From Unix to Linux Change (3.5)

Hello,
What are all the activities in Detail that need to be performed to change BW 3.5 from a Unix based System to Linux?
Thanks

I dont think there is anything you need to do from a application perspective. You need to look at normal system settings like
Work + disp processes
Processes availability
and things like that. Only thing that could affect BI would be authorizations to the file system and things like that to write log files etc etc, run scripts etc..
You might want to check the same in the Netweaver Administrator forum also....

Shell scripts to migrate from Unix to Linux

Hi All, Can any one let me know what are common issues will face while migrating the shell scripts from Unix to Linux. Thanks in Advance..!

Hi There is windows batch script which uses local variable %DATE% Date format behaves differently across environment In Preproduction : Powercenter9.5.1hotfix2 Windows NT 2008 date format for all users in server machine dd/mm/yyyy (checked regedit/allusers/default/international) Integration service data format day dd/mm/yyyy environment variable INFATOOL_DATEFORMAT is not set The format of this variable is dd/mm/yyyy when batch file is run directly. The format of this variable is dd/mm/yyyy when batch file is run from Informatica. Production : Powercenter9.6 Windows NT 2012 date format for all users in server machinedd/mm/yyyy Integration service data format day dd/mm/yyyy environment variable INFATOOL_DATEFORMAT is not set The format of this variable is dd/mm/yyyy when batch file is run directly. The format of this variable is day dd/mm/yyyy when batch file is run from Informatica. If environment variable INFATOOL_DATEFORMAT is set in production,even then date format is not set to dd/mm/yyyy Where could the issue be? Thanks Kani

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

Yes, it's possible, but if your Windows system is on a Boot Camp partition then you have to first remove it. Then create however many partitions you want for the operating systems. You have OS X on one, so you need two more - one for Windows and one for Linux. You then install Windows and Linux separately to their respective partitions. Download rEFIt
Use it as the replacement bootloader so you can properly boot from each OS properly.

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in downloaded txt file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Its there, I am talking abut this -
OPEN DATASET - linefeed
Syntax
... WITH { NATIVE
         | SMART
         | UNIX
         | WINDOWS } LINEFEED ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
2. ... WITH SMART LINEFEED
3. ... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
4. ... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: These additions determine which line end marker is used for text files or legacy text files. If these additions are used, the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is ignored. Simultaneous specification of the values "UNIX" or "NT" in the addition TYPE is not permitted.
If these additions are not used, the line end marker is determined as follows, depending on the operating system of the current application server:
The line end marker for Unix is "LF". Under Unix, OS390 and OS400, only "LF" is used for reading and writing.
The line end marker for MS Windows is "CRLF". Under MS Windows, however, the values of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode can also be used to set whether new files are handled according to Unix conventions or Windows conventions. If the profile parameter has the value "b", the Unix line end marker "LF" is used. If the profile parameter has the value "t" or is initial, the Windows line end marker "CRLF" is used. The setting using the profile parameter can be overridden with the addition TYPE and the value "UNIX" or "NT". If an existing file is opened without the addition TYPE, this is searched for the first line end marker ("LF" or "CRLF"), and this is used for the whole file. If no line end marker is found, the profile parameter is used. This applies particularly if an existing file is completely overwritten with FOR OUTPUT.
If an addition WITH NATIVE|SMART|UNIX|WINDOWS LINEFEED is used, this setting can be changed for the open file using the statement SET DATASET. If neither of the additions is used, the line end marker also cannot be changed using SET DATASET.
Notes
: Without the use of an addition WITH LINEFEED, the line end marker is dependent on diverse implicit factors such as the operating system of the application server, a profile parameter, and line end markings that are already used. For this reason, the explicit use of WITH LINEFEED is recommended, which renders the use of the addition TYPE for setting the line end marker obsolete.
The line end marker that is currently used can be determined for every open file using GET DATASET.
Alternative 1
... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition defines the line end marker independently of the access type according to the operating system of the application server, i.e. "LF" for Unix OS390 or OS400, and "CRLF" for MS Windows.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current codepage. If a code page is explicitly specified using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must exist be available or be written in accordance with this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED is intended for editing files on an application server that can also be accessed by other means. The addition receives the appropriate line end marker without the program needing to know the operating system.
Alternative 2
... WITH SMART LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition depends on the access type:
In files that are opened for reading using FOR INPUT, both "LF" and "CRLF are interpreted as a line end marker. When opening an EBCDIC file with the addition CODEPAGE, in addition to "LF", "CRLF", and the EBCDIC character strings, the corresponding ASCII character strings are also recognized. In addition, the EBCDIC character "NL" (line separator) is also interpreted as a line end marker.
In files opened for appending or changing with FOR APPENDING or FOR UPDATE, the program searches for a line end marker that is already used in the file. In this process, first the end of the file is identified. If no line end marker is found there, a certain number of characters at the beginning is analyzed. If a line end marker is found, this is used when writing to the file. This is also affected by the addition CODE PAGE. For example, ASCII line end markers are recognized and used in a file opened with EBCDIC, but not the other way round. If no line end marker is found or no search is possible (for example, if the file is opened with the addition FILTER), the line end marker is determined according to the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
In files opened for writing using FOR OUTPUT, the line end marker is determined according the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
Note
: The addition WITH SMART LINEFEED is intended for the generic editing of files in heterogeneous environments. The line end marker is recognized and set for different formats. The use of this addition is the best solution for most application cases.
Alternative 3
... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "LF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available or be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH UNIX LINEFEED is intended for editing Unix files in which the specific line end markers are to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is MS Windows.
Alternative 4
... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "CRLF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available and be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED is intended for use with MS Windows files in which the specific line end marker is to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is Unix, OS390 or OS400.

