Migrate Oracle 8i database to Oracle 11g

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle. I want to migrate a Oracle 8i database to a news server where Oracle 11gR2 already installed. Please, provide me step by step guideline.

Bijit,
This forum is for questions about migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle and not for Oracle to Oracle migrations.
You should open a thread in the Database Upgrade forum -
Database Upgrade
where they will have more experience of Oracle to Oracle upgrades and migrations.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

SSMA Console - Migrating Oracle 11g to SQL 2012

Hi there!
I have two questions related to migrating data from Oracle to SQL.
1) I have an Oracle database with several schemas. At the time of the connection SSMA loads all objects for all schemas presented in Oracle, which takes 1 hour to finish. Is there a way at the time of the connection to limit it to load only
the schema I want to work?
2) In case I want to extract, for example, 2 tables only. How do I prepare the script below to accept another table name?
I tried using a comma and repeating the command "$OracleSchemaName$.MySecondTable" but, didn't work.
<migrate-data object-name="$OracleSchemaName$.MyFirstTable"
                  object-type="Tables"
                  write-summary-report-to="$SummaryReports$"
                  report-errors="true"
                  verbose="true" />
Thanks.
Marcio

Hi Malisaqin:
Thanks for replying.
I've been through all articles related with SSMA but couldn't find any explanation for my questions.
For my second question I had to repeat the same node for as many tables I have. I'm still doing some tests with another variations to see if I can get it working.
The link you sent is about using the UI and not the Console application.
Thanks,

Migrating Oracle 11g from 32b to 64b

I figured I could use rman to do a full backup, including the archive files, control file, and SPFILE, and datafiles of the 32 bit version, and restore to a 64 bit OS.
But will that work? Are there docs on how to restore 32b backups to a 64b environment?

Hi
This procedure is for single instance or RAC:
In the 32 bit source server :
Make a full backup of database including all archivelogs
RMAN> run
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
backup database plus archivelog;
backup current controlfile;
} To do on the target 64 bit server:
1) Copy backup files from source server
2) Create the pfile or copy the pfile fromsourceserver
3) Startup nomount the new instance.
4) Connect to rman and set the dbid:
$ rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> set dbid=<dbid from 32 server>; 5) Restore the controlfile:
RMAN> restore controlfile from '/disk1/backup_32/backup_piece_name';
RMAN> alter database mount;
RMAN> restore database; 6) Identify the archivelog till you want to do the recovery and check if you have all the backups you need to do it, and run:
RMAN> run
set until sequence xxxx;
recover database;
RMAN> exit 7) Now Migrating to 64 bit:
SQL> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
cancel
SQL> alter database open resetlogs migrate;
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> startup Also please take a look in other methods in the following Metalink Note:

Primavera 6.2 SQL Database to Oracle 11g migration

Hi,
I used the migration tool to migrate a Primavera 6.2 SQL database to Oracle 11G DB. The migration tool runned successfully and I am able to login to the database using P6.2 client with no problem; however when attemptiong to update the license on the now Oracle database using the privuser account I get the following error "License could not be loaded because of error: List index out of bounds (247). Please make sure that you are using a privileged database login" the error comes up before I can browse to the location of licesne.txt file. Same procedure on a "native" Oracle P6.2 database works perfectly with no problem. Has any one run into this problem before? any help will be appreciated.

Best Reagrds,I have not seen that specifically but it appears that not all of the grants were correctly applied.
I would suggest running the schema validation tool which can be found on the knowledgebase as Solution ID: prim75459 as this will tell you what is missing/invalid.
Once you know that, you can pull the neccesary grants from the create scripts located in the cd1\install\database\scripts folder.

Migrate peoplesoft sybase HR database to oracle 11g

Hi All,
We am looking to migrate from sybase 12 to Oracle 11g. We are not sure on which path to choose for this migration to be done. Ths sybase Database is around 55 GB. Below are few questions. Please let me know. The down time on this database can not be more than 2 days at the max.
1. What is the best and fastest way to do this, if there is one?
2. Any Documentation on steps involved in migration?
3. Do we have to use any 3rd party tools for this?
4. Can we achieve the data migration with sql loader, if yes is it the suggested way to do this and is there any documentation on this?
I tried sql developer to do the migration but it did not go well and finally found that it is not the way to migrate a Database with peoplesoft environment, below is the link to explain more about what I have done with sql developer.
If there is any other information required, below link has almost all the information.
Re: Migrate peoplesoft sybase HRMS database to oracle 11g
Thanks
Kranthi

1)     Build an Oracle Demo system patched to the same release level as the current production system.
2)     Launch Application Designer and compare the production system to the demo system so you may capture the modifications.
3)     Load a custom table with the tables listed in the MVPRDEXP.EXP in the production system. Run a script to create an export script for all PSRECDEFN where the RECTYPE is 0. This identifies all application data tables. You may want to dms export large tables in parallel.
4)     DMS Import the exported data into the Oracle instance.
5)     Reapply the modifications.

