1 Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver
Purpose
This document explains how to copy SAP systems in one run using either database-independent
methods or database-specific methods.
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.
1.1 Terminology
■ 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.
■ 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. The terms source database and target
database are also used in this description.
■ 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.
■ Database Copy
Database-dependent part of the system copy.
■ Placeholders
1 Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver
1.1 Terminology
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 7/138
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.
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
1.2 Online Information from SAP
Before you start the system copy, you must read the documentation that is referenced in the following:
■ Read the following SAP Note for up-to-date information on system copy and corrections to the
system copy documentation:
SAP Note 1490839 (System Copy for SAP NetWeaver Based on Kernel 7.3)
Make sure that you have the most recent version of the SAP Note, which you can find at
http://service.sap.com/notes.
■ This documentation describes only 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.
NOTE
If you have problems during the system copy, create a customer message using the application
area BC-INS-MIG.

1.3 Accessing the SAP Library
The references to SAP NetWeaver Library documentation in this guide always refer to the following
on SAP Help Portal:
http://help.sap.com/nw73 SAP NetWeaver 7.3 Knowledge Center SAP NetWeaver Library
1.4 Constraints
■ As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, when your system is a dual-stack system and you perform a system copy,
your source system is copied to the target system as a whole. This means that it is neither possible
to exclude a single stack from the system copy nor to copy a separate stack only.
■ 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.
■ SAP does not support all data archiving operations after a system copy.
If you used data archiving in the source system, you might not always have access from the target
system to the archive files that were created. For more information, see SAP Note 153433 and System
Landscape Optimization at http://service.sap.com/slo.
Access from the target system to archived files in the source system without a dedicated archive
migration project is only supported as follows:
● You have copied a source system that uses external data archiving. The target system has read-
only access to this archive.
● You have copied a source system that uses data archiving locally. You can either arrange
network access for appropriate archive file sharing or copy all archive files to the file system
of the target system.
In all other cases, contact SAP SLO at http://service.sap.com/slo or

1.3 Accessing the SAP Library
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 9/138
■ When you perform a system copy, all software units in the source system are copied to the target
system. This means that none of the software units in the target system can be excluded from the
system copy, nor can you select software units.
■ Dos and Don'ts for system copy:
● Do:
◆ 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 apply the system copy for the following:
■ Setting up system landscapes (where the SAP systems have different SAPSIDs).
■ Providing systems for testing, demonstration, training, and standby.
NOTE
● Oracle only: You cannot create standby systems with a system copy.
● You should perform upgrades in a test system first. This way you can identify customer-
specific problems that might result from modifications.
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.
■ Changing the operating system, the database, or both.
You can use different operating system releases or database releases for the source and target
systems, but the SAP system release of the source and target systems must be the same.
■ Changing the hardware.
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.
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. Consider a test run
Perform a test run of the system copy. You can use the time taken by the test run to calculate the
system downtime:
2 Planning
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 11/138
■ If you want your target system to 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
perform read/write actions only on local file systems.
3. Define a schedule for the test run and the final system copy.
When copying a system that contains production data, choose the moment for the copy carefully.
This could be a month-end or year-end closing.
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 [page 21] using SAP tools
Use this method if database-specific methods are either not available or not suitable.
NOTE
For a database-heterogeneous system copy and for Unicode conversion, only the
database-independent method is available.
● The database-specific procedure [page 45] using tools provided by the database vendor
Some database vendors offer specific tools for copying a database. These tools let you:
◆ 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
● Copy single instances only
◆ Copy the primary application server instance only [page 83].
◆ Copy the database only (using SAPinst) [page 83]
◆ Copy the database only (using database refresh) [page 85]
CAUTION
You cannot copy single usage types or components!

Development Infrastructure (DI) only:
2 Planning
12/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
For the migration of Java Development Infrastructure (JDI) components you can apply either
“Copy” or “Move”.
● Copy
“Copy” is supported only by Design Time Repository (DTR). After a copy, both the source
DTR and target DTR can be used productively in parallel. However, Component Build Service
(CBS), Change Management Service (CMS), and CM Services do not support such a copy.
● Move
“Move” is supported by all JDI components (DTR, CBS, CMS, and CM Services). After a move,
the source system can no longer be used, that is, only the target is active after the move has
been performed.End of: Development Infrastructure (DI) |
■ Changing the system variant
If you want to change your system variant (for example, if you want to make your standard system
a distributed or high-availability system), proceed as follows:
1. Perform the export [page 29].
2. For the import, choose the relevant system copy options as described in the process flows of
the system copy procedure [page 22].
■ Choosing an SAP system ID
You can choose the new SAP system ID <TARGET_SAPSID> freely during a new installation.
CAUTION
To meet the requirements of the Workbench Organizer, you must choose different SAP
system IDs for different SAP systems.
■ SAP license
Once the installation is completed and the SAP system copy has been imported, you require a new
license key for the target system. The license key of the source system is not valid for this system.
For information about ordering and installing the SAP license, see the SAP Library [page 9] at:
SAP NetWeaver Library: Function-Oriented View Solution Life Cycle Management SAP Licenses .
For more information about SAP license keys, see http://service.sap.com/licensekey or SAP
Note 94998.
■ Archiving files
Data that has been archived in the source system (data that does not reside in the database but was
moved to a different storage location using SAP Archive Management) must be made accessible
in the target system. Adapt the file residence information in the target system. For more
information, see the SAP Library [page 9] at:
SAP NetWeaver Library: Function-Oriented View Solution Life Cycle Management Data Archiving (CA-
ARC) .
Access to archive files is platform-independent.
■ Configuration analysis and hardware analysis

