Running R/3 4.7 on a Windows Server 2008 System during an upgrade

Dear all,
I am plannung an upgrade project from R/3 4.7x200 to ERP6.0. The system is running on MaxDB. It's a single stack ABAP System.
Currently the system is running on a 32 bit Windows Server 2003. During the project we want to go to a new x86 64bit hardware with OS Windows Server 2008.
In order to use the speed of the new hardware also during the upgrade I want to move the systems to the new HW before starting the upgrade.
The problem is that runnning R/3 4.7 on Windows Server 2008 is not supported by SAP. On the other hand running the target release ERP6.0 on Windows Server 2008 is officially supported by SAP. This information comes from the PAM.
From the past I know that SAP allowed to run unsupported DB, OS and Release combinations during an upgrade project but I didn't find any information which fits to my situation.
Does anyone have experience with this constellation? Is there an official statement concerning this request?
Thanks for you support!
Regards
Bernd

> So I opened the OSS Message (0000594749) to the component you mentioned but the support answered that this would be a consultant task to support me in this area (?!?)....
I know one person who works for/in this component who did this several times to me too.
> They asked me to open a thread here in SDN.
That person did that too.
> I send the message back to SAP and stated that I disagree with the statement that the confirmation of platform support is consulting...but until now I have no feedback.
Just insist on a statement. If you still get the message back, contact the CIC (support dot emea at sap dot com) since you seem to be located in the UK according to your business card) and ask them to give you a different message processor.
> So I hoped someone already has some official statement from SAP.
Those special support statements are valid for a specific installation only so even if someone would have it for their installation it may not be valid for yours.
> We would be running Production with release 4.7 on Windows 2008 for 3 weeks or so...and I will need official support for that, just for the case something goes wrong...
I don't think this should be a problem. Technically the kernel supports it (according to the note) and also the database.

  • Running oracle database xe (express edition) on windows server 2008 r2

    Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Database XE is only supported as 32-bit. Current builds of Windows Server 2008 only come in x64 configurations.
    Here are the Database XE system requirements for windows:
    [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm]
    The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.
    Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).
    See:
    - [Wikipedia page about windows server 2008 with info on R2|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008#Windows_Server_2008_R2]
    - [Wikipedia page on "windows 32-bit on windows 64-bit"|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64]
    Thanks,

    Hello Matt,
    Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?No.
    The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.So this means that only 32bit versions of 2008 will be supported.
    Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).Which is probably why 2008 R2 is not supported.
    You can either take the VM approach and install a 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Linux host, or you can queue in the list of persons waiting for a 64 bit Windows release. See the following thread for details (and the queue) for the latter: {thread:id=2277728}

  • UnsatisfiedLinkError running 32 bit on a 64 bit windows server 2008

    Hi,
    I have developped a JNI solution a while back and it runs fine on a Windows 2008 server 32 bit computer, but when running on a 64 bit windows server 2008 it gives me the following exception
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: <name of the library> (JVMPORT015E Unable to resolve DLL references - a prerequisite DLL may be missing)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibraryWithPath(ClassLoader.java:957)

    I tried specifying the library path by using the -Djava.library.path= property (once again this works fine on 32 bit version) but the same error.
    I used the old Visual studio 6 compiler to create the 32 bit DLL. Do I need to re-compile the DLL for 64 bit? And any pointers on how to do that?
    I am a C++ newbie so any help would be appreciated

    Don't feel like researching it myself but you might start here and get back to us with what you find.
    [http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2008/10/20/9006720.aspx]
    Although seems conclusive I would research it more since 32bit apps must run somehow.
    I suspect that you will need a different VS IDE though to make a 64 bit build.

  • How do I/can I install Windows 8 policies on a Windows Server 2008 system.

    Hi,
    I'm currently working on a customer server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. They are in the process of upgrading their machines to Windows 8.
    The problem they have is they don't want all the extra tiles on the metro screen, so I've exported a template of how they want it to look. The problem I am having at the minute is installing the windows 8 group policy settings on their server, so that I can
    set the start screen template for all domain machines.
    How do I correctly install the Windows 8 policies on the system? I've got them downloaded as admx files from the MS website ready to go, but it's not as straight forward as I imagined.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kealan Riding-Smith

    Hello,
    you can add the .admx and .adml file for the language to your policydefinitions folder BUT the GPMC must be used from the new OS instead Windows server 2008 R2.

    Hi,
    In device manager, add legacy hardware, install Teredo adapter, update the drivers. Reboot and check if you can modify the status.
    If this failed, reset tcp/ip stack.