Migrate peoplesoft sybase HRMS database to oracle 11g

Hi All,
I want to know if I can migrate a sybase peoplesoft HRMS database to oracle 11g using sql developer 3.0. I am trying to do this following the steps given in the link below but it is taking for ever for the convert step, I could see the messae saying building converted model.
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/sqldev/r30/SybaseMigration/SybaseMigration.htm
The sybase database is 55GB and the version is 12. There are around 20,000 tables in Sybase Database.
Please advise, if this is possible with SQL Developer??
If yes, how long this process might take(for each step in the above link), based on any past convertions of the same size database??
If this is not feasable with SQL Developer because of the complexity of the database, are there any other tools we can look into which might be faster/better than SQL Developer.
Please advise.
Thanks..

Hi Dermot, Tanks for the reply.
"Do you know the number of views and procedures captured". Below is the ouput from some of the tables in migration repositary.
count from md_derivatives table, grouped by derived_type.
MD_CATALOGS     1
MD_USERS     1
MD_CONNECTIONS     2
MD_SCHEMAS     4

MD_INDEX_DETAILS     112043
MD_COLUMNS     766244
Count from md_views table 34316
Count from md_additional_properties table 110322
"Is there a chance the convert phase has hung, or does it refresh ever so ofter with details of another object being "migrated"?"
It is not hung. I can see the message 'Translating views' right now, and the View names change often but not fast roughly every minute. When I checked for what the session is doing, I could see the below two sql statements.
SELECT PROP_KEY, VALUE, PROPERTY_ORDER, CONNECTION_ID_FK
FROM MD_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES
WHERE REF_ID_FK = :1
ORDER BY PROPERTY_ORDER;
SELECT ID
FROM MD_TABLES -- Some times this is MD_VIEWS
WHERE SCHEMA_ID_FK = :1 AND UPPER (TABLE_NAME) = UPPER (:2)
"What is the current "Being migrated" information?"
Translating View xxx.
"Does the tablespaces your migration repository schema is based on have sufficient space?"
Yes, Since there is no data at this point, it is all done in one table space which is set to grow UNLIMITED. At this point the size of the table space is a little over 500M.
"Is SQL Developer being run on the same machine as the Oracle database containing the migration repository? (conversion can be alot quicker for procedure,view,trigger conversion if SQL Developer is on the same machine as the repository)"
NO. SQL developer is running on my machine but the migration repositary is in the database which is on HP-UX box. Below are some of the details of the server. Also, since the database in on HP-UX, I couldn't find SQL developer for UNIX. I also read in the release note of 3.0 that it is not supported with UNIX, Is that right? else is there a way I can install SQL developer on the Unix server and that might improve the performance!, if yes, please guide me with the steps to do this installation.
Server:
Processors: 4, CPU version: PA 8700 CPU module 3.1, clock Frequency: 750MHz, Hardware Model: 900/800/L3000-7x, Kernel width Support 64.

Swap Space --> Avail: 4096 MB, Used: 4096 MB, Free: 0 MB
OS Identification: B.11.11 U
I see the below when I do a 'glance' on the server. Looks like it is using most of the memory and the Swap. These are the numbers from the server after the migration started, they stay consistent all time with very small variation.
CPU Util S SR RU U | 34% 31% 39%

Migrating MySQL database to Oracle 11g RAC

Hi,
I would like to migrate an entire database from MySQL to my new Oracle 11g RAC. How do I do it?

Hi Turloch,
I was able to configure SQLDeveloper to connect to Oracle and MySQL.
I am having a hard time migrating data from mysql maybe due to table size. I got mysql tables with more than 20M and the PC am running the sqldeveloper is running out of memory every time I try to migrate the tables.
Can you share some experience migrating from MySQL to Oracle?
Thank You.

