Ok, I think I get the DAA picture now. Thanks for your clarifications.
So I believe we have a pure ABAP system with the DAA agent which is java and is separate from the central instance (TS1).
As for the system copy... I'm looking through the logs (a colleague worked on this last) to see if I can get the error. Barring that I will try again today with more confidence as to the stack type to select when we get to the sap tools for system copy.
If I do (I expect I will) have problems with the system copy, I will post a new thread specific to that error.
Thanks again!
