Utility for migrating Domain Definitions from Oracle Designer to JHeadstart

Hi,
I am currently involved in the migration of a pretty substantial application, developed with Oracle Designer’s Web Server Generator, to the Oracle ADF technology stack, using JHeadstart. You know I am a big fan of JHeadstart for a number of reasons, but this particular application is ideally suited for JHeadstart (or I should say the other way round of course). JHeadstart and ADF can do everything Web PL/SQL Toolkit and the Web Server Generator can do - and much, much more. So both end users and developers of this application stand to gain from the migration.
However , due to special technical limitations in the Web Server Generators and the inventive hand-crafted work-arounds, I can use the JHeadstart Designer Generator migration tool only for th 60% really simple maintenance modules. The other 40% is better off with building from scratch.
There is one piece of information in Oracle Designer that is quite useful to me - that is the Domain Definitions. The sets of allowable values that power the dropdownlists and radio groups is needed in JHeadstart’s Application Definition file, and the current edition of the JHeadstart Designer Generator does not allow the migration of Domains (only complete modules are supported).
In this article: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1352 is describe a way to migrate a selected set of domain definitions from Oracle Designer to JHeadstart. This approach works for all releases of JHeadstart - from the early beginnings back in 2002 to the latest 10.1.3 release.
best regards,
Lucas

Probably better to ask / confirm this on the Warehouse Builder forum, but ....
I believe that OWB will always indicate a default value for NotNull columns. It might also do this for value-constrained columns (one where you have set Allowable Values directly for the column or for a domain associated to the column). In a normal situation, most column definitions are NullAllowed, but if you're doing some simple test runs and have nothing but key columns and some rudimentary data columns then you might have inadvertantly caused this situation.
hope this helps

Is there any patch for migrating database server from oracle to sql server

we have very large application build using oracle forms 6i
(release 2) & reports 6i & Oracle Database as back-end server.
Now we want to port our application on sql server. Is there any
patch available , so that we don't have to change anything at
application level except connection string.
currently I am using :
oca 6.0.5.35.0
sql server 2000
odbc 3.5xxx
d2k 6i(release 2)
But we have to make lot of changes at application level.
So any one can tell me about any tool, or patch for converting
without changing too much at application level.

Importing from Oracle Designer

Hi, I am looking to migrate from Oracle Designer. We have 2k plus objects in a enterprise model supporting multiple applications. When following the dialogs to import into DM 3.1, I connect to the repository fine but when I select our Logical application system, I am not seeing all our entities. What is the basis for selecting entities to present? Do they need to be checked in? We have some that are not yet versioned that do not show up and I can see them not being there but others that are versioned do not show up. I think most of these are checked out but I see some that are checked out as well. Any ideas, thks.

Yes they need to be checked in if they are versioned.

Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
Rgrds,
G.K

As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)

Migrating to 10g from Oracle 7

Hi all,
The company is planing to migrate to 10g from Oracle 7.
I have heard that it is impossible to migrate directly from 7 to 10g using dbua.
Is it possible using export/import. I have not worked on 7 or 10g.
Also how can we move from forms3 to forms 6i.
Thanks in Advance,
Sanju

As for Forms, read the documentation and view the tutorials on
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html
(especially 'Upgrade character mode Forms to the Web')
Also: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/264850.pdf
You will probably first have to upgrade to Forms 4.5, then to 6i.
Going from character mode to a graphical user interface is not so easy. You may consider a professional tool like the converter from Kumaran.

Migration of data from Oracle to Sybase ASIQ

Hello !
I want to know , if there is any way to migrate the database from oracle 8i to sybase ASIQ ( Adaptive Server IQ 12.4). The database has 14 tables in which some tables have more than 3 lakh records. I have tried to convert the tables into tab delimited text files ( by using ADO Explorer software) and then load data in ASIQ ( Adaptive Server IQ 12.4) from these flat files. The process is working fine with tables which have less data. But for large tables ( with 3 lakh records) the ADO explorer hangs in between conversion. Is there any tool in Oracle which can migrate data from tables to tab delimited text files ?
or is there any tool which can directly migrate data from oracle 8i to Sybase ASIQ directly ?

