Migrate Oracle 9i Database to Oracle 10g Solaris Platform

Hi DBAs,
Thank you very much all of you, you helped me in RMAN Duplicate Database, There was a problem in my backupset and now it has been resolved.
I have now following task.
I want to migrate Oracle 9i Database to Oracle 10g ASM, both are on Solaris platform. Please provide me step by step solution. I have very big Database about 250G Database.

In the "Complete checklist for manual upgrades to 10gR2" is written:
PREREQUISITES
=============
+ Install Oracle 10g Release 2 in a new Oracle Home.
+ Install the latest available patchset from Metalink.
+ Install the latest available Critical Patch Update.
... so "Install the latest available Critical Patch Update" step is that for the Oracle 10g database Oracle Home or Oracle 9i database Oracle Home ? I think that is for the 10g database/ Oracle Home ...
after applying the CPU pacht there is some "Post Installation Instructions":
3.3.5 Post Installation Instructions which demande a connection to the database:
3. For each database instance running out of the ORACLE_HOME being patched, connect to the database using SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and run catcpu.sql as follows:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\CPU\CPUJan2007
sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP
SQL> @catcpu.sql
SQL> QUIT
My question is ... If I want to upgrade a 9i database to 10g and I apply this CPU before the upgrade is done (to 10g Oracle Home), how could I connect to an instance which is not present to run this script ? ... is this step mandatory or is optional ?
Thanks,
P.

Migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i - any known issues

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i for testing purpose.
When I do migrate SQL Server database to Oracle 8i, am I doing any harm to the exiting
SQL Server database? Would the users be able to use SQL Server database as usual?? Are
there any known issues in this regard?
Please reply.
Thanks.
Ramesh

Ramesh Hi Ramesh!
The Migration Workbench does not make any modifications to the SQL Server database. It only reads information from it. Your users should be able to use the SQL Server database as usual.
Please note however that if you migrate the data over to Oracle using the Migration Workbench and your users continue to enter/update data in the exiting SQL Server database then you may need to move all that data over again in order to have the most up to date data in the Oracle database.
thanks

Quick Migrate: SQL Server database to Oracle

When I try Quick Migrate: SQL Server database to Oracle, I get the following error messages:
1. Locating source plugin...failed
2. Checking multi-schema privileges...Privilege 'CREATE ROLE" is not granted with admin option.
Error #1 I do not understand.
Error #2: I created the user as follows:
DROP USER GRAINTEST CASCADE
CREATE USER GRAINTEST
IDENTIFIED BY SQL
DEFAULT TABLESPACE SMARTSOFT_DATA
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON SMARTSOFT_DATA
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON SMARTSOFT_INDEX
GRANT CONNECT,

CREATE ROLE R_GRAINTST NOT IDENTIFIED
GRANT R_GRAINTST TO GRAINTEST
WITH ADMIN OPTION
Thanks
Murray

Murray,
Apologies for referring to the 1.5 documentation but the 2.1 documentation still has the same information about creating a user to hold the repository.
You initially reported 2 problems -
1. Locating source plugin...failed
2. Checking multi-schema privileges...Privilege 'CREATE ROLE" is not granted with admin option.
For the first error have you installed the necessary JDBC driver ? I have just installed SQL*Developer 2.1 on a new laptop and could successfully connect following the documentation steps -
Oracle® SQL Developer
User’s Guide
Release 2.1
2.5.2 Before Migrating From Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server
To configure a Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database for
migration:
1. Ensure that the source database is accessible by the Microsoft SQL Server or
Sybase Adaptive Server user that is used by SQL Developer for the source
connection. This user must be able to see any objects to be captured in the
Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database; objects that the user
cannot see are not captured. For example, if the user can execute a stored
procedure but does not have sufficient privileges to see the source code, the stored
procedure cannot be captured.
2. Ensure that you can connect to the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive
Server database from the system where you have installed SQL Developer.
3. Ensure that you have downloaded the JTDS JDBC driver from
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.
4. In SQL Developer, if you have not already installed the JTDS driver using Check
for Updates (on the Help menu), do the following:
a. Click Tools, then Preferences, then Database, then Third Party JDBC Drivers.
b. Click Add Entry.
c. Select the jar file for the JTDS driver you downloaded from
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.
d. Click OK.
========
The second error is again documented in the 2.1 documentation -
5.99 Privilege Warning for Migration
This dialog box is displayed if you click Verify in the Quick Migrate box and the
database user for the connection does not have all privileges necessary for a
multischema migration. For multischema migrations, this user must granted the
RESOURCE role with the ADMIN option; and this user must also be granted the
CREATE ROLE, CREATE USER, and ALTER ANY TRIGGER privileges, all with the
ADMIN option.
If you are performing a single-schema migration, you can ignore this warning.
=====
Which errors are you now seeing and which user was used to hold the repository ?
If you are using GRAINTEST for the repository then create it using this syntax -
CREATE USER GRAINTEST IDENTIFIED BY password <=== change password as necessary
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp; <=== change tablespaces as necessary
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO
GRAINTEST WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT ALTER ANY ROLE, ALTER ANY SEQUENCE, ALTER ANY TABLE, ALTER TABLESPACE,
ALTER ANY TRIGGER, COMMENT ANY TABLE, CREATE ANY SEQUENCE, CREATE ANY TABLE,
CREATE ANY TRIGGER, CREATE ROLE, CREATE TABLESPACE, CREATE USER, DROP ANY
SEQUENCE, DROP ANY TABLE, DROP ANY TRIGGER, DROP TABLESPACE, DROP USER, DROP ANY
ROLE, GRANT ANY ROLE, INSERT ANY TABLE, SELECT ANY TABLE, UPDATE ANY TABLE TO
GRAINTEST with admin option ;
then when making the migration make sure the Oracle connection is to this user.
Please update the thread with the errors you get after following these steps.
Regards,
Mike

