Copy from running database-servers

I have a system with several oracle database servers (different versions). Four of the servers make a replication among themselves (multimaster).
Now a new database server is to be "developed", which stores the data of all the old servers redundantly. All servers run on Linux.
I'm looking for a way (best with oracle standard tools / features), how to copy the data to the new server, without having to stop the old databases.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance

see, if you can build a physical or logical standby database (managed).

Xmltype data can't be copied from remote database

Hi,
I got the following same error when copy table with xmltype from different env:
table localXML(xml xmltype);
insert into localXML select * from remoteXML@romote;
1. run from db tools:
... Physical database connection acquired for: local
12:07:41 [INSERT - 0 row(s), 0.000 secs] [Error Code: 22992, SQL State: 99999] ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
... 1 statement(s) executed, 0 row(s) affected, exec/fetch time: 0.000/0.000 sec [0 successful, 0 warnings, 1 errors]
2. run from sqlplus
ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
The above script runs well if two tables are in same database.
Did any one have solution on this?
Thanks.
John

The standard workaround for this one is to create a synonym or such on the be called object and then do the insert selecting via the synonym. Search google for ORA-22992 and "asktom" and see if this workaround for LOB's also works for xmltype (CLOB) columns/tables.
What's your database version and how was the remoteXML table created (DDL) ???

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

How to copy a set of tables from a database to another periodically?

We have a 4 node RAC primary database(10.2.0.2) with a physical standby(10.2.0.2) on our production site. Offlate we noticed that one of the applications(APP2) is causing heavy loads due large data downloads on the primary database servers. Our primary database has 2 schemas,
1) one being the main schema with all objects, (USER1)
2) and the other has views that query some set of tables from the main schema. (USER2)
The application APP2 uses USER2 views to query and download huge data periodically. We need to be able to give accurate data results to APP2, but in the same time take off the load from the database, as APP2 is not our main application.
We would like to know if there are any cost effective options in oracle to do this, and if so, what is the best option? Anyone has any experience setting up something like this before?
We have thought of creating another 10.2.0.2 database on a different server and giving it regular updates(like data feeds) from the current database. The current database data changes quiet often, so the data feeds would have to be done often to keep the data current on the new database. So, we are not exactly sure how to go about it. Would a COPY command help?
Please advice.

Our 4 node RAC is already busy with our main application, which has its connections spread across all 4 nodes.
Our main applications services are the same on all nodes and use all 4 nodes in the same way.
There are some other utilities that we run from one of the app servers that connect to only 1 of the nodes.
APP2 uses all 4 servers, which is again controlled by connection pooling and distributes the load.Wouldn't separate services be more beneficial here? If APP2 is locked down to one node during normal operation, that ensures that other connections aren't going to be competing for hardware with APP2 on 3 of the 4 nodes. If APP2 is generating less than 25% of the total load, you can let the other applications use whatever hardware resources are left idle on the node APP2 is locked down to.
By Large data downloads, I meant both increase in network traffic and the CPU load on the database nodes.
We are already using resouce manager to limit the resources allocated to USER2 that APP2 uses.
And we have also limited the large downloads to take place in the early hours of the day when the traffic from our main application is less.
But this has still not been optimal for the usage requirements for APP2. APP2 is also doing queries all through the day, but has a limit for the number of rows downloaded during peak hours.Can you explain a bit more about why using Resource Manager hasn't been sufficient? That's normally a pretty good way to prevent one hungry user from drastically affecting everyone else. Perhaps you just need to tweak the configuration here.
Logical Standby seems a good option. But we need to keep our physical standby in place. Is it possible to have a logical standby and a physical standby? (ofcourse on separate servers)Sure. You can have as many standby servers of whatever type you'd like.
Could we use a COPY command to copy data for the set of tables to a new database? Or is that also a complex option?You could, yes. COPY is a SQL*Plus command that has been depricated for copying data between Oracle databases for quite a while. It only works from SQL*Plus and would only be designed for one-time operations (i.e. there is no incremental COPY command). I can just about guarantee that's not what you want here.
How do materialized views work? Wouldn't they still reside on the main database? Or is it possible to have remote materialized views?You probably don't want materialized views, but if you decide to go down that path
- You'd create materialized view logs on the base tables to track changes
- You'd create materialized views on the destination database that select data over a database link back to the source database
- You'd put those materialized views into one or more refresh groups that are scheduled to refresh periodically
- During a refresh, assuming incremental refreshes, the materialized view logs would be read and applied to the materialized views on the destination system to update the materialized views.

