Import from Oracle 8.1.6-7 to 8.1.5

Hi folks
I'm having this problem: a software supplyer from our company converted to us their proprietary database used inside a HR management system to an Oracle DB. They send to us the dmp file, but when we try to import we've got this:
IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
IMP-00021: operating system error - error code (dec 2, hex 0x2)
I checked at the raw dump file it was generated with EXPORT:V08.01.06F. In our company we use Oracle 8.1.5 whose export produces at top EXPORT:V08.01.05. Does anybody know if is it possible to download only import from above version and make it work? Suggestions are welcome...
null

We have the same problem ?
Is there a solution in the meantime ?
TIA!
Michael

Datapump Network Import from Oracle 10.2.0 to 10.1.0

I have self-developed table bulk copy system based on dmbs_datapump API. It is pretty stable and worked very well for a long time on many servers with oracle 10.1.0. But some days ago we have installed new oracle server with oracle 10.2.0 and have noticed, that our system can't copy tables from new server to another servers. After some time of debugging we got description for our situation... dbms_datapump.open() call is failing with "ORA-39006: internal error" exception. dmbs_dapatump.get_status() returns more detailed description: "ORA-39022: Database version 10.2.0.1.0 is not supported."... We're really disappointed... what we can do to use dbms_datapump.open on 10.1.0 to copy table from 10.2.0?
P.S. We have tried to use different values (COMPATIBLE, LATEST, 10.0.0, 10.1.0) for version parameter of open()... but without luck...
Please, help, because we can't upgrade such many old servers to 10.2.0 and we really need to use this new server...
Thanks in advance,
Alexey Kovyrin

Hello,
Your problem is about the Character Set.
WE8ISO8859P1 stores character in *1* byte but AL32UTF8 (Unicode) uses up to *4* bytes.
So, when you Import from WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8 you may have the offending error ORA-12899.
To solve it, you may change the option of the Datatype of your column. And choose the option CHAR
instead of BYTE (the default), for instance:
VARCHAR2 (100) --> VARCHAR2(100 CHAR)Then, you could import the data.
You may also change the parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR.
alter system set nls_length_semantics=char scope=spfile;Then, restart your database.
NB: Although the parameter nls_length_semantics is dynamic you have to restart the database so
that it's taken into account.
Then, you create the Tables (empty) and afterwards you run your Import.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Importing from Oracle Designer

Hi, I am looking to migrate from Oracle Designer. We have 2k plus objects in a enterprise model supporting multiple applications. When following the dialogs to import into DM 3.1, I connect to the repository fine but when I select our Logical application system, I am not seeing all our entities. What is the basis for selecting entities to present? Do they need to be checked in? We have some that are not yet versioned that do not show up and I can see them not being there but others that are versioned do not show up. I think most of these are checked out but I see some that are checked out as well. Any ideas, thks.

Yes they need to be checked in if they are versioned.

Error while table Import from Oracle (OBIEE server 64bit & Client 32bit)

Hi All,
Problem : ODBC/OCI Connectivity Issue between OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 (64-bit) server and OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Client (32-bit) local machine.
We have an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1(64-bit) setup on a 64-bit ‘Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise’ machine.
OBIEE dev team members have 32-bit local machines.
OBIEE “Admin team member” (who will work on RPD) has OBIEE 11g client (BP1) installed on their *32-bit local machine*(which is common client software for 32/64 bit.)
Now, two ODBC connections were created on this 32-bit local Client machine, with OBIEE 11g client installed on it.
One with “BI server driver” for connection to OBIEE server machine(64-bit) to open RPD and other with “Oracle database driver” to connect to the Oracle database on 64-bit machine, to import tables.
With this setup done, I am able to open the RPD in online mode and view the existing sampleapp related objects present in it.
But when I try to import metadata from OBIEE client admin tool using OCI or ODBC, it gives an error that “Connection fails! “
I have the required tns entry in my tnsnames.ora file and I am able to connect to this database from the local client machine, using sqlplus.
Kindly let me know if there are any restrictions in using this type of a setup combination of 32-bit and 64-bit machines for OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 setup.
If not then, what steps are to be followed to do the setup btw 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client to make table import working.

Hi Veeravalli.. Thanks for your response.
I have my tns file residing in both the location you mentioned on the server machine. (64-bit)
•     {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory
•     {oracle_common}\network\admin directory
And also in the below Oracle_home path of oracle_client in the local machine. (32-bit, Oracle 11g R2 database client)
•     {oracle_Home}\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin
Also, I have used the full expanded tnsnames as you mentioned. Still issue persists.
When I use , “DataDirect 6.0 ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol” driver, for creating the system DSN and try to import tables from OBIEE client admin tool on local client machine, the connection happens and table list comes up, but it’s an SAP product and hence it throws a msg to purchase the tool to go further with table import.
I am wondering if I any other configuration steps need to be carried out, with the ODBC/OCI set up between 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client.
Also, the source database that I am trying to connect to is yet again on a 64-bit machine(Oracle 11g R2).
Please suggest.

