Hi Team,
We have SAP applications ECC,BW,GTS,Portal,HCM running on Windows 2008 R2 and Database MS SQL Server 2008. Our client is planning to move all the SAP applications to cloud,Upgrade of All SQL Server Databases SQL 2008 to SQL 2014 and Upgrade of all SAP applications to latest releases( For Ex: ECC6 EHP5 to ECC6 EHP7). I have to suggest the best approach to migrate the all SAP applications to cloud environment(Target environment is also Windows and MSSQL).
What are the best options to upgrade and migration to cloud environment or vice-versa.
1)First do the Migration of all SAP applications to cloud environment and Up-gradation of SQL Database from 2008 to 2014.
2) First do the SQL Databases upgrade from MS SQL Server 2008 to MS SQL Server 2014 for all SAP applications in the current environment and then migrate the all application from physical environment to Cloud environment.
What are the best approaches to Migrate all SAP applications to Cloud environment If production DB size is 5TB
1) MSSQL specific attache and detach method.
2)Backup and recovery
3) SAP Specific Export and Import method.
Note: SQL Server 2014 is supported on Windows Server 2012 and higher.SAP releases prior to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 are not supported to run on SQL Server 2014. For more information, see SAP Note 1966701.
Our all SAP applications are running on further release of NetWeaver 7.0
Please suggest with your ideas.
Regards
Chandrasekhar