    Looks like you are using SQL Server, if you look in windows event viewer I believe there should be a detailed error message. There are some special properties that it mentions that you must set on your SQL Server instance for it to start property.
    If you see messages indicating this is the error, you might run these commands on your sql environmnent:
    ALTER DATABASE HYPEPMA
    SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
    ALTER DATABASE HYPEPMA

  • Domain group validation hangs during ECC 6.0 install on windows server 2008

    Hello to the group.
    We are installing ECC 6.0 R3 on a windows server 2008 system (with SQL 2008) and the install is hanging in the user/group creation steps. Specifically, the install is able to create a group at the domain level but hangs when it tries to verify that group.
    What's funny is the system is able to create two local domain groups without any issues.
    Have any of you run into this same issue? We've tried updating sapinst and restarting the install process using a known good domain admin account (we are also creating a ticket to SAP support).
    Thanks for any help!
    J. Haynes

    > This is actually a Domain based install.
    ok
    > So far after 12 hours the install is still hung. So we are looking at both network and issues with the AD related DLLS.
    You can doubleclick on the orange icon (the sapinst backend process) next to the clock on the desktop and scroll down. There you may find a hint why it's taking so long.
    Maybe you have a wrong/missing DNS server entry so the server is unable to find the domain controller, maybe the firewall is enabled and blocking asynchronous answers.

  • Hardware Migration - Windows Server 2008 R2

    I currently have a Windows Server 2008 R2 box running a development web environment. The problem is the box itself falls under the companies IT support and they are demanding it back as the lease has expired. I have another box whi I can use to replace it
    but it's the next model up. I tried just putting the HDD from the original into the new but it only gets as far as the windows starting screen (just after bios and just before login). At that point it just restarts.
    Option 1. Any ideas why it's doing that? I figured it'd throw a load of dirver errors once it booted but it doesn't even get into windows.
    Option 2. Can I use a tool to migrate from 2008R2 to 2008R2? From what I've looked at thus far it doesn't seem as though the MS tool allows for this. I might be wrong.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction!?

    There might be drivers / hardware / firmware version mismatch if you swap the HDD.
    Better option go for fresh installation in new server and migrate the application.
    Check the appliction compatible for 2008 R2 from below link.

  • Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

    Hi,
    I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
    data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
    Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
    The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
    When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
    I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
    are missing.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

    This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
    I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
    I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems  in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc.,  -BUT-
    The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively- 
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
    Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
    ( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
    folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

  • Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    Hi
    Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    I know this doesn't help you much, but, I think you have to see if your Mac pro does audio out via HDMI. I don't even know if mine does via DVI. I think it may have to do with the adapter. Try going into Audio MIDI and setting the digital out to multichannel
    and using the toslink cable for now. Lemme see...apparently DVI does not carry audio at all. Hm. apparently monoprice could be helpful?  If I understand what you're saying correctly: you want to take DVI and multichannel audio via the Toslink and have it all go out over HDMI, right? Whooo..... amazon...looks like it's about $100http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ
    just a shot in the dark
    I'm probably wrong....or not

  • How do I run a non-server program on Windows Server 2008

    I currently run a synchronization software application on my desktop in order to backup and synchronize over 600GB of data.  I would like to install this on our server, which runs Windows Server 2008, but the software does not provide for installation
    on this operating system.  I continue to receive a message stating that the software may not run properly on Windows Server OS, but it does not allow me to bypass this message.  Is there any way to create a partition or trick the software into thinking
    that it is running on a different operating system or do I have to abandon Server 2008 and install a basic home operating system in order to run this software?  Any help would be tremendously appreciated.  
    Thanks!
     

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to install an software which is not supported by Windows Server.
    Try to install this software in other compatibility mode:
    1. Right-click the installation program and select properties.
    2. Select Compatibility tab, select the checkbox Run this program in compatibility mode for.
    3. try to use different OS to install this program.
    Besides, you may right-click the installation program and select Run as administrator.
    Above are my personal suggestion and just for your reference. If the problem still exit, I suggest you to connect the software‘s support/form for better help.
    If you want to backup date, I suggest you to use Windows Server Backup, you may reference the link below for detailed information:

    Hi,
    Check if SQL Server service is running fine. I doubt you may have changed the user account password used for SQL Server service. After restarting the machine, you also need to update the user account of SQL Server service in Configuration
    Manager. Re-type the user account name and password under Log on tab and see how it helps.
    Thanks.

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
    explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

    >   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the

    >     Start Menu.
    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

  • Cisco Security Manager Client running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) in Terminal Service

    Hello CSM Gurus,
    Would there be any performance issues in CSM client software design if multiple instances of CSM client by multiple users ran concurrently on a Windows Server 2008 R2(64 bits) while CSM users accessing the server via Remote Desktop Services ?
    In my environment, we have a CSM server at our major data center while security administrators from all over the world need to use this CSM server. 
    In order to overcome the latency of the CSM client due to the WAN network, the plan is to use a Windows Server 2008 R2(64bits) as a terminal server and all security administrators would need to access this terminal server via RDP and would launch CSM client on their desktop.  The terminal server locates on the same LAN as the CSM server itself in order to minimize network latency in communications between the CSM clients running on the terminal server and the CSM server.  there would be multiple instances of CSM clients running concurrently on the Windows Server 2008 R2, the terminal server.
