DB2 Backup & Restore Method

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a source system which is ECC6 running on Windows Server 2008 & DB2 9.7 FP2 database. I want to build or copy the exact system to diffrent office. I have done a fulloffline backup on the server. The target system will be suselinux and same database which is DB9.7FP2.

So i have install a ECC6 system on the target system with same System ID,Hostname as the sourse system. . I am not sure what to do next. Please guide me how to restore the database using the full offline backup that i done on the sourse system.

Basically i am just doing a system copy but using the backup restore method.

Hi,

You cannot simply restore your database backup to different operating system. This is the case of OS migration as source and target OS are different. So, you need to carry out heterogeneous system copy. Check system copy guide on http://service.sap.com/instguides.

Hello,

Yes this is a heterogeneous system copy and you may have to get the migrations key.

Thanks