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 on the source system. For more information about
SAP system administration, see 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 installation kit and installed during the installation of the target system by 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 primary application server instance.
■ Before you start the export on your source system, check that your JAVA_HOME environment points
to a valid JDK version.
NOTE
In i5/OS, the installed JVMs available in QIBM/ProdData are queried and the best suited one is
chosen. If you want to use another JVM, you must set JAVA_HOME.
■ 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 see 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)
3 Preparations
3.1 General Technical Preparations
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 15/138
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
■ Adapt the operation mode timetable to make sure that no switching of operating modes takes
place while a system is being copied as follows:
Call transaction SM63 or choose SAP Menu Tools CCMS Configuration Operation Mode
Calendar .
■ Write down the logical system names of all clients:
1. If you plan to overwrite an existing system with a system copy, make sure you write down the
logical system names of all clients in the system that will be overwritten (transaction SCC4).
Since 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 (for example, 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 SAP NetWeaver Business
Warehouse 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).
Changes to logical system names are not required.
■ Before the export, delete QCM tables from your system as follows:
1. Before deleting you must always check the following:
● The tables are consistent – no restart log or conversion procedure termination must be
displayed
● The data of the original table can be read
● 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:
In transaction SAPF190, for classic FI, choose Accounting Financial Accounting General ledger
Periodic Processing Closing Check/count Reconciliation .
For a new general ledger, choose Accounting Financial Accounting General ledger Periodic Processing
Closing Check/count Reconciliation (New) .
3 Preparations
3.1 General Technical Preparations
16/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
■ 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.
● RFUMSV00 (tax on sales/purchases)
● RAGITT01 (asset history sheet)
● RAZUGA01 (asset acquisitions)
● RAABGA01 (fixed asset retirements)
Make sure that no customer data is changed in the meantime.
■ 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
If the tables are not empty and you do not delete the contents of these tables you encounter
problems while importing the data to your target system because of non NULL capable fields
in these tables.

3.2 Usage-Type-Specific Preparations
ProcedureOnly valid for: Process Integration (PI) |
Process Integration (PI)
After messages have been processed successfully, they are kept in the database for a certain period of
time. The data volume of these messages significantly influences the time for export/import. Therefore
we strongly recommend that you reduce the amount of data by archiving or deleting messages before
starting the export.
For more information, see the SAP Library [page 9] at SAP NetWeaver Library: Function-Oriented View Process
Integration Administering PI (Process Integration) Management Data Archiving .
CAUTION
In case you have configured business systems and the Integration Server in different clients of the
same system, be aware that no adoption takes place for the business clients during system copy
procedure. You will have to adapt the configuration for these clients afterwards as follows:
1. Adapt the logical system (SALE, SCC4).
2. Create a new business system in SLD after creating a technical system (RZ70).
3. Reconfigure scenarios related to these clients according to the configuration guide.

Make sure that you have the appropriate installation kit version for your SAP kernel and that the
versions of the SAP systems and the installation media are the same on the target and source
systems. Exceptions are only allowed if they are described in an SAP Note.
CAUTION
The source system must be in a consistent state before you can copy it.
2. Make the required media available.
RECOMMENDATION
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.
3. If you want to perform a heterogeneous system copy you need a migration key. You can generate
it at http://service.sap.com/migrationkey.

This page is left blank for documents that are printed on both sides.
4 Database Independent System Copy
With the SAP installation tool SAPinst, you can export and import your ABAP 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.
Constraints
R3load 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 export, no transactions on export-relevant database objects are allowed
during the export. Otherwise, the export has to be restarted. Therefore, we recommend that you
shut down the SAP system (excluding the database!) for the export. The database must still be
running.
■ 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.
■ Indexes longer than 18 characters are not allowed on the database to be exported.
Existing Target System
If the target system already exists and if you do not plan to perform an MCOD installation, delete
the database on the target system before the import. For more information, see Additional Information in
the installation documentation for your SAP component.
If the database configuration of your database is stored in the file system, we recommend you to back
up these configuration files 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
one unload/load process is a package. The packages differ in 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 and smaller pieces.
■ There are several options of how to split packages. For a detailed description of the options, see the
F1 help about the parameters prompted on theSplit STR Files screen while running SAPinst to
4 Database Independent System Copy
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 21/138
export the database. The options can be used separately or – when using the new Java based splitting
tool – combined.
■ “Splitting of STR Files” is part of the “Advanced Export Parameters” and is disabled by default. If
you select the splitting option (if you did not already perform some tests before), using the splitting
tool parameters selected by SAPinst is a good starting point.
CAUTION
If you want to split STR files, 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.
4.1 System Copy Procedure
This section describes the system copy procedure using R3load.
Procedure
Process Flow on the Source System (Export)
When performing the export you create a MIGRATION EXPORT CD image, which contains the data
of the exported system, and which you use to install the target system.
Follow the sequence of steps described in the process flows below for a:
■ Standard system
■ Distributed system or high-availability system
Standard System
To perform the export for a standard system, proceed as follows on the standard system host:
1. Heterogeneous system copy only: Generate the migration key at http://service.sap.com/
migrationkey. Enter the installation number of your source system when prompted.
2. Perform the export on the standard system host:
1. Make sure that the QCM tables are deleted from your system as described in General Technical
Preparations [page 15].
2. Generate DDL statements [page 24].
3. Prepare the system for table splitting [page 25] (optional).
4. If you want to run export processes in parallel to import processes,
run SAPinst on UNIX or Windows [page 29] or on IBM i [page 33] to prepare the source system
for the export.
In SAPinst, choose the system copy option Export Preparation.
5. Run SAPinst on UNIX or Windows [page 29] or on IBM i [page 33] to export the database instance.

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.
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 also SAP Note 888210.
4.3 Preparation for Table Splitting
The tool R3ta 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 has to be performed with the Migration Monitor when the table splitting
feature is used. For more information about the Migration Monitor, see R3load Procedures Using the
Migration Monitor [page 95] or the Migration Monitor User Guide. You can find them in the
MIGMON.SAR archive contained in the folder <Product>_IM_<OS>_<DB> of the installation media.
■ 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:
● IBM DB2 for z/OS (Only create a temporary index if you want to perform an unsorted unload.)
● Oracle
For more information, see paragraph Creating a Temporary Index.
Restrictions
■ Only tables that are described in the SAP dictionary can be split.
■ The following tables cannot be split:

4. Specify SAPSID, <sapsid>adm 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!
5. Continue with Next; now the *.WHR files and the whr.txt file are created in the export directory.
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.
6. If required, create the temporary index on the source system's tables to be split. For more
information, see paragraph Creating a Temporary Index.
Parallel data export of a table is supported by all database platforms but not parallel data import. When
the target database platform does not support the parallel data import, the Migration Monitor has to
be configured in the way that the data import processes the packages are 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.
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.3 Preparation for Table Splitting
26/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
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 media
(folder <Product>_IM_<OS>_<DB>). If you want to modify this file, copy it from the directory <IM_OS>/
COMMON/INSTALL to the installation directory and adapt it according your requirements as soon as the
Parameter Summary dialog appears and before starting the processing phase.
Creating a Temporary Index

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 Parallel Export and Import
If you want to perform export processes in parallel to import processes, you have to prepare the source
system for the export. The preparation includes the following steps, that are required to set up the
target database:
■ Creating the export directory structure
■ Calculating the size of the target database
■ Creating database size file DBSIZE.XML
If you do not prepare the export, you have to wait for the export results before you can start with the
target system setup.

