[EA2] Migration from Designer to Datamodeler

Hi,
I'm planning to migrate our current Designer 10g-Repository to DataModeler 3.0 EA2.
The current repository contains about yyyy objects, which is a number lots too big to check manually.
It is very important, that no information will be "lost" in the migration project, neither new information which didn't exist in the Designer-Repository will be added.
What I'm looking for is a way to compare the new and old repository automatically.
Actually, I've thought about two different approaches to perform this check:
1) Generate DDL-Scripts from within Designer and Data Modeler to compare them via an external Diff-Tool
2) Avoid using the direct Designer-Import in Data Modeler, instead create DDL-Scripts in Designer and import them into Data Modeler, finally use the DDL-Export-function in Data Modeler to generate another DDL script, which represents the imported objects in Data Modeler. At last, they have to be compared via the Diff-Tool.
Is there any other or better way to solve the problem with comparing the input and output?
Thanks in advance,
tensai

Martin,
In a previous post you can find the following information: (Re: 11G compatibility
Designer 10.1.2.5 is certified with an 11.1.0.6 DB
You can get it to work with an 11.1.0.7 DB but you have to use the imp/exp tools from 11.1.0.6
Designer is not certified with and 11R2 db.
After upgrading the repository from 6i to 10gR2, there were some differences in the forms generated in 6i and 10gR2. So after upgrading you have to test your forms to see if they are working still the same.

Migrating from Designer 1.3 (not 1.3.2) to 6i

I downloaded from technet the package to migrate from 1.3.2, but didn't get good results.
I followed the instruction on chapter 2 of the file (that became a CD after de-zipped).
I installed the application on a NT4 with Oracle Server 7.3.4 and Designer 1.3 without problems.
After that i followed instruction on CD performing a full user export (repository owner) and reimport from the admin utility of des 1.3, but in that phase i got some errors.
At this point i tryed to launch the upgrade of the repository from the admin utility of designer 6.0 (the version that is on the cd) but the application will fail 2 or 3 seconds after i started it.
I suspect there are problems with sql net or sqlplus 8.0.5 because in the dos windows that opens i can see that SQL Plus 8.0.5 is invoked, but the window closes istantaneosly and there is noway to watch the error messages reported.
I tryed to start SQL Plus 8.0.5 from the admin utility and it starts using the repository owner account without connect string specification as i normally do with SQL Plus 3.3.
There are no log (.lis or .log files) in wich i can watch the error.
If possible write me also directly to my mail [email protected]
Thanks in advance
Simone

Open a dos window. Enter plus80 then the username/password and connect string and ensure you can connect to the database. If not fix this by correcting the tnsnames entry.

Migration from Designer 6.0 to 9i

Hi, all!
May be somebody knows it or can help me to find this information in metalink:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO MIGRATE FROM ORACLE DESIGNER 6.0 TO ORACLE DESIGNER 9i???

Hi, all!
May be somebody knows it or can help me to find this
information in metalink:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO MIGRATE FROM ORACLE DESIGNER 6.0 TO
ORACLE DESIGNER 9i???Yes, you can migrate from Oracle Designer 6.0 to Oracle9i Designer. There is an extensive Migration Guide available on OTN that I recommend you read. The guide is under the Designer Collateral (http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/Collateral.htm#Migration)
There are two guides, one for Migrating from 6.0 to 6i and the second from 6.0 to 9i. These are essentially the same as there is no significant difference between 6i and 9i Designer.

Migration from Designer 6i to Designer 10gR2

Hi,
my customer has a productivity environment of the Designer 6i repository. We are also generating Forms 6i modules with the Designer 6i Forms Generator.

