Export from 8.1.7 and import to 10g

Hi, I'm currently working on 8.1.7 on Solaris and need to migrate to 10g on Windows. I tried to use export and import utilities. I tried two different ways but all failed. Just wondering is there anybody can give me some more ideas about this:
1. In SQL*PLUS on 10g, I tried to export the table via remote access:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0>expdp username/password@remote_db content=all directory=dpdump dumpfile=dpdump:test.dmp logfile=test_exp.log tables=test_table schemas=test_schema ;

2. I tried to export the table on 8.1.7, FTP the dump file to 10g, and then tried to import to 10g:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0>impdp username/password directory=dpdump dumpfile=test.dmp logfile=test.log

Any input will be appreciated!!!

Hi,
If we refer to the Oracle doc, it's depend of your 10g release.<br>
Into Upgrade Paths 10.2, you need to upgrade your 8i firstly in 8.1.7.4.<br>
Into Upgrade Paths 10.1, you you can directly migrate.<br>
Anyway, you need to use 8iexp utility, and 10g imp utility : Using Different Releases of Export and Import 10.1 or Using Different Releases of Export and Import 10.2.<br>

  • Export from 8i / 2000 server and import into 10g/ linux(centos)

    we are trying to migrate from 8i/ 2000 server to 10g/centos
    We exported source database( 8i / 2000 server),
    could you suggest accepted step by step procedure for this exp/impdp.
    i prefer imp rather than impdp while going for upward migration ( ie 8i to 10g)
    please offer your suggestions.

    please offer your suggestions.Using imp/exp is not so hard so you can try it by yourself. Export all schemas to a dump file from 8i and export it to 10g
    For syntax you can refer to documentation:

  • Export from Apex 3.2 and import to Apex 4.0

    I apologize if this has been asked before (and I am sure it has).
    We are about to move all our Apex/Oracle apps to a server where Apex 4.0 is installed. Our current Apex version is 3.2. My question is can we export from Apex 3.2 and import in Apex 4.0 and expect everything to work (assuming it all works fine in Apex 3.2 and all Oracle objects were moved properly to the new server , both servers have Oracle 11g).

    I am having trouble finding "update application" under any of the utilities.
    Also one of my applications gives me the following error when I try to import it from Apex 3.2. to 4.0
    ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-02290: check constraint (APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WS_RPT_CHART_AGG_CK) violated &lt;pre&gt;begin wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt( p_id =&amp;gt; 24053127534342788+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_flow_id=&amp;gt; wwv_flow.g_flow_id, p_page_id=&amp;gt; 60, p_worksheet_id =&amp;gt; 24052412232342516+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_session_id =&amp;gt; null, p_base_report_id =&amp;gt; null+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
    I have no clue how to fix that.

  • Help export from database P1 Partition and Import into databaseT1 Partiton

    Hello,
    I don't know exactly your Oracle release, but since Oracle 10.1 you can use either the Original export/import utility (exp/imp) or the DATAPUMP (expdp/impdp) which is recommended.
    As previously posted, export/import is not launched from SQL prompt but straightly from a DOS session (for Windows) or a Unix session (on Unix/Linux).
    These links will give you example about partition-level export and import, using the Original export/import utility:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/original_export.htm#SUTIL2750
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/original_import.htm#SUTIL1758
    You have the same feature in DATAPUMP with the TABLES parameter:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/dp_export.htm#i1006816
    Hope this help.

    Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

    There are multiple ways to do this. ODI, Essbase Studio or SQL interface in load rules are three. ODI is not free, but the other two I mention are. There are a few developers I know that prefer flat files as it is easier to trace back issues, but most o us use a SQL approach. Both Essbase Studio and Sql Interface can use either PDBC or OCI connections. Of course OCI connections are faster.
    While neither Studio or load rules has a scheduler associated with it, you can use the windows/cron/custom scheduler of your choice to schedule the process to run. Note that neither will run stored procedures/packages but just read from tables/views.
    The batch interface you would use is called MaxL and it interfaces with ODI, Studio and Load rules (Sql interface)

  • Export BR's from 9.3.1 and import them to 11.1.2.2

    Hi All,
    I am working on exporting the Business rules from 9.3.1 and import them to 11.1.2.2. I was able to export the BR's and import them but its is giving me the error that *"the import was unscucesfull as no objects were found"*.
    when I looked in the document it mentions after selecting the BR's that we export it will open a *"Enter source Repository information"* dialog box which I don't see.. can anyone please help me with this..
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    I went through the document and in there it says we can migrate business rules from previous versions only if it is EPMA and not classic. Is that true? we are using classic planning for both 9.3.1 and 11.1.2.2. we want to migrate Business rules from 9.3.1 to calculation manager 11.1.2.2
    Can we do a migration for the above?
    I saw it in page no. 253 of "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/cmgr_admin.pdf". Please clarify me if we can do this migration
    Thanks!

