Dataguard between different oracle versions

Can I dataguard an 11.1.0.6 database to a backup 11.2.0.1 database

For rolling upgrade purposes yes. But only to a Logical standby. And you can also use the transient Logical standby rolling upgrade as well if you are a Physical standby user.

Transports between different Oracle versions

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to have DEV, QAS on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PRD on Oracle 9.2.0.8? Will the transports work?
Thanks & Regards,

> Is it possible to have DEV, QAS on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PRD on Oracle 9.2.0.8? Will the transports work?
Sure - the whole transport thing works database independently.
But you should really move on with your Oracle versions there - 10.2.0.2: old, 9.2.0.8: damn old...

Different Oracle versions Replication?

Hello,
We want to create a replication in our laptop.
The server has oracle 9i rel.1. In the laptop we want to install oracle 9i rel. 2.
Can we replicate part of the database using different Oracle DBMS versions?
As a comment: The replication is SDE information.
Thanks,

Replication between different db versions?

Can anyone tell me what limitations there might be performing data replication between different oracle database versions?
Thanks

Depends on the versions and what exactly you mean by "replication", since there are a variety of technologies that may fall under that umbrella.
You can't directly replicate data between a 7.3.4 database and a 10.1 database, for example. You can use a variety of replication technologies between a 9.2 database and a 10.1 database-- materialized views, multi-master materialized views, Streams, transportable tablesspaces-- though you cannot use things like DataGuard, which may fall under the replication umbrella in some cases.

DBConnect with two different oracle versions

Hullo folks,
I've been looking for threads concerning the use of SAP BI's DBConnect tool with multiple external oracle databases.
My client is currently using BI 3.5 and we have successfully used DBConnect to extract information from an external Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 database (btw BW uses the same oracle version).
Currently my customer requests to extract information from a new external non-sap application. This application will be using an oracle database as well, but it will use the latest oracle version, 10.
I know that in the past it wasn't possible to use DBConnect with different oracle versions as the differences were to big. I wonder whether this is also the case with the oracle 9 and 10 versions. Would it be possible to use both versions and extract the data with DBConnect? Or are the changes too big and SAP BW can only pick one of these versions? Perhaps there's a workaround? I don't know, and I'm hoping some of you know something.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer,
though this doesn't answer my question. Yes, I know I'll have to create a different sourcesystem for the new oracle database.
However, I can only use one ini file for Oracle in DBConnect. In the past it wasn't possible to have active connections with different versions of oracle databases (you can only have one file for oracle installed in DBConnect).
The question is, whether it's possible to have a connection with two source systems where one uses Oracle 10 and the other Oracle 9... and if it's possible which file should be used in DBConnect...

Differences between different IR versions

Can you please tell me the differences between different IR versions?
Thanks

Here are the 11.1.2 specific IR changes: from the R&A Readme:
Interactive Reporting
Support for SFTP
SFTP protocol is now supported for distribution outputs generated by jobs and schedules. For more information, see the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework Administrator’s Guide.
Interactive Reporting Roles
Two new roles, IR HTML Viewer and IR WebClient Viewer, have been added for Interactive Reporting. For additional information, see the EPM User and Role Security Guide.
Removal of CMC
CMC is no longer a separate web application. All functionality has been merged into the Administer module. For more information, see the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework Administrator’s Guide.
There are also several Workspace changes which would could impact IR users as well, depening on your particular set up , it might be worthwhile reviewing those as well.
Cheers, Iain

Transportable tablespace accross different oracle versions

Hi
Do I need same oracle versions if I want to transport tablespaces ?
i.e Can I transport tablespaces from oracle9i to oracle 11g ? or from oracle 10g to oracle 11g ?
I read the documents however Im still confused.

Thanks, I have read the document and notice that from oracle 10g and onwards I can transport tablespaces accross different oracle versions.
I think we can change the endian format via rman hence no need to have same endian format
"Beginning with the Oracle10g database, a tablespace can always be transported to a database with the same or higher compatibility setting, whether the target database is on the same or a different platform."

Import/Export between different Portal versions

Hi, is there any resonable argument for not allowing imp/exp between different version? The thing is a developed a Page Group on a 9i AS and now need to export it to a 10g AS. It reasonable to think that an imp/exp machanism should exist, at least, for the latest version.

Hi there,
Yes, there is a reasonable argument for that and that is that the export code will be different from the import code. This means that alterations to the code in order to be more flexible or to even fix an issue, for example, on the export won't be in-place. Now when you'll try to import with the different code this certainly will clash your system (as the problem may already be within the DMP file that you've exported).
Although your request does make sense the implementation part is not that easy to be done.
I hope it helps you to better understand the constraints...
Cheers,
Pedro.

I see that there are several not needed date to char conversions. I could imaging that they confuse the query merge mechanism. Other than that: try to strip down the query to the smallest posisble set of colum combination. So that you can see where the error comes from.

Data migration between different ECC versions

Is there a way to migrate data between two different ECC versions?
I know that there are differences between the tables and therefore TDMS transports are not possible. But is there another way to get master data from one version (6.0 EHP 3) to another one (6.0 EHP 4)? For example a tool that can prepare the exported data for the import in a higher version?
thx

That's indeed the most feasible option we have on the table right now. Although we have a lot of Z-fields and would need to transfer them with LSMW.
The ZMATMAS has only been built for outbound...

