How to Migrate the database from AIX 4.3 oracle 7 to another Aix 5.3

Hi,
This is the scenario.
Oracle 7 runs in AIX 4.3 now the client wants to upgrade to a new machine with
oracle 10gr2 in AIX 5.3 .
AIX 4.3 in production now.
AIX 5.3 and oracle 10gr2 installed now.
is there any other possibility other than export to migrate to new server.
Regards
Elamaran

Sorry to disappoint you :( It's the same thing as with my car - If it's not without fuel I turn the key and drive ;)
Confined to the development database instance, writing packages is the only thing I'm allowed to do (even forbidden to use some of the Oracle supplied ones).
There are other guys having to do the rest.

How to startup the database from pfile?

Hi guys.
hope all of you fine.
how to startup the database from pfile?
Thanks.

You can create pfile from spfile
SQL>create pfile='/tmp/pfile.ora' from spfile;
then
SQL>startup pfile='/tmp/pfile.ora';
You can edit pfile.ora file and startup your database with this newly changed database parameter using pfile
And you can define you're using pfile or spfile by issuing:
SQL> show parameter spfile;

How to migrate the data from DB to another DB

Hi folks,
             In my project I have one requirement. Let me explain in detail we are maintain two databases one for
             master database called *GIIS* and one is history database HIST. Both DB version is 10g R1.
             (Both DB’s have same no table as well structures)
             1. The GIIS database contains nearly 400 tables (master table as well as temporary table)
                   each Master table having it’s own temporary table.
             2. Whenever we made the entry first it will go to temporary table after authorized that entry it will move to the master table
             3. But the temporary table contains the data after move to master table .
             4.     The temporary table data’s will be move to the HIST database each and every day at the night.
                This migration we done through the procedure. After migration complete the temporary table data’s will de deleted.
My Question:
           1.     Whether it’s good practice to migrate the data from GIIS DB to another HIST DB using oracle stored procedure.
                 (we created the DB link from GIIS to HIST)
           2.     If not can any one suggest me the way to migrate the data from GIIS to HIST.?
           3.     Is there any other possibility to migrate the data from GIIS to HIST with out using procedure?Thanks

Hi Mr.Aman Brother
First of all sorry . I am not saying that don't command my requirement. Just i want know the way of migrate the data from one DB to another DB.
you saying that IMPORT/EXPORT is one of the way to do migration.
But in client side they don't know how to do the IMPORT & EXPORT the database..
Can you suggest me the another way to do that
Arun,
If the client doesn't know how to do exp/imp, I would really doubt and would be immensely concerned before suggesting the client any other way. If they don't know, tell them that there is a concept called test database which is used for learning so they should invest time to learn this technique since the other options suggested by fellow members are far more tougher than this one.

SAP BW Object differences can impact the quality of testing in the Development and Test environment and can lead to change management issues.
     This check is to minimize risk and ensure productive objects are being tested prior to the Production upgrade.
Where alignment issues exist and realignment is not possible, alternative testing plans should be devised.
     Basis/BW
Confirm all developments are deployed.     Ensure that all SAP BW developments are deployed or they are to be re-developed/tested after the upgrade.
     In the DEV system, all SAP BW development transports should be released (i.e. transport created and released) and imported to all downstream systems (i.e. QAS and PRD systems).
For SAP BW developments not already collected in the transport collector, a decision must be made:
Deploy the developments or wait until the upgrade has completed to deploy.
o     Development to be deployed should be collected, released, and imported into the QAS and PRD systems.
o     Developments that should be deployed after the upgrade should be re-tested/re-developed after the upgrade.

