Migrating from Red Brick database to Oracle 11g -Need help with the process

Hi,
I am on this new project were we are migrating from IBM Red Brick Data Warehouse to Oracle 11g. We have a very tight time line. I was hoping if any of you have done this migration before and are willing to share their experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get a brief idea about how to go about the process.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
that is a matter of supply and demand, and as the demand to migrate Red Brick to Oracle RDBMS is very low, Oracle never included Red Brick into the migration tools.
If you search in the forums for Red Brick, you will not find much more than this one from the year 2006:
Re: Migration from rebrick 6.0.3 to Oracle 9i
Options:
In general we have the following options:
1. Oracle Migration Workbench
2. SQL Developer Migration Workbench
3. Generic Connectivity
4. SQL*Loader
Regarding your dedicated foreign database, option 1 and 2 fail as those tools
do not work against Red Brick DB.
Generic Connectivity would be an option if you have an ODBC driver to this database.
In this dedicated case, you can then set up generic connectivity (= a database
link to the foreign database using odbc).
The Oracle database we support generic connectivity can reside on Windows,
Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Linux.
If the Oracle database is on any other platform, you might migrate to a
database on this platform, then export the migrated DB and then load it into
the real target db.
Generic Connectivity will allow you to perform a SQL*Plus copy of tables; this
means you can create tables like they are defined in your source and transfer
the data to the Oracle db; but no procedures, triggers or anything coded can be
transferred.
Last option (4) is that you generate "flat files". This means ASCII-SPOOL
Files and then import them using SQL*Loader. As far as I know there is no
existing SQL*Loader sample file for Red Brick databases exports and you need to
write them on your own.
I recommend to read also the following note in My Oracle Support:
Note 233876.1: Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases

Migrate peoplesoft sybase HR database to oracle 11g

Hi All,
We am looking to migrate from sybase 12 to Oracle 11g. We are not sure on which path to choose for this migration to be done. Ths sybase Database is around 55 GB. Below are few questions. Please let me know. The down time on this database can not be more than 2 days at the max.
1. What is the best and fastest way to do this, if there is one?
2. Any Documentation on steps involved in migration?
3. Do we have to use any 3rd party tools for this?
4. Can we achieve the data migration with sql loader, if yes is it the suggested way to do this and is there any documentation on this?
I tried sql developer to do the migration but it did not go well and finally found that it is not the way to migrate a Database with peoplesoft environment, below is the link to explain more about what I have done with sql developer.
If there is any other information required, below link has almost all the information.

1)     Build an Oracle Demo system patched to the same release level as the current production system.
2)     Launch Application Designer and compare the production system to the demo system so you may capture the modifications.
3)     Load a custom table with the tables listed in the MVPRDEXP.EXP in the production system. Run a script to create an export script for all PSRECDEFN where the RECTYPE is 0. This identifies all application data tables. You may want to dms export large tables in parallel.
4)     DMS Import the exported data into the Oracle instance.
5)     Reapply the modifications.

HT5312 i need help with the security questions is there some way to get you to remind me what they were from e-mail or other wise

I need help with the security Questions is there some way to get you to remember them by e-mail of other wise

Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Hi Naveen,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?You will need much more which suggestions.
You will need a Siebel professional which has done this type of migration. Migrating the Database is not a task so hard, after migrating your environment should be functional and healthy it is usually the task problematic.
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?We can recommend the minimum recommended, but this documentation already does, you need to do a analysis on your environment and ask a vendor Siebel tell the which is recommended for you and how to find the best "number" for you, in your case is very hard because everything changes.

Migrate peoplesoft sybase HRMS database to oracle 11g

Hi All,
I want to know if I can migrate a sybase peoplesoft HRMS database to oracle 11g using sql developer 3.0. I am trying to do this following the steps given in the link below but it is taking for ever for the convert step, I could see the messae saying building converted model.
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/sqldev/r30/SybaseMigration/SybaseMigration.htm
The sybase database is 55GB and the version is 12. There are around 20,000 tables in Sybase Database.
Please advise, if this is possible with SQL Developer??
If yes, how long this process might take(for each step in the above link), based on any past convertions of the same size database??
If this is not feasable with SQL Developer because of the complexity of the database, are there any other tools we can look into which might be faster/better than SQL Developer.
Please advise.
Thanks..