How to Copy (or) Transfer data in a BLOB Table From one database to another

Dear Members,
I want to Copy or Tranfer the data in a Table having BLOB Column from one database to another database.
The Problem is that I am using COPY Command.
COPY from scott/[email protected] to k5esk_ldb2/k5esk_ldb2@k5_ist.world CREATE BLOB_TABLE using select * from BLOB_TABLE;
This is working only if the table is not having BLOB Column or CLOB columns.
Is there any other way to do the same.
Appreciate any Help.
Regards
Madhu K

You could try using export/import utilities, but may run into tablespace issues if the tablespaces are not the same between the two databases. You can also try Data Pump using the REMAP_TABLESPACE variable if you tablespaces are different. You could also write your own export and import code...there are plenty of examples of that to copy.

In PL-SQL copy a table from one database to another

I am currently working on a VB app where I need a way to archive tables from the running database to an archive database. I was hoping to do this with a stored procedure. Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

AFAIAA there is no equivalent of the SQL*Plus copy command, but it is realtively simple to build such a thing in PL/SQL using DBMS_SQL or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to issue the necesssary INSERT INTO table@archive_db select * from table;It's simple to create the table in the archive db , you just test for it's exist using %SQLFOUND.
If you want it fancier, eg. changing the tablename dynamically that's also easy.

Remove mailbox database copy from DAG

Hi There,
We would like to remove the mailbox database copy from our exchange server as we are lack of the space on our fixed vhd and we hope to be able to free about 100GB from the passive database copies as we have deployed DAG. is there any guidelines or procedures
to safely remove the database copies? currently, we have 4 mailbox servers, HQMB01, HQMB02, SSMB01, and SSMB02. HQMB01 and HQMB02 is already part of DAG members by itself. however, on ssmb01 and ssmb02, we also add in HQMB01 and HQMB02 as the DAG member,
thus they can fail over to HQMB01 or HQMB02 if their server have issue. in this situation, SSMB01 and SSMB02 passive copies is also inside our HQMB01 and HQMB02. As the our HQMB01 and HQMB02 is lack of the disk space and we would like to remove SSMB01
and SSMB02 from the DAG, thus we could remove the passive database copies. The following is the picture of the activation preference for all servers. what is the procedures and the guidelines to remove mailbox database copy and also remove the server from
the DAG members? we are quite confuse and worry that after we are removing wrongly and cause the active database to lost as we understand that there is replication happening between them. as we have 4 mailbox servers from which server we should perform
the task? Wish to get some advises from the exchange guru from this forum. we are on exchange server 2010 sp1 and windows server 2008 R2.Thanks so much.

Hi Exchange Guru,
thanks so much for the prompt response..i have few queries to ask following your guidelines above:
1. from the show result above, I am still confuse which server that I should go to remove as this is involving 4 database copies. from what I understand from the truncation or replay lag times of SSDB01 and SSDB02, I can see that HQMB01 and HQMB02 are on
the third and fourth preference, which means that SSDB01 and SSDB02 will be able to failover to each of them when there is a failure and it cause the passive copies of both of SSDB01 and SSDB02 to be stored in the HQMB01 and HQMB02. what my purpose
is to remove both SSDB01 and SSDB02 passive copies in HQMB01 and HQMB02. in this case, should I login to SSDB01 or SSDB02 mailbox servers to perform the removal with your guidelines above?
2. is the command as below:
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01HQMB02 -Confirm:$False
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB02 -Confirm:$False
will this cause the risk either of my HQDB01, HQDB02, SSDB01, and SSDB02 active copies accidentally being removed? I am sorry that I am a bit naggy and always want a confirmation as this is very critical and I must be super careful.
3. If after the removal successful, when is the best time to go to the drive where the passive copies stored and remove them so I can clear some space on my disk? and is it just as simple by going to the drive and do a folder file deletion manually?
because I just worry when I delete the file and the server is still replicating between each other, which will cause even corruption to the active database.
4. From point 3, you mention about when the server is empty. what do you mean by that? do you mean that when the passive copies are no more there? and what command that I used to check?
5. From point 4, is removing the server from DAG the last step to be performed? yes, I want to remove them from DAG, thus will left only HQMB01 and HQMB02 as one DAG and SSMB01 and SSMB02 as one DAG.
Thank so so much for your patient and attention.

