Summary :
SAP now supports cross-platform heterogeneous system copy for DB2 UDB Version 8 or higher. Cross-platform copies are viable between Big-Endian servers, allowing DB2 backups taken on platforms like AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris to be restored across these systems. Additionally, DB2 Version 8 extends support for cross-platform restore capabilities to Little Endian platforms for architecture transitions (e.g., from Windows IA32 to x86_64). The procedure mandates an offline DB2 backup, a homogeneous system copy using tools like R3SETUP or SAPINST, editing a redirected restore script, and completing by dropping architecture-specific database loads and re-creating event monitors. Reference given to SAP's white paper for detailed steps.
