1 Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver
This document explains how to copy SAP systems in one run using either database-independent
methods or database-specific methods.
You perform the system copy using the installation tool software provisioning manager 1.0 (“installer”
for short).
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
■ Software Provisioning Manager
Software provisioning manager is the successor of the product- and release-specific delivery of
provisioning tools, such as SAPinst. Before you perform an installation or system copy, we
recommend that you always download the latest version of the software provisioning manager [page 19], which
is part of the Software Logistics Toolset (SL Toolset for short). This way, you automatically get the
latest SAPinst version including latest fixes in the tool and supported processes. For more
information about software provisioning manager as well as products and releases supported by
it, see SAP Note 1680045.
As a result, SAPinst has been renamed to software provisioning manager (installer for short) in
this documentation. However, the term “SAPinst” is still used in:
● Texts and screen elements in the software provisioning manager GUI
● Naming of executables, for example sapinst
● Naming of Command line parameters, for example SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME
● Operating system user groups, for example additional group sapinst
■ System Copy
1 Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver
1.1 Terminology
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 7/146
Duplication of an SAP system. Certain SAP parameters might change in a copy. When you perform
a system copy, the installer 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
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
NOTE
Database ID <DBSID> identifies the database instance. The installer prompts you for the <DBSID>
when you are installing the database instance.
The <DBSID> can be the same as the <SAPSID>.
1.2 Online Information from SAP
Before you start the system copy, you must read the documentation that is referenced in the following:

■ 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.

1.4 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
■ 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 system ID and SID (SAPSID = SID = SAP system name)
▶ Host name
▶ IP addresses
▶ Services and ports
▶ Logical destinations and logical system names
▶ Other technical infrastructure names
◆ Use file system persistency.
◆ Set up dependencies between Java and ABAP.

2 Planning
This section describes how to plan your system copy.
You can use the system copy for 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 allows you to 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. Perform a test run of the system copy. You can use the time taken by the test run to calculate the
system downtime:
■ 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
2 Planning
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 13/146
the target system, and imported there. System downtime is approximately equal to the total
test time (that is, time for export, transport, and import).
■ If you do not want to replace your source system, a partial test run (export of the entire database
or parts of it) can be sufficient to calculate the system downtime. The source system is only
down for the time of the export.
Calculating the system downtime is particularly important for very large databases (VLDB)
or when tapes are being used. The test run is also to determine the amount of export data.
Choose the best data transfer method (for example, FTP or tape). We recommend that you
only perform read/write actions on local file systems.
3. Define a schedule for the test run and the final system copy.
When copying a system that contains production data choose the right time for the copy. This
could be a month-end or year-end closing.
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 47] using tools provided by the database vendor
Some database vendors offer specific tools for copying a database. These tools allow you to:
◆ Restore a backup of one database (source database) in another one (target database)
(backup method)
◆ Unload the source database and load the data into the target database
● Copy single instances only
◆ Copy the primary application server instance only [page 87].
◆ Copy the database only (using database move) [page 87]
◆ Copy the database only (using database refresh) [page 89]
CAUTION
You cannot copy single usage types or components!
■ 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 Planning
14/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
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] for your
release at:
Function-Oriented View <Language> 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] for your release at:
Function-Oriented View <Language> Solution Life Cycle Management Data Archiving .
Access to archive files is platform-independent.
■ Configuration analysis and hardware analysis
You need to determine the:
● Number of application servers
● Expected size of the database
● Additional disks or other hardware required
● Required memory
NOTE
See the section on hardware and software requirements in the SAP system installation
documentation to determine the system requirements.

