Best approach to initial migration from Sybase IQ to BW: Files or ODBC?

Hi everyone!
I need to perform an initial migration of a VERY LARGE amount of data from Sybase IQ to BW. I've searched SDN thoroughly but didn't find anything related to it.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Thanks for your input. How would I do this? My largest table is in monthly partitions each in its own tablespace. Would the process have to be something like: alter table exchange partition-to-be-rolled-off with non-partitioned-table; then export that tablespace?

Migration from Sybase 11.9.1 to Oracle 7.3.4

Does the Oracle Migration Workbench 1.2.2 support database migration from Sybase 11.9.1 to Oracle 7.3.4?
If not, is there any work-around or any other tool? Can we still use Migration Workbench for this migration?
Thanks.

It is probably best to use the latest version of the workbench (1.2.5.0.0). Migration to 7.3 is not supported but should work except for the newer features, for example use long instead of blob and clob, and do not use 8i temporary tables.

Migration from SYBASE IQ to SYBASE ASE 11/12 and then to ORACLE 10G

Hi ,
The OWMB tool does not support migration of SYBASE IQ to ORACLE.So there should be some tool to migrate this SYBASE IQ to SYBASE ASE 11/12.And then which we can migrate to ORACLE which the OMWB supports.Does anybody have any idea about such tool(SYBASE IQ to SYBASE ASE 11/12).
Thanks With Regards,
Vinoth

Vinoth,
That's correct. However Sybase IQ is normally associated with Data Warehouses. Have you investigated the suitability of using Oracle Warehouse builder to assist with such a migration?
Ispirer supports migration from Sybase IQ 12 ( http://www.ispirer.com/products)

Migrating from Sybase Anywhere to ASE

I am in process of migrating from Sybase Anywhere to ASE and trying to import a table from Anywhere to ASE, I getting following error message that could not find appropriate data type for column - now this column from Anywhere has data type of datetime.

ASE does not have any wizards so you must be using some sort of GUI/tool/application.
What GUI/tool/application are you using? PowerDesigner? Sybase Central? Sybase Control Center? Something else?
Can you *connect* to the ASA and ASE instances with this GUI/tool/application? [Forget the 'import' operation for the moment ... and verify you can just *connect* to both ASA and ASE.]
Also, what is the actual/complete error message?
NOTE: I don't use GUI/tools so depending on the error there may not be much more I can assist with.

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

reproduced and see exception in console, bug logged.

Migrating from Sybase to Oracle

Hi!
Can someone tell me, how to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
Thank U.

Hi,
You don't say if you have used the SQL*Developer migration workbench for the migration so far.
This has a feature for transferring data offline which should do what you want.
Have a look at the documentation linked from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or at -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm

Issue during migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer v 3.2.20.09 to migrate from Sybase to Oracle Pl/SQL 12c
While migrating the stored procedure the following block did not convert. I got NULL instead of object_id:
Sybase Block:
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.CheckEst
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
PRINT ‘<<>>’
ELSE
PRINT ‘<<>>’
END
Oracle Block after conversion:
BEGIN
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE CheckEst;
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
END IF;
END;
END IF;
END;
Lines 1 & 4 got converted to NULL. I have many places where such code is written.
Is there any quick way to overcome such an issue? or what needs to be done in such case?

Hi,
You are using an older version of SQL*Developer. Could you download the latest 4.0.2 version available from here -
Oracle SQL Developer
and check if you still have the problem ?

Migration from sybase 11 to Oracle 9i

Hi,
I have to migrate all db objects (tables structures,table data,triggers,sp) from Sybase 11 to Oracle 9i
There are currently two free tools -
Migration workbench (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/index.html )
and
SQL Developer( http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html )
for this purpose.
SQL developer has a provision to convert scripts which I can use for SPs and scripts one @ a time.
Problem is migrating table structures along with data.
from SQL developer I can't connect to sybase thou I provide all the details and from workbench in the online mode I need the sa login which is not possible as the database is live and @ client side.
SQL Loader can be used but will require to make CSV files from each sybase table and hence is time consuming.

Hi,
Migration Workbench is not available for Sybase database.
As you can see on this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/files/mig_rel10104.html
Only Informix and DB2 database are supoprted now with this product.
With SQL Developer, we only support last versions of Sybase : V12 and V15.
As you don't have any remote access to your client database and no SA login , the best way would be :
==>to get and export from Sybase 11.
==>install a V12 somewhere (on your site , you can download the Sybase V15 )and import the Sybase database
Then SQL developer can migrate quickly your database without any problem.
I hope it helps you.

