Migrate Oracle Apps Instance from one server to another

Hi All,
We are planning on migrating our Production Oracle Apps Instance(11.5.10.2 and 9.2.0.8) on HP Tru64 UNIX OS on one server to a different server(Node name change) with the same OS. This is a single node, single OS user instance(Apps and DB on the same box). Can you please give me a brief idea on how to go about doing this?
Thank you.

Since you will be using the same OS, then you can simply use Rapid Clone to migrate the Application/Database.
Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
Make sure you have all OS pre-req. software and packages installed on the target nodes before you clone the instance.

Migration of company code from one server to another

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in the process of migrating company code from one server to another server. We have activated the company code with ewt in old server on 01.10.10. We have to migrate the same company w.e.f. 01.11.10 to new server.
we have two options one is to migrate the company without ewt activation where we can take all the open items and trial balance and then activate ewt and do the required health check up in ewt.
second option is to activate the ewt and then migrate , here the issue is that if open items are migrated after ewt activation the tds gets calculated again.
In indian scenario we have to pay the tds (challan updation) by 7th of next month, if we migrate then this is not possible because in the new server we do not have the data in the table required for clearing the entries. We are thinking of doing the challan updation in the old server itself.
Can you suggest us the option through which we can migrate the company code. If you have any other option then please suggest.
Prashant P. Zinge

Issue in migrating analysis service job from one server to another

Hi All,
I'm migrating analysis services from one server to another, within the source server there is a job with the name
denreportingprocess which executes a batch file within local drive on server. I have moved all the analysis services cubes from the source server to destination and all the databases on the source server have been restored to destination.Verified
cubes are pointing to the correct database by modifying the connection string within the datasource part of the cube databases.
I have copied the entire process folder from source to destination and edited the code within the run file and code within the job pointing the locations to new server.
Below is the job code, it is running a batch file placed in E drive
E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\run.cmd
Below is the text within the batch file (windows command script)
E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\ASCMD -S "servername" -i "E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\Process.xmla"
-o "E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\Log.txt"
Below are the list of files within the folder E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process
ASCMD
process.xmla
Logs.txt
run
When I run the job it is failing with below error message
Ascmd: Exception trying to impersonate user: Access to the path 'E:\MSSQL10_50.MSQLSERVER\process\log.txt' is denied.
Ascmd: Execution failed: Access to the path 'E:\MSSQL10_50.MSQLSERVER\process\log.txt' is denied.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Visakh,
Thanks for the reply, I have mapped the account under which the job was running to D drive, now it can access the file but job is still failing and error is not that informative.
Below is the error message with which the job is failing, where can i find this output file with errors

How do we migrate the OWB mapping from one server to another server?

Here is my situation.
Source server
================
Project name : SOURCEOWB
Under this project, we have two module(MBTSOURCE, MBTTARGET).
In connection explorer, the locations are DW_MBT_SR, DW_MBT_TR.
We have 15 mappings on this project.
Source schema name is TXMBT_DW.
Target schema name is MBTTX_DW.
I want to migrate the whole thing to new server.
Here are the info about target location. After migrating to new server, i need to rename
as below.
Project name : CA_SOURCEOWB
Under this project, we have two module(CA_MBTSOURCE, CA_MBTTARGET).
In connection explorer, the locations are CA_DW_MBT_SR, CA_DW_MBT_TR.
Source schema name is CA_TXMBT_DW
Target schema name is CA_MBTTX_DW
Here are my steps i followed.
===============================
1. Created the source and target schemas in new machine.
2. Create a new workspace
3. Export the mapping with dependent objects from source server and imported in new server.
4. changed the source and target location successfully.
5. Renamed the project namd, module names as i needed successfully.
But only issue is, i am not table to change the location name.
Again, i tried the below steps.
1. uninstall the workspace and create the workspace
2. create source and target locations as i needed(CA_DW_MBT_SR,CA_DW_MBT_TR).
3. import only mapping
4. Able to register the mapping
Here i am not able to configure the module for newly created locations.
I right clicked on module and click Configure, go to Stream Administrator and not able to find
the source and target locations over there.....
How do we resolve this?
My data warehouse is runing for each state. I want to copy one state mapping and import into
another state and customize the mapping. I have hard time to change the location name. Because,
location name has state code. I can not use the same location name for all other state.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello Oleg, Thanks for your input.. It helps... but the problem is not completly solved.
let me explain my whole steps. Plesae review and let me know if i missed anything.
1. Created new workspace. the workspace is successfully created.
2. Login to new workspace.
3. Go to Locations, create source location(entered host name,username, password etc)
4. Created target location(entered host name,username, password etc), go to db connector on target location, created new db connector and linked the source location here.
5. Exported mapping and import into new workspace.(I can not use the location name in the exported workspace).
6. Renamed the project name, module name as i needed.
7. Double click the module name under Oracle and changed the meta data location and data locations.
8. Right click on soure and target module and click configure, change the the location and streams administrator.
9. Right click on mapping and go to configure, go to table operators and change the location as i need.
10.Right click on target module(under oracle), click generate. On this step, i get the below error
VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.
Java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExeception
11. Go to control center, register the source and targert and followed the step 10. I get the same error.
I am almost close to complete this task. But i got stuck in the last step.

