Windows is little endian, HP-UX is big endian - so you need to use loadercli to migrate the database. Backup/Restore won't work.

Hi Rajasekhar,

this should be obvious. You want to access data in the database (in order to export it).

Therefore, the database needs to be in ONLINE mode.

The time needed to export your data obviously depends on: your data, your hardware, your network...

There is no way to generally predict this. That's one reason for making a test migration - to get a good time estimation.

Hi Lars Breddemann

i  have a question: In The release 7.7  Sapdb or later is possible do a sapdb's backup installed on windows  and restore it on platform unix or linux.

Exist any procedure different to Export/Import to do this?

Hi there,

yes that has been possible basically since ever!?

The only thing to watch out for is that the byte order of the underlying system cannot be different.

So migrating from 32bit Windows to 64bit Linux x86 will work, but not e.g. to a Solaris system.

There are a number of comprehensive SAP notes available on that topic - not hard to find actually...

This depends on whether you change the platform change involves a switch of the byte order as well.

What hardware platform will the new server be?

Besides that, you cannot copy/upgrade in one step. So you'd either have to do the upgrade first and perform the copy then or vice versa.

regards,

Lars
