Does Oracle 8.1.7 support Solaris 10

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our Customer is planning for a System copy of the production System to set a test environment.

System Copy using R3load ( Export and Import )

Source System

-

---

R/3 4.6C / Oracle 8.1.7 / Solaris 8 ( SPARC64 )

Target System

-

---

Environment : R/3 4.6C / Oracle 8.1.7 / Solaris 10 ( SPARC 64 )

My Question is whether Solaris 10 support Oracle 8.1.7 ??

(According to PAM, it does not support.)

Any other important inputs are also welcome ?

Thanking you in anticipation

Hi,

update your oracle 8i to 9i or 10g

check sap note Note 156548 - Released operating systems SAP kernel 4.6x ORACLE

Operating System: SOLARIS FOR X64

^^ why upgrade?

install oracle 9.2.0.8 on your target machine and make a db export/import using r3setup (template DBEXPORT.R3S and DBMIG.R3S)...thus your database will be reorganized and you do not have to make a database upgrade from 8.1.7 to 9.2

only 9.2 and 10.2 are supported (either on solaris/sparc 8,9 or 10)

Dear Andreas,

Thanks for your reply.

If I wish to Install 9.2.0.8 and do the import should I do anything specific while I perform the Export.

and one more important thing. If i Import into 9.2.0.8, even then, I should be following the Homogeneous System Copy Guide only right. ??

Thanks for you time.

Best Regards

Make sure you run Update Statistic DB13 or at OS level ( brconnect -c -u / -f stats -t all -f collect -p 4) without errors, before you start the export

Hi,

also consider following sap notes

and as reference

Note 575308 - Inst./Sys Copy. SAP Systems on UX/Oracle 8.1.7 with R3SETUP
