DB2 Migration 8.2 -- 9.5 problem

Hello,
I'm in my 5th migration of database DB2 8.2 to 9.5.
Today as always, I used the same process of the other times.
I installed DB2 9.5 enterprise server, then I migrate the instance with db2imigr command.
The problem arose now. When I tried to migrate database it told me that
db2 migrate database IR2
SQL1013N  The database alias name or database name "IR2" could not be found
I made a db2 list db directory and IR2 was there. So I tried to uncatalog and catalog again.
I was able to UNCATALOG but now, it's impossible to catalog db again:
ECPEIR2:db2ir2 51> db2 catalog db IR2 on /db2/IR2
SQL6028N  Catalog database failed because database "IR2" was not found in the
local database directory.
Could anyone help me?
thanks.
regard,s

Hello Sameer,
I chose to rollback migration.
The steps I'm running are:
1. Uncatalog the database IF IT IS NOT MIGRATED (Drop if it is migrated). Since the DB was not migrated I just can't catalog it I leave it as it is.
2. From the new software directory (for eg: /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5/instance), drop the instance using the db2idrop command.
3. From the old software directory (for eg: /usr/opt/db2_08_01/instance), recreate the instance using the db2icrt command.
4. Recatalog the database IF IT WAS NOT MIGRATED (Restore if it was migrated).  In this step I have the same problem... I can't recatalog the database even with db2_08. I checked one thing weird.  When I make db2level it tells 32bits????? why? it should be 64bits!!!!
ECPEIR2:db2ir2 11> db2level
DB21085I  Instance "db2ir2" uses "32" bits and DB2 code release "SQL08024" with
level identifier "03050106".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v8.1.1.104", "s060120", "U805924", and FixPak
"11".
Product is installed at "/usr/opt/db2_08_01".
5. Reimport the configuration that was backed up.
6. Reinstall db2 license files.

    When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted.
    I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists.
    It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
    I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
    Any idea what is going on?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • IBM DB2 Migration

    Does anyone here have experience with IBM DB2 Migration to Oracle? If so, what information can you tell me? I've read the IBM DB2 Migration Guide, but reading real success stories here would be great.
    My company is exploring a couple of home-grown solutions, but it seems to me the Oracle Migration tool would be the preferred way.
    Thanks,
    Houffle

    Thanks, RP.
    1. What exactly is it that you intend to migrate? The tables and data? The stored procedures and packages? User or application code including reports that might have their own embedded SQL?
    Tables - both physical and logical.  No stored triggers or procedures.  We'll be converting our RPG code, which most of he last several years has been written in SQLRPGLE, which uses embedded SQL.  The front-end GUI is written Smalltalk, they will convert to Java.
    2. Who will be architecting, designing, implementing and testing the migration? The current DB2 developers? Developers with existing Oracle expertise?
    We are bringing in a consultant who specializes in replatform projects as the director.  Current DB2 developers are the guardians of the database.  Two of us have previous Oracle experience and all of us are learning more before the project kicks off.  Four team members have been on the project over 11 years.  Two other over five.  One newbie has three years.  We have two Oracle developers in our office to consult with.  hey won't be on the project, but will be our "wise men."
    3. How many mods/upgrades and new functionality will be part of this project?
    Great question.  It's going over 'as is'.  We'll parallel processing for six to eight weeks and be happy if that works.  I don't think we will be utilizing the power of Oracle, due to time constraints.
    In my opinion the biggest issue that needs to be well understood before you select a solution is the fundamental operational differences between DB2 and Oracle. In DB2 writers block readers so there is a lot of (or should be a lot of) manual transaction management that isn't necessary in Oracle.
    We lock tables and rows as needed. Should be similar commands to issue in Oracle
    Sql developer supports some migration functionality.
    Yes, we'd be happy to get our data and indexes over.  That seems like a fundamental task that must be 100% accurate

  • DB2 migration v8.1 to v9.5 in SAP 6.40

    Hello Sirs,
    I'm planning the migration of the databases of v8.1 to v9.5 in SAP 6.40.
    I have a few questions regarding this issue... if anyone knows please tell me.
    1. Is there any inconvenience of having DEV system under DB2 9.5 and the other systems Productive and Quality with DB2 8.1?
    2. Does anyone found any tricky problem in this database migration 8.1 -> 9.5?
    thanks.
    regards,
    Filipe Vasconcelos

