content server migration 7.3 -> 7.9

[Oier]

Hello,

i have to migrate  SAP content server 6.3 to a newest version 6.5.

It is running on a Windows 2003 32bits server and the database build is 7.3.00.35 which is quite old!!!

I´m not sure how to update the database to 7.9 in an easy way.

The new server for this is a Server 2008R2 64bits system where i will install a new empty database (version 7.9.08.08) and then to restore the backup from the old content server there.

I have read the note 129352  to do a system copy of the database, but I don't know if it is possible for the version of the old database.

Does anyone of the forum experts know a better way for such a migration?

Thank you in advance

Hi ,

Please refer SAP note

962019 - System Copy of SAP MaxDB Content Server Database

It could be a 2 step migration

MaxDB 7.3 -> 7.6

MaxDB 7.6  -> 7.9

Request you to follow the pre-requisites and guidelines in above SAP note for migration steps.

You may also refer to guidelines described in thread

Hope this helps.
