Hi Deepak-san,

Thank you for yor response.

Observed that in PAM,

For SAP 4.0B, Windows 2003 64 bit version is not available and Oracle 9.2 is the Maximum supported version for SAP 4.0B

I  am not sure, I have checked the PAM correctly or not.

Could you please confirm the step1 to step3 ?.

Please suggest, provide if any other right strategy?

Thanks

Thiru

Hi Thiru,

Please refer SAP note  960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64)

Oracle:

=====================================
On Windows Server 2003 X86_64 (64-bit), you may only use Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) software for X86_64 (64-bit) as a database. Note 949116 describes the installation (homogenous system copy) of old products that were not originally released on Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2). If you want to make the copy using the backup/restore procedure, for which the source database was not yet upgraded to Oracle 10.2, see Note 932722.

The following table indicates the special features of the migration to 64-bit (SAP system specifications relate to the kernel release).

Additionally refer below SAP notes which shall help in upgrade procedure

906205 - Upgrading SAP systems <=4.6 on x86_64 on Oracle Windows

932722 - Upgrade to Oracle 10.2 during a database copy

985341 - Oracle 10g Support on Windows for 3.1I based SAP Systems


Hope this helps.
