Migrate Oracle 9i/windows database to Oracle 10gR2/Linux RAC

Hi,
What is the most appropriate strategy to migrate a database from oracle 9i on windows to another server having Oracle 10gR2 RAC on SUSE Linux 9?
Thanks
Satish

If the database size is not very large, then export/import would work. Make sure the data files are copied using binary mode. (or run the export from the 10gR2 installation and connecting to the Windows 9i instance.) Create all the Roles and Tablespaces and Users (and the grants) on 10g prior to the import.

Oracle 10GR2 + Linux

I'm planning to install Linux & Oracle 10GR2 into my Dell server at home that I bought so I can learn Oracle. Could anyone recommend what Linux should I install work best with Oracle 10GR2 and where should I download for free.
Thanks in advance,
Vu

There are Linux distributions which are certified for Oracle SW (Redhat EL, SuSE ES, Asianux) but I think they are not downloadable for free (in full not just eval. vesion).
But there are distributions which you can download for free and there you can run Oracle.
Centos, WhiteBox Linux - there are distributions completely built from original RH EL packages.
I got good experience with Oracle on mainstrem distributions as Fedora and Suse.
Of course these distributions are not certified for Oracle products but Oracle is running fine on them.
But I think you could use whatever of Linux distribution.
Here is link for installation papers&tips http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/index.html
Here is link to site which is tracking almost all Linux distributions and there you can find links for download - http://www.distrowatch.com

Oracle 10gR2 linux x86 to LoP migration

Dear All,
I have a case about migrating 10gR2 DB from Linux x86 platform to Linux on Power. I've tried exp/imp and DBCA template, but still it doesn't work. LoP can't read the controlfile from x86, and always returned error. Can anyone help me how to solve this case? Much appreciated. Thank you.

There are two options to migrate database crossplatform. Either using export/import or Tranportable Tablespace option.
Either case, you need to have a new Oracle installation on Linux on Power and use DBCA to create a new database as target DB.
What's the error you had?

How migrate Oracle 2 node RAC to EBS R12

Hi
How to migrate normal oracle 2node rac to ebs r12.
Regards,
Subba.

Happy to help you ... well I would be if I had any idea what you are asking.
A two node RAC cluster is two physical servers, and a storage array, running a single Oracle database of unknown version number: No application and no application server.
EBS R12, I presume, is a totally different product named E-Business Suite version 12.x
They have different architectures, different licensing, different, resource requirements, and totally different management requirements.
So I see two possible answers to your inquiry.
1. You far more clearly explain what you are asking.
2. You burn the two-node RAC cluster to the ground and install the product you want. That said would recommend not putting the application components of EBS on the two node cluster so you will need at least one additional server.

How to migrate DB from single node 10gR2 to RAC 11gR2 on diff platform?

How to migrate DB from single node 10gR2 to RAC 11gR2 on different platform with possible minimum downtime? We have a situation of upgrade/migrate oracle 10gR2 single instance DB to 2-node RAC 11gR. The source OS is Solaris 10 on SPARC and the target OS is Linux (the target servers could be changed to Solaris 11 x86 if needed). What is the best solution on that?
Thanks,

Technically, can do the following for upgrading and migration?
1. Create 11gR2 oracle home on the same server and upgrade the database from 10gR2 to 11gR2 by running conversion (2 hour down time?)
2. Set up Heterogeneous Primary and Physical Standbys by RMAN. The standby is the RAC with ASM. No need down time. (from Solaris Space to Linux - this may be a problem)
3. At the cutoff time, activate the standby DB from the RAC ASM.
If feasible, do we have some detail guild line for each step?

