Common System Copy and Database Copy Terminology
Business Scenario for a Homogeneous System Copy
In this chapter we will study an end-to-end system copy procedure using a real-life business
scenario. You have been requested to plan and set up a quality assurance system by the SAP
project team as a copy of the most recent ERP production system. Your database is Oracle,
and it runs on a UNIX operating system. After some analysis of different copy options, you
have reached the conclusion that the Oracle offline backup method should be used. This
procedure is chosen because of limited downtime available for the production system and
faster database copy time in building the target quality assurance system. Where it is applic-
able, the copy steps important to a Java system and a dual system are covered in this
chapter.
