Converting server from Big5 to UTF8.

I try to convert oracle 8i server from big5 to UTF8 by using "alter database character set utf8". But it tells me "ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set. Is there any way to enforce this conversion? I understand there will be data conversion problem that I don't care.

Why would you want to do this ? In UTF8 all your 2 byte chinese BIG5 characters will be increased to 3 bytes in length. Basically each character needs to be converted when you migrate your database to UTF8, since their current binary representations are not longer valid.
The ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET doesn't perform any character conversion ,if your operation proceed without the error, then all you chinese data will be lost !

Problem in Database convertion from US7ASCII to UTF8

Hi,
We are facing the following problem while converting the database from US7ASCII to UTF8:
We have recently changed the database character set from US7ASCII to UTF8 for the internationalization
purpose. We ran the Character set scanner utility and it did report that some data may pose problems.
We followed the the below mentioned process to convert into UTF8 -
1) alter database character set utf8
2) alter database national character set utf8.
Now we find some problem while working with the old data in our application which is java based.
We are getting the following error "java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv".
We further analyzed our data and found some interesting things :
e.g.
DB - UTF8.
NL_LANG also set to UTF8.
Select name from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
NAME
Genhve
But when we find out the length of the same data it show like this
NAME LENGTH(NAME) VSIZE(NAME)
Genhve 4 6
The question is why is it showing length as 4 only and when we try to use a substr function
its extracting like the following :-
select name,substr(name,4,1) from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
NAME SUB
Genhve hve
We have execute the above queries on US7ASCII DB and it is working fine, length it shows 6
and using SUBSTR it extracts just 'h' as well.
We also used dump function on the UTF8 Db for the above query,,this is the result :-
select name,length(name),vsize(name),dump(name) from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
NAME LENGTH(NAME) VSIZE(NAME) DUMP(NAME)
Genhve 4 6 Typ=1 Len=6: 71,101,110,232,118,101
We checked a lot with the data and it seems 'h' (accented e) is posing the problem.
We want to know where is the problem and how to overcome this.
Further, we tried all of the following :
1)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: Acute e became h
2)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: IMP 00016 error
3)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: Acute E became h
4)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: Acute e became h
5)
Tried using Update sys.props$
set value$='UTF8'
where name='NLS_CHARACTERSET'
RESULT: Acute e shows properly but it gives problem in the application
"java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv"
Looking further it was observed the following:
when you try this command on a column 'city' in a table which contains 'Genhva' (note the acute e after n), it shows
command: select length(city), vsize(city),substr(city,4,1),city from cities
Result: 4 6 hva Genhva
if you see the value of substr(city,4,1) , you will see the problem. Also note that the length shows 4 and size shows 6. Moreover, when these records are selected through JDBC Driver, it starts giving problems.
6)
Actually the above (point no. 5) is similar to changing the character set of the database with 'ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8'. Same problem is observed then too.
7)
We have also tried to with another method, that is by changing the third byte of the export file which specifies the character set, to the UTF8 code by editing the export file with a Hexdecimal editor. After import the same problem has been observed as defined in (5) and (6) above.
We have no more ideas how to migrate without corrupting the data. Of course we have known the records where these characters occur through the Oracle's cssacn utility but we do not want to manually rectify each and every record by replacing it with an ASCII character. Any other idea as to how this can be accomplised?
Thanx
Ashok

