How to upgrade AND move between platforms with different Endians...?

Hi, all,
I have two databases - one of 500Gb and one of 50Gb - that are currently running on 10.2.0.4 on AIX 64-bit. They are Production systems.
I have to move them to a brand new Linux (RHEL 5.6 - 64-bit) server that will be running 11.2.0.2.
For test, I'm OK with this being done with Data Pump. But for the eventual move to 'New Prod', this will result in hours' worth of downtime and it's a business-critical system, so I'm trying to mitigate that as much as I can.
I was, naively, hoping to use RMAN to both move the databases from one box to the other, but also to upgrade them. I figure I would do the following (as per Metalink 369644.1) as I have a Recovery Catalog, etc, etc:
Install the binaries on the New Prod server
Connect to the RCAT and restore the database and recovery to a PiT
Manually upgrade the database by putting the DB into STARTUP UPGRADE and running the catupgrd.sql
Unfortunately, I didn't realise the Endian was different between AIX and RHEL (as per 1079563.1). Oops.
It doesn't look like I'll be able to use Transportable Tablespaces (as per 243304.1) either without first having to migrate the data across as a 10g DB and then upgrading.
So my options appear to be:
a) Data Pump and suck the outage up
b) Move the data using Transportable Tablespaces to 10.2.0.4 and then upgrade to 11.2.0.2.
Are there any other options? I have hopes that a logical standby would work in this instance a la rolling upgrade, but suspect that the different O/S AND the different Endian would scupper that idea...

Perhaps, I have more experience using concurrent exports/imports using the traditional exp/imp utility than using the parallel option on expdp/impdp. One thing you can do with exp/imp that you cannot do with expdp/impdp is export into a named pipe, start a remove copy of the named pipe to the new server, and then start importing from the named pipe on the new server so that you are importing while still exporting the same objects. We use tables= exports when we did this back when the tables= parameter could only handle 99 tables. We had a separate export for every large table and then a set of exports for 99 tables for each of the other tasks ran 6 to 12 concurrent processes.
One thing to look at is historic data. Potentially some tables can be moved in advance of the majority of the application objects and replaced with synonym to remote objects.
Truely static tables could also potentially be moved in advance even if only a day or two before to reduce the number of objects to be moved.
Build the new database in noarchive log mode to save some processing and switch it over and immediately back it up when you migrate.
And Yes, if the two platforms appear in the view name I gave you then you can use transportable tablespaces with the rman conversion step. Instructions for using rman to do the conversion are in the rman manual.

  • How to load and unload same SWF with different xmlFilePath?

    my_ssp.xmlFilePath = langPath;
    var fileType = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFileType"];
    my_ssp.xmlFileType = fileType;
    Access of possibly undefined property LoaderInfo through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
    The only code snippet works is
    var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
    for (var param in paramObj) {
       if (param == "xmlFilePath") {
          my_ssp.xmlFilePath = paramObj[param];

  • HT202213 how can i do sharing between devices with different IDs?

    one of my kids has an ipod and an own apple ID and i would like to shara my own music with that device too.
    i've tried logging it with my apple ID but got a message saying i would then not be able to share with my own devices for the next 90 days....??
    i guess i'm doing something wrong.... appreciate any help!

    Does he have his own computer to sync with. Is it separate from yours?
    Then you could use Home Sharing to make sure both lots of content are the same on both machines.
    He will have to authorise his machine with your Apple ID for any purchased music to be played
    Store > Authorise this computer
    Then set up Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620
    When it is up and running you can import from 1 library to the other and then your son can sync whatever he wants from his own iTunes

  • How to open and navigate between human task forms in a same page?

