Migrating image database in Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i

I am going to be migrating an image database from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i and am needing to know
what Oracle9i has to offer as far as options in storing large media types - image, video, audio, etc...
Specifically, does Oracle have anything comparable to Informix' smart blobspace? Is it possible to migrate
image data from Informix to Oracle? I know the migration kits only are available up to Informix version 7.
What does interMedia offer?

Hi,
I was unable to reproduce your problem. I carried out the following steps in attempt to replicate the issue:
1. I launched the workbench, version 10.1.0.2, selecting the Oracle Lite "Default Repository".
2. Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, I created a user "rtdb" with the password "rtdb" on my target Oracle 9i database.
3. I captured a test Informix database, generating its source and oracle models.
4. I then proceeded to migrate the database to Oracle and supplied my target Oracle9i database information in the "Migration Wizard, Step 1 of 4: Destination Database Details", supplying rtdb/rtdb as the username/password.
5. My test database migrated with no such error messages reported.
If you carried out the migration steps as I have outlined above, and are still experiencing issues with a "Failed to connect" error, I would contact support.

Hilary

Migration bigger database structure Informix- Oracle : neverending process ?

I have problem: I tried to convert Informix source model to oracle model (real database structure - several tenths of tables, triggers, procedures, ... - without data). Log window "Creating oracle model" appeared and icon and text "Mapping" had been showed. And this state stayed permanent. Nothing following happened, no next changes on file 'omwb.odb' I could to see. After 6
hours i 'clicked' on 'Abort' button. On following Workbench showed message that it could not to do abort and recommended me to restart program.
Are there some limitations in Workbench for complexity of database structure ? How many time can take obviously creating of Oracle model from real (but empty) database ? Can it take more then 6 hours ?!
null

No, 6 hours is too long, something has gone wrong with the migration. Please send the error.log file (under %ORACLE_HOME%/Omwb/log) and a description of the problem to [email protected] and we shall do our best to assist you.

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,

Migrating from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 9.2

Hi
I need to migrate a database from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 9.2.
There are a third-part application that must be migrated that always run in Oracle databases in others customers.
I have a script (supplied for the third) to create the objects in Oracle (+- 1200 tables that will be created only with PKs to improve performance).
My question is: Can I use the migration workbench only to load the data (45 GB)? If no, what can I do to minimize the work?

Hello,
Yes this is possible. You need to capture your source Informix database and map it to the Oracle Model using the Migration Workbench. Then you can generate the data unload scripts and SQL*Loader scripts to get the data our of your source database and into the destination Oracle database. For more information on how to do this, please see Chapters 4, 5 and 6 in the Oracle Migration Workbench User's Guide. You can find this document on the OTN Web site at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B15857_01/toc.htm

Migration from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 10g

We have to perform a migration from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 10g. Many tables, many data and many stored procs.
We use the Online mode and the imports finish with any errors, but it has not recovered any stored procedures or we can't view the Informix Stored Procedures in the Source Model in the workbench.
In the importation log appears as no found procedures, but under owner informix are all procedures.
What we can do?

In the 10.1.0.4 version of the workbench we create an informix user who will have all the stored procedures.
If you want these migrated as another user you can right click on the user in the oracle model and rename it for a start.
If this is a large migration, I would recommend the following.
1. generate the ddl for the oracle database.
2. for the users, that will be created, move the objects to the users that you want these in.
3. Make sure that the privileges that a particular user has is appropriate to use the data and execute the stored procedures if necessary.
This tool is not just a one shot deal.. It will bring the informix db over to Oracle, but you need to verify the structure and the logic of the stored procedures as being correct.

Migrate images still very slow in 1.1.1

This new feature introduced in 1.1 allows for raw images to be processed under the new and improved raw engine. It became apparent in 1.1 that using the Migrate images command on several raw took a very long time to do. This has not improved in 1.1.1.
So please beware when using this function that after the pop-up showing how many were migrated and you click 'ok' Aperture then proceeeds to run global climate change models in teh background. Ooops i mean it seems to spend enormous cpu cycles after it says it was complete.
For anyone using 'migrate images' please go for a bio break and leave your system alone as any further Aperture processing will grind you to a near halt. Let it finish its work.
I migrated 380 raw's to 1.1, the progress bar took ~57s until 'Done', then cpus ramped ~330% for about 8 minutes.
FYI.
Suggestions:
1. Show the whole migration task within the task Window until its fully completed.
2. Improve the migration coding to do this faster.
3. Add a warning to users that this will take a long time.
4. Have the progress bar show the REAL and complete processing cycle, including the background portion.
I suppose this problem will eventually work its way out as most people will only import using 1.1 raw.

