Migrate whole APEX to new database

Hello,
I have APEX 4.0.2 in database 10.2.0.4. I will migrate database to new server with database 11.2.0.3.
My APEX installation has 4 workspaces and 42 Applications. What should be the easiest and fastest way to migrate whole database (I preffered export/import) and to ensure that whole APEX will work as on old database (with the same IDs).
Regards.

Here's one way...
* Install APEX 4.0.2 in the new environment, check it's in working order.
* Export APEX_040000 from the old environment
* Drop APEX_040000 in the new environment
* Import the APEX_040000 dump into the new environment, check it's in working order (should be able to access the INTERNAL workspace at least)
* Export/Import the 4 workspace schemas
I can't think what could possibly go wrong. Maybe you'll loose some critical grants along the way, in which case panic and find a DBA to fix your mess. That always works for me.

Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
1. EUL schema
2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
Issues: After migration
Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
Exporting the accounts will work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ARS,
Please check the following item in your new database.
1. log_archive_max_processes Most properbly value set for this parameter is low ( may be it's set to 1.) Please increase up ( 4)I am curious to know what makes you think 4 is the right magic number for log_archive_max_processes - after all, he's only got one archive destination.

Copy whole schema to new database

Hi...what is ther best way to copy whole schema (25GB) to new database.
Thanks

Hello,
Best way is to use either conventional export/import or datapump.
exp system/password owner=userA file=userA.dmp log=userA.log
Note: Make sure tablespace, any special roles or db-link exists before importing or cloning schema
imp system/password fromUser=userA toUser=userA file=userA.dmp log=userAimport.logSee following link for more infomation and examples to use datapump

Content migration from old to new database server

There is thread upon thread upon question (as well as answer upon answer) of this already. I have 3 farms running concurrently. 1 production, 1 development and a new production (farm A, B and C respectively). Farm A's databases are on SQLa\SP while Farm
B is on SQLb\Beta and Farm C on SQLb\SP. I've successfully copied the content database over from Farm A to Farm B & C without an issue. Farm A and C are identical except for server names (service accounts etc).
What I'm trying to do now though is just a simple content refresh from FarmA to FarmC. Aside from shutting down FarmA and C, backing up & restoring the database again, is there another way to do this?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is you want to find another way to change farm A production environment to farm C production environment aside from shutting down FarmA and C, backing up & restoring the database .
It involves moving a farm.
Moving a farm typically involves the following steps:
Set up the new server farm
Move the databases to the new server farm
Shut down the old server farm
So how to move the databases to the new server farm is the point. For moving all the databases, you can backup and restore. Another way is detaching and attaching as the thread states:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/25215/the-best-practice-for-moving-content-database-between-two-farms
But copying the files is also a dangerous option due to file locks etc, and you don't want to take down the farm just to copy the data.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

Migrate APex workspace to new database

Hi
Can someone please help me out with the steps to migrate the Workspace from 1 database to another ? The app server remains the same, we are migrating the db to a different platform.
I have Dashboard , Apex_data and flows_03100 schema created by Apex.
Thanks
Edited by: user622632 on Mar 16, 2009 4:46 PM

I tend to migrate workspaces from my office to my home by using SQL*Developer-export it has the ability to create the DDL with the data option.
Then export my applications and images.
At New station with APEX installed:
1. Create the workspace using the apex_admin login.
2. Create a connection in SQL*Developer to the new workspace.
3. Run the DDL in SQL*Developer (make sure you run it as the right user).
4. Import my applications and images.
That should give you a general idea.
Try using SQL*Developer to export Dashboard and Apex_data for the DDL, then follow the steps above to migrate them to the other database.
Good luck,
Mike

How to create a New database application in APEX

Hi everyone..
Greetings!!!
I am a beginner to Oracle APEX, i want to develop a new database application(upload my own data) and wants to perform validations, LOV's, Regions etc..
Can you guide me to handle this....
Thanks,
suresh

Suresh,
The forum can help ... but maybe "guide" is asking a lot. There are tons of suggestions here (in the forum).
Have you read? https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1324 It's a good place to start.
There are a wealth of APEX books if you have access to Safari, Books 24 or something like those.
There are on-line courses: See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/tutorials/index.html
Specifically: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:24:87555121473::NO::P24_CONTENT_ID,P24_PREV_PAGE:6268,1 is "Building an Application using Oracle Application Express: Part 1"
I'm certain you can find many more by Google'ing.
If you're like me, you need to see (and do) many examples before you launch off into something non-trivial.

