Good Morning Community 😊,
First of all just let me tell you this will be my first ever migration of this kind, so it will be a challenge.
I need to plan ASAP a migration of two ERP 6 (Windows 2003 SP2, ORACLE 10.2.0.4, a development and a production) to new servers in another domain.
What was already discussed and must be done, is that the servers will have Windows 2008 and ORACLE 11g release 2, maintaining the ERP as is.
As you may imagine i have a lot of questions, and i'm asking for you help on this:
- Can you tell me where's SAP official documentation for this kind of migration?
- Is it possible, using SAP tools, to export the current system (ORACE 10.2.0.4) and then, after installing the ERP and ORACLE 11g r2, import it to the new system? Or i need to first install SAP ERP with ORACLE 10.2.0.4 in the target system and only after the import upgrade the database? Again, where can i find documentation on this?
- More... If possible to export and import (using SAP Tools) as i ask in question 2 (export ORACLE 10.2.0.4 and import in ORACLE 11g r2) can i use the same export from production to import to the new development in order to have the most recent data? Is this a good way to do it?
- The new servers should have new hostnames. Using Export / Import method (if possible the way i'm thinking) is transparent to the change in the new hostnames, or something must be done after?
Well, for now i think those are my initial doubts, can any of you help me on have some guidance on this? (I hope this is the correct forum, if not, please tell me the right one).
Best Regards,
Pedro
