Migrate P6 Pro Rel7 DB from Oracle 10g Express to SQL server 2008

Please advise the steps needed to migrate my P6 Professional Rel7 (laptop) Oracle 10g Express to P6 Enterprise Rel7 (server) migrating over to SQL server 2008.
I don't want to lose any of my activity codes during the migration.
Thanks in advance for any comments or guidance.
CH

You can use migrate.bat (Media folder/database/installation). Enter the details of the source (oracle db) to destiny (SQL) . The app will migrate everything, the projects, activities, uds, users, filters, layouts, etc.. .

  • Oracle DB 10g r2 & Microsoft SQL Server 2008

    Hello,
    I have a need to load data from Oracle 10g r2 to SQL Server 2008 and vice versa. I am new to heterogeneous connectivity. How do I connect to SQL Server from Oracle and vice versa(connect Oracle from SQL Server).
    The Oracle version : Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0
    The SQL Server Version :  Microsoft SQL Server 2008Both databases are located on different machines. Oracle is hosted on Solaris UX and SQL Server 2008 is on Windows Server 2008.
    Any documentation in this regard will help.
    Please advise.
    Thank you much for your time in reading this post.

    When you want to connect from Oracle to a SQL server you need to use a gateway. Oracle offers 2 different kind of gateways. The gateway which is for free is based on a 3rd party ODBC. It is called Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and allows you to connect to any foreign database as long as the ODBC driver is compliant with the gateway requirements documented in the manual.
    As it allows you to connect to any foreign database it only supports a few Oracle functions which is able to map to foreign database equivalents. All other functions are post processed.
    The more powerful product is Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) which is designed for MS SQL Server connections. Thus it supports many more functions which it is directly mapping to SQL Server equivalents and it is also able to participate in distributed transactions and to call SQL Server stored procedures. This DG4MSQL gateway is not for free and requires a license.
    I would suggest to check out My Oracle Support and look for this note:Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products          [Document 1083703.1]     
    It contains a reference to many other notes describing the differences between DG4ODBC and DG4MSQL and it also contains links to common set up notes.
    After looking at this note you'll notice that on Unix most 3rd party ODBC drivers are commercial drivers and you might need to purchase them as well. Sometimes the license costs for these drivers are more expensive then purchasing the DG4MSQL. Another option would be to install DG4ODBC on a Windows platform, for example on the SQL Server machine and you could then use the MS SQl Server ODBC driver which is for free and you then have a complete solution for free.

  • Send encrypted data from oracle 11g to Ms SQL Server 12

    Hi every body,
    we want to send encrypted data from oracle 11g to Ms SQL Server 12:
    - data are encrypted to oracle
    - data should be sent encrypted to Ms SQL server
    - data will be decrypted in Ms SQL server by sensitive users.
    How can we do this senario, any one has contact simlare senario?
    can we use asymetric encription to do this senario?
    Please Help!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
      What you want to do about copying data from Oracle to SQL*Server using insert will work with the 12c gateway.  There was a problem trying to do this using the 11.2 gateway but it should be fixed with the 12c gateway.
    If 'insert' doesn't work then you can use the SQLPLUS 'copy' command, for example -
    SQL> COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@ORACLEDB -
    INSERT SCOTT.EMP@MSQL -
    USING SELECT * FROM EMP
    There is further information in this note available on My Oracle Support -
    Copying Data Between an Oracle Database and Non-Oracle Foreign Data Stores or Databases Using Gateways (Doc ID 171790.1)
    However, if the data is encrypted already in the Oracle database then it will be sent in the encrypted format. The gateway cannot decrypt the data before it is sent to SQL*Server.
    There is no specific documentation about the gateways and TDE.  TDE encrypts the data as it is in the Oracle database but I doubt that SQL*Server will be able to de-encrypt the Oracle data if it is passed in encrypted format and as far as I know it is not designed to be used for non-Oracle databases.
    The Gateway encrypts data as it is sent across the network for security but doesn't encrypt the data at source in the same way as TDE does.

  • When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

    Hi all
    I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
    I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
    Thanks!

    Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
    does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.

  • Oracle 10g/11g to Sql Server 2005 Migration

    Dear All,
    I am a beginner to this migration Activities..
    We have designed one Application which is havin Database as Oracle 10g.
    and We had another small Application which is having Sql Server 2005 has Database.
    Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..
    Pls help me how to convert Database in Oracle 10g/11g to Database in sqlserver 2005..

    Hello,
    this is an Oracle forum and we are handling here migrations from foreign databases to an Oracle database.
    For migrations in the other direction, in your case from Oracle to MS SQL Server, you need to read the Microsoft pages, e.g.:
    http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration.aspx
    Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..Normally a migration is not a daily process, so I guess that you just want to transfer data from Oracle to SQL Server on a daily basis. If that is the case, you should consider to use our Gateways. Please start reading here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index-100140.html
    Using the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) or the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) you can copy your data from your Oracle database to your SQL Server database, using a database link in the Oracle database.
    Please let me know whether this answer helped you.

