Any specific disadvantage of using DataPump for upgrade ?

Hi,
Here's my config
SERVER A
Source O/S : Win 2003
Source DB : 10.2.0.4 ( 32 bit )
DB Size : 100 GB
SERVER B
Target O/S : Win 2008 R2 sp1
Target DB : 11.2.0.3 ( 64 bit )
I have to upgrade 10g Database of server A , by installing 11g on Server B. I have not used database upgrade assistant or RMAN or similar utilities to perform a 10g upgrade to 11g anytime in the past.
Here is my question ...
a) I was planning to use datapump to perform this upgrade ( Downtime is not a issue ), since I know how to use datapump, do you guys see any potential problem with this approach ? OR
b) Based on your exp. would you suggest that i should avoid option (a) because of potential issues and use other methods that oracle suggests like upgrade assistants etc
I am open to both options, it's just that since i am not a expert at this point of time, i was hesitating a bit to go with option (b)
db is supposed to undergo from 32 to 64 bit. Not sure if this would be deal breaker.
Note : The upgrade is suppose to happen on 2nd server. Can somebody provide high level steps as pointer.
-Learner

If downtime is not an issue, datapump is certainly an option. How big if the database ? The steps are documented

  • Any chance of success using iMovie for Film Festival Submission?

    Say with iMovie, say 11, 09, or my old HD?
    Or do I need Final Cut, say Express?
    Will I be able to submit a sufficiently high def version using iMovie 11? Or will the degradation be too much, supposing that I edit in iMovie, then burn to DVD with iDVD.
    The film will be about 7 minutes and shot with Panasonic GH1 and a Go Pro in HD. There may be slow motion and a mix of ambient sound, voice, and music.
    It'll be entirely shot outdoors under somewhat nasty conditions. Meaning no lights, usually no tripod.
    The reason I mention these latter points is that perhaps the quality of what I bring back (shaky, low light) might be the limiting factor and not the image degradation.
    I have made many iMovies for YouTube, but would like to go bigger, so to speak, in quality of video, not necessarily length.
    Would I benefit from going to Final Cut Express? Or could I stick with iMovie?
    Anybody out there ever use iMovie for something like Banff Mtn Film Festival?

    Yes, Banff Mtn Film Festival:
    Here's what they ask (don't actually understand all the requirements, yet)
    TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
    For purposes of pre-selection, judging and festival screening, all

  • Health App / healthkit: any specific online forum / facebook group for interested users?

    Hi,
    Do you know any online forum / facebook group specifically for Health App / healthkit interested users?
    I am finding information scarce and dispersed... would be nice to join a group or forum were most of the news and debates on healthkit could be found.

    To Scxy1234: I also don't know why my paste special options only had 3 choices excluding "device independent bitmap'
    To Steve Fan: I created the new second user account in my window 8. It was set as a standard account, not as administrator account as my first original user account. Specifically, i used the same email address with this forum account's to
    create this second user account. It means that the second user account in my laptop also was a Microsoft account.
    Can you guess what happened after i had logged in to the second user account? I opened some random websites by firefox, copied and pasted all text and pictures on these websites into a word document and onenote successfully without any problems!!!!
    I saved this word document and exported this onenote section to a Usb. After that, i switched from second standard user account to my window administrator account and opened the two files which were saved to Usb previously. They were opened and displayed
    normally as the same as what i previously had seen in the second user account, i.e. pasted text and pictures were displayed normally. However, when i opened the same web address again to copy the same text and pictures to word and onenote, there were only
    text lines pasted successfully, excluding pictures! This old strange problem happened again when using original administrator account for logging in window. In contrast, when using the second standard user account to log in window, copying and pasting text
    and online pictures of Microsoft office worked normally.
    I truly don't figure out the reason(s) caused this strange problem. I think my case is a special case because i tried all solutions other people had tried but nothing worked.
    Please help me!
    p/s: when i logged in the second standard user account, i opened the paste special options in word and there were only 3 choices under paste special options, excluding "device independent bitmap"

  • Benefits vs Disadvantages of using DNS for Oracle RAC (12c or 11g)