3 Preparations
Before you start the system copy, you must perform the following preparation steps:
3.1 General Technical Preparations
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 Administration Information in the SAP Library [page 9] for your release.
Procedure
1. 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.
2. Only valid for: IBM DB2 for i5/OS |
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.End of: IBM DB2 for i5/OS |
3. Check if canceled or pending update requests exist in the system. If canceled or pending updates
exist, you must update these again or delete them from all clients. Proceed as follows:
1. Call transaction SM13.
2. Delete the default values for the client, user, and time.
3. Choose all update requests.
4. Check if table VBDATA contains any entries. If there are entries, update or delete the
corresponding update requests.
5. To check whether this action was successful, call transaction SE16 for table VBDATA.
4. Set all released jobs from Released to Scheduled (transaction SM37).
You also need to do this for jobs that must run periodically (see SAP Note 16083). To select all jobs
(include start after event), choose Job Released Scheduled
5. Adapt the operation mode timetable to make sure that no switching of operating modes takes
place while a system is being copied (transaction SM63).
3 Preparations
3.1 General Technical Preparations
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 17/146
6. Write down the logical system names of all clients:
■ 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.
■ 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 your system copy is used to replace hardware for the DB server, migrate to a different database
system or operating system (that is, source system for the copy is the same as the copy target),
no changes to logical system names are required.
7. Before you run the export and after you have performed several checks, delete QCM tables on the
source system. Proceed as follows:
1. Before you delete the QCM tables, ensure 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.
8. 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) .
■ 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)
3 Preparations
3.1 General Technical Preparations
18/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
Make sure that no customer data is changed in the meantime.
9. 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 Preparing the Installation Media
This section describes how to prepare the installation media.
Prerequisites
Make sure the latest version of the SAPCAR archiving tool is available on each installation host. You
require the SAPCAR archiving tool to be able to unpack software component archives (*.SAR files), which
is the format of software life-cycle media and tools that you can download from the SAP software
distribution center.
If required, you can download the latest version of SAPCAR from:
http://service.sap.com/swdc Support Packages and Patches A – Z Index S SAPCAR
3 Preparations
3.2 Preparing the Installation Media
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 19/146
For more information about SAPCAR, see SAP Note 212876.
Procedure
1. Identify the required media as listed below.
SAP Instance Required Folder of Software Packages from Media
Central services instance for ABAP (ASCS)
■ Software provisioning manager 1.0 archive SWPM10SP<support package number>_<version
number>.SAR
The software provisioning manager 1.0 archive containing the installer as such.You always have to download the latest version of the software provisioning manager 1.0 archive.
■ UC or NUC Kernel (folder K_<N or U>_<Version>_<OS>) where U means Unicode and N means non-Unicode.
NOTE
Every new installation of an SAP system is Unicode. You can only use the non- Unicode kernel if you perform the system copy for a non-Unicode SAP system that has been upgraded to the current release.
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.
1. Download the latest version of the software provisioning manager 1.0 archive
SWPM10SP<support package number>_<version number>.SAR from:
http://service.sap.com/swdc Support Packages and Patches A – Z Index S SL Toolset SL
Toolset <Release> Entry by Component Software Provisioning Manager Software Provisioning Manager
1.0 <Operating System>
2. Unpack the software provisioning manager archive to a local directory using the following
command:
SAPCAR –xvf <download directory>/<path>/<Archive>.SAR -R <unpack directory>
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.

4 Database Independent System Copy
With the SAP installation tool, you can export and import your ABAP database in a database-
independent format. The installer uses the R3load tool.
R3load generates a database export of all SAP objects that are defined in the ABAP Dictionary and
archives the configuration and components in the file system.
NOTE
Make sure that you have the most recent version of the R3load tool, which you can find at
http://service.sap.com .
Constraints
R3load Restrictions
■ The installer generates a database dump of all SAP objects that are defined in the ABAP Dictionary
(R3load). Other objects are not exported by the installer.
■ 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.
Only valid for: UNIX;Windows |
Existing Target System
NOTE
This information does not apply if your database is SAP HANA database.
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.End of: UNIX;Windows |
4 Database Independent System Copy
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 21/146
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 the installer
to 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 enabled by default. If
you select the splitting option (if you did not already perform some tests before), using the splitting
tool parameters selected by the installer 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)