Which scenario of migration is to choose ?
I want to migrate without change, upgrade the current productivity environment.
First of all have i to migrate the Designer from 6i to 10gR2 if i only want migrate the database version from 8i to 11gR2 ?
Many Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Martin

Migration from Designer: wrong alias for used table/view in views

Hello,
I am using SQL DM version 3.3.0.744.
when importing a view from Designer, a query is build with aliases for the used tables/views which are the same as the table/view name. When using a where clause in Designer, you refer to the alias of the table/view, like t1.col1= t2.cola. Here t1 and t2 are the aliases of the underlying tables.
In Designer the following DDL is generated:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW VIEW5
(COL2
,COL1)
AS SELECT T2.COLA COL2
,T1.COL1 COL1
FROM TAB2 T2
,TAB1 T1
WHERE t1.col1= t2.cola
After importing the view in Data Modeler, the following DDL is generated:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW VIEW5 ( COL2,
COL1 )
AS SELECT
TAB2.COLA COL2,
TAB1.COL1 COL1
FROM
TAB2 TAB2,
TAB1 TAB1
WHERE
t1.col1= t2.cola ;
So by using the wrong alias, the where clause is invalid and the query builder doesn't show the joins.
The solution for this is to use the alias of the used table/view instead of the table/view name. Can you raise a bug for this?
Thanks in advance,
Joop

Thanks for your time. I did all possible way, but still the same problem. I mean
EXP 8... IMP 8
EXP 8... IMP 9
EXP 9... IMP 9
Today I found that, NLS_LANG of two databases are different. Oracle 8i is : WE8ISO8859P1
AND Oracle9i is : WE8MSWIN1252
So I created a new database from scratch with Oracle 8i character set :WE8ISO8859P1 and then use imp9i to import the file. Still the same problem.
Thanks,
Arash

Migration from Designer 5.5 to 5.7 - problems

Hello,
I am new on this forum - I decided to signup and maybe find a solution to my problem.
We were using in our company Adobe Designer 5.5 for creation of product labels. Recently we expanded to another location and purchased Adobe Designer 5.7 to produce labels.
The problem is that during opening of old *.IFD files we got following messages:
We are using HP 9050 and Zebra 140 for printing and old version of Designer - 5.5 - each time we opened a label that was meant to be print on a different type of printer asked us only if we want to change to the new printer, or revert to recently used one.
This messages about coversion of fonts and barcodes are new for us and our doubt is that if we perform the conversion barcodes and fonts will not be readable. I know that there are config files for both fonts and barcodes but it is not very clear to me how to proceed in order to get exactly the same result in 5.7 as it was in 5.5. I guess simple copy of config files will not work.
I know this may seem silly question for IT tech but right now we do not have IT support in our new division.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Terki
Every time you open Output Designer it will remember the printer driver (aka Presentment Target) from last session. In your case the Designer opens with driver 'hp9000' loaded. The template you are trying to open has been saved with driver 'zplz140'. Usually you would not get the first error message but rather an option to accept the change of driver or to revert to the original driver. I guess the reason you don't get this is that your Output Designer 5.7 has not been installed with driver 'zplz140'. There is a new set of Zebra drivers available so I guess this is the situation.
You should check your Presentment Targets to see which drivers are available. In my attachment you will see that I have installed 3 legacy drivers for the very reason that we have many templates created with earlier versions of the Designer i.e. with drivers such as 'zplz140'.
You have two options:
install the 'zplz140' driver by running the Designer install
start the Designer and change to one of the new Zebra drivers such as 'zplii300'. Make sure this driver has all the fonts you want to use. Now you can open your template and accept the change to a new driver
Hope this helps

4.1 EA2 Migration from SQLServer: can't change schema name?

I try to convert a SQL Server database to Oracle.
As I wanted to insert into an existing schema (with not the same name as on SQL Server) I followed this guideline:
A SQL Developer ... @dermotoneill: Migrate to Existing Oracle Users
I first captured the source and then tried to Convert the naming.
but the tab does not exist:
(you can see it really is showing pre-captured data as I can select the "Show only data types used in source model" checkbox)
Is there a new way now how to map the schema?
thank you,
Martin

