Migrate File Server data from one volume to another

I am looking for the best way to handle this situation. We have a VHD that has a 4KB cluster size that is getting close to the 16TB mark so no expanding past that due to the cluster size. In the past whenever i needed to pull this off i would preload as
much data as possible with robocopy, then during a maintenance window take the share offline, do a refresh with robocopy then flip everything that i needed to flip drive letter and share setup etc.
I have the space to do a complete copy like this so that is not an issue. But other things to keep in mind are the data is deduplicated so we are talking 20TB total. The other is the backup of the File Server is done at a file level with DPM so DPM will
see this as a new volume and be an issue.
At this point i have time to plan and am just looking for ideas.

Hi,
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish.
The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume to the new volume.
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

How can I migrate file shares & permissions from one volume to another on the same server?

I am replacing a storage array and as part of that process, I need to move files/folders and Shares/permissions from one Volume to another volume within the same server.
The server is Windows 2003 file server. The file transfers are not a problem, moving all 40 shares with permissions etc. is my main concern because in order to maintain everything I need to change the drive letter of the new volume to match the old
one so that links to various resources throughout the network do not break.

Can't move files from one volume to another

Using the 1.2 client on SLED, I don't appear to be able to move files from
one volume to another. I have two drive "mappings", each to a
different volume on a NW65SP5 box, but when I try and cut and paste files
I get an error saying "Not on the same file system". However if I drop to
a terminal and just use mv, that works.
Is this a known issue?

Hmm, yep get the smae problem when trying to move files.
Copy works just great though.
I know there are some issues in Gnome/Nautilus that's being worked upon.
These are outlined in the Readme. For example it's not possible to copy a
folder from Server A to Server B, then delete the folder form Server A.
Finally later on copy the folder back to Server A from Server B.
Also Gnome is leaking file handles, which could be the cause for the
problem we're getting here.
I'll ask my contact at Novell about this and have him enter it in as a bug
if it's not a known issue.
For a workaround you already have a good alternative of using mv in a
terminal.

How to move only subset of data from one database to another?

Both source & destination are Oracle11g databases.
The requirement details are as below,
1) The database contains static as well as transactional data for telecom domain.
2) We have to move region-wise data from one database to another.
3) There are around 10 regions.
4) The region wise data extraction from source db is based on around 40 to 50 tables. Rest of the tables contains
static data & it will not change.
5) The volume is around 1 million subscribers per region.
6) The migration is required because
a) The client is upgrading its base product which uses this database
b) There is a change in structure of static tables
c) Hardware upgrade
d) The client want to start with single region on new database & rest of the regions will be operated from old
database.
7) Keep execution time to very minimum.
I am thinking to have solution as below,
1) Create destination database with upgraded db structure (as mentioned in 6b)
2) Create database links to access source db in destination db.
3) Write SQL queries to fetch data from all the respective tables for a specific region
4) Write separate PL/SQL blocks for each table to fetch data from source db & insert into respective table in
destination db
a) Use FOR ALL & bulk collect to improve the performance
b) Divide table data into multiple chunks & execute parallel batches (around 10) to insert the data
5) Validate pre & post counts to verify the success of migration
Is there any other better way?

How to move only subset of data from a partiular table by using transportable tablespace?
E.g. SUB table using SMP_SUB tablespace contains subscriber data in source database.
The indexes defined on SUB table are under SMP_IDX_SUB tablespace
The subscribers data can be categorized by different regions, say region_id column. Then how to move data & indexes of SUB table from source db to destination db?
any specific example would be helpful.

How to move tables with data from one client to another

Hello friends
I have 2 clients 001 and 002.
I have created a table with lots of data on client 001.
I have to get the same table on 002 also with the same data.
Is there an easier way of transfering this data from one table to another?
I would appreciate any feedback on this.
I know that mappings etc., can be done using the export and import of tpz file. So I want to know if there is any similar thing to transfer a table with data.
THanks
Ram

hi
thanks for the response
We are working on a sandbox system for demo purpose.
Actually we have two different group of people using two different clients created on the same server.
Our group is using client 001 and another group is using client 002.
We don't want the changes that one group does to the table to affect the other.
Our group has created a z-table and have entered considerable amount of data.
However, the other group also need to create the same table with the same data.
So to avoid double work, we were trying to see if there is a way to copy the table with data created on 001 to 002.
Any suggestions / feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

Different ways to Transfer data from one database to another database

Hi all,
What are the ways to transfer data from one database to another database. With the following options, i Can transfer data as far as i know. Please
correct me if i am wrong or tell me if there is any other options are available.
1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.
2) By using Export and Import utilities.
I told first one to my interviewer, he told, its strange, by using, COPY command also can we transfer data ? As far as i know, we can transfer data. Am i right ?
Thanks in advance,
Pal

transfer data from one database to another database.You mean store the data of one to another?
1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.every SELECT on a DB-link is transfering data. And you can have all kind of transfers and store on the e.g CTAS of materialized views or.... the SQL*PLUS COPY :
The COPY command is not being enhanced to handle datatypes or features introduced with, or after Oracle8i. The COPY command is likely to be made obsolete in a future release.
But there are many others. Check for ORACLE Streams, and the "COPY" your interviewer was mentioning is about the operating file system COPY right? That's transportable tablespaces.