The problem you have is that although your original database is defined as US7ASCII, the data it contains is more than is covered by this code page (as the reply on Sept 4 to the previous posting already said).
This has probably happened because the client was also defined as US7ASCII, and when the DB and client are defined as having the same character set no conversion (or checdking) takes place when data is passed between them. However if you are using a Windows client then it will in fact be using Windows code page 1252 (Latin-1) or similar, and this allows many more characters, including h (accented e). So a user can enter all these characters and store them in the database, and similarly read them from the database, because data transfer is transparent.
When you did ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8 this will only change the label on the database, but not affect the contents. However only part of the contents are valid UTF8, any character above 7F (like h) is invalid. If your original client now uses the database, code page transformation will take place because the client and DB have different character sets defined. The invalid codes can then cause problems.
Without being able to explain what has happened in detail, it may help to see what your h (dec 232, x'E8') looks like. The actual data has not changed (you can see this as it is reported as 232). However the binary code there (11101000) is invalid UTF8. UTF8 encodes a character in 1 to 4 bytes, and the first bits in a UTF8 character tell how many bytes it uses. 0xxx tell it is one byte (same as the corresponding USASCII character), 110x that it uses 2 bytes, 1110 that it uses 3 bytes etc. So if you interpret what is there as UTF8 it looks like the first byte of a 3-byte character, which explains why the substringing is giving you the other 2 bytes as well.
Can you fix this without losing data? I believe yes. First you should check what other characters are being flagged by the scan. See if these are contained in another standard character set. If they are only Western European accentet characters then WE8ISO8859P1 is probably ok, but watch out for the euro sign which Windows has at x'80', an undefined character in ISO8859-1.
You can see the contents of the Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.htm
For a listing of the US-ASCII defined characters see http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso646.html and for ISO 8859-1 see http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html#ISO-8859-1
If all is well, you can first ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET to WE8ISO8859P1. This will not change any data, but ensure that all the data gets exported. Then export the DB and import it to a UTF8 DB. This will convert the non-US-ASCII characters to Unicode. You will also have to change the clients character set to something other than USASCII or they will just see ? for the other characters.
Good Luck!

You can check on the console and ensure the console says that Hardware Virtualization is enabled. If not, check in your BIOS that the processor hardware virtualization is enabled. If you don't have an option, your PC may not have the Intel VT-x or AMD-v extensions required to support hardware virtualization.
You can check to see if your processor supports this extension by using:
Intel processor:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmxAMD processor:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svmIf you see a result, it means the processor has that support. You still need to ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS.

Error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server

Hello,
I am getting following error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server using SSMA.
I get Errors 1-3 while migrating procedures and error 4 while migrating a table.
1- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'SYSDATE' is not supported.
2- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.
3- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.
4- O2SS0486: <Primary key name> constraint is disabled in Oracle and cannot be converted because SQL Server does not support disabling of primary or unique constraint.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

The exact statement in oracle side which causing this error (O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.) is below:
dStartDate:= to_date(sStartDate,'MON-YYYY');
Statement causing error O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported is below.
nCount2:= length(regexp_replace(sDataRow,'[^,]'));
So there is no statement which is using to_date(VARCHAR2,
CHAR) and regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR) in as such. 'MON-YYYY' and '[^,]'
are CHAR values hence SSMA is unable to convert it from varchar2 to char.
Regarding SYSDATE issue, you mean to put below code in target(SQL) side in SSMA ?
dDate date := sysdate;
Thanks.

Convert 10.2.0.4 RDBMS from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8 without install new langua

We are in 11.5.10.2 Ebusiness suite with 10.2.0.4 RDBMS. thinking to take advantage a downtime to convert the darabase character set from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8 right now even we ONLY want to install and configure new language in year or two in the future. I have a lot of questions and hope someone can answer them
1) Is that ok to convert the database character set witout doing anything in the apps side? Not even change any setting in apps?
2) I know Oracle is recommned AL32UTF8 for E-business suite.. but for Rel 12 only. Am I have the right information?
3) I found someone post in one of the Forum in here .. that he use CSSCAN to scan the database but realized it only change the metadata not the user data..... I though CSSCAN is only for scanning to report potential data.. should not change anything in database? I wonder he mean CSaLTER instead.... but only metadata huh??
4) I also read some people use expdp/impdp to perform the character set conversion... but I also read that oracle recommend to use exp/import utility only. Is that right? What is the better method for character set conversion if both of them are valid path?
thanks Fushan

Hi
Apart from Srini inputs, here is my inputs.
*1) Is that ok to convert the database character set without doing anything in the apps side? Not even change any setting in apps?*
No issues to convert without adding new language in EBS.
*2) I know Oracle is recommend AL32UTF8 for E-business suite.. but for Rel 12 only. Am I have the right information?*
Please note that AL32UTF8 is not certified for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i.