Migration FR and WA from One Server to Another Server

Hello,
I have two servers (one development, one production). Now I have all the FRs and WA reports created and tested with user security and preferences setup property on the test server, I would like to migrate all the reports together with the user/group/preferences, etc , to the production server.
What is the best practice? I have also installed 9.3.1 migration utility. But it seems does not work for 9.3.1 (All 2 servers are running on 9.3.1, with separate instances of SQL servers, shared services, etc).
Thanks in advance

Steps in migrating Web and mailman from one server to another

I am minimally skilled so am taking this slowly
I currently have a server set to manage several websites all on the same IP forwarded from a DSL modem. Also Mailman provides list distribution for several of the websites. That box also serves as a primary DNS within my subnet behind the modem. My question is what services to I transfer first to make sure I have it right. Shooting from the hip, I would say I do it in this order:
~ Set up the multiple web sites on the new server.
~ Set up mail services on the new server
~ Set up the mailman services on the new server.
~ Change the port forwarding on the modem from the old box to the new one so the outside world now gets sent to the new server
~ Change DNS services for the intranet
Does this sequence make sense or am I missing something?

Actually, I migrated using a process in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6390958#6390958
and it worked very well. Had to do a lot of clean-up to get Apache to work correctly but now it does.

How to migrate a suspended domain from one server to another?

I am using oracle vm server 2.2.2 and i am trying to create the disaster recovery strategy for my environment
Initially i have successfully paused the vm VM1 using the "xm save VM1 suspended_file " command and save the memory to a file named suspended_file
then i backed up the directory under OVS/runnning_pool on the magnetic tape includind the suspended file
when i tried to restore the vm1 to a new server i was not able to restore the vm using the xm restore command.I have import the virtual machine from vm manager and therefore the paths in configuration file contains the correct paths pointing to the images in the new server pool.
however the following error appears when run the xm restore suspended_file
Error :disk image does not exit /old_path_to_the_image
For unknown reason the suspended file contains the old path to the disk image.Is there any way to alter the suspended file in order to point to the new directory
If i start the vm ignoring the suspend file could cause any problems ?
thanks in advance.
i am waiting for your responses

If all of the database files, including the binaries, are on a SAN you might be able to...
1. Cold backup of everything - database files and binaries.
2. Dismount the SAN volumes from the old server.
3. Mount the SAN volumes to the new server - using the same mount points.
4. Start up the database on the new server.
If the OS version/release are the same between new and old, that should be about all you need to do.
If the OS is same but upgraded to new version/release you will want to relink the Oracle executables before starting up.

Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

Moving SharePoint from One server to another

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our current sharepoint farm server to another server.
Our scenario
WFE Servers = SERVER01 AND SERVER02
APP Servers   = SERVER03 AND SERVER04
SQL Server   = SERVER05
New WFE Servers = SERVER06 AND SERVER07
New APP Servers = SERVER08 AND SERVER09
New SQL Server = SERVER10
Please does anyone know the best approach for migrating a sharepoint farm from one server to another.
My current approach will be to
FOR THE SQL SERVER
1.    stop all processes that might be using sharepoint such as search, sptimer using the net stop cmdlet on SERVER05
2.    back up all sharepoint content databases
3     Copy and restore the backed up databases on the sql server using the same name to ensure permissions are not      tampered with on SERVER10
4.    Ensure the firewall on the new sql server is open on port 1433
5.    Configure a new SQL Alias on the new server so that SharePoint can point to the new sql server
6.   Restart all the stopped processes in 1 above.
However, my questions are
Is the above the right approach?
How do i migrate the WFE and APP servers - do i need to reconfigure sharepoint on both wfe nd app server and then do a mount-spcontentdatabase cmdlet?
Please advise is urgently needed
Kind Regards
Louis
thanks

Moving users from one server to another using Shared Services

How do you migrate users and groups from one server to another from Hyperion Shared Services in version 9.3.1?
When users were provisioned from EAS on version 7.x we could use Migration Utility but now since users are provisioned using Shared Services, what is the approach to be followed?

