Instalallation of separate JAVA stack

Hi,

We currently has a NW BI 7.0 system with all components on one server (DUAL Stack) u2013 same SID for ABAP and Java running on HP-UX/Oracle 10.2.0.3.

For performance reasons, we now want to move the java components (AS JAVA, EP, EPC, BI JAVA) to a dedicated Linux (Red Hat) server with separate SID for JAVA stack.

The question has arisen about whether we could / should leave the Oracle database schema where it currently is u2013 or have separate Oracle database installed on the new server too. We are concerned about Oracle licensing implications (currently on site wide license, but may be moving to processor based in future....).

Any advice or white papers here would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Rajeev
