Hi ,
I am planning for the system copy of our SAP Production system and its properties are as below :
1. SAP ECC- EHP4 - SP07 with dual stack (Both ABAP and java on single server)- AIX box
2. Contains 2 application servers. (AIX )
3. Databse is DB2 and is on separate hardware with HACMP Cluster. (AIX box)
4. System copy to be done to dev system using full online copy
and DEV system is as below :
1. SAPand DB2 installed on single AIX box
Now I need to copy this system in to a Dev system , to create a new dev system for an another big enhancement project. could some one through some light on following questions :
1. The first thing i have in my mind is - stop SAP on dev system , restore the DB on dev from the backup copy of prod and start DB on dev after running few post recover scripts and strart SAP . ( because dev is already got SAP installed )
2. One of my friend raised a question of - i still need to export the java stack on the production , and then use it after uninstalling the SAP on the dev box and select a specific option ( DB something in sapinst- just to tell instmaster that, DB is already recovered from Prod ) and when the option comes for java export, give the exported copy of the java stack from production. ----- My question here is ...why should we do like this when we have already restored the database that includes both ABAP and java stacks)
Thanks for patience...
Regards,
