Database shifting

We want to shift our database from machine MAC1 to machine MAC2.
I have taken FULL EXPORT from the database A from machine MAC1.
I have takem FULL IMPORT of databsae A in another machine MAC2.
Now during the IMPORT on database of machine MAC2 6 hours are elapsed.
So during 6 hours 4G archives has been generated. I want to apply those archives to databse on MAC2 so that i can work on the machine database of MAC2.
How can i do it?
Thanks,

Hi,
It seems you are working on a dead end road.
Create a full hot backup of the original db on your original machine.
Recover the hot backup on the new machine. Do NOT open resetlogs.
After recovery, take all archivelogs that were not included in the hotbackup from (for example) the last four hours.
Recover these archivelogs as well.
Perform a 'alter system archive log current' on the original db
Shutdown the original database.
Take the very last archivelogs to the new database and recover these as well.
Open the new database.
This will give you a minimum downtime, and an easy way to move your db.
Please read the Backup& Recovery guide for details. The steps above are not detailed enough to work with.

Database shifting from UNIX to WINDOWS

Hi,
We have a production server located at Suse UNIX.
We would like to move database from UNIX to WINDOWS.
I would like to know what are the difficulties/scenarios which occures while moving the database?
How difficult is it to import current oracle database to oracle on windows server ?
Please explain in details.
Thanks,

hi what is your version of database?
are you chaging the database version also or simply operating system?
if you are only changing OS, then exp/imp is the best option. but to acheive this you need to do some groundwork like collecting all the tablespaces information and schemas and their privileges etc.
also depends on database size also you can choose come other options.
if your database version is 10g then you can best use the option of datapump exp/imp or network_link parameter of datapump.

Is there any impact if existing databases shift in to Vertual Servers?

Hi,
I have nearly 30 databases running in 3 servers with Red Hat Linux, Windows 2003 and Suse Linux, Our Management wants to set up vertual servers and asking confirmation for Oracle database operation.
Appriciate if some one can advice on this proposal regarding oracle databse operation in vertual Servers.
What is a virtual server environment?
It is a method of partitioning one physical server into multiple “virtual” servers, giving each the appearance and capability of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server functions as a fully-fledged server and can be independently rebooted.
What are some of the main advantages of a virtual server environment?
• Individual systems do not need dedicated physical hardware.
• Decrease in the required number of physical devices.
• Significant energy efficiency through reduced cooling and electricity costs.
• Better redundancy in the event of an outage.

Appriciate if some one can advice on this proposal regarding oracle databse operation in vertual Servers.First of all, 30 databases on 3 servers, quite bad idea i think. How many of them are critical production systems? If your company did not invest in hardware and software, will they be ready to buy license of virtual machines (you need separate OS licenses for OS on virtual machines).
Now, not a bad idea for going virtual as you already see the advantages, but, you alreay have 3 servers, you already have all the benefits which you can get by going virtual.
Believe me, i don't see any benefit for you to go virtual. having 10 databases on a single server is better than having 10 virtual machines on a server and configuring one database on each virtual machine.
Exactly how is having 10 databases on a single physical server better than 10 virtual machines with one database each? Believe me, I don't think that statement is so self-evident. A lot of it depends on the nature of the databases that are sharing a physical server, their relationship to one another, their individual support and upgrade needs, etc., etc.
Your question is very complex as no one knows your needs and how much more hardware you are going to buy, how many databases are critical production. You need to research on the internet whether it is feasible for you? Check bellow document about "when should you use virtualization "

Can't access my apple lossless files on external hard drive after reinstalling windows 8.1

Hi guys
New to this. I reinstalled windows 8.1 after windows continually asking me to change my password after not recognising it despite it being the right one. All my apple lossless tunes are on my external hard drive. Windows keeps saying 'I don't have access to this file currently'. I tried right clicking on hard drive, clicked properties, and tried assigning administrator rights to everyone but still no luck. Contacted windows who said it was an apple issue so here I am.
Can anyone help. I've got 900 albums on this hard drive and the thought of ripping them all again is stressing me.
Thanks guys
Stuart

Changing the path to the media folder doesn't change which database iTunes opens. If your original database is on the external drive then shift-start-iTunes and use the choose option to open it. If you no longer have access to the original database shift-start-iTunes and create a new empty library at X:\iTunes, where X: is the external drive letter, ensure the media folder is set to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, move all of your content inside X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, use File > Add Folder to Library > X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. There are some scripts near the end that can extract ratings, play counts and playlists from your device and the rest of the tip explains how you backup and restore the device with the new library to avoid losing data.

