Database Refresh Procedure

Introduction

A Database refresh/copy consists of three sections or units of work: - Pre Copy steps - Restoring/Copying the database files - Post Copy Steps.

Note : The method of copying the database files depends on if the target system has the same number and size of file systems or greater to accommodate the source system.

Below are the steps to be followed during refresh, Commands shown in this document are for AIX 5.3 platform.

Pre Copy steps

2.1

Verify the passwords in the source and target systems

Before you Proceed with the refresh you should have the login credentials in both Source and Target system with Enough Authorisations ( Super user with sap_all and sap_new profiles) (both OS and SAP level)

2.2

Check Space in Target System

Make sure that you have enough space in the Target System, equal to or more than in the Source System. Check via command (on both Source and Target Systems): As user root

df -k | grep sapdata | sort

Also make sure that the space in origlogA & B and mirrlogA & B is the same or more in the Target system as compared to the source system. If they are not the same size, they must be removed from the target and the file systems are enlarged to allow them to be built to the Source sizes. Check via As user root: df -k | grep log| sort

Additional Checks for storage inAPO? LCA system


v The size of /sapdb/<TARGET SID> should be greater than or equal to /sapdb/<SOURCE SID> in the live cache host

Additional Checks for storage inAPO? LCA system


v The size of /sapdb/<TARGET SID> should be greater than or equal to /sapdb/<SOURCE SID> in the live cache host

Example: If source is SSID and target system is TSID (df ?gt) /dev/lvusp_ssid_002 /dev/lvusp_tsid_002 58.88 70.00 0.97 0.91 57.90 69.09 2% /sapdb/SSID 2% /sapdb/TSID

v In both systems go to T-code LC10 -> Live cache Monitoring -> Administration -> Configuration -> Volumes v Select Data area tab; size of the Data area in Target system should be greater than that of the Data area in Source system, irrespective of the number of data volumes present

Source system(Source SID(SSID))

Target System(Target SID(TSID))

If the size of data area is less than the source system then add data volumes

2.3

OpenSSH to OpenSSH trust (host based trust)

Server which will be trusted for root login (referred to as ?trusted server?): Open the connection between Source system and Target system, Just in case you want to transfer any file during refresh. You can do so by directly using Secure copy command In Target System # cd /etc/ssh # cat ssh_host_dsa_key.pub (Example shown below) ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAPyNO8hfzk9+WBS5nOSAhmu/eVE9+4t6Wd5sGRwWNAdyDtFF9ux/CKcgeK8o2OPFSeCcuNi w8d3NOHLCLHNjB6lH8V3L9R8+7b8hDpfpZ4fxcYKlP6W/EXHyWuv8DrEyCdyaFbYNzul7JaJx1j5lOEUa6TFJDbouqRsp/Mw0 jsbBAAAAFQD4kBx7i/53NeFZ7C2GXIEDL+mAuwAAAIBzbYbmh8xDG0DQzMt6Ury0aqyDoawbnEq9uAlulvcheivO2VnZfqO 9HEFd18JPIXTLWTCjtriE/6zpsgUR9oR2PCMbNW9S+PtIZ5HZ4NbTlCvF7gNxlibZ4sAB5e6zbb3Xso59K9H6m0lFNZFKrg/P0v WumYtGEw/n16tUr9LxRwAAAIEAjf+4Eis9/ippFAeNIVfKL28KlYrqlcdBHIhE/wy6/HEvAoNZ3fdxMjzvgn8gtEpzsy1+gql3o00u SJiNJKcMDzREfPqqxtu7lttOT9VYFM9mGFaLW+eBWh+6I+9HHdewS4A1/F7zwxQ5QLyB5puKNs05qofObC4vpfC3R/kOFMQ = (NOTE : The hostkey above is a single line?NOT multiple lines and must be copied over as a single line) On Server allowing the root trust (referred to as the ?trusting server?):(Source system) # cd /etc/ssh # vi ssh_known_hosts (go to the last line of the file, using Shift-G in vi, and open a line at the bottom using the ?o? vi command) (using existing lines as a reference, enter the name of the trusted server, along with the fully qualified DNS name, followed by the hostkey found in the previous step.