  • Steps to export and import oracle 10g databse from AIX to AIX and LINUX

    Hi,
    I need the steps to export the oracle 10g database from AIX server to AIX server and LINUX server.
    Please give me all the steps as this is my first exort an import activity.
    thanks,

    For 10g there exist two ways to do so.
    1) Regular exp/imp.
    2) Data pump expdp/impdp.
    As this is your first export and import activity, relevant concept understanding is mandatory for you.
    Documentation Link
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
    Read the chapters 1,2,3 (Data pump expdp/impdp) and 19 (regular exp/imp). Good luck.

  • Cannot export address book from 5.0.1 and importing to 4.1.2

    I don't think that this problem has been dealt with anywhere.
    I created an address book archive on my intel macbook pro running snow leopard and address book 5.0.1. I then tried importing this to my desktop which is not intel and is therefore running leopard and address book 4.1.2. It doesn't seem to open. It seems to erase all of my contacts instead, but then when I quit and reopen address book they are all there.
    This is weird. I have done this before, in reverse, and had no problems.
    Any good ideas out there? Many thanks.

    Exporting from a new version of AB to an older one is always problematic because of differences in the databases. It may be better to simply select all your contacts then drag the selection to the Desktop which should create a vCard file. Then drag the vCard file into the other AB on the other computer. It should import the vCard file without issue. This should avoid any problems arising from the differences in the AB version involved.

  • Export from 10.2.0.4, import into 10.2.0.1

    Hi all,
    I'm very new to oracle so forgive if there are any part of infomation that I left out.
    My test system:
    Windows Server 2003 Standard 32bit
    Oracle 10g: version 10.2.0.1
    For 2 days, I have been trying to restore a database into 10.2.0.1 but keep failing with alot of errors.
    The command line that I'm using
    imp scott/Password1 FILE=A_01.dump,A_02.dump,A_03.dump,A_04.dump,A_05.dump,A_06.dump,A_07.dump
    I was hit with this error today which gave me the ?_?
    IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
    IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
    So I went google and found out that it might be either 1 of the reason:
    1) File Corrupted During Transfer
    2) When exported dump file is higher version and import in lower version.
    I haven't rule out the file being corrupted as I want to make sure of point 2 for the time being.
    The version of the oracle that the DB was exported out is 10.2.0.4.
    I know point 2 is valid when there is a major version change like from 9 to 10 or to 11.
    So my question are as follow:
    Does point 2 affect the way I restore the DB from 10.2.0.4 into 10.2.0.1?
    Edited by: 944313 on Jul 3, 2012 7:42 PM

    Pl identify how the export was performed. In 10g and later versions, there are two export utilities - expdp and classic export. Files exported by these two mechanisms use different formats and can only be imported by impdp and classic imp respectively. Your error message indicates that the export file was created by expdp (assuming that the file did not get corrupted during transfer) - therefore you will need to import it using impdp. If this is true, then expdp on the source must be perfomed with the VERSION parameter set to 10.2.0.1

    Subject: How to perform FULL System Export/Imports
    Type: BULLETIN
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
    Creation Date: 18-APR-1994
    Last Revision Date: 30-AUG-2002
    Purpose
    This article highlights some important points to consider when performing
    a Full System Export and Import.
    Scope and Application
    It is intended to assist users performing FULL System Exports and Imports.
    A Full System Export and Import is a useful way to replicate or clean up
    a database. Please note the following guidelines when performing a Full
    System Export and Import:
    1. When performing the import, ensure you are pointing at the correct
    instance. Always check values for the SID and two task driver before
    proceeding.
    *Note:   On Unix systems, just entering a sub-shell, such as using
    C-shell, can change the database that the import would work
    against.
    2. When possible, it is advisable to take a physical copy of the
    exported database and the database you intend to import into before
    starting the import. This ensures any mistakes are reversible.
    3. NEVER run a FULL SYSTEM IMPORT on a machine that has more than one
    database UNLESS you are 100% sure all tablespaces have been
    pre-created. A full import will create any undefined tablespaces
    using the same datafile names as the exported database. There are
    situations where this is very dangerous:
    -> If the datafiles belong to ANY other database, they will be
    CORRUPTED. This is especially true if the exported database is
    on the same machine, because its datafiles will be re-used by
    the database you are importing into.
    -> If the datafiles have names that clash with existing operating
    system files.
    4. When exporting, it is advisable to also produce a report showing
    information you may need before / after the import:
    -> List the tablespaces and datafiles
    -> List the rollback segments
    -> List a count, by user, of each object type such as tables,
    indexes, etc.
    This enables you to ensure that tablespaces have been pre-created
    and to check the success of the import after it is complete.
    5. If you are creating a completely new database from an export, remember
    to create an extra rollback segment in SYSTEM, and make this available
    in the init.ora file before proceeding with the import.
    6. There are some versions of export that do not retain sequence numbers
    correctly. It is advisable to select next_value for each sequence
    after the export so that these can be checked after import.
    Following these guidelines will help you to avoid major problems.

