Migration from Access to Oracle 10g (Problem with migration wizard)

Hi
I have an access database which I want to migrate to Oracle DB.
I have created 2 connections.
1. Access connection with the source database
2. Oracle connection.
I have associated the oracle connection to the repository.
When I go through 'MIGRATION WIZARD' process. I am not able to view the source database file while capturing. Tried it several times.
Need a help in this
Regards,
Arjun

Arjun,
you cannot do an online migration with MS Access as you can do with other foreign datasources. You can only do an offline migration.
The first step that you need to do is to call the Microsoft Access Exporter. Click on Tools - Migration - Microsoft Access Exporter and chose the exporter of the MS Access version that you are using.
The exporter creates an xml file for you. After the exporter has finished you can do the migration, click on Tools - Migration - Migrate, but in Step 4 please select "Offline", and then you can select the xml file that the exporter has created. The following steps in the Migration assistant are then doing the migration for you.
You might also want to read the chapter "Before Migrating From Microsoft Access" in the online help of SQL Developer.

Migration from DB2 to Oracle 10g using free tools

Dear all,
Im currently using DB2 database and wish to migrate data over to Oracle 10g express. However, i could not find any free tools or methods to migrate without using tools as i could not use tools like Oracle Migration Workbench as the migration is for certain project which will deal with internal process or commercial purpose.
Would like to seek everybody's help. Greatly appreciation your response.
Regards,
Kee Cheng =)

Thanks. But have you heard of creating a heterogenous services, create a database link between the 2 database, then transform over to Oracle?I thought you were looking for a free tool. With HS, you'll have to buy the component to install on the DB2 system. Unless something has changed since the last time I worked in a mixed Oracle/DB2 shop.

Migrating from Access to Oracle

Hello......
I am trying to migrate a table from Access to Oracle. It contains approx 850,000 rows, and I tried using SQL Server's DTS Import/Export tool to perform the migration. However, this export/import has been running for almost 48 hours (crazy, huh?!), and I'm only at 350,000 records loaded. This tool is obviously not sufficient for a migration of this size.
Can anyone suggest a better way for me to go about this?
Thanks,
-Christine

Hi,
If you have DDL structures in Oracle, then you can save the access data as .csv file format. you using any opensource tool you can migrate it.
Or you can go for sql loader also.

Problems with migrating from access to oracle

OMWB has a few problems with upper and lower case letters, when i try to modify my old access DB OMWB cant find the new table in Oracle:
(3011 The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object <name>. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. )
the problem is that it searching for AP_BILD.A990BILDER but the correct name is AP_BILD.a990Bilder
when i recreate the table as AP_BILD.A990BILDER it worked.
but i cant do that for almost 400 tables!
any suggestion how to fix this?
also have a problem when creating the trigger:
OMWB puts the tablename into 2 double quotation marks each side (""name"") and of course it tells me something of a tablenamelength of NULL and it doesnt work
working with release 9.2.0.1.0 of OMWB

update: if i try to link the table from access directly it also cant find the table, but can find other tables (the others are in upper case).
could it be a problem with the odbc driver? does it automatically look for upper case names?
anyone know how to fix this?
thanks in advance

DB Migration from SAPDB to Oracle 10g - Archive access after migration?

Hi!
Our customer plans to move his SAP system landscape from one Service Provider to another. During this not only new hardware is used but also a DB migration will be done using the procedure described in the SAP System Copy Guide (SAPDB -> Oracle - Offline Export in source system,
Import in target system).
SAPSID and client will be the same in the new environment, but of course HW key, IP-adress, Server name, Domain name and obviously Installation no. will change. SAP Note 153433 as well as System Copy Guide do not completely clearly tell me, whether we will face problems when trying to access our archived data after the migration. It's not completely clear to me, how the Archive References are
built: Only using SAPSID and client? Then everything should be okay, because here we plan no changes.
So do we have to face any problems when trying to access and/or reload the archived files and objects after the movement to the new service provider? Are there any pitfalls concerning archviving and archive access we have to take in mind?
Add. info: The archvied files and objects are stored in an IBM Common Store which will be moved physically from location A to B. So here nothing changes.
Thanx in advance for any hint.
BTW: SAP Notes 153433, 460620 and 53068 were already studied. SAP support said this is a consulting issue ... ;-(
Regards,
Volker Kolberg

Hi Volker,
I haven't worked much on archiving, however Archived files are flat files ( I think) and hence these files should be common for all databases.
However a good strategy is to first test. I think you must have already thought about it however still here is what you could do.
Take system copy of the system you want to migrate ( you could choose a development system where there is not much data)
Delete data the production clients in the copied system.
Archive some data using object something like WORKITEM which is harmless workflow object.
Migrate the system and try to reload the object
Hope that helps.