Oracle 11g- Straing behaviour of query after importing from Oracle 10g

Hi,
I have a table in Oracle 10g as follows:
Create Table xyz (col1 varchar2(50), col2 varchar2(50));
With following Data
Col1     Col2
A     320
A     110
A     290
A     380
B     ABC
B     256
B     LMN
I am running following Query
select * from xyz
Where Col1='A' and Col2=110
It works fine. But when I export this table and import it in Oracle 11g. It says invlid identifier.
But if I enclose 110 in single quotes. It works fine.
Also If I recreate this table in Oracle 11g like
Create table xyz1
as select * from xyz;
Now alos I am able to run this query smoothly.
select * from xyz1
Where Col1='A' and Col2=110
What is wrong exporting this table from 10g to 11g.
Any comments/suggestion??
Aarbi

The check in your where clause
Col2=110Is comparing a string (Col2 is defined as a VARCHAR) with a numeric literal, so there will be an implicit conversion taking place from character to number. The query then fails due to the B LMN row when 'LMN' fails number conversion.
I'm guessing there was there an index on the table in your 10g installation which would allow the query to be satisfied without checking the B ABC or B LMN rows but is not present or not used in the 11g installation so a full table scan results in an attempt to convert 'ABC' and 'LMN' to a number. Check the explain plans.
Or it could even just be a difference in the order in which the two conditions in the where clause are evaulated between the two versions.
The solution, as you have already found is to do a string comparision
Col2='110'Edited by: Cyn on Dec 7, 2009 12:38 PM

Data Import from Oracle Dump to SQL Server(2000/2005)

Hi Friends,
I'm using Oracle 10g.
I've a scenario.
I've Oracle Dump file. Now i would like import in SQL Server(2000/2005).
Can any one suggest me how to do this?
Any idea,clue will be highly appreciated.

I think you will need to import the data into SQL Server from an ASCII flat file using SQL Server DTS if avialable. You can use SQL Plus to extract the data outof Oracle into comma delimited flat files and then use SQL Server DTS load into the SQL Server database.

How to import from Oracle to ODI View query definition?

The scenario:
I have a View in Oracle database with name 'XV'.
When I loaded metadata from this Oracle database the 'XV' structure was imported too.
Is it possible to get in ODI the 'XV' query definition in format 'CREATE VIEW ... ' or 'SELECT * FROM'?
Thanks a lot for answers.

Still cannot connect.
The Administration Tool help suggests the tnsnames.ora is not required:
"For Oracle Database data sources, the data source name is either a *full connect string* or a net service name from the tnsnames.ora file. If you enter a net service name, you must ensure that you have set up a tnsnames.ora file within the Oracle Business Intelligence environment, in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin".
I've tried the tnsnames.ora route, but this still does not work. I created a tnsnames.ora file in <MW_HOME>\Oracle_BI1\network\admin. Is this correct?
I'm assuming that I don't need an Oracle client install on the same (Windows) PC that I've got Oracle BI 11g installed on. Is this correct?

SQL Developer Data Modeling - import from Oracle Designer Model

Hi,
I do want to try to import model from a Designer repository.
The first step is to create connection to the repository (9i version).
I have created the one, however any attempt to test the connection or to go to the next step simply finishes with error "4", without any valueable message.
Any idea or suggestion ?
Thanx.

A clarification of the Data Modeling feedback application and this forum. The developers are part of the SQL Developer development team, but as for all our features, each developer has a focus area, so the Data Modeling developers will tend to answer those questions. There will not be a separate Data Modeling forum, so once we're production all SQL Developer Data Modeling questions will be on this forum. We want to encourage all users to get into the habit of tagging posts. Having the posts tagged means that users can skip them if they're not their focus area and users can search using the tags. The more tags are used in all the forums the better. You may well find find the answers to your questions are outside this forum!
As SQL Developer Data Modeling in in its first early adopter phase, we have provide a feedback application, where users can provide feedback, log bugs and ask questions. We did the same for SQL Developer before it's initial production release and found this to be very useful for the product.
I'm happy for "How To" questions to be on this forum, as the answers benefit the broader community.

Import from Designer crashes with IMAGE data type

Hello,
I'd like to report an issue with Data Modeler while importing from Oracle Designer. If you consider this a bug, please let me know if I need to do anything else to request a fix for it.
I've used the import > Oracle Designer Model tool to import an application model. The import runs fine for a while, then crashes with a message "There are errors in import - check log file".
The application to be imported has 509 domains, 963 entities to import.
The summary info displayed after the import (when I close the error message pop up) is:
All statements: 1472
Imported statements: 538
Failed statements: 0

I see the issue with the IMAGE data type in the log. The model to be imported does have domains and entities using this data type. The domain actually did get imported, but it shows as "Unknown" logical type, even though there is an Image type available in the Data Modeler type list. None of the entities using IMAGE got imported.
Please let me know if you can provide a fix or workaround for this (other than changing the format in Designer).
Thank you,
Beatriz.

