Migrating Oracle 10.2.0.4 to another site

Hi Gurus,
I´ll need to migrate an ORACLE Database to Another site (1000 miles away) and i need to know, what's the best practice to do that.
I need to copy the entire database to a new server whith the minimum downtime and risk while the source database is open (if possible).
Source server and target are the same:
AIX 6.1 on Power 780.
Between the servers we have a 100mb network link
Database 10.2.0.4 - Single Instance
I have two options in my mind:
1) MIGRATE only the disks and mount them in the target server.
For me it's the easiest way, but i am afraid of the downtime, because the database have 1Tb and it's going to take some time to transfer it.
2) Use DUPLICATE DATABASE whith compressed backup. (Doubt)
My database is archivelog and i want to backup the database and it's archivelogs and execute the duplicate command.
My question is: After RMAN restore the backup and apply the archived log files who were backed up, does it apply the recent changes on database who weren't backed up?
Regards,

If you are like many sites, the compressed backup will be about a tenth the size of the db. So how long to transport 100G over 100mb link? About 12M/second is the best you could hope (depending on what else is between), so consider a minimum of 3 hours, and it could be ten times that. You'll need to test to find out. Another possibility is to cold copy onto a $500 2T usb drive and ship it over. You could also use rman that way, but you have to be careful to have the identical directory structure to put the backup sets into (if I'm not forgetting about some new feature, it's been a while since I've lacked network speed while doing this).
There's also a "dribble it over" way if you have time, take whatever time it takes to network the files over and setup a standby, then however much time it takes to catch the logs up, then a brief outage to switch. Depends on your uptime requirements.

    startup the database as is (on drive e:\) and issue :
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL>  create pfile from spfile;you can then locate the pfile under $ORACLE_HOME/database, the name of the pfile will be init<SID>.ora
    1. Copy the pfile to the new ORACLE_HOME on d:\
    2. Change the ORACLE_HOME using SET ORACLE_HOME=<NEW HOME ON D:\>, from cmd window.
    3. shutdown the instance.
    4. copy the datafiles to there new location on D:\ (including the control files)
    5. edit the PFILE and specify the new control files location (under D:\)
    5. startup exclusive mount pfile=<Point to current PFILE>
    4. Change datafiles names ;
    alter database rename file '<OLD FILE PATH>' to '<NEW FILE PATH>';You can find the current location of the datafiles using :

  • Migrate Oracle Users from one DB to another

    We are very new to Oracle app. Hope this is right forum to post this question:
    We have 200 users in one development environment (oracle application). Is there an automation (or nice easy) tool to move those users to production environment instead to create them one by one from Oracle App?
    Any document about it?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Use FNDLOAD to download and upload them. You can edit the file after the download to filter/make changes as required.
    Here is some code to do ALL USERS (note this also uploads responsibilities, but make sure all dependencies are there)
    # Download all users, user responsibilities, responsibilities
    FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct all_users.ldt FND_USER
    # Upload
    FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct all_users.ldtHere is code for just one user (OPERATIONS)
    # One user OPERATIONS
    FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct user_OPERATIONS.ldt FND_USER USER_NAME=OPERATIONS

  • Migrating Oracle 9i As Portal??

    Can I migrate Oracle 9i AS Portal from a computer to an another computer with hostname and domain differents?
    thanks
    null

    Yes, you can migrate the applications, content areas and pages (basically anything you build) with 9iAS Portal from one machine to another, provided that both machines are at the SAME version of Portal..
    For instance, both machines should be at release 3.0.8.9.8, for example. But in the current versions of Oracle9iAS Portal, you cannot import/export applications between DIFFERENT versions of 9iAS Portal i.e. 3.0.8 vs. 3.0.9, for instance.
    There is an overview white paper that describes this import/export process at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/iportal/pdf/export_import.pdf

    I think Werner is suggesting you ask your question in the appropriate forum.
    Go up 2 levels (to Community Discussion Forum) and look for the Database category. It's not that difficult to find, and you will be discussing the question with people who actually care about that kind of question.
    The people who read and interact in this forum do so to discuss Documentation questions. Specifically questions about how to improve the documentaiton.

