Dear Experts,
I am new to MS SQL Server. Currently i am working with a client on OS/DB Upgrade:
Current Setup - Windows 2008R2, MS SQL Server 2005, SAP ECC 6.0 SR3.
Target - Windows 2012, MS SQL Server 2012, SAP ECC 6.0 SR3.
I went through couple of notes in SMP. I need to do a System copy of SQL 2005 to my test Server. My plan is...
1. restore FULL ONLINE BACKUP of PRD db to Freshly installed ECC 6.0 Test System and perform attach/detach method.
After attaching the DB should i run the SQL4SAP.vbs or to run "Database copy completion" in SWPM???
If i restore FULL ONLINE BACKUP with transaction log backup or differential backup (As my client is working 24/7-no downtime for offline backup) to my target should i run any additional commands like recover commands in ORACLE???
2. After that DB upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to 2012 according to the SAP doc sql2012_upgrade i got it from a note.
After executing all the steps do i need to run option "Database upgrade completion" or not needed???
Please help me and suggest...
Thanks in advance.