2.4

Verify Oracle control file directories on target server

Logon to the target system


- as ora<target_sid> - cd dbs The following command will display three directories where the controlfiles will be written grep dbf init<TSID>.ora According to the standards they should be in /oracle/<SID>/cntrl, /oracle/<SID>/sapdata1/cntrl and /oracle/<SID>/sapdata2/cntrl - ls ?l /oracle/<TSID>/cntrl - ls ?l /oracle/<TSID>/sapdata1/cntrl - ls ?l /oracle/<TSID>/sapdata2/cntrl

If not ensure that these directories are created and a copy of Control file is moved to them. 2.5 Export Target SID/Client Users & retain user master records

This step only applies to those projects where the user master records are to be retained in the target system. Log on to the SAP target system clients that need to have users preserved. Execute transaction SCC8 Select profile: SAP_USER Target system: use ? DUM?. YOU MUST FILL THIS VALUE IN OR IT WILL NOT WORK

Click execute button, click continue button and STOP AT INFO CLIENT EXPORT SCREEN!

Perform the following before proceeding with SAP screen. On the Info Client Export screen, STOP! and document the transport number displayed with the format: <sid>KTnnnnnnn

This step will fail if files exist in the transport directories with the same number.You must delete all cofiles, data files, and log files with the same number before starting the new export. Here?s an example taken to find everything related to transport su ? <sid>adm - cd /usr/sap/trans - find ./data ./cofiles ?name ?*00017.SID? ?exec ls ?lastr {} ; If any files are found, verify they are the correct files and can be removed, then remove them (consult if you aren?t sure) else rename them with extension .old: - find ./data ./cofiles ./log ?name ?*00017.<SID>? ?exec rm {} ; Verify that the files were successfully removed: - find ./data ./cofiles ./log ?name ?*00017.<SID>? ?exec ls ?lastr {} ;

- Now, return to SAP screen and click the green check mark to start the export. Remarks: - If DUMMY system is not there, select any SID except the SID name you are exporting from. YOU MUST FILL A SID IN OR IT WILL NOT WORK. Note: 1) Monitor the job using SCC3 logs. At first the log may indicate an error in the processing. Just wait about 3-5 minutes and check again. Always look to the date/time field to verify the correct logfile. Also, after SCC3 indicates it?s successful you must check that the transport is completely exported using SE03. MAKE SURE IT COMPLETES WITH RETURN CODE < 8. 2) Sometimes user master export shows COMPLETED status at SAP level but runs for a few minutes in the operating system. Therefore always check the file size until it reaches the saturation at operating system level. Login as sidadm user at os level cd /usr/sap/trans/ find ./data ./cofiles -name ?*00017.<SID>? -exec ls -lastr {} ; the file size should become constant if you again trigger the command.

2.13

Logon Group Names (SMLG and RZ12)

Logon group names are used in projects to accomplish logon load balancing. These logon groups are used in the SAP logon pad to automatically assign users to application servers based on currently application server usage. The spelling of the logon groups are important because the names in the logon pad must match exactly with what is configured in the system. Therefore, it is important to note the SAP logon group names in the target system prior to performing the database copy, because after the copy, the logon group definitions will reflect those of the source system. To retrieve the logon group name(s): - For Target system logon in SAP client, where you have enough authorizations Execute transaction SMLG

- The logon group name(s) will be displayed on the screen. Save a copy of the screen or write down the logon groups. Logon group names are also case-sensitive. RFC server groups are, amongst other things, used for parallel client copies. These RFC server groups must be restored to their current configuration after the refresh. - For Target system logon in SAP client, where you have enough authorizations Execute transaction RZ12

- The RFC server group name(s) will be displayed on the screen. Save a copy of the screen or write down the logon groups. RFC server group names are also case-sensitive.

