Homogeneous Copy Between x86 platform and x64 platform

Dear All,
we have doing a migration from and BW older system with x86 32 bits and W2000server/SQL2000server with BW 3.1C, so the target system is an AMD machine x64 64 bits wih Operating system 2003server/SQL2000server and BW 3.1C.
we have been talking with SAP OSS support and the conclusion is that this configuration is not supported for SAP for BW 3.1c SQL2000 and W2003server with x64.
Nevertheless we need to do this migration because after the migration we have to do an upgrade to BI 70/SQL2005 and W2003 in this machine
The problem here is the SAPinst for BW 3.1c is for x86-32bits and not for x64-64bits, so do you know some way of do that, I mean if we can use some sapinst diferent for do the installations, or if someone already did this migration before???
Best Regards and thanks very much

Ernest,
I think you are stuck in terms of your current strategy. SAP does not have a 64 bit kernel for BW 3.1 on an NT platform. What you'll most likely need to do is to upgrade the SAP system to a release that has a 64 bit NT kernel - BI 7.0 on the WAS700 kernel. The problem you'll run into here is that you'd be attempting to get a BW 3.1 system onto a 64 bit OS and only have a 32 bit kernel for the SAP system - this will lead to myriad of technical issues that you do not want to contend with I'm sure.
Otherwise, you'll run into the issue of not having the proper kernel components to make the jump. While sometimes it is necessary to move briefly to an unsupported platform combination to get to the OS/DB platform you need, you have to make sure that there are technical tools from SAP available first.
You may need to rethink the strategy here and make sure that for each jump, you'll have the tools needed.
Please let me know how this works out for you - I'm sure that in the near future, many of us will also need to contend with such an situation.
Cheers,
Tim

  • Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system

    Hello,
    we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.
    Regards,
    Alexander

    Hi,
    without conversion client copy is not possible

  • Problems with copying between Adobe Illustrator and keynote

    I have recently switched from Tiger to Snow Leopard. A lot of my keynote presentations have started acting up since. Many images that I copied from Adobe Illustrator (CS3) are reported as "missing" when I open the presentations. Also, some Adobe illustrator arrangements give keynote problems when I copy them into a presentation now. The problem here is that I can copy them into keynote but then I cannot duplicate them or copy-paste them again. If I save a presentation containing such images and try to open it after closing it, the same problem about "missing" images becomes apparent.
    In comparing with other computers used by my colleagues I have established that this does not have anything to do with my computer. It turns out, any machine running Snow Leopard has these problems but any machine running Tiger or Leopard does not. The problem is present in both keynote 4.0.4 and 5.0.4.
    In trying to narrow down the problem I found out the following. The problem is text box based. If I copy a text field (or an arrangement containing one of these) from illustrator into keynote and if that text field contains more than one line, and if that line break is mediated by the "shift-return" key combination, the problems I mentioned show up.
    Does anyone have the same problems/know a solution? It is quite a major flaw for me, it essentially means I can dump all my old keynote presentations.
    Cheers

    Welcome to the discussions, thetwelfthman.
    In copying these from Illustrator to Keynote, I'm assuming that they are pasting into Keynote as a PDF? Also, is there any difference between printing to a PDF then dragging that in and just copying/pasting into Keynote?

  • Modification dates change when moving/copying between hard-drive and flash

    I use a flash drive to store most of my work-related documents on. That way, I have them when I'm at school (on a Windows XP computer) and at home on my Mac OS 10.3.9. I
    try to occasionally back-up my flash drive by dragging it's contents to my Mac. Copying in this direction USUALLY retains the appropriate modification date.
    However, if I move things from the Mac to the USB drive (I occasionally make changes to a file on the Mac when my flashdrive isn't handy), the modification date changes to the copy/move date. Is there a way around this? It alters the information about the file and sometimes makes a version look newer than another version of a document. When in reality, it’s older--it’s just been moved/copied and the date changed.
    I often move things back and forth for backup purposes, but if it keeps changing the dates on it’s own, it’s impossible to tell which is REALLY the
    most current copy/version.
    Is there a fix so that copying and moving files between volumes does NOT change the modification date of the file?

    Hi, teacher. When my Lexar JumpDrive Secure is formatted as a MS-DOS volume so a PC can read it, the last-mod dates of files that I copy to it are changed to the date and time of copying. When it's formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume, the original last-mod dates are copied to it unchanged. Looks like you can thank Bill Gates for the inconvenience: apparently it's a DOS file system "feature". Don't you wish you could use Windoze all the time?
    On second thought, the files really are changed when you write them to a DOS volume, because the DOS file system has no place to store the metadata about your files that a Mac pays attention to and a Windoze box doesn't. So when you write Mac files to a DOS volume, that metadata — which is part of each Mac file — is simply discarded, causing the last-mod date to change.

