Hi,
I have already read the old notes which are not up to date on Live Cache system copy for 7.9 and the MaxDB Database Studio.
Does anyone have a procedure that is better documented (updated) than these notes?
457425 : Homogeneous liveCache copy using backuprestore
129352 : Homogeneous system copy with MaxDB (SAP DB)
We are trying to copy our QA1 Live Cache system to a QA2 environment. I used the SCM 702 DVD's to install a basic QA2 target Live Cache instance. I then patched it to 7.9.08.05 to match the QA1 source system level.
I have made an online Complete backup of the QA1 source and copied the file to the QA2 target file system.
In the MaxDB Studio We tried to do Recovery with initialization into the target with the source complete backup. It does do the recovery the progress bar goes and eventually at the bottom of the wizard it says progress was successfully completed. The database is not yet restartable. Choose back to perform another recovery option, but all the buttons are now greyed out. If we cancel, the database cannot start due to log and data area not compatible because the DB Identifiers are not equal. 'LogandDataIncompatible'
I have also tried Initialization with Recovery, but it seems to complain about the Mirror log areas from the source even though we correct the path to the target.
In either case, we end up having to start over and reinstall the target db again to get to clean starting point.
I have also opened OSS message. Any updated procedures are appreciated.
Thanks
