Client copy from Unix to Windows

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to do client copy from my existing unix server to newly installed windows server but the package levels are different. So is it possible to do client copy with different package level or do i need to make sure that package levels are same??

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

For this you need to go with heterogeneous system copy method .

Thanks Gaurav for the quick response. So client export/import is not applicable in this case wright??

Hi Sam

In place of Client you are going to perform the SAP full system export /import ( SAP Heterogeneous system copy) since your SAP system package & OS /DB level are different you have to perform the heterogeneous system copy method

As your OS are different ,so it would be best to opt heterogeneous system copy.

Hello Sam,

This is the only option in case SAP system packages OS or Database levels are different.You can find procedures to perform heterogeneous system copy through http://service.sap.com.

Hi Sam

Kindly follow the steps

1. Do the system copy Heterogeneous system copy method(Export the source system) Since you OS /DB are different

2. Do the import in the target system. and do the post actions as mention in the system copy guide

3. Create the new client in the target system.and then do the client copy with in the target system

4. once every thing are fine you can clear the old client.

As per my knowledge client nothing to do with o.s version.

But database should be same on both system.

client copy just check patch level of both sap system that it.
