Converting CT database from little to big-endian

Hi!
We want to migrate our Oracle CorporateTime 5.4 running under Linux/Intel onto a Solaris/SPARC-machine.
Anyone knows where to find the tool unil2bendian so we can convert the database? (CT Server Administrator Guide says we have to contact Steltor...)
Many thanx in advance!

Bonjour,
In order to get the utility, please sent an e-mail to [email protected] We will then be able to open an iTar for you in order to provide you with this utility.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Problem Converting standby database from snapshot to physical

Any help willl be greatly appreciated...
I am trying to convert a standby database that is in "snapshot" mode back to "physical" standby and I am encountering problems in the process from the "DGMGRL" command line.
Both instances are on the same physical machine. Everything was working fine untill I tried to change the db from snapshot to physical. The DGMGRL starts the conversion process and is able to shutdown but when trying to restart the instance is fails and reports that the service is not defined.
Here is the issue I am facing:

Thanks for the response.
So, here is the status now....with a little background...
After my original post, I started to read the manuals and I found the sql command to convert the database back from snapshot to physical standby (sb).
That worked fine and I had my snapshot sb back to physical sb.
So when you posted the suggestion, I already had my db in physical sb mode. I said no problem, I will convert it back to snapshot and then back again using dgmgrl instead of sql+
Well here is how my listener is configured now.
SID_LIST_I11G1 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1.MHOST)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1SB.MHOST)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1SB)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1SB_DGMGRL)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1SB)
Then using dgmgrl I tried to change the db from p-sb to s-sb and the results are not good....

Not sure if the following (notice the typo in the service name) in the parameter (log_archive_dest_2) definition on the standby d/b has anything to do with this. I did not get this error when I initially converted to s-sb.
also I checked all my session notes, I did not type the command to set this parameter on the standby d/b and so it was not a typo on my part. However, it seems to have come from the rman script supplied with the obe. This script is supposed to clone the primary d/b to a standby db and in the process replace the string /i11g1/ with /i11g1sb/.

I am tempted to start all over again, but I'd rather use this opportunity to debug this issue (as a learning exercise). I can always start from scratch. That brings up another Q: What do I need to do to blow away all traces of the stand by database (including all the archive logs etc...) keeping my primary intact. I'd also like to blow away all snapshot and archive logs for the primary as well.

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.

Little- och big-endian problem?

Hi!
I'm writing a program which will run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The program will be used for opening binary files created by a program in Windows.
Because the files are created in Windows i guess they will be created according to the little-endian system. The program that will open them will read them in to the memory as a byte array.
My question is: will there be a problem to get the right information from these files if I open them on a big-endian system? (There are no magic numbers in the binary file which indicates the used endian system)
Lina

I have to admit that I get the meaning of big/little endian confused.
As JosAH says; Big endian means the big end is first,
NOT that the big value is at the end.And I have to admit that I find that whole big/little-endian jargon quite confusing
too, I mean the most significant byte is stored at the lowest address and we
call it big-endian ... If the number is stored 'backwards' we call it little endian.
In the old days when computers were made of wood and ran on steam, we
used to call it 'low-byte-first' and 'high-byte-first'. Sigh ... those were the days ;-)
kind regards,
Jos

How to judge the platform is little or big endian ?

I have a c code, but anybody has a Java code?
Thanks.
#include <stdio.h>
//little-endian or big-endian
bool IsLittleEndian()
int i = 1;
char* p = (char*)&i;
return *p;
int main()
if(IsLittleEndian())
printf("LittleEndian\n");
else
printf("BigEndian\n");
return 0;
}