Database... uh... shifting

Howdy,
I have an application server that relies on data in an oracle database. This is a development environment. I'd like to be able to shift from one version of the database to another quickly and easily. The reason for this need is that I want to be able to shift between different installs of the application in my development environment - some installs might be clean out-of-the-box implementations, some with sample data, some with customizations I've developed, etc.
If I were using MS SQL Server, I would stop my application server, detach one logical database (& logs) from the database server, attach my desired version, then start my application server. If I script it, I can shift from one version to another in under a minute.
I'm familiar with oracle, and I know that the terminology and structure are different, but I'm hoping someone might be able to understand what I'm requesting and come up with a solution for me. Backup & restore or export/import aren't ideal options for me since these are fairly large databases and those operations can be time consuming.
The underlying structure between these different installs can be slightly different (some may have more tables than others). Oracle settings between different installs is static.
Like a lot of "enterprise" apps, direct database interaction is minimal, the application is not optimized for any particular database platform, and the database platform is essentially a high-performance storage engine for application data. I didn't write it, just trying to provide enough information so that someone can help me out.
Currently working with 11g/RHEL, but a solution that isn't platform dependent or specific to an oracle version is desirable.
I appreciate your time and your assistance,
Steve

It uses oracle libraries to connect, and I can configure an SID for alternate implementations.
But if I have two schemas online, isn't oracle using twice the resources? Or does it share resources between schemas?
If it does use twice the resources, can I take one offline when it is not being utilized? (my dev box does not have a great deal of RAM)
Sorry that these are basic questions.While a one conceptual level one might think of an Oracle schema as being equal to a MS database, that is still not an exact analogy.
The database is a collection of data files that contain database objects. The instance is the memory and processes that access and manage the database. The schema is simply a collection of objects that belong to one user account - a namespace if you will. A schema is just a collection of objects within a given database. There is no such concept of a schema being 'online' or not. There is no such concept as logging on or connecting to a schema.+ One simply connects (logs on) to the instance+ (commonly aka the "database", but to be precise, that is not accurate). When one connects, one has a default schema that all unqualified object references will resolve to.

HR database table--emp code & work schdeule--shift

The daily work schedule shifts are maintained using infotype 2003/2004; Correspondingly you get thye employee code and daily work schedule shifts from
1.PA2003(SUBSTITUTION)->PERNR (Employee code)
2.PA2004 (AVAILABILITY)
Get MOTPR TPROG VARIA from PA2003/2004 and read table T550A for the daily work schedule shifts.

Constraints in shifting UME from portal database to ABAP

Hi All,
We want to move our UME to ABAP and checking for the problems and constraints in this process.I have read in the below link that due to ABAP engine constraints User can change his password only once in a day.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/EN/84/10594aecd3e1408845e66c432b955e/frameset.htm
We want to give the option for the user to change the password more than once in a day from EP . Please suggest me that Can we overcome this constraint in any way or is it unavoidable? Please tell me if there are any other constraints in shifting the database to ABAP. Please help.

Dear Sharath,
Due to the security policy of the AS-ABAP system, users can change their passwords only once per day. However, if the administrator provides a new password, the user can and must change his or her password the next time he or she logs on.
This is fixed in the system and cannot be changed.
Another important constraint is that once you have chosen this data source configuration, you cannot change to any other data source configuration.
For other constraints while using ABAP as data source, please refer to this link:

Shifting HTML DB from one database to another

Hi
I have an application developed in HTML DB on database DB1. Now can i shift this application to another database DB2. Now DB1 was the development database and DB2 is the production database. Both the databases are identical in terms of tables, indexes, column names, etc.
Thanks
Ameya.

If you have html db installed on the second db then you just need to export and import the application.

Shifting data from PostgreSQL database to Oracle database

hello folks,
as i want to have an environment of many database servers of PostgreSQL databases on linux redhat 8.0 and one main database server of Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on linux redhat 8.0;so that transections may go on PostgreSQL databases and Oracle database server would be used as a central repository to facilitate our data warehousing needs,I want to know how to shift data from PostgreSQL database to an Oracle database at the end of the day.What to do? From where can i get its documentation.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Regards.
Muhammad Umar Liaquat.

