Locks made against source database (SQLServer 6.5 to 9.0.1.2 migration)

I was wondering if there is any information about the types of locks that OMWB will take out on the source SQLServer database in a migration. From what I can tell these locks occur on the source database while the table data is loaded in to the target Oracle database. Are they taken at any other time during the migration process? How does OMWB determine what locks to take?
I need to migrate several production SQLServer 6.5 databases and I need to understand how OMWB will perform locks so I don't bottleneck our production SQLServer databases while they are converted to Oracle. Most of the migration work will be performed off hours, but I still would like some insight into the locking. In a related question, how does OMWB maintain consistency between tables during the migration process?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
You will be able to migrate from 6.5 to 9.3.1, if the 6.5 version is on a seperate server from the planned 9.3.1 version then you can use the migration wizard to do so.
If you want to migrate users and groups make sure the 9.3.1 version is still in native security mode, otherwise you will need to use esscmd/maxl to extract user information and then import.
The migration wizard will not take the data so you should really export that from your source.

Validating datastore against sources.

Hi,
I would like to know how we can validate changes made to a DataStore's columns.
After importing source table definitions, I wanted to know what would be the impact of changing column name in a model. (In the database, the column name is NOT changed.)
Initially, when Name and Short description values were changed one by one I could view data. Then when both were changed, I could not view the data as ODI Designer threw an error. After this both values (ie, column names) were restored as per the column name in the source database table.
But now, I am able to see the source table's data even though both Name and Short Description values related to a source table's column are changed in the DataStore's Definition tab.
And there does not seem to be any option to validate the DataStore against the database table definition.
Is it possible?
Btw, I am using ODI 10.1.3.5.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoj.

Hi Himanshu,
Thanks for replying.
I am sorry for my message is not that clear. I am new to ODI and exploring it.
After importing the source table definitions into the ODI repository, I thought of checking whether or not there was any option to validate the datastore definition against the source tables. Idea was to change a column name (NAME and / SHORT DESCRIPTION) or change datatype in the Model and see whether or not this is detected by the Designer. I considered the former for testing.
Initially, when both NAME AND SHORT DESCRIPTION were changed, I could not view the source table data as an error was thrown (which I assume was because there is no such column in the source table, ODI Designer threw an error).
Then I restored both the values and doing so, I could view the source table's data. Later, I again changed NAME and SHORT DESCRIPTION values of the same column. This time, I could still view the data. I feel this is bit strange. I could not find an option to validate the datastore definition against the underlying source table definition, too.
I have not started exploring projects yet; it's just model concepts that I am exploring.
Thanks,
Manoj.

Is There any API in receivables payment will made against closed invoices ?

Hi ALL,
i have requirement as below.
i am doing AR Invoice Data Migration for Instance 11.5.5 (as a Source Instance) to the new instance R12 (as a target instance).
Both open and closed invoices will have to be migrated from 11.5.5 to R12 to provide the drill down facility for audit purpose.
To meet the above requirement all the open and closed invoice will be picked up from 11.5.5 ; and imported into R12..
Subsequently, full payment will be made in R12 against all closed invoices in 11.5.5 to close those invoices by using any APIs?
can some one explain is there any API in receivables payment will made against closed invoices.
Thanks,
VSR.

Hi,
Can you be clear on your question: You want any API to make payment against closed invoices?
To me, You are making things complex. We can achieve the Migration of Closed invoices using following two procedures:
Procedure: 1
Ask Functional Guy to create a Transaction Type 'Closed Invoices' with Open to Receivables Flag not checked. +(You can uncheck Post to GL flag also, if required depending on your migration strategy)+. Status at Transaction Type if taken as 'Closed' it will be appropriate.
Invoices migrated using this Transaction Type shall not be shown as Outstanding but will be useful for Audit.
Procedure: 2
Consider the amount due Original of Closed Invoices and migrate them with the amount as Amount due remaining.
While migrating populate Receipt Method,Payment Method and Instruments useful for Automatic Receipts.
Once Create Automatic Receipts Program is run, it will close all these invoices. Note: We require dummy bank here which points to a Clearing account.
Automatic Receipts program is also an API.
In the above 2 ways, we are acheiving the Goal by using Functional knowledge rather than Technical. And I think following Functional way is better and less time consuming.
Please discuss with your Functional consultant if required. You can succeed.

