Wrong migration key - installation number 00000000

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

Im trying to migrate SAP ERP EHP7 from MaxDB to DB2 database and while import ABAP phase I received error, that migration key is wrong. I was generating key via OSS, but it is always wrong. In log file I see something weird:

process id 3722

(DB) INFO: connected to DB

(GSI) INFO: dbname   = "NAO                                                                                                                             "

(GSI) INFO: vname    = "DB6                             "

(GSI) INFO: hostname = "UNKNOWN                                                         "

(GSI) INFO: sysname  = "Linux"

(GSI) INFO: nodename = "bpx-nao"

(GSI) INFO: release  = "3.0.13-0.27-default"

(GSI) INFO: version  = "#1 SMP Wed Feb 15 13:33:49 UTC 2012 (d73692b)"

(GSI) INFO: machine  = "x86_64"

(VK)  INFO: installation number = "0000000000"

(VK) ERROR: invalid migration key

/usr/sap/NAO/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/R3load: job finished with 1 error(s)

/usr/sap/NAO/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/R3load: END OF LOG: 20140825185045

I think that this is the problem, how can I solve it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Martin,

Can you refer below note and look into what and where it says ?

I saw that note earlier, unfortunetly it was not helpful.

I have installation number = 0000000000 - INFO: installation number = "0000000000"

This case is not mentioned in this note.

Also, steps for "INITIAL" didnt help for me.

Are you using the same R3load version that was used during export ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes, its the same version.

Hi Martin,

Here is one more note. Have a look and I hope this should help.

1899381 - How to check migration key issues during a System Copy

Also check other linked notes and one of them has a generic key.

Good Luck,

Unfortunetly, key mentioned in this note (1G5fdEM50DwIrBzjt6TE5Pae) is not working - same message

Hi Martin,

Have you tried the above note and checked other parts to troubleshoot.

Also, can you check this note that you generated the key correctly.

317096 - Migration Key Generation for ABAP Systems

Also, please share test_MIGKEY.log or MIGKEY.log file

As per the above note, for using the generic key, the source system should have a digitally singed license.

The source system has already installed a new, digitally signed SAP license. You can check this by calling transaction SLICENSE: The licens is only displayed when you click on the 'New Licenses' button.

Did you check for a valid digitally signed license before taking export ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Unfortunetly, system was on temporary license.

[divyanshu_srivastava3 · Accepted solution]

Then what do think, how would this work.

Apply a valid license and take the export again.

This is not possible I was doing migration on the same system, so it is not working now... Im trying to fix this problem...

Is there any possibility to do migration without applied sap license?

[divyanshu_srivastava3 · Accepted solution]

What was this an IDES system ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

No, it was ERP 6.0 EhP7, with BP installed, not an IDES.

[divyanshu_srivastava3 · Accepted solution]

While generating a migration KEY, we enter host name of source and target system ?

But here it says:

(GSI) INFO: hostname = "UNKNOWN  

Can you set the hostname used in while generating key and try again.

Honestly, I doubt that you can migrate on same host. It's technically possible but not sure from SAP's side.

Tried with this hostname UNKNOWN too - also failure 😕

I think, that it should work migrating from one database to another on the same machine - but rolling this back is very painful..

[divyanshu_srivastava3 · Accepted solution]

I would say before doing any thing, raise this with SAP and let them reply.

I have done migrations in past however, but ever faced such issue.

For installation number '0000000000' and hostname unknown SAP should have a valid reason in your case.
