Convert Q&A database (symantec) to SSIS supported database?

Hi Guys,
What are the possible ways of converting Q&A database (symantec) to SSIS supported database?
Any clue will be of great help
~Technology Analyst~

SSIS can connect to just about any OLE DB data source, including Oracle, FoxPro, even txt and CSV files.
What esactly do you mean by "SSIS Supported" ? Does SSIS just need to connect to it, or does the server need to host SSIS?

Converting single instance database(11gr2) supporting EBS 12.1.3 to 2 node RAC on RHEL.

Hi We are in the process of converting single instance database(11gr2) supporting EBS 12.1.3 to 2 node RAC on RHEL. Which version of RHEL is better? if its 6.x then x?? The oracle document only says RHEL update 6.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes you can use any version but i recommend you to use 6.2

How to convert Oracle charset database

I have a Oracle database which set charset "WE8ISO8859P1". how can I convert to "SJIS" charset that dont need create new database

You can't.
You can successfully convert an Oracle database's charset without database recreation if and only if 1) the original charset is a strict subset of the final charset (the letters in the set) and 2) the codepoints (the numbers that encode the letters) in the original charset don't change in the final charset and 3) all of the data in the database actually is encoded in the original charset (or at least is correctly encoded in the final charset). This is because this type of conversion is accomplished by simply slapping a new charest lable on the database as a whole; none of the binary values in the data get looked at, much less touched. If you "convert" a database and all three are not true, then some or all of your string data becomes complete and utter garbage.
For WE8ISO8859P1 to SJIS, both 1) and 2) are false.
3) becomes an issue because of what Oracle calls an optimization and I call a stupidity; when a database recieves string data from a client that asserts it's using the same charset, nothing checks that the data passed is actually in that charset; thus is it's trivially easy to get 8-bit data in a 7-bit US7ASCII database; it will read and write correctly until the day you try to convert to a superset of US7ASCII, such as UTF8. Then WHAM! Data corruption.
Oracle customers with support contracts can get a lot of documentation about character set conversions from the Metalink support site. Oracle also strongly recommends that customers file a support request for conversions (although someone who reads all the docs and understands character encoding and the NLS settings can muddle through on their own). Oracle also has lot of free documentation about globalization and character sets on the OTN site, which just requires a registration, but I'm not sure the nitty gritty details are there.
For non-subset conversions, the way to do it is to export the data, create a new database and import the data. Conversion to the new encoding will occur on import.
There is a utility, CSSCAN, that can be used to prepare for a conversion. It will scan the database for strings that will have difficulty converting.
Besides the possible issue of data that is outside of the original charset, it will also check for data that will be truncated on conversion. By default, the size specification of a VARCHAR2 in Oracle is the number of bytes; when a character is converted, it may expand the number of bytes that it requires, for example when switching form a 7 or 8 bit encoding to a 16 bit encoding. If enough characters in a value are expanded, the data exceeds the size of the column and is truncated or dropped (I forget). Recent Oracle versions lets you change from having the DB count size in bytes to counting size in characters; I don't yet know if this plays nice with imports with character set conversion (I'll know in a few months).

How to convert oracle 9i database to mysql using JSP?

Dear friends,
I want to convert oracle 9i database to mysql using JSP technology. Does there anyone who have a hint or some web links about this task? I searched the internet and found all of them are not free and no source code. In fact, what I want to do is really simple, I just want to first, reading the oracle database table structure information and then create the exactly same table in mysql, and then copying all the data in oracle database table to mysql table. But I don�t know how to retrieve the oracle table structure using JDBC. And also I want to retrieve all the tables in the oracle database, so I can choose from them to convert to mysql. It seems that the structure in oracle usually have the tablespace information, I don�t know if I can create database in mysql using this tablespace information. And I don�t know where I can find the information about the functions in JDBC? For example, how to retrieve the table structure? Once I retrieve the table structure and create the exactly same table structure in mysql, then I can fetch all the data in oracle table to mysql table.
Any hint will be great appreciated!
Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Hi, beattris and rtg54,
thank you very much for your great help!
beattris, do you know if there is any such kind of tool free? I am a student and don't want to do commercial product, as you see, my work is very simple, in fact, just as you said, the most important of all is how to get the database structure from oracle schema? do you have any idea about this? or do you know any tool that is open source? so I can learn from it.
rtg54, I just want to convert the database from oracle to mysql, after that, I can use mysql database as storage instead of expensive oracle database. the problem is that I have some data stored in oracle database and the application is built on oracle, after the convertion, I can use mysql to provide data to jsp or servlet application. I will great appreciate if you can contact with mysql about this problem because I don't know how to contact with them.
thanks again and happy new year!