24/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
Procedure
1. Log on to the system as a system administrator in a productive client.
2. Call transaction SE38 and run the program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL.
3. Select the target database. Depending on the database manufacturer, you might need to select the
database version. The value help supports you in selecting the database version.
NOTE
Only enter a database version that is available in the value help.
4. You are able to select Unicode Migration if you also wish to perform a Unicode system copy (from
Unicode to Unicode) or a Unicode conversion (from non-Unicode to Unicode).
5. Specify an empty working directory to which the files generated by the report are to be written.
6. If required, you can restrict the generation of DDL statements to specific table types or individual
tables.
7. Execute the program.
The DDL statements are generated and are written to the specified directory.
NOTE
Ensure that the user <SAPSID>adm of the target system has read access to the generated SQL
files.
From there, the installer copies them to the <export dump directory>/ABAP/DB export 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.
For additional database-specific information, see also SAP Note 888210.
4.3 Preparing the Table Split
The R3ta tool processes large tables. Instead of exporting/importing one table with one R3load process,
the table is processed in, for example, 10 entities. Each entity can be processed by different R3load
processes. The advantages of splitting the tables are:
■ Large tables are processed in smaller packages. If the export or import of a table aborts with an
error, only the processing of the package where the error occurred has to be repeated and not for
the complete table.
■ The export and import of one table can be performed in parallel by starting several R3load processes
to work on some packages in parallel.
Prerequisites
■ The export and import 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 99].

■ 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 section Creating a Temporary Index.
Restrictions
■ Only tables that are described in the SAP dictionary can be split.
■ The following tables cannot be split:
● DDNTF
● DDNTF_CONV_UC
● DDNTT
● DDNTT_CONV_UC
● DDLOG (is never copied, but created empty in the target system)

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.
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 IM_<OS>). 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
Only valid for: IBM DB2 for z/OS |
IBM DB2 z/OS only: Create the corresponding temporary index on the database with database tools.
Only create a temporary index if you want to perform an unsorted unload. This is the case when you
use a DDLDB2.TPL file with no ORDER_BY_PKEY and the R3load does not overrule this setting. Which
tables cannot be unloaded unsorted is described in SAP Note 954268.End of: IBM DB2 for z/OS |
Only valid for: IBM DB2 for z/OS |

This procedure tells you how to run the installer to export the database of your SAP system. The
installer includes the installer GUI and a GUI server, which both use Java.
This section describes a standard export where the installer, the installer GUI, and the GUI server are
running on the same host. If required, you can instead perform a remote system copy with the installer,
where the installer GUI is running on a separate host from the installer and the GUI server. For more
information, see Performing a Remote Installation [page 124].
For more information about the installer, see Useful Information About the Installer [page 118].
Prerequisites
CAUTION
Make sure that you shut down all SAP application servers before the export. The database must
still be running. Otherwise, the target system might be inconsistent.

This section describes an export where the installer and the installer GUI server runs on the host and
the GUI runs on a Windows 32-bit host.
NOTE
When you start the installer, the installer GUI server is also started. The installer GUI connects
using a secure SSL connection to the GUI server and the GUI server connects to the installer.
For more information about the installer, see Useful Information About the Installer [page 118].
Procedure
1. 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 38].
CAUTION
Do not user existing <SID>ADM user.
Make sure that the installation user has not set any environment variables for a different SAP
system or database.
2. Make the required media available on your host.
For more information about making the installation media available, see Copying the Installation Media
Manually Using the ROOTBIN Share [page 39].
3. Start the installer in one of the following ways:
■ Using the default installation directory (recommended)
Enter the following commands:
CD DIR(<path to unpack directory>)
CALL PGM(QP2TERM) PARM('./sapinst' '-nogui)
NOTE
● As a default, there is no GUI on IBM i, so you cannot see an installer Welcome screen.
You must start the installer GUI separately on a Windows 32-bit platform. For more
information, see Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page 128].
● For advanced users only:
PASE, which is similar to AIX, allows you to set the DISPLAY variable. If your X server
for Microsoft Windows or Linux is already configured and running, you can try to
direct the graphical output of SAPinst to an 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.

