Component : Installation and Upgrade AS/400 - IBM AS/400

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/585277 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP note provides guidance on performing a homogeneous system copy for SAP systems running on IBM eServer iSeries. Key points include detailing two primary system copy methods: the SAP R3Load/JLoad and the iSeries-specific SAVLIB/RSTLIB. While R3Load and JLoad cater to both homogeneous and heterogeneous system copies across all platforms, the SAVLIB/RSTLIB approach is suitable only for homogeneous copies on iSeries, facilitating system installation from a saved database library. The note also specifies prerequisites, such as ensuring the availability of the relevant Patch Collection and SAPinst compatibility. Additionally, it highlights procedural steps and critical post-installation checks to ensure system integrity, adhering to specific kernel releases and providing troubleshooting guidelines, notably in scenarios involving Java components.