    For nearly all of my Oracle RAC Builds, I've used /etc/hosts and not DNS.  As such I've not been able to take full advantage of GNS and SCANS.
    Please note some of your experiences associated with the benefits of using DNS configuration for your Oracle 12c RAC Builds.   I'm building my 12c RAC now and I'm starting to configure DNS so that I can provide my customers with better value/add of High Availability.   I've used /etc/hosts in the past and one of my arguments in using /etc/hosts can be more secure because you only put in the /etc/hosts what you want the node to know.   I also beleave that using /etc/hosts is a lot more simple and perhaps that could be a potential vulnerability.   I've decided to start using DNS and to learn how to make it secure.
    Your experiences are appreciated.  Thanks in Advance!

    I see no disadvantages using DNS.
    What happens with your clients if your DNS goes down? It stop working?
    What is the cost to manage the host files from all host desktop and servers?
    I see no reason to not use DNS.
    > For nearly all of my Oracle RAC Builds, I've used /etc/hosts and not DNS.  As such I've not been able to take full advantage of GNS and SCANS.
    Wrong... Full advantage of Clusterware, because is not supported use GNS or SCAN without a DNS.

  • Can I use Datapump for replication of Delta from one database to another

    Good Morning Experts,
    I would like to know if can we use Data Pump (expdp and impdp) for replication between two database only for delta and not for complete database on daily basis and how?
    Regards,
    MS

    MS,
    I assume you are talking about both metadata and data. I don't know of a way to do this. I have heard of dba's using Data Pump import to track differences in metadata, but not to replicate them.
    To track differences in metadata you do the following every day:
    export full=y ...
    import full=y sqlfile=full_todays_data.sql ...
    Then from day to day, just diff the .sql file to see what changed. You will see if tables added/dropped columns, new indexes, etc. Based on this, you may be able to come up with a set of expdp/impdp jobs to replicate the modified objects, but there is nothing built in.
    Hope this helps

  • Are there any specific advantages of using Forte's XSLT Processor over other Processor's?

     

    The main advantage is integration into the UDS run-time system. This makes writing applications that perform XSL transformations in TOOL very easy.
    You could implement such transformations using one of UDS's many methods for integrating external components. You can then use XSLT processors that support extension mechanisms that you need, or other non-standard features. This would come at the cost of using the external integration mechanism appropriate to the processor. See the "Integrating with External Systems" book in the UDS documentation.

  • WRT54GL V 1.1 : how to reserve IP for specific MAC address using DHCP

    My !free! made in China router have this functionality. And yet I have been banging my head with this new reasonably expensive wireless router from Linksys. Anyway I lug my notebook around. I need my home router to be able to automatically configure notebook IP address using DHCP. At the same time I need the ip given by home router through DHCP to be the same IP all the time. So "static" ip is not the solution. Alternative "static" ip is also not a solution. Anything with the word "static" in it is not a solution. I know about third party firmware (wrt or tomato) and I know WRT54GL can be flashed with this third party firware. But I'm not going to void my warranty. This will be my last option but not the solution that I seek. I would like to know how to reserve ip for specific mac address using DHCP for WRT54GL V1.1. If this version have no way to make such configuration, I would like to know if there is official firmware upgrade that address this. Thanks in advance!

  • Why should we use BRTOOLS for  oracle data backup?

    Hi there,
    Any one of you have any idea on specific advantages with using BRTOOLS for backup over using only Oracle RMAN?
    Are there any advantages using brbackup in databackups which we do not get with RMAN alone?
    thanks

    i seriously doubt you want to use wsdl4j unless you are doing really advanced webservice work. assuming you are developing this webservice from scratch, you basically want to use JAXWS: define an appropriate interface and your value classes, and let JAXWS do the rest. metro is the JAXWS implementation included in the oracle jdk and it has great tutorials and reference documentation online. i'd suggest you start here: http://metro.java.net/getting-started/

  • Since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

    since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

    Unfortunately, I have a very similar problem. Since I upgraded to os 5.1 on my new iPhone 4S the reminders screen will not add new reminders or scroll up and down. What's more strange is the screen will still scroll side to side allowing access to the Completed list, and both the Completed list and Date functions work normally so this must be an upgrades glitch.