4.5.2.2 Preparing an IBM i User Profile
For the installation you need to create a user account on the IBM i you want to install.
The following requirement applies:
■ The IBM i user profile must have user class *SECOFR and all special authorities that belong to user
QSECOFR.
Procedure
NOTE
The user name SAPIUSR and the password SAP are used in the procedures as examples.
IBM i:
Execute the following command:
CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(SAPIUSR) PASSWORD(SAP) USRCLS(*SECOFR) TEXT('Test User for SAP
Installation') SPCAUT(*USRCLS) LANGID(ENU) CNTRYID(US) CCSID(500) LOCALE(*NONE)
NOTE
In previous releases, we recommended that you create the user SAPINST on IBM i to install the
SAP system. In the current release, a group SAPINST is created generically on all platforms and
used for the installation and SAP system. If a user SAPINST already exists on your system, you must
delete this user. If you do not want to delete this user for any reason, you must add to the user
profile SAPINST the feature of a group by adding SAPINST to the group of a different user profile
such as SAPIUSER. To do this, use the following command:
CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(SAPIUSR) GRPPRF(SAPINST)
Now the user SAPINST can also be used as a group by the installer.

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
IBM i System Director Navigator. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Start the IBM i System Director 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 folder Shared Objects to 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 command prompt on Windows, choose Start Run .
2. Enter cmd.exe.
3. Press OK.
The command prompt appears.
4. In the command prompt, enter net use.
All network connections to shared resources are displayed.
5. Check if you have a connection to your IBM i.
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.5 Exporting the Source System Using the Installer
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 39/146
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 SAPIUSR, see Preparing an IBM i User Profile [page 38].
6. To change to the new network drive, enter X: in the command prompt.
7. Create the subdirectories in your IFS where you want to copy the required media.
For each media, enter:
mkdir \tmp\<sid>\<media_name> or
mkdir \tmp\<sid>\<path to unpack directory>
NOTE
You must avoid blanks or commas in the media path name.
8. Copy the installation media from your Windows drive (for example D:\) or your download
directory 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\<unpack directory> X:\tmp\<sid>\<unpack directory> /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:
■ IM_OS400_PPC64
■ K_<version>_<U or N>_OS400_PPC64
■ EXP*
■ JAVA*
■ SL_CONTROLLER*

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 115]) 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:
● 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 “–”.

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 the installer or the Migration Monitor to proceed with the system copy.

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 44].
■ If you did not prepare the export [page 28] on the source system, you install the database instance of the
target system [page 44]
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
This section describes how to transfer the complete export directory with its structure and the generated
DBSIZE.XML file 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 media or export files).
Otherwise, the installer does not ask you to specify the export directory and automatically
chooses one that you may not want to use. In this case, the installer 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.
4 Database Independent System Copy
4.6 Setting Up the Target System
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 43/146
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.
4.6.2 Installing the Target System
This section describes how to set up the target system using the installer.
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

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 |
NOTE
The installer automatically performs a reload. If the database software has already been unpacked
or installed, or if the database already exists, the installer recognizes this automatically and skips
the related steps.

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 the installer for the installation on the target system host as described in the installation
documentation for your SAP component. Only the installer 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.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.1 Oracle-Specific Procedure
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 49/146
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).
■ 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.
If your source system uses the US7ASCII character set, you must choose this character set when
installing the target system. The installer 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 directory to which you unpacked the
SWPM10SP<support package number>_<version number>.SAR file and extract it using SAPCAR.
You can find the archive in the following directory:
UNIX: <path to unpack directory>/COMMON/INSTALL/ORA/ORABRCOPY.SAR
Windows: <path to unpack directory>\COMMON\INSTALL\ORA\ORABRCOPY.SAR
3. Make sure that all redo log groups are archived.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.1 Oracle-Specific Procedure
50/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
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:
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.

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.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.1 Oracle-Specific Procedure
54/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
■ 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.

