Migrating Oracle DB from OpenVMS to a Unix Platform

Hello all;
Wanted to find out if you have experience or info on any tools that assist in migrating a 24X7 OracleDB from an OpenVMS to a Unix platform. We have looked into the basic export and import but since the environment is OLTP-downtime is a concern. The DB is about 2TB of raw data.
Thank you

Something in writing from someone authorized by Oracle -- e.g. someone in Licence Sales -- would stand in a court of law.
Nevertheless, if you want "different inputs" from here :
Oracle licences by the number of cores. Off hand, since the number of cores is different, the licence count is not the same. However, Oracle also has "core scaling factors" (called Oracle Processor Core Factor Table) for different types of CPUs. You should see the Software Investment Guide at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/index.html and Oracle Database Licensing under Specialty Topics from the same URL.

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?

Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have another question too.
Can someone pls provide me the Considerations for Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005 platform?
More specifically from Oracle to SQL 2005.
Regards
Abhi

Hello
You need to perform an OSDB migration.
This will involve exporting your SAP system into a DB neutral format and then reloading this into an SQL 2005 SAP system.
Please review http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
I recommend you review the homo/heterogeneous system copy guide for your SAP release.
Thanks

Sandeep,
Yes, I think your command format is not correct.
Try the one that Rod posted.
About the note on metalink. It seems that it is under review.
Here is the basics of the note:
1. Determine the owner of the workbook. Say UserA.
2. Open an sqlplus session to the database.
3. Run the following sql:
SQL> set heading off
SQL> set feedback off
SQL> set echo off
4. Now spool the result of the following sql to a file.
SQL> spool c:\exp.bat
5. Run the sql statement
NOTE: CHANGE DISCOE_HOME
SQL>select '<Disco_Home>\discvr4\dis4adm /connect
EUL_owner_name/passwd@connect_string /export c:\'||rownum||'.eex /workbook "'||
doc_created_by||'.'||doc_name||'"' from

EUL4_EUL_USERS.EU_ID(+) = EUL4_ACCESS_PRIVS.AP_EU_ID )
where doc_created_by='UserA'
where,
Disco_Home is the Location or Discoverer 4 Home.
4. SQL> spool off
5. SQL> set feedback on
6. Now run the batch command file (exp.bat)

Migrate Oracle DB from windows to Unix

Hi,
our production db is 9.2.0.1 running under windows having 30 GB DB size.
as per client requirement, we are going to migrate this db to Unix( HP-UX 11.23) Platform with 9.2.0.7 version. we will use export and import for the same.
can you please share your experience of this type of migration?
any precautions that i need to take care of while migration?
thank you very much in advance.

Hello,
Here is the best way you can do that without breaking anything and you are in business and not need to compile. You might have to manually resolve any privs issues (db-links, roles before startign the import on target database).
exp system/manager owner=user1,user2,user3,user4,user5,... file=mynonadminusers.dmp log=myexport.logNow if you have already created all teh uses only and tablespace (it will create in default tablespace if ts doesn't exists)
imp system/password fromuser=user1,user2,user3,user4,..... touser=user1,user2,user3,user4,.... file=mynonadminusers.dmp log=myimport.logRegards

Migration Oracle db from solaris to aix

Hi,
I would like to ask you for a best way how to do..
We have a large international Oracle migration effort from Solaris to AIX. We have some challenges where a standard export/import will not work due to the extended distance between sites. As an example we are migrating from Japan to Texas.
What is the best tool to use?
I looked around and I found Oracle Golden Gate.
do you have any other idea?
Thank you,
Regards,
Tom

I dont have more info about the project but there will databases (maybe 500) with different sizes (x MB - x TB) and there could be single and RAC.
I am looking for any tool/utility where I will be able to prepare migration document which could be used as baseline for migration all of them.I do not think it will be possible to use one approach for all DBs in your case. You should split DBs into groups you may use different approaches.
Among 500 DBs will be:
a) databases with "low availability" requirements where long downtime is possible. so you can stop app, take an export, import into remote db, re-target app to new db.
b) databases where only short downtime is possible. then you can use DataGuard or some replication technologies (OGG, Shareplex, DataCurrents) to make "final sync".
c) databases with "high availability" requirements where NO downtime is possible. Here you can use some replication technologies (i.e. DataCurrents and may be others can do it). First you copy data to remote DB and "remember" SCN you got the source dump, then you keep replicating all changes starting from this SCN. As soon as remote DB becomes in sync, you quickly switch the app to new DB.
But I never did migration accross states (more than 1000 miles).Distance does not matter. You should have good bandwidth network connection between sites.

