Migrating schemas - Different tablespace names on source and destination

Hi,
I am migrating database schemas with exp/imp from 8i on Solaris to 9i on Linux and also from one 9i on Linux to another 9i on another Linux machine.
The tablespaces and schemas (empty) already exist in the destination, so the schemas now need to be filled using imp. However, the default tablespace of the schemas have a different name in the source than in the destination. Is this going to cause errors during the import?
Thanks.

Not at all, i think. Just verify that the source tablespace is not present in the destination database. If you have a tablespace with the same name like the source, put the user quota to zero, so imp will switch to the default tablespace.

Dbms_lob.getlength() returns different source and destination lengths

I am fairly new to PL/SQL so maybe this is an obvious problem but here goes. I am updating a clob field with a text file ~5KB in size. The field updates fine (as far as I can tell). Before I update the field, I open the source file as a bfile and then inquire the length using dbms_lob.getlength(). I then update the clob field using dbms_lob.loadclobfromfile(). This seems to work fine. However, when I use dbms_lob.getlength() on the destination object returned by dbms_lob.loadclobfromfile(), I get a length 3 characters less than then the source object (5072 vs 5075). Both the source and destination offsets are set to 1.
Probing on what documentation I could find, I found this at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_lob.htm#i998484:
"The length returned for a BFILE includes the EOF, if it exists. Any 0-byte or space filler in the LOB caused by previous ERASE or WRITE operations is also included in the length count. The length of an empty internal LOB is 0."
I did not create the source file and I believe it is a Unix type file (because of the lack of CRs) and I am running on Windows 7. I am also using 11g Express. Could the use of a Unix-type file for a CLOB on a Windows system be causing this character count difference?
Once I found this issue I can work around it. I just want to understand what is going on.
Thanks to all who look at this.

The EOF and the LF versus CR/LF could influence the count difference, yes.
Another explain could possibly be character set conversions. The BFILE I believe counts bytes, a CLOB would count "characters" - so if the source happens to contain a few multibyte characters (UTF), then the byte count would be larger than the character count.
To help you find the cause for your exact file, then I can suggest a couple of things you might do to explore the issue:
<li>Load the file into a BLOB instead of a CLOB and see what getlength() returns for the BLOB. BLOBs would also do byte counts and not try to treat the source as text.
<li>Save the CLOB back into the filesystem and compare the original file with the exported CLOB and check the differences with some filecompare tool.

Dynamic source and destination tables

Hi all
I've got to import 142 tables from csv into SQL 2008 on a regular basis.
I was looking at building a 142-part SSIS package to do this, then thought there must be a dynamic way of doing it.
Is there any way of dynamically changing the source and and destination tables?
The csv filenames will remain identical, the SQL tables will be the same names but with "_Staging" at the end of them (e.g. SRSection.csv will always go into SRSection_Staging).
I can then write MERGE statements to update the main tables from the staging data.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I get the the feeling I would need a FOREACH LOOP container but I'd really aprreciate a step-by-step guide if you can.