2.14

Op-mode Snapshot

Again depending on the requestor: normally the same op-mode would be maintained. The Source <SID> and Target <SID> may have different definitions of Op-modes. After a successful database copy the Op-modes in the Target <SID> will be replaced with the Op-modes in the Source <SID>. Therefore, it is important to take a snapshot of the Op-modes in the Target <SID>. Proceed as follows: - For Target system logon in SAP client, where you have enough authorizations - For Target system logon in SAP client, where you have enough authorizations

Execute transaction RZ04 - Double-click on one of the Op-modes or click instance/op-mode in menu bar - Execute menu items System => List => Save => Local file => unconverted. - This will ask for a directory/filename on the local PC to store the information. Make note of the directory/filename for use in the post-processing steps

Check and Save Logical System Definition

Execute SCC4, and double click on all clients. If the field Logical System is not blank, document the name with each client.

2.16

Preserve DB13 entries

As the DB13 tables will be cleared due to the refresh, the entries of the DBA Planning Calendar must be saved. Proceed as follows: - Goto DB13 on the target system. - Make a hardcopy of the screen and/or save it in notepad.

2.17

SAP License Snapshot

The Source <SID> and Target <SID> may have different list of SAP Licenses loaded in the system. After a successful database copy the SAP Licenses in the Target <SID> will be replaced with those in the Source <SID>. Therefore, it is important to take a snapshot of the SAP Licenses in the Target <SID>. Proceed as follows: - Log on to the target system at UNIX as <sid>adm - saplicense ?show > saplicense_<Target_SID>.save

- Make note of the absolute_path/filename (saplicense.save) for use in the Post Copy Steps, should be in /local/users/<sid>adm

2.18

Determine SAP version

This step is important in order to follow these instructions as they are version dependent. - Log on to SAP with your personal id - Enter ?STAT in the transaction field at the top left corner of the screen and press enter. - A pop-up screen appears, the version of SAP is listed in the field named SAP Release (or BasisRelease). - Click red X to exit pop-up.x

Preserve TXCOM table entries


- Log on to SAP with your personal id in client 002 - SM54 - Double click on the entry - Take a screen shot of the entry and copy into a word document and save the document.

This is for saving CPIC destinations for SNC protection

Note: Apart from the steps above we should take care to see that customer specific data is preserved as requested or applicable .

And also note that if source system is at lower level in terms support packages, addons and other applications we might have to upgrade the target system accordingly after refresh if required.

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "SOURCE SID" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG to CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE ?TARGET SID? RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG - Remove also all the 2 lines, at the bottom of the tracefile ? #RECOVER DATABASE

#ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; - Change all source sid to target sid. This can be done by using vi command ? :1,$s/<source sid>/<target sid>/g

- To go into vi mode - To remove all the unwanted lines. All the lines are to be removed until STARTUP NOMOUNT, beginning from first line. Edit the 2nd line as said. - Comment the 3 lines, which is present at the bottom of the tracefile. We do this manually later. - This is an easy command to change all the sid of source system to the sid of target system.

Note :Make sure no new datafile has being added after the backup that is being used. Check by table V$datafile. If yes, edit the trace file(remove the datafile entry that are entered after the backup that if used)

At the end of the tracefile on the BW system you will also find some comments about the TEMP files. For now you need to delete these entries but save them somewhere else, because later you will need them again. Example: ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/PC6/sapdata6/temp_4/temp.data4' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/PC6/sapdata6/temp_3/temp.data3'

Check in the /oracle/<SID>/saptrace/background/alert_<SID>.log for any errors.

Restoring offline redologs


In case a recovery of the database is needed (e.g. after the restore of an online backup, or a point-in-time recovery is needed), offline redologs files needs to be restored from Storage. To know what files you will need you can look in the sourcesystem?s saparch directory. Look for the file arch<SID>.log and decide which files you will need by timestamp. You can also look in SAP (source system) with transaction DB12. To restore redologs you will need to copy the arch<sourcesid>.log to the targetsystems saparch directory - scp /oracle/<sourceSID>/saparch/arch<sourceSID>.log <targetsystem>: /oracle /<targetSID>/saparch On target system: - mv arch<sourceSID>.log arch<targetSID>.log - chown ora<sid>.dba arch<targetSID>.log chmod 660 arch<targetSID>.log

Recovering the database


There are two ways of recovering the database by CANCEL (you decide how many logfiles you want to apply) or by TIMESTAMP. sqlplus> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel; or sqlplus> recover database until time '2004-05-21:10:00:00' using backup controlfile; to apply all required redologs automatically type AUTO after completion we can now open the database by: sqlplus> alter database open resetlogs;

Checking the database


First check if we can stop and start the system without problems. Sqlplus> shutdown immediate Sqlplus> startup Also check the alert_SID.log for any errors.