Need help in migrating MSSQL 2008 database to Oracle 11g

Hi everyone,
So, as stated above I want to migrate our apps database from mssql to oracle as it is what the client wants..
I have absolutely no experience working with Oracle.
My computer is running windows 7 32 bit, our DB people installed a 9i client for me to connect to the server and the my SQL Developer just came straight from the site. (So it's the latest release)
I have one "DBA" access to the database I'm trying to migrate to.
I've downloaded the Oracle SQL Developer and have been attempting to "migrate" our database using the migration tool for 3 days now, but to no avail.
So the error I'm encountering is that the migration just stops, and a popup with the message "Migration actions have failed. Check the migration reports for details. : The connection is closed." comes up.
I have no idea where the migration report can be found. As I cannot find it in the reports tab available.
I'm hoping someone here can have the patience and knowledge to get me through this?

The migration report is generally created under the "Documents and Settings" folder under application data/sqldeveloper. Key thing is at what stage the failure occurs?. Does it happen immediately after you start the data migration or after a while?.
If the data migration process fails immediately after the start then there might be an issue with permissions on the source/target databases. Probably it is having trouble with disabling constraints on the target database. Because rememeber SQL Developer will disable constraints before it moves data across. My preference is to give DBA privilege to the Oracle user to avoid just cases or you can disable the constraints yourself by using scripts. Check the source/target database date/time format masks. You can set them up in SQL Developer.
If the data migration process fails after a while and you notice that data for some tables is migrated then you may be running into network timeouts or space issues on Oracle etc.

Oracle 9i database to oracle 10g rac

Hi all,
Here is my situation:
I have a client who wants Oracle 10GR2 RAC with OCFS2 on RHEL5 using FCP and Netapp storage.Till here I am ok, now he has nine different existing oracle 9i database single instance running on various RHEL3 servers, each of these database are small databases of 20-50GB max. Now the client wants the following:
1. Move all these individual databases to the new RAC servers, which means I will have nine different database and instances.
2. What is the fastest way to do it, I can get full database shutdown during weekends.
Can I copy these databases to the new rac servers and make a new controlfile, will 10G read the 9i DB from the new locations?
How do I make these db's into a rac instance?
please help, very urgent.

Migrating MS Access database to Oracle 8i

Hello,
How can I migrate a database in MS Access to Oracle 8i?
I need do a program with 2 conections (one in Access and other in Oracle) and saving in Oracle??
Thanks

you may want to look into using Oracle's Migration Workbench that will take your Access database and then translate it to an XML file from which it then generates the DDL and SQL*Loader scripts for you (which you can always modify before running).
Hope this helps.

Migrate Oracle 8i database to Oracle 11g

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle. I want to migrate a Oracle 8i database to a news server where Oracle 11gR2 already installed. Please, provide me step by step guideline.
- Bijit

Bijit,
This forum is for questions about migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle and not for Oracle to Oracle migrations.
You should open a thread in the Database Upgrade forum -

where they will have more experience of Oracle to Oracle upgrades and migrations.

How to import ORacle 7 database to Oracle 10g by using OWB?

Hi, I have an old Oracle 7 database that I want to import into an Oracle 10g database by using OWB. I have made an odbc connection to the Oracle 7 database, and the dblink is working when I test it through SQL Plus, and I also manage to see the source tables in the import wizard. But after I have selected the tables I want and "execute", then an error comes up that I can not figure out.
I am using Microsoft Oracle odbc driver on a Windows 2003 Server. I tried to use the ORacle 10g odbc driver, but then I could not connect to Oracle 7. I got a message about a specified driver that could not be loaded due to system error 127.
Anyway, I can connect and see the tables by using the Microsoft ODBC driver, but it will not import the metadata.
Is there a tutorial or something about how to import through an odbc connection?

Ronny,
It's not possible to create a database link from 10g to 7. See the following Metalink article:
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=207303.1
To use the database link approach you'll need to create a 9.2 'hop' database -- a database who's sole purpose is to allow connections from 10g and from which you can connect to 7.
However OWB itself won't read metadata out of a 7 database, so you'll need to do some manual work -- eg create views on the 9.2 database for the tables on the 7 database that you want to read from.
Another potential solution is to use the heterogenous data services to connect via ODBC to the Oracle 7 instance; again OWB might not be able to read the metadata in which case you should create views somewhere where OWB can read from.
I hope my ramblings make some sort of sense :-)
Cheers,
Colin

Migration of Informix Database to Oracle

Chris,
Presently the Workbench does not migrate from Informix,
however there are a series of script based tools that presently
exist that may be of help. They are available for download from
OTN, under the Migration Toolkits section under Migration
Workbench.

Migrating from Pick Database to Oracle 8i database

We are investigating the possiblility of exporting the entire contents of a pick database into an Oracle 8i database. Can you suggest any resources needed or utilities needed to perform this?
thanks in advance
warren

If Access2000 allows you save the database as an access97 database then you can use the Oracle Migration Workbench to do the conversion. Sorry, Im not the Access expert so I can't say for sure whether the save as 97 option is shipped with 2000. I'll look into it and post a definitive answer tomorrow.
