Thats great, I will have a look at this.

But, can u tell me whether TADM70 for WEB AS 640 can be referenced for this activity.

Also, is there any specific note to refer when migrating to HP-UNIX and DB2.

Thanks for your cooperation.

But, can u tell me whether TADM70 for WEB AS 640 can be referenced for this activity.

=> ANSWER: 100% yes, according with page 3 of this training.

There's no note specific to HP-UX, you must use the generic notes that guides to you. For example, these notes below.

870863 (OUTDATED) Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 2004s

785848 Hom./Het.System Copy SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 Java

926085 (OUTDATED) Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR1

971645 6.40 Patch Collection Hom./Het.System Copy Java

1317500 Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NW 7.0 incl. EHP 1 SR1

1238351 Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NW 7.0 incl. Enhancement Package 1

970518 Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2

1. Is there any specific manual exists apart from OS/DB planning guide and heterogenous system copy guide for was 640 SR1 systems ?

ANSWER: This note below explains everything that you'll need and the path to download the guide.

2. I understood that we need to register with SAP for receiving the migration key and also to get the installation kit required in this case?

ANSWER: These notes explains how to generate and what you'll need to do.

317096 - Migration Key Generation for ABAP Systems

338372 - Migration key does not work

3. Kindly provide me some approx expected compltion time for this activity as we believe it can be completed in 2-3 days.

ANSWER: 3 days in my opinion it's good to execute this migration.

Hi Mateus,

You rock, thanks for that response.

I just observed that we need to refer System Copy Manual for NW 7.0 SR3 as we are in solution manager 7.0 s that right ?

I don't know how to identify the SR release of solution manager 7.0 (Net weaver 7.0).

I also believe that TADM70 for WAS 640 can be used to perform this activity as procedure is same.

Please, throw some lights on this as it will be of great help.

Appreciate your help & thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

I discussed your doubt with my senior colleagues and the recommendations are the following.

1) Upgrade the source system to EHP1 firstly and execute the migration

OR

2) Execute the migration and upgrade to EHP1

Check if this database version is supported with Netweaver 701.

Follow these notes below for both cases.

1238351 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NW 7.0 incl. Enhancement Package 1 => Solman 7.0 EHP1

1120872 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 => Solman 4.0

Dear Mateus,

Thanks for your reply I will check these SAP notes.

We have decided to do migration first then upgrade to EHP1 along with DB2 9.7 upgrade.

In the mean time please give me ur ideas on the following questions ?

1. Is there any specific manual exists apart from OS/DB planning guide and heterogenous system copy guide for was 640 SR1 systems ?

2. I understood that we need to register with SAP for receiving the migration key and also to get the installation kit required in this case?

3. Kindly provide me some approx expected compltion time for this activity as we believe it can be completed in 2-3 days.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,