http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/endianness.asp
I got one, but how to translate into Java code.
Auto detecting the correct Endian format of a data file
Suppose you are developing a Windows application that imports Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra. High resolution NMR files are generally recorded in Silicon or Sun Workstations but recently Windows or Linux based spectrometers are emerging as practical substitutes. It turns out that you will need to know in advance the Endian format of the file to parse correctly all the information. Here are some practical guidelines you can follow to decipher the correct Endianness of a data file:
Typically, the binary file includes a header with the information about the Endian format.
If the header is not present , you can guess the Endian format if you know the native format of the computer from which the file comes from. For instance, if the file was created in a Sun Workstation, the Endian format will most likely be Big-Endian.
If none of the above points apply, the Endian format can be determined by trial and error. For example, if after reading the file assuming one format, the spectrum does not make sense, you will know that you have to use the other format.
If the data points in the file are in floating point format (double), then the _isnan() function can be of some help to determine the Endian format. For example:
double dValue;
FILE* fp;
fread(&nValue, 1, sizeof(double), fp);
bool bByteSwap = _isnan(dValue) ? true : falseNote that this method does only guarantee that the byte swap operation is required if _isnan() returns a nonzero value (TRUE); if it returns 0 (FALSE), then it is not possible to know the correct Endian format without further information.

Cannot Convert standby database from snapshot to physical

Hello all,
I am using Oracle Entreprise version 11gR1 and had made the followings configuration:
- ANAISMD2 : primary database+_+
- ANAISMD3 : physical standby datbase. Created via RMAN
Both are located on the same host running a RH 4.
ANAISMD3 is maintained successfully with the primary.
I can make a fail-over between the both: it works fine.
I can convert ANAISMD3 from physical to snapshot via DGMGRL: it works fine
But I cannot convert back ANAISMD3 to physical, got an error ORA-12514
I had checked also the listener service for both ANAISMD2/ANAISMD3 before launching the conversion:
- the services shown on ANAISMD3 seems correct e.g. ANAISMD2 is seen as a remote server.
- but on ANAISMD2, ANAISMD3 seems incorrect e.g. ANAISMD3 is seen as a local server.
I had attached some screen shots of dg/lsnrctl results;
What are the mistakes
Thank in advance for support
==> Before I made the conversion , DGMGRL shows correct primary/standby status:

You need to have static service registered with listener in this way. This is must because as you know when it converts db that time it shutsdown dbs also so all dynamic services are lost and dgmgrl is not ale to connect to db hence conversion fails.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORACLE_SID)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME=db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps/oracle/product/11.1.0)
Plus with this make a entry in tnsnames.ora using service name from above or check from lsnrctl status look for service "db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain"
e.g. this is my best practice how i give the names to tns entry
db_unique_name_DGMGRL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(SDU = 32767)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = port))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain)
Define same way in both primary and standby db.
Now use these tns entries to create configuration.
e.g.
create configuration prim_db as primary database is db_unique_name connect identifier is "db_unique_name_DGMGRL";
-- db_unique_name_DGMGRL from primary tns entry
add database stdby_db as connect identifier is "db_unique_name_DGMGRL" MAINTAINED AS PHYSICAL;
-- db_unique_name_DGMGRL from standby db tns entry
hope this will help

Migrating GNU dbm databases from SPARC to x86

We're retiring a few of our older SPARC workhorses and moving the processes to x86 VirtualBox OpenSolaris guests. Unfortunately, the primary platform engine uses GNU dbm database files which are big endian on the SPARC. Since these files are heavily loaded and would be tough to restart from scratch, I'm looking for a way to convert the big endian, multi-gigabyte files to little endian so we can simply move then to the x86 platform.
Anyone have a trick up their sleeve?
Thanks
Tim

Thanks - it turns out that one of our Python gurus came up with this same scenario. We dump the tables to text, write them to LTO-3 tape with BRU, restore them onto the x86 system and then re-import them.
Not as clean as I'd hoped, but definitely successful. He'd moved things over by the time we got in this morning (for him, this was an "oh yeah? Well watch this" moment, so he stuck with it til after 2am this morning :-) ).
Thanks.

How do we migrate Hyperion HFM/FDM database from Oracle to MS SQL?

