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

Migration SAP-System from 32bit-server to 64bit- server

We want to change our SAP SOLMAN EHP1-system , which running
on LINUX SLES9 32bit ( with MAXDB 7.7 ) to a new target server with LINUX SLES10 64bit ( as well MAXDB 7.7 ).
We have also the same OS Linux but differents releases.
My question: Can I perform this change with the tool "homogene
Systemcopy" or is there any other solution for this problem ??

A Solution Manager is a combined ABAP + Java system. You can do a database copy approach but you must use sapinst to migrate the Java part (it's all included in sapinst).
Keep in mind that your JDK changes, for 32bit Linux you must use the Sun JDK, for x86_64 you must use the IBM JDK. The migration may fail on initial attempt since the parameter for the Sun JDK are different to those for the IBM JDK. You'd then have to adapt the parameters using configtool before you can continue.
Apart from that it should be smooth.

Migration on Production from Development

Hi,
I have no idea about migration from development to production. First time I'll be doing this on my own.
Could you please guide me on this.
Development Environment is as:
HFM - 11.1.2.1
EAL - 11.1.1.4
Essbase - 11.1.2.1
OBIEE - 11.1.1.7
HFM is already there at client side. We installed OBIEE, Weblogic, Essbase, EAL.
OBIEE will be taken care of by OBIEE team. I have to look into Essbase/EAL part. We already have 2 HFM applications. Then we created 2 Essbase cubes via EAL from HFM. Then we created one more cube in Essbase and merged it with those 2 EAL generated cubes.
We have transparent partitioning with merged cube as target and 2 cubes as sources. We have formulas on some members in Essbase cubes. We have MAXL scripts to automate creation of some new members and loading of formulas in Essbase cubes.
OBIEE reporting is done on final merged Essbase cube.
So if I am asked to migrate Essbase/EAL on production server, looking at this scenario, please guide me step by step.
I think development and production server architecture are different in terms of no. of servers etc. I am not into installation/technical stuff. So while migrating Essbase/EAL components, such technical parameters will also come into picture ?
Thanks,
RS

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.

Using UWL from a non sap system

We are intgerating OTM (Oracle transportation management system) with SAP.
We need to have a single point where the users track all their norifications.
Is it possible to add notifications (task or error) into sap UWL from a non sap system.
If yes what are the main steps to do it?
Which set up must be done in SAP UWL to manage this?
Thanks in advance

Do some searches about "UWL custom connector" or "UWL custom connector API". You should find pretty good documentation about this subject.

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?

Related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g

We're trying to migrate a Sql server managment studio database to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 4.0. We can successfully connect to both Sql server managment studion 8.0 and Oracle 11g using the tool, as well as click through the Migration Wizard and start the migration.
This opens the Database Migration dialog box, which indicates the capture process starts normally. we get the following error:
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column) ,
\and then after some time , i get an error that migration failed
i am not getting the reason,I thing it may be due to reason that , I have table's column in my source db with more than 30 character.
If i am migrating one by one table . then it is not giving any error, and identifier name is getting shrink in 30 character. but i am not getting the view , stored procedure , indexes , and others
then what is the solution for that, somebody pls suggest any help?????????????

The error message is explicitly clear

Your process is trying to insert a NULL value into the ID column, which presumably cannot be NULL

How can i Migrate a database from DB2 to SQL Server 2008r2.

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me letting me know the process for migrating the database from DB2 to SQL Server.
1) Is there any way to migrate a database from DB2 to SqlServer. (My assumption is we can not migrate database, if wrong correct me gurus).
2) Or we can only transfer data from that DB2 database to SQL Server (Using SSIS packages).
Please help me knowing the process to migrate the data from DB2 server to MSSQL server. Even am reading the documents available in the web.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft provide a migration assistant for DB2 to SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45296
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from DB2 to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and
SQL statement conversion and data migration.
Hope that helps

Migrating a table from SQL server 2005 to oracle 9i

Hi
I need to migrate a table from SQL server to oracle, both of which are on different machines, I tried using SQL server DTS export functionality selected the Oracle driver, created a DSN, but it gave error message box as shown below
Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
"ORA 12560 :TNS protocol adapter error"
Context:Error During initialization of the provider
While i was successfully able to migrate the table from SQL SERVER to MS-ACCESS and from MS ACCESS to Oracle
thanks
abhishek

Hi
thanks warren, i just figured out that the DSN i had created while migrating data from Access to oracle was User DSN, i just created a system DSN of the similar kind and was successfully able to export the data from SQL server to oracle, the only problem being the column names in SQL server are longer than the limit of 30 characters we have in ORACLE..

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.

Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

Hope this helps.