File transfer from UNIX server to Windows server path

Hello Experts, (Gud Even Gud Aft & Gud Mor)
Is there a way to transfer file from UNIX server(Oracle database), to Windows server? All I know if Windows path. I am able to read the file as it is on server, however it does not recognize Windows directory at all.
If you can share some documents around this to study, I will be grateful.

NFS on the Unix server sharing the directory containing the file. FTP server on Unix allowing the file to be read and copied. OpenSSH on the Unix allowing the file to be read and copied via scp (secure copy).
But seeing as this is an Oracle database forum (not an operating system forum), and the subject matter is the database server languages SQL and PL/SQL, here is a PL/SQL solution.
Create a table using the BFILE data type for referencing the files on the Unix o/s. Provide a web enabled procedure for downloading the files via HTTP using a web browser. This procedure will look something as follows:
--// URL example: http://my-server.my-domain.com/MyDAD/MySchemaName.StreamFile?fileID=1234
create or replace procedure StreamFile( fileID number ) AUTHID DEFINER is
        mimeType        varchar2(48);
        fileName        varchar2(400);
        lobContent      BLOB;
begin
        --// read the LOB from a table (this example uses the
        --// Apex file uploads table - change it to your own files table)
        select
                f.filename,
                f.mime_type,
                f.blob_content
                        into
                fileName,
                mimeType,
                lobContent
        from    FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ f
        where   f.id = fileID;
        --// format a basic HTTP header that describes the file stream send
        OWA_UTIL.mime_header( mimeType, FALSE );        -- e.g. text/csv text/plain text/html image/gif
        HTP.p( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||fileName );
        HTP.p( 'Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.GetLength(lobContent) );
        OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
        --// now write the BLOB as a mime stream using the Web Procedural Gateway's
        --// doc load API
        WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file( lobContent );
exception when OTHERS then
        --// Decide what HTML to generate (if at all) if there is a failure
        --// (usually not a good idea to show database errors to the
        --// web browser client as that can provide technical details
        --// that could be useful for exploiting the database)
        HTP.prn( 'StreamFile() failed with '||SQLERRM(SQLCODE) );
end;
/ On Windows, IE can be used interactively to copy the file across. For automation (via PowerShell or console jobs), use a command like tool like wget* to download the file.
If you do not want to use SQL or PL/SQL as the file copy mechanism, then please close this thread (mark as answered) and take your question to an appropriate forum.

