CHECKLIST – CHANGE SID

Followings all the abbreviation used in this procedure/checklist

<SID> = SAP SID
SSID = Source SID
TSID = Target SID
<HOST> = Host name
<##> = SAP Instance number
<SAPINSTNAM> = SAP Instance name (e.g. DVEBMGS00)
<SAPORAHOME> = Home directory of SAP Oracle user
<SAPADMHOME> = Home directory of SAP Administrator
<SAPPROFILE> = Directory containing SAP profiles
<ORATNSHOME> = Directory containing oracle TNS control files
<ORAHOME> = Oracle Home

Relinking Oracle
Only needed if :
 An OS upgrade has occurred.
 A change has been made to the OS system
libraries. This can occur during the
application of an OS patch.
 A new install failed during the relinking
phase.
 Individual Oracle executables core dump
 during initial startup.
 An individual Oracle patch has been applied
(However, explicit relink instructions are
usually either included in the README or
integrated into the patch install script)

# su – ora<sid>
# relink all

Dump control file to trace from source instance

sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’
alter database backup controlfile to trace;
Rename trace file to control.sql
# cd /oracle/TCC/saptrace/usertrace
# ls –ltr
rename the last trace file to control.sql
Ftp control.sql from source to target instance
(location : /oracle/<SID>
Edit control.sql Refer Appendix C
1. change all source <SSID> to new TSID for sample of
a. vi control.sql control.sql
b. :%s/<SSID>/<TSID>/g

2. change location of datafiles to accommodate

new SID

3. set database to resetlogs noarchivelog

a. vi control.sql
b. change CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE