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
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 instead perform a remote system copy with SAPinst, 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 120].
For more information about SAPinst, see Useful Information About SAPinst [page 114].
Prerequisites
CAUTION
Make sure that you shut down all SAP application servers before the export. The database must

4.5.2 Running SAPinst on IBM i to Perform the Export
4.5.2.1 Starting SAPinst on IBM i
CAUTION
Make sure that you shut down all SAP Application Servers before the export. Otherwise, the target
system might be inconsistent.
This procedure tells you how to run SAPinst to export the database of your SAP system. SAPinst includes
an SAPinst GUI and a GUI server, which both use Java.
This section describes an export where SAPinst and SAPinst GUI server runs on the host and the GUI
runs on a Windows 32-bit host.
NOTE
When you start SAPinst, the GUI server is also started. SAPinst GUI connects using a secure SSL
connection to the GUI server and the GUI server connects to SAPinst.
Procedure1. Log on to your host as a user with similar authorization rights as QSECOFR. For more information,
see Preparing an IBM i User Profile [page 36].
CAUTION
Make sure that the installation user has not set any environment variables for a different SAP
system or database.
2. Make the medium for the installation master (folder <Product>_IM_<OS>_<DB>) available on your
host.
For more information about making the installation media available, see Copying the Installation Media
Manually Using the ROOTBIN Share [page 37].
3. Start SAPinst from the medium for the installation master (folder <Product>_IM_<OS>_<DB>) in
one of the following ways:
■ Using the default installation directory (recommended)
Enter the following commands:
cd 'DATA_UNITS/<product>_IM_OS400_PPC64_DB4'
CALL PGM(QP2TERM) PARM('./sapinst')
NOTE
● As a default, there is no GUI on IBM i, so you cannot see an SAPinst Welcome screen.
You must start the SAPinst GUI separately on a Windows 32-bit platform. For more
information, see Starting SAPinst GUI Separately (Optional) [page 124].
● For advanced users only: PASE, which is similar to AIX allows you to set the
DISPLAY variable. If you already have a running and configured XWindows Server
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.5 Exporting the Source System Using SAPinst
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 33/138
on Linux or Windows (for example, Humming Bird), you can try to direct the
graphical output of SAPinst to a XWindow by setting the DISPLAY variable. If this
works, you do not have to use the remote SAPinst GUI separately. We do not
recommend that you start the SAPinst using the DISPLAY variable as there is no
support available.
● Only valid for: HA (UNIX) |
If you are installing a high-availability system and you have not already set the
environment parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME to specify the virtual host name,
you can start SAPinst as follows:
CALL PGM(QP2TERM) PARM('./sapinst' 'SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host
name>')
End of: HA (UNIX) |
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.
● Make sure that your current working directory is not an IM_<OS> directory belonging
to another operating system.
For example, the following commands are incorrect and cause an error:
$ CD DIR ('DATA_UNITS/<product>_IM_HPUX_IA64')
$ CALL PGM(QP2TERM) PARM('DATA_UNITS/<product>_IM_HPUX_PARISC/
sapinst')
The following commands are correct:
$ CD DIR('DATA_UNITS/<product>_IM_OS400_PPC64_DB4')
$ CALL PGM(QP2TERM) PARM('./sapinst')
■ Using an alternative installation directory
If you want to use an alternative installation directory, set the environment variable TEMP,
TMP, or TMPDIR.
NOTE
To receive a list of all available SAPinst properties, enter the following command:
CALL PGM(QP2TERM) PARM('./sapinst -p')

4.5.2.3 Copying the Installation Media Manually to Your IBM i
This section describes a secure way to copy the required installation media from your Windows PC to
your IBM i. To copy the media, you have to use a binary share ROOTBIN. This guarantees that the content
of the media is copied correctly from the Windows PC to your IBM i. No copied content is corrupted,
and no copied files with longer file names are shortened by a converting share.
Procedure
Creating a Binary Share ROOTBIN on IBM i
If you do not already have a binary share ROOTBIN on your IBM i, and you want to copy manually media
from your Windows PC into the IFS of your IBM i, you have to create this share manually using the
System i Navigator (OpsNav). To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Start the System i Navigator on your Windows PC.
2. Connect to your IBM i using My Connections.
3. To create or change the share ROOTBIN, choose File Systems File Shares .
4. Right-click File Shares Open i5/OS Netserver .
A new screen i5/OS Netserver appears.
5. Click the folderShared Objectsto see the shares.
6. To check the already existing share ROOTBIN or create a new share ROOTBIN, right-click New
File .
NOTE
The share ROOTBIN must have the access permission Read/Write and the path name should
be /.
7. On the Text Conversion tab, do not select Allow file text conversion.
8. To save the share ROOTBIN, press OK.
Now you have created the share ROOTBIN on your IBM i.
Copying the Installation Media Manually Using the Binary Share ROOTBIN
1. To open the MS DOS screen on Windows, choose Start Run .
2. Enter cmd.exe.
3. Press OK.
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.5 Exporting the Source System Using SAPinst
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 37/138
The MS DOS screen appears.
4. In the command line of the MS DOS screen, enter net use.
All network connections to shared resources are displayed.
5. Check if you have a connection to your IBM i.
If you find \\<IBM_i_Hostname>\ROOTBIN in the Remote column and a drive directory letter in the
Local column, you have already established the required connection to your IBM i.
Otherwise, you have to establish this connection. To do this, enter:
net use X: \\<IBM_i_Hostname>\ROOTBIN SAP /USER:SAPIUSR
X: is now your new network drive to share \\<IBM_i_Hostname>\ROOTBIN to your IFS on the
IBM i. If X: is already in use, choose another drive letter that is free.
NOTE
We use the user name SAPIUSR and the password SAP as examples. For more information
about how to create the installation user SAPIUSER, see Preparing an IBM i User Profile [page 36].
6. To change to the new network drive, enter X: in the command line of your MS DOS screen.
7. Create the subdirectories in your IFS where you want to copy the required media.
For each media, enter:
mkdir \tmp\<sid>\<media_name>
NOTE
You must avoid spaces in the media path name.
8. Copy the installation media from your Windows drive (for example D:\) to the IFS of your IBM i
host by inserting the required installation media and entering the following command:
xcopy D:\<media> X:\tmp\<sid>\<media_name> /E or
xcopy C:\tmp\download\<media_name> X:\tmp\<sid>\<media_name> /E
NOTE
You must copy the root directory of the media and all required media subdirectories to the
IFS of your IBM i.
9. For each required media, create a subdirectory and copy the required media.
NOTE
For advanced users only: Instead of copying the complete media you also can copy only dedicated
subdirectories. For IBM i the following directories have to be copied:
■ <product>_IM_OS400_PPC64
■ K_<version>_<U or N>_OS400_PPC64
■ EXP*
■ JAVA*
■ SL_CONTROLLER*
■ <product>_SAPINSTGUI_WINDOWS_I386

