Does anyone have "Best Practices" to move GRC 5.2 to its own environment?

Hello,

Has anyone else put the GRC applications on a shared server and then decided to move them? We have been running Access Enforcer, & Compliance Calibrator on a box shared with Solution Manager. We now have permission to put it on a separate server. We have been looking for "Best Practices" for making this type of change. If you have experience doing these would you be willing to share knowledge?

Also, what little we have advise or knowledge we have found indicates "there is no way to do a J2EE system copy from a dual-stack system into a J2EE-only system." Does anyone know if this is true?

We want to move the GRC 5.2 to its own environment before we upgrade to GRC 5.3...

I would also recommend to do a clean install of the new server, then copy the configuration over.

The export/import functionality works pretty well, I have been moving two systems from Windows to Unix servers in about two days (+ installation of Netweaver).

Hi Renee,

There is not best practice or methdology to move GRC AC 5.2 easily. AC 5.3 has import/export functionality in place to move most of the data from one environment to another. I will recommend you to upgrade to AC 5.3 and then move everything to new server.

Another way is to ask your BASIS person and see if he can backup and restore DB on another server.

there is no way to do a J2EE system copy from a dual-stack system into a J2EE-only system." Does anyone know if this is true? This is true.

Renee-

Yes, you can do a system copy from a dual stack to a single stack. However, after you copy it over, you will have another dual stack. You will have to turn off the ABAP processes, also change the User Source from ABAP, and create your users again. You can extract the schema to the single stack, as well, depending on the DB. But that is not supported by SAP.

If you want to move forward with the system copy, I would recommend that you obtain the services of a Sr. Netweaver consultant for about 1 month.

Frank,

The question is if we go with this model would all of the Data and audit information disappear?

All the data is stored in the DB. When you copy the DB, everything will be copied over. Your audit logs will not disappear.
