Compatability of ECC DEV&QAS on Win 2008/SQL 2008 with Prdn on Win 2003/Win

[MPGraziano]

We are planning our upgrade of my SAP landscape (ECC 6.0 , Portal & BI) . Would it be feasible and do-able to migrate sandbox, dev, and qas to Windows 2008 & SQL 2008 , allow the support team to use the 2008 landscape. That means that my Dev. environments would be on Wind 2008 & SQL 2008 while my production would still be Win 2003 & 2008. I'm not feeling like this is workable for the transport domain? will I have issues with transports across to production?

So the question is

Is it possible to transport from Windows 2008 SQL 2008 landscape over to a production landscape that is on Windows 2003 SQL 2005?

Any other issues I should be aware of ?

BTW, we would have Portal and BI setup in the same way DEV & QAS on the newer releases and Production on the Older release.

NOTE: this would be for about 3 - 4 weeks

Please advise

This is for 3 to 4 weeks?

I see no big issues.

This kind of setup is supported.

you can go ahead.

Thank you,

So you're saying that if I had the DEV environment in Win 2008 SQL 2008 (being the transport domain) , and the production environment in win 2003 sql 2005, IF we had to transport across this type of landscape there should be NO issues.

Nothing else to think of as posing risk?

yes, this is what I said.

when transporting stuff, you are not Os and DB dependent.

as long as all systems sees the same transport directory, I see no issues.

and again, this is for a few weeks only.
