HOW TO PERFORM SYSTEM COPY ON

ORACLE.
TO PERFORM SYSTEM COPY WE NEED TO HAVE A CONSISTENT BACKUP WITH US.

CONSISTENT BACKUP CONTAINS 4 FOLDERS.

1. BET***** (BET FOLDER WILL CONATIN ALL DATA FILES IN THE DATABASE)
2. SID (SID FOLDER CONATIN DATABASE PARAMETER FILES)
3. BACKUPSID (IT HAS ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT BACKUP )
4. BET*****.FFD (ITS SHOWS WHETHER BACKUP DONE SUCCESFUL OR NOT )
PRE-CHECK
1. Kernal release should be equal
2. Check backup log file whether you backup perform Succesful or not
3. Your system initsid.sap parameter should be equal to backup initsid.sap

First check your system kernel release (DISP+WORK).

Now check you backup kernel release
 check backup log file whether you backup perform succesful or not.
 Now check your backup initsid.sap parameters (E:\oracle\V04\sapbackup\
V04)
Now check your system initsid.sap file in system

(E:\oracle\SID\102\database)
Now delete all the data contain in folders

(Note : don’t delete folders)

Deleting mirrlogA
Deleting mirrlogB

Don’t delete cntrl folder

Delete log files

Delete controlfile
Delete origlogB

Delete sapcheck files

Delete all the datafiles of sapdata1

Note : don’t delete cntrl folder

Delete controlfile
Delete all the datafile of sapdata2

Delete all the datafile of sapdata3

Delete all the datafiles of sapdata4

Delete all the files from sapreorg

Now last delete the files of saptrace and background
Now check your datafiles size it should be 0 bytes

Go to command prompt

Type brrestore and press enter

Its has created all your data folders in sapdata1, sapdata2, sapdat3, sapdata4
Now enter c and press enter to continue
Now its has created you online redologs files in ORIGLOGA, MIRRLOGA,
ORIGLOGB, MIRRLOGB

It also created your Controlfiles in ORIGLOGA, ORIGLOGB, SAPDATA1

Enter c and press enter to continue

Now your restore process has started.
Its completed 100 percentage
Your restore has done successfully completed.

Now go to command prompt

Login to database using sql command (sqlplus "as sysdba")

See the status of your database . By using this sql query

SQL> select status from v$instance;

It says ORACLE not available. It means your database is in shut down mode.
Now you have to bring database in open status.

For bringing database into open status run sql query ( startup )

SQL> startup;
Now see status of your database using sql query

SQL> select status from v$instance;

Go to SAPMMC (SAP Management Console).

Start your sap instance (sapserver)

Select your sid >give r8 click >say all tasks>start.
See that your msg_server.exe, disp+work.exe,igswd.exe should come in green
light
See to that your all workprocess should be in wait condition.

Now login to your system . using SAPGUI
