Introduction

If you want to duplicate an SAP system, you perform a system copy

 As part of system copy, all instances are newly installed, but
database is set up using a copy of source system database

System copy and migration
Introduction

A system copy can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous:

 Homogenous System Copy
– Both operating system and database system stay the same
– Performed in most cases with database-specific procedure
(database-independent procedure could optionally also be used)

 Heterogeneous System Copy

– One of the following is changed during the system copy:
o Operating system (in this case, system copy is called OS migration)
o Database system (in this case, system copy is called DB migration)
o Operating system and database system (in this case, system copy is called
OS/DB migration)
– Has to be performed with database-independent procedure (with some exceptions for
certain OS migrations, where cross-platform backup-/restore is supported)
