Data center migration

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have requirement to move SAP ERP ,BW , HR applications to different datacenters. Source and target have different versions of Oracle , Windows. I would request your suggestions on migration methodology. Whether we can use backup / restore or need to follow SWPM export / import procedure.

Source landscape :

OS : Windows 2012

DB : Oracle 12.2

Target landscape

OS : Windows 2019

DB : Oracle 19C

Thanks,

Ramesh

Hello Bibin,

Thank you for response.

I have 2 questions. could you please clarify.

1. Source and target windows are different versions (2012 to 2019). Still backup & restore possible ?. As per system copy guide both source and target have same binaries.

2. As per PAM Oracle 12.2 can support Windows 2012, 2016 not 2019. but as per requirement target OS should be windows 2019 and huge downtime required restore + Oracle upgrade + OS upgrade. Please suggest possible minimized downtime alternative.

Thanks,

Ramesh