So I have this issue at hand and have ideas that I need to run by people with some expertise. I need to change the databases from Oracle to SQL in a completely new Hyperion installation. I am keeping the version 11.1.2.3 as is. No upgrades.
So I am thinking, Install EPM from scratch into new environment.
Then for HFM just use application copy utility.
For FDM, copy the application file structure and then use SSMA tool to convert the database from Oracle to SQL then configure FDM to new database.
I need to know if there is a better method than these.
Thank you in advance.

HDM - Copy App Utility, DRM - Use the upgrade wizard should work across same version, FDM is more tricky is the no way you can access the original Oracle db from 11.1.2.3, if so then export everything from workbench.

Any need for conversation from big endian and little endian?

Hi,
I am planning to migrate an Oracle 9i Database on AIX 5.3 to Oracle 11g R2 Windows 2008, and have planned to use transportable tablespace. But prior to that task is the conversation required from big endian and little endian using RMAN?
Appreciate any suggestions, comments and hints
Thanks

Hi,
Check V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM, it shows the ending for each supported platform. Given the results on my 11g, I suspect that you'll have to convert the tablespaces...

How do I swap 64-bit and 32-bit floats from little-endian to big-ending

I am trying to read a file that could contain a list of 64-bit floats or 32-bit floats that were written on a PC so they are little-endian.
I need to convert the float values to big-endian so that I can process the values. I know that straight swapping each byte with the adjacent byte doesn't work (especially since their floating point values). I've tried swapping them end for end (i.e., byte 15 from the file becomes byte 0 in my array) and that didn't work either.
I know that if I were to read the little-endian float into the big-endian float type (float or double) that the format is pretty much lost (from little I understand about how floating point values are stored in memory).
So, what I need is a way to read in a series of little-endian floating point values (64-bit and 32-bit) into a big-endian array of floating point values.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Any help would be much appreciated.

A 64-bit double is represented by the sign bit, an 11-bit (biased) exponent
followed by a 52-bit mantissa. Both x86 and SPARC use the exact same
representation for 64-bit double. The only difference is the endianness
when stored to memory, as you observed.
A 32-bit float is represented by the sign bit, an 8-bit (biased) exponent
followed by a 23-bit mantissa. Again, both x86 and SPARC use the exact
same representation for 32-bit float modulo endianness.
As you can see, a 64-bit double is not merely a pair of 32-bit float.
You need to know exactly how the floating-point data was written:
if a 32-bit float was written, you must endian-swap it as a 32-bit float;
if a 64-bit double was written, you must endian-swap it as a 64-bit double.

Big endian, little endian, and converting to another datatype.

Hi all,
I'm working on a sound visualization program. I'm putting the sound into byte arrays, and I then need to convert those bytes into ints to draw onto the screen. This is easy if the soulds are 8-bit, because you don't have the endian issue. How do I take a byte[] and pull ints from it that represent the waveform that the bytes were pulled from? Is it something like this (where soundBytes is the byte[] pulled from a sound file):
int sampleFirstPart = (int)soundBytes[0];
int sampleSecondPart = (int)soundBytes[1];
int putTogether = sampleFirstPart + sampleSecondPart * 128;
That's just a wild guess, and I'm not really sure what order these things should go in. How do you do it if it's big-endian? What about if it's little-endian? Is there a preference of one over the other? Does the fact that I'm working with wav files make a difference.
I'm just full of questions, but any ammount of help you can give is very very much appreciated.
thanks,
Matt

int value = soundBytes[x] + (soundBytes[x+1] << 8); // LE
or
int value = (soundBytes[x] << 8) + soundBytes[x+1]; // BE
I think the LE and BE labels are right, but the calculation part is correct for one or the other.
However, you need to know the format of the file to know if it's one or the other. You can't really tell from the bytes whether it's one or the other. There should, presumably, be some way to know from the audio format header. Either there'd be a flag to incidate which, or it would be assumed one way or the other because it's of format X. I think that wav files would be LE, but don't quote me on that.

From little Endian to big Endian

Hi guys, Is there a function in LabView 2010 to go from little endian to big endian? I want to change for example 'B0011000' to '001001B0'.

