Systemcopy Problem with MaxDB 7.7/7.8 (Create Database Instance)

[Former Member]

Hello Guys,

I have a problem with a system copy of a CRM 7 system (NW 7.01 J2EE with MaxDB 7.8.02.32).

The Source System runs on a Windows 2003 x64 Server. The Target System will be on the same server. There are already 2 Instances installed (SD1, SD2).

I made the Source System Extract (Standard System Copy) and started the target installation.

As database version I chose MaxDB 7.7 because I had trouble with 7.8 at another installation. I upgraded to 7.8 after the System Copy.

At phase 11 (create Database Instance) I get an error.

In the XCMDOUT.LOG there is following entry:

> Subprocess starts at 20130218104901

Execute Command : Y:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli.exe -n isw56 inst_enum

Execute Session Command : exit

> Subprocess stops at 20130218104901

OK

7.8.02.23    Y:\sapdb\SD3\db

7.8.02.23    Y:\sapdb\SD2\db

7.8.02.23    Y:\sapdb\SD1\db

7.8.01.16    Y:\sapdb\clients\DatabaseStudio

SD1 and SD2 are already installed and running. SD3 is my system copy that fails.

I also tried the system copy with 7.8 but it fails at the same phase.

Now I have no idea what I should do to make the system copy work.

best regards

Hello Tobias,

-> "I have a problem with a system copy of a CRM 7 system (NW 7.01 J2EE with MaxDB 7.8.02.32).

The target database instance is SD3. It will be on the same server as source DB.

Is your source DB SD1 or SD2 ?

You already checked the SAP Note No. 919224. Correct?

-> Are you planning to do a system copy of a CRM 7 system (NW 7.01 J2EE with MaxDB 7.8.02.32) to a CRM 7 system (NW 7.01 J2EE with MaxDB 7.7).?

=>

Please update with output of commands:

sdbregview -l

dbmcli inst_enum

If your source DB instance is on 7.8 version, you need to install the target DB instance of 7.8 version or higher.

Hello Natalia,

yes, I already checked this note. As I already said I tried the systemcopy with 7.8 also but getting the same error.

Note 1469675 implies that I have to use 7.7 for the systemcopy and upgrade to 7.8 afterwards. That worked fine for another system (same version of J2EE engine and OS).

This is the sapinst_dev.log:

Hello,

I solved the problem with Note 1463509

I downloaded the sapdb.inf file and copied it to sapinst_instdir and restarted the systemcopy.

It worked.

Hi Tobias,

I could not make out when are you facing the problem. Is it after system copy or is it after upgrading your system to 7.8 version.