Recreation of the tempfiles


We need some additional action for BW. Recreation of the tempfiles which you saved at step Error! Reference source not found.

Example for 4 data files in sapdata6:

ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/SSID/sapdata6/temp_4/temp.data4' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/SSID/sapdata6/temp_3/temp.data3' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/SSID/sapdata6/temp_2/temp.data2' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/SSID/sapdata6/temp_1/temp.data1' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF;

- Change sourceSID to targetSID - Create the needed subdorectories in the sapdata filesystem(s) cd /oracle/<targetSID>/sapdata6 mkdir temp_1 mkdir temp_2 mkdir temp_3 mkdir temp_4

- ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/TSID/sapdata6/temp_1/temp.data1' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; - Sqlplus> ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/TSID/sapdata6/temp_2/temp.data2' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; - Sqlplus> ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/TSID/sapdata6/temp_3/temp.data3' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; - Sqlplus> ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/TSID/sapdata6/temp_4/temp.data4' SIZE 1999M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF;

Making locally managed temporary datafiles non-sparse


The added datafiles in the previous step are locally managed temporary datafiles. These kinds of datafiles are created as sparse files (they can grow to the configured size, but initially this amount of space is not yet claimed on the OS level.) This can lead to issues, when the reserved space is claimed by newly added ?normal? datafiles. Therefore, these files need to be change to non-sparse files. - su ? ora<sid>

- sqlplus ?/ as sysdba? - shutdown immediate; - exit; Find enough space (usually 2 Gb is enough) in another filesystem than where the datafile is currently located. The datafile needs to be moved to this other filesystem and back again. This will make the datafile non-sparse. Here is an exampleto move the files. cd /oracle/SID/sapdata3 ora<sid> 40> mv temp2_1/temp2.data1 /oracle/SID/sapdata5/temp2.data1 ora<sid> 41> mv /oracle/SID/sapdata5/temp2.data1 temp2_1/temp2.data1

You can now see that the files are non-sparse and use the entire space in the filesystem. Restart the database.

Create new OPS$ user & drop old OPS$ user


We need to generate a new OPS$ user; su ? ora<sid> - ./CHDBPASS.817 - select option a,c and d .

- cd /sapmnt/<SID>/exe vi CHDBPASS.102 ; Change tablespace PSAPUSER1D into PSAPMIWUSR ; Change SAPR3 into SAPMIW ./CHDBPASS.102 ; option a c d. Set Password as relevant ; for a use schema password. For c d use system password

Later in the post step you can proceed to grant permissions to the user created

Check Archive Log Mode


Check if the database log mode is set on archive mode with sapdba. If not, toggle database log mode.

Start Oracle Listener


The Oracle Listener should also be started Orasid> lsnrctl start

Procedure to Refresh Database from the database residing in the same server

(Relevant only if your standby server resides in the same system of the landscape) For eg: if standby Server of production resides in Acceptance system you can refresh the Acceptance system from the Hotstandy of Production(this is common practice for major clients). If the above condition persist you can proceed with steps specified below

Backup Source controlfile to trace


- Log on to the source (or standby database) system?s as ora<sid> - sqlplus ?/ as sysdba? - alter database backup controlfile to trace; - quit.

- cd /oracle/<sourceSID>/saptrace/usertrace - ls ?altr - Write down the name of the trace file created (we will refer to it as <tracefile>)

Stop Target SAP and Oracle


Note: Downtime starts here

If the target SAP Instance has any application severs, they must be stopped first: Log on to the application servers of the target instance as <sid>adm. Stopsap Logon to the target database server as <sid>adm Stopsap

Remove the database existing on the Target System


Caution: Be careful with following commands! Look twice before pressing enter. You don?t want to remove datafiles belonging to another SID (like the standby database?)

