4.6C migration from HP-UX to Linux

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we are planning to move the current 4.6C environment from HP-UX to Linux platform. we need help with a couple of things that are posted below.

1. Is 4.6c compatible on RH Linux 11.31.

2. Do we need a seperate liscense for Linux or can we use the existing one.

3. Can we install a fresh installation of 4.6C on linux and import the DB from teh present working environment. Is this the way it is done.

4. Can we upgrade the DB from Oracle 9.2 to 10.4 due the migration process.

Your hellp will be appreciated.

1. Is 4.6c compatible on RH Linux 11.31.
2. Do we need a seperate liscense for Linux or can we use the existing one.
3. Can we install a fresh installation of 4.6C on linux and import the DB from teh present working environment. Is this the way it is done.
4. Can we upgrade the DB from Oracle 9.2 to 10.4 due the migration process.

1. There is no Red Hat 11.31, only HP-UX 11.31 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (or 4).

2. After migration, you hardware key changed, you need to renew your license. You do not need a separate one

3. for OS/DB Migration, check: http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration

4. There is no Oracle 10.4, only 10.2.0.4 ! If you want to use Oracle 10.2.0.4 you'd need the 46C_EX2 kernel

You should also take care, that native installation for 46c is 32bit only (for Linux). However, we have a prepared 46c installation CD for 64bit installations on linuxx86_64 (with kernel 46c_EXT -> later upgrade to 46c_EX2). You can request this CD via an OSS call on BC-OP-LNX-X64.

Have a thought about following standard system copy procedures (hetro)?

I would upgrade the DB before or after and not during the system copy. Check PAM at service.sap.com/pam for more details.
