Migratiing from 8.1.7.4 to 10G release 2

Was wondering if any has directly migrated from 8.1.7.4 to 10g r2. I plan to perform a manual upgrade using the directions in Metalink Note:316889.1, a manual upgrade. Is it possible to use any of Oracle's migration utilities in 10G to perform these steps for me or make the process go any faster?

From the Upgrade Path section, you have need 8.1.7.4 to go directly to 10.2.
Then, check the choice you have to upgrade : manually, DBUA or exp/imp.

You need to upgrade to enterprise edition for replication support. You can refer Note:117048.1 (How to Convert Database from Standard to Enterprise Edition ?).

OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

Hi guys,
I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
My question is,
Will the following work?
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
5. Configure the project with the new server
OR
Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
Thanks in advance....

Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

Upgrading from Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2)

Hello everyone;
We are in the process of looking into upgrading from our current Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2): Windows
We would like to download and install the 10.2.0.1 base release (Oracle Software). When I go on SAP Marketplace
https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/oracle-download and goto the (Software Download) section and click on
Oracle 10.2 Software (32-bit versions) to download I receive a error NO DATA AVAILABLE.
Is there another area to download the Oracle Software? or do I need to purchase a CD from SAP or can I download this base release straight from Oracle?
Thanks for your time and have a great day.

Hello Pellegrino,
just download it from the SAP container for each product .. for example
-> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 -> Windows Server -> ORACLE

Large_pool value changed from 0 to 8388608 after Oracle Patch 10g Release 2

10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) Patch Set 3 for HP-UX Itanium
Recently we upgrade Oracle software with patch set 6810189.
and upgraded database using dbua.
earlier we set large_pool to 0 and after database upgrade, this large_pool changed to 8388608 bytes. Is this normal with DBUA?
also dbua keeps backup of spfile in same location

This is a way I used to do it too. I am not sure whether it is the official way, but it works nevertheless.
Do make sure you run autoconfig afterwards, which will create a new environment file for you. Then stop listener and database, source the new environment file and restart listener and database.
I found some other procedure in order for you to recreate the environment file:
1. On the application tier, Execute $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl to generate appsutil.zip for the database tier.
2. Copy this appsutil.zip to the database tier and unzip it into the ORACLE_HOME
3. Set the following environment variables:
ORACLE_HOME =<10g ORACLE_HOME>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <10g ORACLE_HOME/lib, 10g ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib>
ORACLE_SID = instance name running on this database node.
PATH= $PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin;
TNS_ADMIN = $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<context_name> 4. Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file. Change the aliases for SID=<new RAC instance name>
5. Modify the listener.ora. Change the instance name and Oracle Home to match environment
6. Start the listener.
7. From the 10g ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, create an instance-specific XML context file by executing the command:
adbldxml.pl tier=db appsuser=<APPSuser> appspasswd=<APPSpwd>8. De-register the current configuration using the command:
perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE -removeserver9. Rename $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<rac instance>.ora , to a new name (i.e. init<rac instance>.ora.old in order to allow AutoConfig to regenerate the file using the RAC specific parameters.
10. From the 10g ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, execute AutoConfig on the database tier by running the adconfig.pl script.
Now you should have the officially created environment file.
HTH.

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..

Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
Please guide me.
Nith

Nith,
I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
-Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
-Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
-You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
good luck!

Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
First, I was following a tutorial
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
What do I do in this case ?
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply.
After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

Migration from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 10g

We have to perform a migration from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 10g. Many tables, many data and many stored procs.
We use the Online mode and the imports finish with any errors, but it has not recovered any stored procedures or we can't view the Informix Stored Procedures in the Source Model in the workbench.
In the importation log appears as no found procedures, but under owner informix are all procedures.
What we can do?

In the 10.1.0.4 version of the workbench we create an informix user who will have all the stored procedures.
If you want these migrated as another user you can right click on the user in the oracle model and rename it for a start.
If this is a large migration, I would recommend the following.
1. generate the ddl for the oracle database.
2. for the users, that will be created, move the objects to the users that you want these in.
3. Make sure that the privileges that a particular user has is appropriate to use the data and execute the stored procedures if necessary.
This tool is not just a one shot deal.. It will bring the informix db over to Oracle, but you need to verify the structure and the logic of the stored procedures as being correct.

Converting SQL statements from MS server 2000 to Oracle 10g

We are moving over from MS server 2000 to Oracle 10g as our database for Peoplesoft system.
There are several embedded SQL statements that I need to investigate to see what needs converting.
So far I can see a need to convert the following:
Dates. GetDate() to ?
Outer joins. *= to LEFT OUTER JOIN
Has anyone else done a similar exercise and what other functions do I need to convert?
Thanks.

Migration from MS SQL Server to Oracle 10g

Hi,
In our application, we are planning to refresh data every one hour from MS SQL Server to Oracle 10g. Can anyone tell me what approach can be followed?

Hello,
migrations can be done with the Migration Workbench that is included in the SQL Developer: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
But your question sounds more like a replication of data than a migration. Please read as a starter the following note in My Oracle Support (former Metalink):
Note 283700.1: How to replicate Data between Oracle and a Foreign Datasource
That note describes ways for the replication in both directions. Please let me know whether this is helpful for you.

Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to 10g

Hi,
We have a test database (Oracle 9.2.0.7.0) running on Windows XP Ver:2002, and we want this database to be migrated to Oracle 10g.
Please let me know, from where I can download the patch, and installation guide for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sabdar Syed.

To upgrade from 9.2.x.x to 10g, this is definitively not a patch that you need, but a new version. And you can download it from the download page which you can accessed by a click on the big red button on the top-right of this page. 
And for the documentation, please find : 
Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) 
Upgrade Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2)

Pb for rerouting mail in a migration from Exchange 5.5 to OCS 10g R2

Hi,
I try to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to OCS 10g R2.
I meet a pb when I want to migrate an account, rerouting is active.
The routing alias is created in Exchange (user_es902migration@ocshostname) as well the delegation rule.
BUT no rewriting rule is created is the OCS server, so the mail I send to this user on Exchange are well received on Exchange but are rejected on OCS.
Any help is welcome .

Try to use the "project from WAR file" or "project from existing source" option in JDeveloper and point to either a WAR file produced from Netbeans or the actual source code.
You then might need to set up libraries and project content as well as web content under the project properties in JDeveloper.
This how-to shows how we did it with another tool but the general directions should be similar:

Your Database has started. It only disconnected the session that started the database. For instance, if you are using a startuo script or dbstart.
Why do you think it is not started?

Upgrading from 9.2.0.1 to 10g R2

today, I was using Oracle DBUA to upgrade my database from 9i R2 to 10g R2. DBUA complained as follows.
ORA-20000: Version 9.2.0.1.0 not supported for upgrade to release 10.2.0
ORA-06512: at line 1523
Could any one help me to address this issue ?

Have you read the documentation? According to the Upgrade:
"Direct upgrade from 8.1.7.4, 9.0.1.4 or higher, 9.2.0.4 or higher, and 10.1.0.2 or higher to the newest Oracle Database 10g release is supported."
So, that suggests you have to upgrade to 9.2.0.4 first (it is available from OTN). Alternatively you can ditch the DBUA and go for a manual approach.
Cheers, APC
