Hi Experts ,

Thanks for your valuable inputs , if we want to do this migration without having any certified consultant then will SAP not provide any support for this?

82478  - SAP system OS/DB migration

To execute an OS/DB migration, the following are required:
    1. A technical consultant, specially certified for OS/DB migrations, executes the migration locally, irrespective of whether you are migrating a development system, a test system or a productive system. This ensures that the required "know-how" is available to deal with the complexity of the situation.
    2. You use the migration check for the operating system or the database to migrate production systems.
SAP can provide hotline support for the migration only if both of these prerequisites are met, you use a copying technique that is supported by SAP, and you use the correct migration tools. In general, the tools that are provided in the installation kit up to Basis Release 4.6D are not released for an operating system or database migration (at least not for data export). As of Basis release 6.x, the installation kits contain all of the required tools.
If the prerequisites are not met, we must inform you that SAP cannot provide any SAP Support Line support for your migration. All support during the migration, when solving inconsistencies and performance problems, and if data loss occurs, can be provided by SAP only as a consulting service that is subject to charge