- Logon to the target system as root - cd /oracle/<targetSID> - rm ?r sapdata*/* - cd /oracle/<targetSID>/cntrl - rm *.dbf - cd /oracle/<targetSID>/saparch - rm *.dbf

Stop the hotstandby database


- Logon to the hotstandby system as ora<hotstandbysid> - sqlplus ?/ as sysdba? - shutdown immediate;

Copy the database from hotstandby


Note: If the target system is not on the same server as the hotstandby, make sure that /.rhosts file in the target system contains a row like: <hotstandby system> root

If not, please add this line and don?t forget to remove it when the procedure is completed. Please ensure that the number of sapdata* filesystems for the target SID matches the number of sapdata filesystems for the hotstandby SID?both in number and in size to ensure there is sufficient capacity for the copy process. When performing the steps below, it may be wise to copy and paste, line for line, from the document into the UNIX terminal window because it may be difficult to identify whether you are using the proper character , number, or letter in some cases.

On MC-II systems, the conccurent io (cio) option is turned on on the sapdata and origlog/mirrlog filessytems. As such, to prevent a very slow refresh from the hot-standby system, the cio option needs to be switched off because otherwise the "cp" command will be extremely slow.

Therefore, if the hotstandby system is on MC-II platform, stop the SAP instances running on the hotstandby and target systems if this is not done yet in the previous steps and run the following commands as root to disable the cio option. Not that if both the hotstandby and target systems are on MC-1 platforms, please skip this step and proceed with the next step.

lsfs | grep sapdata | while read lv a fs rest do chfs -a options=rw,nodev,nosuid $fs umount $fs mount $fs done If the target system is not on the same server as the hotstandby Logon to the hotstandby system as root and run the following command:at now for i in `df -Ik |grep sapdata |grep <hotstandbySID> | sed 's/.*sapdata([0-9]*)$/1/' ` do echo $(date): ?Copying /oracle/<hotstandbySID>/sapdata${i} filesystem?? scp ?p ?r /oracle/<hotstandbySID>/sapdata${i}/* <target_server>:/oracle/<targetSID>/sapdata${i} & done | tee -a /tmp/hotstandby_copy.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).log D

Check if all files are copied successfully (this should be the case if there is enough space in sapdata filesystems). It makes sense to check for file sizes and compare with the source files. Now, if the cio option is switched off in one of the above steps, it must be turned on again. To do that, run the following commands on both the hotstandby and target systems:lsfs | grep sapdata | while read lv a fs rest do chfs -a options=rw,nodev,nosuid,cio $fs umount $fs mount $fs done

Perform the following changes: Remove all the starting lines of tracefile until the STARTUP NOMOUNT that precedes the command: CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE <SID> RESETLOGS. Note: With ORACLE 9 the trace file will appear to have duplicate data. The only difference is that it has two stanzas, one with NORESETLOGS and one with RESETLOGS. You want the last one. Change all source sid to target sid. This can be done by using vi command :1,$s/<sourse sid>/<target sid>/g Change the 2nd line from CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE <SID> RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG to CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE <SID> RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG Comment all lines below and including the following 3 lines, at the bottom of the tracefile. #RECOVER DATABASE #ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL; #ALTER DATABASE OPEN; Make sure to comment and make note of any statements at the bottom that have the key word TEMPFILE like the following.

Log on to the source system as root (Noted : Not applicable for hot-standby machine) vi /.shosts remove entry: <targetservername> root

4.2 Fix GLOBAL_NAME parameter in Oracle


SAP recommends to change the GLOBAL_NAME parameter after a change of the SID (which is of course done with a refresh). This is recommended via notes about the homogeneous system copies (for example see note 201149 for 4.6C and 407123 for 6.x).

