system copy for R/3 4.7 MSCS

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Currently we are planning a system copy using R3Load import/export on R/3 4.7. Below is the details:

Target : New PRD with clustering MSCS & OFS configured (both win & oracle 64 bit)

Source: Old PRD with clustering MSCS & OFS configured (both win & oracle 32 bit)

Questions:

1. the target is already been configured with all the clustering setup and installed with SAP with old data. Now, we just want to copy the latest old PRD data to the target. we plan to skip all the step and just re-run the DB import step using the SAPinst R3load import/export method. Does the sapinst 6.40 will auto drop the DB & re-create DB during import?

2. If the sapinst 6.40 can't drop & re-create, how we can drop the DB & re-import the new DB?

Thanks

If your target system is up and running then you can use database specific tools to copy your database.

Ie: online / offline backup to restore from your old to new system.
