Hi Nathalie,
We currently do not have such a tool within Oracle.
However, one of our MTI (Migration Technology Initiative)
partners may be able to help you.
Go to the following URL
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/migration/mti/
This page supplies contact information for our partners that have
a migration capability for Informix. One of these partners may be
able to help you.

Migrating from Informix 4GL to Oracle

How difficult is it,to convert existing Informix 4gl code to Oracle. I'm searching
for a product that will take an existing
Unix text based app. and make it look like
Windows. This app. contains hundreds of
modules as well as hundreds of custom functions.
Thanks for your help!

There seems to be a gap between the support for Transparent Gateway reg. Oracle8 versions and SQLServer 7.
So far I've only found TG:s up to Oracle 8.0.3, next step is Oracle 8.1.x . I'm currently planning to run a linked replication between a Ora 8.0.6 running on HP/UX and SLQ Server 7.0. Would that work with a TG for 8.0.3 ?

Convert Informix "with resume" feature in stored procedures to Oracle PL/SQL

I am trying to convert an Informix stored procedure with the "return value with resume"
feature into Oracle PL/SQL.
So far, all I have gathered is that I need to use packages and reference cursors.
What is hazy is that how and when does this value get returned? Is it on the execution of the FETCH statement or do I need to specify a RETURN statement.
If anybody has any ideas or better yet any
concrete examples, please email me.
Thank you.

This is a small example of the use of ref cursor , for further details see the Oracle documentation
PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 8.1.6
A77069-01 . The stored procedure converter for informix (downloadable from Oracle Technology Network) does not unfortunately cover this situation.

Need To Create a table in Sql Server and do some culculation into the table from Oracle and Sql

Hello All,
I'm moving a data from Oracle to Sql Server with ETL (80 tables with data) and i want to track the number of records that i moving on the daily basis , so i need to create a table in SQL Server, wilth 4 columns , Table name, OracleRowsCount, SqlRowCount,
and Diff(OracleRowsCount - SqlRowCount) that will tell me the each table how many rows i have in Oracle, how many rows i have in SQL after ETL load, and different between them, something like that:
Table Name OracleRowsCount   SqlRowCount  Diff
Customer                150                 150
0
Sales                      2000                1998
2
Devisions                 5                       5
0
(I can add alot of SQL Tasks and variables per each table but it not seems logicly to do that, i tryid to find a way to deal with that in vb but i didn't find)
What the simplest way to do it ?
Thank you
Best Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
According to your description, what you want is an indicator to show whether all the rows are inserted to the destination table. To achieve your goal, you can add a Row Count Transformation following the OLE DB Destination, and redirect bad rows to the Row
Count Transformation. This way, we can get the count of the bad rows without redirecting these rows. Since the row count value is stored in a variable, we can create another string type variable to retrieve the row count value from the variable used by the
Row Count Transformation, and then use a Send Mail Task to send the row count value in an email message body. You can also insert the row count value to the SQL Server table through Execute SQL Task. Then, you can check whether bad rows were generated in the
package by querying this table.

Mike Yin

Error in setting datasource location from oracle to sql server

Post Author: jonathanaramburo
CA Forum: Data Integration
Hello,
I have an application that uses a table named "events" which conflicts the sys.events view in master database in sql server. The error i was encountering is that, whenever i tried to set the datasource location of my crystal report from its previous connection oracle to sql server, i get an error saying that some of the fields has not been updated because theres no matching fields to the current connection. It seems that crystal is pointing on sys.events view on master db and not on the events table in myDb database. How can I tell crystal reports to not pick up sys.events and get only myDB.events table.
Thank you in advance,
Thanks,
Jonathan

The exact statement in oracle side which causing this error (O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.) is below:
dStartDate:= to_date(sStartDate,'MON-YYYY');
Statement causing error O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported is below.
nCount2:= length(regexp_replace(sDataRow,'[^,]'));
So there is no statement which is using to_date(VARCHAR2,
CHAR) and regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR) in as such. 'MON-YYYY' and '[^,]'
are CHAR values hence SSMA is unable to convert it from varchar2 to char.
Regarding SYSDATE issue, you mean to put below code in target(SQL) side in SSMA ?
dDate date := sysdate;
Thanks.

