Related to  SAP Guide System Copy for
SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 ABAP I
would have few questions

We have
still Oracle 10.2.0.4 so we use master media for

kernel 7.00 and then upgrade to newest kernel 7.20 as on production.

The
procedure is :

1. Stop runninng SAP(database must
        be on

1. OraBRCopy Java tool writes file
        CONTROL.SQL
   
        cross checked with CONTROL.TRC. I did this on an test system and found out
   
        difference in MAXDATAFILES was 1022 in CONTROL.SQL and 254 in CONTROL.TRC.
        What to do in this case(or some
   
        other difference)?

Can I run OraBRCopy Java tool on productive system

(on cluster) with no danger?

1. 3.transfer of data files
   
        via an up-to-date offline backup, you can use it (provided that redo logs
        were
   
        cleaned up with forced log switches). What
        does it mean » that redo logs were cleaned up with
   
        forced log switches)« how to get that? Via OraBRCopy Java tool?

Would it be possible to do

that from online(dataprotector) backup (regardless we have it integrated via

backint/so we perform restore from source machine ). If possible to restore it to another target

system could you let me know how?

On test system yesterday I had to change password of
user

SYTEM in order to get OraBRCopy Java tool functional. Could this be problem on productive system (for

backups)?

I think the procedure is same for NW 700 and 702?

Thank you in advance

Have a look at this guide as it speaks about the steps to be executed.

Why don't you just backup the source system database restore the database of the target system ?

You just need to copy the .sap profile, .utl file, backup logs used by the backup.

You need to make sure that the target system is able to communicate with the backup server used by the source system. Probably a storage or a backup specialist can assist you in configuring that.

Once the restore is completed you need to recreate the OPS$ users and apply the license and perform the other post refresh tasks.
