Streams from 9i Solaris to 9i Suse Linux

I am looking at replacing a materialized view log replication scheme from an Oracle 9.2.0.6 Apps 11i database running on Solaris to a 9.2.0.6 database running on Suse Linux with Streams. I haven't seen any info indicating that the hardware and o/s must be homogeneous only that the compatibility parameter must be 9.2.0 or greater.
Does anyone know if this is/is not possible?
Thank you!

This setup should be possible.

Populate archive logs from production (Solaris) to new production(Linux) db

I want to migrate my production database(Solaris) to different environment(Linux)
After production database migration my production database(Solaris) will be up and running for 2 days.
We are going to check applications for 2 days on temporary production(Linux) database.
For 2 days my primary database(Solaris) will be up and running and generating archive logs. After that i want to populate those 2 days archives to temporary database(Linux).
Question 1: How would i populate 2 days archive logs from primary database(Solaris) to new production environment(Linux)
Is there any way/utility do apply generated archives to different database?\
I would be thankful for any expert suggestion.
Thanks,

Is there any way/utility do apply generated archives to different database?\They have to be applied to the same database (identified by DBID).
As soon as you OPEN the Linux database (and do any transactions therein), it diverges from your Solaris database. You cannot apply archivelogs of the Solaris database to the Linux database.

Adv / Dis adv Oracle11GR2 on Solaris 10 Over Suse linux 10.3

Hi Folks,
Please let me know the Advantages/ disadvantages of choosing Oracle11gR2 on Solaris10 Over Suse linux 10.3
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks
KSG

While the points brought up by the others are certainly valid, in my point of view, the best platform for Oracle, is the one which you are best capable of supporting. Where is your system administration expertise? Whatever your system administration staff is most comfortable with, should carry significant weight. If you go a direction that they are not comfortable with, at best, you're looking at retraining staff and/or hiring specific expertise. At worst, you'll run into a lot of stonewalling when trying to get support. DBAs, developers, and architects don't work in a vacuum, so, it's good to work with those who support the hardware.

Pushing management agent from a Solaris machine to a Linux Machine?

Hi There,
Currently, the enterprise manager OMS resides on a solaris system, however, we have new hardware on a LINUX. From the enterprise manager can I push an agent to a target on a LINUX machine?
Thanks,
J

I hope this link is helpful its for 11g. it might work for even 10.2.0.5 and above. First you will need to download the agent script for Linux based on the platform either 32 or 64 bit. And after you download the script( I usually use wget) make it executable using
wget http://host1.servers.com:4889/agent_download/11.1.0.0.0/linux/agentDownload.linux (32-bit)
*$ chmod 744 agentDownload.linux*
*./agentDownload.linux -b /u01/OracleHome -m host1.servers.com -r 4889*
and you can follow this link.

Can any one help me to complete the installation and execute the server successfully. I am very new to linux. Do i need to execute any other commands to complete my installation.

Dear Rajasekhar,
this error simply comes, because the architecture of your computer is not the same as the one from the test drive. As I'm not sure, which architecture the N4S test drive uses, we simply have one of the following situations here. Either
your machine is x86_64 and the N4S is i386 or
your machine is i386 and the N4S is x86_64.
Please check!
Thanks,

SCN scheme 2but i have crosschecked the same in oracle metalink 151496.1
and i got to know that
The error is reported by Oracle during allocation of the SGA and will happen
in cases where the kernel parameter SHMMAX/SHM_MAX is not set high enough.
The SHMMAX kernel parameter decides the maximum size of a shared memory segment
that can be allocated in the system. Since Oracle implements SGA using shared
memory, this parameter should be set appropriately. The value of the SHMMAX
kernel parameter should be higher than the maximum of SGA sizes of the Oracle
instances used in the server. In cases where the SHMMAX is smaller than the SGA
size, Oracle tries to fit the entire SGA into a single shared memory segment,
which will fail, and you will see the warning message in the alert.log.
The recommended value for this parameter is 4294967295 (4 GB), or the size of
physical memory, or half the size of physical memory, depending on platform.
Setting the SHMMAX to recommended value in the kernel parameter configuration
file and rebooting the server will get rid of the warning messages. See the
platform specific Oracle installation guide for detailed information on how to
modify the SHMMAX/SHM_MAX kernel parameter.but i had also set the value half of physical memory i.e 4gb but still i am getting the same error

OS migration - Existing server is on Solaris need to change to Suse Linux

Dear SDN,
My Development server is on Sun solaris 10 and need to change the OS SUSE linux 10.
kinldy guide.
1.This is migration activity or Heteogenues copy.
Kindly suggest the steps invloed in it.
please provide your expert guidelines.
Database is Oracle 10.2.0.2 .(only need to change the os not database)

