Migrate hundreds of Oracle databases to RHEL/Windows using DP/TTS/Shareplex

Am working on devising a migration strategy for several Oracle databases from one physical data-center location to another data-center location through dedicated WAN links. Overall snapshot:
Total 365 Dbs (28 to Oracle RAC 11gR2 and approx. 300 to DataGuard and Standalone). Source Databases versions are Oracle 9.2.0.4/9.2.0.7/10.2/10.2.0.4/11.2/11.2.0.4.
Source Databases are currently on different versions of Linux/HPUX/AIX/Windows OS. Target Database OS platform(most of them): RHEL 5.8/RHEL 6(atleast for Unix) and Windows. Plan is to migrate same versions and not upgrade(due to applications dependency). am thinking of using
-Oracle Datapump
-Transportable Tablespaces+RMAN scripting(for target datafiles)
-Shareplex for Databases in TB (this tool allows ZDT, zero-downtime migration/from Quest software)
Also my Storage/SAN colleague is using Swing gear (AUTO-LUN+BC) to migrate virtualizing the storage arrays from Source to Target location. Is it possible to "piggyback" on this SAN-level migration of the "physical" datafiles and then use Shareplex to migrate the archivelogs and apply them over to Target databases?
Need your inputs please. Thanks in advance..

Abhijit,
If you haven't had any feedback yet then the best option is to ask this question in the Database forum -
Forum: Database - General
General Database Discussions
This forum is for migratiing from non-Oracle to Oracle databases and they will be better able to help moving Oracle from one machine to another.

Mike

Migrating OBIEE Repfrom Oracle database to SQL server database in Solaris.

Hi,
I need inputs in how we would migrate our connections in Repository from Oracle database to SQL server database in Sloaris server.
Is there a complication here.
Regards,
Bhavik

Well that makes more sense, you probably have phrased your question better. Microsoft SQL Server Connectivity Components are not supported in any other operating system than Windows. So you will not be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to your SQL Server. ODBC it's an option but there aren't many ODBC drivers for Unix systems. Luckily for you OBIEE includes the DataDirect ODBC drivers and supports using them to connect to a SQL Server. Check [the documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_101331.htm#sthref9] on how to use them. Having said that I would say that whoever is pushing to move your DWH to SQL Server should consider also moving OBIEE to a Windows server to be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to SQL Server.

Thanks in Advance

If you are running the x64 version of Windows 2003 and not the Itanium version, you will find 10.2.0.1 here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winx64soft.html
You may then patch it to 10.2.0.3 by downloading the patch from Metalink.

Hi Voitto,
Actually , it is not a windows related question .
But I found some infomation :
Oracle Database for Windows x64 is supported on the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2008 x64 and Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 - Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, and Foundation editions.
Windows 7 x64 - Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions

32 bit Oracle database 10g to 64 bit Oracle Database 11g on Windows 2008

Hi everybody,
I'm going to move and upgrade my 32 bit Oracle database server 10g to another 64 bit windows 2008 server.
New database server will be 64 bit Oracle database server 11g.
Somebody told me export import doesn't carry archieve logs therefore is there any way to move and upgrade the database without any lost?
Thanks for your help

I'm going to move and upgrade my 32 bit Oracle database server 10g to another 64 bit windows 2008 server.
New database server will be 64 bit Oracle database server 11g.
Somebody told me export import doesn't carry archieve logs therefore is there any way to move and upgrade the database without any lost?Yes, in export/import, you will create a new database and import. The question is why you want to prefer export/import?
is it source database 32bit is in different OS platform? If not directly after installation you can upgrade the database. using DBUA

Oracle Forms 6i(32-bit) = Oracle database 10g R2 Windows 2008 R2 64-bit)

We have Oracle database 10g R2 installed on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) (SERVER1)
We have Oracle Forms 6i (patch 4a) installed on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32-bit) (SERVER2)
I am not able to connect from SERVER2 to SERVER1, either through SQLPLUS or FORMS BUILDER.
Its giving some DLL error.
Is it because forms 6i (32-bit) cannot connect to a 64-bit database on a 64-bit OS ?

There might be problems with 8i clients (like forms 6i) if the database uses AL32UTF8 characterset indeed (if you need unicode and you need to run forms 6i use UTF8 instead) but this should not be related to the platform of the database.
The platform of the database server really should not matter as the forms runtime talks via SQL*Net with the database server and in the end it does not matter if the database runs on linux, windows whatsoever or unix 32 or 64 bit for the client. The only problem you'll encounter is that SQL*Net also changes with versions and thus "older" clients might not be able to communicate with "newer" servers and vice versa.

Test oracle database that I can use

Hi,
Does Oracle have some kind of test database that I can connect to remotely for testing purposes that I can access remotely? Alternatively, does Oracle have something similar to Microsoft's Northwind database that I can access remotely? I am playing around with different connection methods for a remote oracle connection but I am currently on my personal laptop and do not wish to access my company's remote oracle database on a non-workplace computer.
Thanks

Every oracle professional (or student) should have their own private computer lab. I'm assuming in this day and age anyone in this catagory already has their own computer. Starting from there, you should do the following:
1 - Go to vmware.com and download VMplayer. VMware freely distributes this so your cost so far is zero. If you are willing to invest about US$185 in your career, buy VMworkstation instead. It will give you some additional management features above what VMplayer has. Either product will allow you to create virtual machines on your personal computer.
1a - Install the VM product
2 - Go to oracle.com and download Oracle Enterprise Linux. Oracle freely distributes this, only charging if you want a support contract. As they also provide a free public yum server for distribution of most packages, even a support contract is not needed for your personal use.
2a - using your vmproduct and your downloaded linux, create a virtual linux machine.
3 - Go to oracle.com and download whatever db or related product you want. The terms of the oracle license agreement allow you the full use of any product for personal study.
By doing the above I have a full computer lab running on my Windows 7 laptop, for a total cost of US$185 - and even that cost was because I chose to upgrade my VM from VMplayer to VMworkstation.

Oracle Database 11g Backup Deduplication using CommVault

Hi Everyone
We have recently implemented Commvault solution for a Backup and Recovery of Oracle database and other IT softwares / fileservers. Oracle E-business suite 12.1.1 is implemented in our organization with 11g database 11.2.0.3.6, for all the backups we have enabled deduplication and it is giving more then 90& dedup on all softwares except for Oracle database, for oracle it is giving just 40% or max 50% which is not acceptable to our organization
Production DB sizee = 257 GB
Used block = 157 GB
Backup Policy = Daily Full backup incremental 0 with commvault dedup enabled
Deduplication % = 40 to 50 %
requiement = should be over 90%
Our database is small and there are around 6 to 7 GB of archives daily so the data is not changing much, commvault support is saying that the block signatures are changing due to this we are not getting the full deduplication and they are asking us to check what changes are made during the day and oracle support says that once the rman backup is completed it has nothing to do with the third party dedup, and we are stuck so i thought to put it in the forum and may be oracle gurus can help find a solution here, my questions are:
1. Is there a non issue of not getting fully deduplication of Oracle database using third party deduplication solutions? Is there any one who have used oracle backups with Commvault and dedup enabled, any help would be great
2. I also need to know how to check what changes are made in database on a daily basis.
Please help
Thank you