The installer 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 the installer.
■ Automatic restore
The installer 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.
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
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.2 SAP MaxDB-Specific Procedure
60/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
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 the installer prompts you, configure the
database data volumes according to this value.
Process
Steps to Perform on the Target System
1. To import the target system, start the installer as follows and then follow the prompts:
<Your Product> <Your Database> System Copy Target System <System Variant> <Technical
Stack>
2. When the installer prompts for the database copy method, choose Homogeneous System Copy.
3. In the MaxDB Backup Template screen, choose one of the following, Manual Restore, or Restore by
SAPinst:
■ Manual restore
In the execution phase, you are prompted to do the following:
1. Start the data recovery wizard from DBMGUI
1. Register your database instance in the DBMGUI
2. Check the database instance in the admin state.
3. Choose Recovery Recovery with Initialization ...
4. In type of recovery, select Restore a medium.
5. Specify the backup medium.
6. Start the restore procedure.
NOTE
The recovery wizard does not start the recovery immediately. It initializes the
database instance first. It takes some time for the database server to format the
database volumes.
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,
SDBAADAUPD
4. Continue with the installer or restart it if you stopped it during the recovery.

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 installer
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 Note 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 database files from a lower SQL Server release to a higher one, 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 the installer to install the target system by choosing the following on the Welcome screen:
<Your Product> <Your Database> System Copy Target System <System Variant> Based on
<Technical Stack> .
Choose the installation options exactly in the order they appear.

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.
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.
The installer is used for the installation on the target system host as described in the installation
documentation for your SAP component. Before you start the installer 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 installer 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.
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 the installer on the target system host by choosing the following on
the Welcome screen:
<Your Product> <Your Database> System Copy Target System <System Variant> <Technical
Stack>
Perform the installation options in the given sequence and follow the instructions on the installer
dialogs. When the installer 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.

64/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
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.
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
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.4 IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows-Specific Procedures
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 65/146
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
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.

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
the SAV/RSTLIB method.
A system copy consists of the export of the source system and the import of the target system. For the
homogenous system on IBM DB2 for i using the SAV/RSTLIB method you must 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 installer by choosing <Your Product> <Your Database> System Copy Target
System <System Variant> Based on <Technical Stack> . When the installer 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. The installer 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].

5.6 IBM DB2 for z/OS Specific Procedures
In an SAP system environment, you can create a homogeneous system copy of a DB2 database using
the offline system copy method.
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.
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.6 IBM DB2 for z/OS Specific Procedures
68/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
■ 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
■ 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

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:
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.

SQLID and not SAPR3. The naming convention is as follows:
ABAP Storage Group Naming Convention
Schema Storage Group Name
SAPR3 SAP<SI><I|D>
other <SID><SI><I|D>
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.6 IBM DB2 for z/OS Specific Procedures
74/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
NOTE
<SI> signifies the two-character STORAGEID of the table type (TABART).
Java Storage Group Naming Convention
Schema Storage Group Name
<schema> <schema>
CAUTION
For Java, the schema name is also the name of the storage group. You must not change the name
of the storage group. Be aware that as of DB2 V9, you can use the CATMAINT utility to globally
switch a schema name.
Output
The output of this statement is similar to the following:
EXAMPLE

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.
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:
MODE (QUIESCE)
5.6.6 Step 6: Making Copies of Source Data Sets
With this step, you make copies of the source data sets, which includes:
■ DB2 bootstrap data sets
■ DB2 logcopy data sets
■ All DB2 VSAM data sets belonging to the source system
With these JCL jobs, you can make copies of the source data sets:

The corresponding JCL job is located at
HSCProcedure\Step9a\CHGBSDS2.JCL
in the .zip file.
After changing the BSDS with these scripts, you can start the target system.
5.6.9 Step 9b: Start the Target System
When you start the DB2 target system for the first time, the system is still working with the work file
database of the source system. However, access fails with insufficient access authority, as seen in the
log.

We strongly recommend that you maintain different RACF settings for different DB2 subsystems. If
not, the target system has access to the data sets of the source system and the data of the source system
could be changed by mistake.
The work file database data must be changed later in the clone process.

database.
5.6.16 Step 9i: Adjusting the DDF Location Name and Port Number
To allow communication with the SAP application servers of the DB2 target system, you must adjust
the DDF location name and port number.
Procedure
To adjust the DDF location name and port number, run the DB2 utility DSNJU003 with the option
DDF to specify the location name and port number.
5.6.17 Step 10 (DB2 V8 and Lower): Changing the VCAT of the Target System
The target system with the new HLQ D8B0 still works with storage groups using VCAT D8A0.
In the following steps, the DB2 catalog is manipulated by stopping the databases, altering tablespaces
and indexes, dropping and creating storage groups with the new VCAT D8B0, altering tablespaces and
indexes using the new storage groups, and starting all databases.
The objects to be manipulated are identified by the results of previously described SQL statements.