Henry

Hi,
select * into A1 from RDOC where Author !='System'
select * into A2 from RITM where Doccode in (select Doccode from A1 )
select * from A1
select * from A2
sp_generate_inserts 'A1'
sp_generate_inserts 'A2'
you will get Insert scripts of A1 and A2 tables .After that You 'll Replace A1 to RDOC and A2 to RITM.
So that you can RUN this SQL srcipts any where (In any Database)

SWL Database copy from 2005 to 2008

Hello,
I'm moving my ECC6.0 from a SQL2005 based system to a new cluster running Windows2008 and SQL 2008. I already copied the system using the modified NW70 master installation DVD with using option
               -> Software Life-Cycle Options
                  -> System copy
                    ->MS SQL Server
                      -> Target System Installation
                         -> High-Availability System
                         -> Based on AS ABAP
After tunning and testing my system in the last days, I plan to go live next weekend. I will backup my PRD database and restore it in the new system. Then I will put it in production.
My question is: After restoring the database, how do I complete the system copy? Using "Sap tools for SQL server" as described in OSS note 683447, or using the sapinst in the modified NW70 master installation DVD using option
               -> Software Life-Cycle Options
                  -> System copy
                    ->MS SQL Server
                      -> Target System Installation
                         -> High-Availability System
                         -> Based on AS ABAP
                                                                                -> Database Instance
MNy source is a 2005 cluster, and my destination is a 2008 cluster.
Thank you
Best regards
Paulo

Hello Paulo
Sorry for the late reply!
This Note 683447 - SAP Tools for MS SQL Server is not relevant with the Basis 7 as you inquired about the SAP Tools.
This applies only to SAP basis versions 6.40 or earlier.
You have successfully installed the Clustered which need to restore the data from the old cluster without any repeating the installation steps.
As i disscused above that if you have DB and SAP has same instances then you can restore the data to the newly server.
If not then you have to use the System copy option with database dependent to prepare your cluster again!

BW System copy from PRD to DEV - Reduce database size

Hi All
We are in the process of copying our existing Production BW system (3.5) to become a new Development & test system. We want to reduce the database size significantly from 1.4 Tb to about 150 - 200 Gb. We have deleted all cube and ODS data as well as much of the master data but still have much tablespace tied up in monitor entries (eg table RSMONMESS) and IDOCs. All of the notes I read say that we cannot delete from RSMONMESS in a "Prodcution" environment, however we are creating a new DEV system and really need to get rid of monitor entries anyway. So there are two questions:
1. Any idea how we can clear up table RSMONMESS or delete unwanted monitor entries ?
2. How can we delete IDOCs copied from our production system without archiving them ? (They are of no use in our new test system.)
Please help.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Paul,
See SAP Note 694895 - Performance and tables RSMON, RSDONE
Note Language: English Version: 5 Validity: Valid Since 29.11.2005
Summary
Symptom
Tables RSMON* (for example, table RSMONMESS) and tables RS*DONE (for
example, table RSSELDONE) continuously increase in size in the BW system
with each request that is created.
Currently there is no option to reduce these tables.
Do not delete any entries from these tables. If you did, this would have
the following consequences:
When you carry out the next check for the requests for which you have
deleted records from these tables, the check will not run properly.
The status of the relevant requests turns RED in the monitor, and also in
all affected data targets that contain the request.
The affected request and all subsequent requests are no longer visible in
the reporting - all queries on the affected data targets then only display
old data.
Numerous dumps will occur in various situations.
You will not be able to repair the errors caused by the deletion.
More Terms
RSMONMESS; RSSELDONE; Performance; RSMON; RSDONE;
Cause and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
In the next BW release (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s - that is BW 7.0), you
will be able to archive entries from the RSMON* and RS*DONE tables using a
request archiving process that archives the administrative information for
requests.
After archiving, these tables are then considerably reduced in size.
Until then, there is unfortunately no option for reducing the tables.
Rgds,
Colum

Simple: How to copy a Table from one Database to another?

