We are planning an upgrade of our SAP BW NetWeaver 7.5 system which is currently running on SAP HANA 1.0 SPS12.
Our system landscape is as follows:

• SAP BW 7.5 Application Server running on Windows

• SAP HANA Database running on Linux
While running SAP Maintenance Planner for this system, the target database recommended is SAP HANA Database 2.0 SPS08 (Revision 89) for Linux.
We would like to confirm the following points from SAP:
Whether SAP HANA 2.0 SPS08 Rev. 89 is the correct and supported target version for BW NetWeaver 7.5 when upgrading from HANA 1.0 SPS12.
Whether the mixed OS landscape (Application Server on Windows and HANA Database on Linux) is fully supported for this upgrade scenario.
Whether the upgrade path using SUM with DMO (Database Migration Option) from HANA 1.0 to HANA 2.0 is the recommended and supported approach for this system.
Kindly confirm that the target selected by Maintenance Planner (HANA 2.0 SPS08 Rev. 89 on Linux) is the correct upgrade path for our BW 7.5 system so that we may proceed accordingly.
Your confirmation will help us finalize our upgrade plan.

Our BW system is running with SAP Kernel 7.49. Please confirm that Kernel 7.49 is fully supported for BW 7.5 on SAP HANA 2.0 SPS08, and that there is no conflict between PAM and the relevant SAP Notes for this kernel level.

You need to check SAP note 1948334 - SAP HANA Database Update Paths for SAP HANA Maintenance
Revisions, that specifies in detail the supported and unsupported update paths.

There is a HANA Client version for Windows, so it's possible to have the Application Server there.

Kernel 7.49 is no longer supported, you need to go at least to 7.53. This one is also marked as DCK, so it supports Netweaver 7.50.
