Unit-1-Introduction Exercise

Solution 1: Introduction
Task 1:

A customer plans to invest in a new and more powerful hardware for


his
ABAP-based SAP production system (no JAVA Web AS installed). As
the
operating system and database version are not up-to-date, he also
wants to change
to the latest software versions in a single step while doing the
system move.
Current system configuration: Oracle 10.2, AIX 6.1
Planned system configuration: Oracle 11.2, AIX 7.1
1. Is the planned system move a homogeneous system copy, a DB
migration or
an OS migration? Describe your solution!
a) The system move will be a homogeneous system copy. Neither
the
database nor the operating system will be changed. During a
system
copy, an upgrade to a new database or operating system software
version is not a problem, as long as the operating system and
database
combinations are supported by the respective SAP System release
and
SAP kernel version.
2. If the SAP System copy tool R3LOAD is used, will it be necessary
to
perform an operating system or database upgrade after the move?
Describe
your solution!
a) Provided the fact that the installation software is able to install
on the
target operating system version and also supports the installation
of
target database release directly, no additional OS/DB software
upgrade
will be necessary after the R3LOAD import. In the case that the new

target database is not supported by the installation software, a


database
upgrade will have to be done after the system copy.

Task 2:
An SAP implementation project must change the database system
before going
into production, because of strategic customer decisions. The
customer system
configuration was setup as a standard three-system landscape
(development,
quality assurance, production). Each system is configured as ABAP
Web AS
with JAVA Add-In.
1. Is it necessary to order a SAP OS/DB Migration Check for the
planned
database change?
a) The system landscape contains a pre-production system only. In
this
case, no OS/DB Migration Check service is necessary, as its intention
is to be used for productive systems only.
2. According the SAP System copy rules, who must do the system copies?
a) The change of a database involves a heterogeneous system copy, which
must be done from someone who is certified for OS/DB migrations.
The fact that the systems are not productive is regardless.
