Hi *.*, does anyone have any experiences with renaming a SAP-instance based on informix-DB? Our current problem is as follows: the production system is copied twice and the copies are used as developing and integration system. Caused by this the transportations mechanism of SAP doesn't work, because the names of the three systems are equal. I will be very grateful for any tips how to solve this renaming-problem. regards, Andreas Boehm +--------------------------------------------------------- | CLASS GmbH Phone: +49 8151 - 991 255 | Commissioner Privacy Fax: +49 8151 - 991 239 | Protection Mobil: +49 172 - 8363505 | Software Engineer eMail: Andreas.Boehm@class.de | Projects/Net Unit URL: http://www.class.de | Andreas Boehm http://www.class.de/~andreas | Moosstrasse 7 | D-82319 Starnberg | Germany strategic SunService Partner

Actually, there is an OSS note that describes copying and renaming an Informix database in just this fashion (using Level 0 archive and restore). Can't remember the number, search for "informix" and "migration". It involves using the latest SAPDBA (>=4.6x) to rename the database and I believe the chunk pathnames.
