Solution Manager Migration

[Gustavo_Goicochea]

Hi people, we are going to migrate our existing SolMan on a virtual Windows with SQL Server DB to an AIX with DB2 physical server.

But the question we need to ask you is about if there is some recommendation (from your experience) about what things we need to consider at that moment regarding Monitoring, SLD, CHARM, Service Desk, etc.

Whats your experience about that kind of migration, how traumatic they result?

thanks & regards

Gustavo

Hi Gustavo

My experience from other customers is that migration will not solve a big mess - in any case it will just transfer the mess to another location ideally please check for possible solutions first before migration - perhaps these are known issues and resolvable

My experience of Solution Manager is that configuration is source and target specific- certainly all RFCs have to be adapted

for the target environment and possible RFC conflicts (naming conflicts etc) avoided

At the same time it may not be possible to migrate all content for all scenarios - this would depend on BASIS

migration or transport tools or indeed any application specific tools please check
