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,

Edit script and Add this line:

case "6.3" OSFamily = "Windows8"

under line

case "6.2" OSFamily = "Windows8"

Best regards

It is not suggested to edit the script file, as it reflects the OS x DB matrix restrictions.

For example, SQL Server 2008 (R2) is not supported by SAP in Windows 2012 (R2).
