Tools For System Copy and Migration
Tools For System Copy and Migration
by Rajnikanth »
These are the new Java based tools that are developed to improve the system copy process for
ABAP systems. These tools can be used together with the old system copy procedures based on
R3SETUP as well as for copying older SAPinst based products.
* start the R3load processes to load the data as soon as a package is available
* STR/EXT files
* 6.40: TSK files with WHERE clauses (including an adaptation of the corresponding STR/EXT
files)
* 7.00: WHR files with WHERE clauses (including an adaptation of the corresponding
STR/EXT files)
CAUTION: Please pay attention to note 833946.
* Lists the long running objects within a package for further splitting
OraBRcopy (ORABRCOPY)
Tool to prepare the system copy using Oracle Backup/Restore. This tool replaces the former
UNIX R3COPY shell script. The tool works on UNIX and Windows and generates the control
files and the new init<DBSID>.ora for the target system.
Conclusion: All listed tools are downwards compatible and SAP recommends always to use the
latest tool version available - unless not stated otherwise.
· The different implementations of the J2EE standards in J2EE Engine 6.20 and J2EE Engine 2004s
The J2EE Engine 2004s is a J2EE 1.3-compliant platform for running J2EE applications, whereas J2EE
Engine 6.20 is J2EE 1.2-compliant.
· The new cluster architecture, cluster communication, service infrastructure, and the new features of
J2EE Engine 2004s
· The unavailability of an upgrade procedure from J2EE Engine 6.20 to J2EE Engine 2004s
As a result of the new architecture in 2004s, it is not possible to upgrade from 6.20 to 2004s. You must
install SAP NetWeaver 2004s and redeploy on the J2EE Engine all applications that were running on J2EE
Engine 6.20.
This section describes some of the main architectural differences between J2EE Engine 6.20 and 2004s
and their effect on the migration of applications.
