Migrate NT to UNIX with minimum downtimo on production

Can we use the following steps to migrate a production database
from NT to UNIX using replication techniques with minimum
production downtime?
1. Create snapshot logs for all tables on NT.
2. Create snapshots for all tables on UNIX box. Refresh all
tables.
3. Bring down production. Rename the SNP$ tables to actual table
names corresponding to production tables on NT. Create all
constraints and indexes on UNIX box.
4. Start UNIX box in production.

Hi Saurabh,
Unfortunately we do not have the information you are looking for.
I would recommend that you contact Oracle Support directly. They
should be able to supply you with the best method.
This forum deals with migrations from non-Oracle applications and
databases to Oracle.

Cross platform migration from hp unix to sun

Hi
recently we have done cross platform migration from hp unix to sun (10g R2 RAC +ASM). It was a challenging experience to complete the migration in 8 hours downtime for a database of about 2 TB.
I would like to share the experience , so that it would be hepfull to others and i would learn more new techniques for improvement .
source environment:
HP-UX -ITANIUM - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle clusterware - ASM - Heavily loaded all the time .
Destination Env:
Sun solaris 10 - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle Clusterware - ASM
Total Downtime available : 6 hours.
Steps followed
1. snapshot backup of source database on a intermediate HP-Unix box. (stage area)
2. recover the database and start the rman image backup on to disk in stage area.
3. mount this filesystem locally (Veritas ) on to one of the node in the destination env.
4. Mount this filesystem as NFS on second node using a cross cable between both of them (we can use interconnect VLAN also here)
5. Keep applying the archive logs from source env till the downtime .
5. startup nomount the database , change the datafile names from ASM to RMAN image copy files and mount.
6. start rman convert statements and pump into the already exisitng ASM nodes with parallel sessions as much as possible (with 35 sets (513 datafiles) we were able to pump 2 TB data in 4.5 Hrs) - only system and undo datafiles need a convert statements (platform migration ) others would need a file system to ASM conversion only.
7. alter database open resetlogs in the destination environment.
8. create services manually and start the application.
we were given very less time to decide upon this stategy , By gods grace we were able to complete it .
I got a doubt while we are chalking out this plan .
can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.
Let me know if you see any more improvements in this.
Thanks
Naveen samala

can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.No. Thats not possible.

Error: source context file ul01appapplmgrlasrxadminLASRX_fiapd4.xml does not exist.
Questions:
======
1. we still need to install jdk in the TARGET or copy the file system from source(HP) to target( Solaris) bring the JDK and how to check jdk on Solaris?
2. In clone autoconfig XML, contextfile=? Is the location of SOURCE or TARGER?
3. I think running above with root permission.
Please help somebody on this issue.
Thank You.

Sorting singly linked list with minimum time complexity

Hi ...
anyone could tell me how can i sort singly linked list with minimum time complexity .... ????
Regards...

By MergeSort or QuickSort O(n log n). But then you
have to first extract the objects in the list,sort
them, then rebuild the list. But it will still bealot
faster than by keeping the list linked.Technically, I believe insertion sort is marginally
faster for small n ( <20 or so).Woohoo! So for 20 out of the possible 2147483648 array
sizes Insetion is faster!
Unfortunately, checking for that case probably wastes
all the time you get from using the faster sort...
That would depend on the actual distribution off array sizes. So it's an engineering decision.

VAT Perceptions in Argentina with minimum amounts (VA02 problem)

Hi,
I am creating a return order with transaction VA01 and exclude the calculated amouts for condition J1AQ. Then I visualize the order with transaction VA03 and the values are ok. But when use the transaction VA02 recalculates these values and set incorrect values in condition J1AQ.
We are calculating this condition according with note 506672, VAT Perceptions in Argentina with minimum amounts per document could be calculated with pricing formula 932 which was proposed in consulting note 102852 as a replacement for the standard formula 333.

Hi,
Were you using two currencies or was it all in the local currency?
Perhaps the exhcange rate changed in between each transaction?
Also, did you reverse with MBST or a 102 / 122 movement.

How to Migrate Business rules along with access privileges

Hi All,
I migrated business rules from prod to dev using lcm. The business rules got migrated correctly, but the access privileges did not. I tried exporting from EAS and import. Even then the access privileges were not migrated.How do we migrate business rules along with access privileges? Quick help is much appreciated.
We are on hyp. planning 11.1.1.3. and we use classic planning applications.
Thanks
Lakshmi

If they are native users/groups then it may be down to the ID for the users/groups being different across environments, this has always been a problem with business rules, with planning applications then there is the updateusers utility to sync up the ID with shared services.
Cheers

Essbase migration procedure from Unix to NT

Does anyone have a procedure to migrate essbase from unix to wondows NT? I know that is a procedure in installation guide Ch.10, but I think it is just for the NT to NT..

we did this last year. export the data from the databases to a text file, use level 0 if you only load at level 0.after installing essbase on nt, add the same name apps and dbs in nt, connect to the unix & nt servers in appman, copy the outlines/dbs from unix to nt. load the data from your exports.copy all the object files eg .csc, .rpt, etc from the unix server, reset all server, app and db settings, including cfg file and recalc.we recreated security ids, groups and filters
