Migrating ASP's from sybase and sqlserver to ORACLE

Hi!
i need information about what do i need or what it takes to
migrate ASP's that are connected to sybase and sqlserver by
ODBC, to Oracle? , if you have any document, information or
contact, it'll be helpfull for me.
thank you!

This can't be answered globally as it depends on too many settings.
For a generic overview you might check out the migration Web Site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/index-084442.html

Migrating SYSTEM tablespace from DMTS to LMTS in Oracle 9.2.0.7

Migrating SYSTEM tablespace from DMTS to LMTS in Oracle 9.2.0.7 using
brspace -f dbcreate
SAP version: 4.6C
Oracle: 9.2.0.7
OS: AIX 5.3
BRTools: 6.40(42)    /** 6.40(10) or (12) will be sufficient according to SAP ***/
IMPORTANT ***************************************
MUST DO:
1. Create a Full Backup of your system
2. Test your Restore and recovery of your backup.
3. Have a copy of all your tablespaces names on hand
4. Know your SYS and SYSTEM passwords
5. Run CheckDB in DB13 to ensure it is completed successfully with no warnings. This reduce the chance of hitting errors in the process
6. Ensure your UNDO tablespace is big enough
7. OSS 400241 Problems with ops$ or sapr3 connect to Oracle
NOTE: OSS 706625(Read this note)
The migration from a dictionary-managed SYSTEM tablespace to a locally-managed tablespace using the PL/SQL procedure DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN.TABLESPACE_MIGRATE_TO_LOCAL is not supported in the SAP environment.
In UNIX, logon as ora<sid>
run command: brspace -f dbcreate
This command will triggers a Menu. The are seven(7) steps to complete the whole process. Do them in sequence, from step 1 to step 7 faithfully. In Step 1, ensure that your settings of PSAPTEMP, PSAPUNDO etc details such as filenames are correct. The rest I leave it as default and they are fine. Do not change redo log group from 8 to 4 even if you only have 4 redo groups. If not, you might need to restore the system! If the seven steps are complete without errors(warnings is acceptable), congrats. Perform a backup again.
Problems I encountered that caused me to restore system:
1./ Problem: I changed the redo group from 8 to 4 and in the later stage after the tablespaces and files are dropped, the system prompted me that 4 is not acceptable! I can't go back then so a restore is performed.
Solution: Leave the default value 8 as it is
2./ I was using wireless network and the network breaks thus process breaks.
Solution: This process in user-interactive and requires you to input confirmation along the way so do it using LAN.
3./ In the process of dropping tablespace PSAP<SID>, I encountered:
BR0301E SQL error -604 at location BrTspDrop-2
ORA-00601: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 22 with name '_SYSSMU22$" too small
Solution: I have not fixed this yet but I think it is because my PSAPUNDO is too small(800M) so I will increase it to a bigger value e.g. 5GB
4. Problem: Unable to start sap after successfully migrated. OPS$user problem
Solution: logon as <sid>adm, run R3trans -x in a directory that <sid>adm has read/write permission. R3trans -x will creates a file call trans.log. Read the details and refer to OSS 400241
Result: I have successfully performed this on one(1) system and doing this on the another one currently but encounter Problem 3. Will update this further if there are more findings.

The current one I am implementing is a development system. The database is less than 100GB. 800MB of PSAPUNDO is sufficient for our development usage.
Follow up on Problem 3:
I created another undo tablespace PSAPUNDO2(undodata.dbf) with size of 5GB. I switched undo tablespace to PSAPUNDO2 and placed PSAPUNDO(undo.data1) offline. With PSAPUNDO2 online and PSAPUNDO offline, I started brspace -f dbcreate and encountered the error below at Step 2 Export User tablespace:
BR0301E SQL error -376 at location BrStattabCreate-3
ORA-00376: file 17 cannot be read at this time
ORA-01110: data file 17: '/oracle/DVT/sapdata1/undo_1/undo.data1'
ORA-06512: at 'SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 5317
ORA-06512: at line 1
I aborted the process and verified that SAP is able to run with this settings. I started CheckDB in DB13 and it shows me these messages:
BR0301W SQL error -376 at location brc_dblog_open-5
ORA-00376: file 17 cannot be read at this time
ORA-01110: data file 17: '/oracle/DEV/sapdata1/undo_1/undo.data1'
BR0324W Insertion of database log header failed
I don't understand then. I have already switched the undo tablespace from PSAPUNDO to PSAPUNDO2. Why the message above still appears? Once I put PSAPUNDO online, CheckDB completes successfully without warning.
I did show parameter undo_tablespace and the result is PSAPUNDO2(5GB).
So exactly, what's going on? Can anyone advise?
===============================================
I have managed to clear the message in DB13 after dropping PSAPUNDO tablespace including contents and datafiles. This is mentioned is OSS note 600141 pg 8 as below:
Note: You cannot just set the old rollback-tablespace PSAPROLL to offline instead of deleting it properly. This results in ORA-00376 in connection with ORA-01110 error messages. PSAPROLL must remain ONLINE until it is deleted. (Oracle bug 3635653)

