It not so easy as you think using system copy option. You have to export the system from your source system and then import into new server using sapinst. OS/DB migration has to be done by OS/DB certified consultant. SAP will not support if not done by certified consultant.

Hi

You need perform a heterogeneus system copy with sapinst

Chose the sap system->Software Life-Cycle options->system copy->database

And perform in tree steps

table splitting preparation

database istance export

It create a export database, and with the sapinst you import in Target system