Migration oracle database from 1 drive to anothe drive

dear gurus,
hello to all
i have encounter one of the issue that i am trying to find solution but upto now i cant find it.
we have 1 of the machine oracle 10gR2 using on windows 2003 machine. where we have c,d,e drive. e is belong to san drive.

d:\oracle\product\10.2.0
how we can do it, can someone provide oracle guidline, tips articles.
we will be highly appreciating.
thanks regards

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 :
select name from v$datafile;Oded

Migrating Oracle Apps from 11.5.5 on Windows 2000 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2003

Currently we are running Oracle Applications 11.5.5 on Windows 2000 Server. We want to migrate to faster machines running Windows 2003 Server.
11.5.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. We will need to upgrate to at least 11.5.8.
Can you please suggest what is the best way to do this:
1- Upgrade 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2000
2- Install 11.5.8 on Windows 2003 Server. (Where would I get 11.5.8 from? Does Oracle ship older versions? I have CDs for 11.5.5 only).
3- Export/import the database
4- Move the customazitions over
1- Install 11.5.5 on Windows 2003 Server. (11.5.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. Can we temporarily install it still; and upgrade it soon to 11.5.8?)
2- Uprade 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2003 Server.
3- Export/import the database
4- Move the customazitions over
Thanks in advance.
Earliest attention is appreciated.

Migrating oracle 9i from Fail safe to Oracle RAC

We are planning to migrate our Oracle 9i database from Fail safe to Oracle RAC. Does anybody has any experience to share? Where can I find the documentation about this?
Regards
Tariq

FailSafe Cluster and RAC are completely different architectures, there's no direct migration path. Export the 9i database and import into a fresh RAC database.
At the same time move to 11gR2.

Migrating Oracle 11g from 32b to 64b

I figured I could use rman to do a full backup, including the archive files, control file, and SPFILE, and datafiles of the 32 bit version, and restore to a 64 bit OS.
But will that work? Are there docs on how to restore 32b backups to a 64b environment?

Hi
This procedure is for single instance or RAC:
In the 32 bit source server :
Make a full backup of database including all archivelogs
RMAN> run
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
backup database plus archivelog;
backup current controlfile;
} To do on the target 64 bit server:
1) Copy backup files from source server
2) Create the pfile or copy the pfile fromsourceserver
3) Startup nomount the new instance.
4) Connect to rman and set the dbid:
$ rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> set dbid=<dbid from 32 server>; 5) Restore the controlfile:
RMAN> restore controlfile from '/disk1/backup_32/backup_piece_name';
RMAN> alter database mount;
RMAN> restore database; 6) Identify the archivelog till you want to do the recovery and check if you have all the backups you need to do it, and run:
RMAN> run
set until sequence xxxx;
recover database;
RMAN> exit 7) Now Migrating to 64 bit:
SQL> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
cancel
SQL> alter database open resetlogs migrate;
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> startup Also please take a look in other methods in the following Metalink Note:

You need to have a look at one of the main db groups for that. I reckon you could do transportable tablespaces as long as there are no endian problems......

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
# One user OPERATIONS
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct user_OPERATIONS.ldtRegards,

Migration BIEE repository from Windows to Unix

Hi,
has someone experience with migrating repository objects from a windows to Unix environment or vice versa? Are there any problems (different XML generated etc.)?
Background: We are developing in a Windows environment but later we want to move to Unix. Until now no Unix server is available.
Thanks,
Marcus

How is it at the GiantEagle (worked in Cranberry last year)?
How exactly do you do a short-deck migration/promotion to UAT or PROD? How do you ensure that changes in the DAC make it into the UAT/PROD without killing the existing objects?
Currently we have 3 env, DEV/INT/UAT/PROD and we're trying to write a policy manual to ensure that what goes on in DEV gets all the way into PROD without damaging INT, UAT or PROD.