    Hi
    I use Oracle BPM 11.1.1.5
    I have a question about taskflows in BPM Application.
    In ADF web application, I create a sipmle task flow and insert view id and bind these to jspx pages, my pages are opend in same page when
    return an outcome.
    For exapmle I have three pages like A,B,C.
    In task flow, insert three view ids and bind to A,B,C.
    My first pages is A, and when outcome is B navigate to B, when my outcome is C then navigate to C in a same page not separate pages.
    But my problem is here.. in BPM Application when create task forms, every task has a separate task flow that there exist a single view id and a wild card flow in it.
    In BPM workspace when initiate human task form is closed, I should press refresh button to see next human task form in task list table.
    I tried to create a simple task flow and insert human task forms in it and navigate between these.. but show human task form in wrong display and don`t show some component and human task payload.
    Now, my question : How to open and navigate between human task forms in a same page like software installation?

    Having a separate Data Control for each human task is normally the case. There is a way to assign multiple human tasks to a single data control (and one task flow), but I don't think that this is going to help you with what I think you're trying to do.
    If your human task is called "EmployeeDetail", then you'd use the data control associated with this for the UI pages in the task flow diagram that is associated with this human task. For example, you might have a first page that has just the basic employee information - the fields (at least the ID field) would come from the EmployeeDetail data control. When the end user clicks "Next", you might have this UI page flow to a second UI page in the task flow diagram that has the employee's address information. You might place the address fields from the EmployeeDetail data control onto this second UI page.
    You might be asking how the work item instance can automatically flow to the next interactive activity in the process while staying inside the first interactive activity's human task's task flow diagram. This is not how it works - the task flow diagram models the end user interaction while inside a single human task that is tied to a specific interactive activity in the process. If you want a the end user to be able to move the instance through multiple interactive activities in the process in one interaction, look at "Activity Guides". Activity Guides do a nice job of this.

  • How to save and  move an application

    Hi,
    I have made an application on Oracle Express. How to save and move that to another machine ?
    Many thanks.

    I'm in the process of porting my XE app to a 10.1 instance.
    I created an app export and export file of the schema. Then I installed a client on the same machine so I could connect and I get errors detailed in the end of this thread when attempting to import. Most of the tables are successful however, none of the procedural code goes in. The app export imported fine.
    Now, I can manually copy the objects that remain but only if I can connect to XE and this ability seems to have been lost with the install of the 10.1 client.
    Does anyone know how I can connect to XE using PLSQL Developer or is it indeed possible to connect to XE on a machine that is configured to also connect to a 10.1 remote server? I have installed the 10.1 client into a new Oracle home.

  • How to draw and modify double lines with Adobe Illustrator?

    I need tot draw roadmaps. This should be easy using the pen tool, but my problem is that I cannot find a way to draw double lines with this tool. I have seen many fancy border styles and patterns. Some do have double or even quadruple lines, but the problem is than that they have an offset from the vector line and the space in between the two lines (the edges of the road) cannot be filled. Somewere I also found some pens called 'Double line 1.1' to 'Double line 1.6' but they also had an offset from the vector and I could not chance the size of the lines and the interval in between them independently.
    What I am looking for is a way to draw two lines in parallel and have the option tot fill the space in between with a color or even a pattern.
    The color and size of the lines should be changeable to make a distinction between several types of road.
    Is there an existing set of pencils for this purpose? It would be nice to be able to draw not only roads, but also railways and rivers!
    I am surely not the first person who needs to do this?
    I use AI version 6

    Jacob,
    Thanks for the answer. I have been searching for a solutions for a long
    time, but today I found the solution on a forum (not on this one). That
    solution is exactly as you described below, i.e. using a coloured line and a
    narrower white line on top of the first one. My problem was that I did not
    know how to create a custom brush based on the two lines. Now I know how to
    do that. However, I still have the problem. I can now draw double lines and
    I can change the color of the background line (the coloured one) but I
    cannot change the white colour of the narrower line. I assume that I have to
    completely redefine a new brush when I need to change that colour too.
    Regards,
    Rob Kole

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:

    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If so, then delete the songs:

    Glenn,
    I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details since even your terminology is confusing. there are no "pages" in Photoshop. What you describe in vague terms could be anything from your target document having a different color mode/ color profile to some hardware acceleration issue, but we really can't make any sense of it based on your information.