Help me to fix the error while running DBMaintain Against the Database Schema in ASE.

Hi All,
I am trying to install sybase mobiliser platform 5.1 SP 03.I am referring the following guide

The query against the database caused an error in https: site

Hi
I have created a new Data source and External content type in sharePoint 2013
I have also given all the permission to this Content type (including "Users(Windows)")
I also having edit permission in the Sql-database.
I have tied almost all the possibilities given in the net for this error.
still the error("the query against the database caused an error") is there.
Is this because of "https:/ " in the url?
Can any one give a suggestion / solution for this?

SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9.2 problem [b]"Source database not captured"[/b]

hi, first-timer here working with the latest omwb version.
anyway
i'm trying to do a offline migration of the "Northwind" demo database as an example, they are no problems with the process, everything works like a charm ... until is time to press the "finish" button in the wizard-summary screen.
after that the output seems normal and there's no error, the completion pop-up message throws a 0 warnings 0 errors, supposedly ending the loading of the model, but the capture is labeled as aborted and the source database is not captured at all.
i have done everything in the manual, creating the privileged user "omwb_user", seeing that the corresponding tablespace was created, giving enough space everywhere.
so, what's the problem here?
i will appreciate any help or hint
thank in advance

i thought that mi domain standard of "john.doe" was the problem, i take out all the users, and now there is only the "sa" and "guest" accounts.
tried the online capture and it worked completely, tried the offline, the same problem:

Compiling against developer database, running against production database??

Hello :-)
In our company we have a developer- , a test- and a production database, like most of us, I think... :-)
In former times it was usual to compile forms against the database, that they are running against. But nowadays this is because of new security rules very difficult. Developers have all rights on the developer database, a few on test and nearly none on the production database and even our DBA is (officially) not allowed to use/know the sys password.
The developer and the production database are very similar (both 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit, Linux), but not totally equal. Of course there are differences in database objects, because it's the developer database, there could be differences in installed patches, and the production database consists of 4 Clusters, the developer database not.
Is it enough to compile the forms (6i and also 10g) against the developer database and run the compiled forms against the production database or should we compile the forms, that go in production, strictly against the production database, which is a bit difficult because of our security rules???
Regards,
Udo

Hello, Francois!
Thanks for your answer, but that was not exactly what I meant...
What you describe is, how it should be :-)
We develop, deliver the forms and scripts and "someone" compiles them against the production database.
But our problem is that it would be a lot of "paperwork"(?) each time(!) to get the authorization to get the required rights on the production database to compile all objects.
We have no "production team" that has all these rights and are not allowed to do so...
So I just want to have your experiences, if it is enough to compile against the developer database???
I have made the experience that probably 98-99% works fine, but sometimes there are strange things happening (like not passing variables from one form to another, when a form is compiled against the developer database and the attached library for example is compiled against the production database)...
Regards,
Udo

I have been looking into MySql and its not really impressed me. Not sure that there is anything better.
And it depends on your usage.
InstantDB is one http://www.lutris.com/downloads/index.html but it is limited to non-commercial use.
Interbase (firebird) at http://firebird.sourceforge.net/
I believe the unix side usually supports a variety that you could probably search for.
And if cheap is ok, rather than free and open, and using it only for developement then you can get full versions of Oracle and MS SQL Server very cheaply.

Our Client want a report in which what are all the payments made against the Purchase orders.
Is there any std report available?
Please advice what to do if std report not available.
Regards

Dear friend,
you can use ME2M standard report, by selecting the scope list ALV it will give the clear picture about what are the pos created
if this report will not satisfy your requirement at the time use the following tables like EKKO, EKPO, eket, ekbe, and genrate the report

Reports 6i against 10g database

Hi,
We are upgrading our database from 9i to 10g. We are running our reports (6i) against 10g database in the batch mode. For some of our reports we are getting the following error:
REP-0736: There exist uncompiled program unit(s).
REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL.
When report is opened in ReportBuilder it needs to be recompiled against 10g and then it runs fine.
Please advise how to solve this problem.