4.5.3 Restarting R3load Processes
You can restart failed or canceled R3load processes while the Migration Monitor is still running. The
state files export_state.properties and import_state.properties (see Output Files [page 111]) allow
package states to be manually updated to restart failed R3load processes.
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.
If you want to restart failed or canceled R3load processes that are using the socket option, R3load
processes that process the same package must not be running.
Procedure
Restarting R3load Processes Without Using the Socket Option
■ 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.
Restarting R3load Processes Using the Socket Option
1. Make sure that no related R3load processes (export or import) are running. For example, if you
want to restart an R3load export process and the corresponding import process that processes the
same package is still running, cancel it or wait until it has finished.
2. There are four possible situations where an R3load restart may be required. Proceed as required:
■ 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” and for the
export TSK file from “ok” to “err”.
■ If both the export and the import are canceled with errors, proceed as follows:
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.5 Exporting the Source System Using SAPinst
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 39/138
● If the errors in export and import relate to the same table, there is nothing to do.
● If the errors relate to different tables, set the status of the first object with errors in both
the export and the import TSK file to “err” and in the export_state.properties and in
the import_state.properties files to “–”.
EXAMPLE
Export TSK file Import TSK file
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 in the export TSK file. That means that in
the import TSK file the status for TAB_2 must be set from “ok” to “err”.
The entry in the export_state.properties and import_state.properties files
also must be set from “+” to “0”.
■ When the import was completed successfully, but the export was canceled with errors,
you can set the status in the export_state.properties from “–” to “+”.
3. Restart SAPinst or the Migration Monitor to proceed with the system copy.

the source system.
Process Flow
Standard System
You perform the following steps on the standard system host:
1. You prepare the standard system host for the installation of your target system as described in the
installation guide for your SAP application.
2. If you have already prepared the export [page 28] on the source system because you want to perform
export processes in parallel to import processes, you perform the following steps:
1. If you use the FTP Exchange option during the export (transfer type FTP on the SAP System >
Data Transfer Parameters for Export screen and communication type Exchange Directory on the SAP
System > Communication Parameters for Export screen), make sure that you have transferred all files
that have been generated in step Preparing Parallel Export and Import [page 28] on the source system.

3. If required, on the host or hosts of the application server instance, you install further
additional application server instances as described in the installation guide for your SAP
application.
Distributed System or High-Availability System
Perform the following steps on the relevant installation hosts of your target system:
1. You prepare the host of the primary application server instance and the database instance
host for the installation of the corresponding instances of your target system as described in the
installation guide for your SAP application.
2. You perform the following steps on the database instance host:
■ If you have already prepared the export [page 28] on the source system because you want to perform
export processes in parallel to import processes, you perform the following steps:
1. If you use the FTP Exchange option during the export (transfer type FTP on the SAP System
> Data Transfer Parameters for Export screen and communication type Exchange Directory on the
SAP System > Communication Parameters for Export screen), make sure that you have transferred
the files, which have been generated in step Preparing Parallel Export and Import [page 28] on
the source system.
2. You install the database instance of the target system [page 42].
■ If you did not prepare the export [page 28] on the source system, you install the database instance of the
target system [page 42]
3. On the host of the primary application server instance, you install the primary application
server instance of the target system.
4. If required, on the host or hosts of the additional application server instance, you install
further additional application server instances as described in the installation guide for your SAP
application.
4.6.1 Transferring the Export Files to the Target Host
Procedure
1. On the target host, create a directory <EXPDIR> with sufficient space for the database export files
available.
CAUTION
Do not create this directory under the installation directory or another directory that
contains installation information (such as the installation master or export files).
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.6 Setting Up the Target System
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 41/138
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.
2. Transfer all files and directories (recursively) that are located on the source host in the migration
export directory <EXPDIR> from the source host to the target host.
You can choose one of the following methods:
■ Use the migration monitor with the file transfer protocol (FTP) copy option.
NOTE
Make sure that you use binary mode for transferring the files.
■ 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 (network
share).
3. Check the permissions of the transferred files on the target host. All files have to be accessible for
user <sapsid>adm of the target system.
NOTE
If your source system is a distributed system, the files created by the export of the central instance
and the files created by the export of the database instance have to be located in the same
<EXPDIR> directory for the installation of the target system.
If you have not exported into the same <EXPDIR> already, then you have to merge the two
<EXPDIR> directories from the central instance export and from the database instance export
before starting the target system installation.
Make sure you use the SOURCE.PROPERTIES file from the central instance export when merging
the two export folders.
4.6.2 Installing the Target System
Prerequisites
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 will be created, look at the file DBSIZE.XML, which is
located in the following directory:
Windows: <DRIVE>:\<EXPDIR>\DB\<DATABASE>
UNIX: <EXPDIR>/DB/<DATABASE>
Only valid for: MaxDB |
If the database platform of your target system is MaxDB, you must reserve at least twice as much space
as specified in the DBSIZE.XML file. During the import, monitor the remaining free space in the database
using the MaxDB administration tools Database Manager or Database Studio, and increase it if required.End of: MaxDB |

5. To install the target system, follow the instructions in the SAPinst input dialogs and enter the
required parameters.
CAUTION
■ If you perform a Unicode conversion, the data import into the target system might abort
because of missing space in the database tablespace or dbspace. Enlarge the database or
database container, in which the table DYNPSOURCE will be created in the target database.
The required size for the table will be 15 times larger than in the non-Unicode source
system.
■ Do not create the installation directory (for example: sapinst_instdir) in the following
directories:
● UNIX: /usr/sap/<SAPSID>
● UNIX: /sapmnt/<SAPSID>
● Windows: \usr\sap\<SAPSID>
● Windows: \sapmnt\<SAPSID>
■ If you want to perform export processes in parallel to import processes and you have prepared
the export, you must choose Custom on the Parameter Mode screen.
■ On the SAP System > Database screen, choose Standard System Copy/Migration (Load-Based).
The SAP data dump from the MIGRATION EXPORT CD image that you created during the export
is loaded in the newly installed SAP system database.

