R3Load Procedure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm performing an upgrade to ECC 6 using Unix and oracle 8.1.6 using R3Load.For ECC 6 it's require a oracle 10 to upgrade the SAP, instead of upgrading the oracle from 8.1.6 --> 9.2.0 --> 10.2.0 step by step, can I just install Oracle 10 and import the files using R3Load?

thanks.

yes - that's a good option because of various reasons:

- initial installation with 10g will enable all features by default (AUM etc.)

- "reorganization" with the export

- usage of the new tablespace layout

If the DB is not too big I would also use that way.

yes, you can do that but this will take a lot of time if your DB is big.

upgrade from 8 to 9, and then 9 to 10 should take less than a total of 8 hours.