Siddhesh

Migrating from Access to Oracle - Captured Model did not convert

I'm trying to convert an Access database 2003 to Oracle using SQL Developer. I've worked through the migration process to the point where I need to convert the Captured Model to a Converted Model. The first time I ran that step, the application told me there were some issues with some indexes and didn't convert my captured model. I decided to delete my captured model and rerun the process from the point where I import the .xml file and recreate the captured model. I then tried again to create my Converted Model and again it didn't generate. The Converting Database dialog box tells me that it's 'converting the database' and it's 'transforming identifiers' but it just hangs and does nothing. What did I do wrong and how to I correct my issue so that I can create my Converted Model?
Thank you.

I was able to get past the Capture Model "hang up" business about three weeks ago. (I'm trying to migrate the Access 2003 Northwind db to APEX 3.2/Oracle 10g.) I found a thread in another forum that noted the problem could be due to a memory issue. This particular post referred to an omwb.bat file in a folder omwb. This may have been referring to an earlier version of SQL Developer -- I could not find the bat file. I'm using SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64.45. I did, although find a sqldeveloper.bat file in my installation path: C:\Software\sqldeveloper_2.1.1.64.45\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin. In that file there is one very long java command. And at the very start of that command, I changed
from: java -Xmx640M -Xms128M .................
to: java -Xmx1024M -Xms640M ................
In the java documentation (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html) this notes that changing these parameters effect the size of the initial and maximum memory allocation pool.
So that was pretty great -- that it worked. I am at the point now where I've retrieved it all into APEX but it is all invalid and there are so many issues going on all at once that I need to put the project on hold. There is not very much management patience for something like this that goes on and on. Maybe I'll work on it a bit at night now.
Hope the memory thing helps someone.

While migrating from access to oracle ??

While loading data from SQL Loader, DATE is taken as dd-mmm-yy (eg: 18-MAR-02) even after specified in "mm/dd/yyyy HH24:mi:ss" in controlfile. How to resolve this problem ???
rgds,
manish

Hi,
Did you follow all the steps in the SQL*Developer documentation about preparing the Access database for migration -
Oracle® SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 3.0 -
2.2.4.3 Before Migrating From Microsoft Access
and -
Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations Release 3.0
2.4 Preparing the Microsoft Access Database for Capture
The error also indicates there may be a problem with your Access installation so could you check that everything is okay with that ? I have found references that indicate a re-install of Office/Access will prevent the error.

OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hello,
I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
saved a lot of pdf files .
Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
Thanks,
H.M.

thx - will have a look
Edited by: kgronau on May 22, 2012 4:32 PM
The original PDF content starts with:
%PDF-1.4
%ª«¬
4 0 obj
<<
/Creator (Apache FOP Version 1.0)
/Producer (Apache FOP Version 1.0)

>>
endobj
5 0 obj
<<
/N 3
/Length 12 0 R
/Filter /FlateDecode

stream
But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
It shows as :
Acrobat Document ..
´4 0 obj

Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hi,
I want to migrate an mdb file which contains a set of tables to oracle. During this process, i have created schema and all the tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. I would like to transfer only the data to Oracle from access through SQL developer. How can I do that?
Regards,
Meena

Hi Meena,
You mention that you have created the schema and tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. Did you use the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench, creating a Migration Repository, to carry out this process? I see from your other postings that you are experiencing issues using the Exporter tool, which would lead me to believe that you haven't used the Migration Workbench to migrate your database. Obviously you will need to resolve your Exporter issues before you can proceed to the next phase of the migration process. I will aim to assist you with those issues on the seperate thread - ShowSplashScreen("_OracleSplashScreen",3) error The XML file generated by the Exporter tool forms the basis of your MS Access migration.
In order to migrate your data from MS Access to Oracle using the Migrate Data option in Oracle SQL Developer, you will need to have access to the Migration Repository used for the migration of the MS Access database. The information contained in the Converted Model, in the Migration Repository, is used during the data migration process. The data migration requires the following connections:
1. a source database connection i.e. a database connection to the MS Access MDB file
2. a target database connection i.e. a database connection to the migration Oracle schema
3. a Converted Model connection
For further information on the creation of a Migration Repository, and the migration process, please refer to the accompanying documentation available via the online Help within Oracle SQL Developer, and also from OTN - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10405_01/doc/nav/portal_booklist.htm.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

Migrating MySQL5 database to Oracle 10g - table with blob data fails

During data migration phase from MySQL5 to Oracle, noticed that the tables that have record length greater than 64K fails. It just says FINISHED for those tables without migrating any data. This is specially happening in the tables that have text and blob columns with data more than 20Meg in the blob fields.
Is this a bug? If not is ther any configuration file to increase the record size? Does it use SQL*Loader underneath to transfer the data or some other mechanism?