  • Import into SQL Server db from Sybase 7 data source - SQL Server 2008 R2/2012

    Hi,
    I need to import Sybase 7 data into a SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 database.
    Has anyone any experiences about this import?
    Thanks

    The nuance is in basically setting your connection manager right.
    If I remember correctly, I did that using the ODBC/ADO, but I do not remember the Sybase version.
    I suggest you visit a post dedicated to this operation (the author chose to use the ADO.NET type of a provider):

  • Oracle 10g install on Windows server 2008 R2 ( 6.1 )

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g over windows server 2008 R2 (6.1) but it gives error that OS is not supported. I tried to install below version.
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0)
    Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista x64, Windows Server 2008 x64,
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, Windows 7 x64
    But it fails with error that OS version 6.1 is not supported. On download page it is written to get 10.2.0.5 patch from My Oracle support for windows server 2008 R2, I got patch p8202632_10205_MSWIN-x86-64 but it requires a pre-installed oracle home.
    So how should I install Oracle 10g as 10.2.0.4 does not get installed and the patch asks for a previous install?
    The reason I am installing Oracle 10g is that our Java application is running in production over JDK 1.4 and Oracle 11g does not provide JDBC driver for JDK 1.4, is there any JDBC driver for Oracle 11g that can work with JDK 1.4?
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Best Regards!

    Hi,
    You have the wrong values in the tnsnames.ora entry.
    You have -
    HUAWEI_DCDB =
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=hsagent))
    (HS=OK)
    but the CONNECT_DATA information is incorrect. it should be -
    HUAWEI_DCDB =
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=HUAWEI_DCDB))
    (HS=OK)
    The sid needs to match the sid defined in the listener.ora for the gateway.
    The actual tnsnames.ora entry should have spaces at the beginning of each line except the first, as they are lost in the forum entries.
    Once this is fixed you may also have a problem unless you put a user and password in the create database link statement -
    create public database link HUAWEI_DCDB connect to "userid" identified by "password" using 'HUAWEI_DCDB';
    One other point is that 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC). You should plan to install and use that instead of HSODBC to be on a fully supported product.

  • How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

    Hi,
    Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
    Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
    The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
    Heterogeneous Connectivity
    If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
    How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB     (Doc ID 191368.1)
    As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
    SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
    Hope it helps,

  • Read Oracle 10g Tables to SQL Server 2012

    Hi all,
    I have Oracle 10g on an XP machine, and use the 'Oracle in OraDB10g_home1' driver to read the data. I have another Windows Server 2008 R2 machine on the same network, with SQL Server 2012 on it. What is the best way to read Oracle Tables in SQL Server? Can I setup an ODBC link from my Windows Server machine to the Oracle Database (which would require me to download an Oracle ODBC driver)? Or is the best way to export the required tables from Oracle (e.g. into csv format) and import them into SQL?
    Thanking you in advance,

  • Oracle 10g connectivity with sql server 2000 through oracle transpa gateway

    dear gurus.
    i am to connecto oracle 10g with sql server 2000 through oracle transparent gateway.
    i have installed transparent gateway and proper configured. also link is created.
    but when i execute query "select * from city@inventory" , so an error displayed.
    ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
    kindly suggest me what could be the cause.
    regards,

    if the listener fails to spawn a dedicated server process it is commonly indicating an issue with the listener. So posting the listener and also a listener trace including a description of the env where you installed the gateway into which directory would be helpfull. Please keep also in mind if you have for example a 10.2.0.3 database and you install into this directoty a 10.2.0.1 gateway you have to reapply the patchset again do get consistent file version.
    So please describe more detailed your env.

  • Extract data from Flat file CSV to SQL Server 2008 using SSIS 2008 (Data gets corrupted when extraction)

    Hi,
    I am trying to extract data from multiple CSV files to SQL into a single table. The data type of all the columns in SQL table is nvarchar(MAX).  I am able to extract the data from the flat files but some of the data(on extraction) is
    corrupt including question marks(?) and other invalid special characters. Also I tried selecting the UTF-8, 65001(Unicode) format but the problem still persists. Also I tried using data converter but no use.
    I checked with the data in the flat file but there is no data with question mark(?) or any other special characters.
    The separator in the flat file is Comma(,)
    Please help.
    Thanks in advace.

    The source system and application determines the code page and encoding. Is it Windows, Unix, Mainframe or some other type? 
    Unicode files sometimes begin with a byte order mark (2 bytes) to indicate little or big endian.  If you open the file in notepad and then select save as, the encoding in the dialog will show the encoding notepad detected based on the BOM.  If
    that is ANSI instead of Unicode or UTF-8, you will need to know the code page the source system used when the file was created.

    TIPS
    when you install the database to make sure the account that has administrator privileges install.
    Why
    Sometimes the installer glitches. Sometimes its because the user running the install isn't a local admin.
    If there are no data files under the XE folder, that is a symptom of an installer glitch.
    See the Local Users and Groups applet, Start/Run lusrmgr.msc open the Groups folder, right click/Properties on Administrators. If you're logged into the host with a domain account, be sure your <domain>\loginname is in that local admins group.
