The best place to start would be the OS/DB Migration portal in the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration). The OS/DB Migration guides are available at SAP Service Marketplace as well (http://service.sap.com/instguides). In addition, I wrote a book on the subject which explains the procedure in detail, the OS/DB Migration Project Guide published by SAP-PRESS. It is for sale at www.sap-press.com.