5 Database-Specific System Copy
46/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
Only valid for: Oracle |
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
the copy can be an offline 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
steps are different.
Advantages
■ You can use existing offline backups (provided that redo logs were cleaned up with forced log
switches).
■ This method is faster than the R3load method.
Disadvantages
■ Offline 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 during offline backup/copy of database files.
■ You cannot change the database schema and the tablespace names.
Prerequisites
■ You must use the same Oracle release and patch level for your database in the source and target
system.
■ 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 a JRE version 1.5 or higher is installed
on the database instance.
■ The JAVA_HOME environment variable must point the JRE directory.
■ The backup must be done offline.
■ The source and target systems must run on different hosts for security reasons.
■ The source and target systems must be binary compatible.
NOTE
You can also perform a system copy from 32-bit systems to 64-bit systems and the other way
around (same operating system assumed) even if source and target system are not binary
compatible.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.1 Oracle-Specific Procedure
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 47/138
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;
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 medium for the installation master to the installation
directory and extract it using SAPCAR.
You can find the archive in the following directory:
UNIX: /DATA_UNITS/<Product>_IM_<your OS>_ORA/COMMON/INSTALL/ORA/ORABRCOPY.SAR
Windows: \DATA_UNITS\<Product>_IM_WINDOWS_ORA\COMMON\INSTALL\ORA\ORABRCOPY.SAR
3. Make sure that all redo log groups are archived.
4. Start the OraBRCopy tool as an OS user with Oracle DBA privileges:
Only valid for: UNIX |
■ Log on as one of the following users:
● ora<dbsid>
● <sapsid>adm
■ Enter the following commands:
./ora_br_copy.sh -generateFiles -forceLogSwitches -targetSid <TARGET_DBSID> -
password <system's password> -listenerPort <listener port>
End of: UNIX |
Only valid for: Windows |
■ Log on as <sapsid>adm
■ Enter the following commands:
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.1 Oracle-Specific Procedure
48/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
ora_br_copy.bat -generateFiles -forceLogSwitches -targetSid <TARGET_DBSID> -
password <system's password> -listenerPort <listener port>
End of: Windows |
5. 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.
NOTE
If an error occurs, check the log file:
<INSTDIR>/ora.brcopy.log
6. Verify and, if necessary, update the CONTROL.SQL control file using the CONTROL.TRC trace file as
follows.
Example
In the following example, entries of CONTROL.SQL written in bold should be compared and changed
according to the trace file. This is a Windows example, however, the changes to be made are valid for
UNIX, too.

5.1.2 Creating a Backup
If required, create a backup. Choose between performing an offline backup manually or an online
backup with BR*Tools.
5.1.2.1 Creating an Offline Backup
Procedure
Create an offline backup, if required. There are different possibilities for preparing 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.
■ 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 steps.
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.

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 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
database installation method.
This description is not valid for the liveCache system copy.
CAUTION
Make sure that you know the password of the database system administrator (SUPERDBA) from
the source system before you start the procedure below. Otherwise, you cannot access the
database contents on the target system.
You must also know the name of the SQL database schema on the source system, SAP<SAPSID> –
for example, SAPR3.
You can perform this procedure in the following ways:
■ Manual restore
SAPinst stops before the database instance initialization and asks you to perform the restore on the
target database. After you have performed restore and post-restore activities, you can continue the
installation in SAPinst.
■ Automatic restore
SAPinst performs the restore to import the data into the target system.
In this scenario, you have to use a single file as the backup medium for the whole backup. The
restore can use any SAP MaxDB backup, as long as it is a single file.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.2 SAP MaxDB-Specific Procedure
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 57/138
NOTE
The minimum size of the database is calculated from the size of the backup file.
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.
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 (manual restore)
You are using the SAP MaxDB Database Manager (DBMGUI) version 7.5.0 Build 12 or above. For
more information, see:
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_6/default.htm Tools Database Manager GUI
Alternatively, you can use Database Studio. For more information, see:
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm Tools Database Studio
■ 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
get 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.

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.
2. After the restore, check the state of the target database instance. Change the database state
to online if it is not already in online state.
3. 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,

Only valid for: Windows | MS SQL Server |
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 also SAP Notes 193816 and
151603.
● With SQL Server, you can use backup images across the platforms x86, IA64, x64. That is,
you can make a backup on one type of platform and use it on another type.
● You can only attach SQL Server 2000 files to SQL Server 2005 but not the other way
around.
Process
1. 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 Product> System Copy Target System <System Variant> Based on <Technical Stack> .
Choose the installation options exactly in the order they appear.
For more information, see the MS SQL Server installation guide for your SAP system at:
http://service.sap.com/instguides <Your SAP Product> Installation .
4. When SAPinst prompts for the database copy method, choose Homogeneous System Copy.End of: Windows | MS SQL Server |
Only valid for: IBM DB2 for Linux and UNIX and Windows |
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 you
can use a DB2 backup cross-platform within certain limitations (see below), this method is not limited
to the homogenous system copy only.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.3 MS SQL Server-Specific Procedure
60/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
NOTE
You can also create an SAP system copy with a DB2 database 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 the installation on the target system host as described in the installation
documentation for your SAP component. Before you start 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/instguidesnw <Your SAP NetWeaver Release> Installation 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 is 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 Information Center at http://
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/ index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/c0005960.html.
■ If errors occur when restoring the backup on the target system, the complete restore must be
repeated.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.4 IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows-Specific Procedures
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 61/138
Process
1. You perform an online or offline backup.
If you use an online backup to copy your system, a rollforward 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.
As of DB2 V9.5, logs are included in the online backup image as long as the option EXCLUDE LOGS
is not specified.
2. To create a target system, run SAPinst on the target system host by choosing the following on the
Welcome screen:
<Your Product> System Copy Target System <System Variant> <Technical Stack>
Perform the installation options in the given sequence and follow the instructions on the SAPinst
dialogs. When SAPinst prompts for the database copy method, choose Homogeneous System Copy.
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 can neither change the
connect user. 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 Setting up partitioned database
environments in the IBM DB2 Information Center at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/ index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.db2.luw.qb.server.doc/doc/t0023605.html
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 manual DB2 Command Reference.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.4 IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows-Specific Procedures
62/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
NOTE
With a simple restore, you can neither change the name nor 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 Information Center at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0001976.html.
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 rollforward 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>
For more information, see SAP Note 1227165.
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
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.4 IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows-Specific Procedures
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 63/138
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:
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>.tabdb6 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
V9.5 Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/ v9r5/topic/
com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.gui.doc/doc/c0023713.html.
■ 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)