Hi Naveen,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?You will need much more which suggestions.
You will need a Siebel professional which has done this type of migration. Migrating the Database is not a task so hard, after migrating your environment should be functional and healthy it is usually the task problematic.
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?We can recommend the minimum recommended, but this documentation already does, you need to do a analysis on your environment and ask a vendor Siebel tell the which is recommended for you and how to find the best "number" for you, in your case is very hard because everything changes.

Migrate oracle database 9i to 11g

Hi,
i am in charge for migrating existing oracle 9i running on windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 with oracle 11g,, could you please advise me on the procedures needed to accomplish that.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Basem

Hi Basem,
It is advisable to upgrade latest oracle version 11.2.0.3
The minimum required 9i version to 11.2.0.3 is 9.2.0.8
In case db version is less than 9.2.0.8, upgrade db to 9.2.0.8 using patch number 4547809
11.2.0.3 patch set is a full release. There is no need to install 11.2.0.1 software
First refer the upgrade path from below document

Migrating from Red Brick database to Oracle 11g -Need help with the process

Hi,
I am on this new project were we are migrating from IBM Red Brick Data Warehouse to Oracle 11g. We have a very tight time line. I was hoping if any of you have done this migration before and are willing to share their experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get a brief idea about how to go about the process.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
that is a matter of supply and demand, and as the demand to migrate Red Brick to Oracle RDBMS is very low, Oracle never included Red Brick into the migration tools.
If you search in the forums for Red Brick, you will not find much more than this one from the year 2006:
Re: Migration from rebrick 6.0.3 to Oracle 9i
Options:
In general we have the following options:
1. Oracle Migration Workbench
2. SQL Developer Migration Workbench
3. Generic Connectivity
4. SQL*Loader
Regarding your dedicated foreign database, option 1 and 2 fail as those tools
do not work against Red Brick DB.
Generic Connectivity would be an option if you have an ODBC driver to this database.
In this dedicated case, you can then set up generic connectivity (= a database
link to the foreign database using odbc).
The Oracle database we support generic connectivity can reside on Windows,
Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Linux.
If the Oracle database is on any other platform, you might migrate to a
database on this platform, then export the migrated DB and then load it into
the real target db.
Generic Connectivity will allow you to perform a SQL*Plus copy of tables; this
means you can create tables like they are defined in your source and transfer
the data to the Oracle db; but no procedures, triggers or anything coded can be
transferred.
Last option (4) is that you generate "flat files". This means ASCII-SPOOL
Files and then import them using SQL*Loader. As far as I know there is no
existing SQL*Loader sample file for Red Brick databases exports and you need to
write them on your own.
I recommend to read also the following note in My Oracle Support:
Note 233876.1: Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases
Best regards
Wolfgang

Need help in migrating MSSQL 2008 database to Oracle 11g

Hi everyone,
So, as stated above I want to migrate our apps database from mssql to oracle as it is what the client wants..
I have absolutely no experience working with Oracle.
My computer is running windows 7 32 bit, our DB people installed a 9i client for me to connect to the server and the my SQL Developer just came straight from the site. (So it's the latest release)
I have one "DBA" access to the database I'm trying to migrate to.
I've downloaded the Oracle SQL Developer and have been attempting to "migrate" our database using the migration tool for 3 days now, but to no avail.
So the error I'm encountering is that the migration just stops, and a popup with the message "Migration actions have failed. Check the migration reports for details. : The connection is closed." comes up.
I have no idea where the migration report can be found. As I cannot find it in the reports tab available.
I'm hoping someone here can have the patience and knowledge to get me through this?

The migration report is generally created under the "Documents and Settings" folder under application data/sqldeveloper. Key thing is at what stage the failure occurs?. Does it happen immediately after you start the data migration or after a while?.
If the data migration process fails immediately after the start then there might be an issue with permissions on the source/target databases. Probably it is having trouble with disabling constraints on the target database. Because rememeber SQL Developer will disable constraints before it moves data across. My preference is to give DBA privilege to the Oracle user to avoid just cases or you can disable the constraints yourself by using scripts. Check the source/target database date/time format masks. You can set them up in SQL Developer.
If the data migration process fails after a while and you notice that data for some tables is migrated then you may be running into network timeouts or space issues on Oracle etc.
HTH
