Basis work for SAP system copy using DB2 cloning tool

36 Views

My company is using the DB2 cloning tool, formerly from MainStar. Our DBAs have used this tool to create a clone of a technical sandbox (ST1) to another DB2 instance (SZ1).

I am reading through the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java guide and trying to follow the steps.

As information, our application servers are currently running on zLinux and I am trying to do a system copy of an HA ABAP+Java SID.

Since we have used the cloning tool, which I would equate to a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools, the guide looks like it says I can skip the Export Preparation and Table Splitting Preparation steps. The only other step for the source system is the Database and Central Instance Export.

When I execute this step, it creates a dump of the database. This seems useless as we already have a cloned copy of the database.

Does anyone have the list of Basis tasks for a system copy when the DB2 cloning tool is used?
