will start to import a package as soon as the <package>.SGN file is found in

the /install_dir/exchange (parameter: exchangeDir) directory.

■ The R3load log files, cmd files, and TSK files (if required) will be located in the directory /

install_dir/start (parameter: installDir).

■ The file DDLORA.TPL has to be copied to the directory /install_dir/start (parameter:

7.1.7 Installing the Target System Using the Migration Monitor

Prerequisites

Make sure that there is enough free space on the target system for the database load. To find out the

size of the export and the sizes of the tablespaces or dbspaces that are created, look at the file

DBSIZE.XML located in the directory <DRIVE>:\<EXPDIR>\DB\<DATABASE> (Windows) or <EXPDIR>/DB/

<DATABASE> (UNIX).

Procedure

1. If you want to start the installation of the target host using the Migration Monitor, make sure that

at least the dump directory with the following files is accessible on the target host and that it

contains the correct data before you start SAPinst:

■ <dump dir>/LABEL.ASC

■ <dump dir>/DB/<DBTYPE>/DBSIZE.XML

■ <dump dir>/DB/DDLORA.TPL

If the dump directory is not shared on the target host, copy the files from the source system to the

target system as soon as they have been created on the source host using the (export) migration

monitor's FTP copy options.

2. Start SAPinst as described in the installation documentation for your SAP component.

3. To install the target system, follow the instructions in the SAPinst input dialogs and enter the

required parameters as far as the ABAP System > Database screen. On this screen, choose Standard

System Copy/Migration (R3load-Based).

4. Select the Use Migration Monitor option.

NOTE

If you need more information about input parameters, position the cursor on the field of the

respective parameter and press F1.

5. When SAPinst displays the CD browser window and asks for the Export Migration CD, enter the path

to the export directory <EXPDIR>.

6. Continue as described in the installation documentation for your SAP component until a dialog

box appears that states:

If the export has been started on the source system and the export monitor is

running, you can now start the data load by starting the import monitor.



2012-03-14 PUBLIC 97/116

7. Check that the prerequisites in the dialog box are fulfilled by your system. If so, start the Migration

Monitor.

8. Complete the installation as described in the installation documentation for your SAP solution.

CAUTION

If you have to restart the import after an error, just restart SAPinst. The import is continued

with the table that was not imported successfully.

7.2 Using SAPinst GUI

7.3 Interrupted Installation with SAPinst

The SAP system installation might be interrupted for one of the following reasons:

■ An error occurred during the Define Parameters or Execute phase:

SAPinst does not abort the installation in error situations. If an error occurs, the installation pauses

and a dialog box appears. The dialog box contains a short description of the choices listed in the

table below as well as a path to a log file that contains detailed information about the error.

■ You interrupted the installation by choosing Cancel in the SAPinst menu.

The following table describes the options in the dialog box:

Option Definition

Retry SAPinst retries the installation from the point of failure without repeating any of the previous steps.This is possible because SAPinst records the installation progress in the keydb.xml file.We recommend that you view the entries in the log files, try to solve the problem, and then choose Retry.If the same or a different error occurs, SAPinst displays the same dialog box again.

Stop SAPinst stops the installation, closing the dialog box, the SAPinst GUI, and the GUI server.SAPinst records the installation progress in the keydb.xml file. Therefore, you can continue the installation from the point of failure without repeating any of the previous steps (see the procedure below).

Continue SAPinst continues the installation from the current point.

View Log Access installation log files.


NOTE

You can also terminate SAPinst by choosing Ctrl + C . However, we do not recommend that

you use Ctrl + C , because this kills the process immediately.

7.4 Performing a Remote Export Using SAPinst

Purpose

You can run the SAPinst GUI in standalone mode to perform a remote export.

This enables you to perform the export on another host (the remote host) while monitoring the export

with the SAPinst GUI on your local Windows or UNIX computer (the local host).

Prerequisites

■ You have performed the preparation activities for your local host (SAPinst GUI host) and your

remote host as described in Prerequisites in Exporting the Source System Using SAPinst [page 31].

■ Both computers are in the same network and can ping each other.

To test this:

● Log on to your remote host and enter the command ping <local host>.

● Log on to the local host and enter the command ping <remote host>.

Process Flow

1. Start the SAPinst server on your remote host.

2. Start the SAPinst GUI on your local host.

3. Perform the installation using the SAPinst GUI.

For more information, see:

■ Starting SAPinst on the Remote Host [page 102]

■ Starting SAPinst GUI Separately [page 105]

7.4.1 Performing a Remote Installation with SAPinst

You use this procedure to install your SAP system on a remote host. In this case, SAPinst and the

SAPinst GUI server run on the remote host, and SAPinst GUI client runs on the local host. The local

host is the host from which you control the installation with the SAPinst GUI client. The GUI client

connects using a secure SSL connection to the GUI server and the GUI server connects to SAPinst.


NOTE

For IBM i only in rare cases a remote installation is done. A local installation on IBM i means that

the entire SAPinst (the SAPinst, the SAPinst GUI server and SAPinst GUI client) is running on the

same Windows PC to install an SAP system on IBM i using the TMKSVR. A remote installation



102/116 PUBLIC 2012-03-14

on IBM i means that two Windows PCs and one IBM i host are involved in the installation. On

the remote PC, located close to the IBM i host, you are running the SAPinst and the SAPinst GUI

server. On the local PC, you only run the SAPinst GUI client.

End of: IBM i5/OS |

Only valid for: UNIX;Windows |

Alternatively you can use an X server for Microsoft Windows or other remote desktop tools such as

VNC Viewer or NX Server / NX Client – offered by various vendors or open source – for remote access

to SAPinst GUI on Windows workstations. We recommend that you use the Hummingbird Exceed X

Server, which we use to validate installations with SAPinst. For more information, see SAP Note

1170809.End of: UNIX;Windows |

Only valid for: UNIX;Windows | Linux;Windows |

You can run the GUI client on a PC with 32-bit while SAPinst is running on a 64-bit installation host.End of: UNIX;Windows | Linux;Windows |

CAUTION

The behavior of SAPinst, GUI server and GUI client has changed compared to previous versions.

SAP no longer delivers any JCE policy archives within the SAP Java Virtual Machine (SAP JVM).

You have to download the required Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy zip file from SAP

on the remote host. For more information, see SAP Note 1238121.


CAUTION

If you install SAP instances on IBM i, “local host” in this section refers to the Windows installation

host, not the IBM i host.


Prerequisites

■ The remote host meets the prerequisites as described in Running SAPinst in your installation guide.

■ Both computers are in the same network and can ping each other.

7.4.2 Starting the SAPinst GUI Separately

You use this procedure to start the SAPinst GUI client separately. You might need to start the GUI

client separately in the following cases:

■ You have logged off from SAPinst.

If you logged off during the installation and you later want to reconnect to the installation while

it is still running, you can start SAPinst GUI separately.

■ You want to perform a remote installation [page 102].

If the GUI client runs on a different host from SAPinst and the GUI server, you have to start the

GUI client separately on the local host.

CAUTION

The behavior of SAPinst has changed compared to previous versions. SAP no longer delivers any

JCE policy archives within the SAP JVM. You have to download the required JCE policy zip file

from SAP on the local host. For more information, see SAP Note 1238121.
