Moving oracle database to a new server with an upgraded oracle software

Hi Guys,
Here is the scenario, we have an existing Oracle 9.2 demo database on a Solaris 5.9 server. I was asked to transfer this to another server with same OS but with an Oracle 10g software installed. The original plan was to mount the exisiting Oracle home from the original server to the new server and from there copy all the database files and bring up the database.
Here are the steps:
- Issue an "alter database backup controlfile to trace", get the script from the trace file
- Copy all database files to the new server
- Edit parameter files
- Do a startup mount recreate the control files, do a recover database, and startup the database on the new server.
I suggested that we to a transport tablespace but due to limited resources and that the 9.2 database does not have this feature we can't perform this process. I also can't do a exp/imp of the database since we really have limited resources on a disk. I was wondering if the steps I enumerated above are correct? Or would result in an error?

Hi,
why you want to recreate the controlfile, does the mount point locations are changing from old server to new server?
if you recreating controlfile new incarnation starts, keep in mind.
you have the downtime to upgrade.. :)
shutdown
take cold backup and move to new server.
create the directory structure as exist in PFILE including CRD files.
install software
startup upgrade
upgrade database(need to add sysaux TBS)
shut immediate
startup
*@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql*
change hostname in listner.ora/tnsnames.ora files.
Thanks

Moving DP Content to a New Server With Same Name

We are currently in the middle of a server OS refresh from 2k8 to 2k12 R2. Some of the servers are DPs so I need to move the content from one server to another. The big problem is that the new server must have the same name.
I've read this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1ffcaa47-9bf8-476d-965e-28350a6bef1b/move-content-from-old-dp-to-new-dp-at-same-remote-site?forum=configmanagerapps which kind of covers my issue but I presume this person was going to
a server with a new name.
Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
Unless there is something clever the only way I see to do this is to uninstall the DP role from the current server, remove the current server from the domain, add the new server with the same name, re-install the DP role and then re-distribute all the content
to the new server. I'd rather not do this as the DP is on a remote site so all the content will be going over the WAN.
I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.
Any ideas?

Hi,
>>So can I pre-stage from the old server to the new server or does the pre-staging have to be done from the site server?
Yes, you could prestage content from the old server to the new server. Prestaged content files could be created from Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
>>What is the order of the process?
The following blog could help you to prestage content.

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

Move database to the new server

Hello,
I have 10.2.0.1 Standard Edition database (7GB, not in archivelog mode) on Windows2003 server, and need to move it to the new server (same environment). I thought to use OEM Clone option, but it appears cloning to the other host is working only in Grid - and I have DB Control.
I know about manual cloning/recreation, but now looking into export and import option. So I think to install Oracle database on the new server, then import some relevant tablespaces exported from the old database. I will use datapump utility in OEM, under system username.
Is that a good approach ? What rules should be applied to avoid problems in that case ? Sorry if it's very basic question, never moved database before.
Marina

Options for porting the database from one server to another after installing Oracle on the new server incldue
Export/Import using expdp/impdp
Rman duplicate to compatiable hardware
Rman file conversion to non-compatiable hardware
On advantage of expdp/impdp is this option supports reconfiguring the database tablespace/file/object storage layout as part of the migration. Also the adoption of new features like ASSM.
A disadvantage is that using expdp/impdp will probably be slower and involve more DBA work than using file copies via rman. There are approaches to reduce the clock time necessary to support export/import and the work is often beneficial for long-term database management efforts.
There have been threads on this topic before and failry recently. You might want to hunt one or two of them down.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Databases - Restore to New Server

We will soon be replacing an old server with a new server and I need to restore all Oracle 10.2.0.3 databases to the new server
and ensure Oracle functionality/connectivity with all databases.
I am in the process of testing and need advice and hopefully a 'Step by Step' process I can follow.
I am a systems admin - not an Oracle db admin - so please explain details of any commands I may have to run.
I have already tested once:
ran command prompt: sqplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Stopped all Oracle services:
Oracle Database
Oracle Listener
Oracle DBConsole
Installed Oracle 10.2.0.3 on new server
Ensured that the SID and all other Oracle services information matched the old server during installation on the new server.
Stopped all Oracle services on the new server (used the steps above).
Backed-up and test restored to new server.
Enterprise Manager shows: Listener Up Database Instance Down Agent Down
Any help would be appreciated

It would be good to know your operation system. I hope both new and old match or similar.
You can use RMAN to dumplicate you DB so you can follow [Creating a Duplicate Database on a New Host. Doc ID: 388431.1|https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=388431.1]
but a simple file system copy based manual duplication is also possible if new and old OS system is similar...

How to configure portal server with the Backend Oracle database

Hi Portal Experts,
we are planning to install Netweaver 04s sp stack 9 full java edition with Oracle 8i on windows platform.
we have the installation docs of portal but we didn't have any idea about how to configure Portal server with the Backend Oracle database at the time of installation or after ost installation of portal.can anyone provide the documentation about this or guide me how to achieve this.
PLZ share ur views---your help would be highly appreciable.
Regds
Phani.

HI
if you r working in Sap enterprise portal use for connection url
jdbc:sap:sqlserver://ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433;DatabaseName=Northwind
ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433 this is your portal url with port number
Northwind is your database name.
for dirver you need to give
com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
in case if you r working on other than sap say windows along with oracle try to use
Connection URL as jdbc:oracle:<drivertype>:@<database>
Driver name as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
ex jdbc:oracle:thick:@localhost:3036:mydb
Oracle implements two types of JDBC drivers:
Thick JDBC drivers built on top of the C-based Net8 client, as well as a Thin (Pure Java) JDBC driver to support downloadable applets. Oracle JDBC drivers are used to create JDBC applications to communicate with Oracle databases.
Oracle extensions to JDBC include the following features:
Data access and manipulation
LOB access and manipulation
Oracle object type mapping
Object reference access and manipulation
Array access and manipulation
Application performance enhancement

How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
Thanks,
phil

Hi philliptackett77,
As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
4.Click Script to File.
5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.

Migrate oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

Hi All,
I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
Platform : Aix
Kindly help me out

Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

While installing/configuring OID 10.1.4.0.1 we are getting the below error.
"You must have an OID schema version 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.9.9.Please select another Metadata Repository or upgrade the OID schema in this Metadata Repository to a compatable version."
Is it possible to have oracle database 10.2.0.4 with OID 10.1.4.0.1?
How to proceed further?

Hi.
We have installed Metadata Repository on the Existing database using RepCA

"You must have an OID schema version 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.9.9.Please select another Metadata Repository or upgrade the OID schema in this Metadata Repository to a compatable version."
Here there are some of the details from metadata repository database
SQL> select * from INTERNET_APPSERVER_REGISTRY.components;

Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

Hi All,
I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
with out make connection oracle.
best regards.
Hakim.

Hi Hakim.
Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
OraDump Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.

If you don't have to with code, Please refer to: Migrating Oracle Databases to SQL Server 2000
