Migrating from Development to Test Server

Hi
I have developed an OA extension page and deployed it.
But now once I want to move my extension page from development to test server how do I do it. My doubts are because:
While developing the pages I specified the connection username and password which is stored in the bc4j.xcfg file.
What is the best way to deploy the OA Extension pages in respect to migration.
Thanks
Abhi

Yes my concern is the DB connection!
My doubt is because of the following entry in the bc4j.xcfg file.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<BC4JConfig>
<ConnectionDefinition name="DEV">
<ENTRY name="JDBC_PORT" value="1544"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionType" value="JDBC"/>
<ENTRY name="HOSTNAME" value="HOST"/>
<ENTRY name="user" value="apps"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionName" value="DEV"/>
<ENTRY name="SID" value="DEV"/>
<ENTRY name="JdbcDriver" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
<ENTRY name="password">
<![CDATA[develop]]>
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY name="ORACLE_JDBC_TYPE" value="thin"/>
<ENTRY name="DeployPassword" value="true"/>
</ConnectionDefinition>
</BC4JConfig>
So while migrating to test server will i have to modify this file or this entry is required because we are using jdeveloper on the local machine.
Can you tell me the relevance of this config file.
Thanks
Abhi

Planning Migration from Development Server to Testing Server

Hi All,
I am doing migration from development env to testing env. I am stuck in the middle of the migration. Anyone please guide me in this situation. Its very urgent for me. I am following below steps for the planning migration
1. Create a new database on Production RDBMS Server for your planning application.
I created the new database for my planning application.
2. Configure a data source on Production Planning Server.
     I configured the new datasource on planning.
3. Create fresh planning application on Production Server and Ensure the admin is the same as your planning application on Development Server.
     I created the new planning application on production server. Its working fine with admin login.
4. Go into the database tables for the planning app on Production Server and look at table HSP_USERS; store the SID value against user 50001.
     I save the SID value against 50001 in a notepad
5. Go into the database planning system tables on Production Server and HSPSYS_APPLICATION, clear out the version field for the application you have created.
     I removed the version for the application i created
6. Stop Planning.
     I stopped the planning services
7. Restore the planning application database on Development over the one created in the first step (to the Production Server Database).
     In this steps only, i am facing diffculities.
     How to take the backup of development database? (Here, i want to the take the database backup of planning application schema or entire oracle databat in development server)
     How to restore to testing env database
Please anyone guide me in this situtation. Please......
8. Go into the HSP_USERS table and update the SID for user id 50001
9. Start planning
10. Go to planning web and you should see your application when you try and log in it should take you to a migrate screen.
11. If you are requiring to migrate users as well, you will have to make sure you create them in Shared Services and then use the updateusers utility in the planning bin directory.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi Mars,
Thanks for your reply. I did the same as you specified. I used Imp instead of import, exp instead of export.
7. Restore the planning application database on Development over the one created in the first step (to the Production Server Database).
I restored the Planning dmp here
8. Go into the HSP_USERS table and update the SID for user id 50001
Here, SID remains the same after restore the backup from the development server(SID same for Development and testing Server)
9. Start planning
I started the Planning Services.
10. Go to planning web and you should see your application when you try and log in it should take you to a migrate screen
I am facing problem here.
While login into planning application, its not redirect to migrate screen. Its normally login to the application
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Migration From Developer 2.1 to Forms 6i/9i

Hello,
My client wants to migrate from Developer 2.1 to Forms 6i or to Forms 9i with C/S architecture (Sun Solaris 2.6). They are told (from Oracle Support) that they need to add a patch set before migrating. Has anybody migrated in this environment and what patch set was added?
Thanks,
Arun.

Hi,
3 things.
1. The forms 9i is NOT available for the client/server environment. Therefore if your customer insists on client/server environment then you need to upgrade to forms 6i (which is the final client/server version of forms/reports developer).
2. There are OS patches that you need to apply if you want to run forms/reports developer 6i on solaris 2.6. The complete list is available in the 6i installation documentation (you might find it also on the internet). If you upgrade the OS to solaris 8, then there is no extra OS patches required for forms/reports developer 6i. We are running 6i on Solaris 8 (with no extra OS patches).
3. The last available patch for forms/reports developer 6i is patch #10 which can be downloaded from Oracle Metalink. I did apply this patch for 6i on solaris 8 client/server environment and has not seen any negative effect so far.
regards.

