System Move: Preparing Target System Landscape

This preparatory step is relevant, if you want to perform a system move during the SUM with DMO run.

Context

In addition to the required preparation steps in the source system landscape (such as providing the stack.xml file and the SAP HANA database client archive, or updating SAP Host Agent), you prepare the target system landscape to perform a move to a new primary application server (PAS).

For more information about the system move, see System Move: Enabling DMO with System Move.

Procedure

  1. Provide the PAS host in the target system landscape with the same system ID as the PAS host in the source system landscape:
    1. Install the ASCS as SAP target system.
    2. Install the database instance.
    3. Install the PAS as SAP target system.
    4. Stop the SAP system.
  2. Delete the schema user SAPSR3 in the SAP ASE target database instance.

    Consider also SAP Note 2523137 Information published on SAP site. Note that an example script to delete the schema user is attached to this SAP Note.

  3. Provide the database client.
