End-to-end automation for SAP system clone/copy/rename/refresh With SAP Landscape Management, you can perform automated system clone, copy, rename and refresh for your SAP ABAP and Java systems including automation of post-copy processing tasks. SAP system clone Create a duplicate of an existing system with an identical system ID including network isolation Use case example: create isolated testing, demo or training systems SAP system copy Create a duplicate of an existing SAP system with a different host name and a unique system ID including, automation of post-copy processing steps Use case example: create new test/development systems SAP system refresh Refresh a system, to overwrite an existing target system with the latest data from a source system while maintaining the configuration Use case example: update test and development systems with latest business data 18
Post-copy automation for SAP systems With SAP Landscape Management, you can automate post copy and refresh processing tasks for SAP ABAP and Java systems using a list of pre-defined tasks lists and customize the task lists to your specific needs Post-Copy Automation (PCA) for SAP systems Provides pre-defined task lists that can be executed to automate the post-copy and refresh processing tasks on target system The task lists have built-in application logic and dependencies and they can be tailored to your specific needs Task lists can be executed locally or centrally triggered by SAP Landscape Management as a standalone procedure or during the end-to-end system copy and refresh operation Provides special task lists for BDLS optimizations 19
Standalone post-copy automation for SAP systems With SAP Landscape Management, you can execute post-copy automation (PCA) for ABAP and Java as a standalone procedure to carry out several configuration steps on a system, which was not provisioned by SAP Landscape Management Standalone PCA You may use the standalone procedure for the following usecases: Task List Execution: automates the required cleanup and configuration steps on target system Export: to prevent overwriting the target system configuration, you export the target system tables that contain configuration information before you start the system copy Import: you can run the required import steps automatically after you have created the export 20