Multiple projects and their promotion from Develop to Test to Production

A customer has an interConnect infrastructure running about 5 projects. Each project has a Development, a Test, an Acceptance and a Production environment.
This basically works, but is really cumbersome to maintain.
They want to reduce the number of Interconnect installations as much as possible to ease maintenance. The iConnect version is 10gR1.
As far as I can see there are two options:
1) Put all projects into a single repository. You'd end up with only 4 InterConnect environments (Development, Test, Acceptance and Production)
2) Put all hub schemas into a single DB
The first one is obviously our favourite, but can you promote a single project to a new environment (say, from Development to Test) without affecting the other projects in the same repository? How difficult (if possible) is this? What are the possibilities and risks?
What are the possibilities for option number 2?
I hope anybody can give me some advice.
Arjan

Its slightly confusing about having multiple projects, the reason being the way Interconnect works is that it has a single database repository and when you create a project it is just a view on that repository. Therefore a project and a repository are essentially one and the same.
Therefore it would imply that if you have 5 separate projects then you also have 5 separate repository instances.
In terms of your options:
1) is the general way that most projects work. Lets say you have DEV, SYS, UAT, PROD. Therefore you'd generally have a repository instance for each env, therefore 4 repository instances, HUBDEV - for DEV env, HUBSYS for SYS env etc... These repositories would usually be in separate Oracle Instances although they could be on the same servers. Therefore the Hub schema for all, would be the normal one installed by the product, OAIHUB904. Then you would also have a single project for each repository. This repository would hold all the metadata for all your interfaces that go though this HUB instance.
As interfaces move through the various phases then you migrate between the different repositories, to move stuff from DEV to SYS etc...
2) From my understanding, this is not much differnet to the above except you want to hold all the Hub schemas in a single database instance. This is possible by creating each schema with a differnet name, OAIHUB904DEV, OAIHUB904SYS etc... and you would need to change the necessary infrastructure ini files to use these new names. With this setup you would still have 1 project per repository but it would just point to the relevant schema.
Let me know if you have any more queries.
Regards
Stuart.

Migration from Developer 6i to 9i

We are in the process of migrating a large application from developer 6i (client/server) to developer 9i (Application Server 10g). When recompiled the forms in 9i, it says built-ins such as "go_item", "Set.." etc. are not supported. We are also facing some problems in calling reports (using the run_report_object). If there are work arounds, please reply.
Thanks in advance

ODI Objects Migration from Dev to Test and Prod Enviornments

Hi ,
Can someone please advise the order of the steps that have to be followed for ODI code migration form Development to Test and Prod Environments ?
Below are the Details ,
ODI Version : 11.1.1.6.0
Development Environment : 1 Master Repository (M1) and 1 Work Repository
Test Environment : 1 Master Repository (M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Prod Environment : 1 Master Repository ( M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Test and Prod environments are on the same master Repository.
Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt response !!!
"If they are not in sync, import models, datastores, topology first & then import interfaces/projects"
Do we import Models, data stores ? Since they are execution repositories we can only import scenarios right.

System Wide Data Formats Not copied from Development to test

I am using OBIEE 10g. When I copy my dashboards and reports via the Catalog Manager from the development environment to the test environment the system wide data formats are not being copied over. That is, all the ones that I saved under "Column Properties->Column Format->Save As System Wide Default" are not being copied over. I am using archive and unarchive in the Catalog Manager to move from development to test environment. So my question is where are these system-wide defaults stored and what do I need to do get them copied over?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
the system wide column formats are stored in catalog under system/metadata folder.
copy this folder from dev env to test env. via catalog manager, restart ps.
assign points if found helpful.

How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production

Hi,
How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production..? Export-Import a Delivery Unit does only the structure and not the data
Reg
Sri

Hi Sri,
You cannot transport Data via Transport route in HANA, you can only transport code changes/Structure via DU. For Data movement, you either have a do a export/import from a flat file or replication from a Source System to HANA.
Thanks Much,

Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
Ciao.

