2. What is prerequisite for OS Linux version for BW ? ( OS independent )

3. Can you share document for upgrade BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 on Linux

https://service.sap.com/nw04installation -> installation -> SAP Web AS --> SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 Installation and Related Documentation -> Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy (including SAP Web AS 6.40 Patch Collection)

2. What is prerequisite for OS Linux version for BW ? ( OS independent )

Note 771209 - NetWeaver 04: System copy (supplementary note)

Read the installation Master Guide - SAP NetWeaver '04

https://service.sap.com/nw04installation -> installation -> SAP Web AS > SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 Installation and Related Documentation -> SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR1> oracle --> Linux (select your own architecture of operating system)

3. Can you share document for upgrade BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 on Linux?

https://service.sap.com/nw04upgrade

4. Can you share document for install Oracle 10 on Linux ?

https://service.sap.com/nw04installation -> installation -> SAP Web AS > SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 Installation and Related Documentation -> SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR1> oracle --> Linux (select your own architecture of operating system)

Hope you got all answers... And read system copy documentation which is available on sdn also.

1. Can you share document for migrate BW 3.5 from Windows to Linux?

Follow the Heterogeneous system copy guides

http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration

2. What is prerequisite for OS Linux version for BW ? ( OS independent )

Note 771209 - NetWeaver 04: System copy (supplementary note)

3. Can you share document for upgrade BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 on Linux?

http://service.sap.com/upgrade

The time difference between final migration and the next upgrade of the productive system should be at least 6 weeks! First get the system stable and then do the upgrade

4. Can you share document for install Oracle 10 on Linux ?

you can find the Linux installation master guide for using database Oracle

http://service.sap.com/instguides

5. Where I can get BW 3.5 Installation CD for Oracle on Linux ? ( Direct path in URL )

I can't give exact link, But I can give the path

For Windows :-

Goto -> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> " SAP NetWeaver" -> SAP NETWEAVER 04 -> Installation and Upgrade -> Windows Server -> ORACLE -> Installation Master 6.20/6.40 Windows Server

For Linux :- Goto -> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> " SAP NetWeaver" -> SAP NETWEAVER 04 -> Installation and Upgrade -> Windows Server -> ORACLE -> Installation Master 6.20/6.40 Linux

6. Where I can get BI 7.0 Upgrade CD for Oracle on Linux ? ( Direct path in URL )

In the said path you will find all upgrade DVD's

For Linux :- Goto -> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> " SAP NetWeaver" -> SAP NETWEAVER 04 ->

Installation and Upgrade -> Linux -> ORACLE -> Installation Master 6.20/6.40 Linux

Before you start anything down load installation/upgrade and system copy guides and follow the process.

And also read Note 547314 - FAQ: System Copy procedure

BW 3.5 will come under Netweaver 04, so you can download installation/upgrade and systemcopy guides under the option Installation & Upgrade Guides

let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Surendra

And important thing you have to remember, OSDB migration must be performed by Migration Certified consultant onsite . Other wise you loose support form SAP for the target productive system.
