Hi, I've nerver try it out, but this are the steps you should do to migrate your database (>= 7.3.0.21): - shutdown the database (dbmcli -d<dbname> -u<user>,<passwd> db_offline) - start the database in cold mode (dbmcli -d<dbname> -u<user>,<passwd> db_cold) - set the migrate flag within the database (dbmcli -d<dbname> -u<user>,<passwd> util_execute migrate), this may take a few minutes. - make a complete backup in cold mode.
You can use this special backup to create a new SAP DB instance in version 7.3 or 7.4.
