Homogeneous system copy from ORacle 10.2 to 11.2 ?

[Farid]

Hello,

We are moving our SAP infrastructure to a new datacenter.

We are currently running 15 SAP systems (ABAP and J2EE) on HP-UX 11.23, Oracle 10.2 and are planning to relocate our

SAP instances on HP-UX 11.31 ( Oracle 11.2 Ready) but we intend to stay on Oracle 10.2 and then in a few months upgrade to Oracle 11.2, to benefit from full SAP support.

We will be using the homogenous system copy technique.

Is it possible to perfrom an homogeneous system copy from Hp-UX 11.23 Oracle 10.2 to HP-UX 11.31 to Oracle 11.2 ?

I am quite certain that I have read a similar discussion on SDN, but I can't find it anymore.

Thank you very much.

I disagree with Arjun. Yes, its possible to use an export of 10g to do an heterogeneous system copy and import into 11g... This not an issue.

No, you cannot perform Homogeneous system copy from 10.2 to 11.2, you have to export and import the database using SAPINST Otherwise, upgrade 10G to 11G and perform homogeneous system copy.

Refer this note

Note 1031960 - Recommendations and availability of HP-UX 11.31

It would be a gateway for your HP n Oracle releases.

Hi,

You can check compatibility via PAM section on SAP Market place.

however , it is allowed to migrate to below new combination considering your SAP platform as NW 7.0.
