Heterogeneous copy tool compatibility

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to find out if the heterogeneous copy tools for a 4.6C system are compatible with a copy from Solaris/Oracle 8.1.7 to Windows/Oracle 10.2.

I can see that 4.6C is supported on 10.2 but cannot find any definite statement to say that the copy tools will work with 10.2.

Has anyone done this kind of migration recently ?

Would I be better to go from 8.2.7 to 9.2 then upgrade to 10.2?

Regards

Thanks for all your responses.

They helped me make my mind up about the migration to 9.2 then upgrade to 10.2 afterwards.

Hi

That will be the better choice to upgrading from 8.2 to 9.2

Just for hetrogeneous copy go to service market place and check in installation and upgrade link there u will get the proper documentation

Hi,

If you not going to upgrade the sap version than it is better to go for oracle 9.2

because 10.2 oracle version will not support kernal 6.40 or less

but as we see the oracle will close his support for 9.2 in next 1 or 2 year

Suggest you to upgrade you sap version also

Hello,

Thanks for that. I will be upgrading to ECC 6 once the migration is complete.

Note 720886 does seem to suggest that 4.6C running a 4.6D_EXT kernel is supported on 10.2 and the product availability matrix also shows 4.6C supported on 10.2.

But I agree that it would probabay be better to migrate to 9.2 first then upgrade to 10.2 during the SAP upgrade.

-> 10.2 will smoothly run with kernel 46D_EXT...fully suppported by SAP!

-> oracle 9 will be desupported by 30th of june 2007...

copy tools could work...sap does not support oracle upgrade from 8.0.x to 10.x...to be on the safe site, install 9.2 on the target box, install sap central instance, use oracle 8 export as import on target box (this works!) and upgrade oracle afterwards to 10.2...have a look at sapnote 720886
