Upgrade from ERP 5 to ERP 6.0 EHP 6

[former_member317844]

Hi,

I am dooing an migration/upgrade from ERP 5.0 on AIX Oracle to ERP 6.0 EHP 6 on Windows.

I did the migration from AIX Oralce to Windows 2003 MSSQL 2005 and now I need to upgrade to ERP 6.0 EHP 6.

SUM says that the OS (2003) and DB (2005) is not supported so my question is, how do I continue as ERP 5.0 is only supported on Windows 2003 MSSQL 2005.

Can I make a system copy (database backup/restore) to Windows 2008 MSSQL 2008 and with what tool.

What is the path?

Ok, I found the correct path.

The migration from Oracle/AIX is done to Windows 2012R2 mssql 2008R2 with modified kernel CD tihe latest 6.40 EXT2 kernel and sqlclient 2005 (for R3Load connection to DB)

After this the database is upgraded to 2012R2 (<60 min.)

from here it is a "Normal" SUM.

Hi Torben.

I think you upgrade takes places in three different steps.

1. From the current version to SAP ECC 6.0 with NW 7.0 SP level 14 & above.(NW 7.0 SR3)(On Windows 2003 with MS Sql 2005)

2. Upgrade the OS / DB to Windows 2008 R2 with MS Sql 2008 R2 (Standard system copy backup / Restore method)

3. From SAP ECC 6.0 with NW 7.0 SP level 14 & above.(NW 7.0 SR3) to target release ERP 6 EHP6 or 7.
