Drop EM Repository 1.x without migrating it

I am running Oracle 9i 9.2.0.8 database. The repository tables exist in two application schemas and the system schema. I recently inherited this database. The sysman schema does not exist. I think it is an Enterprise Manager repository because the tables start with EVT_ and SMP_ I just want to remove the EM repository tables, views, etc.
I read in the documentation that EM Configuration Assistant cannot upgrade or drop a 1.x repository. It must be migrated using EM Migration Assistant first. I verified this in EM configuration assistant. It shows no repositories to drop.
How can I drop a 1.x repository without going through the migration to 2.2 and then dropping it?

I did find another schema owner that had the 1.x repository objects only. Then I wrote a query to find the matched objects between my application schema and the repository-only schema. I deleted the matched objects from my application schema. Then I dropped the repository-only schema.
I found a command to drop a 1.x repository from a version 8 database:
$ORACLE_HOME\bin\vobsh -c "userid/pw@sid" -o drop -p "Enterprise Manager"
but that command does not exist on my server. So, the manual technique works well enough.

How do I transfer my home folder to my server without migration assistant?

I am having a hard time migrating my user folder to my mini. My wife is the first user account, but I want to put my account on there as well. Without migration assistant, I am not sure how to do it?
The Apple Genius guy told me to just copy my home folder to the "users" folder on the mini,
then go to "system pref's" and "create a new user that "exactly matches the name on my copied data, especially the short name.
At this point it is supposed to ask me if I want to "link" the accounts and I say yes, however, I can't get to this point.
Everytime I try to copy the home folder over, I can't drop it in the user folder. If I try to copy to the desktop or other folder only some data will transfer. It is obviously a permissions issues. I have selected my user folder, "get info" and I "applied to enclosed items" but I am not familiar with permissions like this. I remember the "ignore permissions" option.
So there ya go? How would you guys do this?

The permissions associated with the Users folder are those of the admin user. I suggest you try using the Terminal in your Utilities folder. You should first boot the computer into the main admin account. The command line would look something like this:
sudo cp -a /Users/useraccount /Volumes/volname/Users/useraccount
Press RETURN. Enter admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen. Substitute your account name for useraccount, and the name of the mounted drive on the Mini to which you want to copy your user account for volname.
The above command will copy your Home folder into the /Users/ folder on the other computer. Now, there may be a better solution for you, but you haven't told us about the other computer from which you are trying to migrate. If both computers have Firewire ports then there is an easier and faster solution.

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary. I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?

dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now.

Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now. I am currently running 1.3.0.20 and I have enough to do with also needing to upgrade my wlc to 7.4.121.0 and getting the MSE up to 7.4.121.0 without having to stand up a new server if I don't have to. Please share any information you have in regards to your experience with coming from a version 1.2-1.3 small ovf and going to 2.1.
Thanks,
Andrew

You are better off standing up a new server. It's cleaner and safer..... you can always try to upgrade if you wish, but if things don't work out well, then you just wasted a lot of time. Snapshot the VM and export the floor plans, just in case. The ova is built around the DB size, so I don't know how well the DB will perform if you try to expand memory or drive space after an upgrade.

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Drop em repository is taking very long in 11.1.0.7

i am configuring oracle enterprise manager in 11.1.0.7
i did try to create repository and got some errors.
now i am dropping repository and it is taking very long.
please tell me how to speed up this drop repository process .

Hi,
Please provide the output of:
tail -50 /opt/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/cfgtoollogs/emca/TEST1/emca_repos_drop_2013_07_28_15_35_01.log
If you wish to configure EM, it is mandatory you create a password file. Type "orapwd" to get the complete syntax:
Typically you create like:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=secret entries=5
If you have created the password file successfully then the following query should give you and output:
select * from v$pwfile_users;
After that please try re-creating the EM.
Hope this helps!

Migrate planning application without migrating Provisioning information

Hi,
Is it possible to migrate just Planning application and other Hyperion objects without provisioning information. which we can assign as per new requirement.
will it work or need to migrate provisioning information first then we can change later as per our requirement.
This time MSAD Provider should connect with different host.
Please advice.

I understand that planning application contain provisioning information of Planning application in shared services and should be migrated along with Planning.
My question was:
Is it possible to migrate planning application only and then i should able to either re provisioning everything from scratch for migrated planning as we had bad experience with existing provisioning.
though i have seen some option of update/delete in CSSImport (importexport.properties)
please advice.