Hello Beatriz,
definitely this is a bug. The problem with entities is not IMAGE data type it's supported there (it's overlooked for domains). The problem is volume information - Initial, Maximum, Average, Growth rate. No workaround for that.
Domain can be changed manually if it's just one affected.

Importing Statistics - Oracle 11g upgrade

Hi,
We are in the middle for planning for migration of oracle 9.2.0.8 database hosted in HP-UX to oracle 11gR2 to Linix. The database size is 1 TB ( 400GB of table data & 600GB of index data).
Please let us know whether we can use the option of import/export the statistics from the Oraclr 9i to oradle 11g database. The database is highly OLTP/Batch. Will it be any Query performance problem due to the statistics import from oracle 9i to oracle 11g.
Any suggestion are welcome and let me know if you need any more information.
thanks,
Mahesh

Hello,
Please let us know whether we can use the option of import/export the statistics from the Oraclr 9i to oradle 11g databaseIf I were you, when the data are imported to the 11g Database I would refresh the Statistics by using the dbms_stats Package.
Then, you can test the most common queries on the new Database. If some perfomance troubles appear, you can use classical tools (Statspack, Explain Plan, TKPROF,...) or some useful tools you have in 11g as SQL Tuning Advisor or SQL Access Advisor :

Upgrade from Oracle 8i in Win98 to Oracle 11g in Window Vista

Hi,
I have an existing system that runs in Window98 using Oracle 8i as database. We are planning to convert the system from using Oracle 8i to 11g, and this new converted system will be running in Window Vista.
What I have in mind is doing export and import from Oracle 8i to 11g, but it is quite troublesome. Is there anyway I can upgrade the db to 11g in Window Vista?

Hi,
When upgrading from 8i to 11g, you cannot perform direct upgrade anyway.
If you want to upgrade (not using exp/imp), you can install 9i (9.2.0.4 and up) on the win98 machine, and upgrade the database to 9i.
Then you can take the database files, copy them (like cold backup) to the vista server, and you will able to upgrade it to 11g.
Note that you cannot use the DBUA in this scenario, you will have to upgrade it manually.

4.0 EA3 import from designer and database leads to differences in compare models

Hello,
I followed two ways to import a model in Data Modeler:
1 - an import from Oracle Designer
2 - an import from the database generated on basis from Oracle Designer
Then I compare the two models in Data Modeler, and found differences ...
One of the differences is in Table check constraints. The text is the same when viewing it in the compare model.
So I opened the corresponding XML files for the tables and compared the XML for the constraint text. And there are differences:
example:
<rule>(file_locatie is not null and file_naam_org is not null) or<br/>(file_locatie is null and file_naam_org is null)</rule>
<rule>(file_locatie is not null and file_naam_org is not null) or<br>(file_locatie is null and file_naam_org is null)</rule> <<-- designer
the design imported from designer contains br, the databse imported version contains br/
This should not be considered during comparision, or better: boths imports should use the same way of formatting.
Joop

The Rule specification is not re-formatted in Data Modeler code; it is stored as extracted from the database.
For Oracle Database, the Rule is extracted using SQL of the form SELECT search_condition FROM dba_constraints/all_constraints WHERE constraint_type = 'C';
For Oracle Designer, the Rule is extracted using SQL like SELECT txt_text FROM rm_text_lines WHERE txt_type = 'CDWHCL';
Are you able to tell how your Table Check Constraint is represented (with respect to the 'br') in your Database and Designer?
Regards,
Tony

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in Oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Thanks for your advise.
However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.

Importing table dump from oracle into sybase

I was wondering if anyone has ever imported a table dump from oracle into sybase. I just tried it and it didn't work. I used TOAD to create my table dump file but when i imprted it into sybase using bcp in i got the following error
cs_convert: cslib user api layer: common library error: The result is truncated because the conversion/operation resulted in overflow.
CSLIB Message: - L0/O0/S0/N36/1/0:

If you are looking for a basic/standard way to exchange data between Oracle and Sybase, use the CSV format.
It is trivial to write a generic SQL*Plus script for Oracle to extract data from a table (or a SELECT) and spool this into a properly formatted CSV file.
It is also just as easy to use Sybase Bulk Copy utility to load that CSV file into Sybase.
There are also alternative methods. One would be to use Oracle's Heterogeneous Services. You can define a database link in Oracle that connects, via ODBC, to Sybase. And using this database link you can push (insert) data into Sybase.
