SAPDB Migration for Content server

[#1]

Hi Experts

we have a SAP content server 6.3 running on 32 bit windows on SAPDB 7.3 .

We are planning to move this to a Unix box ( AIX or Solaris .. not decided yet). Is there a comprehensive guide available about the procedure we need to follow ?

1. Do we need to upgrade the source DB before migration ?

2. As per MaxDB admin guide database copy from IA32 to unix does not work and as per note 962019 we need to use loadercli. Any tips on loadercli use would be welcome

3. Any relevant information from past experience of similar exercise

4. Does SAP support this migration if we do not buy the MaxDB migration service from SAP ?

Hello Lars,

I am also facing some issue in understanding above points. We are also migrating from MaxDb 7.3 to 7.9 from Windows 32 bit to Linux 64 bit. In this heterogeneous migration we dont want to touch source system for any upgrade whereas as per sap note we can used loadercli tool  with min version 7.6.05 build 15 for export and import. So just want to clear do I need to use of same version tool for windows and linux maxDB instalation CD's or can I used higher version loadercli tool for my migration.
