OS and DB Migration of SAP NetWeaver with XI/PI with ca. 90 interfaces

[Former Member]

Hi!

We would like to migrate a SAP NetWeaver system with ca. 90 interfaces from

data center 1 to data center 2.

The current OS is SUN and DB is DB2.

The destination/future OS is Windows with Oracle.

The questions:

1) Which XI specific points (interfaces, messages, etc.) should be considered during the migration?

2) Which estimate (round about) does it take?

3) Where can I find the appropriate documentation?

Thank you very much!

regards

Jürgen

You have to be aware that Solaris -> Windows implies an endian change (Solaris SPARC is BE whereas Windows is LE). The receiving systems must "know", that the data coming is of a different endianess - depending on which adapter you use.

Nobody can tell you that, it is influenced by hardware, storage power, preparation, parallel tasks etc. etc. etc.

Basically you will be doing a heterogenous system copy, roughly spoken "start sapinst, export ABAP and Java, start sapinst on target and import".

Be aware that you need a SAP certified migration consultant on site to do the migration. If you do it on your own you will loose support in case of problems.