Migrating HP SIM related databases to a new database server

Greetings,
I'm working on a migration task for our HP SIM to a new database server (the application and services will reside on the original server).
Migrating the Insight_v50_0_xxx database and redirecting the server to point the the new database was no problem and HP SIM runs along just fine.
There are still some related databases that I haven't moved yet, and I've searched all over the web to get some documentation on the matter, but found none.
The databases and related services are the following.
PMP_V5_0 - PMP Services
hpvmmsqldb - Virtual Machine Management
I guess I could do like I did with the Insight_v50_0_xxx , take a backup and restore it on the new server and then change the configuration files to point to the new one. The big issue is that I can't seem to find any configuration files for these services.
Also I've run into something called mx services, and the same here. I have no idea where these points.
Any HP SIM savvy technician out there that think they can help me out?
1. Product: HP SIM and related services
2. Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2
Best regards,
Karl

Old topic but in case someone is searching...
PMP database uses an ODBC connection. Easy to reconfigure.
HPVMMDB uses a JDBC configuration file in the \Program Files\HP\Insight Control Virtual Machine Management\Bin folder called hpvmmdb.conf.

Migrating reports to new database schema

Hi,
My company has numerous Crystal Reports .RPT files that work against the existing database schema, but we are moving to a new database with a significantly different schema.
Rather than have to manually recreate new RPT files for all the reports, it would be nice if it would be possible to automate the process.
I have looked through the documentation for the various Java APIs and am completely confused as to whether this is possible and, if so, the best way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carl

Can apex manage two database?

hi
I have create a new database, but my exsist apex can't connect to it, how can I get in?
best regards!

Hi troy,
You can use some functionality with APEX via database links, this is the usual way if you add an extra database. But keep in mind that a lot of APEX functionality that you are used to is not working via database links.
Just google "apex database link" to get an idea of the work arounds and limited support you run into if you use an extra database.
I think it also depends on your database version, if it's Oracle XE ( express edition ) the support for database links is also more limited than if your using Enterprise edition ( not 100% sure about that last remark but I recall running into some license limitations for XE when using links ).
I think if you want to migrate step by step to the UTF8 database, database links is probably not the way to go or will take a lot of extra work.
Data migration from the old database to the new database, if done properly and tested well, will save you a lot of coding.
regards
b.t.w. if you use a link from your source environment to the UTF8 database there will also be some kind of character conversion during this since APEX will set a NLS environment set for your session which you use for 2 database character sets..... There probably will be ways to solve this but again a lot of coding

Creation of new database

Hi
If you are using Windows and want to use a GUI then select e.g
Start -> Oracle10g_Home1 -> Configuration and migration tools -> Database Configuration Assistant
and follow instructions given to you...
There is a similar tool for linux/unix , I do not remember it's name and do not have a current connection to a linux / oracle installation.

Create new database in XE via GUI console

I would liek to know if it possible to create a new database in Oracle 10g Express Edition via the GUI Web console other than the existing XE database? If not, is there another way via SQL?

XE is limited to a single instance, and an instance can only open one database at a time.
You should be able to close the 'current database' (shutdown and startup nomount) and create a new database 'create database' through SQL, but I wouldn't see a lot of point to the exercise (except as a learning exercise, where you'd be better off using a Standard/Enterprise Edition).
There'd be no way to do the creation through an Apex application, as Apex itself has to run in a database so wouldn't survive the closure of the current database.

Improving performance on migrating data from one Oracle database to another

We are using hibernate to migrate complete tables from one database to the other. This takes hours to days to transfer a couple of tables, all having relationships between each other. The only difference is that the new tables have an extra column which stores the primary key of the source table as an alias key in the destination table and the destination table has only one extra column which is its own primary key. Another small difference is that the name of the columns is a little different.
Isn't there a simple way to use Oracle database's in built tools to migrate data if provided the source and destination tables and column names for mapping purposes? Please provide some suggestions for this Oracle newbie. Any other suggestions on improving the migration performance will be greatly appreciated.
Suggestions please!!!

Hello Justin,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Ours is a small company so we take up all kinda roles. In this particular scenario, I was asked to migrate all the tables from one database to another. Both of the databases are present on two different machines but on the same network. There are about 100,000 records in some of the tables and there are about 50 tables to migrate. As I said, both the tables have different columns to be mapped and then transferred and the new table has only one extra column which is a primary key in the new table. Under these constraints, Hibernate is taking way too much time.
I always felt that there must be a simpler and efficient way to do this. I would appreciate if you could you explain me the procedures in detail please.
Thanks in advance.