5.5 IBM DB2 for i Specific Procedure
In an SAP system environment, you can create a homogeneous system copy of a DB2 database using
theSAV/RSTLIB method.
A system copy consists of the export of the source system and the import of the target system. The
export is normally done by SAPinst. However, for the homogenous system on IBM DB2 for i using the
SAV/RSTLIB method you can only perform a SAVLIB of the library R3<SID>DATA. Finally, you have to
copy and transfer the saved database library to the IBM i host on which you want to create the target
system. The import will be performed similar to a normal installation.
You have to start the SAPinst by choosing <Your Product> System Copy Target System <System
Variant> Based on <Technical Stack> . When SAPinst prompts for the database copy method, you choose
Homogeneous System Copy for the database specific method. This method gives you the opportunity to
restore the saved library by using RSTLIB. SAPinst creates a restore command from your entered input
and restores the database library automatically.
Advantage of the Offline System Copy Method
This method is faster than the database-independent method [page 21].

the offline system copy method.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.5 IBM DB2 for i Specific Procedure
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 65/138
This document assumes that the database schema of your SAP system is SAPR3. If you employ a different
schema, adapt the references to SAPR3 in the following SQL statements and jobs to reflect the actual
schema name.
The following section describes an offline system copy method for SAP systems on IBM DB2 for z/
OS.
For this example system copy, the high level qualifier of the source system is assumed to be D8A0 of the
target system D8B0.
System Copy Mode
If you install a primary application server instance on the target system, make sure that you select
Custom Mode.
Advantage of the Offline System Copy Method
This method is faster than the database-independent method [page 21].
Restriction of the Offline System Copy Method
At the moment, you cannot copy an individual MCOD component to another system. You can only
copy the complete system.
NOTE
The offline system copy must be performed by an experienced database administrator.
You can find an adapted procedure for an online system copy in the IBM documentation High
Availability for SAP on zSeries Using Autonomic Computing Technologies.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled to use this method:
■ The permissions of the source and target systems must be completely separate. The source system
must not be able to use the resources of the target system, and the target system must not be able
to use the resources of the source system.
■ RACF authorization for the target DB2 subsystem is complete.
■ Source and target systems must work with DB2 managed objects.
■ Tablespaces are not partitioned.
■ The system copy is made from a nondata sharing system to a nondata sharing system.
■ Procedures of the source and the target system are defined in the DB2 PROCLIB.
■ Source and target systems have their appropriate entries in the APF list.
■ Volumes of the source and target systems are managed by SMS.
■ Source and target systems run with the same DB2 service level.
Variables Used in this Procedure
■ Source System = D8A0
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.6 IBM DB2 for z/OS Specific Procedures
66/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
■ Target System = D8B0
■ Storage Group = TEMPORA
■ High Level Qualifier = HLQ
■ Boot Strap Data Set = BSDS
Main Steps in this Procedure
The following sections contain the detailed steps involved in the homogeneous system copy procedure
for DB2 for z/OS.
In the following steps, storage groups must be modified to apply the new high level qualifier. This can
be achieved by dropping and recreating the storage groups with the new high level qualifier (and
volumes).
To prepare the DB2 catalog of the target system, you must run JCL jobs created by SQLs running in
the source system.
The offline system copy can be divided into the following steps:
1. Check the Source System for Consistency
2. Stop and Restart the Source System
3. Run SQLs in the Source System
4. Capture View Definitions (if you intend to change the schema name.)
5. Stop the Source System
6. Print the Bootstrap Data Sets
7. Make Copies of the Source Data Sets
8. Create the Target System
9. Post-process the Target System
10. Changing the VCAT of the Target System
11. Changing the Schema of the Target System (DB2 V9 only)
12. Adapting WLM Application Environments for DB2 Stored Procedures
JCL jobs and SQL Statements
The JCL jobs and SQL Statements are now located in a compressed file (.zip) that is attached to SAP
Note 680746.
The path for each file is given in the section that previously contained the code.
5.6.1 Step 1: Check Consistency
The following is a list to help you check the source system for consistency.
■ Check if there are threads.
■ Check for authorized utilities using the following:
DISPLAY DATABASE(*) UTIL(*) and press [ENTER]
Your output should be:
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.6 IBM DB2 for z/OS Specific Procedures
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 67/138
No authorized utility found.
If there are running utilities, you must shut them down properly before continuing.
■ Ensure that all DB2 objects of the source system are started RW mode.
This can be checked with
DISPLAY DATABASE(*) SPACENAM(*)
with keyword
RESTRICT.
For more information, see DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 Command Reference (SC26-9932-05).
■ If there are no objects in pending status, the source system must be stopped.
5.6.2 Step 2: Stop and Restart the Source System
Now you must stop and restart the source system with the ACCESS (MAINT) command option to
prohibit any authorization IDs other than install SYSADM and install SYSOPR.
5.6.3 Step 3: Run SQL Statements in the Source System
Prerequisites
As described earlier in this section, you must stop and restart the source system with the ACCESS(MAINT)
command option to prevent changes and to obtain consistent data.