Read data from Excel and write into oracle database

Hi
I want to know how can i read data from excel and write into oracle database using java.Kindly help me out to find a solution.
Thanks and Regards
Neeta

Hai,
I am suggesting the solution.
I will try out and let u know soon.
Make a coma separated file from your excel file.
Assuming that your requirement allows to make a csv file.
This file may be passed as an file object to be read by java.Using JDBC you must be able to populate the data base.You can also use String Tokenizer if needed.
You do not want to go via sql Loader?
For reading the excel file itself do you want java?

Migrating selected data from Sybase 11 to Oracle 8i

We have an application re-written using an Oracle 8i backend and we need to migrate data from Sybase 11.9.2 to Oracle 8i. No triggers or procedures to migrate, and not all the tables or even all the rows in the tables. I have read a lot of posts on this and am not sure if the Workbench or Heterogenous services is the best tool/method. For bulk migration it seems the Workbench might work if we create a view and bcp just the view data in comma delimited then use the SQL Loader to move it to Oracle. As a side question when bcping the view do we want to terminate each line with cr/lf or no line termination. Alternatively, could we use the hetergenous services and some perl scripts to accomplish the same thing using copy and select and throttle it some running in batches?
Lastly, if we'd also like to possibly access the old Sybase data does the new client app need specific coding to utilize this service? Do the two db's need to be the same schema or identical to utilize this product?
Thnks - bc

Sandeep,
Have you used this user which holds the omwb repository before for a migration? When you connected the first itme, did you get a message, that the repository tables did not exist and would you like to create them?
Are you using the connected or disconnected source model load?

New to PL\SQL from Sybase and need an answer to a question please

Hi,
I want to read a row on table 'One' and caputure the values of 6 columns. So I will have values "A", "B","C", "D", "E" & "F". Then I want to use these 6 key values in a sub query to select rows from Table 'Two'. From table 'Two' I want want to splilt a varchar column that has multiple values that are delimited by '|'.
In Sybase I would of stuck the 6 values into variables from Table 'One'. Then inserted them into a temp table and used that temp table in the join to get the rows from table 'Two' that I wanted. Then stuck those results in a temp table and lopped around the rows and split the data out into another temp table. Then just selected the temp table to uotput the results. Now that may seem long winded but very simple to build.
So can someone give me some help in how to structure this in Oracle. Also I cannot created global temp tables in my session.
Thanks in Advance

Now that may seem long winded but very simple to build.The reason for that in Sybase/SQL-Server is to minimise locking. So grab data as quickly as possible (minimise the time needed for the read or write lock) and stuff it into a temp table that is session local and cannot cause lock contention with other sessions.
A monolithic lock manager is used. This means means that every single lock requires memory to manager. That is why lock escalation exists. Memory starts getting low and a bunch of row locks are changed into fewer page locks, thus freeing memory. Or a bunch of page locks are changed into a table lock, thus freeing memory.
Locks are expensive.
In Oracle that is not the case. A single lock cost as much as a billion locks. Nothing. Not a single byte of memory is required as there is no monolithic lock manager in memory (Oracle has transaction slots in data blocks). In Oracle, a reader (with read locks) does not block another reader or another writer. Even to the same rows. A writer does not block a reader - even to the same rows (and the reader does a consistent and not dirty read). The only times there is a block is when writers attempt to lock the same rows.
Thus in Oracle, there is no need for the long winded temp table work-around of Sybase. It is not only unnecessary, but you will seriously impact Oracle performance and scalability by doing that.
Oracle is not Sybase. So be careful of using your Sybase technical expertise and approaches to Oracle. It will be wrong most of the time.

Migrate to 10g from Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 8

Hi,
My company is planning to migrate from Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 8 to Oracle10g.
Does anyone have any experience with this particular case?
I need some advice on how to make the migration 'smooth'.
Thanks a lot,

No we don't support that Sybase database type currently. Have you looked at the migration tools from Ispirer?

How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...
cheers,

Migrating a table from SQL server 2005 to oracle 9i

Hi
I need to migrate a table from SQL server to oracle, both of which are on different machines, I tried using SQL server DTS export functionality selected the Oracle driver, created a DSN, but it gave error message box as shown below
Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
"ORA 12560 :TNS protocol adapter error"
Context:Error During initialization of the provider
While i was successfully able to migrate the table from SQL SERVER to MS-ACCESS and from MS ACCESS to Oracle
thanks
abhishek

Hi
thanks warren, i just figured out that the DSN i had created while migrating data from Access to oracle was User DSN, i just created a system DSN of the similar kind and was successfully able to export the data from SQL server to oracle, the only problem being the column names in SQL server are longer than the limit of 30 characters we have in ORACLE..

