Hi,

As suggested by Juan, SAP highly recommends SAP Certified OS DB Migration consultant only has to perform the migration

However, please find the list of DVD's that are required for your migration.

Instead of installation master, you need to use SWPM 1.0.. Always use the latest SWPM as per the SAP NOTE 1680045

You can download SAPJVM from ServiceMarket place itself . Go to Service.sap.com/swdc -> click on support packages  & patches  -> A to Z index -> select J -> select sapjvm4.1 ->Comprised Software Component Versions ->SAP JVM 4.1 -> Support Package Patches ->Windows on x64 64bit -> download the File

UC Kernel

51045213_6          720 UC Kernel for SWPM - Windows Server on x64 64bit

Oracle DVD's

51038964_1   ORACLE RDBMS 11.2 Windows x64 64bit 1 of 5

51038964_2   ORACLE RDBMS 11.2 Windows x64 64bit 2 of 5

51038964_3   ORACLE RDBMS 11.2 Windows x64 64bit 3 of 5

51038964_4   ORACLE RDBMS 11.2 Windows x64 64bit 4 of 5

51038964_5   ORACLE RDBMS 11.2 Windows x64 64bit 5 of 5

You will be prompted for SAPCRYPTO file.. Please download the same from the service Market place.

Hi Ashwin,

You need to use SWPM .. SAP is highly recommeding to use the SWPM instead of SAPINST.

Please see my above post to get info on how to download it.

Hi Ashwin,

I also like to repeat that since it is testing system, it is not a problem.

But in case of any production migration, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to perform the mmigration only using SAP certified consultants.

There is some procedure for production migration...

Please close the thread if your query is answered.

Thanks and Regards,

A media list is not required you simply need to follow the path to the media in SWDC.

Also, remember that OS/DB migrations should be done by a Certified Consultant and that a SAP Migration Check session must be scheduled prior the migration.

Hi juan,

Thanks for prompt response.

I am aware about the SAP Migration Check session. As this is an testing only & not a production migration, we can countinue without certified consultant.

I dont understand, "simply need to follow the path to the media in SWDC" ?

This test is a kind of migration + DB upgrade.