Someone will probably give you a real-world example of how to do it, but to get you started you may want to review the Hyperion Security Administration guide, section "Migrating Native Directory" which discusses that you need to first install the Import/Export Utility on your Shared Services server, then create an export file, then go to your target Shared Services Server and long story short, import it.

Oracle db Migration from one server to another

Can any body guide me why companies migrate Oracle db from one server to another , & what is the process for doing that?

In that case, something has changed, right? The need to have a standby server has become important.
Next steps:
- define the real business requirements (why do we think we want to spend money on a spare server? why should the money go to a hardware company, instead of an increase in my salary? what benefit are they looking for?)
- see whether any known ideas or alternatives fit the requirements, see whether the backup should be a standby server, a hot failover server, or some other backup mode;
- go to the Oracle Technet site, look under the Product Centers: Database area to see whether there are any related topics (such as 'availability', as one of the logical reasons for a backup is to make the application more avaliable); check in that area for any white papers; read the white papers to formulate an idea, write down interesting keywords;
- look in the Oracle docuentation, list of books, to see whether there are any books specifically dealing with that topic (such as Oracle Data Guard);
- use Google to search for the combination of 'Oracle backup' and the interesting keyword and study several of the sites;
- form a basic plan;
- go to expert and trusted sources (these forums, OraFaq.com), post a plan and ask for feedback.
There are literally dozens of alternatives. Research and find the one(s) that are right for your situation. That includes the technical as well as the financial reasons.
More than anything, that means you need to learn to ask the right question. And that often means asking the same question several different ways, and attempting to answer each variation yourself to see how the answer solves your specific needs.

Migration databases from one server to another

Hi All
I want to migrate our 8 production databases from one server to another server. these are in RAC .Details are below
OLD SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 3
ORACLE: ORACLE 10gR1
FILE SYSTEM : OCFS
STORAGE: SAN
Its a RAC databases
NEW SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 5
ORACLE: ORACLE 11g R2
FILE SYSTEM:ASM
STORAGE:SAN ( fresh one)
Its also RAC DATABASES
So please tell me the best method to migrate 8 databases from old server to another server . all databases size are not more than 50 GB.
All servers details are above .please let me know if you require any other details
please reply soon we have to do it on urgent basis

Since all your databases are small (< 50G), I would recommend using expdp/impdp - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/expimp.htm - as this will provide several advantages as listed in the document.

Migrate tracks from one server to another

Hello, I've read a few guides how to migrate tracks from one server to another, but it doesn't help me.
What I've done:
1) I've exported my SC from SLD at my old server
2) Then imported it at my new server
3) Updated CMS from SLD
4) Created a track at my new server and added imported SC
Then I have to import my SC from old server with sources and there is some errors happens for me.
First option: I have exported my SC from CMS, but the SCA file is about 5kB. I unzipped it and there was ARCHIVESOURCE folder but it hasn't anything seems to be my sources. That file is checked-in successfully through the transport studio, but no sources imported into DTR.
Second option: I have exported the SCA file by using NWDS. It's exported OK, size ~1.3MB, ARCHIVESOURCE folder with mine sources. But when I try to check-in it, it fails with an error "import failed, because the sources are not contained in the archive
Could anybody helps me to achieve my task? I stuck with source import.

Hi Kirill,
important to know that assembly ALWAYS uses the CONS/ACTIVE workspace for SCA generation.
If you for instance create a change (an activity), and you activate and release it but you don't import this activity into CONS, then it won't be part of the CONS/active and then due to obvious reasons assembly won't produce the sources either (no possibility to do an explicit activation on cons level as here a force activation takes place at import, but of course the import into cons is a necessary step, because as mentioned assembly uses the cons/active).
Can you please confirm/deny how this scenario looks like on your end?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Ervin
