Thank you for the information. The link you have mentioned is about migration the environment of a machine to a VM. But i'm looking for migrating an Oracle Database 11g from a Physical Machine (Linux x86) to a Virtual Machine( Linux x86) created using Oracle VM. Can you help me out in this.
Thanks :)As far as I understand it this is not really VM related.
You have an existing linux machine .... uname -a ... with a partiocular OS and kernel and set of packages installed ....
And a guest VM running linux ... uname -a .... with hopefully the same/similar OS and set of packages installed, similar users, directory layout etc.
And you wish to get the Oracle (Classic RDBMS) home software cloned/migrated and an oracle database cloned/migrated.
There's a number of different senarios here ... can i help you out .... (the answer is I could but i dont have time).
The start point is good planning and careful notes if you are attempting to change any versions / layours etc.
You might have stages like (this is a top of head fagpacket and perhaps not best terminology):
- Install basic Linux software on VM guest.
- Install additional linux packages
- create groups, users, directories, system parameters etc.
- Create or clone oracle home.
- clone oracle database by eg RMAN or otherwise.
Different forums may help different stages if necessary.

Manual conversion from VMware to Oracle VM

Hi,
Could anyone please give me a detailed procedure about converting a machine from VMware to Oracle VM format?
Our VMware machine have the "-flat.vmdk" format and OVM manager is not converting them. I was advised that I need to do the whole procedure manually.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Sam.

Guys, I am happy to advise that we got a solution for this problem.
For all those who are unable to convert from WMare to OVM because of the extension *-flat.vmdk just contact Oracle support and ask for a patch for BUG 9569399.

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

reproduced and see exception in console, bug logged.

Migrating from Progress to Oracle

Hi,
Wonder if someone's migrated from Progress to Oracle. What tools are available ? what are the constraints/pitfalls/limitations/restrictions ? I need to understand the overall migration process (not having done one yet). What are the tools ? what the procedural steps specifically to go from Progress to Oracle ?
If someone has done such project, I can use some highlights (if you can share your knowledge/experince).
Much appreciate any response.
Rohit.

Here is a bit of an update gathered from my own research on this issue. Hopefully, it can help someone with the same requirement as mine.
1. Oracle Migration WorkBench does NOT have support for Progress yet and according to Oracle sales, it may never be made available. Thus MWB is not an option.
2. Oracle Migration Toolkit is a possibility as it does have support going from Progress 6.x and 7.x to Oracle 7. The limitation here is that you can only go up to Oracle 7 from Progress 6.x or 7.x. In this case, I can migrate to Oracle 7 and then once all is well, upgrade Oracle to 8i or whatever.
3. The last option is, if migration toolkit does not work out, go the traditional route which is to export/extract Progress out into flat files and then load into Oracle using SQL Loader.

Monitoring Oracle Virtual Machine for Solaris servers and LDOMs

Hi all,
could anyone tell me if we can monitor Oracle Virtual Machine for Solaris servers and LDOMs with only Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c, or shall we need to install Ops Center ?
Thank you in advance.

I had the same issue. Upgrading Virtual box from 4.1.16 to 4.1.20 solved the problem.

Windows on oracle Virtual Machine

Hi
We have a server x86-64.We have installed Oracle Virtual server on this server.
Now we have a requirement of installing Windows Operating system on oracle virtual machine.
is this possible?
I checked available virtual templates on oracle edelivery. but there was not any available for windows.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can install windows on Oracle VM Server, but no template with windows.
- you should import the windows.iso file in the repository
- create a VM with the type HVM or HVM, PV Drivers ...
- Install a windows
I hope this can help you

Migration from Progress to Oracle

Could you tell me if there is a tool for migrate from Progress to Oracle?
Thank you for your help.

DB Migration from MYSQL to ORACLE Using Offline Capture

Hi
Am doing a database migration from MySQL to Oracle using SQL Developer (version 2.1.1.64). So far, I've successfully captured the MySQL database and converted it to the Oracle Model. However, when generating offline scripts to create the converted model schema into Oracle DDL scripts it managed to generate SQL to create: 1) User 2) Sequences 3) Tables 4) Triggers and 5) constraints.
It has created the SQL to add the primary key constraints and index constraints. Although it did the foreign key constraints in the SQL, the foreign key constraints seems to have missed the cascading options for the foreign key constraint. I.e. theres no reference of whether the foreign key constraint will restrict on delete or cascade etc.
We have a foreign keys in the MySql database that have different cascading options and these have not being ported over into the migration SQL. Therefore, all the foreign keys generated in the SQL by default are cascade to restrict on delete.
Does 'Generate Oracle DDL' not take into account a foreign key's on delete cascading option?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
that reminded me for the following thread:
Migration Microsoft SQL Sever 2005 to Oracle 11g cascade on delete problem
That is a similar issue, isn't it?
I opened a bug for that, and it will be fixed in SQL Developer 3.1 (not in any 3.0 Early Adopter version). If you hit the same issue, there is no other way then using the workaround as used in the mentioned thread.