This is not because of the database is changed. Some of the packages/program units compilation dates might have changed and hence reports wants it to be recompiled.

Missing Functionality - Reconciling payment made against downpayment requst

Hi All,
I have the following scenario as supplied by the support team for downpayment requests:
1. Create downpayment request.
2. Create outgoing payment based on downpayment request.
3. Process AP invoice.
When i attempt to reconcile the payment to the transaction, i get an error stating that "payments made against against a downpayment request cannot be reconciled here"
I am currently on SAP Business One Version : 2007, SP 00, Patch 35.
I have attempted this on patch 39 with no resolve.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Amol,
I recommend you to create Journal Entry for reconcile after input AR Invoice.
For example;
1) Input AR Downpayment Request
no Journel Entry
2) Input Incoming payment
Cash $100 / Advance AR $100
3) Input AR Invoice
AR $100 / Sales Revenue $100
4) Input Journal Entry <== you need it
Advance AR $100 / AR $100
5) Reconciliation
for each Advance AR account, AR account
I hope above sample helps you...
Thanks,
Kaori

Source database in NOARCHIVELOG temporarily for maintenance

Hi all,
We have a big maintenance to run next week end. There will be mostly index rebuild, statistics gathered and so. We are using 10.2.0.3. Source database is a RAC one.
We would like to put our database in NOARCHIVELOG temporarily during this maintenance windows. This may sound like an easy task, but i rather consider it as a risky one - I need a 100% safe procedure!!
I wonderer, if there is arcticles in Oracle documentation or Metalink that could help.
I think I know several of the steps required:
- Stop the capture
- Put the database in NOARCHIVELOG mode
- Re-instantiate the tables using dbms_capture_adm.prepare_table_instantiation on the source database
- Ré-instantiate the tables using dbms_apply_adm.set_table_instantiation_scn on the destination database
- I think I will have to advance the SCN on the capture but I'm not sure if I have to change the FIRST_SCN or the START_SCN or both?
- Put the database back in ARCHIVELOG mode
- Start the capture
I'm not sure in wich order i have to do these tasks.
Thank you for any advice/link on that subjet!
Jocelyn

Thanks a lot Rijesh for your response,
In the meantime, I do my own search and came to the same conclusion.
I also experimented with note 471695.1 on Metalink (Required Steps to Recreate a Capture Process). It "almost" works! It recreates the capture correctly, but it does not carry the existing table rules... (the content of DBA_STREAMS_TABLE_RULES before dropping the capture).
So it's probably going to be much easier to recreate the whole thing from scratch (we have an existing procedure that is very mature).
Regards,
Jocelyn

Why am I getting 'Unable to signon to the Source Database.' just prior to 'Running the DBTSFIX Report' step.

We are upgrading from Tools 8.53 to Tools 8.54 in HCM. I am receiving logging event 'Unable to signon to the Source Database.' just prior to 'Running the DBTSFIX Report' step. I found case 1545297.1 where it said to choose initial move as opposed to move

For Tools only upgrades, while creating the jobs, you should choose 'Initial' and not 'Move to production'
An excerpt from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E56736_01/psft/acrobat/Getting_Started_on_Your_PeopleTools_Upgrade_08_2014.pdf is given below
MTP indicates that this step runs only in Move to Production upgrade passes. The step is not applicable to the initial pass. This is not applicable for PeopleSoft PeopleTools-only upgrades.

Forms 6i against 11g database server - certification plan ? [ANSWERED]

Oracle folks, any plan to certify Forms 6i with a patchset against the upcoming version of the database server ? (before 6i ext. support ends end of Jan. 08)
We ported our Forms 6i apps to 10gR2 already but we want to support the 6i version of the c/s application against 11g database server.
thanx

;) this is what I meant. BTW, this is not just a user forum but it is also monitored by Oracle employees, Forms product managers, etc. So, it is one of the "official" resources if we need an answer from Oracle Corp. This apply to any OTN forum. If you look at Metalink, folks are posting there and on OTN hoping to hear official answers. This is not an issue that you can create an SR. This particular matter was discussed on ODTUG and with OPN, and it was OPN related Oracle Employee's suggestion to post it on OTN forms forum. Thanx anyway.
