Migrating from Oracle to SQL Server - data won't migrate but no errors

I'm attempting to migrate a database from an Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0 64-bit) database to a SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.4033.0). I'm using SSMA, and the Oracle tool was installed on the target SQL Server by the DBA. I've completed all the steps up
to and including synchronizing the database, and the empty tables all exist in SQL Server. When I run the step to migrate the data, I get:
Migrating data...
Analyzing metadata...
Preparing table POLICYS.LOGINS...
Preparing data migration package...
Starting data migration Engine
Starting data migration...
Data migration operation has finished.
   0 table(s) successfully migrated.
   0 table(s) partially migrated.
   1 table(s) failed to migrate.
Then a summary box appears, and there is a red X next to the table (I'm trying to just convert 1 small table to begin with.) What immediately appears to be wrong is that the "To" table is blank.
I've attempted this multiple times, different tables (initially tried all tables) and tried both Server Side and Client Side migrations with the same result. There are no errors or warnings on the Error List.
I've found another online post where the user had the same issue, but in that instance they fixed it by changing the case of the table name. I tried that, but it didn't help. I'm not sure what is wrong that it won't migrate any data. Any help
is appreciated. TIA

Data MIgration from Oracle to SQL Server 2005

HI Gurus,
Kindly please advice me how to migrate Data from oracle to MS SQL Server or Vice Versa.
I came to know about 2 methods:
1) Using SQL Developer
2) USing ODBC.
KIndly let me know which method is better. I am in confusion about both option
Kindly advice over the same
Thanks

Usually such questions asked and answered on forums of a target system. In this case on MS SQL forums.
But I will answer.
You should create a LINKED SERVER in MS SQL that connects to Oracle.
Then issue couple of SELECT * INTO <TARGET_TABLE> FROM <ORACLE LINKED SERVER>..<SRC SCHEMA>.<SRC TABLE>.
Install Oracle Client and OLE DB driver on SQL Server machine.
Also, Oracle is case sensitive by default. MS SQL is case insensitive by default. If there are primary/unique keys that have mixed case values in Oracle, then in MS SQL you need to set case sensitive collation for them.
PS. If you need not only migrate data one time, but also to have a real time replication during an application transition period, you can take a look on heterogeneous replication solutions like Golden Gates or DataCurrents.

Migrating from Oracle to SQL Server - SQL HINTS

We are migrating an SAP landscape from HP-UX / Oracle to Windows / SQL Server. We have numerous custom programs with OPEN SQL Hint statements of the form:
select aqmnum akunum aobjnr azztaxtype a~zzservcenter
         azzassmpriok azzaudittype a~zzdr840dt
    into corresponding fields of table lt_qmel
    from qmel as a
    inner join ihpa as b
    on aobjnr = bobjnr
    where a~qmart IN ('Z7','Z8','Z9','ZU','ZD')
    and   b~parnr = sy-uname
    *%_hints oracle*
    *'INDEX("&TABLE&" "IHPAP" "IHPAP")'.*
Question: What is the best way to make these SQL statements compatible with SQL Server?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
as hints are highly database specific it may well be that you won't need them for your new DBMS anymore.
In any case you've to review them one-by-one to check the execution plan of the queries without a hint.
A general "migration of hints" is neither possible nor sensible.

Migrating data from oracle to sql server

I have two databases(Oracle and Sql Server) in my company.
I want to migrate some data on daily basis from Oracle to Sql Server.
what are the best methodologies used to perform this task?
Can we schedule this task on daily basis?
please help me guys

Salma,
First and foremost, you need to understand that there are architectural difference between Oracle and SQL Server (with the major one being the difference between Oracle's PL/SQL and Microsoft's Transact-SQL) thus, it will not be an easy task to migrate data from Oracle Database to SQL Server. As far as the use of tools is concerned, you can utilize the following tools (third party tools not recommended) to achieve this:
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant (Oracle to SQL)
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration-oracle.aspx
Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench (SQL to Oracle)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
But before proceeding with anything, I would recommend you to read through the following post as it lists down the primary compatibility resources and migration guidelines:

Migration of Database from Oracle to SQL Server in Business Objects XI 3.1

Hi,
Currently, We are working on Business Objects XI 3.1 and Database is Oracle 11g. And now we have the requirement to migrate from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2.
I would like to know what are the key points to be considered in business objects XI 3.1 when the database is migrated from oracle to SQL server.
If anyone can share the Impact analysis document for Business Objects, it would be great.
Thanks,
Lavanyaa TP

If you use business objects tools for such migration , the impact should be minimal.
CMSDBCopy mechanism from CCM should work fine for this purpose.

Pulling data from oracle into sql server 2005

hi,
these days i am working on sql server 2005 on windows server 2008 64 bit.
and oracle 10g on 32 bit unix.
my problem is that when i am pulling data from oracle into sql server it shows me about *500-700 entries less*.
why this is happening? is it because 32 bit to 64bit? or is it because of different os?

Akki,
are you using snapshot or replication from MSSQL? I am doing the same thing, hope to share your experience.
I am using import/export from MGT studio and pull some data from Oracle database, I am working on how to update the changes on these tables pulled from Oracle.
Thanks,

Inserting Data from Oracle to SQL Server on the Real Time Basis.

