A heterogeneous system copy in SAP refers to copying an SAP system from one environment

to another where both the source and the target systems differ in terms of hardware, operating
system, or database type. This process is often required when migrating an SAP system to a
different platform (e.g., from an Oracle database to a SQL Server database or from one OS to
another).

Here’s a general overview of the heterogeneous system copy process:

1. Preparation:

 System Downtime: Schedule downtime for the source system.


 Backups: Take complete backups of both the source system (including the database
and the SAP instance) and the target system.
 Ensure Compatibility: Ensure that the hardware, operating system, and database on
the target system are compatible with the SAP version and applications.

2. Export Data from the Source System:

 SAP Export: Use the R3load tool to export the SAP data from the source system.
 Database Export: Depending on the source and target database, use tools like
BRTOOLS for Oracle or database-specific tools for other systems to export the database
data.

3. Install SAP on the Target System:

 Install the Correct SAP Version: Install the same SAP version on the target system
to ensure compatibility.
 Database Installation: Install and configure the database on the target system.

4. Import Data to the Target System:

 Database Import: Use tools like R3load or database-specific import utilities to


import the data into the new target database.
 SAP System Import: The system data (such as tables and configurations) is
transferred from the source environment to the target system.

5. Post-Copy Steps:

 Consistency Checks: Run consistency checks to ensure data integrity after the
import.
 Reconfigure Connections: Reconfigure any system or database-specific connections,
such as SAP Kernel and Database connections.
 Adjust Parameters: Check and adjust instance profiles, system parameters, and other
configuration settings based on the target system environment.
 Transport Repository: Transport any system-specific repository objects to the target
system if necessary.

6. Testing:
 System Tests: Perform basic functional and regression tests to ensure the system is
working as expected.
 Performance Checks: Run performance tests to ensure that the system runs
optimally in the new environment.

7. Go Live:

 Once testing is complete and the system is stable, finalize the system switch to the
new environment.

Tools typically used during the process:

 SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM)


 R3load / R3trans
 BRTools (for Oracle databases) or database-specific tools for other databases
 SAP HANA Database Migration Option (DMO) if migrating to SAP HANA