Can you use Sybase Component Integration Services (CIS). Can you create the Oracle database as a remote database and then do selects against the Oracle tables directly into the Sybase tables. I am not sure if this is available in IQ server. If not then if you have a regular Sybase server could you do it through there somehow and then move the database from Sybase to IQ.

Best Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
Thanks,
Anendu Bothra
Edited by: Anendu Bothra on Mar 5, 2009 10:24 AM

You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

Tools for migrating data (documents) from MS SQL to Oracle

Hi,
Please let me know if there any tools available for migrating documents from one database like MS SQL to Oracle. Currently our documents are stored in MS SQL and we are planning to implement KM for document management with Oracle as the database.
Regards,
Suresh

The old manual style still works - create the scripts for the migration objects, then use search & replace to rename the schema for all affected objects and finally run the SQL script to create them in the Oracle database.

BPM design for trigger based file from Oracle

Hi
We have one requirement as follows:
1. We need to receive trigger file from Oracle.
2. As soon as we recieved trigger file, it needs to activate all other 10 JDBC adapter channels.
3. once reciever all 10 RFC channels completed, it needs to pass that trigger file.
Please suggest design.
Thanks
Siva

Hi Siva,
1. We need to receive trigger file from Oracle.
define a sender CC (FILE) which polls a directory every N seconds.
The receiver of this message should be your BPM.
2. As soon as we recieved trigger file, it needs to activate all other 10 JDBC adapter channels.
in your BPM, trigger your 10 sender CC (JDBC). See sap help and blog to know how to trigger externally a CC. Easy to do.
3. once reciever all 10 RFC channels completed, it needs to pass that trigger file.
Then always in your BPM, you have to do a correlation on the 10 SQL responses (that's crazy!). Several blogs and threads on this subject.
And after that, in BPM what do you do of these 10 SQL responses (thats' crazy!) ? do you have to merge data ?
Welcome to the birthday of a future monster... for dev and maintenance... Sincerely simplify your flow!
Question: do you really need to have 10 SQL? for your needs, is it not possible to create a stored procedure in database which will do the 10 SQL (with Join tables)... if yes do it, by tis way you will have only one Sender CC (JDBC) to trigger, and no correlation in a BPM. That will greatly simplify your flow.

Migrate an schema from oracle 8i to 11g

Hello,
I am struggling to find all the requirement to upgrade one schema running on oracle db 8i installed on an sparc server non-global solaris 8 zone to a oracle 11g running on solaris 10 x86 non-global zone.
there are changes in architecture.
what I know is:
export using exp utiliy from oracle 8i
import in oracle 11g using exp utility of 11g if still available.
I only need to migrate two schemas respectively of 1gb and 2gb
here are the schemas and the sizes:
Total
Schema Schema Name Size (Mb)
CLAIMS 2851.07031
ARCCLAIMS 1290.9375
can you someone tell me what is the best way to perform this.. this is what I think i should do.
I have to set the character set NLS_Lang of the source db both in source and target machine. both server do not have the same character set. oracle 8i has WE8ISO8859P1 and oracle 11g has WE8MSWIN1252
then perform execute the catsql.exp script
perform the exp
exp sys/******* owner=CLAIMS file=CLAIMS.dmp
for the imp do i have to create the user or it will be created automatically should I create the timespaces amd user manually?
what would be the command to be used to import?
thank you.

How to migrate a table from ORACLE 10g to 8i

have table named 'liuxg_tab_01' in 10g.
This morning I exported this table using 'exp' and then tried to imp it into 8i, I failed.
After a while, I created a database link named 'ctf' in 8i which connected to 10g. I issued 'create table test as selct * from liuxg_tab_01@ctf',it returns 'ORA-01723'.
Then I extraced the DDL of 'liuxg_tab_01' from 10g with QUEST TAOD, it's:
CREATE TABLE LIUXG_TAB_01
OWNER VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
SUBOBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OBJECT_ID NUMBER,
DATA_OBJECT_ID NUMBER,
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
CREATED DATE,
LAST_DDL_TIME DATE,
TIMESTAMP VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
STATUS VARCHAR2(7 BYTE),
TEMPORARY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
GENERATED VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
SECONDARY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
But I can not create a table using the upper DDL in 8i if I do not wipe off those "BYTES".
After creation of the table using the upper DDL without those 'BYTES', I sucessfully executed 'insert into LIUXG_TAB_01 select * from liuxg_tab_01@ctf'.
Anyone has a better method to move a table from ORACLE 10g to 8i?