I already know how to do it by creating an identical table and then inserting the Data.
Like so:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dByDtMinusC5 ON
INSERT INTO [DB1]..T1 ([Id], [HbyD] , [K] )
SELECT [Id], [[HbyD]]] ,[K] FROM [DB2]..T2
As you can see I need to have T1 in order to copy T2 into DB1. Is there any way that I could auto create T1 and copy T2?
There are so many forums in sql server Category, I hope I posted in the right one :0 . We need tag system for forums.

Hi Bhupinder,
According to your description, you want to copy a table with Primary keys from one database to another database.
As per my understanding, I think the best method is use Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SQL Server Integration Services. The Transfer SQL Server Objects task transfers one or more types of objects in a SQL Server database between instances of SQL Server.
Server roles, roles, and users from the specified database can be copied, as well as the permissions for the transferred objects. Indexes, Triggers, Full-text indexes, Primary keys, Foreign keys can also be copied.
To use the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, we should create a SQL Server Integration Services Project in SQL Server Data Tools, then drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to Control Flow pane. Specify SourceConnection, SourceDatabase, DestinationConnection
and DestinationDatabase for the Connection, select the table in the ObjectsToCopy category, then change CopyPrimaryKeys to True and the other corresponding properties in the task.

Running resports from new database using discoverer desktop

Hi,
I am new here on the project and dont have much documentation avaialable. I have is just passwords.
I am new to discoverer. I see that there is one historical database names as HIPRD which has historical HR information of audit purpose(just database , no EBS apps). all users who uses HIPRD database they have user_id as database schema.
the way usres uses data from HIPRD database is either through disco desktop or they launch disco viewer. So they login in disco desktop as username/password database name untick oracle application user. once they login they see all folders where they hace access to run reports.
I created new database called TEST using cold backup set of HIPRD and i have upgraded to 11gR1. I have updated my local tnsnames.ora with TEST entry and i am able to connect TEST(11g) which has same data as it is available in HIPRD.
My question is what I have to do on disco side so that usres can run reports from upgraded 11g TEST database using disco desktop or disco viewer the way they are doing for HIPRD.
Please help, I am new to discoverer

Copy table from one database to another database

Hi,
I am new to SQL and I have a question on copying a table.
QUE: copy one table with huge data(around 60millions of rows) from one database to another database(have to create a new table) in the same server.

Hi ,
By mistake ,I understood you want to copy on different server .
I have rectify above.On same server we can copy Table in many way ;
As I mentioned Above you can use ;
select * into [Destination Database].[dbo].[NewTableName] from [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[Category]
Second;
select * into [Destination Database].[dbo].[NewTableName] from [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[Category] Where 1=2
Insert into [Destination Database].[dbo].[NewTableName]
select * from [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[Category]

Best way to copy table from one database to any other database

I need to write an application to perform database table copy from one kind of database to another kind of database.
I just wrote a simple JDBC program which essentially does the something like below:
PreparedStatement statement = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try
System.out.println("insertSQL:" + insertSQL.toString());
statement = target.prepareStatement(insertSQL.toString());
System.out.println("selectSQL:" + selectSQL.toString());
rs = source.executeQuery(selectSQL.toString());
int rows = 0;
while (rs.next())
rows++;
for (int i = 1; i <= columns.size(); i++)
statement.setString(i, rs.getString(i));
statement.execute();
System.out.println("Copied " + rows + " rows.");
But problem with this one is that it takes lot of time( more than 60 mins) for 100k records transfer. Would there be any faster way to do this?
TIA...

Thanks...
I am using now batch update mechanism and set the fetchsize of resultSet cursor.
Now I need to copy a table with almost 10 million records to the target database. My program works fine but it takes more than 3 hours.
I am copying from Postgres table to MS SQL server table.
Is there any other way or more better appraoch to make this more faster?
TIA..