Please check this :- http://sql-bi-dev.blogspot.com/2010/07/dynamic-database-connection-using-ssis.html
STEP1:
To begin, Create two tables as shown below in on of the environment:
-- Table to store list of Sources
CREATE TABLE SourceList (
   ID [smallint],
   ServerName [varchar](128),
   DatabaseName [varchar](128),
   TableName [varchar](128),
   ConnString [nvarchar](255)
GO
-- Local Table to store Results
CREATE TABLE Results(
   TableName [varchar](128),
   ConnString [nvarchar](255),
   RecordCount[int],
   ActionTime [datetime]
GO
STEP 2:
Insert all connection strings in SourceList table using below script:
INSERT INTO SourceList
SELECT 1 ID,
'(local)' ServerName,
--Define required Server
'TestHN' DatabaseName,--Define DB Name
'TestTable' TableName,
'Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=TestHN;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;' ConnString
Insert as many connections as you want.
STEP 3:
Add new package in your project and rename it with ForEachLoopMultipleServers.dtsx. Add following variable:
Variable
Type
Value
Purpose
ConnString
String
Data Source=(local);
Initial Catalog=TestHN;
Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;
Integrated Security=SSPI;
Auto Translate=False;
To store default connection string
Query
String
SELECT '' TableName,
N'' ConnString,
0 RecordCount,
GETDATE() ActionTime
Default SQL Query string.
This can be modified at runtime based on other variables
SourceList
Object
System.Object
To store the list of connection strings
SourceTable
String
Any Table Name.
It can be blank.
To store the table name of current connection string.
This table will be queried at run time
STEP 4:
Create two connection managers as shown below:
Local.TestHN: For local database which has table SourceList. Also this will be used to store the result in Results table.
DynamicConnection: This connection will be used for setting up dynamic connection with multiple servers.
Now click on DynamicConnection in connection manager and click on ellipse to set up dynamic connection string. Map connection String with variable
User::ConnString.
STEP 5:
Drag and drop Execute SQL Task and rename with "Execute SQL Task - Get List of Connection Strings". Now click on properties and set following values as shown in snapshot:
Result Set: Full Result Set
Connection: Local.TestHN
ConnectionType: Direct Input
SQL Statement: SELECT ConnString,TableName FROM SourceList
Now click on Result Set to store the result of SQL Task in variable User::SourceList.
STEP 6:
Drag and drop ForEach Loop container from toolbox and rename with "Foreach Loop Container - DB Tables". Double click on ForEach Loop container to open Foreach Loop Editor. Click on Collection and select
Foreach ADO Enumerator as Enumerator. In Enumerator configuration, select User::SourceList as ADO object source variable as shown below:
STEP 7: Drag and drop Script Task inside ForEach Loop container and double click on it to open Script Task Editor. Select
User::ConnString,User::SourceTable as
ReadOnlyVariables and User::Query as
ReadWriteVariables. Now click on Edit Script button and write following code in Main function:
public void Main()
try
String Table = Dts.Variables["User::SourceTable"].Value.ToString();
String ConnString = Dts.Variables["User::ConnString"].Value.ToString();
MessageBox.Show("SourceTable = " + Table +
"\nCurrentConnString = " + ConnString);
//SELECT '' TableName,N'' ConnString,0 RecordCount,GETDATE() ActionTime
string SQL = "SELECT '" + Table +
"' AS TableName, N'" + ConnString +
"' AS ConnString, COUNT (*) AS RecordCount, GETDATE() AS ActionTime FROM " + Dts.Variables["User::SourceTable"].Value.ToString() +
" (NOLOCK)";
      Dts.Variables["User::Query"].Value = SQL;
      Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
catch (Exception e)
      Dts.Log(e.Message, 0,
null);
STEP 8:
Drag and drop Data Flow Task and double click on it to open Data Flow tab. Add OLE DB Source and Destination. Double click on OLE DB Source to configure the properties. Select
DynamicConnection as OLE DB connection manager and
SQL command from variable as Data access mode. Select variable name as User::Query. Now click on
columns to genertae meta data.
Double click on OLE DB Destination to configure the properties. Select Local.TestHN as
OLE DB connection manager and Table or view - fast load as
Data access mode. Select [dbo].[Results] as Name of the table or the view. now click on
Mappings to map the columns from source. Click OK and save changes.
Finally DFT will look like below snapshot:
STEP 9: We are done with package development and its time to test the package.
Right click on the package in Solution Explorer and select execute. The message box will display you the current connection string.
Once you click OK, it will execute Data Flow Task and load the record count in Results table. This will be iterative process untill all the connection are done. Finally package will execute successfully.
You can check the data in results table:
Here is the result:
SELECT *
FROM SourceList
SELECT *
FROM Results

How to keep sort order in Shuttle item's source and destination boxes?