Store Multi Byte Characters in WE8ISO8859P1 Database without Migration

Hi - I am looking for a solution where I can store the Multi Byte Character's under the WE8ISO8859P1 Database.
Below are the DB NLS_PARAMETERS
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = BYTE
Size of DB = 2 TB.
DB Version = 11.2.0.4
Currently there is a need to store the Chinese Characters under NAME and ADDRESS Columns only. Below are the description of the columns.
Column Name DataType
GIVEN_NAME_ONE
VARCHAR2(120 BYTE)
GIVEN_NAME_TWO
VARCHAR2(120 BYTE)
LAST_NAME
VARCHAR2(120 BYTE)
ADDR_LINE_ONE
VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
ADDR_LINE_TWO
VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
ADDR_LINE_THREE
VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
What are my option's over here without considering the Migration WE8ISO8859P1 DB to AL32UTF8 ?
1. Can I increase the size of the Column i.e make it n x 4. e.g NAME will be 480 Byte and ADDRESS will be 400 Byte.? What are pros and cons ?
2. Convert the existing Column from VARCHAR2 to NVARCHAR2 with the Same Size ? i.e NVARCHAR2(120 BYTE) ?
3. Add the extension to an table with new columns - NVARCHAR2. e.g NAME - NVARCHAR2(120 CHAR) and ADDRESS (100 - CHAR) ?
4. Database got Clobs,Blobs, Long etc. got Varied Data, Is it a good idea to Migrate to AL32UTF8 with Minimal Downtime ?
Please suggest the best alternatives. Thanks.
Thanks
Jitesh

Hi Jitesh,
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET can either be AL16UTF16 or UTF8. So mostly your DB would have UTF8.
You can definitely insert Unicode characters into N-type columns. Size of the N-type column will depend on the characters you plan to store in them.
If you use N-types, do make sure you use the (N'...') syntax when coding it so that Literals are denoted as being in the national character set by prepending letter 'N'.
Although you can use them, N-types are not very well supported in 3the party client/programming environments, you may need to adapt a lot of code to use N-types properly and there are some limitations.
While at first using N-types for a (few) columns seems like a good idea to avoid the conversion of a whole database , in many cases the end conclusion is that changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET is simply the easiest and fastest way to support more languages in an Oracle database.
So, It depends on how much of your data will be unicode which you would store in N-type characters.
If you do have access to My Oracle Support you can check Note 276914.1 :The National Character Set ( NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET ) in Oracle 9i, 10g , 11g and 12c, For more details.
With respect to your Downtime, The actual conversion (CSALTER or in case using DMU) shouldn't take too much time, if you have run CSSCAN on your DB and made sure you have taken care of all your truncation, convertible and lossy data (if any).
It would be best for you to run CSSCAN initially to gauge how much convertible/lossy/truncation data you need to take care.
$ CSSCAN FROMCHAR=WE8ISO8859P1 TOCHAR=AL32UTF8 LOG=P1TOAl32UTF8 ARRAY=1000000 PROCESS=2 CAPTURE=Y FULL=Y

11.1.1.3 Dropping users from groups during EPMA migration

Gurus,
I'm migrating shared services between environments as part of a 16-step migration process using LCM. I'm using MSAD users and Native groups. Groups migrate, but the users drop out. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!!

I have not trusted LCM with migrating the Shared Services Security in an 11.1.1.3 environment. I stick with the css import/export utility. You can find it on the Shared Services server in the following directory ([Drive]:\Hyperion\common\utilities\CSSImportExportUtility). There is documentation on how to use and samples in the zip file.
Good Luck!

Error in Migration Repository using Sql*Developer Migration Workbench

To migrate a MS access mdb database to Oracle using Sql*Developer Migration Workbench, I try to create first the the Migration Repository in SQL*Developer.
The repository is created, but under PACKAGES I could see that package MD_META has been compiled with errors.
PACKAGE BODY AO_PERSONAL.MD_META@DMCAPX (AO_PERSONAL):
Error(27,2): PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Error(30,23): PL/SQL: ORA-00904: : ungültiger Bezeichner
Well, when I ignore this and continue with the next step of the migration process "Capture Microsoft Access Exported XML file" to create the Captured Model, I get the following error message:
ORA-04063: package body "AO_PERSONAL.MD_META" enthält Fehler ORA-06508: PL/SQL: aufgerufene Programmeinheit : "AO_PERSONAL.MD_META" konnte nicht gefunden werden ORA-06512: in "AO_PERSONAL.MD_PROJECTS_TRG", Zeile 3 ORA-04088: Fehler bei der Ausführung von Trigger 'AO_PERSONAL.MD_PROJECTS_TRG'
Target database RDBMS is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0. So the proposal of note 427916.1 to create the Repository in a 10.2 RDBMS does not solve the problem.
I even tried to use the Quick Migrate feature in SQL*Developer, but got the same error message.

