File Server Migration Source and Target Data Validation

Does anyone know of a power shell script/CLI command or some other way to verify source and target data after a file server migration? I want to make sure that the shares that are migrated from the source and target are an exact match. Thank
you.

Hi,
An example is provided in this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/10/08/easily-compare-two-folders-by-using-powershell.aspx
$fso = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path C:\fso
$fsoBU = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path C:\fso_BackUp
Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $fso -DifferenceObject $fsoBU
And actually Robocopy could also do this job with /L and /log:file parameter.

How to create Same file names for source and target.

hi
Can any body send Procedure for below requirement.
how to create the dynamic file names for a source and save the file with same name in the Target, because it has to identify that which sender had sent the file and the target file should be again sent back to the customer as a link.
Please help me.
Thanks

Hi,

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

Source and target directory file name should be same

Hi,
How can i generate the same file name in target directory without date and Timestamp.
for eg., Source File name : yeswanth.txt
and target File name also : yeswanth.txt
Note : here source side the file yeswanth.txt is constant and whenever it moves to target directory...should be overwrite.
Reward points for useful answers.
Thanks & Regards,
yeswanth.

Hi Mugdhal,
am getting this error when i sent the same file again.
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException:
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. : com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
But, here it should be overwrite the existing file.

LMDB - SLD "Source and target system have the same object server name"

Hi,
the system is a SM7.1 SP1
For some reason (Object-Server-Name changed), the job that syncs the sld and lmdb cancels...
I set the LMDB-Object-Server-Name to its original Name...
Now i've deleted the sync-config in the solman_setup and try to start a new sync, but i get the following error, when i try to configure the source-system:
'Source and target system have the same object server name: CISM318'
But the names are different: 'SM3' (LMDB) and 'CISM318' (SLD)
Any suggestions ?
best regards
Christoph

problem solved...
Apparently the sync needs some hours to finish a object-server-name-change...

Content server migration - loadercli and I'm running nuts...

We have an (old) content server database of 150 GB on 7.3.0.52 and we're trying to migrate that database to Linux x86_64 bit. I tried the following before:
- tried to install/run 7.3 on SuSE SLES 11 SP1 - failing (new kernel threading)
- tried to restore the 7.3 backup on 7.5 - failing (host pagaes too old)
- tried to use 'loadercli' of 7.5 (Note 962019) - failing (ASCII --> Unicode)
- now trying to use 7.6.06.20 and stuck
I want to use pipes as transport and use loadercli on the target system (7.6).
I created two files (according to note 962019)
EXPORT USER
catalog outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES
package outstream file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.export'
and
IMPORT USER
catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES
package outstream '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.import'
The pipes are not existing.
I start the export which seems to work, the COS.CAT pipe is created.
As soon as I start the import, I get the following error message:
IMPORT USER
catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES
package outstream '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.import'
// M    Execute   PACKAGE to transform CATALOG
// M    Import    PACKAGE x'01000000A296EB4EB45800009B16031EC842BF0100000000'
// M    Number of TABLES   transformed : 3
// M    Processed command is a PAGES format based copy from database
// with ASCII catalog to database with UNICODE catalog
// M    Execute   PACKAGE to transform DATA
// M    Number of TABLES   to transform: 0
// E -25329:    The given data file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' was not
// generated using EXPORT in PAGE Format (missing table description).
plus I get an additional pipe created "COS.DATA0000"
What am I missing here? I'm fiddling with this since hours and I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.
Markus

what is the source platform (just to be able to test here)?
Source platform is SLES 9 32bit
Target is SLES 11 SP1 64bit
> 50% less data volume in the target sounds strange.
it is, data is missing.
> What does the loader.log say - source and target - anything suspicious?
Not really, it looks "good":
loadercli -d COS -n xx.xx.xx.xx -u SAPR3,SAP -b COS_EXPORT.sql
Loader protocol: '/home/sqdcos/sdb/connd266/loader/log/loader.log'
Loader packages: '/home/sqdcos/sdb/connd266/loader/packages'

Could/should we use a higher version on the target system?

