Installation of MDM 5,.5 SP06 on DB2 contra SQL2005

[Former Member]

Hi

I am very new to SAP only worked 3 months a SAP Basis (still learning a lot of new great stuff). So please be specific in your answers 🐵

Q1: We are mostly using iSeries – os/400 with DB2 databases and off course in some cases windows (x64) with a sql2005. As I read the installation guide and requirements on SAP market place MBM has to be installed on a windows box but the database could be an DB2 on os/400.

Is there anybody out there with experience with this scenario or would you recommend that I use sql2005. (if you recommend DB2 what is the process I cant find DB2 install her : Installation & Implementation Documentation Center https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004121872006E#q2 )

Q2: Regarding Monitored shipment (note : 1072842) dos anybody know when SP06 will be released for “normal” download.

P.S This is my first Q in forum so if a have to give points you might want to guide my a little.

MDM 5.5 SP05 patch 1 and later and MDM 5.5 SP06 support connecting MDM running on Windows 2003 Server on the x64 architecture to 64-bit DB2 for i5/OS V5R4 and V5R3.

For more detail, please see the OS/DB Product Availability Matrix for SAP NetWeaver MDM 5.5.

MDM 5.5 is not available on i5/OS at all.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Dear Stine,

Correct me if wrong, but I think it can now with SP06 be installed on iSeries.

Hi Stig,

As I see the best configuration for you will be MDM and a parent DB2 in different lpar's on one IBM box. I don't understand why you are writing that "MBM has to be installed on a windows box", it can be installed on AIX or pLinux as well.

Hi Lev

My only options are iSeries or Windows we do NOT use Unix or Linux, sorry about the misspell MBM should off course be MDM.