I have defined a shuttle item on a page and the list of values in the source box is populated by a SQL with sort order specified. In the Settings of the shuttle item, Show Controls value is set to Moving Only instead of All. When a user moves selected values from the source box to the destination box or vice versa, the list of values does not maintain the original sort order. For example, if I have 26 values A through Z, a user can put value Z before A in the destination box. And when a user move A from the destination box to the source box, A is the last item in the source box. The reset button clears everything in the destination box and resets the source box to the original sorted list. This is not the solution that I am looking for. I would like to see the items in the source and destination boxes to maintain their original sort order all the time.
Is it possible?

Could nt complete your request because source and destination files are the same

Hi, thank you for reading.
I'm having this problem and it's driving me nuts.
I'm actually following a tutorial that you can check out here: http://nightshifted.tumblr.com/post/2559360661/tutorial-paused-animations
basically I'm trying to do a animated gif with canvas (I'm sorry if my english is not so great). when I try to drag the layers into the canvas (step 2 of the tutorial), I get the error: "could not complete your request because source and destination are the same".
can anybody help me? I have both CS3 and CS5 and they the error appears in both.
thank you in advanced

I think they mean select the layers and frames and using the move tool, drag
inside the document (click inside the document window and drag) to move the
selected layers to the top half (transparent area), not to drag the layers from
the layers palette into the document, which would give that error.

I have recently opened a new account with Itunes.I want to download my previous music purchases to my new account which has a different computer name, email address and Apple ID. My credit card details remain the same. Please HELP.

How can I restore my old account music purchases which I closed, to my new current account which has a new computer name, email address and Apple ID? The credit card details remain unchanged, so would this act as a tracking device for Apple to locate my substantial past purchases?

Why would you start another account?
You cannot transfer purchases to another account.

Setting up a project where source and destination are different formats

Howdy...
I'm a recent Vegas user who is just switching over to FCP6.
My question is this: When your source footage and destination format are two unrelated formats (for instance, HDV for source footage, Apple-TV H264 for destination), is it better to set up the project for your source footage format, or for your destination format?
In Vegas it didn't really matter, but it was good to use the destination format because you could preview what it'd look like at the size and frame-rate that you were going to end up in.
In FCP6, however, it seems that importing HDV into a H264 project may not work as well, becuase it wants to render the footage into the correct format before you can preview it.
FYI: The final desitnation is my gadget podcast, http://www.neo-fight.tv, which I have shot on HDV and edited on Vegas for the past year. FCP is very new to me, but I'm enjoying learning something new.
Let me know your thoughts...
Best,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin - Prior to fcs 2 I worked in whatever my capture format was and will still continue to do that. I plan to use ProRes now - but if I was coming from an hdv source I'd prolly opt to capture using DVCPro HD and working in that.
"In FCP6, however, it seems that importing HDV into a H264 project may not work as well, becuase it wants to render the footage into the correct format before you can preview it."
As far as working in .h264 is concerned and combining other formats into that I really don't know.
h264 for me is a delivery format - so I'd opt to still work in native capture format and then transcode/convert at the end. More options ....

SQL Server replication and size differences of source and destination databases

I set up snapshot replication for a DB between two SQL instances. On the source instance, the DB shows as 106612.56MB with 34663.75MB as available free space. I expected that the replica would then end up being 71948.81MB (106612.56 - 34663.75
because it wouldn't replicate the white space). The resultant replica database is showing as 35522.94MB. The required data appears to be present in the replicated DB as the SSRS reports that use it are able to find the data they look for. But
why the large discrepancy in size between the source and replicated DB? The replicated DB is less than 1/2 the size of the source DB. I've searched around and can't seem to find any explanation. I realize this isn't mirroring so the DBs will
not be identical in size but I did not expect to see such a large difference between the two. I am replicating all almost all articles (tables, stored procs, etc.) with the exception of a handful of stored procedures and user-defined functions that either
reference invalid column names in a table (vendor bug) or reference another DB that is not present on the replica's instance. I would expect these 4-5 articles can not account for a 37000 MB size difference between the two DBs.
Please note that this has nothing to do with transaction log size. I am specifically talking about the database size and am not looking at the size that combines both DB and TxLog size.
Any insight?

