Converting a Database from Windows 2003 Server to HP-UX Itanium

Hi
I have to convert a database Oracle11g (11.1.0.6.0) from Windows 2003 Server to HP-UX Itanium. Both installation are in the same version. I know there are methods to convert it with RMAN ( Restore/Recover converting the database files ) or with transportable tablespaces. Can you give advices or comment me your experiencies on it ?.
Thanks

The RMAN's convert command is going to be needed if the endian format of both the o/s is not same. I didn't check this so please check that whether the source and target are on the same endian or not. If not, you must use the RMAN. If yes, then using transport tablespace would do the job.

Steps to move application DB( MSSql) from windows 2003 server to windows 2008 server.

Hi All,
I am new to DB. We need to move application's MSSQL DB(Currently used DB version is Microsoft SQL server 2008 R2)from windows server 2003 to windows
2008.
Please advice steps to accomplish this task. How to make sure DB moved without any errors?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
As mentioned by Visakh, a side-by-side upgrade can be performed by using backup/restore and detach/attach methods.
Additionally, you can transfer logins from
one SQL Server instance to the other by using the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/918992
The following article may be useful about transferring not only the databases, but jobs, DTS, alerts, operators.
Consider scripting any existing linked server.
Hope this helps.

Moving oracle 9i database from windows 2000 to windows 2003 server

hi everybody,
plz provide me a solution how to move oracle 9i database from windows 2000 server to windows 2003 server with step by step and also with commands plz as i am very new to oracle
thanks in advance
suresh

Install 9i on windows 2003 server and patch to the same level as the Oracle on Windows 2k
Shutdown and make a cold backup of your old database. That includes datafiles, controlfiles, redo files, init file (spfile)
Copy and put these files to the exact same directory structure/location, for example if old file is under D:\oradata\mysid\ then the file on new file should be under same directory. (If you are using Network Storage that make things easier, just mapping to the same drive letter.)
Also make sure archive log dest and all dump dest directories are created. You don't have to copy all old logs and dump files over.
Use oradim to create a new service for the database instance
http://www.psoug.org/reference/oradim.html
Set proper ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID envionment varibles
Run netca to configure listener, actually copy listener.ora and tnsnames.ora to $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin will do
Try to start the database

Restore Exchange 2007 SP3 to Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 2003

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I had Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on a Windows 2003 Server, and I've used "setup /mode:recoverserver" to restore it to a Windows 2008 R2 server... how do I restore the databases which I backed up with the Windows backup tool
on 2003?
I installed KB974674, the restore tool onto the 2008 R2 server but when I try and restore the backup it comes up with "this feature is no longer supported". Something I'm missing here?

These things marked as answers are not answers.
I have now thoroughly tested using setup /mode:recoverserver and it works fine going from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, done several installations now without a problem.
"Setup /m:RecoverServer cannot be used across operating systems. A server that was originally running Windows Server 2003 can be recovered only on Windows Server 2003, and a server that was originally running Windows Server 2008 can
be recovered only on Windows Server 2008."
This appears to be wrong, unless someone can tell me why it's right (I haven't tried moving Unified Messaging yet). I've done it to 2008 R2 several times now and also in the other direction, from 2008 R2 to 2003, I can't find anything that didn't work
afterward, although I haven't really thoroughly tested OWA yet, I admit (but it does appear to be working).
I think that documentation is out-of-date as it doesn't mention R2 plus I think it was written before SP3 came out and that paragraph is just wrong.
Basically how I do it is like this:
Dismount databases from the 2003 server and copy the storage group folders to a network location or removable media.
Install the Windows 2008 R2 server using the same machine account that was being used by the 2003 server. Install the prerequisites needed for Exchange 2007 SP3 installation on 2008 R2 (note in addition to the IIS components and RPC over HTTP this
also requires the AD tools in RSAT, which I haven't found mentioned in technical documentation). Install the relevant windows updates.
Install Exchange 2007 SP3 using setup /mode:recoverserver Install the update rollup.
Copy the storage groups into the relevant folders on the new server and mount them. Migrate any relevant certificates (e.g. for ActiveSync).
Obviously then check it all over with the diagnostic tools and check it with EXBPA. The backups are obviously totally different, but really I think you should be using DPM anyway.
To me that was pretty easy to do, to be honest. About 1.5 on a scale of one to ten. Basically install it, recover it, copy over some files and mount them.
Seriously on a halfway decent server I've done it in under an hour.