Moving time-dependant data from one table to another (archiving)

Hello all
I would like to know if there's an easier solution or a "best practice" to move data from one table to another. The context of this issue can be found within "archiving".
More concretely: we have an application that uses several tables to log information to.
These tables are growing like crazy, and we would like to keep only "relevant" data in those tables, so I was thinking about moving data from these tables that have been in there for, say 2 months, to "archiving" tables.
I figured there must be some kind of "best practice" to get this done.
I have already written a procedure that loops the table that has the time indicator and inserts the records from the normal tables into the archive tables (and afterwards delete this data), but it seems to be taking ages to get it done.
Thanks in advance!

There is nothing to do with PL/SQL.

Transfer data from one database to another without identities but keep the relation b/w PK and Foreign key

Hi,
I need to transfer data from one database to another database (both are identical databases).
1. Not transferring identity columns (primary keys). the destination table might have the same key.
2. keep the PK's and FK's relation b/w parent and child table
3. I have 4 levels
Example: tableA (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3)
tableB (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
col2 , col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableA.col1
tableC (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
col2, col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableB.col1
tableD (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableC.col1
please advise me.
Thanks in advance

Migrating a webi report from one environment to another using import wizard

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please tell me what all access should I have on my ID to be able to migrate a webi report from one environment to another environment(e.g. from development to quality).
Regards,
Neeraj Sharma

Hi,
To use the Import Wizard utility, you basically need Administrator, Full Control to Top-level folder, and "Add objects to the folder" and "Edit objects" for this user on the root folder.
You need the least restrictive role, because you require absolute control for content promotion between 2 entitlement systems.
the webi document is the cherry on-top, you;ll have universes, connections, folders to bring over too.
Regards,
H
p.s. check Note 1450708 - How to restrict access to the Import Wizard from a Business Objects Enterprise system
and
Note 1297121 - What rights needed to use Biar File Extraction for a normal user while using Import Wizard ?

Move data from one fs to another from a particular position.

Hi all,
i have a requirement where i want to move data from one field symbol to another from a particular
position.
I have a work area which contains string values. i have converted this string to hexadecimal value .
in this hex string m lukin for a position where '0A' occurs. Now i have to pick the string till dis '0A' value and move it to some other field symbol. Can anybody tell me how to do that.
The code i have written is as follows:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE x.
             data: temp1 type string,
                   p_word type string,
                   temp2 TYPE string,
                   w_len TYPE i.
                   temp1 = wa_value-value. "this wa containd the value
                   w_len = strlen( temp1 ).
         if temp1 cp '"*'.
           ASSIGN wa_value-value TO <fs> CASTING TYPE x. " converting wa to hex value
              DATA: VAR TYPE i,
                    COUNTER TYPE i,
                    line_feed_count type i,
                    temp_count type i.
         VAR = strlen( wa_value-value ).
         CLEAR: COUNTER, temp_count, line_feed_count.
           WHILE COUNTER LE VAR.
            IF <fs>+counter(1) = '0A'.
            line_feed_count = line_feed_count + 1.
            COUNTer = COUNTer + 1.
            ENDIF.
            COUNTER = COUNTER + 1.
           ENDWHILE.
        endif.
Now , i want to pick data from starting till the position it gets '0A' and then again till it finds another '0A'.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As everyone has rightly pointed out, there is no direct way of transferring the data from one appset to another. However, there are definitely few ways of doing it:
1. Run export package. Export the data in flat file. Import the data using import DM package.
2. Export the data from the cube of your application in excel file. Then run the import DM package to load the data.
3. Run UJBR transaction in SAP. Take the backup of the transactional data. You will get few flat files. Run the import DM package.
All the above steps will work only if the structure of the applications in both the appsets is the same. Otherwise, you will have to modify the flat file before uploading the file.
Hope this helps.

Moving tables with data from one client to another

If you do not have the client field in your table, then the table is cross-client.
IF you have the client field filled with 001, then you need to create the same entries with client 002, I dont think that you can do this with a transport.
You have to write an ABAP that reads and writes the data.

Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

Hi,
please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
How/best we we can do it using bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
Thanks,
Vinoth

Hi Vinoth,
For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
adapter.
http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
records are available.
Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
SSIS
forum and you will get specific support.

Transfer of Data from one Database to Another

Respected Guys
Is there any way to transfer few fields from different tables located on a Database Server used by SAP to an other database used by an another application. The other database also have same fields and and Tables structure.
Both databases are located on different servers and are oracle9i.
Is there any way to transfer real time data from one database to another. If not then any way by which we can preiodically can transfer the data.
Thnx

Hi
U can use a <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/9c/d736b880c34f76b507bac7751a0474/frameset.htm">DBCON (Database Connection) tool</a>.
Here you should call another database and write SQL native code in order to transfer/read the data.
