Migration of SAP Content Server

Migration of SAP Content Server 6.40 from 32 bit to AMD64 for Norwegian Air Shuttle AS (http://www.norwegian.com/).
At first I installed MAXDB 7.6.04.16 as my target database.
Source database is 7.3.0.35.
I recommend to read note 649814 and 962019 first.
There you will see that you have to install MAXDB 7.6.05 build 11 or higher at your target-system.
Note 962019:
Note that the target system must be installed at least with 7.6.05 build 11. An upgrade to this version does not help.

Uninstall the old target-system:
1. Uninstall Content Server with Add/Remove Programs
2. Stop MAXDB-instance:
dbmcli -d -u , db_offline
3. Delete MAXDB-instance:
dbmcli -d -u , db_drop
4. Uninstall MAXDB with Add/Remove Programs

Install SAP Content Server 6.40 with MAXDB 7.7.* for x64
CDLABEL.ASC=MAXDB7.7.04 Build 28RDBMSNumber 51035704.
Remember to configure the IIS
Create Repository in CSADMIN

The Migration is a Heterogeneouse system copy.

Actions at source-system:
1. Check Data ->
Database Manager - Instance - Check - Database Structure
2. Create Index (ony for Kernel version 7.3 and 7.5) ->
Database Manager - Tools - SQL Studio
----more will follow------

THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!! I'll try again later.

  2. That was the concept used to export data from the original server, i have faced the problem while switching my database, there should be a transparent way of performing those functions.