How to transport requests from development to production server

hi gurus
i am new to SDN
can u pls give me detailed information how to transport requests from development server to production server?if possible give me screen shot documents
regards
surya

Hi
Transporting
There are help pages that discuss creation of transports.
In simple terms, you: create a transport package
add objects to the package export the package, plus optionally any related objects to a predefined folder/directory on the portal server into a file with an extension of .EPA copy the .EPA file to the import folder of your QA system and import it test the contents on the QA system copy the .EPA file to the import folder of your production system and import it Create a transport package file
Here is the step by step procedure to create a transport package:
For Export
1. Go to system administration, and click on transport?export.
2. In the middle pane, select the folder you want to export and right click on the Transport Package. 3. Fill in the General Properties i.e the name of the package, id and description. 4. And say finish and open the object for editing.
5. When the object has been opened then right click on the object you want to transport, and say "Add object to the Transport Package".
6. Check the checkbox of the item u have added and see the properties if it has been added properly. 7. Now click on the save button.
8. After the object is saved, click on the export button. 9. U will have an option to select where to store the .epa file which will be generated. U can overwrite an existing one by selecting the browse button, or store it with the generated name in the location it automatically generates. 10. Now Click on the Start Export button.
11. once the export is completed, it shows a report on how much time is taken to generate the .epa file. 12. Here there is an option for downloading the .epa file. Click on the link and download the file. This file is ready to be uploaded into any other EP Server.
For Import:
Pre-requisites: You have to copy the .epa file created while export into the local drive. Optionally, you have to manually copy the .epa file generated in the export function into the Import directory of the server ie. chooseFollow the steps below for importing a certain file. 1. Go to System Administration in the portal, and click on Transport?Import. 2. For the source of the package, Click on the radio button Server for the .epa file you have copied lately. Else, click on the radio button on client if you are operating in the client and select the .epa file you have stored on the local drive. 3. Now select the file from the browse option and click on Upload.
4. Now click on the import button. 5. Once the import process is finished, the report is shown. In the whole process, the par files are not included in the .epa files. For the par files to be included into the .epa files then we have to change the pcdStartup.properties file in the server. The property to be changed is Pcd.TransportApplication.Export.ExcludeObjectTypesAfterRuleProcessing: Keep this property's value as empty for enabling the par files to be uploaded into the .epa. You can check for this property in the portal in the following -System Administration-Support-Portal Content Directory-PCD Configuration.

AIA FP 11.1.1.3 - Deployment Plan Generation for migrating from Dev to Test

Hi All,
Can you please validate the following from a Deployment from Dev to Test perspective. We have almost completed the development for an interface using AIA 11g, and are in the process of moving the interface from one instnace to another, and any help is highly appreciated.
Let us the take Purchase Order Integration between a legacy application and Oracle Purchasing, File Adapter-> Requester ABCS -> EBS -> Provider ABCS -> DB Adapter, which is a classical flow.
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the LCW using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.
8. After harvesting, from the AIA LCW, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instanec.
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
Regards,
Anish

Hi Anish,
Following are the responses -
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench - Yes
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow - Yes
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the PLWB using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.-Yes but location attribute in binding.ws section of composite.xml should always have concrete WSDL location.Use <replaceToken> in DeploymentPlan to replace the ip and port.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them - Yes
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide-Yes
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.- Yes
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.-Yes
8. After harvesting, from the AIA PLWB, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?-The 5 composites created by you should have a corresponding service solution component defined.When you define a service solution component in PLWB then a GUID is generated in the database table.You need to retrieve that value and manually enter in the annotation section of composite.xml except for ABCS.Then only the BOM will contain information on all the composites.
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.*-Once you harvest it will be visible.*
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML - Yes
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS - Yes
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instance.-Yes
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
Yes the 'UpdateMetaData' section under 'Configurations' in the DeploymentPlan will upload XSDs, WSDLs, DVM,Xrefs into MDS.
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
The 'Deployments' section will deploy the project into server and write the information into MDS.

Migration from Developer 4.5 to Developer 6i

Hello,
I want to migrate a Oracle forms 4.5 application to developer 6i.
The Forms 4.5 application has been built by using headstart 3.4.2. The application runs on a client-server architecture
Is it possible to migrate to developer 6i without changing the used headstart version and the architecture.
I already heard that we might be some problems with visual attributes in client-server environment ?
who can give me some more information about this combination of architecture and used software and tools ?

Hi,
I would contact Oracle Developer support.
This forum area of expertise is issues concerning migrations from non-oracle platforms to ORacle.