How to convert logical standby database to Physical Standby Database

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert logical standby database(10.2.0.3) to Physical Standby Database(10.2.0.3)? Is this possible? If so,please give me steps for it.
Thanks.
Regards,
RJ.

I don't believe this to be possible. One of the steps invloved in the creation of a logical standby is the following:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
This makes the logical standby a different incarnation of the db from the primary.
A physical standby is a binary copy of a primary db, a logical standby is a completely seperate db that just happens to get sql statements applied to it that are generated from a primary db, but is open read/write.
One avenue, though would be if you had flashback database enabled and you flashed back all the way to when the db was a physical standby and then rolled forward with the archived redo logs.
It's somewhat unlikely you are in that situation, but that is a possibility.
Indeed the 11g snapshot standby does this sort of thing:

Hello,
I Have a ActiveX script that was used in a DTS package but I'm currently trying to convert all my DTS packages to SSIS.The script is tasked to run the package on a daily basis. Everything works fine except the ActiveX script. It gives an error on my DTSGlobalVariables.parent,
I looked up this error and changed it to "DTS.Variables("User::VariableName").Value", in
the SSIS script task (in VB) but now I'm getting error:

I have tried to convert this ActiveX script into a SSIS script task in VB but I know hardly any VB... So I'm wondering what the best course of action for me is, should I try to convert it into the script task like I am trying now, if so, how do I make it
work?
Any help would be really really welcome.
This is the original ActiveX script that needs to be converted:
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
Function Main()
Dim sEnvironm
Dim sServer
Dim sSourceFile
Dim sSourcePath
Dim sBackupPath
Dim sErrorPath
Dim sFileName
Dim sUDLPath
' Set vars
' First 2 are depending on the server and db
' FILL IN THE RIGHT VALUES
sEnvironm = "MON_Datamart"
sServer = "BrechtProesmans"
' --- DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ---
sSourceFile = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MON_Datamart\SourceFiles\tbl_L00T1.txt"
sSourcePath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MON_Datamart\SourceFiles\"
sBackupPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MON_Datamart\BackupFiles\"
sErrorPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MON_Datamart\ErrorFiles\"
sFileName = "tbl_L00T1.txt"
sUDLPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MON_Datamart\MON_Datamart.udl"
' Initial
FoundError = False
' Get a handle to the Package object.
Set oPackage = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
' Update DTSConnections
Set oConnection = oPackage.Connections("tbl_L00T1.txt")
oConnection.DataSource = sSourceFile
Set oConnection = oPackage.Connections("Datamart")
oConnection.UDLPath = sUDLPath
Set oConnection = oPackage.Connections("Truncate")
oConnection.UDLPath = sUDLPath
' Update DTSTasks
Set oTask = oPackage.Tasks("DTSTask_DTSDataPumpTask_1").CustomTask
oTask.SourceObjectName = sSourceFile
oTask.DestinationObjectName = sEnvironm & ".dbo.stg_tbl_L00T1"
' Set Global vars
DTSGlobalVariables("SourcePath").Value = sSourceFile
DTSGlobalVariables("BackupPath").Value = sBackupPath
DTSGlobalVariables("ErrorPath").Value = sErrorPath
DTSGlobalVariables("FileName").Value = sFileName
' Clean up.
Set oTask = Nothing
Set oConnection = Nothing
Set oPackage = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

Set a breakpoint and tell us on what line it dies, at the same time, you can inspect the variable values in the Auto window (if there are) as it merely perhaps is an issue with values not being passed in.