G.7.2 Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database
To migrate an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 32-bit Windows to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
Install Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows.
See Also:
Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows
Create the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) service at the command prompt:
C:\> ORADIM -NEW -SID SID [-INTPWD PASSWORD ]-MAXUSERS USERS
-STARTMODE AUTO -PFILE ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE\INITSID.ORA
The following table provides more information on the values you must supply.
Parameter      Description
SID     SID of the database you are upgrading
PASSWORD     Password for the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows database. This is the password for the user connected with SYSDBA privileges. The -INTPWD option is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
USERS     Maximum number of users who can be granted SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges
ORACLE_HOME     Oracle home directory. Ensure that you specify the full path name with the -PFILE option, including drive letter of the Oracle home directory.
Copy the 32-bit datafiles to the new 64-bit Oracle home.
Copy the 32-bit configuration files to the 64-bit Oracle home.
If your 32-bit initialization parameter file has an IFILE (include file) entry, then copy the file specified by the IFILE entry to the 64-bit Oracle home and edit the IFILE entry in the initialization parameter file to point to its new location.
If you have a password file that resides in the 32-bit Oracle home, then copy the password file to the 64-bit Oracle home. The default 32-bit password file is located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\database\pwdSID.ora., where SID is your Oracle instance ID.
In the 64-bit Oracle home, add the _SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED = false parameter to the ORACLE_HOME\database\ORACLE_SID \init.ora file before changing the word size.
Remove this parameter from the initialization file after the word size change is complete.
See Also:
Oracle Database Upgrade Guide for more information on changing word size
Go to the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory from the command prompt.
Start SQL*Plus:
C:\> sqlplus /NOLOG
Connect to the database instance as SYSDBA:
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA;
Re-create the 64-bit control files using the CREATE CONTROLFILE command. Edit the trace file created in "Backing Up a 32-Bit Oracle Database" to change the paths to the datafiles, log files and control files to point to the Oracle home on the 64-bit computer. This creates the new control file in ORACLE_HOME\database.
Here is an example of a database named "orcl32" on a 32-bit computer migrating to "orcl64" on a 64-bit computer:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "T1" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 32
    MAXINSTANCES 16
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    # was   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...LOG'
    # on the 32-bit computer
    GROUP 2 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    GROUP 3 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 1M
DATAFILE
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\SYSTEM01.DBF',
    # was 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...DBF'
    # on the 32-bit computer
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\RBS01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\USERS01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\TEMP01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\TOOLS01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\INDX01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\DR01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;
Alter the init file from the 32-bit computer to include the new control file generated in the preceding step.
Start the database in RESTRICT mode:
SQL> STARTUP RESTRICT;
You might need to use the PFILE option to specify the location of your initialization parameter file.
Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification of success. For example:
SQL> SPOOL catoutw.log
Enter the following command to view the output of the script on-screen:
SQL> SET ECHO ON;
Recompile existing PL/SQL modules in the format required by the 64-bit Oracle9i database:
SQL> @utlirp.sql;
Turn off the spooling of script results to the log file:
SQL> SPOOL OFF;
Check the spool file and verify that the packages and procedures compiled successfully. Correct any problems you find in this file.
If you were viewing the output of catoutw.log on-screen, disable viewing now:
SQL> SET ECHO OFF;
Exit the RESTRICT database mode:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
The word size of the 64-bit Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database is changed. You can open the database for normal use.This is from the link

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

Migrate oracle 10.2.0.5.0 enterprise on windows server 2003 32bit to Linux

Hello,
I am trying to find any white paper regarding the benefits of migrating oracle database from windows server 2003 32bit
to RedHat linux server 64bit.
The current db version on windows is 10.2.0.5.0
The new version on linux will be 11.2.0.3.0
If anyone crossed such a white paper describing the pros & cons for such a migration..
Thanks alot.
Edited by: user7320646 on Jan 9, 2013 5:45 AM

John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
1. From 32bit -> 64bit
2. From Windows to Linux
3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.

JRE Error : while Install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003

Hello,
I am trying to install a Oracle 10gR2 on windows server 2003.
I have unziped the files and when I run the oui.exe it gives the below error:
cannot find any matches for wildcard specification "../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.5.0.0./1/DataFiles/*.jar
Error : JRE missing in Scratch Path
I tried changing the oraparmaini file but it did not allow to make any changes.
Not sure if its looking for any particular java files.
What should i edit ,to specify the java location.
Thanks

What exactly did you unzip? This error occurs if there are several zip-files extracted to different target locations. But - if I remember correctly - 10gR2 database is only one zip-file, so you should not face this issue. JRE for OUI is part of the downloaded software,so you don't need to specify a location for JRE, OUI knows where to find this.

Oracle Forms 6i client/server against an Oracle 10gR2 database

Hello
We have the following situation:
Oracle Forms6i/Reports6i client server application against an Oracle 8i cost-based database. we want to migrate this application
step 1:
Migrate the database to 10gr2, but do not touch the client application
Go live
step 2:
Migrate the development environment to 6i webforms.
Production environment stays client server.
With this construction we can still create new patches/functionality.
step 3:
Migrate to Forms10gR2 (and reports)
I know Forms 6i is not supported anymore.
My question is on step 1.
When I read NOTE: 338513.1 entitled "Is Forms/Reports 6i Certified To Work Against Oracle Server 10g Rel 1, Rel 2 or 11g?" carefully
it says that Forms 6i is not certified against 10gR2.
On OTN I read several posts that this works ok (assuming you do not use the wrong character set).
I also read on OTN that patch 18 (which is only supported for EBS customers) is certified against 10gR2.
The questions:
- Is Oracle Forms patch 18 certified against an Oracle 10gR2 database? (or only for EBS)
- Is there anybody out there that can confirm that Oracle Forms 6i C/S works against Oracle 10gR2
Regards Erik

Thank you.
Now I found it.
But how do I read that page.
It says:
Client Certifications
OS      Product      Server Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      N/A      Desupported
Application Tier Certifications
OS      Product      Server      Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      9.2      Desupported
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      10g      Desupported
I read this as follows:
Patch 18 was certified agains a 10g database in a webforms environment.
No client server mentioned and Server 10g , so no 10gR2!
I'm I right?
Regards Erik