    Subject: How To Copy an Oracle Database To Another Machine
    Type: HOWTO
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
    Creation Date: 12-OCT-2001
    Last Revision Date: 01-OCT-2003
    goal: How to copy an Oracle database to another machine
    fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
    fix:
    Pre-requisites: The copy is between 2 machines, both have to be on the same OS
    and have to have exactly the same database version installed.
    1. Make sure the database you want to copy was closed with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE,
    SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL.
    2. Copy init.ora and control files to create instance and be able to go in
    mount mode. Check the init.ora for the locations where the controlfiles have
    to be, if those locations are not valid on the machine put the control files on
    different places and adjust the init.ora accordingly.
    3.a. Copy the datafiles (all of them).
    b. Copy the redo-logfiles (all of them).
    4.a. (Unix only) Set the environment variables:
    ORACLE_SID - set to the database name you wish to create
    ORACLE_HOME - set to full pathname of the Oracle system home directory
    PATH - needs to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
    b. (NT/2000 only) Do 'set ORACLE_SID=<SID>'
    Use oradim to create the service for the instance. For more information
    on oradim please refer to (the part that refers to creating a new instance):
    Note:68720.1 Creating a new 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 Instance/Database
    5. Use servermanager (check the name to use for your version of oracle) or
    sqlplus (version 9i and above) to startup the database in mount mode.
    Do
    CONNECT INTERNAL/<PASSWORD>
    then
    STARTUP MOUNT
    Then do a rename of the copied datafiles if they are not in the same path as on
    the other machine. For all the files that are in the result of the query:
    SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
    do
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<filename>' to <
    newfullpath>\<filename>';
    6. Query the datadictionary for the old location of the redolog files using:
    SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
    If the new place is not the same as the old do:
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<redologfilename>' to &
    lt;newfullpath>\<redologfilename>';
    7. Now open the database:
    ALTER DATBASE OPEN;

  • Export from Oracle 9i to be Imported into Oracle 10g on 32bit platform

    Hi,
    Currently, I am in the process of performing a Homogenous system copy
    due to a domain change in our organization using R3load procedure.
    I have taken the export of the existing system which is on Oracle 9i.
    Initially, I was planning on setting up the new system on Oracle 9i,
    now that Oracle 9i is out of support, I would have to go with Oracle
    10g.
    I found a note on this topic, SAP Note: 932722, however, this note
    explicitly talks about database specific procedure of system copy and
    also this note is for 64 bit platform.
    Can you point me towards a Note or documentation which can be used as
    reference for importing an Oracle 9i export into Oracle 10g on 32bit
    platform(System copy procedure is R3load)?
    OS- Windows 2003 32bit, ECC 5.0
    Regards,
    Vishnu.

    Hi Gagan,
    Thanks for your response,
    As per your suggestion, I looked at the System Copy guide for Heterogeneous System Copy,
    On service.sap.com/osdbmigration under FAQ's this is what I found,
    I plan to copy my SAP system to a new hardware with the same OS and DB products but higher release levels. Is this a migration or a homogeneous system copy?
    A change of the version of the operation system and/or the database system is not relevant in the context of a migration or a homogeneous system copy. If you don't change the product, but only the release level it is a homogeneous system copy. If you change OS and/or DB, it is a migration.
    The system copy guide, doesn't explicitly talk about an export from Oracle 9i imported into Oracle 10g.
    Can you point me to a guide or Note?
    Regards,
    Vishnu

  • Exporting from InDesign to PDF, and the updated PDF is larger than a month ago and not printing easily on letter paper, it is PDF presets?

    Hello,
    I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?

    I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
    ..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
    It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference?