Convert a Mac Pro Server from January 2007 with OS 10.4 Server to Snow Leopard 6.0 (NON SERVER)

I have a Mac Pro Server from January 2007 with OS 10.4 Server installed. I want to convert from OS 10 Server OS to just using Snow Leopard 6.0 (NON SERVER). I have two hard drives installed. What is the best way to do this?
Can I just install Snow Leopard NON-SERVER on the second drive, then switch it into the place of the original main drive?
Can I switch the drives, then install the Snow Leopard on the replacement drive?

Not sure how you configured the server, though you can install snow leopard on second HDD and select boot drive with pressing "option" key during startup.

Convert NLS_CHARACTERSET 9i RAC DB from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8

Hi,
Currently my database has
NLS_CHARACTERSET=WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=AL16UTF16
However, developers request to change NLS_CHARACTERSET to be UTF8 because new source of one of new data marts is UTF8. Currently there is issue with displaying only few records. For conversion, I need to recreate a new database which is what I'm trying to avoid.
My quesitons are
1. Since Unicode data stored in few columns in few tables in this new datamart only, can they take advantage of NCHAR and NVARCHAR instead?
2. If converted to UTF8, what is the drawback of storing all data in database in Unicode?
3. Is AL32UTF8 better (and superset) than UTF8?
Thanks

Generally, you won't be able to convert the existing database to UTF8 since UTF8 isn't a strict binary superset of the existing ISO 8859-1 character set. You would probably have to create a new database and export & import the data over. If there are special circumstances, you may have some other options, but it will involve quite a bit of administration.
Working with NCHAR columns tends to be a bit more complex from an application development perspective (though this complexity differs depending on the front end used). Depending on the language of most of the data, there are probably space implications of UTF16 vs UTF8. UTF16 is a fixed width character set, so every character occupies two bytes of storage. UTF8 is a variable width character set, so English characters will tend to be 1 byte, European characters will tend to be 2 bytes, and Asian characters will tend to be 3 bytes.

Convert from utf16 to utf8 ?? er?

Dear list,
I have recently seen a sample to convert a utf16 string to utf8. I am a little bit confused. I thought utf16 was a superset of utf8. Could please someone explain why this is necessary sometimes ?
regards
Ben

how can utf16 be a superset of utf8. I thought this
relationship was similiar to ASCII and utf8/utf16,
where for example the space bar has a value of 32 in
ASCII and Unicode (utf8 and utf16).... This been tjhe
case there is not much need for a utf8 to utf16
conversion program.I didn't say it was a superset. It is a different way of representing the same thing.
>
You say that utf16 is ALWAYS 2 bytes, and utf8 is
usually 8 bits but is variable when necessary. Is
utf16 not a variable byte character set ? No.
The name
according to this, utf8 and utf16 is somewhat
misleading as they are NOT always 8 or 16 bytes.
And "java" is neither an island nor a beverage. The name does not convey the entirety of the subject.
characters the first byte (or 2) is an 'escape' bytewhich means that more bytes are needed.
What do you mean by first or (2). escape byte?
When something sees a given specific byte then then it knows that there are a certain number of bytes after that are needed to fully represent the character.
I am still not convincedConvinced?
If you do not find my explaination satisfactory then you might try writing some code that converts to UTF16 and UTF8 using String.getBytes(String).
You might also try to find the character set definitions.

Converted internalServerReporting from .php to .cfm

I posted this on the general discussion forum but it doesn't seem to be getting any looks....
Hi
I recently converted the internalServerReporting.php file to .cfm, since I'm not yet using a LMS and I just needed to capture quiz results.
I'm writing the results of my Captivate 7 quiz to a .txt file successfully (an insert query too). My Captivate 7 quiz completes and immediately after the user fills out and clicks the Send button in the Post Results dialog box (where they enter their name and email id) I get an Adobe Captivate error message in a dialog box with "Unknown Error" and an OK button.
I think this is a Captivate error and not a Coldfusion error, as my Coldfusion "internalServerReporting.cfm" writes the text file as expected, and the Coldfusion server error logs are empty. Does anyone know how I can turn on/enable any available debugging data in Captivate so that I can trap this error?
For your convenience my .cfm file is pasted below.
Thanks in advance for your help,

