Hi,

We have a requirement to build SAP ECC6.0 . We have two environments

1. ECC6.0 on IBM-AIX with Oracle 10.2

2. ECC6.0 windows2003, MSSQl2005

I have got ECC6.0 on IBM-AIX with Oracle 10.2 database full backup (.*.tar) files from the hosting vendor, my requirement is how can i build with this backup file in new enviornment ECC6.0 MSSQl2005 database?

Hi,

This bakup is not usefull when you are swtching cross platform. This backup is only usefull for only the OS are same.

For cross plateform there are other options, like system copy.

If you want to make exact copy in Windows plateform from AIX, you can do with sysem copy.

For that please follow the following steps for that in AIX machine.....

Run ./sapinst -

---

> there is option ERP2005 -

---

> Additional S/w LifeCycle Task----->

System Copy---->Oracle---> Source System---> Then as per you Installation (ABAP, JAVA or both) Whatever you had choose in that installation.

Then Next and that will ask for Path to Export that data. Before that minimun information is requied like SID etc.

When you Got sucess in save that it will in mult GBs as per DB size.

Then in windows OS installation It will work as exported data (mean with fresh installation choose this path in Export Path).

Your New system will replica of your AIX server, all data you get here.

Just to add:

be aware that a database (and/or) operating system change implies having a certified migration consultant on-site, otherwise you'll loose support for the target system.

Hi Amy,

You are trying to do hetrogeneous copy O/s and Database migration(from AIX/ORacle to Win/SQL) ...It looks tough to me from just the backfiles ..I suggest you to check R3load meothed(Export/Import) for this ..Which looks more suitable to me as per your requirement..but I am not sure about it ...So check out SAP Standard documents for this.

Second option is (if you do not have Source server of which you have backup files)to install ECC6.0 on AIX with oracle 10.2 with same SID (of which you have backup files)...Check if sap Server came up ...You need to follow Homogeneous copy guide(backup/Restore meothed) for this... If SAP server came up then shutdown the SAP server and take the EXPORT and then IMPORT it to your Target Server(Win/SQL)