Hi Martin,
That object naming page has been removed from the migration wizard.
The functionality is now available in the object migration report.
Its easier to work with the report as you can filter and order the objects based on your requirements.
In this case you can just show the OBJECT_TYPE='SCHEMA'.
So the steps are.
1) Capture and Convert you source database
2) Open the Object report (left click on the "Converted Database Objects" node) and change the SCHEMA objects TARGET_OBJECT_NAME to your desired target name. Commit changes.
3) Translate and Generate the Oracle database (right click on the "Converted Database Objects" node)

URGENT - Migrating from 9i to 10g designer

Hi All,
I have installed new repository for Designer 10g (10.1.2.0.2) and
I have started Migration from Designer 9i (9.0.2.80.10).
I have error message from ckrau61 with cause:
"No Designer Repository has been detected.
Please check connection details and try again".
I have checked TNSNAMES.ORA and haven't found any error. Other
software works with old repository (9i) and i have checked the TNSNAMES.ORA on the server and not on the client ... Oracle is trying to build a db link and it is tested ok.
The Migration from 9i is not supported in 10g?
Help-me!!!!
Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.

You do not have to install a new Repository and "migrate" your data to upgrade from Designer 9i to Designer 10g. You just install the 10g Designer client, connect to your existing 9i Repository and "upgrade" it to 10g.
Please refer to the "Upgrading a Release 6i, 9i, or 10g Repository" section in the Repository Installation Guide for complete details.

Problems when trying to migrate from 6.0 to 6i

Hi,
I'm having problems when trying to migrate a Designer 6.0 application to 6i.
When I get to start the migration after having selected the source application, the process fails immediately after I've pressed the button.
I'm getting the error: CDR-21244: This process has been aborted and the advice to check the log file. But no log file is created.
I've read Note 234984.1 which gives two suggestions in this situation: That the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is unset, and that the LOG_DIRECTORY_RAU directory is writeable. Both is fulfilled in my situation. However it seems that the migration procedure tries to start imp - I've noticed a short flash with the command prompt screen - and when I try to start imp manually from the command prompt I get errors. I was able to fix this error by setting ORACLE_HOME and ORA_NLS33. But the defining ORACLE_HOME is "illegal" ref. Note 234984.1. Of course I tried to leave it anyway, but that didn't help neither: The migration still dies a quick and silent dead.
So now I'm stucked. How can I carry on?
The source is on version 6.0.3.5.0 running on 8.1.5, and the taget is version 6.5.92.1.9 running on 8.1.7.4.
Regards, Michael

The migration from Designer 6.0 to 6i requires careful planning. Please read the migration guide on OTN (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/index.html) for advice and to assist you with the migration.

Tools for converting from Designer 1.x to 6?

I am about to work for a client that would like to convert their data model from Oracle Designer version 1.3 to version 6. They, of course, have both logical and physical models defined in the tool. They do not use Designer to create triggers or stored procedures, but they do store business rules in the repository (I'm not sure where. . .). The business rules serve as documentation for business analysts.
Is Oracle Designer upwardly compatible from version 1? That is, will I be able to open the version 1 model with version 6 software? If not, are there tools that I might use to perform the transition?
Thanks for the help,
Tom

Tom,
For a technical migration from designer 1 to designer 6.0, there is extensive documentation in the 6.0 product how to do this. Your repostitory information will be available in designer 6 once you upgraded. If you used Headstart for designer 1.3.2, take a look at the Headstart migration issues for migration your template package (info can be found on OTN,(http://technet.oracle.com/products/headstart/)
. If you want to migrate your business logic, you might want to take a look at the CDM RuleFrame option (whitepapers available on the website), a powerfull way to model and implement business logic in the server (with transaction level validation, no more mutating table problems etc.)

Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?

Hi there,
1. Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?
2. When we deploy these workflows - does IIS need a restart?
Thank you.

