An export of the SAP systems is necessary for the migration to S4/HANA as well as the server and operating system change.
Supplement
In order to successfully migrate SAP systems that use a MaxDB database and an AIX operating system, it is necessary to export the systems properly. The aim is to set up the systems on a new server with a different operating system and a HANA database at the end of the export process; keyword OS/DB migration in the SAP context.
Subject description
The systems are not rebuilt simultaneously, but one after the other. In order to minimise the downtime of productive activities, several runs are carried out to optimise runtimes and minimise system downtime. A total of 3 test runs are planned for the export. After the export and move to the new hardware, SAP Instance and the database on the old server are shut down.