Error Connecting to TFS 2013 from Oracle PL/SQL using MSSCCI

Hi,
previously we were able to connect to TFS 2008 through MSSCCI.
we have MSSCCI 2013 provider, Teamexplorer 2013 andVersion Control Interface installed.
While trying to connect to TFS 2013 from ORacle PL/SQL Developer 10.5 through MSSCCI ; there is an error coming up when we enter the server url ... it is allowing us only until <tfs home url> without collection...
"The request failed with the error message

How to resolve the above error?
Thank you
Su

Hi Su,
Thanks for your post.
How do you manually build your PL/SQL/Oracle projects?
TFS Build invoke MSBuild command to build project/solution on build agent machine by default. If these projects can be built using MSBuild command line manually, then we can use TFS Build(default build process template) to build these projects.
If these projects need be built using another complier, and this compiler support run the command line to invoke it, so you can add the InvokeProcess activity(execute the command line) to invoke this compiler to build these projects in build process template,
then create build definition using this customized build process template.

Error: ORA-03113 while executing complex java code from Oracle PL/SQL

Hi,
I am trying to execute a complex java code from Oracle PL/SQL. The classes were resolved successfully. But in the middle of execution, I am getting the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Is there a way to debug the Java classes loaded into oracle? Or is there any utility to find out why the connection was lost?
Regards,
Saravana

Hi Saravana:
You could use simply System.out.println(..) at your Java code and see the output at the .trc files generated for your Oracle session.
Or better than this adding Java Util Logging messages at your code, to see how to use JUL API at the OJVM please see this blog post [Using JUL API inside the OJVM|http://marceloochoa.blogspot.com/2007/11/getting-logging-entering-exiting-and.html].
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: ora-0600 generally are associated with RDBMS bugs, but these bugs can be bypassed by replacing the code which throws the exception by other with a workaround.

Oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException when using OracleXMLQuery getXMLDOM()

Hi!
I am trying to reuse a code in JDeveloper to get XML from a query. I have copied the code from a method and created a new method with the copied code and changed it. The problem is that when I run the old code I now get following error:
Ett oförväntat fel har inträffat: Application: FND, Message Name: FND_GENERIC_MESSAGE.
Tokens: MESSAGE = oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Det här objektet har stängts.
Vill du inte att objektet ska stängas automatiskt mellan anropen kan du granska metoden 'keepObjectOpen()'.;
This means in english something like:
An unexpected error accoured: Application: FND, Message Name: FND_GENERIC_MESSAGE = oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: This object is closed. If you don't want the object to close automatically between calls you can check method 'keepObjectOpen()';
the code I'm running is:
public String punchoutSomething()
throws Exception

// add all ids
SuppSummVOImpl vendorView = getSuppSummVO();
Row row;
int punchoutCnt=0;
// vendorView.reset();
Row[] selectedRows = vendorView.getFilteredRows("SelectStatus","Y");
for(int i=0;i<selectedRows.length;i++)
if(punchoutCnt>0)
sqlForXml.append(",");
sqlForXml.append(((Number)selectedRows.getAttribute("VendorId")).toString());
punchoutCnt++;
if(punchoutCnt==0)