Hi Dermot, Tanks for the reply.
"Do you know the number of views and procedures captured". Below is the ouput from some of the tables in migration repositary.
count from md_derivatives table, grouped by derived_type.
MD_CATALOGS     1
MD_USERS     1
MD_CONNECTIONS     2
MD_SCHEMAS     4

MD_COLUMNS     766244
Count from md_views table 34316
Count from md_additional_properties table 110322
"Is there a chance the convert phase has hung, or does it refresh ever so ofter with details of another object being "migrated"?"
It is not hung. I can see the message 'Translating views' right now, and the View names change often but not fast roughly every minute. When I checked for what the session is doing, I could see the below two sql statements.
SELECT PROP_KEY, VALUE, PROPERTY_ORDER, CONNECTION_ID_FK
FROM MD_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES
WHERE REF_ID_FK = :1
ORDER BY PROPERTY_ORDER;
SELECT ID
FROM MD_TABLES -- Some times this is MD_VIEWS
WHERE SCHEMA_ID_FK = :1 AND UPPER (TABLE_NAME) = UPPER (:2)
"What is the current "Being migrated" information?"
Translating View xxx.
"Does the tablespaces your migration repository schema is based on have sufficient space?"
Yes, Since there is no data at this point, it is all done in one table space which is set to grow UNLIMITED. At this point the size of the table space is a little over 500M.
"Is SQL Developer being run on the same machine as the Oracle database containing the migration repository? (conversion can be alot quicker for procedure,view,trigger conversion if SQL Developer is on the same machine as the repository)"
NO. SQL developer is running on my machine but the migration repositary is in the database which is on HP-UX box. Below are some of the details of the server. Also, since the database in on HP-UX, I couldn't find SQL developer for UNIX. I also read in the release note of 3.0 that it is not supported with UNIX, Is that right? else is there a way I can install SQL developer on the Unix server and that might improve the performance!, if yes, please guide me with the steps to do this installation.
Server:
Processors: 4, CPU version: PA 8700 CPU module 3.1, clock Frequency: 750MHz, Hardware Model: 900/800/L3000-7x, Kernel width Support 64.

I see the below when I do a 'glance' on the server. Looks like it is using most of the memory and the Swap. These are the numbers from the server after the migration started, they stay consistent all time with very small variation.

Hi Raghavendra, welcome to the forum!
I suggest you remove you email from your post to avoid recieveing undesired emails.
There are two OCA paths, OCA Developer or OCA DBA.
For both paths you need to take one of the following SQL exams:
1z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (this is an outdated exam)
or
1z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert (more advanced exam recommended for developers/dbas with SQL experience)
or
1z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I (recommended for beginners or people with average experience in SQL)
After passing one of these exams, if you want to take the OCA DBA path you need to do the:
1z0-052 Administration I exam
After passing one of the SQL exams, if you want to take the OCA Developer path you need one of the:
1z0-147 Program with PL/SQL (outdated exam)
or
1z0-144 Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL (more actual exam, recommended)

Migrating from iMac CD to MBPC2D - Need Help with the FIle Migration

I just ordered a refurb 2.4 MacBook Pro, which will replace my iMac Core Duo as my main machine. The iMac is running Tiger. I've decided that I only am concerned with migrating the following information from the iMac, and want some help on the best way to do this (paths/locations would be helpful too):
-iPhone backups - to ensure my iPhone doesn't get wiped when it syncs. I will want to copy the last backup over to the MBP.
-All iTunes Music and Movies
I will then manually re-install VirusBarrier x4, MS Office, etc. I think this is better than trying to migrate everything over. What do you think?
Edit: I also have a FireWire external hard-drive available to assist with this.
Thanks

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
   rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
   4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
   rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
   If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

Need help with the Exchange migration task (SBS2003 to SBS2011)

Hi,
I am currently migrating from SBS2003 to SBS2011. Here is the environment configuration currently;
Old Server - SBS2003
New Server - SBS2011
DNS is handled by Godaddy and I have DNS records pointing to the single IP issued by our internet provider (MX records, locator, etc).
My trusted certificate has been resigned and installed on the new server.
The "configure internet" and "migrate network settings" has created rules on the router for uPNP and pointed 80,443,25, etc to the new servers's internal IP.
The new server's remote web workplace is functioning and users are able to use the RDP gateway piece.
I have gotten to the step of the migration wizard - "Migrate Exchange Mailboxes and Settings"
and this is where I need help. I am on the step "Remove the Exchange Server 2003 Internet connectors from the Source Server" and I don't find the "SmallBusiness SMTP connector". I don't want to proceed because I don't
know much about mail routing and what has or hasn't been done by the rest of the migration tasks. I think e-mail may already be routed through the new server but I don't know really.
How should I proceed?

