Database recovery from the server backup - 10g Oracle with Linux

My server OS is Linux and nightly we are taking a whole logical volumes backup as it is and databses are not shutdown.
so i would like to know how much worth keeping this copy in recovery purposes as it is taking few hours to copy all daily.
If some one can share some points would be appriciated.

Hi,
What kind of backup is it please explain, what tool are you using for this logical volume backups? Are you sure that if you logical volume backup starts at 10:00, everything is logically frozen at that point in time and if recovery needed, everything will be restored at exact 10:00? Since oracle database is open on logical volumes, during backup of logical volumes, your database files will not be consistent and hence backup of database is not valid and will not work (unless you have some utility to logical freeze everything during backup to make backup consistent).
I would recommend you to configure the oracle database backup (hot or RMAN) and put backup on a logical volume and configure backup of that logical volume and remove the logical volume from backup list where your database exists. Database backup should finish before backup of logical volume statrts

Hi Naveen,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?You will need much more which suggestions.
You will need a Siebel professional which has done this type of migration. Migrating the Database is not a task so hard, after migrating your environment should be functional and healthy it is usually the task problematic.
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?We can recommend the minimum recommended, but this documentation already does, you need to do a analysis on your environment and ask a vendor Siebel tell the which is recommended for you and how to find the best "number" for you, in your case is very hard because everything changes.

Hi,
I have tested using the following -
SQL*Developer Version 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34
and did the following -
Tools - Migration - Translation Scratch Editor
- made sure I was using the 'Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL to PL/SQL ' option in the 'Translateor' tab.
Then in the worksheet put in your entry -
PRINT '@HID=' + CAST(@HID AS VARCHAR(100))
This is then translated to the following -
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@HID=' || CAST(v_HID AS VARCHAR2(100)));
END;
Is this what you did and the entry you typed into the scratch pad ?
If not, can you give the full code that gave the error -
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@HierID=' || CAST(v_HierID AS VARCHAR2(100)));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@NodeType=' || CAST(v_NodeType AS VARCHAR2(100)));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('@NodeTypeReqd=' || CAST(v_NodeTypeReqd AS VARCHAR2(100)));
Error(36,64): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following: . ) @ % The symbol ")" was substituted for "(" to continue. gives error in compiling error

Recovering mail from a server backup

A bunch of messages have disappeared from an Imap mailbox, at the same time as the Time Machine backup disk at the client Mac has failed.
So, I'm looking to recover the missing messages from my OS X Server Mac mini, which has a known good Time Machine backup.
Can anyone advise an approach please. I'm unclear why the messages disappeared in the first place, but I assume that if I can somehow access them from the server backup, I can restore.
I could:
- Save off current messages from the client
= Restore the server to a point before the messages disappeared
- Copy back the saved current messages
Is there a better way?
And does anyone have a theory as to why the messages disappeared in the first place?
Thanks all

There really isn't a better way, IMHO. I've had to do the restore and it only restores the mail directory. So I took the same approach:
1. Export or copy to another folder within mail all of the user's email.
2. Restore the Mail file on the server.
3. Reconnect the client to the Mail server.
4. Manage deltas using the archived messages.
There may be another, more technical way to do this. But if the amount of mail isn't too bad, this is a very quick way to "fix" it.

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..

Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
First, I was following a tutorial
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
What do I do in this case ?
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply.
After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

Converting SQL statements from MS server 2000 to Oracle 10g

We are moving over from MS server 2000 to Oracle 10g as our database for Peoplesoft system.
There are several embedded SQL statements that I need to investigate to see what needs converting.
So far I can see a need to convert the following:
Dates. GetDate() to ?
Outer joins. *= to LEFT OUTER JOIN
Has anyone else done a similar exercise and what other functions do I need to convert?
Thanks.

Problem to copy database from the hot backup

Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0
SunOS 5.8
Hi all,
I wrote the UNIX script to copy the production Oracle 9i database from the hot backup to the Oracle 9i development database. I already did it manually without any problems using Metalink document Note:18070.1
The script stops after the command
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile ,
because I have to apply all archived logs manually.
How is it possible to get rid of this problem and automatically apply archived logs?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alex
P.S. We are not authorized to use RMAN.

P.S. We are not authorized to use RMAN. We dont get your point?
Who stops you using RMAN?
How did you take the hot backup then?
There are couple of good notes on metalink, and below is one of them,

How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...
cheers,

Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
Please guide me.
Nith

Nith,
I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
-Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
-Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
-You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
good luck!

Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

Hi,
we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
Following are the steps which I assumed :
1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
4.     Report data testing
Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
Kindly reply

Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
I will follow the steps you have suggested.
Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.

Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server

I have a SQL statement that wants to add a temp table to the database.   The SQL statement works fine but when I try to add it via 'Add Command' feature in Crystal XI R2, I get the following error message:
Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.

Hi Raghavendra,
I am using this in the 'Add Command' feature but I get the error message displayed in the subject line:
CREATE TABLE #TibetanYaks(
YakID char(4),
YakName char(20) )
INSERT INTO #TibetanYaks (YakID, YakName)
SELECT LastName, FirstName
FROM      Employee
WHERE      EmployeeID between '2000' and '3000'
I haven't tried to add this as a stored procedure but I imagine it will work as I have no problems yet with stored procedures. I simply want to be able to use temporary tables for the sole purpose of that session and not creating anything static in the database.
By the way, even though I get the error message, when I look on the backend database, I see that the temporary table was successfully created...its just not brought across correctly in Crystal.
Any ideas?
Zack H.

Back from where?
You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.
