SCS and AS migration

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues,

I believe that somebody might help me with this.

We have a distributed dual stack system based on NW 7.1, with Oracle DB on one Windows 2008 R2 server and SCS/AS on another Windows 2003 server.

Now we have to upgrade SCS/AS server to Windows 2008 R2.

Assuming that we won't perform an in-place upgrade, we have to perform a system copy. This procedure, as it is described in the system copy guide, normally includes database export and import.

Is it possible to migrate SCS and AS instances without performing database export and import? If yes, please point me to some documentation (guide).

Kind regards,

Grigor

Hello

You could do an inplace upgrade of the OS

This should be OK as long as DB and kernel are supported on both versions of OS

Contact Microsoft as far as I know they would support this os upgrade also

Hi,

Recommended procedure is system copy only. But since you are not changing OS and distributed system architecture for database then you can do database restore as well following system copy method only.

Thanks

Hi Sunny,

I am fine with system copy procedure instead of in-place upgrade. But, since I will not change DB server in any way, I wonder if there is a way to avoid DB export and import.

Could somebody explan what would be the purpose of DB export and import in this case, because DB server is not upgraded/migrated/changed?

Kind regards,

Grigor
