!) &e 23load "ased import process may need to "e &andled in one of ! different ways-
a) If t&e compressed S'L D siHe is =300<00G it is recommended to run t&e import on<

can "e uploaded to AHure and restored and t&e SAP application installed
") If t&e compressed S'L D siHe is relati(ely small, less t&an K300G t&en t&e 23load dump
files can "e uploaded to AHure and imported on AHure E%s directly) It is generallyrecommended to use a DS series E% wit& a P30 Premium Storage dis9 for t&e S'L
transaction log
If low downtime migrations are re.uired, it is recommended to migrate to Windows and S'L Ser(er on<