    Hi Filipe,
    Once the instance is migrated to a higher release (V9.5 from V8.2) there is no way to "demigrate" it. You would need to do the following:
    1. Uncatalog the database IF IT IS NOT MIGRATED (Drop if it is migrated).
    2. From the new software directory (for eg: /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5/instance), drop the instance using the db2idrop command.
    3. From the old software directory (for eg: /usr/opt/db2_08_01/instance), recreate the instance using the db2icrt command.
    4. Recatalog the database IF IT WAS NOT MIGRATED (Restore if it was migrated).
    5. Reimport the configuration that was backed up.
    6. Reinstall db2 license files.
    This is obviously at a high level but covers the basic idea. Procedurally, I would suggest that you perform and document this process in the sandbox environment before upgrading your Q and P environments.
    Hope this helps,
    Sameer

  • Will Reinstallation and Data migration solve the Character Set Problem????

    Hi to all,
    We are having a problem with Arabic Data in the Oracle 9i Database, when we are adding any data using SQL * Plus and a asp.net web based application, the data is converting to ????? (Question Marks), when the database was installed on the Server with Windows 2003 OS, it was not having Arabic Support, after installation of oracle 9i it was realised, later we installed the language packs for Arabic on the Server.
    So this was the reason the arabic support is not there in the database, we changed the NLS_LANG parameter of the Server's Registry entry, but this did'nt make any effect on the database, the only change we observed was that now we were able to type arabic data in the SQL * Plus on the Server machine. But after saving the record when we retrieve the data is coming as ?????? , so we tried to insert the data using a client which is having the Arabic Support and we inserted a row using the SQL * Plus with arabic data in the insert statement, after inserting when we retrieve the data. The data was visible without any problem.
    So What is the problem is the database storing the arabic data correctly or not ???, we think there is problem with the Server's Oracle Configuartion, is there any other way we can get the server working with arabic data or a Reinstall of the Oracle Data will solve the Problem.
    Or we can do something on the server machine so that we dont need the Resinstallation.
    If we have to Reinstall the Server what are the best practices and steps we should follow so that we have a seamless migration between the old and the new oracle database.
    Thanks and Regards

    With NLS_LANG on the client and NLS_CHARACTERSET in the database equal AR8MSWIN1256, you should be able to support Arabic data without problems. If you have problems, it usually means a configuration issue on the client, for example, NLS_LANG not set for the right Oracle Home, or lack of Arabic support in a particular tool.
    You need to add Arabic message files to the database Oracle Home (i.e. Arabic should be selected in the Product Languages dialog box in the Installer) only if you care about the language of error messages returned from the database to clients. If you do not display these ORA-xxxx error messages to end users, it should be OK to leave them in English. Also, if you want Arabic error messages, month names, and weekday names, you should change AMERICAN to ARABIC in NLS_LANG.

  • Wlcs 3.5 migration to portal 4.0 problem

    Hello, can anybody help with this problem ?
    We are migrating a WLCS3.5 application to portal 4.0 (as a requires middle step
    to wlp7.0)
    Despite some known issues with the migration tool, (the migraton tool craches
    if
    webflow properties has empty lines, etc.) we have webflow and placehloders migrated.
    However we were not able to extract the content selectors,
    and rulesets ( aprox 100 content selectors), the tool is crashing with sax errors.
    Is there a way to convert clob fields in placeholder table
    (only those corresponding to content selectors) to the xml files
    required for wlp 4.0 ?
    source platform: wlcs 3.5 sp1 / wls 6.0 sp2 / solaris / oracle 817
    destination platform wlp 4.0 sp3/ wls 6.1 SP4 / solaris / oracle 817
    Ihe error the migration tool gives is :

    [error_content.txt]

    it sounds like the clob isn't being retrieved correctly...??
    in migrator.bat, what do you have set for this line:
    REM set PATH=%PATH%;%WEBLOGIC_HOME%\bin\oci816_7
    in your migration_install.properties file, what do you have for the following?
    #commerce.jdbc.read.shouldUseClobs=false
    depending on whether the driver can support java.sql.Clob, you'll adjust this
    setting...
    if you end up doing any code migration, you need to make sure that you have the
    patch for CR085102 from bea portal support...it was not included in 4.0sp3 (but
    should be in 4.0sp4)...
    hope this helps!

  • DB2 9.1/AIX  FP7 installation problem

    Hi, All
    I have  problem with installation of v9.1 Fixpack 7 on  V9.1.2
    The installFixPack utility is hang on Step1 with error :
    The DB2 installer detects that DAS "dasusr1" is still active. Stop the DAS and rerun the command again.
    I try to stop DAS :

    SQL4410W  The DB2 Administration Server is not active.
    DB2 instances completely down and no other DB2 processes is presented in the system.
    II reboot the AIX LPAR, but this error still the same after rerun installFixPack

    How i can  fix this error ?
    Thank's

    Hello Dmitry,
    Based on the info you provided the fixpak install is failing with an error that the DAS instance is still running even after you successfully issued db2admin stop.  what we can do instead is drop the DAS before the upgrade, then recreate it afterward. To drop the DAS, issue the following as root:
    dasdrop
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0009176.htm
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/t0005177.htm
    Then after the upgrade finishes, you can recreate the DAS with the following as root:
    dascrt -u dasusr1
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0009177.htm

  • DB2 Migration from Windows - Linux supported with Backup/Restore ?

    Hi folks,
    we have to do a DB2 V9.1 migration from Windows -> Linux. Both servers are Intel based. Is it official supported by SAP to do this without SAP migration tools? E.g. with a backup/restore or redirected restore? I heard about it, but i'm not sure.
    Thanks a lot
    Jochen
    Edited by: Jochen Raab on Mar 1, 2010 5:40 PM

    Hi Jochen,
    Please have a look at the DB2 docu.
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/c0005960.html
    It clearly stats that Linux and Windows are not compatible.
    DB2® database systems support some backup and restore operations between different operating systems and hardware platforms.
    The supported platforms for DB2 backup and restore operations can be grouped into one of three families:
    Big-endian Linux® and UNIX®
    Little-endian Linux and UNIX
    Windows®
    A database backup from one platform family can only be restored on any system within the same platform family. For Windows operating systems, you can restore a database created on DB2 Universal Database (UDB) V8 on a DB2 Version 9 database system. For Linux and UNIX operating systems, as long as the endianness (big endian or little endian) of the backup and restore platforms is the same, you can restore backups that were produced on DB2 UDB V8 on DB2 Version 9.
    So you need to do an eport/import.

    Hi Didier,
    I did some more experimenting and I think the problem is somewhere in skins.
    I downloaded "mycompany" and "limerone" skin from WebCenter page.
    Now the problem appears only if I use mycompany or limerone skin and only with firefox2.0.
    In JDeveloper visual editor after deleting oracle-desktop-10_1_3_X_0-en-ie-6-windows-s.css problem is solved and also with IE I have no problem. Also no problem if I use "oracle" skin with firefox2.0.
    please try it (new skins + FF) and you will see...
    thanks,

    Message no. BOM013
    Diagnosis
    You have entered selection criteria on the initial screen to define which BOMs you want to be distributed. There are 1 BOMs that meet the criteria. Please note that this is only a preselection. For an actual selection, more criteria need to be taken into account.
    Procedure
    If the resulting quantity of data is greater than you expected, check whether you have restricted your selection enough on the initial screen.
    Your expert view please!

  • Migrated users incorrectly, now permissions problems

    Hi all!
    I purchased a 2011 MBP this year, to replace my 2008 MBP. I attempted to use Migration Assistant, but didn't transfer correctly and now I'm having permissions related problems. I'm assuming they are related, as that is how it sounds from posts I've read in these forums.
    When I used migration assistant, I had already created the same user name on the new MBP. Now that I've read many posts in this forum, I realize I should never have created a user on the new MBP, prior to using migration assistant. Anyway, having trouble with duplicate account names, I believe I reformatted the drive and used the drag and drop method from the old MBP to the new (I can't honestly remember, but I'm pretty sure that's the method I chose). I still created the same user name on both, so perhaps that wasn't a great idea.
    For the most part I didn't notice any problems, until after I purchased and installed MS Office 2011. I would open any Office app and everytime it would require me to go through all opening screens as if it was the first time opening Office, even though it had the serial number and all personal information already. I went through MS tech support and fortunately spoke with a very knowledgeable mac user and we traced it down to a permissions problem. He suggested I delete the user name and use the TestName we had created (which had no problems) At the time, I was in the middle of a large video project and I didn't want to do anything that may cause potential problems with it. I finished the project and began another one immediately. In the new project, I had problems with Premiere Pro not recognizing audio in some, not all, clips. I spent days with Adobe tech support and even sent them a sample file. Fast forward to yesterday; it was once again traced to permissions problems. The clip worked under the root user account we (Adobe tech support and I) created.
    So, my question is what is the best way to proceed? It seems apparent that I have to delete a user or figure out how to repair all permissions at once, since I have found files and repaired a few with the one-at-a-time method. Obviously this is time consuming and I don't have that kind of time.
    Should I delete the username and move things to a new username? If so, what are the best steps to prevent any permissions problems? Or is there a way to repair all file permissions through a command in the terminal?
    I can't honestly say I never had any permission problems with the 2008 MBP before, so if by chance there were permisions problems, or any other user related problems, would they have been introduced to this new MBP?
    Thank you in advance for the help! :-)

     About make a copy of /Users/paisleye into /Users/paislWhy am I doing that? Just for backup? Through the remainder of your post, it sounded as if I would only be accessing /Users/paisleye. Did I mis-read something?
    Exactly -- just for backup.  You may notice I'm a little paranoid -- if you have a Time Machine backup, and a SuperDuper/CarbonCopyCloner bootable clone on an external disk, AND a copy in /Users/paisl -- then you've got 3 backups before you start.  :-)  And when you are done you will have the original of /Users/paisleye in /Users/paisl and the original of /Users/test will still be in /Users/test.
    What should happen with the ordering is this:
    -- if a file is in /Users/test but not in /Users/paisleye, then it will copy over into /Users/paisleye with it's current ownership and permissions, which seem to be right.
    -- if a file is in /Users/paisleye but not in /Users/test, then the copy isn't going to fix anything, but it isn't going to hurt anything more, either.  The step where you set ownership of everything in /Users/paisleye to test:staff might just fix all of those problems.
    -- if a file is in /Users/paisleye AND /Users/test, then if the ownership/permissions are right on one and wrong on the other it's probably /Users/test that's good.  The copy (the long complicated tar command) will copy the /Users/test version and it's permissions/ownership overtop the /Users/paisleye version.  If that's not right, there is a backup in /Users/paisl, and on the TimeMachine, and on the clone.
    What's likely is that you are going to have the occasional weird thing happen with some stray file for months/years.  You can always go back and use chown and/or chmod on an individual file to fix it.  (The -R is the "recursive" flag to do a directory and everything underneath.  Leave it out, and it just does one file at a time.)
    I actually ended up with three different accounts on my machine that belong to "me" and had to do this.  (I bought the machine with free Parallels installed, and MacMall created an account called "user" to install it and I had to clean that up when I got it.)  This is not a terrible thing.  One thing that I would recommend if you get it all done and cleaned up and you are happy -- keep the test account, and keep it as an Administrator; then turn off Administrator on the paisleye account.  Then every time you need to do something Administrator, just give the test username/password.  Every so often you will get software that will refuse to install from a non-priv'd account (looking at you adobe!) so just turn on Fast User Switching and log into the test account and install from there.  It just a lot safer if you are not logged in all of the time with privs...
    And this unix stuff isn't hard to get the hang of.  If you half remember something, you can google it and find oodles of excellent documentation.

  • Db2 migration -  /AFI/DIC_ANLA C err  in TSK file

    Hello,
    I am using import_monitor to import tables in to Db6 using r3load and all tables completed except SAPAPPLO and SAPAPPL1. The following is the error from the log file
    Could not deactivate CLI LOAD.
    (IMP) ERROR: ExeFastload: rc = 2
    (DB) INFO: disconnected from DB
    /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/R3load: job finished with 1 error(s)
    In TSK,  I found the following
    T /AFI/DIC_ANLA C err
    I tried to restart it and it gave the following  error
    dsql_exec_immediate returned DS_DBOBJECTEXISTS
    (DB) INFO: disconnected from DB
    Any help on this ?
    This is on Db2, Linux and migration DB from oracle to  DB6.  I have been testing this on our sand box to figure out timing issue.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    You have to follow this notes
    Note 1317905 - DB6: SQL0964C Transaction log full when using LOAD API
    Before you start import again on the table /AFI/DIC_ANLA using R3load, drop the table manually and change the respective table in *.TSK file status err to xeq. And run again R3load import command manually.
    Note 1068806 - DB6: TRUNCATE TABLE command delivers SQL3007C
