Hi,
I am in R/3 Enterprise 4.7 windows 2000 server, oracle 9.0.4.
I have to prepare to upgrade my landscape to ECC 6.0 in the same platform (oracle, and windows 2000).
Could you please tell me what the prerequis to perform this upgrade on the same OS (W2k).
Thank you in advance.

have a thorough and deep look into the corresponding upgrade guide...
-> you will need a key generated by a sap solution manger...so you should have one installed
-> you will need to upgrade your oracle to 10g (eg. 10.2.0.2)
-> you will need to upgrade to windows 2003 (have a look at PAM)
-> you might have to switch to 64bit...
-> you might want to switch to UNiCODE...
as always....start PREPARE, follow the hints given, fulfill all prerequisites and start SAPUP afterwards (according to your planning)...

Hi Andreas,
We are trying to upgrade from SQL2000/4.6c (32-bit) to SQL2005/ECC6 (64bit). Also, we are trying to perform this upgrade on a new x86-64bit platform.
We have documented a rough plan for the upgrade process as follows...
1. Install Win2003 on new x86-64bit server
2. Install 4.6C & SQL2000 on new server
3. Perform homogeneous copy from PRO to new server
4. Upgrade to SQL2005
5. Upgrade to ECC6
Can you please tell me if this is sound? If not, can you please kindly suggest a better way to upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6 & to migrate from 32bit to 64bit at the same time?
Any comment from you will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Regards

If you will install SQL Server 2000, the 32-bit version will be installed. I do not think that you can easily upgrade to SQL Server 2005 64-bit in this case. Better to install 64-bit version of SQL Server 2005 from the beginning and make the system copy (SAP note 151603) to it directly. After you can install 4.6 CI according the note 965145.
Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply and sorry about the double post. Appreciate your help!
Now, I have modified my draft plan to :
1. Install Win2003
2. Install SQL 2005
3. Install 4.6C ?
4. Perform SQL system copy ?
5. Upgrade to ECC6
Do I install 4.6c before or after the system copy?
Please kindly reply. Thanks.

If you are planing to upgrade a 4.7 system to ECC6, please DO NOT use any 4.6 software.
That is nonsense.
Some people here are not able to carefully read details of questions and just cut & paste stuff they have written once. stupid!
you have severyl options, depending on your needs.
1. you can update your SAP System on your machine (not done very often because you typically do not have the production environment as test environment)
2. you can perform a system copy of your source system to a test hardware (which may later run the production). This is the common method testing and running the upgrade.
it starts with an homogenious system copy (see system copy guides). Typically the target system of the systemcopy did already fullfill the requirements for the ECC6 upgrade (Windows 2003 64 BIT -not required but very strongly recommended, Oracle10 or SQLServer 2006...)
as Andreas already mentioned: reading the SAP System Upgrade Guide is not an option, it's a must!
