Application Migration Assistant Test

Testing setup of AMA forum

Janet, had a quick look at the tool. It looks great. Very useful for my project. Also, I found it to be very stable.

Installation of Migration Assistant

I've just installed the Migration Assistant and I see the mySQL plugins, but how do you migrate from T-SQL? The setup routine only looks at what plugins installed, yet I don't see T-SQL or MS Access.
What am I doing wrong?

Migration Assistant? Do you mean the Oracle Migration Workbench or the JDeveloper Application Migration assistant?
What are you trying to do?

Oracle JDeveloper 10g version 9.0.5.2 download

Dear All,
I am not able to download Oracle JDeveloper 10g version 9.0.5.2 which supports application migration assistance. Please let me know the link from where I can download the same.
Thank You very much,
Pabitra Dash

You might want to try out version 10.1.2 which is the same base code as 9.0.5, but with bug fixes.

Oracle JDeveloper Tutorial

Any suggestions on a book that will walk one thru a Oracle JDeveloper application as a means of a tutorial/teaching tool?

There are a bunch of tutorials linked from the JDeveloper home page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/index.htm
At the top there are three tutorials that take you through a complete application development process.
Other books are here:

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is now available!

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is a next-generation GUI migration tool to help you migrate your databases to the Unicode character set. It is free for customers with database support contracts. The DMU is built on the same GUI platform as SQL Developer and JDeveloper. It uses dedicated RDBMS functionality to scan and convert a database to AL32UTF8 (or to the deprecated UTF8, if needed for some reasons). For existing AL32UTF8 and UTF8 databases, it provides a validation mode to check if data is really encoded in UTF-8. Learn more about the tool on its OTN pages.
There is a new Database Migration Assistant for Unicode. We encourage you to post all questions related to the tool and to the database character set migration process in general to that forum.
Thanks,
The DMU Development Team

HI there!
7.6.03 ? Why do you use outdated software for your migration.
At least use 7.6.06 or 7.7.07 !
About the performance topic - well, you've to figure out what the database is waiting for.
Activate time measurement, activate the DBanalyzer with a short snapshot interval (say 120 or 60 seconds) and check what warnings you get.
Also you should use the parameter check to make sure that you don't run into any setup-induced bottlenecks.
Apart from these very basic prerequisites for the analysis of this issue, you may want to check
SAP Note 1464560 FAQ: R3load on MaxDB
Maybe you can use some of the performance features available in the current R3load versions.
regards,
Lars
p.s.
open a support message if you're not able to do the performance analysis yourself.

Migrating applciation from weblogic to oracle 9i application server(OC4J)??????

Hi,
I am migrating my ejb application from weblogic to oracle 9i application server.What changes are needed to be made in code and what configuration changes are required.
In my application i use a couple of session beans wherin a session bean calls the method of the other session bean which acceses the database.I am using a jdbc thin driver for the database connection. is it possible for a session bean to call a method of another session bean which access the database??This concept works well in weblogic where the current application is running.
The problem is that while migrating the application to the orion server, it gives an OrionCMTException ...
memory leak..etc.
Could any one clarify.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Avi and Harrison,
Cease Fire avi!!!!.First of all let me clear the issue of posting the same problem twice.Well, when i mentioned the problem the first time , i found the title session bean deployment was not right and few people would look into it as it was a common problem so i thought it would be appropriate if i mentioned the title correctly , so i posted the query again with the change in title.
Now coming to the answer for ur questions.
The platform used is MS Windows NT.
The (OC4J) version is 1.0.2.2.1.
I am not using JDeveloper.
The database is oracle 8i and i am using the thin driver.
The beans to be deployed are stateless session beans.
The client involved is a web client i.e a jsp application.
The first session bean is as follows.

But if the DBUTILITY session bean is changed to a simple bean and accessed the code works fine and i am able to retrieve the data.Is the problem there because u one session bean cannot access a database connection method from another one or could it be because of the driver???
I hope i am clear.Please revert back in case any more references are needed.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!

