We want to migrate an SAP 4.7x110 system on Windows Server 2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64). Afterwards we want to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0.
According to PAM, 4.7x110 is not supported on Windows 64-bit.
According to note 960769,
"After the migration to the 64-bit hardware, your SAP system may have a status that is not supported by SAP for productive use (see Note 814834). You may need to upgrade to a new SAP release. In this exceptional circumstance, SAP offers support for the duration of the upgrade. Note that SAP does not support a longer, more productive use of such a system for the period after the migration and before the upgrade....
...We generally recommend to use SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) for the productive use on x86_64. However, the 32-bit operation of SQL Server 2000 on Windows x86_64 64-Bit (supported by Microsoft) is also supported by SAP...
...The following table illustrates which OS/DB combination supports each SAP release in the target system.
Source System Target System (Kernel, DB Software) Support Comment
3.1I 3.1I 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit only for upgrade (a,c)
4.0B 4.0B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit only for upgrade (c)
4.5B 4.5B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit only for upgrade (c)
4.6C 4.6D 32-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b)
620 640 64-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b)
640 640 64-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b)
700 700 64-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b) "
According to note 814834,
"SAP supports the x86_64 platform on Windows 2003 Server SP1 x64 for kernel 4.6D and kernel 6.40 and higher. ... For product versions based on kernel 6.40 and higher, only 64-bit operation is supported."
According to note 905634, about SQL Server 2005 support (where a mention to R3E 4.7 x110 is missing)
"Supported SAP products based on SAP_BASIS 6.20 and SAP_BASIS 6.40

According to all this information, may I move our 4.7x110 system onto a Windows Server 2003 SP1 64-bit, SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and after that we would upgrade to ECC 6.0?
Thanks !!!
Eva