Migrating from Sybase to Oracle

Hi!
Can someone tell me, how to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
Thank U.

Hi,
You don't say if you have used the SQL*Developer migration workbench for the migration so far.
This has a feature for transferring data offline which should do what you want.
Have a look at the documentation linked from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or at -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm

Issue during migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer v 3.2.20.09 to migrate from Sybase to Oracle Pl/SQL 12c
While migrating the stored procedure the following block did not convert. I got NULL instead of object_id:
Sybase Block:
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.CheckEst
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
PRINT ‘<<>>’
ELSE
PRINT ‘<<>>’
END
Oracle Block after conversion:
BEGIN
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE CheckEst;
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
END IF;
END;
END IF;
END;
Lines 1 & 4 got converted to NULL. I have many places where such code is written.
Is there any quick way to overcome such an issue? or what needs to be done in such case?

Hi,
You are using an older version of SQL*Developer. Could you download the latest 4.0.2 version available from here -

Customer Reference regardinf Migration from COBOL to Oracle Developer

Hi,
Can anyone please share customer references regarding migration from COBOL to Oracle Developer.
Appreciate if someone can help.
Thanks,

Can you please share some tools / methodology to perform such migrations particularly from COBOL to Oracle Developer??BIG question. Actually, we did it the hard way -- completely rewrote the entire application. Took 4 years with 8 to 10 developers and analysts.
The only tools we used were what you get from Oracle: Forms, SQL Plus, Reports. It was a huge project, done partly to overcome the Y2K century problems.
AS for training, we did not really get any. We just waded in and started writing code ...which definitely improved after about 6 months.
What sort of system are you looking to convert? How much on-line user interface does it currently have? How many data files?

�Unable to create the virtual machine. The error was -4�

I have a VS2003 C# application, which call JACE (a JNI wrapper) through C++ mixed mode to use JAVA object�s functions.
Because the natural of our JAVA program it must be able to reach maximum heap size of 512MB, we set it during the startup of JVM by using �-Xmx512M� parameter.
It worked well with a small PC (Dell Optiplex GX750 and Shuttle Xpc ) with only 512MB physical memory. We have about 50 machines running the application in the production.
Recently, one of our customers installs the application to a larger PC ( Shuttle Xpc with different model), which has 1 GB of physical memory. The application started throw exception from JVM. The error message is �Unable to create the virtual machine. The error was -4�. I checked with JNI return code and found that -4 mean �not enough memory�.
I did some experiment by running the application with 2GB PC, 1 GB PC, 1GB laptop, 512MB PC. I don�t found relationship between how much �maximum heap size� can be assigned and how much �physical memory� is available (reading from task manager). The 2GB machine can take only 128MB of �maximum heap size� However, 1GB machine can take up to 300MB of �maximum heap size�.
I also use program like ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) to test maximum heap size for it. I found that ImageJ can take 512MB maximum heap size without problem. It can even take 1024MB of maximum heap size.
I have created a small program to duplicate this problem. Although it use exact the same code to start JVM up, it can go up to 650MB heap size for both 2GB and 1GB PC.
This is puzzling. Does anyone know what are factors determine how much �maximum heap size� can be set for JVM from JNI?
Software used
Windows XP SP2
Visual studio.net 2003 SP1 (the problem also occurred without SP1)
.NET Framework 1.1 SP1
JACE 1.1rc1_05
JRE 1.5.07 (also tested with JRE 1.5.09 and 1.6.0 beta)

Do you resolve the problem? If so what was the fix?
I have been getting the Java Virtual Machine Launcher error message Could not create the virtual machine when attempting to run an Oracle application that uses JNLP via a browser. Even clicking on componets such as javaw.exe produces the error message. In conjunction with receiving the error message, the application that I am working with will not launch.
I had JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 installed and thought that installing JDK 5u17 may resolve the issue. I removed JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 and installed JDK 5u17 (and the included JRE 5u17.) The error message was still there.
I have unistalled (via Add/Remove programs) and reinstalled (via both Win off-line and on-line) JDK 5u17 and JRE 5u17 many times.
During the uninstalls I have received a Java Web Start 1.5.0_17 bad installation error invoking JVM error message.
I have restarted the machine also.
There are some remains of J2RE 1.4.2u13 still on the machine even after the 1.4.2u13 uninstall. The Java\j2re1.4.2_13\lib folder remains.
I am running Win XP SP2 and IE6 SP2.
Note: I cannot use Java 6 since the application that I am working with is Java 5 based.