When I use Oracle Jdeveloper 10g (10.1.3.4.0) , I can use it to set Libraris.
I have a swing application need these operation.
Does anyone can tell me what's the reason?
Thanks.
I had tried Oracle JDeveloper 11g R1 (11.1.1.1.0)(Build 5407).
It is OK.
Maybe I need to download Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.2.0) again.

I am encountering the same bug / problem right now.
Anybody from Oracle who has a workaround for this BUG?
We are migrating to JDev 11.1.1.2.0 for a client and this bug is still there!
Any help from the JDev team is highly appreciated!

Conversion from Other Application to Oracle JDeveloper

Dear R/s,
We have a C/S architecture system developed using Compuware-Uniface as front-end and and Oracle 7.2 as back-end. Now we are planning to upgrade our system. We have come to a decesion that Oracle 7.2 db needs to be migrated to Oracle 8i and Uniface frontend application to be converted to Oracle JDeveloper. My question to you is that, Is there any utility in Oracle JDeveloper which would help converting the objects developed in UNIFACE to Oracle JDeveloper. Please let me know as we are in a hurry to come to a decesion.

I assume this is a simplified version of a more complex problem, since your second function would not return anything more than the first. If you want to use TABLE on a ref cursor, then you need to do some sort of intermediary transformation, such as using a pipelined function, as in the example in the link below. Also, this does not appear to have anything to do with objects, so should be posted in the SQL and PL/SQL forum instead.

I am having problems with migration assistant (windows pc to Mac 2011) When I get to the 'Quit other applications' box and click continue, nothing happens. There are no other apps running - any ideas, please?

I am having probems with migration assistant. Trying to transfer data from a windows laptop to iMac 2011. It was working fine when I did the set-up yesterday, but it was going to take hours to transfer some videos so I quit the process with the intention of doing it again at a later stage. However today I find that everytime I get to the 'Quit other applications' box on the Mac and click 'continue', nothing happens. Have checked mission control and confirmed no other apps running. Tried several times with the same result every time. Migration Assistant running on my laptop with the 'Waiting for mac to connect' box displayed. Mac is connected to wi-fi OK as able to use Safari and access internet. Any ideas, please?

Thanks for your suggestions. Have managed to get Migration Assistant working but now have a new problem, i.e. where does it save the transferred files?!! Searched a few forums and it seems it saves it under your old username, or suchlike. Anyway I tried logging on as a new user using my old user name but there were only a handful of files there, couldn't locate the majority of stuff from my old laptop. Anyway I don't intend to go through any more hoops with MA - will just save the important stuff to an external drive and transfer it that way. Not impressed with MA at all. I thought it was supposed to be a user-friendly tool to simplify the transfer from pc to Mac - not my experience, I'm afraid!

Some of my applications and/or folders got corrupted after using Migration Assistant

Hello,
Had an iMac with Snow Leopard installed (1 single admin user).
Also had a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard installed (1 single admin user).
Got everything transfered to a single brand new MacMini with Lion pre-installed using the following method:
- Started the new Mac Mini from scratch and used Migration Assistant during setup process to import ALL data from old MacMini (user, applications, settings and other files) using ethernet connection.
- This went perfectly well with 1 or 2 minor errors regarding 1 or 2 startup items but resolved with erasing and re-installing them.
- Applied all available Software Updates to get an updated version of Lion (10.7.5)
- Then launched Migration Assistant from the new Mac Mini to import ALL data from iMac (user, applications, settings and other files)
- This went well as I got the same message than previous transfer (all data was transferred OK)
- Also got another message saying some X folder was not compatible with targeted system and same with some CHUD folder.
I finally got my 2 admin users gathered onto the single new Mac Mini in 2 separate admin user sessions.
If an app was already transferred from the old Mini but also installed on the iMac it did not get transferred from the iMac thus keeping the Mac Mini version.
For such apps I have permissions issues and some of the folders used by the 2 different admin users such as /Movies or /Documents are locked depending on which user session is opened.
I tried repairing permissionsusing Disk Utility but with no success.
I also tried to delete and re-install these applications but it did not work.
Last chance was to grant full access attributes to the related folders via their information panel or System Preferences (User & Groups tab) but it did not work either.
Could somebody please explain the background for this issue and how could I solve it?
I am thinking of re-installing Lion from scratch, transfer the old Mac Mini again (ALL data) and then import iMac user but only USER data (not applications and settings). Would it work?
Thanks for any help you could provide,
François