5.6.4 Step 4: Capturing View Definitions with DB2 V9 (if the Schema Name is to be Changed)
DB2 V9 adds the capability to change the VCAT name to the CATMAINT utility. This new capability
facilitates homogenous system copy. Moreover, the CATMAINT utility can change the schema and
creator of objects.
If you intend to also change the schema name as part of the homogeneous system copy, for example
for SAP Java systems, you need to capture the view definitions in this step. This is necessary since
renaming the schema using CATMAINT requires that no views exist on the tables for which a VCAT name
is changed. Therefore, the view definitions are exported in this step using R3ldctl.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.6 IBM DB2 for z/OS Specific Procedures
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 75/138
As part of the post-processing steps that are performed in the target system, the saved view definitions
are later used to re-create the views in the target system. The views may also be saved and later re-
created in the target system using alternative tools.
Procedure
To export the view definitions using R3ldctl:
1. Run R3ldctl without parameters to create the DDLDB2.TPL file, the SAPVIEW.STR file, and others
2. Store these files
5.6.5 Step 5: Stop the Source System
Stop the source system with the following command option:

6 Copying Single Instances Only
If you want to copy single instances of your SAP system only, you can use one of the following
procedures, depending on your use case:
■ Copying the Primary Application Server [page 83]
■ Copying the Database Only – Move [page 83]
■ Copying the Database Only – Refresh [page 85]
CAUTION
You cannot copy single usage types.
6.1 Copying the Primary Application Server Instance Only
As of SAP NetWeaver based on kernel 7.1, you can copy a primary application server instance only.
With this procedure, you can move a primary application server instance to a different host within
your system.
Procedure
1. Shut down all application servers.
2. Uninstall the old primary application server instance.
3. On your target host, run SAPinst on UNIX or Windows [page 29] or run SAPinst on IBM i [page 33].
4. On the Welcome screen, choose <Your Product> System Copy Target System Distributed System or High-

6.3 Copying the Database Only – Refresh
With this procedure, you can refresh the content of an existing database without having to copy the
primary application server instance and to reinstall additional applications servers. The refresh can be
done using either database-specific methods or the SAP standard method based on R3load/Jload.
CAUTION
■ When copying the database only, you cannot change to another database but need to perform
a database-homogeneous copy.
Prerequisites
The source system and the target system already exist.
Procedure
1. On the source system, note down the IDs for each of the Java instances in the profile of the
application server.
The ID is stored in the instance as parameter j2ee/instance_id.
2. On the source system, run SAPinst on UNIX or Windows [page 29] or run SAPinst on IBM i [page 33] to
perform the export.
3. If you perform the export using R3load/Jload, on the Welcome screen, choose <Your Product>
System Copy Source System Based on <Technical Stack> Database Instance Export to export the
database.
If you perform the export using database-specific tools, you must start them manually.
4. On the target system, stop all SAP instances.
5. Run SAPinst and choose <Your Product> System Copy Target System <System Variant> Based on
<Technical Stack> Database Refresh or Move to install the database.
Only valid for: IBM i5/OS |
CAUTION
On IBM i, you have to delete your database libraries manually before you start the installation.
Make sure that these libraries are currently not added to any library list. To delete a library,
use the command DLTLIB.
For ABAP, delete the libraries: R3<SID>DATA and R3<SID>JRN.
For Java, delete the libraries: SAP<SID>DB and SAP<SID>JRN.
Use the command DSPJOBLOG to analyze any upcoming error. Finally choose Next to start the
installation.
End of: IBM i5/OS |
6. When SAPinst has completed the installation of the database, adapt the profiles in the application
server on the target system by reassigning the profile IDs of the Java instances. Make sure that they
are the same as on the source system.

XYZ_D00_<host2>:j2ee/instance_id = ID32225
XYZ_D01_<host1>:j2ee/instance_id = ID2078823
CAUTION
One application server (AS) is assigned to exactly one Java instance, and the other way around.
That means that, in the target system, you need to assign every Java instance in the database to
exactly one application server. You cannot assign the same Java instance to more than one
application server.

ABAP Only Trust Manager Creating or Replacing a PSE .
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.) 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 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.
14. Adapt RFC destinations copied from the source system to the target system.
CAUTION
Before you delete RFC destinations, make sure that they are not needed in the target system.
1. To check and adapt qRFC destination, call transaction SMQR.
2. To check and adapt tRFC destination, call transaction SM58.
3. To delete obsolete RFC destinations, call transaction SM59.

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.
NOTE
Make sure that you have sufficient space available on your database. The generation of all
existing objects requires about 2 to 9 GB of free space.
For a detailed description about how to generate the ABAP load, call transaction SGEN and choose

8.1 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.
For more information about how to start the Migration Monitor manually, see Starting the Migration
Monitor [page 106].
The Migration Monitor does the following:
■ Creating R3load command files
■ Creating R3load task files if required
■ Starting the R3load processes to unload the data
■ Transferring packages from the source to the target host if required
■ Starting the R3load processes to load the data as soon as a package is available
■ Informing the person performing the system copy in case of errors

8.1.2 Assigning DDL Files to Packages
Procedure
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
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.
EXAMPLE
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

8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 103/138
8.1.3 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.
EXAMPLE
Package order file with group:
# custom package order
# package names
SAPAPPL0
SAPAPPL1
SAPAPPL2
# package group
[ SEQUENTIAL GROUP ]
jobNum = 1
# table names
TABLE_A
TABLE_B
TABLE_C
8.1.4 Processing Split Tables
If tables have been split during the export, ensure before the import starts that the table exists (only
once) and that the primary key and the indexes are created (only once) 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 UDB for UNIX and Windows
■ MS SQL
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
104/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
You can ensure this by using the Defining Groups of Packages [page 104] feature.
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. Now you 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
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.
Procedure
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 re-import all packages instead.
Restart for all other database platforms:
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 105/138
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 re-
imported by “0” (see Restarting R3load Processes [page 39]).
5. Restart the import.
8.1.5 Starting the Migration Monitor
The Migration Monitor has to be started on the source database host (export monitor) and on the
target database host (import monitor).
You can specify options in the command line or in the export or import property files (see
Configuration [page 96]). 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, that is, options that are not recognized are ignored.
Prerequisites
■ Make sure that the export dump directory and its subdirectory exist as described in the following
table:
Directory Description
<export dump dir>/DATA Contains the STR files generated by R3ldctl
<export dump dir>/DB Contains the DDL<DBTYPE>.TPL files generated by R3ldctl
<export dump dir>/DB/<DBTYPE> Contains the EXT files generated by R3szchk (optional)
■ Make sure that the export dump directory can be accessed from the target host, either using a
shared directory (local to the export host) or by using Migration Monitor's FTP feature.

