PI System Copy (JCO RFC destinations missing)

[jonlarruzea]

Hi,

We are doing a Homogeneous System Copy of a PI 7.0 system:

- Source system --> PI 7.0 Production system ("PIP")

- Destination system --> PI 7.0 Development system ("PID")

We are executing the specific POST activities for a PI system (point 5.2.3.2.4 in the "System Copy for NW2004s SR2 Abap+Java" guide). In point 5.2.3.2.4.2, PI RFC destinations must be adapted in both Abap (SM59) and Java (Visual Administrator, JCO RFC Provider). The problem is that in all PI abap RFC destinations (AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER etc) the program_id is pointing to our PI

Production system ("AI_RUNTIME_PIP"), is it OK?

Besides, in Visual Administrator (JCO RFC Provider service), all the required RFC listeners for PI ("AI_DIRECTORY_PIP", "AI_RUNTIME_PIP", etc.) are missing after the system copy (???). Must these RFC listeners be manually created? How can we do it? Must we create them with the development SID ("AI_RUNTIME_PID") or with the production SID ("AI_RUNTIME_PIP")? Perhaps PI configuration wizard must be executed after the system copy of a PI system so that these JCO RFC destinations are created, but we are afraid executing the wizard could harm the PI configuration...

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks so much for your reply. We recreated the JCO connections manually from the Visual Administrator and everything is OK!

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon

Probably the best thing to do is just create these destinations manually. You will need to do this in SM59 and the Visual Administrator. See the link below:
