Hello,
for customer AVL we are copying several system landscapes from one datacenter to another. Now we would need to test the copied system landscapes (i.e. the copied development systems in the new datacenter).
AVL also has got a NWDI instance, so we would need to copy it to the new datacenter. Unfortunately all SAP documentation is only speaking about MOVING a NWDI, and mentions that COPYING is not possible.
Excerpt from SAP note 877029:
IMPORTANT:
CBS and CMS do NOT support the COPY option. This means after the System
Copy migration was done you are not allowed to use the CBS and CMS in the
source system anymore. If the COPY option is selected only for DTR a COPY
is done, for CBS and CMS only a MOVE is done.
We need to build an interim NWDI in the new datacenter just for testing.
Currently we cannot move the NWDI to the new datacenter yet.
Is there any way to duplicate a NWDI just for testing purposes?
Regards