Another factor could be that on the publisher the data is distributed through pages, paragraphs and extents. Depending on your fill factor and the amount of deletes and your datatype, there could be space in the pages, paragraphs and extents which have not
been reclaimed.
During the bcp process which is part of the snapshot application process on the subscriber all the data will be in the tables in a contiguous fashion. I would suspect this would be why you have the difference in space usage.

Source and destination clarification needed

Hi Guys,
We are using SRM as an add-on component to ECC 6.0. We are on SRM Server 5.5. In the defination of backend system SAP asked us to create 4 entries.
1. ONECLNTERP : RFC tick is on
2. ONECLNTEBP:
3. ONECLNTSUS:
4. XXXCLNTYYY: Local tick is on.
So this means 'ONECLNTERP' is my backend system i.e. ECC 6.0 and 'XXXCLNTYYY' is my local system.
Now while defining backend system for Product category there is one 'Source System and there is 'Target system'. Source System: System from which master data is replicated. So this should be my SRM system (as Product category is a part of SRM) or this should be ECC (as My product categories are copy of material group from ECC).
Target system is the system into which follow-on document of SC is transfered i.e. Backend ECC system.
Am I correct to say the above. I'm confused about which system is source and which system is destination.
While defining the Account Assignement category and defining the PR document type I'm facing the same problem as I've to define the source system.
Can anybody clarify me??
Thanks
Debashish

Hello Deb,
I have not worked on ECC 6.0.
But logically speaking the
source system - has to be yr ECC as SRM would be taking the ref of matl masters from there only
Target system - would be yr same ECC again if you are using only one backend (and I think you are)
(if you are using multiple backend and you want followon document in diff backend then here the SID of that backend would come)

Can rman restore tablespace to a different tablespace name?

Hi all,
I was wondering that can RMAN restore a tablespace to a different name tablespace in the same instance? I have the full backup by RMAN, I wonder I can do that or not? Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Rich,

Hi,
a tablespace is not necessarily a logical space to separate schema objects from one another (could be, but not necessarily, depends on your object distribution).
So what you need is: export your original user schema with the exp utility
then import this dump into another user schema with the imp tool (fromuser=old touser=new)
BEFORE you create the new user and you give it a different default tablespace. If you like to really separate the objects in tablespaces (like for transportable tablespaces) you may deny access to any of the tablespaces of old user to the new user. That makes sure data is not erroneously loaded in the old tablespaces.
Read the docs to understand this clearly if you like.

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

Virtual infoobjects: technical name in source and target systems

Hello Everybody,
actually I got a problem: I´ve created a virtual characteristic which is working fine on development system.
However after transporting to target system the BADI implementation containing the virtual infoobject dumps:
assign component 'Z____723' of structure cs_data to .
Is there any other way to avoid using these technical names 'Z____723' and use e.g. 0customer instead?
I would have expected, that the technical name for the virtual characteristic in my case 'Z____723' for 0customer will be the same in dev as in prod.
Thank You!

In my case I need to copy a Production Client (say 900) to a Test Client on a test machine (say client 700), what I came to know was that this is basically a client copy, but since the size of data involved is to the tune of 500GB +, it is System Copy.
Client Copy and System Copy are two different method to transfer the data and process are toatally different.
>> Also if on the present test machine I am to keep the present client 700 and if the resources permit, create a new client (say 800) and copy client 900 to it, is it a System Copy.
No. It will be client copy which is not possible as your Source/Target system are on different Support Pack level.
Or if I copy the client 900 to the existing client 700, is this a System Refresh ???
No. It will again a Client copy. You have confused between System Copy and Client Copy. I would suggest to to read first what is the difference between these two and the process to do that.
