OS/DB Migration AIX to Linux

[stefan_koehler]

Hello guys,

i will peform and test some OS/DB Migration from AIX to Linux.

The following systems are going to be migrated:

• 6.40 (Oracle 9i on AIX 64 Bit) to 6.40 (Oracle 9i on Linux 64 Bit)

• 7.00 (Oracle 10g on AIX 64 Bit) to 7.00 (Oracle 10g on Linux 64 Bit)

Now my question:

1) Are there any Migration Guides for that like the unicode conversion guides? (i don't find any document)

I know that i need some certified os/db migration expert to be keep the support.. but i want to test it before on my own.

Thanks and Regards

Stefan

You will also need to get a migration key from SAP Support. Consider that an SAP resource needs to be involved in order to maintain support of the migrated system(s). We successfully migrated our QA SAP 4.6C/Oracle 9.2 system from AIX-> Linux a few years ago. Export import took forever (days), suggest you benchmark the export/import and review SAP notes relating to large import/exports before doing so...
