Oracle 9.204 to db2/udb8 migration PLUS upgrading 46B to 4.7

Question: Hi, not sure which is the best way to go - any suggestions.

We are on aix 5.2 sap 46B oracle 9204. We want to go to sap 4.7 and db2/udb8 (long story why moving from oracle) anyway. which is the best way to go.

Upgrade to 4.7 first, then migrate to db2.
OR
Migrate to db2 first then upgrade to 4.7.
I am getting conflicting stories on which is best way to go.

Answer:
are you doing this on the same machine or moving to a new one?

Answer:
hi snowy

good question as still not quite sure best method.

We will have a spare upgrade server (aix lpar on a p690)
I believe we have to install db2 on upg server, then migrate data from sapr3 46b/oracle 9204 to sapr46b/db2udb8. (but can't find a copy of 46b/db2 on sapnet to order it. IBM keep wanting to do DB2 first (their interest where as I would rather upgrade to 47 first with oracle then migrate/install).