Migrating an existing Plugin RCP Product from one server to another

Hello,
I'm looking to migrate an existing RCP product from a desktop to a server. I did a straight zip of the product directory from the source machine, unzipped it on target and copied the config files over.
When I execute the product, the splash screen launches but then the product crashes with the error message:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2015-07-27 17:00:00.720
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
I added the -consoleLog option to the runtime config file but there is no other information. The original developer is no longer with the company and we dont have the source code of the product either.
SO my question is:
Are these products not portable across machines by a straight copy?
Do we need to rebuild it from source (if we do end up locating it)
Is there anything apparent that I am missing?
Any help in this regard will greatly be appreciated since this is a major roadblock for our migration efforts.
Thanks so much in advance,
valli

SharePoint 2013 : Migration of customization from development server to production server

Dear all,
I have the following scenario and servers:
1. Development Server; (Server where our developers would develop our dms and/or enhancement based on change request)
2. Test Server; (Test server where our users will test the system (dms) and/or enhancement requested)
3. Production Server (Our production server where only our end users will have access , developers wont have access to this env.)
My question is how to migrate our changes from development server to test server and finally to production server?
Is there a mechanism/ guide /best practice approach for this?
Any help/guide would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks & regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for posting your issue, Moving stuff from environment to environment will depending on your stuff;
Content, like list items and documents, can't be easily moved. They can be moved with 3rd party solutions, or custom code. You can do it with a C# solution or even using PowerShell.
Stuff like lists, libraries, master pages, CSS, etc. should be packaged in a solution file, either sand box or farm solution. This solution file can contain all of the assets you require, and then it can be deployed into a new environment, which then provisions
all the stuff you need (it could also load up test/sample data if needed)
Another nice solution, if you're working with a brand new site, is to back it up and restore it into another environment. That helps get the bulk of the stuff copied over, and then you can use one of the above methods for continuing updates.
Also, check out below mentioned URL to move content from on environment to another environment

Migrate SQL 2005 from windows 2005 server to Windows 2008 R2 server

Hi all,
I need to move our SQL 2005 on a windows 2003 server to a new server with Windows 2008 R2 installed. Could someone show me what are the necessary steps I need to do?
Thank you.

Hey TR,
As per Microsoft recommendation, Before Installing new server try to run Upgrade Advisor and follow these steps
1. Take Full backups of all System and Application databases on your 2005 machine.
2. Script all logins --
3. Script all jobs
4. List out all Maintenance plans and their schedules -- You cant migrate so you have to create them manually
5. List out all Linked server(s) currently being used.
6. Check the service pack
7. Check the Edition
8. document the existing server settings so that it should match the same (collation,version,...)
Migration process
1. Migrate logins
2. Restore all App databases
3. Fix the orphan users
4. create the jobs
5. create maintenance plans
6. create Linked Servers
7. perform checkdb on all databases
8. rebuild indexes
9. update the statistics
10.move all the DTS / SSIS packages
11. Point the application to new server
12. Testing .... Change all the application connection string to new server and then start the testing then finally if everything looks good then you can down the sql 2000 server and start using new server.

Which is the best way to migrate the SQL SERVER 2000 Database to SQL SERVER 2003 Database?

Hi,
I need to migrate the Production database sql server 2000 to Sql server 2003, Please give me the best idea to migrate the database without any loss data, credentials and Objects.
Nandha Kumar

SQL server does not have any version named SQL server 2003 please check the version correctly it should be either SQL 2005,2008,2008 R2,2012
You can use the backup/restore to upgrade the SQL 2000 database to till SQL 2005,2008,2008R2
For SQL Server 2000 to 2012
First upgrade from SQL 2000 database to either SQL 2005, 2008 or 2008R2 and than upgrade it to SQL 2012.

And after migration to SQL 2005 or 2008, if you want to script the database than can generate scripts pick DB and check off "script all objects in the selected database".

You can upgrade from SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, and SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012.

Migrating all configuration from Crystal Reports Server XI R2 to Crystal Server 2013

Hi,
We're running an old Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP version (boe 11.5) and we're planning to start using Crystal Server 2013
As far as I know no upgrade is possible and that's not needed either.
Instead I'm interested in the migrate possibilities. I saw this thread but it doesn't answer all the questions https://scn.sap.com/thread/3462417
So first I will install Crystal Server 2013 on a new server and then I use some migrate tool.
Questions:
- does the migrate tool support migrating from my version CR server XI R2 SP1 to Crystal Server 2013 ?
- does the migrate tool copy all report schduling information (recurring schedule, destination etc)? We have ~1000 scheduled reports so doing manually is not an option
- does the migrate tool copy Business views/Business view connections ?
(- odbc data sources are probably not copied but that's ok)
-Mikael

Hi Mikael,
Since you're already on CR Server XI R2, you can use the Upgrade Management Tool to migrate all the content to CR Server 2013.
Anwers to your questions:
1) Yes, the Upgrade Management Tool does support this kind of migration
2) It does seem that the UMT allows you to move all report instances as well as the scheduled jobs over to the new server
3) I've always had issues with Business Views when using Import Wizard however I'm not sure whether they work well with the new UMT. In any case, I always prefer to export the LOVs and BVs from within the Business View Manager to a .xml file and then import them in the higher version of the Server, again, from within the Business View Manager.
