Hi Neeraj,

It's called heterogeneous system copy. Follow the system copy guide for ECC5, which details the procedure for homogeneous and heterogeneous system copy.

Find it at

service.sap.com/instguides

In short the procedure is

1. Export the source system using R3load (it creates dump of source independent of source DB and OS)

2. in the target system while building up the new system, use the export taken from source system.

Note - for doing a heterogeneous system copy, someone from you/your colleague would have to OS/DB migration certified from SAP to order the migration service.

Debasis.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion but just wants to ask for transport landscape

Mean to say

1. prd will be unix based system

2. dev and quality will be windows based system.

how to configure transport domain between these systems .

thanks

Hi Neeraj,

If you are planning to have the production system on a different transport group, I think the normal process would work. But to set up central transport directory in environment with Unix and Windows, the below note describes that you need one additonal software such as SAMBA.

Also have a look on note

hope this will help

Theres no difference at all TMS wise if the Landscape is Heterogeneous or Homogeneous.
