Technically it's possible - yes.

However, keep in mind, that the endianess is different (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness), Windows is little endian and HP-UX is big endian. This can cause problems if you exchange binary data with non-SAP systems.

Apart from that you will need to make sure you have a common transport directory (/usr/sap/trans) with either NFS on Windows using Microsoft Services for Unix or using a CIFS client on HP-UX to access the windows share.

Yes - sure. In that case you won't need to deal with that NFS/CIFS things because Linux has NFS also

Well - it's different operating system If you're used to command lines shells you will feel comfortable soon.

yes - this is supported.

we are using a ECC5(is Retail) oracle 9i with windows 2003 server. with 32 bit

we are making aplan for the upgradation ,which are the better option

case1- ECC5(is Retail) oracle 10G with windows 2003 server. with 64 bit -all server (PRD,DEV,QTY)

case2-ECC5(is -Retail) oracle 10G with LINUX. with 64 bit

Both ways are possible and supported.
