SAP Note 966752 - Java system copy problems with the Java Migration Toolkit

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues with J2EE Engine startup failures post-system copy using SAPinst and targets instance installation hiccups. The core problem lies in the ID change of instances during migration, driven by the Java Migration Toolkit which alters system-specific identifications such as SAPSID and host names. Missteps resulting in installation failures include not reloading the database after a failed installation attempt, inconsistencies between source and target systems, and incorrect source central instance IDs. Remedial steps include modifying directory-specific files to correct instance IDs and use configuration tools for validating and editing box numbers and host names to ensure consistency across installations.
