Hello Gary, a file system copy is not the recommended way for a database copy, use the backup+recovery mechanism instead.
Best Regards, Tilo Heinrich SAP Labs Berlin -----Original Message----- From: Shepherd, Gary P. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 10:56 PM To: Heinrich, Tilo Subject: Copying SAPDB Tilo, I am running SAPDB 7.2.5B23 on HP_UX 11.11 and have made a copy of the instance using a filesystem copy while the system was up. I have renamed the Instance to a new name. Is there a way to bring the copied system to db_warm state. Everytime I try to start it, it says "1,database not running". Duh! Is there a recovery method for this. I.e., as is with Oracle. Rebuild the control file and alter database open resetlogs? I am going to run a DBMGUI backup over the weekend while the system is down and try a recovery of it on Monday, but I wanted to try this, just to see if I could make it work.