Hi Everyone,
I need to insert data from Oracle to SQL Server on the Real Time basis, we have to fetch data from oracle approx 20 tables, and each table has more than 30 Fields. I need to fetch data in every 15 mins.
I have created a job using SQL SERVER Agent by writing insert queries for all the tables with conditions that no rows will be inserted which is already in SQL. note that this job is taking only 1 min to execute.
But in this way our SQL Server getting hanged and it giving problems to other application running in the SQL SERVER.
So i m requesting all of you that what is the best way to insert huge amount of data on the real time basis.
Thanx in Advance.

1) Create Linked server
2) insert data using openquery and set job in sql agent
3) run job after 15 minutes

Error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server

Hello,
I am getting following error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server using SSMA.
I get Errors 1-3 while migrating procedures and error 4 while migrating a table.
1- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'SYSDATE' is not supported.
2- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.
3- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.
4- O2SS0486: <Primary key name> constraint is disabled in Oracle and cannot be converted because SQL Server does not support disabling of primary or unique constraint.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

The exact statement in oracle side which causing this error (O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.) is below:
dStartDate:= to_date(sStartDate,'MON-YYYY');
Statement causing error O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported is below.
nCount2:= length(regexp_replace(sDataRow,'[^,]'));
So there is no statement which is using to_date(VARCHAR2,
CHAR) and regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR) in as such. 'MON-YYYY' and '[^,]'
are CHAR values hence SSMA is unable to convert it from varchar2 to char.
Regarding SYSDATE issue, you mean to put below code in target(SQL) side in SSMA ?
dDate date := sysdate;
Thanks.

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
Contents of my initMYSQLSERVERDSN.ora file is
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MYSQLSERVERDSN
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hsmsql.trc
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
set ODBCINI=c:\WINDOWS\ODBC.INI
SALIHKM.DOMAIN.COM is my system in which Oracle Test DB is Installed.
SQL Server is in another location.
In Tnsnames i specified ip address.
One more doubt.
I am using 10g Release 2 demo version.
whether it will support Hetrogeneous Services?
How to know whether a database supports HS or not?
Thanks & Regards

Creating Database Link from Oracle to SQL Server

I am trying to create a database link from Oracle to SQL Server, and the documentation is about as clear as mud to me. Can anyone send me clear instructions on exactly what I need to do? What needs to be in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files? Is there anything other than those two files that needs to be set up? Do I set up an ODBC connection? Anything else? I want to execute queries against a SQL Server database and load data into Oracle database.
Thanks so much,
Susan

These are the instructions from an old document I created. The steps are same for SQL Server and Sybase. Hope it helps.
The 9i Transparent Gateway Software is in Oracle Software CD -> oracle9i database -> Custom -> Oracle Transparent Gateways
The gateway can be installed on the same machine as the Oracle database or
on the Sybase server or on a third machine as a stand-alone.
We have installed the gateway software in one of oracle database
servers in a separate oracle home.
These are the steps involved in configuring a gateway to a Sybase database
1.     Install Sybase client and Gateway software on the Gateway Server
2.     Configure <initsidfile> in the Gateway Server's <gatewayhome>
     /u00/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/tg4sybs/admin/init<gatewaysid>.ora
Sybase server and database information is required for this step.
eg: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=USTRUD01.uwd
3.     Add an entry in listener.ora in <listnenerhome>
     (/u00/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/network/admin/listener.ora) for the <gatewaysid>
4.     Edit the tnsnames file (/u00/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora)
to add an entry <tnsalias> for the <gatewaysid>
5.     Create a database link to the Sybase database in the oracle database.
The steps for creating the database link are
a. create a login oracle_tgw in the sybase server
b. add the user to the sybase database with the necessary privilege on the tables
c. create the database link in the required oracle database using the command
     "create public database link <dblinkname> connect to oracle_tgw identified by password using 'tnsalias'; "
6.     Restart the gateway listener.

Changing CMS and Audit Repository databases from Oracle to SQl server 2008

Hi guys,
We have a Business Objects Dev environment which was installed with Oracle 10g database for CMS and Audit Repository.
Our database team now decided to change the CMS and Audit databases of Dev BOE from Oracle to SQL server 2008.
What is the ideal way to achieve this? I'm concerned because the old DB is Oracle and the new one would be SQL server.
Earlier, I have changed CMS database from one to another by stopping SIA , taking the backup of old DB into new and changing it in the Update Databse option. But in that case both old and new CMS databses were on SQL server 2005.
Thanks,
Ganga

Denise,
Thanks for the solution.
We have done Windows AD and SAP integration on the Dev BOE. Will there be any issue with those after the DB change. I am guessing there won't be, but just want to confirm. Please reply.
Also, we need to stop the old SIA and start using the new SIA after the step two is done right?

DB Link from Oracle to SQL Server error

I need to perfome some select on the tables which reside in SQL Server 2005 from Oracle 10g.
I followed the steps given in :

I could perform a TNS ping which is successful but only when I perform a select I receive this error.

Please guide me.
I am really looking ahead for a solution.

Dear buddies,
I am trying to create a dblink from Oracle to SQL Server.
This is my tnsnames.ora

# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>I have created my System DSN for sq with the appropriate values which works fine when I tested the connection.
These 2 databases are in different servers.
This is how I created the db link in Oracle
create public database link sq

using 'sq'
select "Column1"

When I try to recreate the database link it tells me that: ORA-02011: duplicate database link name
I hope someone could guide me.
Thanks.
