Hello,
We are on BI 4.1 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Anywhere. This is my first copy.
My PROD system is on host-a and I want to to make a copy of this on a host-b for testing, where BI 4.1 is already installed. They both have same patch/version, same OS version and same installation path and same DB names.
So far I am able to restore the DB successfully. I have read 1275068 and admin guide as well on link http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41sp1_bip_admin_en.pdf (Chapter 14 - Copying BI Platfrm.) I have read few other links as well like
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-45037
and KBA 1730788 but I am little confused as what is my next step.
I have three question -
1. My first question is that once I have restored the CMS DB then I have to connect to it using Sybase Central tool and run the delete command as mentioned in the note 1275068 about deleting the references of the PROD BI 4.1 system. The SIA is still down while doing this.
Is this correct?
2. How should I create a SIA node and what are the options I need to choose. This is the major confusion. DO i need to deleet the old SIA node as well (which host-b already had before copy) or this add node will overwrite the existing SIA on host-b.
3. Do I have to rename the clustername also with key or just the cluster name.
I will greately appreciate your help.
Thank you,
SS