5.6.19 Step 11 (DB2 V9): Changing the Schema of the Target System
To change the schema or creator name of your SAP tables and indexes, proceed as follows. This approach
requires that you have previously started R3ldctl on your source system to capture the view definitions
of the SAP system.
Procedure
1. If user-defined materialized query tables or triggers exist, save their definitions in a separate place.
2. Delete all views, materialized query tables, and triggers that exist on the SAP tables.
3. Ensure that the DB2 EMD pool and DB2 EDM DBD cache have at least the following sizes:
■ EDMPOOL ≥ 200000 KB
■ EDMDBDC ≥ 300000 KB
4. Call the CATMAINT utility with the SCHEMA SWITCH option to switch the schema name.
5. Reinstate the original sizes of EDMPOOL and EDMDBDC.
6. Start the DB2 subsystem in regular mode.
7. Recreate the views by implementing the following steps:
1. Generate the R3load task files by submitting the following command:
R3load -ctf I SAPVIEW.STR DDLDB2.TPL SAPVIEW.TSK DB2 -l SAPVIEW.log
2. Create an SAPVIEW.cmd file to prepare the recreation of the views. This file can contain the
following lines for example:
EXAMPLE
tsk: "SAPVIEW.TSK"
icf: "SAPVIEW.STR"
dcf: "DDLDB2.TPL"
dat: null
dir: null
ext: null
3. Call R3load with the option
-i SAPVIEW.cmd -dbcodepage <codepage> -l SAPVIEW.log
to re-create the views.
8. If user-defined materialized query tables or triggers exist, re-create them.

5.7 Sybase ASE Server-Specific Procedure
This section describes how to perform a homogeneous system copy of a Sybase ASE database by using
the backup/restore method, or the detach/attach method in an SAP environment. The installer
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.
■ You can copy the complete database software and database devices (all files below <drive>:\sybase
\<DBSID> (Windows) or /sybase/<DBSID> (UNIX)) to the target system and use this copy to create
the target system.
■ These methods are faster than the database-independent method [page 21].
For more information about migrating to Sybase ASE, see also SAP Note 1697542
Procedure
Before you start the system copy procedure, implement SAP Note 1612437.
1. Provide the database files required for the target system setup using one of the following ways:
■ Detach the database files from the source system database with a database manifest file (Sybase
ASE command quiesce database to manifest_file).
■ Create a backup (Sybase ASE command dump database).
2. Copy the files to the target system.
3. Run the installer to install the target system by choosing the following on the Welcome screen:
<SAP Product> Sybase ASE System Copy Target System <System Variant> Based on <Technical
Stack>
NOTE
■ Choose the installation services in exactly the order they appear. For more information,
see the Sybase ASE installation guide for your SAP system at: http://service.sap.com/
installnw73.
■ On the installer screen SAP SystemDatabase, make sure that you select Homogeneous System
Copy (Sybase ASE-specific: Detach/Attach or Backup/Restore).
5 Database-Specific System Copy
5.7 Sybase ASE Server-Specific Procedure
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 85/146
■ The installer asks you if you want to use either an already existing Sybase ASE installation
on the target system or the database software from the installation media.
■ Depending on the method chosen, you have to enter either the path to the database
dump files or the location of the database manifest file. The installer tries to find the
database devices mentioned in the manifest file automatically, otherwise it asks for the
files during the installer execution phase.

34] to perform the export.
2. If you perform the export using R3load/Jload, on the Welcome screen, choose <Your Product>
<Your Database> 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.
3. On the target system, stop all SAP instances.
4. Run the installer and choose <Your Product> <Your Database> 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.
Use the command DSPJOBLOG to analyze any upcoming error. After the libraries are deleted
successfully, you can start the installer.
End of: IBM i5/OS |

ABAP Only Trust Manager Creating PSEs and Maintaining the PSE Infrastructure 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 server groups.
Call transaction RZ12 and change the instance name of RFC server groups under Group assignment.

