Dear All,
We are planning for OS DB migration from Windows 2003 Operating system and MS SQL database to HPUX operating system and Oracle database.
My query is how to transfer exported files from source operating system (Windows 2003) to target operating system (HPUX).
Can we use NFS?

Hi,
The best option to transfer dump files would be ftp in your scenario.
Check this by transferring a file from source to target.

No, this will not work.
Windows is a little endian platform, HP-UX is big endian, HP-UX will not be able to read the binary files you transfer.
The only way doing migrations in a supported way is doing a heterogeneous system copy. This means that the source system is exported using R3load and imported also using sapinst and R3load.
Heterogeneous system copies must be done by a certified migration consultant on-site, otherwise support is lost for problems during the migration and for the target system (SAP will bill OSS calls).

- use an HP CIFS client and "mount" the Windows filesystem (https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8725AA)
- use Windows SFU and NFS mount an HP directory (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=896c9688-601b-44f1-81a4-02878ff11778&DisplayLang=en)
- use WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php)
- use a combination of all those
