SAPinst execution phase of the heterogeneous system copy
Summary
• In a heterogeneous system copy, the database, or operating system, or both are
changed during the system copy process.
• Obtain a migration key before starting the heterogeneous system copy.
• The export phase of the copy will write the DDL statements and create a database
dump file.
• The import phase of the copy reads the export dump and loads the data to the target
system in a database-independent format.
