Hi AH
I was wondering if it is possible to export data from a SQLServer 2005 SP2 and import this data into SQLServer 2008/R2 or 2012 using standard ex/import tools from SAP like SWPM (eg. R3load etc.).
1. Yes you can use the SAP Standard method (Export / Import).
2. Since your are using the MS SQL DB you can perform the database backup on MS Sql 2005 SP2 and restore the same DB on MS Sql server 2008 R2 or 2012. after restored you can perform the system copy.
