Does anybody have experience of migrating existing DEC-DBMS database on VAX/VMS platform
to Oracle 8i database on AIX platform?
If so can you please provide details such as:
Issues in such migration

Hi,
We do have some old toolkits

Conversion from DEC forms on VAX to Forms5/6i

Hi ,
The requirement is to migrate around 140 DEC forms on VAX platform to Oracle Forms. Is there any tool which does the same. If so we have to consider the feasibility of tool based approach compared to manual development of the forms.
Even after conversion, the application will be running on character mode screens only. Some more people who have been working on this found a way to parse the IFDL files (the programs for DEC forms) to get details in ASCII format. This can give some information regarding the fields on forms, validations, etc. But this has to be in a format acceptable for Oracle Forms. Maybe, the feature of converting from text to binary (FMT to FMB) in Oracle forms can be used to generate the forms based on the details got from DEC forms. For this we need to understand thoroughly the format for FMT acceptable for character based forms. Based on this the feasibility to convert the IFDL details to FMT using a tool can be analyzed.
If anyone is having some idea to solve my problem then it would be a great help to me.

Migrating from Ingres 1.2 on VMS to Oracle 8i on Unix

I need to convert an Ingres 1.2 database (VMS) to Oracle 8i (Unix). Does anybody know of a toolkit that would work for me?

Add this paramter CONSTRAINTS=NO while exporting, could be one solution.

How to only migrate data from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11?

According to our requirement, We need to only migrate data from a SQL Server database to an existed
Oracle database user.
1) I tried to do it with SQL Developer 3.0.04 Migration Wizard, But find an issue.
My SQL Server database name is SCDS41P2, and my Oracle database user name is CDS41P2;
When I used SQL Developer to do offline move data by Migration Wizard, I found all oracle user
name in movedata files which gotten by run Migration Wizard
is dbo_SCDS41P2. If the Oracle user name is not the same as my existed Oracle user name,
the data can't be moved to my existed Oracle user when I run oracle_ctl.bat in command line window.
So I had to modify the Oracle user name in all movedata files, but it's difficult to modify them because there are many tables in
databases. So could you please tell me how to get the movedata files which the oracle user name in them is my
expected Oracle user name?
2) I also tried to use the 'copy to Oracle' function to copy the SQL Server database tables data
to the existed Oracle database user. When clicked 'copy to Oracle', I selected 'Include Data' and 'Replace' option
But I found some tables can't be copied, the error info is as below:
Table SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE Failed. Message: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
Could you please tell me how to deal with this kind of error?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for you replying. But the 'copy to oracle' function still can't be work well. I will give some info about the table. I also search 'SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE' in the target schema, and only find one object. So why say 'name is already used by an existing object'? Could you please give me some advice? Thanks!

Object library not registered i tried many workaround but of no use..
anybody's help in this regard would be well appreciated.
thanks.

Hi,
Did you follow all the steps in the SQL*Developer documentation about preparing the Access database for migration -
Oracle® SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 3.0 -
2.2.4.3 Before Migrating From Microsoft Access
and -
Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations Release 3.0
2.4 Preparing the Microsoft Access Database for Capture
The error also indicates there may be a problem with your Access installation so could you check that everything is okay with that ? I have found references that indicate a re-install of Office/Access will prevent the error.
Regards,
Mike

Issue with migration DB from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 11.2 using SQL Developer Migration workbench

Hi,
We face an issue while migrating an SQL Server 2005 DB to Oracle 11.2. It fails during the process. I hope someone on the forum has seen this before and can give us some advice.
I use the latest version of SQL Developer with JRE included (3.2.20.09). The JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server 2005 is 1.2.0
Here are the steps we take in the Migration Workbench wizard:
I made an online extract of the SQL Server database.
Using the workbench in SQL Developer I created a migration repository in schema PDM_MIGRATION.
Next I start the migration, it captures the tables fine, but immediately after the start of the conversion I get a failed message without further explanations.
This is the content of the error xml:

I see the PDM_MIGRATION.MIGR_FILTER is a type.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for your reply.
This is how the type MIGR_FILTER looks like:
create or replace
TYPE MIGR_FILTER IS OBJECT (
FILTER_TYPE INTEGER, -- Filter Types are 0-> ALL, 1->NAMELIST, 2->WHERE CLAUSE, 3->OBJECTID LIST
OBJTYPE VARCHAR2(40),
OBJECTIDS OBJECTIDLIST,
NAMES NAMELIST,
WHERECLAUSE VARCHAR2(1000));
I think the repository user has the correct privileges. This is the overview of privileges it has:

Related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g

We're trying to migrate a Sql server managment studio database to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 4.0. We can successfully connect to both Sql server managment studion 8.0 and Oracle 11g using the tool, as well as click through the Migration Wizard and start the migration.
This opens the Database Migration dialog box, which indicates the capture process starts normally. we get the following error:
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column) ,
\and then after some time , i get an error that migration failed
i am not getting the reason,I thing it may be due to reason that , I have table's column in my source db with more than 30 character.
If i am migrating one by one table . then it is not giving any error, and identifier name is getting shrink in 30 character. but i am not getting the view , stored procedure , indexes , and others
then what is the solution for that, somebody pls suggest any help?????????????

Pl do not post duplicates - related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g
Continue the discussion in your original thread
The error message is explicitly clear
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column)
Your process is trying to insert a NULL value into the ID column, which presumably cannot be NULL

As well as reading the documentation thoroughly the following note available in My Oracle Support may be useful -

Are you migrating or taking continual updates?
If migrating it might be worth considering The SQLDeveloper Migration Workbench (which moves more than just data)..

Migration from Sybase 11.9.1 to Oracle 7.3.4

Does the Oracle Migration Workbench 1.2.2 support database migration from Sybase 11.9.1 to Oracle 7.3.4?
If not, is there any work-around or any other tool? Can we still use Migration Workbench for this migration?
Thanks.

It is probably best to use the latest version of the workbench (1.2.5.0.0). Migration to 7.3 is not supported but should work except for the newer features, for example use long instead of blob and clob, and do not use 8i temporary tables.