NOTE
If you did not change the SAP system ID during the system copy, all open transport,
repair, and customizing requests that have not been released in the source system will
not be released automatically.
18. Make data 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) accessible in the target system.
Adapt the file residence information in the target system. For more information, see Constraints
[page 10] and the SAP Library [page 9] for your release at:
Function-Oriented View <Language> Solution Life Cycle Management Data Archiving .
19. Check self-defined external commands (transaction SM69).
20. Check the logical system names. For more information, see Preparations [page 17]. If you need to
change logical system names in the system that results from the copy, change the logical system

variant SAP&POSTMGRDB. If you did not change the database management system when copying the
system, you have to start program RS_BW_POST_MIGRATION in the background by using variant
SAP&POSTMGR. Program RS_BW_POST_MIGRATION performs necessary modifications on database-
specific objects (mainly BI objects).
26. Generate the ABAP load.
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 installer, 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 109].
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
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 properties file of the Migration Monitor. Packages not listed in the
DDL mapping file use the default DDL control file.

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

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
You can ensure this by using the Defining Groups of Packages [page 107] 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

8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
108/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
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:
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 41]).
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 100]). 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.

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.
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 113/146
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).
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 |

table:
Value Description
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=++.
The format of state lines is <PACKAGE>=<STATE>. Possible values for state are listed in the following

+- 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 115])
allow package states to be manually updated to restart failed R3load processes.
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
2012-09-25 CUSTOMER 115/146
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
This section describes the steps that you have to perform to install 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).
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 the installer:
■ <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 the installer as described in the installation documentation for your SAP component.
8 Additional Information
8.1 R3load Procedures Using the Migration Monitor
116/146 CUSTOMER 2012-09-25
3. To install the target system, follow the instructions in the installer 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 the installer 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 the installer. The import is
continued with the table that was not imported successfully.

8.2.1 Useful Information About the Installer
This section provides information to consider when performing the export with the installer.
Integration
■ When you start the installer, the GUI, and the GUI server are also started. The installer GUI connects
using a secure SSL connection to the GUI server and the GUI server connects to the installer.
Only valid for: UNIX |
■ The installer normally creates the directory sapinst_instdir directly below the temporary
directory. The installer finds the temporary directory by checking the value of the environment
variables TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR. If no value is set for these variables, the installer uses /tmp as default
directory.
■ The installer Self-Extractor extracts the installer executables to the temporary directory. These
executables are deleted again after the installer has stopped running. If required, you can terminate
the installer and the installer Self-Extractor by pressing Ctrl+C.End of: UNIX |
Only valid for: Windows |
■ The installer normally creates the installation directory sapinst_instdir, where it keeps its log
files, and which is located directly in the Program Files directory. If the installer is not able to
create sapinst_instdir directly below the Program Files directory, the installer tries to create
sapinst_instdir in the directory defined by the environment variable TEMP.
■ The installer creates a subdirectory for each installation option, called <sapinst_instdir>
\<installation_option>, which is located in %ProgramFiles%.
■ The installer Self-Extractor extracts the executables to a temporary directory (TEMP, TMP,
TMPDIR, or SystemRoot). These executables are deleted after the installer 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 installer Self-Extractor log file dev_selfex.out, which
might be useful if an error occurs.
If you want to terminate the installer and the installer Self-Extractor, do one of the following:
● Right-click the icon for the installer output window located in the Windows tray and choose
Exit.
● Click the icon for the installer output window located in the Windows tray and choose File
Exit .End of: Windows |

Troubleshooting during the Export Process
Processing Phase
If the export process aborts during the processing phase (for example, due to a hardware failure, such
as power outage, operating system crash, file system full), you have to repeat the export of the complete
package.
1. Remove the <package>.<nnn> dump files, the <package>.TOC file, and the <package>.log file.
2. Make sure that all tables in the <package>.*TSK* file have the status flag xeq or err set.
3. Repeat the export of the complete package.
Dialog Phase
If an error occurs during the dialog phase, the installer stops and displays a dialog that informs you
about the error.
You can now:
■ View the log file directly by choosing View Logs.
■ Try to solve the problem.
■ Stop the process by choosing Cancel in the installer menu.