Thanks Spain, but using Offline scripts does not work for me as my record length is around 28MB and SQL*loader allows maximum record length of 20MB.
Is there any way to dump just the blob column data out of MySQL into a separate file?

Oracle 10g - Problem with Date Ranges using Between

I am keeping track of patients who have not been contacted during a date range. if a nurse adds an event or note and the note is type 1,3,4 then this is a contact. The following works but if the event or note was made on the same day as the report is run, the current contact is not printed. Any help to improve the query and identify the problem would be appreciated. Also, if you add '1' to' n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)' so it is ' n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1'. It works. What is wrong?
SELECT upper(symptom_text),
COUNT(UNIQUE(c.patient_id)) ,
COUNT(UNIQUE(
CASE
    WHEN e.eventdate BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)
    OR (n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Jan-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)
    AND n.note_type_id                                             IN (1,3,4))
    THEN c.patient_id
    ELSE 0
END)) - 1
FROM patient c,
cust_info ci,
event e,
note n
WHERE c.physician_id = 74
AND c.patient_id      = ci.patient_id
AND ci.info_type_id    = 32
AND ci.symptom_text      IS NOT NULL
AND c.patient_id      = e.patient_id(+)
AND c.patient_id      = n.pk_id(+)
AND n.table_name(+)    = 'patient'
GROUP BY upper(symptom_text)
ORDER BY DECODE(upper(symptom_text), 'A+', 1, 'A', 2, 'B', 3, 'C', 4, 'D', 5, 99)I suspect the end date is not inclusive. Fields are Date data types. Thanks for any help.

Hi,
achtung wrote:
Understood. Frank was correct. Do you mean about the dates? Is that issue solved now?
It would help a lot if you posted some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data. Simplify as much as possible. For example, if everything involving the e and n tables is working correctly, forget about them for now. Post a question that only invloves the c and ci tables.
But, additionally, when a record in the cust_info doesn't exist my contact count is inaccurate. How can you explain this conceptually. I understand the query path is checking for this record due to the predicate. Perhaps the query should be redesigned. Thanks for your input!Again, you can see the results, and you know what they should be. Nobody else has that information. Please post some sample data and the results you want from that data.
In your earlier message you said
Could there be a problem if a record does not exist in the ci table?The condition:
AND ci.symptom_text IS NOT NULL
filters for this right? Maybe this could be part of the problem. why I'm not seeing records when a note is added to a patient's doc. How would this be technically be explained? You're doing a inner join between c and ci:
    AND c.patient_id      = ci.patient_id
    AND ci.info_type_id   = 32
    AND ci.symptom_text   IS NOT NULL ...Rows from c will be included only if there is a row in ci with the same patiend_id: even more, that matching row in ci must also have info_type_id=32 in a non-NULL symptom_text, otherwise, the row from c will be ignored.
If you want rows from c to be included even if there is no matching row in ci, then do an outer join, like you're already doing with the e and n tables:
WHERE c.physician_id = 74
    AND c.patient_id         = ci.patient_id (+)
    AND ci.info_type_id (+) = 32
    AND ci.symptom_text (+) IS NOT NULL
    AND c.patient_id         = e.patient_id(+)
    AND c.patient_id         = n.pk_id(+)
    AND n.table_name(+)      = 'patient'

Migrating from MSSQL2005 to OracleExpress 10g - stored proc problems

I'm trying to migrate from MSSQLExpress2005 to OracleExpress 10g.
I upgraded my SQLDeveloper 1.1.3 to SQLDeveloper 1.2 from Check Updates (Even it still displays 1.1.3 at Help->About, I assume it was upgraded because version of extensions changed to 10.2.0.29.98)
First I have renaming of my objects problem :
Why does SQLDeveloper renames my stored procedures? I dont see any reason to change.Some of about 50 occurrences :
1-"spCPLN_Alloc_ReSortForMultiAttendance" to "spCPLN_lloc_ReSortForMultitten"
2-"spCPLN_Alloc_CalculateFixedConstraints" to "spCPLN_lloc_CalculateFixedCons"
3-"spCPLN_Alloc_GetAllocationResult" to "spCPLN_lloc_GetllocationResult"
Another problem : What is the problem of this T/SQL scode snippet?I cant convert it with Scratch editor too. I got "Unexpected end of subtree : Line 0 Col 0." error

Hi Tuna ,
Thanks for the feedback.
Stored procedure names are collision managed so that they are not longer than 30 characters in length. This is a limitation of Oracles object naming convention.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/fundamentals.htm#sthref309
WRT the procedure.
There is a issue in the T-SQL translator which I have logged a bug for.
