Fellow Basis Geeks. When I repeatedly stated I have run a CI on one OS and an additional DI on Windows Server, the response was u201CI donu2019t believe you.u201D
Evidence for my case: Note 608617 (as well as my own personal experience).
Evidence presented against my case: Notes 1067221, 1148109, 1112809. A quote highlighted is "The SAP Kernel patch level must be identical on all concurrently running platforms within on SAP system... These are automatically distributed to the Windows application server(s) the next time you start the SAP system. This is called the SAPCPE processu201D. This quote was followed by the remark u201CThere is absolutely no way then this directory when referenced, can UNIX binaries be copied to a Windows platform.u201D
This quote and the remark demonstrate, in my opinion, a misunderstanding of the differences between kernel patch levels and platform-dependent binary versions as well as the actual purpose of SAPCPE.
Ironically, I think the mentioned OSS notes actually support my case.
So, please help with your own comments and, especially, actual experience of doing this. By the way, my experience was solely with the ABAP stack but it appears this is also supported for the JAVA stack now, at least for the combination Iu2019m interested in today (SCS/CI on AIX and DI on Windows Server). This is stated in the PDF attached to note 1067221.
Thanks,
Alan.
