Merging 2 IFS Database

Hi.
Is it possible to merge 2 different IFS database. I hope because we have developed a application base on IFS and it was install in tow separate companies. There is now a merge and they what all the information on the same database. We cannot export raw data in XML because we also need all the IFS object type like RELATIONSHIP, PROPERTIES, EXTENDEDATTRIBUTES, plus all the binary document and versioned document attached to other document by relationship…
Please help.

Nothing like this is available out-of-the-box. You could build a migration tool that will read all the objects in one iFS instance and then create new objects that are identical in another iFS instance. Note that the migrated object IDs will be different.

Need help in merging two database

Dear All,
Can any one please let me know the methodology/Best practices for merging two databases.
We are having two oracle Database A and B, the data from
Database A has to be migrated to Database B using PL/SQL scripting.
it will be a great help,Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Use the DB Links and try to use the "MERGE" that is better.
you can clone it right, almost you are getting the same data from A to B and then you are going to Update is I am correct. Does the "B" consist the data, If yes then you can't clone on exiting DB, As i said above go for DB links and write custom scripts as per your requirement.
Refer for DB links

small no of datafiles.What are the steps for merging of database filesYou didn't mention your Oracle version.
See here for creating tablespaces http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sql/create_tablespace.html.
You can specify as many (or as few) datafiles as you like.
Then create tables in your new tablespace x_old_table_name(s) - you can Google this.
Then select the data from old_table_name(s) into x_old_table_name(s).
Drop old_table_name(s)
Rename x_old_table_name(s) old_table_name(s).
There may be a better way.

Merge different databases 10.2.0 in single database

We have different database, DatabaseA size is about 135GB and DatabaseB size is about 117GB. I want to merge both database in a single database by moving datafiles. Pl suggest, it is possible if yes, how?
Thanks,
Regards,

Warning before merging databases you need to look at certain factors especially those related to security. One or both databases may hold sensitive data. The application on one may run as the owner and the owner may have the DBA role. The owner password may be widely known so by merging the databases you are effectively granting DBA access to your other system to a wide range of people.
You also need to check for the same owning usernames (schema) objects existing. You have to check for the possibility of public synonym conflicts.
Also make sure both Oracle's are the same edition. You would not want to try to move an application running against the Enterprise edition to running against the standard edition without making a detailed check of the features in use.
For migrating database data from database A on machine A to database B on machine B besides traditional export./import processing you likely have the option of using the transportable tablespace feature to allow copying the files rather than actually moving the object DDL/data. This approach would likely be faster.

Hi,
Maybe your database was created in V9 or earlier, try selecting Tools>>Database>>Convert instead. If you still have a problem, can you post yout user db on this forum?

JMS Cache Synchronization - Merge or Database Read?

When an object in one JVM is changed does TopLink' JMS cache synchronization mechanism merge the changes into the other JVMS in a cluster or does it just signal that the object is dirty and the object is re-read from the database?
If the answer is 'merge' does a post merge event get called on the object being merged?
thanks
Steve

In TopLink 10.1.3 both can happen, the changes can be merged or an object can be marked invalid and TopLink will refresh the object as needed. In 9.0.4.X the changes will be merged into the other caches (if an object of correct version exists in that cache).
In the case of a merge postMerge() event will be called.

Merge two databases with identical schemas

I need to automate the merging of two identical databases into a new database using java.
Any help or pointers?

I need to automate the merging of two identical
databases into a new database using java.
Any help or pointers?I would start by changing the requirements ("using java").
Other than that certainly if there is any volume and if it needs to be running while you are doing it is going to be a real problem.
Excluding that you do the following.
1. For each table determine specifically what is meant by "are these rows equal".
2. Write a merge method for each table.
3. Write more methods to deal with foreign keys
4. Put everything together in such a way that it runs.
5. Provide a method for reporting errors.
6. Plan on spending a lot of time supporting it.

Problem with Merge in database adapter

Hi Everyone,
For my Bpel process I have the following:
1) File adapter
2) Receive activity
3) Transforms activity
4) Invoke activity
5) Database adapter
My Bpel process is working fine, no errors. It pick up the file ---> sends it to receive --> then transform the records --> then Invoke sends it to DB adapter to presist the records.
For the setting of my DB adapter, to preform an operation on my table I chose Insert or update option.
when running the same process multipul times my records in the table get duplicated. I dont understand why that is happening since I chose insert or update option in the DB adapter ??
How can I make my DB adapter overwrites the same records in the database if my file adapter picked up the same file that contains the same records ??
Thanks in Advanced,
AJ

Are you talking of a one off exercise, or is this something you want to happen every time a file is received.
Yes, what I mean if you want this as an on going step in your process then you would need to modify your existing process to add a new DB partnerlink that deletes the records. You could create a stored procedure that does both insert and delete if you only want one DB call though. This would replace your existing Db partner link that does the inserts.
cheers

Import or Merge Lightroom Databases

Hi,
I have Lightroom both on my PC and my Laptop and am looking for a way to get these two in sync. Is there any way that I could import the database from my Laptop into the one on my PC?
Thanks and regards, Robert

John is right. For a in-depth description, as well as a step-by-step exposition, check out Martin Evening's excellent coverage in the Photoshop Lightroom book. An update to the book is available as a PDF on the Lightroom-News web site

Using iPlanet Web Server 6.0 (with ASP or JSP), is it possible to create a StarOffice, Word or Acrobat document using a template and merging it with data from a database (say Oracle)?

Hi,
It is possible, But it has to be done through codes and iPlanet Web Server has nothing to do with it. But if you want to create the word document by ASP you have to install ASP plugin like ChilliASP (from Chilisoft) with iPlanet Web Server.Merging with database can be done through your code.

