Solution Manger Migration

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi All,

We would like to migrate Solution Manager 4.0 server which is on IA64(windows) Server to x64.

Is it possible to migrate Solution Manager 4.0 from IA64 system to x64 system? or do we have to migrate to IA64 only?

Please provide details with a confirmed response?

Thanks & Regards,

Hii.. i have gone through your issue....

Try to check Oracle database listener service status...whether it is in running state or not?

If it is in Windows.......go to services and start listener service

If it is in Unix ...log in to database user....su - ora<SID>

lsnrctl status

Hi

Could you please share the link for system copy of Solution Manager?

I have not found it in serivice market place.

still I have cofusion whether i can migrate from IA64 to X86 or not? Here only OS change from IA64 to x86, no database change, or no version change.

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Mr Paruchuri,

Yes, there is no single document in market place with guidance with solution manage system copy. Earlier I have been advised about using the std "Netweaver System Copy" method.

But, you should raise the question about what about the post install steps for Solution Manager System ? If there are precise list of adjustments we need to make, it may be eaiser. But there isn't one to my knowledge.

What are all features are you using currently in Solution Manager to make planning easy ?

For eg : Service desk, chaRM, Project documentation ...

We are not using any of given features, the server is demo server.

If that is the case, why not try system copy as mentioned by Markos using Netweaver system copy document and tell us how it goes.

There is nothing for you to loose for giving it a go.

Good luck.

Just to add - I did a SolMan copy with the methodology mentioned in the Netweaver system copy guide for ABAP + Java during the weekend - and it worked without any major problems.

I am currently involved in similar one and did some work. for me OS and DB are changes, which means hardware platform as well.

For you OS is changing and version of database. Hetrogenious system copy should be better option for you. You may need OSDB migration certified specilist for all good reasons.

But, there is no document avalible for solution Manager on Servicemarket place for this. But, some people commented that we should be using Netweaver OSDB migration.

Please explain your specific Sinario ( impact on your landscape) with your migration to discuss further and more suggestions might come up if you explain further details.

Hi

I need to change only platform from IA64(windows) to x64(windows), no need to change database version. Please advice.

Are you using all features in Solution manager 4.0 ?

If you have chance and time to run you may try SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN

and then Project--> transport

I did not personally try it. What it does is generate transport. Then you can copy to destination system and import it.

But, there are limited things that will work with this method and SAP do not Garuntee this method !

If you can read my messages, please read one of the explaintation given by a person in detail.

Revert back for any questions.

This is a homogeneous system copy (for docs see http://service.sap.com/systemcopy)

Windows -> Windows,

IA64 --> x64 (both are little endian architectures).

I would export the system using sapinst (combined ABAP + Java export) and use sapinst on the target server to import the system (it's an option during installation).

I can give you the following suggestions:

- upgrade R3load.exe (and libdbsl) to the latest available version before the export

- make sure you use the correct Java SDK (downloaded from the link of note 941595 - Download J2SE 1.4.2 for the x64 platform) - do NOT use the 32bit version.

- download the same R3load.exe and libdbsl for the target platform and copy it after the kernel has been uncarred and before the import

Apart from that everything should be smooth.

Markus
