Summary :
Patch 20 of BR*Tools 7.00 introduces significant upgrades for database copying within and across different hardware platforms. For homogeneous copying, enhancements in the BRRECOVER tool facilitate automated database rebuilding using full offline or online backups. Changes to Oracle SID, Oracle Home, and Sapdata Home are supported, and operations can be transitioned to alternate hosts. For heterogeneous environments, the BRSPACE function "Recreate database" and Oracle 10g's Cross-Platform Transportable Tablespaces feature enable effective database transfers, contending with potential Endian format conversions. It's crucial to use BR*Tools version 7.10 Patch 20 or higher and to adjust Oracle server settings and SAP data directories appropriately for successful operation.