I was finally able to fix this by using a couple of preference management utilities. Either I missed a key preference file for each app, or there are some hidden preference files, but when I used the prefence management utitilities (such as Preferntial Treatment, PrefEdit, Defaulter, or PlistEdit Pro) I was able to look at the prefs for Firefox and Photoshop CS2 and see where the hostname for the my old G4 was listed. (in the case of Photoshop CS2 it was actually in the list of recently opened files!! I should have noticed that from within Photoshop)
Now that I've removed those entries from preferences both Photoshop and Firefox run without prompting that the old G4 had to mounted.
oh, also... I found that for both Photoshop & Firefox I could actually get them to work without mounting the old G4's root volume - it just took clicking past the pop-ups (about 10 of them for each app) and waiting a long time as it searched around for the next one (maybe about 10 minutes total ... normally I don't have time to waste like that, but I got curious and made the time).
Thank you for your suggestions. as I had suspected, Migration Assistant moved some preferences from the old G4 that had it's hostname embedded and for some reason the apps weren't clearing them out when they were launched on the new machine (again, odd since I didn't have Migration Assistant move the apps from the old G4 to the new G5 - I installed each app on the G5 as a new install (aka: a "clean install") to avoid just this type of problem).
My real thanks are to the authors of the above mentioned preference management utilities.

I just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to transfer my files. Initially, all was working, but now a week later, I get the message that the application manager is missing, and I cannot get Photoshop and InDesign to launch. For my personal use, I did not a need to join Creative Cloud. Have you any suggestions for a work-around?

HT4796 When I run migration assistant on my PC, I get a message saying windows mail is running and won't let me proceed. Windows Mail is not running. I checked Task Manager's applications, services and processes and found no references to Window's Mail.

Got a new iMac 27" for Christmas (well a little after) and tried using Migration Assistant to transfer some files. I can't get past a window on the PC that pops up indicating Quit Other Programs Before you can transfer your information, the following programs must be shutdown: Windows Mail Close these programs and run Migration Assistant again. If these programs do not appear to be running, restart your computer and try again.
I've rebooted. I've searched Task Manager - Applications, Processes and Services and there are no references to WMail. I don't or haven't knowingly used Windows Mail and Outlook isn't even installed on my PC. Does anybody know how to get around this without using external drives, USB flashdrives, etc.

Lots of fun.... The superdrive in my Macbook seems to have gone off kilter since my install. Now the CD-R won't work regardless of which operating system I use. Normal CD's and DVD's are fine, but any CD-R is taken as a blank disk.
Using an external CD drive solved this problem.

HT4889 Will migration assistant/setup assistant transfer applications like Photoshop, MS Office, etc.?

I'm going to be moving from one MacBook Pro to a newer one. My current MBP has the MS Office suite installed, plus Photoshop and Lightroom. Will setup assistant/migration assistant transfer those applications, or do I need to install them on the new machine myself?

It should, if there is nothing the matter with the hardware of the machine. Backup your data as a clone just in case. It is always helpful to have more hard disk space in the destination than the origin.

HT4889 can I choose which applications to transfer with migration assistant?

I do not want to transfer all my applications from my old Mac Book Pro. (like Toast or DVD Studio since there is no DVD burner and other apps that I don't use)
Is there a way to customize the transfer to pick just the Applications I want using Migration Assistant or something else?

It will transfer ALL applications except the older versions of the standard apps. Just delete them after the transfer.
