Migrating multiple access databases to 9i

I have generated several xml files using omwb exporter, from several individual access mdb files. All the access databases have identical structures. But each time I go into omwb and create a source database from an xml file, the previous source disappears and is replaced by the one I just generated. The FAQs say that all sources should appear, but be identical apart from the path. What am I doing wrong?

I forgot to mention Andy,
That one thing I did was to go ahead and migrate my first database to oracle. After that migration was completed, I restarted the migration process for my second database (which was named the same name as the first database in order to have it go to the same user/tablespace).
There were obvious errors since the migration was trying to create the same user and tablespace that already exist because of the first migration. I had to abort the migration while the data was being transferred because the migration workbench was just hanging.
I did check however and the database tables WERE created under the same user and tablespace, but WITHOUT the data. I'm sure I could go in and simply migrate the tables data but there should be an easier mechanism!
I'm thinking that each database will have to be migrated to a different username/tablespaces for now.

Migrating MS Access database to Oracle 8i

Hello,
How can I migrate a database in MS Access to Oracle 8i?
I need do a program with 2 conections (one in Access and other in Oracle) and saving in Oracle??
Thanks

you may want to look into using Oracle's Migration Workbench that will take your Access database and then translate it to an XML file from which it then generates the DDL and SQL*Loader scripts for you (which you can always modify before running).
Hope this helps.

How to migrate multiple ACS database into one ACS database ?

Hey All,
we just purchased several companies and as IT/network department, we need to consolidate all the ACS from the HQ and the purchased company into one ACS, I read the cisco docs. mentioned, I can export the migration file from the old acs and upload it into the new acs serve.
but my concern is we have multiple acs server, will the the muliple acs migration files overwrite each other during the upload into the new server.
thanks

Raghavender -
I am not an expert on MySQL migration, but you would look to migrate the database to a local Oracle Database and then move that to your Database Cloud Service. However, keep in mind that at this time you can only access the Database Cloud Service from outside the Cloud via RESTful Web Services, so you might have to modify the application that accesses the database. Hope this helps.

SQL Developer 1.5.4 failed to migrate MS Access 2002 database

Hello,
I tried to migrate a MS Access 2002 Database to Oracle.
Migration of tables failed in both ways:
Exporter for MS Access Rel. 3.2.0.00.13 displayed the following error:
Error #5 - XMLExporter - Ungültiger Prozeduraufruf oder ungültiges Argument c:\Access\Stammdaten_Beton_test.mdb Database Schema Export did not complete successfully.
(translated German parts: "Invalid procedure call or invalid argument")
When using quick migration wizard also an error "Ungültiger Prozeduraufruf oder ungültiges Argument" is raised after Access starts.

Any ideas?
Access version is MS Access 2002 SP3 (German) on a German Windows XP SP3 system.

Converting Access application after migrating SQL Server database

I have used migration workbench to migrate an access database and application. I now have sql server databases with access applications that need to be migrated. How can I convert the access applications that currently use sql server as a database? I don't see that migration workbench considers this combination.

If you have and Access/SQL Server combination. then download the SQL server plugin appropriate to your version of SQL server. Go ahead and migrate the SQL Server database to Oracle. Once this is done, then update your access application so your link tables point to your newly migrated Oracle database.

How to Protect your Custom Access Database Product - so that you can sell & distribute it?

I'm looking for an update on this topic as I have been away from Access for a couple of years and have not kept up with the latest.
Hopefully they have made it easier to design, develop, sell and distribute custom database solutions. So here goes...
Question A:
If one develops a custom database product with Access 2013 what is the current best way to...
1 - Prevent it from being (too easily) copied
2 - Prevent it from being (too easily) reverse engineered
3 - Prividing a time limited free demo copy?
4 - Providing a demo copy with limited functionality... like limiting the number of records in an important table, or whatever?
5 - What have I left out of this list that should be considered for protecting ones investment in the development of the product? (other than copyright, of course.)
Question B:
What is the latest on being able to migrate an Access database to the cloud?
1 - Entirely online
2 - Part in the cloud and part on the users machine
3 - And what about all that VBA code - is there no way to make that work in the cloud and/or on a web server... or does it all have to be tossed and all the coding redone?
Question C:
What are other alternatives solutions for selling your custom database application while protecting all your investment in developing it?
1 - Write the front end in C++ (so that it is fully compiled) and the back end in ASP with MS SQL Server? (or alternative server side solutions)
2 - Write the whole thing as a server side solution with browser interface?
3 - Or what?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Fran_3,
>>What is the latest on being able to migrate an Access database to the cloud?
In my option, the Access Web app would be a better choise.

