Migration and Upgrade from SAP SCM 7.0 EHP3 on Windows 2008 to SAP SCM 7.0 EHP4 on Windows 2019

[marco-pattaro]

Dear Experts,

we need to migrate and upgrade our SAP SCM system from:

source: SAP SCM 7.0 EHP3 on Windows 2008 R2 and DB2 10.05.0003 and Livecache 7.9.08.38 (NW 7.40 SP06, SAP Kernel 7.42 SP400)

to:

target: SAP SCM 7.0 EHP4 on Windows 2019

We are evaluating the possibility to perform this activity in 2 steps:

1) create a new Windows 2019 server
2) perform an heterogeneous system copy of SCM 7.0 EHP3 system from Win2008 to Win2019 server
3) perform upgrade from SCM 7.0 EHP3 to SCM 7.0 EHP4 on Win2019 server

Unfortunately we checked that we can not proceed with step 2) since SCM 7.0 EHP3 is not supported as per SAP PAM, so we can not proceed in this way.

Can you please provide some details about how to perform this migration?

Thanks a lot in advance for your support.

According to the SAP PAM, EHP3 for SAP SCM 7.0 is supported on WINDOWS SERVER 2019 with the DATABASE DB2/400 V7R5, like the EHP4. https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/support/pam/pam.html#ts=20&s=EHP3%20FOR%20SAP... 

I don't know much about DB2, to say if a heterogeneous copy is needed or not. But your plan is doable.

Hi Martin, DB2 Version is LUW not on IBMi series.
