Hello Experts,
we are planning of exporting a big database to new hardware & OS while DB remains the same.
I have few questioins around uptime & downtime activities.
We will be doing table splitting + parallel exp/imp.
Are the steps DB EXPORT Preparation & Table splitting can be considered as UPTIME activities?
i.e can users use the system while above two steps are running through SAPINST. If yes to what extent?
Only for Transactional purposes??
OR these activities can be considered DOWNTIME activities i.e SAP is unavailble for users? If this the case then my overall downtime wil increase during production cutover.
What are the best practice recommendations?
Thoughts are highly appreciated.
Best Regards