How to migrate the data from DEC RDB 5.1 to Oracle 11g

Hi,
As part of my project, we need to migrate the data from DEC RDB 5.1 present on Alpha server with VMS 6.1 OS into Oracle 11g. The size of the data in DEC RDB is around 40 GB.
Could you please suggest various ways of getting this done in easy and simpler way?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
when Oracle bought Rdb from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1994, the name of the product changed from DEC Rdb to Oracle Rdb. Meanwhile the actual version of Rdb is 7.2, so you are on a VERY old version. And that excludes the suggestions from the mentioned note to use a database link from Oracle RDBMS to Rdb, that is simply not possible with that old version of Rdb.
But Rdb 5.1 knew already the Rdb Management Utility (RMU) - I just checked that with Rdb 4.1 which is even older.
There are two commands that are helpful for your task.
RMU/EXTRACT - that writes the metadata into a file. That output helps you to build a script to create all the objects in your target database.
RMU/UNLOAD - that writes the data of each table into a formatted file (one file per table). That output can be used by the SQL*Loader to load your data into the target database.
You can read all details about these commands in the online help on your Alpha. At first, issue the HELP command and look in the output list whether it lists a command RMU or RMU51. Then run that command:
$ help rmu /extract
and
$ help rmu /unload
Replace rmu by rmu51 if the help command shows you that rmu51 exists but not rmu.
There is one caveat. Do you use blobs in your Rdb database? If you don't know that, create an the output with RMU/EXTRACT and search the output file for the string LIST OF BYTE VARYING. If there are none then you have no blobs. If you have some you need to take more care of them, they can't be unloaded into a formatted file, that must happen programmatical. If you have such fields then let me know, then I'll tell you how to get them out of your Rdb database.
Best regards
Wolfgang

How to recovery the database from a complete backup

I have a 10.2.0.3 database with archive log enabled.
I do a cold backup of database every Sunday night.
I shutdown the database, copy all the database files, control files and redo logs to a backup disk.
Then the database started and running again.
I am trying to test my backup and make sure I can recovery the database to the most current stage using the Sunday backup and the archive logs.
for example: use the backup from 4/01/2012, recover the database to today 4/04/2012 9:00am.
What's the steps of doing this?
I tried to copy all the Sunday backup files to the correct location, start the database, the database is started successfully. However, I don't know how to apply the logs from since the Sunday backup upto now.
Thanks a lot!

hi,
rman is your friend to do backups, restores and recovers of database.
to do a full recover of database, for example to do a test on your current test database (no in crash):
rman time:
startup nomount;
restore controlfile;
alter database mount;
sql now
select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;
then go back to rman and do the following :
RMAN> run{
2> set until scn xxxxxx;
3> restore database;
4> recover database;
5> alter database open resetlogs;
6> }
**where xxxxx is the result of your sql query
HTH
--edit:
forgot to told that You will need to set your ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID env variables

How shoud I start. Please assist me.As endian formats are different for Solaris 8 and Redhat (solaris has big, but linux has little), then the easiest way is to use exp/imp utiltiy for migration data.
exp full database from 8i and import it in 10g. You can exp only particular schemas, it really depends, what kind of data you need, how much data You need to import and so on. But exp/imp is the answer how to get data into new database.

Hi,
This is realated to Upgrading your domain.You can upgrade your domain from bea weblogic8.1SP4 to Bea weblogic 10.You need to use the upgrade tool from bea weblogic platform10.You can start the Upgrade wizard tool from Windows Start->All Programs->BEA Products->Tools->DomianUpgradeWizard.The tool will take you to upgrade the domain automatically.Once you have upgraded the domian everything(database connection pools,users,groups,any other resources) in 8.1 domian will be changed to 10.

How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...
cheers,

hi...
install client software in your machine
perform, listener configuration using net configuration assistant,
Now using this listener name, you create a DSN and use it in rpd,, you want to develope
OR
go to ODBC Data Source & Administrator and add DSN with Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
in server field, you write your parent machine\listenername
and use this in rpd... i hope the second one works out...

How to migrate the portal from server A to Server B

Dear Expert,
I have existing R3 name A and portal connecting. I have setup a new R3 name B on different server. Could you please provide me the steps on how can I migrate the portal connection from Server A to Server B. What are the steps involve .e.g. ITS and etc.
Thank you
KS

Hi,
The communication between portal server and R3 server happens via system only. If you don't want to use R3 system A hereafter, then look for R3 system alias created for 'A' in portal. You can delete that. Now for using new R3 system B in portal, create a new system for B in portal using System Administration. Decide which SSO you are going to use. If user is same in portal and r3, then logon tickets. Else user mapping method.
Check these documents on how these can be done.

How to migrate the computers from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how to mirgrate the computers present in SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012.
Does the "collection migration" job migrate the computers or devices present in the collection? I tried this but computers were not migrated.
Should we again discover the computers in SCCM 2012?
Thanks,
SreehariG

There is no migration job in CM12 that will migrate CM07 clients. You need to install CM12 agent on your CM07 client in order to migrate them. During the installation the existing CM07 client will be uninstalled. You can use any supported
client deployment methods to migrate to your new CM12 environment. More information here:
