DDL Generation/Conversion Tools

I am looking for a DDL generation tool, preferably command line, that can convert DDL of one RDBMS to another - say DDL of Oracle schema/table to MySQL/SQL Server & vice-versa. I have reviewed Oracle's SQL Developer - its DDL generation is one way MySQL to Oracle, SQL Server to Oracle etc.
I would prefer a general-purpose DDL conversion tool/utility if one exists! Also, is there a way to use GGs DDLGEN for this ? I have explored this a bit but it seems all conversions are from Tandem DDL to DDL of various RDBMS.
Thanks,
Satish

Satish,
You can use DDLGEN to perform some basic DDL between systems but you'll likely need to make modifications to the .tpl file. Otherwise you may want to look into some other paid tools on the market.
Good luck,

  • Problem when execute report Conversion Tool XI 3.0 on a client

    Hi everyone,
    When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.
    I believe that RCT can not open the document to migrate.
    All it's OK when I use RCT since the Webi Server.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I have install all the client tool (even SDK, Query Web Service) except Assitant migration source de données, Gestionnaires Vues d'entreprise et Gestionnaire de traduction.
    I think I have a problem of rights on my Windows 2003 Server because in the log of conversion (C:Documents and SettingsUtilisateurLocal SettingsTempconversionUSER146731693logsD30860242.xml)
    the following lines are written :
    Note that I do the conversion with the Administrator login.

  • Report Conversion Tool - problem with logging in table OBJ_G_MIGRATION

    Hello Community-Members,
    since several days I am searching different BO-Communities for a solution, but I didn't find any threats about my problem.
    I am new to BO XI R3.1 and I want to convert deski-reports with the report conversion tool.
    I tried it directly on the server-machine and all is ok (report is converted inclusive the logging in the audit-table OBJ_G_MIGRATION).
    When I try it on my client-machine, the conversion is made successfully, but there is no result in the audit-table.
    On the client-machine, I use the same connection like on the server machine and on both machines, I am logged on (in the report conversion tool) with the "Administrator"-user.
    Has anyone an idea? Could it be a problem of user-rights in the Oracle-DB?
    kind regards
    Guenny

    Hello Denis,
    thank you for your reply.
    From my client machine I can successfully test the connection to the Audit-DB. With non BO-Tools like "SQL Tools1.4.1" I can also connect to that DB.
    After your reply I have tested once again and I have found something else strange.
    If I convert a deski-report, and the conversion-status is "not converted", the Audit-DB is written (for example: error-text = "document cannot be read" / workaround = "remove protection password if set").
    But when I convert the same report together with an other report, which will result in "partially converted", nothing is written to the Audit-DB (same effect as when I convert only reports with status "partially convertet").
    regards
    Guenny

    Hi Raghu,
        Try this idea: run it on server. Other user suggest the Windows version as the reason. if does not run, reinstall the Tool, maybe something is corrupted.

  • Upgrade from ICM 6 to 7 (TR) -- Domain conversion tool / UMT

    Hi, we are currently upgrading from 6 to 7.0 and subsequently to 7.5 (TR, new hardware, new domain, new instance).  So far we've staged our W2k3 domain and all the other soon to be ICM servers.
    I'm currently trying to migrate the domain users and it tells me that I need to use the Domain Conversion Tool to go migrate the domain users from 6 to 7. (Staging guide chpter 4)
    I can't find any documentation on the Domain Conversion Tool, when I run the executable I can see the different triggers (below) but that's it.
    I've done an export and gotten a file but what next?
    Do I do a convert now?
    is the convert going to change my production database?
    I'm also reading that the Domain Conversion Tool was replaced by the UMT (for 7.0 to 7.+).
    Or should I now use the UMT and point it to my export file?
    Im afraid to run the convert and and messing up my Rogger sideA database?
    Has anybody use this tool?
    any tips and or documentation is appreciated.  Thanks
    D:\ciscoutils\domainCnvTool>domcvt
    The syntax of this command is:
    DomCvt.exe /DB:dbname /F:filename /M:mode [/OD:old domain name]
              [/ND:new domain name][/P:password]
       /DB:dbname           Specifies the database name to operate on (e.g. cust1_sideA)
       /F:filename          Specifies the full path of the file to import or export to
       /M:mode              Indicates export mode or convert mode
                             E  Export mode
                             C  Convert mode
    The following switches are only needed in Convert Mode:
       /OD:old domain name  Specifies the old domain name to convert from in NetBIOS form (e.g. MyDomain)
       /ND:new domain name  Specifies the new domain name to convert to in NetBIOS form (e.g. MyDomain) or DNS form (e.g. MyDomain.mycompany.com)
       /P:password          Specifies the default password to be set for all the users in the new domain
    Use quotation marks when there are spaces in the file name or password

    Hi,
    From the 7.x(y) Staging Guide:　
    Common Steps Required before Migrating any ICM ComponentOn the Domain Controllers:
    Confirm that Domain Controllers have been upgraded from NT Domain to Windows 2000Active DirectoryOn the CallRouter Server:
    　\RouterA\Router\CurrentVersion\Configuration\Global\DBMaintenance.
    Note:
    If moving a CICM with SideA and SideB disable the Configuration changes on bothsides.
    On the Logger server:　
    Copy the Domain Conversion Tool (DomCvt.exe) from the ICM 5.0(0) or ICM 6.0(0) Third-PartyTools CD as applicable (Domain Conversion Utility folder) onto the Logger server.
    Export the ICM user list using the DomCvt tool using the following command:
    domcvt /DB:<instancename>_sideA /F:c:\DomConvert\userlist.txt /M:E.
    And then lower down in the guide:
    On the Logger server:
    Step 18
    Run the Domain Conversion Tool to convert the ICM users exported earlier, using the followingcommand:
    domcvt /DB: <instance_name>_sideA /F:c:\DomConvert\userlist.txt /M:C /OD:<old_domain_netbios_name> /ND: <new_domain_netbios_name>Note: You can use the /p option to create a global password. If you do not use the /p option,the password is reset to null.
    I'm looking to run this myself shortly. The only caveat with this info is that its extracted from the section related to ICM5 and migration from multiple to single forest ... so possibly not the correct info. However, there's not much documentation on this as you've seen!

    Have you installed the RCT on the server hosting the CMS service or via a client? I have had this problem myself and resolved it by installing / working directly on the server.
    Hope this helps...

    Anyone know of any FREE database conversion tools?

    It's not a tool, but you might find Microsoft's documentation helpful.  You might also post this question in a Microsoft SQL Server specific forum.

    Hi Garry,
    This could be because you asked it not to generate objects on a previous DDL Generation. When you do your DDL Generation, a "DDL Generation Options" panel is displayed. This has various tabs (Tables, PK and UK Constraints, etc.). I suggest you open these tabs and check that the "Selected" tick-boxes for the relevant objects are set.
    If this doesn't help, please can you check whether there are any relevant error messages in your log file (this is normally the file datamodeler.log in the folder datamodeler\datamodeler\log).

  • Which conversion tools used in Sales, Shipment, Invoce, and other.....

    Guys,
    I know in general that best conversion tool for Customer Master is LSMW. What about the rest of the data to be converted to SAP such as Material Master, Sales, Shipment, Invoice and other historical data? Which tools do we use for these? Do we use LSMW again?
    Thank you.

    HI,
    Yes LSMW can be used and you can also use CATTS to migrate data from Legacy system to SAP.

  • Report conversion tool--Can we modify the query

    Hi all,
    I have some freehand SQL reports converted into WebI reports. I understand that report conversion tool, creates a new universe for each of the freehand SQL report. But if I try to edit the query, like add a filter condition, an error pops out.
    Is it possible to edit the query if we convert freehand sql reports into webi reports?
    Regards
    Ash.

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to edit the query for the converted free hand sql query.
    If you see any problem while editing the SQL of the converted report, do a refresh once and try.
    Adding query filter also works fine.
    Issue from your end could also be due to security settings.i advise to revisit the security once and make sure all appropriate rights are available for the user.
    Thanks,
    Sri

  • DDL generation - sequence of views

    Hello,
    I'm using several cascading database views. After DDL generation the sequence of the views in the script is not correct for database creation, so the script has to be adjusted before running.
    Is there are way to define dependencies between views as a hint for DDL generation?
    Regards Dirk

    Hi David,
    my Datamodeler version is 3.1.2.704.
    In a simple test with 1 table and 3 cascading views it worked for an Oracle generation, but I use SQLServer and SQLServer (2000 and 2005) DDL generation uses alphabetical order of view names.
    It is the same with the new 3.3.0.734 version.
    On the other hand some of the SQLServer views loaded into the model from data dictionary are too complex to be opened by the query editor, so dependencies may not be recognized.
    So I hoped a manual hint would be possible.
    Regards Dirk