...jeez, what a rookie mistake....
I did some debugging and found this reported error in my browser (Chrome):
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://127.0.0.1:8503/captivate/internalServerReporting.cfm. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.
From my years of web development I immediately recognized this error; it's a cross domain issue. But, I'm running everything localhost, what's not in the same dom.... Oh yeah, right after publishing the Captivate movie a dialog box appears "Publish was successful. Do you wish to view the output?" Naturally I clicked yes, which opened the .html file locally in my browser (as in File:Open) and NOT served from the web server (as in http://127.0.0.1/myCaptivateTest/).
As soon as I ran my Captivate test movie from the web server everything ran just fine.
Thanks for your help and patience. This script officially now works, so if anyone needs to record Captivate test/quiz results on a Coldfusion server, feel free to copy the above Coldfusion code into your own "internalServerReporting.cfm" and tell Captivate in your preferences where to expect it on your Coldfusion server.

Opening a text file in server from an applet running in the client

Friends,
I want to open a text file in the server(The server machine uses tomcat 4.1.12 server)from an applet running in the client machine;
The applet invokes a servlet that opens the text file;this text file is opened in the server machine; but I want it to be opened in the client machine where the applet is running.
Plese help me to get around this.

You can open the textfile on the servlet and then send the information to the client (applet) as stirngs. The must then applet convert the stirngs into some object or simply display the information in someway. But then the text file that you are opening must be stored in some relevant tomcat directory e.g. on the server. If you want to open a file on the clients computer, you get into signed applets.

Clarification on Character set migration from US7ASCII to UTF8

Hi,
I need clarification on the below.
I need to migrate the database from US7ASCII to UTF8.
For this I ran csscan for user "TEST" as well as against full database.
Below log is the csscan output against full database. but my application is depended on TEST schema only. Shall I need to migrate SYS objects data as shown below or it's not required?. If required how to migrate these objects data?
Looking forward you help.
USER.TABLE Convertible Exceptional
SYS.METASTYLESHEET 58 TEST.Table_1 9 0
TEST.Table_2 11 0
TEST.Table_3 17 0
TEST.Table_4 11 0
[Distribution of Convertible Data per Column]
USER.TABLE|COLUMN Convertible Exceptional
SYS.METASTYLESHEET|STYLESHEET 58 0
Thanks,
Sankar

I think you need to migrate all schemas data not only one application schema because
the database character set is common to all CHAR, VARCHAR2, LONG and CLOB colums
for any tables in any schema.
In your case (US7ASCII to UTF8), you need to use export/import because:
Another restriction of the ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET statement is that it can be used only when the character set migration is between two single-byte character sets or between two multibyte character sets. If the planned character set migration is from a single-byte character set to a multibyte character set, then use the Export and Import utilities.

Two Spaces being converted to from ascii 32,32 to ascii 160,32

Two Spaces being converted to from ascii 32,32 to ascii 160,32 when the page is
loaded by the browser.
This problem is exhibited when viewing an address page in personal data that contains
two spaces in the address field. i.e.. APT102- 102 Elm St.
We put debug traces in to display the ascii character values of the spaces before
and after the record is brought up. This debug showed that the two spaces change
from
Before: space,space or ASCII(32),ASCII(32)
After: ASCII(160) ASCII(32)
This is causing the application to display a record change warning. This occurs
on IE 5.5, 6.0, Netscape 6, but DOES NOT occur using the Opera 6 browser. For
what it's worth, the database is Non-unicode.

Convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011

Hello,
need to convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011. have gone through Imap procedure and am tired of transferring mails manually coz there are thousands of'em. can anyone suggest any simple solution to this problem?
thanks.

Create a IMAP account (GMAIL icloud etc.)
add account to Apple mail and Outlook 2011
Drag emails into a folder on the imap server and then go back to Outlook 2011 and drag the emails from the imap into your email. and your done all your emails
are there.
There are third party tools available now-a-days for this kind of problems and they are pretty useful. You have just to select the files from the apple mail
that you want to convert and your mails are transferred within no time.