My mistake - thought you're looking for a general idea. Here's the working example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE import_test (i_result_file IN XMLTYPE DEFAULT XMLTYPE(bfilename('XMLDIR','my_test.xml'),nls_charset_id('ALT32UTF8')))
IS
xml_rec XMLTYPE;
v_index PLS_INTEGER;
v_rec_ref VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
v_index := 1;
WHILE i_result_file.Existsnode('/rec/HoldingsRecord['||To_Char(v_index)||']') > 0
LOOP
BEGIN
--- Get the line
xml_rec := i_result_file.Extract('/rec/HoldingsRecord['||To_Char(v_index)||']');
CASE WHEN i_result_file.Existsnode('rec/HoldingsRecord['||To_Char(v_index)||']/RecordReference') > 0
THEN v_rec_ref := xml_rec.extract('HoldingsRecord/RecordReference/text()').getStringVal();
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('v_rec_ref: '||v_rec_ref);
END CASE;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('My Message: '||v_index||' '||SQLERRM);
END;
v_index := v_index + 1;
END LOOP;

Migration of next_identity() from sybase 12 to oracle 10G

Hi,
What is the oracle equivalent for next_identity() in sybase.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinoth Kannan

Hi Vinoth,
The OMWB does not migrate this function automatically.
next_identity() returns the next value to be used in an indentity column. You pass it the name of the table as a parameter. Example
T-SQL
SELECT next_identity(table1)
if table1 does not have an identity column then null is returned, otherwise the next identity value for that table is returned.
Oracle does not have identity columns, so the OMWB will migrate identity columns to a sequence and a trigger. This sequence will named SQ_<IdentityColumnName>.
So to emulate
next_indentity(<table_name>)
you may have to go
SQ_<IdentityColumnName>.CURRVAL + 1

Parse errors on 'white space' when migrating procs/triggers from Sybase

getting:
Error occurred on line nn:
oracle.mtg.sybase12.parser.ParseException:
Parse error at line nn, column 1.
Encountered:
looks like this happens for every proc/trigger that has a blank line at the end of its text.
anyone know of any fix/workaround for this?
thx

Hi Collierville,
The 'Repository' term referes to the Oracle schema/user where you told the OMWB to create its repository. You reference this schema when you log into the OMWB.
The OMWB created lots of tables to hold the captured and converted details of your database. Its this Oracle schema that you should run the script on using SQL Developer or SQL*Plus.
I tried your testcase with 10.1.0.4 and still cant produce an issue. I put a few new empty lines at the bottom as well. So something fishy is happening.
Due to not having information about your SWINT datatype the following is generated for me.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION swsp_greateq_zero(
fieldValue      IN SWINT DEFAULT NULL)
RETURN INTEGER
AS
BEGIN
     IF fieldValue < 0 THEN
     BEGIN
          RETURN 1;
     END;
     ELSE
     BEGIN
          RETURN 0;
     END;
     END IF;
END swsp_greateq_zero;
Just to note, We are releasing a Sybase 12 and Sybase 15 plugin for the new SQL Developer Migration Workbench in the next release, which will hopefully be early next year.

Dermot

Point/Migrate batch jobs from Sybase(auto scheduled through Control-M application) to SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I am currently working in project where we need to migrate/point batch jobs to SQL server 2005. At this moment they are pointing to Sybase. Batch jobs are in .bat and .exe format. These jobs read in an external file, does some reformatting,
and then loads it into 2 sybase tables. These jobs are auto scheduled through Control-M application.
Any idea please ?
Thanks,
Chirag Patel

Change your post to type 'Question' Chirag
You would need to at least change the connection strings, and how you access SQL Server, but typically code changes are necessary.
You unfortunately don't provide enough details. But it is not as trivial to just 'point' a bunch of jobs to a new target.

Are there Major Impacts Migrating from Sybase 12.x to Oracle 10g, 9i, or 8i

If anyone knows any websites on this subject or can help; I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Rudy,
were there any errors reported on screen when you ran the SYBASE12_DSML_SCRIPT.BAT file ? If so, the data in the .DAT
files (which are generated by this script in the %ORACLE_HOME%\OMWB\DSML_SCRIPTS\Sybase12 directory)
may be incomplete or even corrupt and this may cause problems when the Workbench attempts to load them. The script
reports successes and errors to the screen while it runs and you may discover what the problem could be from these reports.
If the script does not report any errors then there should be some indication of what the problem is from the error.log
file which can be found in %ORACLE_HOME%\OMWB\Log or from an error/warning message sent to the progress
window in the Workbench. If you would like to send me the text of any errors you find to be reported or if you would like to
send me copies of the files generated on your machine by the DSML script, I would be happy to investigate the problem further
and report back to you.
Ragards,
Tom.