File Server Migration from 2008 Standard to 2012 Standard accross different subnet

Hi
Im going to migrate File server from Windows 2008 Standard server to Windows 2012 Standard . Source and Destination Servers are on different subnets . According to this
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj863566.aspx I cannot use Server migrations tool in-built into 2012 . Im not sure if I can use file server migration toolkit 1.2?.
Also my Domain controllers are mixture of Windows 2003, 2008 , 2008 R2 and I've upgraded the schema level to 2012 R2 . Is there anything else I need to be aware of ?
Can anyone please recommended best way to go about doing this migration . Is file server migration toolkit 1.2 is compatible ? .
Only reason I don't want to use Robocopy to this is because If I miss a small setting etc then I will face unwanted downtime.
I presume Migration toolkit will also create all the Quotas etc on the destination server .
Thanks
mumtaz

Hi mumtaz,
We could use file server migration toolkit 1.2 to migrate file server between the two subnets. In order to maintain security settings after the migration, please ensure the security of files and folders after they are migrated to a target file server, the File
Server Migration Wizard applies permissions that are the same as or more restrictive than they were on the source files and folders, depending on the option you select.
In the meantime, quota cannot migrate by this tool but we can export and import the quota using dirquota command. Export the templates as xml and then import to new server:
dirquota template export /file:C:\test.xml
dirquota template import /file:C:\test.xml
For more detailed information, please see:

File server migration with Offline files involved

Hi,
We are planning a file server migration in following weeks.
This morning, our customer came with the good old "Ow, and I just thought about something else"
Here's the scenario :
-They are using 1 network drive
-That network drive is made offline available for all laptop users
-Those users are spread out in several country's. No VPN connection
-They are working for months on their offline network drive, right in the middle of the wood, no internet connection, it was already short for them to find power supply for their laptop ...
...nevermind
-The day they come back to the office, the file server to which points the network drives will be offline.
Now the 1 Million question : What happens with their "dirty" files ?
yep exactly. those they changed 6 months ago, have no clue about if you ask them but certainly will the day I will clear the damn cache.
My first analysis :
-The new file server will have another name, no alias or re-using the old name is possible (the customer don't want to)
-I can't tell to those laptops "hey for that offline cache, please use this new network drive"
So :
>> Those users have to identify manually files they changed while being offline, copy them locally on their machine and work that way the time they come back to the main office.
>> When they finally show up, clear the cache, offline the new network drive and replace file copied locally
>> If no internet connexion available in the branch office, let them work locally, it's still better than this hybrid-non-sense 6month offline folder "solution". If internet connexion is mainly available remotely, propose some Citrix/View/RDS
Setup which is, for me, a more professional looking solution
Someone has another (better?) idea/solution ?

Hi,
I suggest you ask users to collect their laptop to internet, then start offline files synchronization on the old file server. After that, use
Robocopy to copy the date from the old server to the new server. As the offline files cache cannot be recognized by the new file server, so we need to synchronize data first.
If the older server cannot be enabled, as you mentioned, you might need to ask users to copy their changed files to the new file servers.

Mandy

Can source and target tables be the same

Hi there,
I need to restate profit center column in the delivery fact table. Historical Profit Centers need to be populated since today is the first time we brought in Profit Center field from LIPS table. The source for the delivery fact table is SAP LIPS table. so what I did is:
joined the LIPS and delivery fact table on (LIPS.delivery number = deliveryfacttable.delivery number & LIPS.delivery line item number = deliveryfacttable.delivery line item number) to get the profit center.
So the source and the target delivery fact table are the same. Is this a good practice becuase Data services warns me that the source and target tables are the same.
Please let me know a better alternative approach to this OR a better approach to restate fields for historical data. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
samqiue