Migration from Sybase 11 to Oracle 8i

I am trying to migrate a Sybase DB to Oracle 8i. The platform of Sybase system is VMS and Oracle is UNIX. Can I use workbench to migrate between two different platform?
If not, is it the only way to export sybase to a flat file and then load to Oracle using SQL loader?
Thanks

Migration from Sybase to Oracle

Hello every one,
First of all I want to say thank you for your time,
I would like that you certify my process, and, if not good, that you give me a better choice,
I want to migrate one database from Sybase 12.5 in a Solaris 8 platform to Oracle 10g in a HP platform.
I was thinking to migrate this Database using Oracle Database Migration Verifier, and I have this software in Windows platform.
My questions is: if is possible than I use a Migration Verifier since my windows to migrate a database from Sybase in Solaris 8 to Oracle 10g in HP?
I will appreciate your help.
Regards.

Hi,
I am working on the migration of existing system in Sybase 12.5 to Oracle 10g. Sybase 12.5 and Oracle 10g both are in solaris environment.
I am currently working on Oracle Migration Work Bench. I am facing issues with this tool. Its showing frequent errors and going into infinite loops.
Is there any other version of this tool which i can use ?
Is there any other such efficient tool which i can use for the same ?
Please let me know asap as its very urgent.

Best approach for RFC call from Adapter module

What is the best approach for making a RFC call from a <b>reciever</b> file adapter module?
1. JCo
2. Is it possible to make use of MappingLookupAPI classes to achieve this or those run in the mapping runtime environment only?
3. Any other way?
Has anybody ever tried this? Any pointers????
Regards,
Amol

Hi ,
The JCo lookup is internally the same as the Jco call. the only difference being you are not hardcoding the system related data in the code. So its easier to maintain during transportation.
Also the JCO lookup code is more readable.

Migrating from Sybase 11.9

Is there an Oracle tool still available for migrating Sybase release 11.9 databases to Oracle? I can't seem to find anything on the Oracle website.
Thank you,
Steve

SQL Developer migration is the latest migration tool Oracle offers to mograte foreign databases to Oracle. Unformtunately it does not cover Sybase ASE 11.9 database releases according to the manual:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/pdf/migrationdatasheet_15.pdf
To migrate a Sybase 11 ASE you might think about using the old Migration Workbench utility:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/migration/workbench/index.html
The Sybase 11 plugin has been removed from the list of available resources, but it is still available on the download server:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/omwb/101040/Sybase11.jar
In addition I've notified develoment if they could implement again a link on the OMWB download page fro the Sybase 11 plugin.
So you need to get from the Oracle Migration Workbench download URL the common file of OMWB:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/omwb/101040/omwb.zip
Extract this ZIP file into a directory of your choice.
The plugin (make sure you save the file as it is - as a JAR file) into the OMWB Plugin directory and then get from Sybase te jdbc driver jconn2.jar and put the JDBC driver in
to the OMWB\drivers directory.

Hi John,
I don't think that 'CHAR' causes the issue. For example
extract_code CHAR(5 CHAR)
Explicitly tells Oracle that the extract_code is of 5 characters in length, not 5 bytes in length. This helps allot when you have multibyte characters in your database.
The problem is this column definition
spouse_address_mod_date datetimn(8,0) DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL,
Looks like the datatype datetimn was not mapped to its Oracle equivalent.
Actually Im not 100% sure about the datatype datetimn.
Its not listed as a datatype in the Sybase doc.
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.ase_15.0.quickref/html/quickref/quickref1.htm
But it is referenced here as a system type ?
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.dc36274_1251/html/tables/X37714.htm
Maybe you could shed some light on this datatype and its best emulation in Oracle.
for the moment lets assume that it should go to Oracle DATE datatype.
After I made that change the table created successfully.
spouse_address_mod_date date DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL
Ill log a bug about this, but as I said if you have any information of DATETIMN that would be great.
Regards,
Dermot.
PS: why does everyone blame the parser?

DATE format problem, migrating from Sybase to Oracle 9i

Hi,
We are in a process of migrating the database from Sybase to Oracle 9i, everything going fine except the data load of couple of tables.
The workbench created the control file, data & related files to load the data into Oracle using the SQL*LOADER.
But coule of data files having HH:MI:SS:xxx AM in the DATE field, which Oracle is failing while laoding the workbeck created the destination table with the column data type = DATE, so how to insert the milliseconds along the date like Mar 25 2004 12:00:00:000 AM
Thanks

In your control file for SQL*Loader, specify the timestamp with format like "Mon DD yyy hh:mi:ss:ff3AM".
