Install SQL Server 2008 R2 in Windows Server 2012 using SQL4SAP Script

[former_member229542]

Hi guys,

Since we are performing a SAP System Migration from older releases of Windows/SQL Server, as detailed on SAP Note

1780433 - System copy of SAP systems on Windows 2012 : SQL Server

We need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 before upgrading the system

When running SQL4SAP Script it states the following

17/03/2014 08:13:44 p.m.

----------------------------------------

Message Box "Windows version error"

OS Family "WindowsNT6.3" is not supported by this script.

Result: vbOK

----------------------------------------

On Windows 2012 should i run the SETUP instead the script?

Thanks!

Hi All,

We are planing for OS & DB Migration from SQL 2000 / Windowns 2003  to SQL 2012 / Windows 2012 server, it would be helpful for me if you share your ideas and experience on this.

source system:

SAP : ECC 6.0

DB: SQL 2000

OS: Windows 2003

Target System:

SAP ECC 6.0

DB: SQL 2012

OS: Windows 2012

Steps:

1: Install ECC 6.0 with SQL 2008 on Windows 2012 server.

2: Take DB Backup from Source system (SQL 2000).

3: Restore source system backup(SQL 2000) into Target System (SQL 2008)

4: From there Upgrade DB from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012.

5: Start the SAP Instance.

will it be possible or i need to follow any other steps for this activity.

Regards,

Vino
