Homogenious System Copy Failure - ERROR Connect to database failed

Updated May 18, 2018

Hi,

I am doing homogeneous System Copy following the exact documentation and CD`s as mentioned in the Documentation and notes.

Note - Oracle Special Installation and Sys Copy Features - Note 659509

and the R3 4.7Installation guide for Solaris and Oracle - Section Oracle Specific Procedure as detailed in the Note. WAS 6.20 Homogeneous System Copy Documentation and the required CD`s

As mentioned in the guide I did rename the control.xml , found the message box "Not Found", cancelled it, did R3Copy, brought the target database up which is OP2 . (Doing a copy from (Source)OP1 to (Target) OP2). Now in the guide it says under section OracleSpecficProcedure. Before you startup R3Setup(In this case SAPINST)to run sapdba -
usyste/ <passwd> -alter_user system/manager and other users like sys/change_on_install and sapr3/sap. I did all of these as well.

It also says in the note 659509 (Oracle Special Installation and Sys Copy Features ) to run oradbusr.sql from the sapinst cd (The CD number 51019679) under /UNIX/COMMON/INSTALL before starting SAPINST again. Then i run this SQL Script as per the note
---------------------

uk-oasdbs002:oraop2 639% cd //oracle/51019679/UNIX/COMMON/INSTALL

uk-oasdbs002:oraop2 641% sqlplus /nolog @ORADBUSR.SQL SAPOP1 UNIX OP2 x

(Please see I am using SAPOP1 as the schema owner as I had an error beore ) - Using SAPOP2 gives me an error in the above script.

After this I executed the step insert into OPS$OP2ADM.sapuser values (`SAPOP2`,`SAP`); (as per the note)
Then I restarted the SAPINST and followed from message box "Not Found", pressed OK ,
The error which I am getting is
ee `/sapmnt/OP2/exe/saplicense -R3Setup OP2 "OMBAYXH1" TRACE=2` output
in `/oracle/SAPINST_WORK_DIR/saplicense.log`.
ERROR 2005-01-27 14:35:21

Again if i run this command as standalone as op2adm

/sapmnt/OP2/exe/saplicense -R3Setup OP2 "OMBAYXH1" TRACE=2

Felow is the dev_slic which i get

-- From the output it says it tries to read the tables DDNTT , SVERS but SAPOP2 schema doesnt contain any tables. As a matter of fact when I copied the database from OP1 as expected there will not be any SAPOP2. During the installation this user got created. Then i corrected the privs as it did not had any create session and gave all the necessary rights.
But this users doesnt have any tables. The schema is SAPOP1 which is present being carried over from the Source system.
-------
I have got the following in the environment
dbms_type=ORA
dbs_ora_tnsname=OP2
dbs_ora_schema=SAPOP2
ORACLE_PSRV=OP2
ORACLE_SID=OP2
DB_SID=OP2
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/OP2/920_64
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
-----------------------------

Do I need to make the dbs_ora_schema as SAPOP1 . Here.
As if i do that R3trans -d is successull

13 Apr 2009 1:44 pm Guest

try to run R3trans -d and find from the R3trans.log from the current directory to see if there`re any log inf., compared with the log in a good system after you run R3trans -d to find out at what step sap can`t connect to dbs., it is probably due to the environment variable dbs_ora_schema should be OP2, instead of OP1, also , verify that ops$op2adm is identified externally with the connect, resource and sapdba privilege, and initialize the ops$op2adm with sapdba, option M and then D.
