Issue with interface migration

[Former Member]

Experts,

We have a situation where I need to export out PI interfaces to a different server. Its a migration project so corresponding R3 system data is also moving to new systems. I can export out IR and ID data into new PI system but problem arises in exporting SLD data. Since new R3 system will have different SID, the technical and business systems associated with these interfaces will be different when importing into new environment. Thus presenting a problem their exports.

Existing environment

SAP R3 <-> PI <--> SQL DB

(SID1) (SID2)

SLD1

New environment

SAP R3 <-> PI <---> SQL DB

(SID3) (SID4)

SLD2

Existing business systems would carry no meaning in new environment owing to new SID. But in absence of those business systems, a straight import of PI data will fail in the new environment. Has anyone came across or knowledgeable with this type of migration?

Thanks.

Even if it is manual exports, it will be a type of transport. You may first perform the SLD transport so that SID1 & SID2 (old) and SID 3 & SID4 (new) are present in same SLD. Then in the new SLD, you may define transport targets with old SIDs as source and new ones as target. Then the transports should behave as any other transport.

IR tranport won't be affected in any way and can be done directly across the PI systems.
