Hi,

The project consists of applying the sps, convert to unicode and then migrate the version of the OS you BD.

What path can to make this upgrade while respecting the technical constraints?

OS : linux

Bd : oracle

ECC 6.0

Hi,

So you want to upgrade your SPS level, followed by a unicode conversion and then migrate from (linux+ oracle) but to what OS/DB combination?

basically you can migrate from any DB and OS combination to any other with very small restrictions.

Check out this link:

If you have any questions please let me know.

Cheers

Thank you.

Just I want to know the best practice to achieve this change.

is that I share the project in two steps (two projects):

Step 1 - Apply SP

Step 2 - convert unicode while migrating OS / BD (linux 4.5 to 6.x, Oracle 10g to 11g) + review the architeture of the landscape.

You cannot club SP update with the migration and unicode conversion.

These are two different tasks. You can combine migration and UC conversion.

I would follow this :

1 - SP update

2 - Migration and UC conversion

Good Luck

Aha ok.

During the export phase, you can select "Unicode conversion" as target DB.

So it is possible to do a system copy (os/db migration) & an unicode conversion in the same time.

So in your case backup/restore is not needed, just export/import

The steps should be:

1) Upgrade your SPS

2) export as UNICODE (r3load)

3) import as unicode (r3load)

Correct. Both OS/DB migration and unicode conversion use DB export/import. You can do them as separate steps, but you might as well combine them to save time.

in parallel, what impact that may arise on the BI landscape during the two steps of the project?.

and what are the prerequisites to prepare before starting?

Thank you in advance.

technically, is that it is possible to export (r3load) bd Version oracle 10.2.0.2 and import it (r3load) using version 11g during OS/DB migration and unicode conversion.?

Thank you.