  • Best Practice for Migration of BO  from one server to another

    Hi All,
               I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
    i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
    Thanks,
    Anendu Bothra
    Edited by: Anendu Bothra on Mar 5, 2009 10:24 AM

    You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
    Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
    Choose Copy, then click OK.
    Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
    Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
    its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
    Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
    specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
    password).
    When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
    Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
    I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

  • Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

    Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

    Hi Anoo,
    In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
    If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
    I hope this helps.

  • Complexities of Migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris to HP-UX Itanium

    Can anyone share their experiences with regards to migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris on a Sun platform to HP-UX 11i v3 (Itanium) on HP Integrity servers. We are trying to consider all the risks associated with such a move. How much time delay did you experience in resolving unexpected issues along the way? How complex is the process? If you had to do it all over again, would you?
    In addtion, we will also be migrating Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i (11.5.10.2).
    We appreciate your helpful feedback.
    Thank you.

    Here is more information:
    - the database size is currently about 500GB
    - our ASP allows us to be down as much as we want however the company's own needs can only allow a downtime window of two days (over the weekend)
    - i presume further that RMAN might be an option to use to backup the database and instance to some transportable media
    - it would take about four days to get that media from the ASP to our facility so durign that time the instance at the ASP would have to be used
    - after we get the backup media and load everything into our in-house site, our last step would be to find a way to migrate all changes over the WAN. I am told that unless the platforms are the same on both ends, mirroring will be extremely difficult or impossible. If we have a platform that is different from the ASP platform, then the migration of all changes will require conversion and other mechanisms. I am told that HP-UX has so much complexities that this will be a daunting task to accomplish.
    Do you have any opinions and recommnedations?

    ... so "Install the latest available Critical Patch Update" step is that for the Oracle 10g database Oracle Home or Oracle 9i database Oracle Home ? I think that is for the 10g database/ Oracle Home ...
    after applying the CPU pacht there is some "Post Installation Instructions":
    3.3.5 Post Installation Instructions which demande a connection to the database:
    3. For each database instance running out of the ORACLE_HOME being patched, connect to the database using SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and run catcpu.sql as follows:
    cd %ORACLE_HOME%\CPU\CPUJan2007
    sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    SQL> STARTUP
    SQL> @catcpu.sql
    SQL> QUIT
    My question is ... If I want to upgrade a 9i database to 10g and I apply this CPU before the upgrade is done (to 10g Oracle Home), how could I connect to an instance which is not present to run this script ? ... is this step mandatory or is optional ?
    Thanks,
    P.

    Hi,
    how can I Migrate oracle 9i DB to 10g R2. ?What is the size of your database?
    If your db size is small then you can use export/import.

  • Migrating Oracle Discoverer Workbooks to OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    Can you tell me how can we migrate Oracle Discoverer workbooks in to OBIEE 11g , I have heard that there is a tool which is released in last summer for this migration can anyone provide me details on this one.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hello
    I'm afraid Oracle has had no success in converting Discoverer workbooks into OBIEE. It is still on the radar but as yet they have nothing.
    For some of my clients this is a huge setback. I have a client who has more than 32,000 Discoverer workbooks and adding more at the rate of about 5,000 a year. Obviously a customer of this size is a potential customer for OBIEE. The only thing they can do right now is to rewrite all of the reports.
    To do this would be a mammoth task and I did some mathematics for them. Let's say you can rewrite one report every 15 minutes, allowing for testing and parallel runs. Thus you could convert 4 in an hour or 32 in a full day. Diviiding 32 into 32,000 means they would need to allocate 1,000 man days to the task. Bearing in mind that on average a person works about 220 days in a year and you are looking at around 5 man years, not including potentially 1000s of new Discoverer workbooks that have been created in that time. Needless to say my client is not happy with Oracle and refuse to go down this path sticking with Discoverer.
    I know for a fact this company is not alone and I personally implore Oracle to allocate resources to correctly converting Discoverer workbooks. I know part of the problem is that there are things that Discoverer takes in its stride which OBIEE either cannot do or has great difficulty with. Until OBIEE can do everything Discoverer can do I don't see how customers can convert.
    Thoughts anyone?

  • Migration Oracle 8.17 from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10

    Is it possible to migrate Oracle 8.1.7 from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10? I find out the papers or the practices from internet that were done before. Do you have any documents said that or gurantee success?

    Perhaps contact Oracle.
    http://www.oracle.com
    Maybe they will know how to make version 8.1.7 work with newer
    distributions of various OS's.
    After all, it is their product, not Sun's product.