  • Serial Console on x86 Platform

    After several hours of searching online documentation I have been unable to find any information on using the serial port as the console on x86. I'm working on drivers for x86 and of my realmode drivers panics during the install. The system then reboots itself. The messages scroll to fast to read, but if I could get serial console working, I would have them saved off. If anyone know to get this working, I would appreciate a hint. If it's even supported.
    -bmb-

    Recently, I faced a similar situation that I have to get serial console from x86 machine on sparc machine.
    By setting up a tipline, you can access a console from x86 remotely.
    1. Setting on x86
    First, you should set "serial console" on x86 Configuration Assistant Screen.
    Please refer to docs.sun.com(http://docs.sun.com).
    Solaris 7:
    "x86: Menus Displayed During
    the Device Identification Phase"
    in System Administration Guide, Volume I
    Solaris 8:
    "Menus Displayed During the Device
    Identification Phase"
    in System Administration Guide, Volume I
    As other way, you can use the following eeprom command also,
    or you can edit /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc file directly to have an effect permanently.
    (in case of using COM1)
    # eeprom input-device=ttya
    # eeprom output-device=ttya
    2. Get console output
    If you connect serial cable between x86 machine and sparc machine and executed the tip command,
    # tip hardwire
    you can get console output from x86.
    As default, you can connect COM1(x86) to serial port A(sparc). If you use port B on sparc, you have to modify /etc/remote file.
    If you can not succeed, there is a possibility that the serial cable is not suitable.
    Although I've not tried between two x86 machines, the same way might be applicable.
    Thanks,

  • Move/Copy between Libraries failing

    SP13 user attempted to move/copy between identical libraries and failed and they had design rights and the process failed.  I read need Full Control so I granted user Full Control to the both Libraries.  In fact I added them to an AD group that
    has full control for the site.
    Initial comment with Designer Rights
    I am attempting to move all the files & metadata from ‘HR Photo Library’ to ‘Employee Photo Library’.
    Both Libraries are the same & contain 1 special column.
    I have access to the Site Setting Management area where the ‘Move’ action is done.
    But when I attempt to Actions> Move> Employee Photo Library> Ok, I then get a Prompt
    “Inadequate permissions to ‘Employee Photo Library’ to complete this operation. Choose a different target.”
    They indicate still fails with following comment when they have full control rights
    When I Move/Copy, the columns are updated in the destination library, but the files fail to be transferred.
    Failures happen when moving items from:
    Same Site: Picture Lib > Pic Library
    Same Site: Document Lib > Document Library
    Same Site: Picture Lib > Document Library
    Cross Site: Picture Lib > Pic Library
    Cross Site: Document Lib > Document Library
    ANY IDEAS?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that it failed when you moved/copied documents from one library to another with full control via Content and Strucutre feature.
    As you said you added the users via AD groups, please add the users into the SharePoint site owners group, compare the result.
    And in your reply, whether you meant the site administrator can move the actions.

  • OCS 10.1.2 on Solaris 10 x86 Platform

    Can any one tell me whether OCS 10.1.2 supports Solaris 10 x86 Platform?
    On the download page it says;
    Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 32-bit)
    But we all know SPARC is 64-bit. Can someone clarify this.
    Thanks!
    Ravin

    Hi,
    Yes - that's a little confusing; Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g is certified on a 64b Solaris SPARC. (The story behind the 32b is a long one, but it's related to client libraries vs. database servers and how 32b/64b liibraries are distinguished).
    To answer your real question, though, No - it's not supported on Solaris x86.

  • Installation of Solaris 8 (x86 Platform Edition

    Hi guys,
    I have downloaded the Solaris 8 for intel version and burnt them into CDs. (3 CDs). I tried to download the Solaris (x86 Platform Edition) Device Configuration Assistant Boot Diskette, but instead of downloading, it opens in another Internet explorer window. I tried pressing shift while downloading, that doesn't work. And also I tried to boot using the Solaris installation CD for installing, it says cannot boot from CDROM. Please help me. How can I proceed with installation?
    With regards,
    Amin

    Well I had undergone the same problem, what I did was then use Netscape Enterprise Browser, and there is worked just fine, and was able to save the file onto my pc, without it being opening in an another window, so if possible use Netscape Browser and try and see what happens. Hope this helps you.

  • WLP 10.2 on Solaris 10 for x86 platform

    We wish to run WebLogic Portal 10.2 using Solaris 10 for the x86 platform, but discovered that this configuration is not supported by BEA. Does this mean it will not work? If it work, what is the risks using it in a production environment?
    Thanks.

    My intention is to:

            solaris11 for x86 (in vmware)do with the resumption of tests.
             use sap  With a version that sunos_64 for sparc,Feasible?
    No.
    SunOS SPARC is a BigEndian platform whereas SunOS on X64 is LittleEndian, you won´t be able to restore the backup there.
    See note 552464 - What is Big Endian / Little Endian? What Endian do I have?
    On top of that, there´s no database installation for Solaris x64 for 6.40 versions.

  • Copy Control between Sales Orders and Deliveries

    Hi Gurus,
    please can you tell me why copy control between Sales Order and Delivery doesn't work?
    At header level, into copy control, we can set 2 requirement routines, one as general requirement for copying (TVCPL-AUBED) and the other one as requirement for grouping orders into deliveries (TVCPL-AUZUS).
    At header level we can also set a routine for data transfer to define how data are passed from Sales Order header to Delivery header (TVCPL-GRUAK).
    Then we can set routines at item level, one as requirement (TVCPL-AUBED) and one as data transfer (TVCPL-GRUAP).
    When delivery is created with VL10A transaction, at header level only the first  general requirement routine is used (FV50B***). Grouping requirement is not used (we also set a break point and the program is not passing into this routine).
    Then it is used the requirement routine at item level (FV50B***).
    Please can you tel me how we camake working the routine for grouping requirement at header level?
    Thank you very much.
    Kind Regards
    Andrea

    Hi, we used standard routine even if to be sure we run also the generation report you mentioned.
    Please any other suggestions?
    Thank you very much.