Since you're going to want to move the data regularly, I'd suggest looking into the Oracle Transparent Gateways (Heterogenous Services). This should let you create database links in Oracle that connect to each of the PostgreSQL databases. Then, you just have to write the appropriate select/insert statements.

Impact of shifting database version and platform

i've to migrate an existing system using Oracle7.3.2.3 on Sun solaris(sparc) 2.6 to Oracle 9i on Linux,
could uyou just guide me what will be the impact on existing code and the database.
is there any documents available regarding this

There is a defined path for this in the Oracle9i upgrade manaual. I'm not sure, but the path I think you have to take is 7.3->8i, 8i->9i. You will have to recompile all programs like pro*C and things like that, but everything else should be consistent.

Shifting Database from 8i to 9i

I have a 8i Oracle database running on a machine , now i have installed orcale 9i on a sepreate machine , i want to move the complete 8i database on this new 9i machine , kindly guide me through the process in detail as i am a bit new to Oracle.

If your downtime window permits it, exporting from the 8i database and importing into a fresh 9i install is probably the easiest option. If your downtime window is too small for that, you would need to install 8i on the new machine, recover your 8i database to the new machine, and then run the database upgrade assistant (or upgrade manually). This is more work for the DBA and a bit more complex, but it takes less time overall.

Thanks in AdvanceIf you can mount the new system before you dismount the old, you can easily move the files - physically move them via os commands, then logically move them (change their pointers in the control file) via the 'rename' sqlplus command.

How to shift Manual Standby Database to Primary Database

Hi all,
My Database edition is Oracle 10G standard Edition and runing 24X7 and configure Manual Stand by Database. if I were changing some iniliazation parameter and datafiles.
What can I do ?
i) How to swift the Manual Stand by Database to Primary Database.
ii) What is the procedure by step by step information need.
Regards.....

If you're using a Manual Standby Database I assume you are using a pfile to apply the archived logs transported from the primary database created while creating the Manual Standard. at that time you should have kept the spfile in place too.
If you have done this, then you can simply open an SQL*Plus session connect as sysdba and issue a simple STARTUP command.
This will use the SPFILE by default and your database will be opened normally.
But if you don't have an SPFILE you can always create one, just specify the necessary control files (not the standby control file) in your pfile, remove unwanted parameters and create the spfile, and use the same step as above and issue a STARTUP.
But once you open your standby database normally you will not be able to switch back to standby mode, you have to recreate it again from a cold backup and create a new standby control file.

Open project was cancelled or application was unable to load database for pathname

My pc is installed with Robohelp 3x. Recently I shifted the
pc from one room to anther. Now when I attempt to open my existing
workable solution, it give me the following message: "Open project
was canceled or application was unable to load database for
<pathname>". Do I need to call for Robohelp technical
support? If yes, can someone provide me the toll free number?
Can someone pls advise?

Thanks Peter, managed to get in through the link you've
given. I seriously doubt it has anything gotta do with a corrupted
project. I have 2 working projects last week but they can no longer
be opened this week.
I tried even to created an empty project from scratch. It was
created successfully but when I reopen the project, it shows the
same error message.
Could there have been other possibilities or ways which I can
troubleshoot?

SQL Server Database Connectivity with Visual Studio 2012 - Help Needed

Hello,
I am having Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Developer 4.0 installed on my system with Windows 8 - 64bit
I want to shift a VS project with an SQL database connectivity to another new Laptop (above mentioned) ...
I have the project opened in VS without bieng connected to the database..
I have a backup file of the database (which needs to be restored to a new created database on SQL Developer)
The problem:
I am unable to create a server connection in SQL Developer which will allow me to create a new database followed by the recovery from backup file.
I am getting the following error message when I try to create a connection:
Status: Faliure - IO error: The network adapter could not establish a connection
Please help me in setting up a server connection and adding a new sql database

The error message seemed unfamiliar to me and since I had never heard of SQL Developer before, I went to Google. Google might be pulling my legs, but it appears that SQL Developer is related to Oracle. This forum is devoted to SQL Server, so you are in the
wrong place.
Try finding a forum for SQL Developer.