Processing Steps of a System Copy (Oracle only)
With the settings in the property file listed in the examples above and an Oracle database as source and
target database, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
■ The following directories must exist on the export host (parameter: exportDirs):
● c:\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DATA
● c:\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB
● c:\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB\ORA
The c:\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DATA directory must contain the STR files generated by R3ldctl.
The c:\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB directory must contain the DDL<DBTYPE>.TPL files generated
by R3ldctl.
The c:\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB\ORA directory must contain the EXT files generated by
R3szchk.
■ The following directories must exist on the import host (parameter: importDirs):
● /install_dir/export_dump/ABAP/DATA
● /install_dir/export_dump/ABAP/DB
● /install_dir/export_dump/ABAP/DB/ORA
The /install_dir/export_dump/ABAP/DATA directory must contain the STR files generated by
R3ldctl.
The /install_dir/export_dump/ABAP/DB directory must contain the DDL<DBTYPE>.TPL files
generated by R3ldctl.
The /install_dir/export_dump/ABAP/DB/ORA directory must contain the EXT files generated by
R3szchk.
The following steps are performed during a system copy:
1. The export monitor writes the R3load dump files and the TOC files to the directory c:\temp
\export_dump\ABAP\DATA.
2. The R3load log files, cmd files, and TSK files (if required) are located in the directory c:
\<install_dir>\start (installDir parameter). The export itself is not done by the export
monitor, as the monitor is running in client mode (server parameter is not set).
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
110/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
3. When a package has been exported successfully, the export monitor transfers all files belonging to
that package (TOC, STR, EXT, 001, and so on) to the target host (ftpHost parameter) to the
corresponding subdirectories of the directory /<install_dir>/export_dump
(ftpExportDirsparameter) as user <sapsid>adm (ftpUser parameter) with password
(ftpPassword parameter).
4. When the package files have been completely transferred to the server, the export monitor writes
a <package>.SGN signal file to the /<install_dir>/exchange directory (ftpExchangeDir
parameter) to notify the import monitor that it can start importing this package.
5. The import monitor starts to import a package as soon as the <package>.SGN file is found in the /
install_dir/exchange (exchangeDir parameter) directory.
6. The R3load log files, cmd files, and TSK files (if required) will be located in the directory /
<install_dir>/start (installDir parameter).
7. The DDLORA.TPL file must be copied to the /install_dir/start directory (installDir parameter)
before you start the import monitor.End of: Oracle |

■ ImportMonitor.console.log
Both the export and import state files contain package state lines such as SAPUSER=+.
The format of state lines is <PACKAGE>=<STATE>. Possible values for state are listed in the following
table:
0 Package export/import not yet started.
? Package export/import in progress.
- Package export/import finished with errors.
+ Package export/import finished successfully.
If any ftp or net exchange options are used, then the export state file may contain a second <STATE>
column that refers to the state of the package transfer.
Then the export state file contains package state lines such as SAPUSER=++.
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
2011-01-18 PUBLIC 111/138
The format of state lines is <PACKAGE>=<STATE>. Possible values for state are listed in the following
table:
0 Package export not yet started.
? Package export in progress.
- Package export finished with errors.
+0 Package export finished successfully; package transfer not yet started.
+? Package transfer in progress.
+- Package transfer finished with errors.
++ Package transfer finished successfully.
8.1.7 Restarting R3load Processes
The state files export_state.properties and import_state.properties (see Output Files [page 111])
allow package states to be manually updated to restart failed R3load processes.
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
of the package state are ignored.
If you restart the Migration Monitor itself, the tool automatically recognizes which R3load packages
have not been finished successfully and starts R3load processes to complete the missing packages. It is
not necessary to modify the state file.
8.1.8 Installing the Target System Using the Migration Monitor
Prerequisites
Make sure 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).
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
112/138 PUBLIC 2011-01-18
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.
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.

8.2.1 Useful Information About SAPinst
■ When you start SAPinst, SAPinst GUI, and the GUI server are also started. SAPinst GUI connects
using a secure SSL connection to the GUI server and the GUI server connects to SAPinst.
Only valid for: UNIX |
■ SAPinst normally creates the 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 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 in 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 option, called <sapinst_instdir>
\<installation_option>, which is located in %ProgramFiles%.
■ 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 called sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx sometimes remain in the temporary directory. You
can safely delete them.
The temporary directory also contains the SAPinst Self-Extractor log file dev_selfex.out, which
might be useful if an error occurs.
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.

CAUTION
■ If SAPinst cannot find a temporary directory, the installation terminates with the error
FCO-00058.
■ I you want to use a different installation directory than the default, make sure that you create
it locally. Otherwise, you might experience problems when starting the SAP Java tools.
Only valid for: UNIX |
■ Before starting the export, make sure that you have at least the same amount of disk space available
in /sapmnt/<SAPSID>/<InstanceName>/SMD/program as is used in /sapmnt/<SAPSID>/
<InstanceName>/SMD/root/origin.
During the export, some archives are written to the program subdirectories and SAPinst aborts if
there is not enough space.
■ Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to <host_name>:0.0, where
<host_name> is the host where the SAPinst GUI is displayed.
■ Make sure that your SAPINST_JRE_HOME environment variable is set to a valid Java Runtime
Environment (JRE).

■ During the installation, the default ports 21200, 21212, and 4239 are used for communication
between SAPinst, GUI server, SAPinst GUI, and HTTP server, as follows:
● SAPinst uses port 21200 to communicate with the GUI server.
● The GUI server uses port 21212 to communicate with SAPinst GUI.
● 4239 is the port of the HTTP server, which is part of the GUI server.
If these ports are already in use, SAPinst automatically searches for free port numbers. If the search
fails, you see an error message and SAPinst exits.
In this case or if you want SAPinst to use specific ports, open a command prompt and change to
the required directory as follows:
cd /d <drive>:\DATA_UNITS\IM_WINDOWS_<platform>.
Execute sapinst.exe with the following commands:
● SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<port_number_sapinst_to_gui_server>
● GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=<port_number_gui_server_to_sapinst_gui>
● GUISERVER_HTTP_PORT=<port_number_http_server>

Troubleshooting
CAUTION
If an export process aborts due to a hardware failure (for example, file system full), 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.
You can subsequently 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. Currently it is not possible
to automatically distribute the export over different file systems.
■ If an error occurs during the dialog phase, SAPinst:
● Stops the export.
● Displays a dialog that informs you about the error.
You can now directly view the log file by choosing View Logs.
Finally you must abort the export with OK and try to solve the problem.
■ If an error occurs during the processing phase, SAPinst:
● Stops the export.
● Displays a dialog that informs you about the error.
You can now:
● Directly view the log file by choosing View Logs.
● Try to solve the problem.
● Continue the export by choosing Retry.
● Abort the export by choosing OK.

8.2.2 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.
CAUTION
If you stop an option in the Execute phase, any system or component installed by this option
is incomplete and not ready to be used. Any system or component uninstalled by this option
is not completely uninstalled.
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.