Hi,
Just addition. Please also refer to following articles and check if can help you.
Move Exchange Server mailboxes and settings

Migration from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g

Hi there,
I have a quick question, Anyone who have experienced to migration procedures,function from SQL Server 2008 to 11g R2. Is it possible? I migrated tables and views through Oracle heterogenious servinces but I am not sure about the fucntions and procedures.
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm regards,

Automated conversions are possible. After these conversions the system will pretty much run. However, and it can be a pretty big HOWEVER, performance could well take a hit - which the uninitiated or SQL Server acolytes will seek to blame on Oracle not being very good. This is not actually the case.
You could be in for a major review and rewrite. Besides the syntax differences in the procedural languages, there is a huge - like really huge - difference in transaction control, isolation, and read consistency. Basically, keep in mind that Oracle reads do not block writes, writes do not block reads, and there are no dirty reads. Writes only block other writes. Thus, no coding 'tricks' are needed to get around these blockers. Oracle has global temporary tables that are generally used to help out those converting from SQL Server. In actuality, then are mostly not needed as you can almost always do your work in one SQL statement.
Read the concepts guide from cover to cover, then do it again, then start looking at what you need to do to convert your procedural code.

This is a problem with oracle forms opening the report through the IE browser. The code is as follows in the oracle forms 9i:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('javascript:'||vr_server||vr_env||'/unix/'||vr_report||'","'||vr_userid||v_parm1||v_parm2||v_parm3||v_parm4||
v_parm5||v_parm6||v_parm7||v_parm8||v_parm9||'")','_top');
The command actually opens a report that is in Excel format in the IE browser. Is OK in MS XP SP1 but does not open in MS XP SP2.

[Oracle 8i] Need help with bind variable in add_months function

I'm trying to put a variable within my add_months function:
AND     t1.edatetime >= add_months(sysdate,:v1)
AND     t1.edatetime <= add_months(sysdate,:v2)I have tried defining the variable both as 'integer' type and 'numeric' type, but in both cases, my query returns no results. If I hard code the values, it works just fine.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem.
What do you mean by "I have tried defining the variable both as 'integer' type and 'numeric' type"?
Like Max said, you should post a complete script that gets the incorrect results.
Include your CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, or use tables that are commonly available.
For example:
VARIABLE      v1     NUMBER
VARIABLE      v2     NUMBER
EXEC :v1 := -28 * 12;
EXEC :v2 := -27 * 12;

Need help with the hover over images from small to bigger

I read the tutorial about the hover over the small image shows a bigger image. I thought I would try it own my own but it did not work, do I need to make a link to the CSS file or do I need to do something different. Please help

Here is the tutorial link:
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/dreamweaver-show-larger-image.php
This is a pure CSS Image Swap without the need for JavaScript behaviors.
It places the thumbnail image on a page with a "nolink" link or anchor so the CSS hover rule can invoke the appearance of the larger image inside an absolutely positioned division (APDiv) layer.
Paste the CSS code into the top of your page between the <head> and </head> tags.
<style type="text/css">
/**image to large**/
#picture {width:100px; height: 250px; background-color:#ffffff;}
#picture a.small, #picture a.small:visited { display:block; width:100px; height:100px; text-decoration:none; background:#ffffff; top:0; left:0; border:0;}
#picture a img {border:0;}
#picture a.small:hover {text-decoration:none; background-color:#000000; color:#000000;}
#picture a .large {display:block; position:absolute; width:0; height:0; border:0; top:0; left:0;}
#picture a.small:hover .large {display:block; position:absolute; top: 90px; left:150px; width:200px; height:200px; }

Forms migration from 2.0 to Forms 10g/11g

Hi,
I want to migrate from forms 2.0 to 10g/11g. I know the migration path is 2.0->4.5->6i->10g/11g . I want to know is it feasible to do the migration from 2.0 to 10g/11g. what are the recommendations.
Thanks & Regards,
Noman

PITTS claim to be able to migrate forms from Forms 2.3 onwards.

It depends on how much you want to spend...
However, if you're looking to do it yourself...
Do you have access to developer versions of Forms V3.0 or 4.5? It's easier if you go from 2.0 -> 3.0 -> 4.5/6i -> 10g. Each version has its own migration utilities, but they gradually remove support for earlier versions. Version 2 (2.3) triggers can exist in version 3, but not in later versions.
Do you have experience of Forms 6i or 10g? If not, you have the scope to re-write the application in the language of your choice. The Oracle website has a number of articles on migrating from Forms 3 and 6i, but not from earlier versions, so it depends on your current knowledge as to how you want to do.
I've migrated Forms 3.0 (with 2.3 style triggers) to 10g by hand. It requires an understanding of how Forms used to work compared to how it works now. You will basically be creating your new application from scratch (depending on what you have been able to upgrade) based on the the blocks and items of your old forms. Your task will be so much easier if you have the intermediate Forms developer tools (4.5/6i).
You'll also be upgrading your database. I assume that you are on Oracle 6/7.
