DB Migration from SAPDB to Oracle 10g - Archive access after migration?

Hi!
Our customer plans to move his SAP system landscape from one Service Provider to another. During this not only new hardware is used but also a DB migration will be done using the procedure described in the SAP System Copy Guide (SAPDB -> Oracle - Offline Export in source system,
Import in target system).
SAPSID and client will be the same in the new environment, but of course HW key, IP-adress, Server name, Domain name and obviously Installation no. will change. SAP Note 153433 as well as System Copy Guide do not completely clearly tell me, whether we will face problems when trying to access our archived data after the migration. It's not completely clear to me, how the Archive References are
built: Only using SAPSID and client? Then everything should be okay, because here we plan no changes.
So do we have to face any problems when trying to access and/or reload the archived files and objects after the movement to the new service provider? Are there any pitfalls concerning archviving and archive access we have to take in mind?
Add. info: The archvied files and objects are stored in an IBM Common Store which will be moved physically from location A to B. So here nothing changes.
Thanx in advance for any hint.
BTW: SAP Notes 153433, 460620 and 53068 were already studied. SAP support said this is a consulting issue ... ;-(

Volker Kolberg

Hi Volker,
I haven't worked much on archiving, however Archived files are flat files ( I think) and hence these files should be common for all databases.
However a good strategy is to first test. I think you must have already thought about it however still here is what you could do.
Take system copy of the system you want to migrate ( you could choose a development system where there is not much data)
Delete data the production clients in the copied system.
Archive some data using object something like WORKITEM which is harmless workflow object.
Migrate the system and try to reload the object
Hope that helps.

Migration from DB2 to Oracle 10g using free tools

Dear all,
Im currently using DB2 database and wish to migrate data over to Oracle 10g express. However, i could not find any free tools or methods to migrate without using tools as i could not use tools like Oracle Migration Workbench as the migration is for certain project which will deal with internal process or commercial purpose.
Would like to seek everybody's help. Greatly appreciation your response.
Regards,
Kee Cheng =)

Thanks. But have you heard of creating a heterogenous services, create a database link between the 2 database, then transform over to Oracle?I thought you were looking for a free tool. With HS, you'll have to buy the component to install on the DB2 system. Unless something has changed since the last time I worked in a mixed Oracle/DB2 shop.

Issue during migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer v 3.2.20.09 to migrate from Sybase to Oracle Pl/SQL 12c
While migrating the stored procedure the following block did not convert. I got NULL instead of object_id:
Sybase Block:
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.CheckEst
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
PRINT ‘<<>>’
ELSE
PRINT ‘<<>>’
END
Oracle Block after conversion:
BEGIN
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE CheckEst;
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
END IF;
END;
END IF;
END;
Lines 1 & 4 got converted to NULL. I have many places where such code is written.
Is there any quick way to overcome such an issue? or what needs to be done in such case?

Hi,
You are using an older version of SQL*Developer. Could you download the latest 4.0.2 version available from here -

and check if you still have the problem ?

Hotkey (Ctrl+B) is not working after migration from Forms 6i to 10g

Dear Gurus,
Need your help regarding the following problem:
After migrating from Forms 6i to 10g (Rel 2), Ctrl+B (used to list the blocks in a form) hotkey is not working anymore (all other hotkeys are working fine). I've checked my FMRWEB.RES and it contains an entry for Ctrl+B:
66 : 2 : "Ctrl+B" : 70 : "Block Menu"
Additional Information:
OS: AIX
NLS_LANG = UTF8
fmrweb_utf8.res also contains the same text for Ctrl+B as above.
I tried to reproduce it on my Windows Machine (with NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and its not working as well. I don't have right to put move files on AIX server but i can try anything (on my local system) suggested by the Oracle gurus.
Best Regards,

Dear Gerd,
"are you sure, that it is the hotkey"
Yes, i am dead sure. Since:
(1) It was working fine in forms 6i
(2) If you run a form and select Help => Keys, you will see Ctrl+B on the top of list
The problem is its not taking into account the keys which i am defining in the file (although i am following the same procedure detailed on metalink.oracle.com).

Migrating from MSSQL2005 to OracleExpress 10g - stored proc problems

I'm trying to migrate from MSSQLExpress2005 to OracleExpress 10g.
I upgraded my SQLDeveloper 1.1.3 to SQLDeveloper 1.2 from Check Updates (Even it still displays 1.1.3 at Help->About, I assume it was upgraded because version of extensions changed to 10.2.0.29.98)
First I have renaming of my objects problem :
Why does SQLDeveloper renames my stored procedures? I dont see any reason to change.Some of about 50 occurrences :
1-"spCPLN_Alloc_ReSortForMultiAttendance" to "spCPLN_lloc_ReSortForMultitten"
2-"spCPLN_Alloc_CalculateFixedConstraints" to "spCPLN_lloc_CalculateFixedCons"
3-"spCPLN_Alloc_GetAllocationResult" to "spCPLN_lloc_GetllocationResult"
Another problem : What is the problem of this T/SQL scode snippet?I cant convert it with Scratch editor too. I got "Unexpected end of subtree : Line 0 Col 0." error
CREATE PROCEDURE spCPLN_XML_InsertDers
@CourseID int,
@Type1 int
AS
BEGIN
IF((NOT EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM DersKur
WHERE CourseID = @CourseID))
AND ( @Type1 = 2 ))

