I'm check more links and notes now ...

Try to read you to :

First go to http://service.sap.com/platforms

and check "SAP NetWeaver 2004 SR1 Product Availability Matrix"

In note Note 960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64)

"On Windows Server 2003 X86_64 (64-bit), you may only use Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) software for X86_64 (64-bit) as a database. Note 949116 describes the installation (homogenous system copy) of old products that were not originally released on Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2). If you want to make the copy using the backup/restore procedure, for which the source database was not yet upgraded to Oracle 10.2, see Note 932722."

Also read Note 814834 - Windows 2003 SP1 x86_64 Support for SAP releases

P.S. We speak about x86_64 not IA64, check this ...

You need do per note Note 932722 - Upgrade to Oracle 10.2 during a database copy

Regards.

[former_member204746]

here's what I would do:

install windows 2003 64-bit

install Oracle 9i 64-bit

install SAP R/3 4.7 64-bit

restore/move files from old server to new server.

server is now available for users as it was before.

now,

plan an upgrade to Oracle 10g

adapt SAP kernel to use Oracle 10g

server is now available for users as it was before but Oracle is upgraded.

plan an upgrade to ECC 6. this will take a lot of time.

[Former Member]

Eric, it possible solution, but it can do to direct install the 10G on 64 bit try to read

Note 932722 - Upgrade to Oracle 10.2 during a database copy

Regards.

[former_member204746]

yup, SAP note 932722 will work too.

it's just a matter of preferences.

[Former Member]

Hi Nikunj ,

KIndly tell me we are upgrading from SAP 4.7 , Windows 2000 server 32 bit , Oracel 9 to ECC 6.0 , Windows 2003 server x64 , Oracel 10 . Now as per the above scenario , This is Upgrade or Migrate , Kindly tell me .

Selvan

[Former Member]

it's full upgrade DB+SAP and +migrate also.

P.S. the migration in this case means the 32 to 64 (convert or migration)

Regards.

[Former Member]

Upgradation means we are upgrading from one version to another version.

Migration means we are migrating from one Operating system to another operating system or from one database ( oracle ) to another database ( ms sql ).

Nikunj Thaker.