What is Little Endian / Big Endian in Sound settings for Apple Intermediate

Hi.
In Final Cut Express, I am trying to splice together multiple video clips, combining footage from:
1) HDV camcorder imported into iMovie 08 as 960 x 540 (the "lower resolution" option from iMovie '08 import), 16-bit @ 48 KHz (Big Endian), 25 FPS
2) AVI files (DiVX 512 x 384, MP3 at 44.1 KHz, 23.98 FPS)
3) Canon Camera "movie" files (Apple OpenDML JPEG 640 x 480, 16-bit Little Endian, Mono @ 44.1 KHz, 30 FPS)
Questions
1) What is this little endian / big endian thing?
2) What is the best codec for me to edit in? My targets are NTSC DVD and also a HD version served via iPod connected to HDTV.
I am not sure what codec to convert everything to, so that I can edit without having to RENDER every time I do something. I tried to export using QuickTime Pro to convert to Apple Intermediate Codec but am not sure about the option for "Little Endian" (I am using an Intel Mac; I assume I do NOT use little endian? Can someone help clarify?)
Many thanks!!!

1. They're compression formats. Different codec use different compression schemes.
2. You should convert your material to QuickTime using the appropriate DV codec and frame rate.
None of your material is HD. Some of it is low resolution, lower than even DV. There is no good way to make this material HD.

Little endian & big endian format system

Hi,
I have code which works fine for Little endian format system, can somebady please tell how to get data from big endian format system.
or is sap has setting where i can turn on and than run my code on that system.
Thanks,
John.

hi

OPEN DATASET dset IN LEGACY TEXT MODE [(BIG|LITTLE) ENDIAN] [CODE PAGE cp]
Effect
Data is read or written in a form which is compatible to BINARY MODE in Releases <= 4.6. This addition is primarily used to convert a file into the code page format specified already when it is opened. At runtime, the system uses the format of the system code page of the application server. The system saves the file then again in the code page specified. This procedure is important if data is exchanged between systems using different code pages. For more information, see READ DATASET and TRANSFER.
Notes
on BIG ENDIAN, LITTLE ENDIAN
These additions specify the byte sequence in which to store numbers (ABAP types I, F, and INT2) in the file.
These additions may only be used in combination with the additions IN LEGACY BINARY MODE and IN LEGACY TEXT MODE. If these are not specified, the system assumes that the byte sequence determined by the hardware of the application server is used in the file.
If the byte sequence specified differs from that determined by the hardware of the application server, READDATASET and TRANSFER make the corresponding conversions.
These additions replace the language element TRANSLATE ... NUMBER FORMAT ... which must not be used in Unicode programs.
on CODE PAGE cp
This addition specifies the code page which is used to represent texts in the file.
This addition may only be used in combination with the additions IN LEGACY BINARY MODE and IN LEGACY TEXT MODE. If this addition is not specified, the system uses the code page defined by the text environment current at the time a READ or TRANSFER command is executed (see SET LOCALE LANGUAGE).
This addition replaces the language element TRANSLATE ... CODE PAGE ... which must not be used in Unicode programs.

Big endian - Little endian conversion

Hi all, I'm a new user!
I'm working with As400 and java using jtopen.
With this code:
PrintObjectTransformedInputStream is = spoolFile.getTransformedInputStream(printParms);
BufferedInputStream bufIn = new BufferedInputStream(is);
BufferedOutputStream bufOut = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:/x.tif"));
int c;
while ((c = bufIn.read()) != -1) {
     bufOut.write(c);
bufIn.close();
bufOut.close();I'm getting a tiff stream and then write it to a file. The tiff stream is in Big endian format, but I need a tiff in Little endian format.
How can I convert the stream from Big endian to Little endian?
Thanks

Tiff is a complex format, containing fields of different lengths, so you aren't likely to succeed just by reversing every pair of bytes in the stream without following the TIF format.
You could look at the JAI (Java Advanced Imaging), which can read and write TIFF files in a variety of modes.
