Processing Steps of a System Copy (Oracle only)

With the settings in the property file listed in the examples above and an Oracle database as source and target database, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

The following directories must exist on the export host (parameter: exportDirs):

\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DATA

\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB

\temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB\ORA

The \temp\export_dump\ABAP\DATA directory must contain the STR files generated by R3ldctl.

The \temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB directory must contain the DDL<DBTYPE>.TPL files generated by R3ldctl.

The \temp\export_dump\ABAP\DB\ORA directory must contain the EXT files generated by R3szchk.

2.1General Techinical preparation
2.2Before you start a system copy, check the minimum kernel patch level required by the support package level of the source system.
2.3Call transaction SM13(Check if canceled or pending update requests exist in the system. If canceled or pending updates exist, you must update these again or delete them from all clients)

2.5If the tables are not empty and you do not delete the contents of these tables you encounter problems while importing the data to your target system because of non-NULL capable fields in these tables.
