Homogeneous system copy on iseries

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are planning to refresh our R/3 development system (SID: R3D) by doing homogeneous system copy using production data (SID: R3P).

There are couple of open transports in development system and I donu2019t want to overwrite those in the process of system copy.

also I donu2019t want to over write users idu2019s and passwords.

When i goggled, I found a procedure to execute a User Master Export SCC8 (client export) for profile: SAP_USER.

After creating a transport with users master datau2026 should I copy the transport co and data files to some other location, so that it doesn't get over written?

Should i save all CO and data files of transports from u201CR3Du201D into a separate folder and reimport into one by one after reconfiguring TMS?

Is there any procedure to save all variants in the system and apply the same after system copy?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

It will not get overwritten on it.

Exported requests will not be overwritten. At the end of the system copy process, you should re-read the transport queue and import these requests into the system

>> Is there any procedure to save all variants in the system and apply the same after system copy?

SAP_UCSV will save "Customizing, User Master Records and User Variants". Please note that if you select this profile, customization data will be exported, as well

Hello rk_007,

but I do not see a real solution for your issues except the users ... SAP_USERS is ok and can be used at any time. All the rest will delete ALL tables and replace it with the copy.

So, when you do a system refresh from R3P to R3D and then replace with SAP_UCSV ALL application data will be deleted ;-((

You cannot conserve open transports as well. You have to close them, and reimport later on again and open new ones for the missing functionality,

So, the process is a bit more complicated in a 2-system landscape as you might think.

Would be a client export of R3P perhaps sufficient ?

The versions of ABAPs are lost as well ... you should backup them before deleting R3D.