Space Problem in G: - after NW2004s SR1 installation on Windows 2003 server

HI Friends,
I have installed NW2004s SR1 on Windows 2003 server with Oracle 10g database successfully. My server has sufficient harddisk space as follows.
C: 9.6GB
G: 24GB
H:64GB & I: 73GB.
RAM is 6GB
While installing NW2004s i have defined a paging size on C: 400MB-1600MB and
i have set the option as System Manageble on other drives G, H& I drives. I did not get any Swap space problem while installing.
During installation I have chosen G: drive to store MirrorlogA, MirrorlogB, Oraarch, OriglogA, OriglogB folders of Oracle for redolog archives,.Total size of all these folders is 17.4 GB
G: drive has one more folder Program files which is of 155KB and no other files exist in it.
But My system says that I am running out of Space on G: drive and free space available now is only 44MB.
My question is where has the rest 5GB of space gone? Is it consumed as a part of Paging file which i have set on this drive as System manageble??
I have set the same option on other drives too i..e H & I. But i am not facing any space issues for these drives.
What could be going wrong?? Please suggest me how to correct this
Thanks

The old allowing oracle 3GB virtual memory on windows 2003 server question?

Hi all,
I have a 9.2.0.7.0 database on windows 2003 server (32bit). 4 dual core cpu's and 16GB of Ram.
I have set .use_indirect_data_buffers=TRUE and *._enable_NUMA_optimization=FALSE.
The db_block_buffers is set at 4GB.
Shared_pool 200MB
Large_pool 56MB
Java pool 56MB
PGA is currently at 400MB
AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set at 720MB (which is the lowest I can set it)
At the moment there are various jobs running on the database and no users logged on and the virtual memory is at 1.8GB.
The problem is as soon as the users logs onto the DB the virtual memory goes over 2GB and we see the error 'ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2416 bytes'.
Now I have edited the boot.ini with the following parameters:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="UBS WSP - Wintel Server Platform with PAE" /fastdetect /PAE /4GT
because the /3GB parameter switch started the server with lots of errors.
The oracle.exe process still seems unable to go over the 2GB limit with getting 'ORA-04030' errors.
Can someone tell me if I have missed anything? Or a reason why oracle is not using the switch?
TIA
Eddy

Satish,
see metalink Note:1036312.6 : Utilizing Up to 3GB Virtual Memory on Windows.
it says :
"The 32-bit versions of the Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, operating systems were the first versions of Windows to provide applications with a 3-GB flat virtual address space, with the kernel and executive components using only 1 GB. In response to customer requests, Microsoft has expanded the availability of this support to the 32-bit version of Windows XP Professional and all 32-bit versions of Windows Server™ 2003."
of course, we mustn't be mistaken with the AWE switch (/PAE) that is not available for standard edition.

SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

How do I rename an XE database on a Windows 2003 Server?

Ok. I'm attempting to rename a freshly installed XE database on a Windows 2003 Server. It looks like there is no getting around the fact that the database gets named "XE" during installation. Because there could potentially be multiple installations of XE in my organization, I thought it'd be a good idea to disambiguate the installations by renaming them to match their function. In this particular case, I'd like to rename the database to "CTXMGMT". It will be a data repository for our Citrix farm administration programs.
Here is what I've performed thus far:
1. Installed Oracle 10g XE on one of our Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition machines.
2. Verified that the installation was performed correctly by making sure the 'Database Home Page' loads correctly through Internet Explorer, and by performing a few Select statements on the database (i.e. select name from v$database;)
* * I then began following instructions from this document (http://www.utexas.edu/its/unix/reference/oracledocs/v92/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch14.htm#1004735) to rename the database. Note: I'm only trying to change the name of the database, not the ID.
3. Shutdown the database
4. Opened the database in MOUNT mode
5. Ran the NID utility. Here's the actual input/output to/from the NID utility:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>nid target=sys/manager@xe DBNAME=CTXMGMT SETNAME=YES
DBNEWID: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Jul 10 15:55:10 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to database XE (DBID=2476560070)
Connected to server version 10.2.0
Control Files in database:
C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF
Change database name of database XE to CTXMGMT? (Y/[N]) => Y
Proceeding with operation
Changing database name from XE to CTXMGMT
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - modified
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\SYSTEM.DBF - wrote new name
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\UNDO.DBF - wrote new name

Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\USERS.DBF - wrote new name
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF - wrote new name
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - wrote new name
Instance shut down
Database name changed to CTXMGMT.
Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.
Succesfully changed database name.
DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.
6. After running the NID utility from a separate DOS Window, I attempt to shutdown the newly renamed database from the first DOS Window I used in steps 3 & 4 from above (i.e. to shutdown the database and then start it in MOUNT mode) but I receive this error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
This is somewhat expected since the SQL*Plus connection in this window probably had "the bottom pulled out from under it" when the database was renamed.
However at this point I'm unsure about what state the database is in. Is it down? Is it up? Logic would sort of dictate that the database was left in the MOUNT state, which is the state it was in when the database name was changed. However, the only way I'm able to get back in to the database is by doing the following
a. Opened a new DOS window
b. entered "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server"
c. entered "set ORACLE_SID=XE"
d. entered " sqlplus "/ as sysdba" "
e. at SQL> prompt, entered "startup"... which produces:
SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.

Database Buffers 188743680 bytes
Redo Buffers 2904064 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'CTXMGMT' in control file is not 'XE'
SQL>
From here I don't know what to do. According to the ORA-01103 error message, it looks like I need to change the database name in the control file to "CTXMGMT", but I'm not sure how I should go about that. The control file is a binary file, so I can't just open it up with Notepad and type in a new database name.
I suspect that even once that is done that the listener.ora (and maybe the tnsnames.ora file?) will have to be edited to include the new "CTXMGMT" name, but I'm not sure how exactly those files should look to incorporate the new database name.
Also, would the names of services have to be changed in Windows as well? (i.e. Would the Windows service named "OracleServiceXE" have to be renamed to "OracleServiceCTXMGMT" ?)
In short, I really just need to know how to rename an XE database on Windows appropriately. The steps described above represent as far as I've gotten. If I'm going about it incorrectly could someone shed some light on the correct steps to follow? The more detailed the better. Thanks.
- Gary

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

Very long search times from an IMac running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard when searching for files on a windows 2003 server

The issue is as follows:
The Imac is connected to the windows 2003 server via SMB type connection.
There are four sub folders in the main directory. We go to one of the sub folders in this case Server.
We go to search window and type the file name that we want to search such as test .
The choices selected for search parameters are Server for location and contains (same results if picked by file name)
Search takes roughly 6 minutes before it returns the result.
If we do the same search on the old Mac Server it will take 15 seconds to complete using same search parameters.
Any ideas on how to speed up search times to the Windows 2003 Server? I have tried going to finder preferences and removing the sharing section. That did not help.

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database

Oracle 10g Universe Connectivity From 64bit Windows 2003 Server

Hi,
Have an existing BO XI 3.1 environment built on a 64 bit Windows 2003 server and
I'm having problems getting it to communicate with Oracle 10g universes. Works fine
with its SQL Server 2005 repository and SQL Server 2005 relational/olap universes, but
cant seem to get it to work with Oracle.
Universes work fine on the 32 bit development environment talking to the same Oracle
database, but when move them to 64 bit testing environment they all fail with
Oracle ora-12154 errors.
32 bit Oracle client is installed and can communicate fine with other products using ODBC
connections from the server - but BO refuses to communicate.
Any ideas other than reinstalling BO under 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files (x86)'
as I've seen some references on the web about this possibly being a problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
Oracle 32 bit and 64 bit connectivity work fine from the server. The problem seems to
relate to bug 3807408 in Oracle 10g that cant handle parentheses in directory names.
So BO being installed in u2018C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objectsu2019 causes it to get
rather annoyed.
SAP Note 1202730 does cover this, but our DBA's aren't too keen on installing the
suggested patch. I'm also not very keen on reinstalling BO in a different directory as
we've got working production sites that would have to be rebuilt.
So now investigating whether using the Oracle 11g client will resolve this.
MSDN forum topic http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/ab662d63-6385-4f73-b27f-d526048f601f/ gives a pretty good overview of what people have been trying to resolve this.