Tony

Access Database (.mdb) on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Hi guys, thanks for your time!
SCENARIO:
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials
- Windows 7 Ultimate Clients (3 clients)
- VB6 application on clients using a MS Database (.mdb) hosted on the server.
- Clients access the database (.mdb) via a mapped network drive (K:).
PROBLEM:
- Microsoft Database (.mdb) on server gets corrupted frequently.
- Clients don't "flush their changes" back to the database: database was not updated.
WORKAROUND:
- Database was moved from the server to one of the Windows 7 clients.
- Application is running OK.
CONFIGURATION:
- Permissions are correct: network and NTFS.
- No faulty network hardware: switch, cabling, NICs.
- Computers and Server hardware is new.
- UPS are used everywhere.
SOME LINKS:
SMB 3.0
- Opportunistic Locking and Read Caching on Microsoft Windows Networks.
- Windows 7 cannot
open the shared MS Access database if it's opened by another user
- Initializing the
Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine Driver
- Moved to
Server 2012 getting Access Database Corruption
Oplocks
- Configuring
opportunistic locking in Windows
- Understanding
offline files
- How to
enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3
- Is it possible to
monitor and log actual queries against an Access MDB?
Now, server is useless if it is not hosting our database. Any ideas, please? Do I need to diagnose using Wireshark? Or using Sysinternals Process Monitor? I think that is a waste of time.
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply.
Software is from a 3rd party provider. It currently supports concurrency. It was deployed on Windows XP. SQL Server would be a nice upgrade, however that is
not an option.
Something has changed with newer versions of Windows. That is what I am going to study in a lab I prepared with a real server and some clients.
File-sharing databases (Microsoft JET databases) are very old technology even before I was a college student. However, I have been very busy researching this technology.
It was made for multi-user environments. It is highly tied to file sharing services from Windows: SMB protocol.
Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 use different versions of this protocol. I think that is the root of the problem. With old technology, application was running fine.
With new technology, application is troublesome. I will check several things: JET drivers vs. ACE drivers, SMB tweaks, etc.
UPDATE:
Basically, there are 4 general answers to this issue:
1) Migrate your Access Database to SQL Server Express (or another RDBMS engine).
2) @Server: disable SMB 2.0/3.0 protocol stack by powershell command. Network speed decreases.
3) @Clients: disable client redirector caches by using regedit.
4) @Server: disable the leasing on the file server.
5) @Server: tuning Broadcom NIC parameters.

Migration from Access with SQL Developer 1.2.2998 Does not migrate Relation

Hi,
I've almost successfully migrated an Access database to Oracle with SQL Developer with Quick Migration Option. Everything went all right, except for the tables relationships... they were not migrated. Have I forgot to do something?
Thanks in advance.

MS Access database opens read only

An Access application with linked databases opens read only, but sometimes is editable. The system was developed in Access 10 on a Win 7 machine and migrated to a standalone laptop running Win 8 and Office 365.
The Access 10 has no problem in operating the application. The Win 8 laptop randomly opens the application read only. I have reviewed Trust settings and there is no difference between the different laptops and systems.
Is this a common problem? Is it associated with Win 8? Is it associated with Access form Office 365? The application is crucial to the business and we are getting way behind because we don't have a reliable or useful system. Last year the same application
ran satisfactorily on Win 7 and Access 10.
I would welcome some thoughts leading too a solution.

Hi,
Did you get the error message like "You are trying to open a read-only database". If yes, this issue may be due to the permission of the Access database. If we migrate the Access database from Access 2010 to Access 2013, the user/account's permission
may be changed with different Windows operation system. We need the full control permission of the Access database. To workaround this issue, follow these steps:
On the desktop, double-click My Computer.
Locate the Microsoft Access database that you moved.
Right-click the database name, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, clear the Read-only check box under
Attributes.
Click OK to apply the change.
Open your database in Access.
Please note: Make sure the user has full control of the root folder.
If no, please tell us the whole error message, we'd like to do further troubleshooting.