"inserted value too large for column"
Is there a LOGON trigger on the database or user ?
I'd be surprised at SQL Developer trying to insert data into anything on connect.
I'd suspect code being executed by the database, maybe using a MODULE or PROGRAM from v$session or USERENV / SYS_CONTEXT.

Tips for Restoring Without Migration Assistant?

I'm upgrading my HD this week and looking for a humane way to restore my data without using Migration Assistant, used for the past five restorations...corrupt files and all. I long for a fresh start but dread the old, tedious method of restoring data by hand. Is there an easier way? If not is there a guide for what settings files I can safely bring over and what to avoid? I'll have a bootable SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner backup.

I'm actually with you 100% on this baltwo. There really is very little that can't be resolved with a fresh reinstall of Snow Leopard's default installation. So the options are as follows starting with the easiest and progressing to the more difficult:
A. Clone the legacy OS & User Accounts back over to the new drive, followed by a default SL Install + Software Update to freshen the OS if so desired.
B. Install the OS and use Migration Assistant to restore all User Accounts and Applications.
C. Install the OS and use Migration Assistant to restore ONLY user data (Photos, Music, Videos, Documents, etc...). Followed by reinstalling all 3rd-party apps and manually configuring all previous settings (i.e preferences & networking).
D. Install the OS and manually moving only desired user data and reinstalling all 3rd-party apps and manually configuring all previous settings (NOTE: This option is reserved for only the most extreme circumstances as it involves a serious commitment of time and introduces the potential for permissions issue when trying to integrate legacy user data with a virgin user account).
Like baltwo, I have never had to perform options D, and option C perhaps only once. My user accounts, and all of their data, have successfully been migrated across some 5 Macs since the option to do so was introduced. I believe I still have some data within my primary user account that was generated back in the OS 8 & 9 days.
Rest assured, when problems arise they are rarely the result of data found within your user account and are more likely the result of corrupt OS or App files. As a result I have never hesitated to migrate my complete user account over when I upgraded my Mac. OS Software and Apps may come and go, but my user account is rock solid and completely portable with the help of Migration Assistant. I think baltwo would agree.

Migrating without Migration Assistant

I installed something or some program that kept causing shutdowns of my iMac. Archive & reinstall couldn't fix it. And since I'm no pro at reading Console logs I couldn't figure out what it was. So I decided it was about time I did a full reinstall of 10.5 anyway. Thought it might speed things up to not have all that program clutter.
So, are there any guides out there on how to migrate without the migration assistant? That way I can possibly keep my iTunes Library files without having to re-rate and organize everything? How about Mail and Stickies and iPhoto? Is it as simple as moving the old files to the same place they were in?
I'm afraid using the Migration assistant on anything might bring over whatever was troubling me.

I used the migration assistant and unchecked the applications. The transfer went smoothly enough but my horrid restart problems have begun again! See my other post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1950807&tstart=0
I can only imagine that this means the root of this problem was not in my applications but in my preferences or network settings?
HELP!

Drag and drop text to Pages doc without formatting

Pages '06 allowed me to 'drag and drop' text from another application into a cell in a Pages table, without disturbing cell formatting. i.e. the text would lose all its own styles, and take on those set for the cell. This is just the same as using the Edit item 'Paste and Match Style', but avoids several intermediate steps. This doesn't work in Pages '08, so my question is:
Is there a modifier key or some other way of setting Pages '08 to work the old way?
I would also like to do the same thing into main body text, but even Pages '06 wouldn't do that -- not for me, anyway. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

What you can do is right-click on your selected text, choose "Copy" from the contextual menu, then go to the app where you want to paste the text and right-click again, choosing "Paste and Match Style" from that contextual menu.......no keyboarding involved, no modifier keys.