Change the global name via:

su ? ora<sid> sqlplus ?/ as sysdba? select * from global_name; (this will show an entry for the old DB name) alter database rename global_name to <NEWSID>.world; select * from global_name; (this will now show the right SID, for example)

GLOBAL_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------SID.WORLD

database backup to fail. (find the current SYS/SYSTEM password from warp) su ? orasid sqlplus ?/ as sysdba? SQL> alter user sys identified by password; SQL> alter user system identified by password;

4.4 Fix SAP License Key


After a successful database copy, the SAP license key database will reflect only the key(s) that were in the source system. In order for users to be able to log into the target system, the appropriate license key has to be installed. Some projects install all of their project license keys in all systems so that this step can be eliminated. If the license key is not installed, proceed as follows:

Logon to the target system as <sid>adm

- cat saplicense.save

- saplicense ?install Answer all questions with values provided by saplicense.save

Note: For NW07 systems with digitally-signed licenses e.g. Gchem CRM, this will not work.

In the SAP menu choose Administration Administration SAP Licenses or call transaction SLICENSE. - Click New Licenses - Delete the license from the source system - Install the license for the target system.

4.5 Cleanup /sapmnt/SID/global


Before starting SAP we have to remove the WF_LOG files and other directories in the /sapmnt/SID/global/ directory on the target system. Since the files in the /sapmnt/SID/global directory are related to the Oracle database on the system, all these files can be

removed when the DB is replaced during a refresh. - Use this command to remove the files and directories : rm -r /sapmnt/SID/global/*

4.6 Start SAP for the first time


When SAP is started after the refresh, all batchjobs that were not able to run during the time of the refresh will be released immediately when SAP is started. These batchjobs can send out purchase-orders etc to actual suppliers. As this can cause serious issues, several customers want these jobs to be prevented from running. This is done by setting the number of batchjobs to 0, before starting SAP for the first time. After starting SAP there is now time to delete all released jobs in SM37, wihtout the danger of them being kicked off at the startsap command.

Su ? sidadm Cdpro We can edit the number of background workprocesses to 0 in instance profile (eg:: rdisp/wp_no_btc=0 can be set in instance profile using vi editor) Startsap

Then login to SAP and go to transaction SM37, Cancel all the released jobs to schedule.

Stopsap

Revert the btc processes to earlier value from 0 and Startsap

4.7 Manual run of backup log


Before you Proceed please check the saparch directory to see how much free space is available. Run the backup of logs in order to clean up the SAP directory.

4.8 Re-enable crontab for root on target server


Re-enable root?s cron (make sure that the same file saved earlier during the step 0 pre-work is loaded ? it should have been saved and restored to /local/etc/sapadm as part of the procedures): May need to replace the date format with the actual date the backup was made-)

4.9 Transport System Configuration


After a successful database copy, the transport system needs to be reconfigured. Proceed as follows: Logon to the target SAP in client 000 as DDIC - Run transaction SE06 - Choose ?Database copy or migration? - Press ?Post-installation processing? - Confirm ?Do you want to reinstall the CTS?? - Enter Source System SID - Select OK or YES to all remaining prompts. - Run transaction STMS Enter Description, Domain name(default is DOMAIN_<SID>) and domain description. Check if the system is MC II then you have to fillin functional name instead of hostname. - Press Save - Go to ?Overview??Transport routes? - Go to ?Configuration??Adjust with Controller? - Confirm the next popup box that says ?Adjust with controller?? - Go back to main screen. - Run transaction SE06. - Click System Change Option button. - Validate the value is set to objects cannot be changed>

4.10 Delete all spool request


After a successful database copy, the spool requests listed in the Target <SID> will reflect those of the Source <SID>. Therefore, all spool requests need to be deleted from the Target <SID>. Proceed as follows:

Logon to the target SAP - Run transaction SE38. - Enter RSPO1041(RSPO0041 for 3.1I) in the program field, and click execute. - Enter the values like the following screen

- Select menu item Program => Execute in background - A printer destination screen appears, enter LP01 as printer name, and uncheck Print immediately. - Click green check, and the job will begin in a batch process, run immediately.