, sqlForXml.toString()
xq.setRaiseException(true); // in case of error raise an exception (default
// is to generate an error document
xq.setEncoding("UTF-8"); // not necessary?
xq.useLowerCaseTagNames();
xq.setRowsetTag("vendors");
xq.setRowTag("vendors_row");
//System.out.println(xq.getXMLString()); // DEBUG
XMLDocument suppl = (XMLDocument)xq.getXMLDOM();
XSLProcessor xslt = new XSLProcessor();
InputStream sheetStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("mystylesheet.xsl");
if(sheetStream==null)
throw new Exception("Could not load stylesheet");
XSLStylesheet sheet = xslt.newXSLStylesheet(
sheetStream
StringWriter serialize = new StringWriter();
xslt.processXSL(sheet,suppl,new PrintWriter(serialize));
String returnXML = serialize.getBuffer().toString();
// System.out.println("X:"+returnXML); // DEBUG
sheetStream.close();
return returnXML;
===================
i've copied the same code into another method and only changed the sql-statment to be used and the stylesheet to use to transform the xml. Is something wrong with that?
Another question: if the xsl refers to a xsd but wihtout any path where should it be?
Thanks for the help,

Actually, having looked at Metalink, seems that although this message may be accurate and correct,
it has been 'introduced' as part of the 9i JDBC driver.
So, I used the 8i JDBC driver I happened to have instead and that worked fine.

[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver][libssclient22]General network error

I am using oracle gateway (11.1) for sqlserver on Linux platform with Oracle Server 10g.
I am getting following error when i run any select query:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

Another thing is, i have created a ODBC DSN named as "sqlserver" as well. This configuration works fine when "program" parameter is set to dg4odbc in Listener.ora. But with dg4msql, it gives error.

Hi,
The error you get is because your HS_FDS_CONNECT_STRING is not correct:
Be sure you can ping the SQL SERVER name from the Oracle Server,or use TCP/IP address
Check the port, it is not necessary 1433.
You can use the instance name insted of port:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_STRING=server_ip_address/instance_name/database_name
Be careful, in the LISTENER.ORA, you must specify the Gateway machine and not the SQL SERVER machine:
sqlserver =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Gateway_Machine )(PORT = 1522)) <====you must specify Oracle Gateway machine
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = PNPKEY))
Idem for TNSNAMES.ORA:
SQLSERVER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Gateway_Machine)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = sqlserver)
(HS = OK)

Error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server

I get Errors 1-3 while migrating procedures and error 4 while migrating a table.
1- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'SYSDATE' is not supported.
2- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.

4- O2SS0486: <Primary key name> constraint is disabled in Oracle and cannot be converted because SQL Server does not support disabling of primary or unique constraint.

dStartDate:= to_date(sStartDate,'MON-YYYY');
Statement causing error O2SS0050:

So there is no statement which is using to_date(VARCHAR2,

JS Validation for Drop down List is not working in Oracle PL/SQL Package

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with JavaScript validation done in Oracle PL SQL package.
System Requirement:
There is one screen which contains two fields viz. FLD 1 & FLD 2 and one 'Submit' button.
FLD 1 and FLD 2 fields are drop down list boxes.These are mandatory fields.
The screen is developed in Oracle Mod PL SQL package.
The html coding and java scripting are embedded in the respective Oracle PL SQL Package procedure which generates this screen,takes the input values provided by user,does the
field validations and submits the form.
Issue:
The javascript validation for FLD 2 dropdown is working successfully.
When the user leaves this field as blank,the embedded javascript pops up an error message 'Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!'.
As FLD 1 is also a mandatory field,the javascripting validation should pop up the similar error message 'Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!'.
But,this first field validation is not at all working.
The system allows to submit the form even if the 'FLD 1' is left blank.
The javascript code sysntax for validation of FLD 1 & FLD 2 drop down list boxes as follows:
function validate_form_fields()
if (document.forms[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
else if (document.forms[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
return true;
I am viewing the screen from the web browser IE version 8.0.
Your timely help will really be appreciated.
Regards & Thanking in advance,
Alka

Hi,
1. Your problem is actually related to JavaScript, not SQL and PL/SQL. So, this is the wrong forum to post. The closest to JS is the Application Express forum {forum:id=137}. Clearly state that it is not an Apex issue and that you are looking for JS help.
2. Your JS code, the way you has posted it, is syntactically incorrect, so if you post on Apex forum put the correct code and in tags as described in the FAQ
{quote}
function validate_form_fields()
if (document.forms[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
else if (document.forms[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
return true;