Arun,
actually the LIPS resides on another server and in order to fetch data I have to write an R3 ABAP data flow, so I cant use it directly in a lookup.
Except what Im thinking based on your reply to use a lookup table is: that I will extract 3 colums (delivery number, delivery line item number and profit center) to a table and then use the lookup.
Thanks.

samique

I also tried to Import a MSI file from our test environment to see if that would work...got the same errors. After spending hours (not kidding) looking for an answer, all I could find is that a hotfix would work. So, I got the hotfix from Microsoft
Support and applied it then rebooted. Still getting the same errors. I'm absolutely at a stand still. Interesting that I got this application to deploy yesterday and then the next time I deployed it I started getting these errors. I'm
ready to pull my hair out!
Is there an answer for this out there somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Which hotfix have you applied? I don't think a hotfix of this issue is available for BizTalk 2013 yet. You should create a
support ticket with Microsoft to get a solution.

Best practice deployment - Solaris source and target

Hi,
What is the recommended deployment guide for an ODI instance under Solaris. I have a sybase source and an Oracle target, both of which are on Solaris. I plan to put my ODI master and work repository on another Oracle DB on the solaris target machine. Now where does my agent sit, since my source and target are solaris ?? I plan to administer ODI from my windows clients but :-
Where and how do I configure my agent so that I can schedule scenarios. It would make most sense to be able to run the agent on my target solaris machine , is this possible ?? If not then do I have to have a separate windows server that is used to run the agent and schedule the jobs ??
Thanks for any assistance,
Brandon

thanks for the reply. I cant find anything in the installation guide about Solaris specifically but it mentions to follow the instructions for "Installing the Java Agent on iSeries and AS/400" where the download o/s is not supported.
So it seems I just need make some directories on the solaris host and to manually copy files into s these directories and as long as java sdk/runtime is there I can use the shell scripts (eg. agentshceduler.sh ) to start and stop the agent.
So my question I guess is since the os supported downloads are only windows and Linux, where do I copy the files from, the Linux ones ?? Is it right to say that since these are java programs I should be able to copy the Linux ones and use them under Solaris ??
I dont have the Solaris environment at hand to test this just yet.... hence the questions....
thanks again

Control center location source and targets

Hi,
I'm trying to document an OWB 11.2 repository and I'm trying to find a OWBSYS view that holds the assigned source and target locations for a control center in the design repository (what you see in the control center properties in the Locations tab) . Does anyone know where I can query this information?
Cheers,
John

Perhaps the table is repurposed between 10g and 11.2?
When I query that table I see a list of modules (information_system_name) and it's associated location (location_name) but I do not know if the location is a source or a target. A lot of these tables have been around since 9i so I guess in 9i speak I want to see the equivalent of the module type ('data source' or 'warehouse target').
In 11.2 the module no longer has this source or target concept directly via the module properties - it held against the control center properties - not that all_iv_control_centers shows this information - that is just a list of control center names and their associated remote server/workspace/workspace owner properties - which is similar to the old 9i runtime repository connection properties when using the deployment manager and pretty much the same as what you see when querying all_iv_runtime_repositories.
So, still not quite there yet...
Cheers,
John

The source and target structure have a different number of fields

Problem has now been resolved. Problem was related to use of swr_att_id structure and swc_set_element statement in BOR program - problem resolved by only setting w/f container to swr_att_id-doc_id.

One problem with constraints missing in source and target database....

DB Gurus,
In my database I am going to export and import data using datapump but dont specify CONTENT clause.
so when I start working on my application, I came to know there are some constraints are missing. now how to check what are the constraints are missing from Source database and how to create those missing constraints on Target database?
Suggest me if you have any idea.

Create a database link between source and target schema.
Use all_/dba_/_user_constraints to generate the difference using MINUS operator.
something like this:
select owner,constraint_name,constraint_type from dba_constraints@source
MINUS
select owner,constraint_name,constraint_type from dba_constraints
