How to Use Existing database while installing SAP

[Former Member]

hi geeks..

i am having some Data in SAP 4.6 C and here Oracle 8i is the database instance .

Now i am installing 4.7 E in another system and i want to use the same database (4.6 C)where all of my data is there and i hv to use the Oracle 9i this time.

Can i directly copy the database directly from 4.6 C and give the path while installing 4.7 E

Whether this will work here ???

Pls let me know the solution for this.......

Solution will be rewarded..

Thanks in Advance,

Srini.

Peter is right, here's what you should do:

<u>solution 1:</u>

upgrade your DB to Oracle 9 on actual hardware

copy DB to new system

install R/3 4.6c on new hardware

upgrade your system to R/3 4.7

<u>solution 2:</u>

install R/3 4.6c on new hardware

copy DB to new system

upgrade your DB to Oracle 9

upgrade your system to R/3 4.7

or...without the oracle upgrade:

- install 46c central instance on new box using r3setup (template central.r3s)

- install oracle 9.2 using runInstaller

- export 46c database on old box (oracle 😎 using r3setup (template dbexport.r3s)

- import the database on the new box (and oracle 9!) using r3setup (template dbmig.r3s)

- perform post-installation tasks

==> you can export an oracle under version 8.1.7 and import this data into oracle 9.2!!!

after that you can perform the upgarde from 46c to 47x200

no, that is not possible.

you have to upgrade your 4.6C system to 4.7 E.