Only valid for: UNIX |
System Copy – export on UNIX (especially for upgraded systems)
Symptom:
Processes started as <sapsid>adm or ora<sid> OS users cannot create or open files in the installation
directory.
Reason:
Only members of sapinst UNIX group can access the installation directory. This group is created by
the installer as of SAP NetWeaver 7.1.
Solution:
1. Manually associate <sapsid>adm and ora<sid> OS users with sapinst group if this association is
missing.
2. Verify the /etc/group file and check if the sapinst group exists and OS users are members of this
group.
3. If the sapinst group does not exist yet, start the installer. The installer creates this group during
startup before the product catalog list is displayed.
4. Edit /etc/group file and associate OS users with sapinst group.
5. Continue with the export.End of: UNIX |

NOTE
All actions taken by the installation before you stopped it (like creating directories, or users) will not be revoked.
EXAMPLE

CAUTION
The installer moves all the files and folders to a new log directory, even if these files and folders are owned by other users. If there are any processes currently running on these files and folders, they might no longer function properly.
Continue with the old option The installer continues the interrupted installation from the point of failure.
8.2.3 Performing a Remote Installation
You use this procedure to install your SAP system on a remote host. In this case, the installer and the
GUI server run on the remote host, and the installer GUI client (the “installer GUI” for short) runs on
the local host. The local host is the host from which you control the installation with the installer GUI.
Only valid for: IBM i5/OS;UNIX |
If your security policy requires that the person performing the installation by running the installer
GUI on the local host is not allowed to know root credentials on the remote host, you can specify
another operating system user for authentication purposes. You do this using the
SAPINST_REMOTE_ACCESS_USER parameter when starting the sapinst executable from the command
line. You have to confirm that the user is a trusted one. For more information, see SAP Note
1745524.End of: IBM i5/OS;UNIX |

The database load is divided into several sections, which are performed in parallel. Each section writes
a log file to your installation directory. The names of these files are as follows:
■ SAP0000.log
■ SAPUSER.log
■ SAPSSRC.log
■ SAPSSEXC.log
■ SAPSPROT.log
■ SAPSLOAD.log
■ SAPSLEXC.log
■ SAPSDIC.log
■ SAPSDOCU.log
■ SAPPOOL.log
■ SAPCLUST.log
■ SAPAPPL2.log
■ SAPAPPL1.log
■ SAPAPPL0.log
■ SAPVIEW.log
■ SAPDDIM.log
■ SAPDFACT.log
■ SAPDODS.log
Procedure
1. If errors occur during database load find out which load process failed by checking the log files.
You can do this by entering:
EDTF '/tmp/sapinst_instdir/<INSTDIR>/<log_file>.log'
EXAMPLE
EDTF '/tmp/sapinst_instdir/<INSTDIR>/SAPSDIC.log'
The log file contains additional information about the status of the job and the corresponding IBM
i job.

2. Scroll to the bottom of this file and check the error message.
The start of each import attempt is logged to this file and looks like this:
TS61CEO34/R3LOADDB4: START OF LOG: 20010926170456
TS61CEO34/R3LOADDB4: sccsid @(#) $Id:
//bas/620_COR/src/R3ld/R3load/R3ldmain.c#4 $ SAP

TS61CEO34/R3LOADDB4 -i SAPSDIC.cmd -p SAPSDIC.log -nojournal
-datacodepage 1100 -dbcodepage 0120
...
No Journaling During the Database Load
You should keep in mind that the new tables are not journaled during the database load. Therefore,
you receive the following message:
SQL7905 Information 20 10/21/01 17:18:38 QSQCRTT QSYS 1013 QSQCRTT
Message . . . . : Table <table_name> in R3<SID>DATA created but could not be journaled.
You can ignore this message. Journaling is switched on later.End of: IBM i5/OS |