Sub reports access database multiple times

Hello,
I have a crystal report created with a main and 2 sub reports. The data source is a stored procedure. when ever I ran/refresh the report it access the database 3 times(first for main report and 2 times for 2 sub reports).
There is a big single query been executed and stored procedure returns the result. Even though the result set is same the report should not access database multiple times.
Is there any options or properties I have to select or missing. Is there any solution to resolve this connectivity issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Each report will each have their own separate connection to the database. In your case it will create 3 connection: one for the main report and one for each of the subreports. If you use sureports, there's no way around this.
Also take into account where the subreports are on the main report. If you have them in the detail or group sections the subreports will generate a new instance each time it runs. So you may have not 3 connections but one for each record or group in the report.
I've had to design similar reports and needed to do it without subreports. I wrote a stored procedure that generated two sets of records: detail and summary. I grouped the data on the report based on their record type (Detail or Summary). I found this also made the report faster.
Good luck,
Brian

Multiple columns in migrating MS Access

Migration workbench Access 97 -> Oracle 8.1.6
During capture of source data, multiple columns are generated for each table. In fact, columns of one table are duplicated on all others tables ==> building of Oracle model hangs for violation of unique constraint.
Thanks for your help to fix it.

Link dropdown choice to multiple text fields from access database

Is there anyway to link the choice of a dropdown field so it populates other text fields?
Example:
I have created a Data Connection from a MS Access Database for a drop down list which is CompanyName. When I choose the company name I would like it to populate First Name, Last Name, Email, Adress, etc. Does this require a significant amount of code to do...and if so does anyone have a good book suggestion to learn the code for something like this?
Any help in solving this problem is greatly appreciate. I have searched everywhere and found no conclusive answer. Or maybe I am just searching in the wrong place? Thanks for your help.

You will have to make another data connection and create a SQL call to the DB that will incorporate the selection made in the DDList. This will involve code. There is a sample wriiten by Stefan Cameron at this location:

DW Procedures to connect to MS ACCESS database located on remote server

I am confused about the procedures within Dreamweaver CS3 to connect to a MS ACCESS database on a remoter server.
I am working through a tutorial book, "Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, Cold Fusion and PHP Training from the Source", but the instructions are unclear concerning the procedures to connect to a MS ACCESS database located on a remote server.
The book indicates that the server administration has to create the DSN for you and screen shots indicate that you will result in a list of DSNs to choose from when creating the connections .asp file.
I went through the procedures to create a connections .asp and resulting in a connection without and tables (of course) because I do not initially have any connection information from my remote site.
I have generated the required two lines of code as follows for my MS ACCESS database connection on my remote server:
'Database connection info and provider
strCon="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="&_
Server.MapPath("database\trans.mdb") & ";" &_
"User ID=xxx;Password=xxxxx"
The question that I have is:
How does this connection coding relate to the "connections/conn_newland.asp" file that was create within the Dreamweaver screens? How do I merge the ASP coding? The file (/connections/conn_newland.asp) generated within Dreamweaver is as follows:
<%
'FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
'Type="ADO"
'DesignationType="ADO"
'HTTP="true"
'Catelog=" "
'Schema
Dim MM_conn_newland_STRING
MM_conn_newland_STRINT = "dsn=newland;"
%>
Any advice would be appreciated. I know that this is simple but debugging an error from an ASP coding merge would be a "bear" to debug!

I have not used MS Access myself (fortunately) but I believe it works much like the old, old way of achieving a multi-user database in FileMaker.
That is, it is not a true client-server database but more a peer-to-peer database and that each peer opens the same database file which is available to multiple user via file sharing. Therefore as elikness said it should just be a matter of putting the files on your Lion Server and then sharing that folder/volume using SMB sharing.
However one thing to be aware of, since MS Access is not a true client-server database I would imagine it uses record locking to manage simultaneous direct access to records in the same files. File or Record locking is something that has historically been a bit flakey when using Windows clients with a Mac file server (and probably vice versa).
While I am not proposing it as a solution to consider seriously, it is worth you knowing that FileMaker Pro is a database system that is available for both Mac and Windows and depending on how you configure things can be considered to stretch from a configuration very similar to MS Access at the low end all the way to a high-end MS SQL Server style setup at the top end. See http://www.filemaker.com for details.
There is also a a third-party tool available for migrating databases to or from FileMaker Pro and it can convert MS Access databases to FileMaker Pro see http://www.fmpromigrator.com/
You could use FileMaker Pro just on Windows machines if you wish.