That depends, did you create reusable workflows? Those can be deployed to another environment (of course depending on dependencies within the workflow itself)
Kind regards,

EA2 - MacOSX - Settings not migrated from 1.5

When I downloaded and launched 2.1, it did not migrate my settings (connections, snippets, etc.) from 1.5.1. I can't find a way to import them manually. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

K., your suggestion did bring up the migration dialog but it did not show any available SQL Developer installations to migrate from.
To work around this, I copied the contents of the old preferences location into the new:
cp -r ~/Library/Application Support/SQL Developer/* ~/.sqldeveloper
Then relaunching v2.1 allowed me select the old version to import. There is definitely an issue here that needs to be addressed. Why was the preferences location moved for this version?
Thanks for all the suggestions and quick replies, and especially for developing SQL Developer and keeping it free.

How best to migrate from MacPro to iMac w/ SSD and extrenal drives

Currently I have a MacPro with 4 drives - 3 1TB and 1 2Tb, the 2TB drive is my main hard drive, so it has system, apps, documents, itunes etc....and it has been upgraded and migrated from one computer to the next as long as apple has had the ability to do so (and before that by moving over targeted drive manually). I currently am running 10.6.8 on the machine. I have ordered a new iMac w/ an internal 512gb SSD drive, and after speaking with an Apple rep, I got a THunderbolt enclosure to house my current 4 hard drives. Now my question is how best to get my preferences etc into the new computer w/o dragging along all the old stuff...(ie old apps not compatible w/ Mountain Lion, old system folders, etc). Here is what I would like to do:
1. setup SSD with OS, fresh installs of Apps, and my fonts (i am a designer and i have a gazillion fonts and they always take way to long to load into my font app).
2. I would like my 2TB drive to eventually just include my home directory where all my files, and such will be stored. But I would like to keep the drive as is to make sure everything is working just in case, I dont want to have any down time during the upgrade process (ie if a client calls me and needs something while I am still setting up I could boot off the 2tb drive and work). But after all is working properly then I would like to make it just the home directory and main place for all files etc
3. My remaining 3 drives are broken up for manual backups of my work on 2 of the drives, and then photos and mp3s on one, and movies and tv shows from itunes on the other. I dont currently run Time Machine or Retrospect or RAID....
I see most people saying to create 2 admin accounts, one that would stay on the SSD drive and the other which could be mapped to the 2TB drive and have its home directory there...but what do I do about moving preferences etc? is there a way when setting up that will let me import my current account and let me keep it on the external drive as is? should i move the files that i want to keep off the 2tb drive, wipe it to get rid of the old apps and system and then put back the home directory??I don't want to run into trouble with permissions, and I really dont even want to create 2 accounts because I hate having to close everything and log out for simple installs and updates...i have 2 on my macbook pro now and i run into errors all the time of i cant update this or that because of admin account...even though both accounts are set as admin.
I want to keep the whole upgrade simple, but I would like to keep this fresh system clean as am sure there is way to much left over garbage from upgrades past. So just not sure how best to do any of it.....

I purchased the DataTale RS-M4t SMART 4-Bay Thunderbolt RAID storage enclosure. But it can do both RAID if you get their data manager software download, or it can just mount the drives and be used normally. So basically I can plug all 4 of my current drives into it...and it into my iMac and it will be same as if I had it in my tower....so really not moving over a ton of stuff. I will load all apps fresh onto the brand new iMac - so the SSD will be a clean install...my worries are trying to get access to home directories etc on the current main drive and have things get setup correctly, keychains, bookmarks, etc...as well as my iTunes which has iPad and iPhone backups, etc. I am just not sure as how to best setup the SSD to get the most of its speed while being able to get my current account working but on the second external drive.

Post Migration from SP2010 -Attach File Button not working in any list new/edit forms

In the browser Dev Tools its showing an error message as "Cannot read Property style of null".
This is happening on a javascript (form.debug.js) on line No : 5276
(document.getElementById("partAttachment")).style.display = "block";
There is no element rendered in html with id "partAttachment",which is causing this error to happen.
Solutions tried are
1) Modified the List Advanced Settings to disable and enable the attachments ,which did not work
2) Ran the Sharepoint Configuration wizard which did not fix
3)Tried reset the site definition for all pages in the site from site settings
4) Deactivated and activated all the activated features in the site collection
Its an OOB List New Form,no customizations has been done.
Similar error occurring with List Edit form as well