Using Oracle driver in JDBC for Unix and Linux based servers

Please, let me know how to mention the Oracle driver within the forName.class(" "); statement in the Jdbc-Servlet for Unix and Linux based servers.
I'm using Windows-OS for Java programming. Should I have to use the same environment(Unix/Linux with Oracle) for compiling or just compiling, mentioning the driver in the java program would suffice?
Please, Help me.
Thank You.
from,
Silas eschole.

[email protected]

I've used Oracle's thin driver like this:
Class.forName ( "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" );
Connection DBConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:USER/PASSWD@database" );
You need Oracles client classes ( e.g. classes111.zip ) at run time, not during compilation.
Thin client connects directly to the Oracle DB, so the database description is like PORT:MACHINE:SID
Connection is made through Oracle's listener even when your DB is in the same machine that your program is running. Port number is propably 1521 or 1526, depending on your listener.ora definitions and used Oracle SQL*Net version.

10gR2 to 11gR2 from Windows to Linux with 6TB Database.

Hi,
I need to do migration from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0 and from Windows to Linux for 6TB database Size. As both Endian format same, I did the migration using RMAN Convert database on UAT but for same 10gR2 version.(Both Source on Target Oracle Version was 10.2.01.0). Now I have to migrate from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0. So it's 2 way process.
is it possible to club these 2 way migration process ???
Are following steps right or any modification is required ??
1) Install 11.2.0.2.0 on Linux OS
2) Open Source Database (Windows) in Read Only. Generate TRANSPORT.SQL, CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN & Pfile.
3) Copy Source datafiles in temporary location on Target OS. Also copy above files.
4) Create dummy controlfile.
5) Startup nomount with Changed pfile
6) Mount database with Dummy Controlfile.
7) Run CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN to convert actual datafiles from Windows Platform to Linux Platform.
8) Shutdown the instance and delele Dummy Controlfiles.
9) Edit TRANSPORT.SQL and do Appropriate Changes like redolog files, datafiles path...
Now my question is, can I add ?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql in TRANSPORT.SQL script after Startup upgarade command so that Complete Upgradation to 11.2.0.2.0 would be done.
10) Then run TRANSPORT.SQL on Target System (11.2.0.2.0)
Tell me if more inputs are required from my side...

The directory structure is different...that's why you need to create the tablespaces in Linux. e.g. export dump says create tablespace in D:\..., there is no such thing in Linux. You can just export it, install software, create the db, tablespaces in Linux and import into the 10g in Linux.

Call Oracle Forms 6i from UNIX

Hi,
I am new to Oracle forms and I have some querries -
I have a form created on windows environment (.fmb/.fmx). This form accepts a parameter in a text field and calls another Oracle Report. Now my questions are:
1. If windows forms are not compatible with UNIX environment, then how these are converted to be compatible with UNIX/Linux (without re-creating them on different platform)?
2. Can I call the same form from UNIX shell with input as a shell script input?
3. And if answer to the second query is no, then can I invoke Web deplyed froms (on application server) using shell? and how..
I w'd appreciate your help!
Regards.

hello
please provide forms6i (on web?,client server?),OS version.
im Assumed your using character mode.

yes you can call it forms use : f60run forms.fmx username/password@tns
report : rwrun60c yourreportname.rdf username/password@tns destype=file desname=a.lis
but always use HOST command inside the forms, also to send to the printer name that is configured to your server.

lp -d $lp01 -c $user_output/'||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||'.lis',NO_PROMPT);
and if you call another form then you can use open_form,call_form,,... inside the form. Be sure you add in the library your wroking folder.
edit your user profile .
Study this as a case : this is the profile of our mis user in our old character based system.

Database shifting from UNIX to WINDOWS

Hi,
We have a production server located at Suse UNIX.
We would like to move database from UNIX to WINDOWS.
I would like to know what are the difficulties/scenarios which occures while moving the database?
How difficult is it to import current oracle database to oracle on windows server ?
Please explain in details.
Thanks,

hi what is your version of database?
are you chaging the database version also or simply operating system?
if you are only changing OS, then exp/imp is the best option. but to acheive this you need to do some groundwork like collecting all the tablespaces information and schemas and their privileges etc.
also depends on database size also you can choose come other options.
if your database version is 10g then you can best use the option of datapump exp/imp or network_link parameter of datapump.