SELECT 1
END
END
I have more than 15 error like this.
thank you

Hi Tuna ,
Thanks for the feedback.
Stored procedure names are collision managed so that they are not longer than 30 characters in length. This is a limitation of Oracles object naming convention.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/fundamentals.htm#sthref309
WRT the procedure.
There is a issue in the T-SQL translator which I have logged a bug for.
bug 6127111 NOT EXITS SUB EXPRESSION NOT RECOGNIZED
It looks like the translator cannot recognize the
IF(( NOT EXISTS
and is expecting IF NOT EXISTS.
As a workaround the following manually modified T-SQL translates
T-SQL
CREATE PROCEDURE spCPLN_XML_InsertDers
@CourseID int,
@Type1 int
AS
BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM DersKur
WHERE CourseID = @CourseID) AND ( @Type1 = 2 )

Licensed version and free download from OTN of Oracle 10g DB

I had a doubt with any difference with the licensed version and free download from OTN of Oracle 10g DB. We had downloaded a free version of oracle 10g
database from OTN and are using it in our live environment. It seems to be working fine. We are trying to get a licensed copy of Oracle 10g DB also but that may take sometime. So, my doubt is whether the free download from OTN should not create any problems in our live environment.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.
regards

Hello,
There is no difference whether you download from OTN or get so called licensed copy of oracle software. It's free to download and free to use you are using for personal eduction purpose, but if you are using for commercial purpose then you should contact oracle sales for pricing but you can continue with the same software. See following link for certification on different platform

Migration from SAPDB 7.4 to MaxDB 7.6 (7.7)

Hello,
I hope I'm right here to find a solution for my migration problem.
I have the SAPDB 7.4 in my own application. Now I want to migrate it to a newer Community version 7.6 or 7.7. Since MaxDB is back to SAP I will post my question here.
In a MySQL mailing list I found a comment that the migration from 7.4 to 7.6 should be done by simplify make a backup from 7.4 and restore it into 7.6 (http://lists.mysql.org/maxdb/26124)
I tried this with the DBM GUI. When I start a recovery with initialisation it says "Recovery has completed sucessfully". But than I can't restart the database instance:
-24988 SQL errir [info STATE -d]; -4004,Unknown table name:INFO_STATE
After this the instance is in online mode, but when I try to load the system tables I get:
-24964 error in program execution [load_systab ...]; 3,""C:\test\sapdb\depend\bin\x_python" "C:\test\sapdb\depend\env\lsystab.py" -R "C:\test\apdb\depend" -d MYDB -u dbam*"
I also found a post where some steps described for a migration from 7.3 to 7.6 (http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb/28720), but my source database is 7.4 and the command util_execute migrate give my a SQL error on 7.4
-24988,ERR_SQL: sql error
Is there any HowTo or tutorial how to migrate from SAPDB 7.4 to 7.6 or 7.7?
I hope, someone can help me....
Thanks in advanced and best regards,
Thomas

Good choice.

Well - actually this is not the recommended procedure.
In fact this it not tested at all. It should work, yep - but there's no guarantee for it.
Why don't you simply use the standard way to upgrade your database?
Use SDBUPD or SDBSETUP and all necessary steps will be done automatically.

Sure it's called 'documenation'.
You may want to take a look... [Installation Manual|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/dd1681a23819d9e10000000a422035/content.htm].
In general it's a good idea to ensure that the system tables are properly loaded before you try the upgrade and that you use the most current patch of your old version (if available).

DB Migration from MYSQL to ORACLE Using Offline Capture

Hi
Am doing a database migration from MySQL to Oracle using SQL Developer (version 2.1.1.64). So far, I've successfully captured the MySQL database and converted it to the Oracle Model. However, when generating offline scripts to create the converted model schema into Oracle DDL scripts it managed to generate SQL to create: 1) User 2) Sequences 3) Tables 4) Triggers and 5) constraints.
It has created the SQL to add the primary key constraints and index constraints. Although it did the foreign key constraints in the SQL, the foreign key constraints seems to have missed the cascading options for the foreign key constraint. I.e. theres no reference of whether the foreign key constraint will restrict on delete or cascade etc.
We have a foreign keys in the MySql database that have different cascading options and these have not being ported over into the migration SQL. Therefore, all the foreign keys generated in the SQL by default are cascade to restrict on delete.
Does 'Generate Oracle DDL' not take into account a foreign key's on delete cascading option?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
that reminded me for the following thread:
Migration Microsoft SQL Sever 2005 to Oracle 11g cascade on delete problem
That is a similar issue, isn't it?
I opened a bug for that, and it will be fixed in SQL Developer 3.1 (not in any 3.0 Early Adopter version). If you hit the same issue, there is no other way then using the workaround as used in the mentioned thread.

Wolfgang

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

Migrating from Sybase to Oracle

Hi!
Can someone tell me, how to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
Thank U.

Hi,
You don't say if you have used the SQL*Developer migration workbench for the migration so far.
This has a feature for transferring data offline which should do what you want.
Have a look at the documentation linked from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or at -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm

Migrating from Progress to Oracle

Hi,
Wonder if someone's migrated from Progress to Oracle. What tools are available ? what are the constraints/pitfalls/limitations/restrictions ? I need to understand the overall migration process (not having done one yet). What are the tools ? what the procedural steps specifically to go from Progress to Oracle ?
If someone has done such project, I can use some highlights (if you can share your knowledge/experince).
Much appreciate any response.
Rohit.

Here is a bit of an update gathered from my own research on this issue. Hopefully, it can help someone with the same requirement as mine.
1. Oracle Migration WorkBench does NOT have support for Progress yet and according to Oracle sales, it may never be made available. Thus MWB is not an option.
2. Oracle Migration Toolkit is a possibility as it does have support going from Progress 6.x and 7.x to Oracle 7. The limitation here is that you can only go up to Oracle 7 from Progress 6.x or 7.x. In this case, I can migrate to Oracle 7 and then once all is well, upgrade Oracle to 8i or whatever.
3. The last option is, if migration toolkit does not work out, go the traditional route which is to export/extract Progress out into flat files and then load into Oracle using SQL Loader.