4.20 Import User Master Records


After a database copy, the User Master Records (UMR) in the target system will be the same as was in the source system. Normally, it is desirable to export the UMR?s prior to the database copy step and then re-import them after the copy completes. cd /usr/sap/trans/bin tp addtobuffer <SID>KTxxxxx [pf=TP_DOMAIN_<Sid of domain controller>.PFL> ] <SID> tp import <SID>KTxxxxx <SID> client<client_number> [pf=TP_DOMAIN_<Sid of domain controller>.PFL ] U128

Note: The Part in the [ ] maybe required. The domain controller is usually the development server for this landscape. For example if target system is AB3 the domain controller is DB3. The transport number was generated in one of the Pre-Copy steps . This process may have to be completed for multiple clients depending on customer requirements for the target system.

4.21 Change Client Settings


- Logon to the target SAP in client 002 - Execute transaction SCC4 - Change the category to ?Test? for the client that you just imported the user masters into - Change the Client Protection to Level 0 - Hit Save button - Repeat this step for each client that the user import was performed

4.22

Perform client import post processing

(All R3 systems) Steps Prior to Execution of SCC7


In all R3 systems, before executing scc7, determine the storage quality of the table. If the storage quality is less than 70%, we should re-build the index. This will speedup the scc7 run considerably. For determining the storage quality of the imported user master: v Logon to Production client v Go to ->tcode db02

Part 1 ? Run SCC7


Please note: in large systems, this step may take an hour to complete. Logon to the target SAP in each of the imported clients - Run transaction SCC7 - Verify the transport request number matches the transport number that was created during the user master export in the Request field. - Verify the profile name, Export time, and Export System fields. - Click the ?Schedule in background? button. - Logon to the target system in the productive client as firebasis - Run transaction se38 - Enter program RSUSR405 and click execute. - Login to SAP again to verify your id profiles are now set to the target settings, NOT production settings.

Part 2 ? Reset User buffers


For systems at lower versions

Logon to the target system in the productive client Enter the transaction SU01 Go to Menu, Utilities -> mass changes -> reset all user buffers.

4.23 Change Client Settings


Logon to the target SAP Execute transaction SCC4 - Select each client and verify that entries are appropriate for the following fields: - Std Currency - Category (Note: only one client can be marked as ?Production? for the SID). Change the main client back to ?Production? - Change the Client Protection to Level 1 - In the subsequent sections, verify that these values are set: - ?No changes allowed? - For productive clients, at least.

4.42 SAP INFOCUBE INDEXES REPAIR


Run report SAP_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR (Applicable for BW systems on version 3.5 and below)

Some background: BW systems are running with NOLOGGING configured on Oracle level. This means that the creation of indexes are not captured in redologs. While BW drop/recreates indexes quite frequently as part of dataloading, lots of index creations are not in the redologs. When rolling forward a database during a refresh, these indexes will get corrupted blocks. The solution is to drop/recreate these indexes in the refreshed system (switching on LOGGING in the production system is not feasible as performance would go down. NOLOGGING is also the SAP recommendation for BW systems).

In BW system client: SE38 SAP_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR Program Execute in background

This can and probably will run for hours. You can however safely continue with the next steps. There is no need to wait for this program to finish. 4.43 Convert logical system names(BDLS RUN)] Old logical system name = <SSID>CLNT<Client number>

Login to the Production client and navigate to transaction BDLS, and proceed to schedule all LSN conversions from Source to target(There might be more than one BDLS runs depending on LSN?s which exist in the system which indeed depends on clients too)

Be sure to select radio button Conversion of client-dependant and client-independent tables! Deselect the check boxes Test Run and Existence check on new names in tables Program Execute in background.

You will get a warning LSN already exists: press ?enter? to ignore (don?t click on the warning, it won?t work). This will run for quite a while.

It is not feasible to wait on the outcome of the first run before starting the second run, as too much time would be wasted. Therefore scheduled the BDLS?s one hour behind eachother. In this way the BDLS runs can still hit the same table simultaneously (and therefore slow down), but overall it will be quicker than running sequentially.

The output of the SM37 job does not give all the information. However, the application log of SAP catches the actual output of BDLS.

Go to the application log via transaction SLG1 enter appopriate dates Execute. Expand the row as below and doubleclick on the line Problem Class.