Different plsql for different Oracle versions

Hi everyone,
I am working on a plsql script which may be run on multiple databases. Unfortunately, I have a need to run one query type if the version is 10g, and another if it is 9i. The 10g query is preferable for the type & amount of information it returns, but 9i does not have the same level of support. I wrote the below (dumbed down for posting purposes) to do this:
spool sqlLog.txt append

SET PAGESIZE 0;

set serveroutput on;

ver VARCHAR2(64);
BEGIN
select v.version into ver from product_component_version v where product like '%Oracle%';
ver:=substr(ver,0,2); --remove anything but the highest version number, a.k.a. 9 or 10.
dbms_output.put_line('ver: '||ver);
--10g
IF to_number(ver)>=10
THEN
     for csr_10g in (SELECT sql_fulltext, a.parsing_schema_name, b.name, b.value_string
                         FROM V$SQL a left outer join v$sql_bind_capture b ON a.SQL_ID = b.SQL_ID)
          loop
            dbms_output.put_line(csr_10g.sql_fulltext||';'|| csr_10g.parsing_schema_name||';'|| csr_10g.name||';'|| csr_10g.value_string);
         end loop;
ELSE

     for csr_9i in (SELECT a.sql_Text, b.Schemaname
                         FROM v$sqlarea a left outer join v$session b ON a.parsing_schema_id=b.schema#
          loop
            dbms_output.put_line(csr_9i.sql_text||';'|| csr_9i.schemaname||';');
         end loop;
END IF;
END;
--run;
spool off;
exit;If I run this on a 10g database, it works correctly, spooling the query return to a file.

Hi,
Dynamic SQL, like John suggested, might be the most elegant solution, but here are some others to consider:
(1) Create dummy objects. Your code guarantees that you'll never get a run-time error trying to query v$sql in Oracle 9, but the problem is that you're getting a compile-time error just by referencing it. So create a v$sql: a dummy table in your own schema, a synonym to the Oracle 10 data dictionary via a database link, anything just so it compiles.
(2) Create real objects. For example, in your Oracle 9 database, create a view called v$sql, based on v$sqlarea and v$session, that has all the same columns you use in Oracle 10. If you can do this, you won't even need an IF statement in your PL/SQL; the same code that runs against the data dictionary v$sql in Oracle 10 will run against your own schema's v$sql in Oracle 9.
(3) Isolate the problems. Write two different versions of a package, one for each version, and put all version-dependent code in the package. In most of your code, call the procedure to do the version-dependent stuff. For example, don't open a cursor in your program: instead, call the package to open a cursor.
(4) Comment Out. Klugy but cute. Write your PL/SQL without IF statements, like this:
BEGIN
&v10     for csr_10g in (SELECT sql_fulltext, a.parsing_schema_name, b.name, b.value_string
&v10                         FROM V$SQL a left outer
&v9     for csr_9i in (SELECT a.sql_Text, b.Schemaname
&v9                         FROM v$sqlarea a left outer join v$session b ON a.parsing_schema_id=b.schema#
&v9                                                                                  join v$sql_bind_capture b ON a.SQL_ID = b.SQL_ID)
          loop
&v10            dbms_output.put_line(csr_10g.sql_fulltext||';'|| csr_10g.parsing_schema_name||';'|| csr_10g.name||';'|| csr_10g.value_string);
&v9            dbms_output.put_line(csr_9i.sql_text||';'|| csr_9i.schemaname||';');
         end loop;
END;Compile your PL/SQL in SQL*Plus.
Define two substitution variables: v10 and v9.
In Oracle 10, v10 make " " and make v9 "--".
In Oracle 9, v10 make "--" and make v9 " ".
You can do the assignments on the fly with the SQL*Plus "COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE" command.
In either database, code that only works in the other version will be commented out. Your code will look like hell (good spacing and comments will make it less hard to read), but it will compile and work.
None of these ideas are mutually exclusive. You might want to do dynamic SQL in some places, and use on dummy objects in others, for example.

Shared Listener with different oracle versions

Hi,
I have configured the following shared listener for two databases running with different versions.
I have started the O02TXN3-9i along with the shared listener and then listener was started with 9i version and then I brought up the O01TXN3 -10g.
Please let me know whether I can connect to the 10g database O01TXN3 remotely with shared listener.
Note: Please find listener and oratab files below.
Your early response is much appreciated.

As a general rule, only one listener is required for a machine as long as all database versions are currently supported. (In other words one listener for Oracle7 and Oracle11g will not work.)
As a general rule, an old listener MAY not be able to handle the features of the newer database (such as transferring blobs was a limitation in Oracle8). Therefore use the newest listener to handle all the databases.
As a general rule, listeners can be considered independent of databases in a sense similar as ASM. Therefore it's not a bad idea to have a separate ORACLE_HOME specifically to install the listener. This is especially useful if you have multiple databases with differing service level agreements,
I'd want to see
1) the output of lsnrctl status
2) any console session stuff and copy/paste to be surrounded by preview tages as described in the FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/faq.html#q14)

Install client for two different oracle versions

hello, right now I'm involved in two different projects, which work with Oracle 9i and 10g, and I need to access both databases from the same computer. My question is if it's possible to install the client software for both versions without problems.
Thank you

The problem is that the client for 9i is already installed in that machine, and it can't be uninstalled. So I need to install 10g client software, but without uninstalling the other one, only if this operation doesn't generate any conflicts. Is there an official Oracle document or somethign similar about this topic?

Deployment manager between different OIM versions

Hi everyone
We installed OIM version 9.1.0.1 in our development environment but the customer want to install version 9.1.0.2 on the UAT environment. Is it safe to copy the customization between the 2 different verions using deployment manager?
Thanks

Hi,
As per my knowledge in OIM, There are few things which you can go for export-improt in same version:
1. Email Template
2. UDFs
3. Adapters.
Process Form, Process Definitions, User Groups, Access Policies are not advisable to export/import in the same version alos if you have done any customization from your end if you are using OOTB you can do it.
As you are going the change the OIM version, I will suggest you first export/import only three things as mentioned above, rest thing you try to recreate over there.