As far as I can tell, the progress bar is just for the database changes - updating the thumbnails is going to be a MUCH more intensive task as all 380 files get loaded up and thumbnails are redone. At the left end of the control bar is a little spinny progress icon which appears when there are background tasks going on, when you migrate images, this spins until all the thumbnails are done. Think of it in terms of re-importing all the images...
That said, the progress bars and task viewer window could do with a bit of thought.

Informix 7.x to Oracle 9i Data migration

Hi All,
I'm in the process of migrating the data from Informix 7.X databse to Oracle 9i. I need to migrate data from selected columns and selected tables only from the informix schema.The data migration deals with Huge volumes[ Around 50GB ] of data.
I need some help regarding
1. I'm thinking to use Informix Unload Option for data unloading and SQL * loader for loading the data into the database. Is there any other better way.
2. how to deal with the memory issues during migration process.
Regards
Gaurav

Hi,
Thanks a ton for the prompt response.
I'm elploring the usage of Migration Workbench for the migration.But yet don't know the correct way to use it.
I need some inputs and material to refer from this end.
Apart from that Regarding memory :
As I'm dealing with 50GB of data
1) I want to foresee any problems which i might encounter during the migration process.
2) Any oracle specific parameters I need to setup to rule out any memory related migration failures.
3) How can i do the migration in the quickest way?
Kindly do the needful.

Migrating from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9.2.0.4

Hi
Once I created the Oracle Objects from Oracle Model, I found that Stored Procedures & Triggers were missing. All the tables were created.
I captured the Source Model & created the Oracle Model. Then I went on creating with Oracle Objects. The migration user(x1) was given all the Roles & Privileges as required. The schema belongs to another user.(x2)
Please advice.

Migrating from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9.2.0.4(Using Existing Tables space)

Hi
I want to create tables & indexes on different tablespaces as planned. I have already created table spaces using OEM. (for a given schema different set of tables have to be created on diffrent tablespaces and so on)
But,it appears,"OMWB Table Space Discoverer" is not much of useful. It allows to specify one for tables, one for indexes and TEMP. Is there anyway I can 'discover' all the tablespaces from the target and assign the tables & indexes to various tablespaces as planned.
Any suggestions?

Migration Of Informix 7.2 to Oracle 8.1.7

Hello,
Are there any toolkits for migrating this version of Informix to Oracle?
The Migration Workbench works with 7.3 Dynamic Informix. Can this work with 7.2?
Is Dynamic Informix NT only?
Thanks
Peter

There should be an Oracle Migration Toolkit for Informix 7.X on OTN.
The Oracle Migration Workbench will only work for Informix 7.3 Dynamic Server, NT and Unix.
It will return an error if you try to connect to an Informxi 7.2 database.

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

How can i Migrate a database from DB2 to SQL Server 2008r2.

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me letting me know the process for migrating the database from DB2 to SQL Server.
1) Is there any way to migrate a database from DB2 to SqlServer. (My assumption is we can not migrate database, if wrong correct me gurus).
2) Or we can only transfer data from that DB2 database to SQL Server (Using SSIS packages).
Please help me knowing the process to migrate the data from DB2 server to MSSQL server. Even am reading the documents available in the web.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft provide a migration assistant for DB2 to SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45296
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from DB2 to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and
SQL statement conversion and data migration.
Hope that helps

Does anybody have idea? Thanks!

Hi Donald,
Thanks for your reply.
"ROGER"."ABB_FILE"."ABB04" means in user "ROGER" schema, have a table "ABB04", and have a column named "ABB04".
So the column's name is "ABB04", not exceed 30 characters.
The table's description in Informix as follows:
create table "roger".abb_file
abb00 char(2),
abb01 char(12),
abb02 smallint,
abb03 char(24),
abb04 char(30),
abb05 char(6),
abb06 char(1),
abb07 decimal(16,3) not null ,
abb08 char(10),
abb11 char(15),
abb12 char(15),
abb13 char(15),
abb14 char(15),
abb15 char(4)
And the table in Oracle's description:
CREATE TABLE "ROGER"."ABB_FILE"
     "ABB00" VARCHAR2(2),
     "ABB01" VARCHAR2(12),
     "ABB02" NUMBER(5),
     "ABB03" VARCHAR2(24),
     "ABB04" VARCHAR2(30),
     "ABB05" VARCHAR2(6),
     "ABB06" VARCHAR2(1),
     "ABB07" NUMBER(16, 3) NOT NULL,
     "ABB08" VARCHAR2(10),
     "ABB11" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB12" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB13" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB14" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB15" VARCHAR2(4)
)
