Extended maintenance will not be provided. For more information, see SAP Note 2980160 . You can download the last published version of the guide set for the last Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 SP30 for out-of-maintenance products (SWPM10RMSP30_<Version>.SAR) from SAP Note 2980160 . The guide set attached to SAP Note 2980160 covers only the SAP product versions which have reached end of maintenance. The system copy procedures described in this guide consist of two phases: 1. Export of the source system's database content. 2. Installation of the target system using the source system's database content exported in the previous step. The target system installation consists of both the target database and target instance/application server installations. The following target databases are supported: • IBM Db2 for i • IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows • IBM Db2 for z/OS • SAP MaxDB • Oracle • MS SQL Server • SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (“SAP ASE” for short)  Note This system copy guide describes only the export of the source system in detail. For the installation of the target system, you use the installation guide for the database and operating system platform of your target system. This procedure describes only the additional system copy-specific steps for the target system installation and refers for the remaining steps to the target system installation guide [page 20]. Using software provisioning manager 1.0 you can use either database-specific methods or database- independent methods [page 24]. System Copy for SAP Systems Based on the Application Server ABAP of SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHP1 to 7.52 on IBM i 8 PUBLIC Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy - Target Database: IBM Db2 for i  Note Before you start preparing for a system copy with software provisioning manager 1.0, make yourself also familiar with the Database Migration Option (DMO) of Software Update Manager (SUM) and make a decision, which tool - either Software Provisioning Manager or DMO - would best serve your purpose. For more information about DMO, see https://support.sap.com/sltoolset System Maintenance Database Migration Option with SUM <Version> and the blog https://blogs.sap.com/2017/11/22/ comparing-sap-migration-procedures-to-sap-hana-database . For information about software provisioning manager 1.0, see About Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 [page 9]. For information about SAP system products and releases covered by this guide, see SAP Products Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHP1 to 7.52 Supported for System Copy Using Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 [page 10] . For information about supported operating system and database platforms, see the Product Availability Matrix at https://support.sap.com/pam .  Note Not all SAP NetWeaver releases or SAP Business Suite applications that are available in Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 and are described in this guide might have been released already. To make sure that the system copy options you want to perform are already supported, see SAP Note 1680045 .  Note As an alternative to using Software Provisioning Manager, you can copy or refresh your system with a completely automated end-to-end framework available using SAP Landscape Management. For more information, see SAP Note 1709155 and https://help.sap.com/docs/ SAP_LANDSCAPE_MANAGEMENT_ENTERPRISE .