My Development server is on Sun solaris 10 and need to change the OS SUSE linux 10.
1.This is migration activity or Heteogenues copy.
This is a heterogeneous system copy.
please provide your expert guidelines.
Since it´s a heterogeneous copy you need to have a certified migration consultant on-site, otherwise you will loose support for the target system (see the FAQ at http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration).
Database is Oracle 10.2.0.2 .(only need to change the os not database)
I´d use the R3load method. This will give you a "free reorganization". There are however other ways of doing that (transportable tablespaces).
Be aware that Solaris on SPARC is a BigEndian platform whereas Linux is implemented as LittleEndian - so if you exchange binary data with other systems they need to be aware of that fact.

Migrate Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Sun solaris to RHE Linux 32 bit.

We are migrating the Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Solaris two node to Linux two node including the database Oracle 10.2.04 64 bit.
Since the applications only support 32 bit we are not able to store CM tier in a 64 bit Linux so with this considerations we are going with the below plan.
1. Install RHEL 5 as a 32 bit for two nodes ( One for DB/CM and FORMS/WEB)
2. Migrate the applications and DB from Solaris to Linux as the same node configuration that is
Node A:
Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 64 bit ( SUN oS 10 64bit) -> Oracle 10.2.0.5 32bit (RHEL 5 32 bit)
Oracle Apps CM 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10 64bit) -> Oracle apps CM 32 bit(RHEL 5 32 bit)
Node B:
Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms (sun OS 10) -> Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms ( RHEL 5 32bit)
Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10) -> Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 ( RHEL 5 32 bit).
Question : 1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migration
2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux

Hi,
1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migrationWhy would you downgrade the db from 64 bit to 32 bit. As 32 Bit has lot of memory limitations.
You could keep the database on 64 bit for linux too.
2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux Please see

OS Migration from AIX to SUSE Linux

Hi All,
We are having a scenario in which we want to change our OS.
First we have AIX with oracle 10.2.0.4 and SAP ECC 6.00 which we want to change into new hardware with SUSE Linux with same Oracle and ECC 6.00
So we are planning to do Oracle Offline backup restore in the linux system, but in some placed i found If not homogeneous it will not work..
Please let us know the best way.

Patch: 8.0.5.1 on glibc-2.1 based SuSE Linux 6.2

See the top of my homepage (http://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/~mha/)
The package opatch.rpm there is for SuSE Linux 6.2, a glibc 2.1
based distribution. Oracle 8.0.5.1 needs to be patched if you
want to install it on glibc2.1-based Systems (however,
upgrading an already running Oracle-System from glibc2.0 to 2.1
works without any patches to Oracle - the problem is that Oracle
is relinked during installation, and it must be linked against
glibc2.0).
The package also takes care of some other bugs in the Oracle
installation process. It must be applied to the Oracle
installation
tree before installation, which means you cannot install from
CD. I don3t think this will be a problem - you should have 475MB
left
for running Oracle anyway (475MB is the size of the tree of
Oracle 8.0.5.1 Enterprose Edition)!
PS: A similar (pre-installation) patch for Oracle 8i is on the
way.
null

I would not blame ORACLE - I think the problem is
with the EGCS and the libraries.
I have emails from the linux.devel on these.
For e.g. a simple program such as
#include "stdio.h"
FILE *fp = stderr;
main() {
gives error on Redhat 6.0, Caldera 2.2!
It works on Solaris, IRIX, AIX, Redhat 5.2 and
even with Visual C++ 6!
I have had other programs such as pdksh (ksh) also
dumping on Redhat 6.0 and Caldera 2.2
(even after I compile everything from source!).
I have also had nothing but trouble with other databases
on 6.0. I think new kernels should go through a lot more
testing before being released like this.
I am also debating whether to move back to Redhat 5.2!

Migrate my Suse Linux users account to mac os x moutain lion?

Can someone tell me how to migrate my Suse Linux user accounts, including mail, to mac os x moutain lion?

You need write a script to map your /etc/passwd database to the values in MacOS. Use the dscl command like here: http://www.deadmarshes.com/Blog/20111105010130.html or here: http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=141798
You can't take the /etc/shadow, because MacOS encrypts the passwords other than Linux.
Your users need to change their password:
- via Webinterface from Mountain Lion
- or via Server.app
- or on a linux client using the OpenDirectory (LDAP) from ML
Each mail user needs to belong to the group com.apple.access_mail. You can configure with ML-tools any forwards. Tools: Server.app (Appstore), WorkGroupManager (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1567)
I'm migrated/migrating my users from Solaris LDAP. I'm using this technology.
Migrating the Mail system is an other task.