Merge Two Access Databases created with Test Stand

Hello All,
I am trying to merge 2 databases using LabVIEW.
When I read the values from the first database some of the numeric fields in the table are NULL.
When I try to write to the second database, those values are being written as 0 if integers and 0.0000 if doubles.
Is there a way to write those values as NULL in the second database if they are Null numeric fields in the first database?
Thank you in advance,
Stoimen

Hi Stoimen,
I am not sure how the flow of your program goes, but you could use the Database Variant to Data to cast the database variant to another type. This will accept the NULL values from the database and from there you can manipulate them how you wish. This tutorial may also be helpful in explaining the Database Variant to Data function in LabVIEW, specifically this section: "The null type arises naturally when working with databases (fields in a record are allowed to have null values), so Database Connectivity Toolkit has a special Database Variant to Data function that handles null values, but detecting them requires several steps."
I hope this helps!

Installing 11i on Solaris and migrating 8.0.5 to new 8.1.6 database

I've installed 11i (several times) on a new Sun solaris server. I also selected it to install a fresh database. On another server we have 11.0 and 8.0.5 database. We are using a new server to install 11i and we want to move our database over. I managed to transfer all database files over to the new server and upgrade to 8.1.6 (succeeded)
How do I proceed now to get the 11i applications to use the database i've transferred over. Is this possible??? Can't find any clear documentation on how to merge this database into the applications 11i.
Thanks
null

Gina, I am attempting something similar... but it involves moving an exisiting installation from HP-UX to Solaris, so I cannot move the datafiles... If I run into a method that helps both of us, I will let you know... as of now, I am installing fresh on Solaris and going to try to run upgrade scripts on existing 10.7 and exp/imp into the new instance on 11i (Solaris).
Let me know of anything you find out that could help me, and I will do the same...
thanks

Database usage with Motion and/or Shake

Is it possible to create templates in motion that pull information from databases to fill drop zones? Since Shake uses c programming, can you merge a database with shake to create video content? For example, if you create a database and list in that database pics and text, can it be merged with Shake or Motion to create the video?

Motion doesn't have this kind of option at least at the moment.
Only thing that comes to my mind is that you can make database connections to Quartz Composer files and use those as generators in Motion through Noise Industries FxFactory Pro.
Of course if you're coder you can also edit Motion files (which are XML) with any text editor and change your drop zones by hand. Actually I think there was/is some program which allowed you to modify/render huge amount of Motion templates with information coming from different sources.
UPDATE: Okay now I remembered the product. It's Digital Heavens AutoMotion. No Idea how well it works but you can download trial from their site.

How to convert from ifs date format to sql based dates

I want to write a sql query using dates, to search an ifs
database. Ifs stores dates as numbers created using the
java.util.Date class. These dates are accurate to seconds.
PLSQL uses a different format.
What I need is a PLSQL function that converts PLSQL date format
to and from the java.util.date format.
This is an example of what I would like to do.
String classname = "DOCUMENT";
String whereclause = "CREATEDATE > theNeededFuction(to_date('01-
Jan-2001', 'DD-Mon-YYYY'),'j')";
Selector mySelector = new Selector(login.getSession());
mySelector.setSearchClassname(classname);
mySelector.setSearchSelection(whereclause);
I do realize that I could simply convert the date in java, but
in the long run, I want to use the oracle tools that support
busness day calulations.
-Mitch

Hi Mitch - our ViewSpecification functionality automatically
includes an Oracle Date column, which is derived from the java
date values we store. These views are the supported way of
performing read-only operations against an iFS instance.
For yor reference, the Oracle date column is derived using the
following SQL operation (e.g. for createdate):
to_date('01-JAN-1970', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + (createdate/86400000)

Caching in IFS

As an application developer I would like
to understand what all iFS caches. What
happens in a load balanced scenario?
Let us say I have two iFS applications
that hit the same iFS database. If iFS
does any caching, does it take care of
refreshing the cache when one instance
of the application changes data (user
profile, ACLs etc).
I would like to know what gets cached
in iFS.
null

Allow me to clarify a few things.
You can think of an iFS service as the "black box" that handles all the communication between the iFS server software (Java) and the database. An iFS service is "pointed to" a specific schema in a specific database instance (recall that you get to choose these with the iFS Configuration Assistant).
The iFS service manages the caches, connection pools, etc., hiding all the details from iFS clients. (iFS clients are you, the developer who uses the published API, as well as each protocol server and application, such as FTP and the WebUI.)
In iFS 1.0 and 1.1, each iFS application (like ServerManager or SMB) has a single iFS service -- that is, each JVM has a single iFS service (note that this is not a restriction, it's just the default configuration; if you really wanted to, you could have multiple iFS services in a single JVM).
Each iFS service has an associated configuration file, which you can find in the $ORACLE_HOME/ifs/settings/oracle/ifs/server/properties directory. Note that just because a service configuration file is present in the afforementioned directory does not mean that that service is up and running; the service properties file is just one of the services that you COULD start up.
Each iFS service manages a set of iFS sessions (you create a session when you get a new LibrarySession instance using the LibraryService.connect method).
When you start adding middle tiers, the pattern still holds. For instance, if you have FTPServer1 on MachineA, that's one iFS service. If you add FTPServer2 on the same machine (MachineA), that's another iFS service. If you add FTPServer3 on MachineB (a second computer), that's just another service. The visibility rules described above apply in the same way in all of these cases. All you need is a connection to the database, which is provided by the Oracle Client (JDBC over Net8).
Finally, let me just say that synchronizing these caches is non trivial -- iFS is an extremely powerful distributed application. (I had to get that in there.)
