Hi:

Want to migrate to X64 maintain the same platform, that is to say, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP2 and SAP R/3 4.7x200, all in X64.

How can I carry out ..?

What is the procedure ..?

Backup/Restore or Export/Import...?

Thanks,

Christian.

Dear Christian Astete,

you can use homogeneous system copy method using database specific procedure ( backup / restore ).

Hi Christian Astete,

Your hardware should be 64bit.

1- as Markus mensioned you have to migrate to Windows 64bit as per note 960769.

2- then change to mssql2005 64 bit (check your Collation setting, detach the database uninstall mssql 2005 32 bit ,install mssql 2005 64bit and attach the database.)

3- change your kernel and database libraries to 64 bit.
