Big Endian to Little Endian Converter

733 Views

Hello,

due to the fast development of processors and RAM I have to think about migrating our big SAP Systems from Solaris to Linux. The problem is the downtime. With heterogenous system copy I can do a copy of 1 TB database within 24 hours (using options like table splitting, 70 GB cache_size, 12 parallel processes and parallel exporting and importing).

A homogenous system copy needs a downtime of about 30 minutes (full backup, inkremental backup, log-files). So it would be fine if I could change plattform this way.

Does anyone know an "endian converter"?

I was about to write a development request to bc-db-sdb, but it is not possible anymore. Would be nice to use backup/restore to change endian type.

Does the development team of MaxDB think about a "Endian Converter"?

Best Regards

Andreas
