Hi guys,
Since we are performing a SAP System Migration from older releases of Windows/SQL Server, as detailed on SAP Note
1780433 - System copy of SAP systems on Windows 2012 : SQL Server
We need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 before upgrading the system
When running SQL4SAP Script it states the following
17/03/2014 08:13:44 p.m.
----------------------------------------
Message Box "Windows version error"
OS Family "WindowsNT6.3" is not supported by this script.
Result: vbOK
----------------------------------------
On Windows 2012 should i run the SETUP instead the script?
Thanks!
Hello
Can you please note that:
- Use a user with administration rights of your server (do not use sidadm)
- SQL4SAP script does not support cluster
- You cannot use the script to upgrade SQL Server
- Windows Server 2012 supportes: Standard Edition and Datacenter Edition
- For detail prerequisites read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.110).aspx
Best regards

Installation of MSQL2008 on
MicrosoftServer2012.
In the script sql4sap and the pdf documents, MS2012 is supported version for mssql2008. Though in PAM it is not supported.
Install NET-Framework as a pre-requisite in the windows powershell as Administrator
>Intall-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core
use script to install the database.
MicrosoftServer2012R2
If you do with setup.exe, mssql08 is installed but the options are not OK eg Collation. SAP does not get installed or import hangs etc. etc.
Edit the script sql4sap.vbs, find and replace all Windows2012 with WindowsNT6.3
Always use the modified script sql4sap in this case.

Hi All,
We are planing for OS & DB Migration from SQL 2000 / Windowns 2003 to SQL 2012 / Windows 2012 server, it would be helpful for me if you share your ideas and experience on this.
source system:
SAP : ECC 6.0
DB: SQL 2000
OS: Windows 2003
Target System:
SAP ECC 6.0
DB: SQL 2012
OS: Windows 2012
Steps:
1: Install ECC 6.0 with SQL 2008 on Windows 2012 server.
2: Take DB Backup from Source system (SQL 2000).
3: Restore source system backup(SQL 2000) into Target System (SQL 2008)
4: From there Upgrade DB from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012.
5: Start the SAP Instance.
will it be possible or i need to follow any other steps for this activity.
Regards,
Vino

Hello,
As per SAP note 1732161,
2. SQL Server
Only SQL Server 2012 is supported productively on Windows Server 2012 (R2). For information on how to install, copy, update or upgrade your SAP system on SQL Server 2012, see SAP note 1676665.
So, what you are doing here is not supported.
Thanks,
Sunny

Hi Sunny
Im following SAP Note 1780433 - System copy of SAP systems on Windows 2012 : SQL Server
in order to migrate a SAP 640 system from Windows 2003/SQL Server 2005 to Windows 2012/ SQL Server 2012
Reason and Prerequisites
This note describes how to migrate the mentioned SAP products to Windows 2012/SQL Server 2008 R2,
in order to prepare an upgrade to SAP releases based on NW 7.0 and higher.
Note, that only SAP upgrade paths are supported, that are supported by the SUM tool. For more
information about the upgrade paths supported by SUM, read the Central SUM Note referred to at
http://www.service.sap.com/SLToolset.
Immediately after the SAP upgrade, your database has to be upgraded to SQL Server 2012. SAP does in general not support SQL Server releases prior to SQL Server 2012 on Windows 2012.
I understand this is not supported from Productive system, we are performing this on a Development system for test purposes.
Nevertheless on the note says Install First SQL Server 2008 R2 and after SAP upgrade, perform upgrade of SQL Server Upgrade, so there is misleasing information.
Im not sure if a 640 System would be able to copied and upgraded in Windows 2012/SQL Server 2012
It doesnt mention that 640_EX2 Kernel Support SQL Server 2012 to install the system.
How would yo recommend a system copy restoring database on these conditions?
640 System (SQL Server 2005,Win 2003) --> 640 System (SQL Server 2012, Win 2012)
(and then Upgrading to 740)
Thanks
Hello,
You scenario is not supported because Netweaver 640 system is not supported on SQL server 2012. It is supported on SQL Server 2005. Please check PAM and based on that plan your activities because you will need to do same in production system as you are planning for upgrade. So, if it is not supported then in case of production, you will have lot of problems.
Thanks,
Sunny