Convert Existing MDB database files to SQL Server Express

Hi All,
Can some one please help me on this:
1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
Thanks in Advance, Pls help
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
Besides Bruce’s post, firstly, SQL Server Express is a free SQL Server edition,
you can download SQL Server 2014 Express directly from
this link and install it on your computer. For how to install SQL Server 2014 Express, please follow the steps in this similar
blog.
Secondly, for more information about hardware and software requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014 Express, please review this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx .
Thirdly, SQL Server Express has the following limitations:
• 1 physical processor
• 1 GB of RAM
• 4 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express , 10 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express.
However, there is no limit to the numbers of databases in SQL Server Express. And there is no technical limit to the number of connection that SQL Express can handle.
In addition, there are several methods to convert an Access database to SQL Server, such as using
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access, they are both free tools. For more information about convert an Access database to SQL Server, please review this
KB article.

Convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP tool?

Could anyone kindly let me know what is the procedure to convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP Authoring tool???

So If I understood it correctly there an existing propriertory question bank with SQL server. You are looking at an option to migrate all the tests and questions from the existing system to the LSO system. Right ?
I am still not clear on the xml conversion. Have you guys found a solution which could be achieved through a xml file ?
am not aware of a way through which you could import only a xml file and create tests/questions. If you have a sample xml file then forward me so that I could do some testing on my end.As per my knowledge you could do one of the following. I
1. Create the tests and questions manually in Authoring Environment. It will be a time consuming task. Based on the number of questions you have you might have to assemble a team of content developers to acheive this.
2. Alternatively, you could create a Adobe Flash based assessment. The Flash component would be the front-end and will read from a xml file to display the questions and to drive the funcationality. This would be a easier and less time consuming than creating the assessments manually in authoring environment. However, you might miss out some of the functionality available in the Test Author of Authoring Environment unless you have all the functionality replicated inside Flash. This would require one time effort in creating the Flash template and the xml file structure. Once that is created you could create multiple assessments by just replacing the xml file. If you select this approach then you would have to ensure the data from SQL is converted in the desired xml format required by your Flash component.
Please let me know if you require any further guidance or clarification regarding this.

Ravi Sekhar

Visitor IP banning...SSI supported by .Mac...htaccess support?

Exploring options on excluding specific IPs from accessing my website. I've come across some javascript that requires SSI support and saving to a .shtml file. Before any web experts jump down my throat, I understand that this kind of ban can be circumvented simply by disabling javascript in the browser, but anything is better than nothing. Setting up .htaccess is another option, but it has to be supported on the server side as well.
So I'm wondering if .Mac supports any of this stuff? What do you all think?

I agree, if Apple supported anything "extra", it'd probably be listed in the signup for .Mac or on the member's pages, and I've never seen anything there.

Importing from an Oracle database converted from non-unicode to unicode - SSIS 2012

Hi,
I've some SSIS 2012 pkgs that read from a non-unicode Oracle database to a non-unicode SQL Server database.
Few days later, the Oracle database will be converted to unicode one and so I need to update the SQL database and the SSIS pkgs. Obiously no data conversion transformations are present in the pkgs. I'd like to avoid to add more of these data conversions.
As a first step, I'm trying to convert a SQL table to unicode format, but it isn't possible to convert non-unicode and unicode string data types.
I did not expect to have an error about the conversion from to non-unicode Oracle database (not yet converted) to unicode SQL Server database: a such conversion doesn't lost any information content. For me, it is right to have an error by from unicode to
non-unicode conversion.
Any suggests to solve this issue with a minimum development effort? Many thanks

Nope once you change datatypes to unicode you've to refresh metadata settings within SSIS packages for it to work fine. SSIS doesnt have the ability to do metadata changes at runtime. So someone has to update package metadata information to make them unicode
to make sure it works correctly after the changes.
What you can do is create test dbs in oracle and sql in uncode and create some modified packages based on it. Once you make changes to production dbs you need to move these modified copies also to production after making necessary config value changes like
servername,dbname,folder paths etc and then they will continue to work normally without causing any further downtimes to the customer.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