1) The particular version of 8i and 10g in use here would be useful. I'm not sure that Oracle supports database links between any version of 8i and any version of 10g, though, so you're probably lucky that it worked as well as it did.
10g 10.1.0.3.0 and 8i 8.1.7.0.0
2) What version of the export utility did you use? You would need to use the 8i version to generate the dump file to have any chance of working, not the 10g verion.
I use the 'exp' provided with 10g 10.1.0.3.0 and 'imp' with 8i 8.1.7.0.0. I have tried to export data directly from 10g 10.1.0.3.0 using 'exp' provided with 8i 8.1.7.0.0. Failed.
3) Why? Since 8i is desupported, there isn't a lot of call for tools to move data from supported releases to unsupported releases.
We have an 8i DB which is still porivding insentive services. We just wanna migrate some tales from 10g to it.
FYI, NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS was introduced in 9i, so it's no suprise that 8i objected to the BYTE keyword in the DDL.
What's FYI :P
Another option would be to generate a CSV file of the data from 10g and use SQL*Loader to load it into 8i. Not sure this would be any easier, though.

Help in strategy for Migrating to MPLS from PRN cloud Same provider

Dear,
We are planning to migrate to MPLS from PRN using same provider, I have about 12 sites to migrate, new circuits have been provisioned and new routers are ready to be shipped to each site for installation.
Now, I am facing a dilemma, briefly speaking with provider they tell me that we can migrate a site a time no problem here, then next day they tell me it needs to be a hot cut over migration how can this be? so going back and forth and tayloring routers configurations I literally stopped, would like ask for assistance and your opinion on how to go about such migration to tentatively lock into a solid strategy.
Any documents out there you can point me to or experience in such migration will be appreciated.
All of our sites currently connect to PRN cloud including HQ, running OSPF multiple areas, at a glance I was thinking the provider would somehow bridge the two clouds so that I could build a parallel infrastructure and migrate branch offices one at a time but I am still unclear on how to proceed, I will be speaking with the provider more extensively in the next few days but any guidance will be appreciated.
Best Regards

Henry, thanks for those links and help.
Would like to share what I have done which seems so far to be working properly, so that if any one comes accross they get an idea.
It turned out our RPN/MPLS provider cannot or don't want to somehow cross connect the two clouds, so I was forced to do the cross connect at my end begining with two sites, I have setup what I had in mind, for each of the two targeted sites I have installed a new 3845 router with new DS3 link to MPLS cloud and created a cross connect to a 6509_switch_router that is connected under the PRN infrastructure. The 3845 was configured as a virtual link for ospf, all good here so far the 3845 joing ospf domain and received routing table from from PRN side. The next site had also new router and new circuit for the MPLS side, at this second site I brough down the router connecting to PRN cloud then brought up the new 2811 router which I had preconfigured under the same ospf domain and received routing table from the 3845 router DS3 MPLS link. We will let it run for a week to allow to troubleshoot or spod any issues before proceeding to migrate more sites.

Migration of Database from Oracle to SQL Server in Business Objects XI 3.1

Hi,
Currently, We are working on Business Objects XI 3.1 and Database is Oracle 11g. And now we have the requirement to migrate from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2.
I would like to know what are the key points to be considered in business objects XI 3.1 when the database is migrated from oracle to SQL server.
If anyone can share the Impact analysis document for Business Objects, it would be great.
Thanks,
Lavanyaa TP

If you use business objects tools for such migration , the impact should be minimal.
CMSDBCopy mechanism from CCM should work fine for this purpose.
