Migrating to 10g from Oracle 7

Hi all,
The company is planing to migrate to 10g from Oracle 7.
I have heard that it is impossible to migrate directly from 7 to 10g using dbua.
Is it possible using export/import. I have not worked on 7 or 10g.
Also how can we move from forms3 to forms 6i.
Thanks in Advance,
Sanju

As for Forms, read the documentation and view the tutorials on
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html
(especially 'Upgrade character mode Forms to the Web')
Also: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/264850.pdf
You will probably first have to upgrade to Forms 4.5, then to 6i.
Going from character mode to a graphical user interface is not so easy. You may consider a professional tool like the converter from Kumaran.

Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
Rgrds,
G.K

As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)

Launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle Applications Menu

Please provide steps to launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle applications menu.
Thanks in advance.
suresh

Hi,
Follow these steps....
The process is in 3 stages _(stage 1 will be done only once for all the reports)._
Stage 1:
Set the application discoverer relevant parameters.
Perform this stage only once.
1.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
1.2 Choose menu 'Profile' and then submenu 'System'.
1.3 Find the desired profile by filling 'Icx%Discoverer%' and press Find button.
1.4 Fill the fields (only the values) as described in the table of values bellow.
Parameter Value
ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix your eul name without the suffix (_US).
note that if you have several invs it can be diffrent between them.
ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override American English
ICX: Discoverer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer Release 10 or any other that you are using
ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer use Viewer Yes (or not if you want plus to open - but change the viewer to plus in the link as well - the previos parameter)
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 1 Ends.
Stage 2:
Build an oracle application function for each discoverer report.
Perform this stage for each report.
2.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
2.2 Choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Function'.
2.3 Fill needed values in each tab by the next instructions (function values)
2.3.1 Description tab – fill the function, function user name and the description. Notice that the function value should be without spaces.
2.3.2 Properties tab – fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Type with 'SSWA plsql function',
Maintenance Mode Support with 'None' (Default value),
Context Dependence with 'Responsibility' (Default value).
2.3.3 Form tab- fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Form & Application fields leave empty,
Parameters – there are two options available:
1st Leave it empty – will cause the function to open the discoverer all reports web page and user will have to choose a specific report from the list .
2nd Fill it with value '=workbook=name of the workbook' but without spaces, convert the spaces (if there are any) from the workbook name to + (plus) sign.
For example '=workbook=BI+SERVICE+Performance' represents the string for the 'BI SERVICE Performance' report.
Note: you can also send parameters to the report but since almost all the parameters have a default value (accept from dates) it's not necessary.
2.3.4 Web HTML tab – fill the HTML call with ' OracleOASIS.RunDiscoverer'.
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 2 Ends.
Stage 3:
Build an oracle application menu or submenu for each discoverer report that represented by the function you has created in stage 2.
Perform this stage for each pair - responsibility + report/function.
3.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
3.2 Choose menu 'Security' and then submenu 'Responsibility' and then submenu 'Define'.
3.3 Locate the needed menu by the responsibility that you want to enable her to use the report – of course that the report should be granted for the responsibility via discoverer mechanism as well.
Do it by clicking on the flashlight that located in the left upper corner and find the needed responsibility.
3.4 Find the needed responsibility and select her via next screen (Don't forget to use % as wildcards)-choose by double click on her
3.5 Copy the menu name that related to the responsibility you have choose from the menu field located in the next screen and close the window.
3.6 From the navigator screen choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Menu'.
3.7 Locate the menu that you've copied in 3.5 (with the flashlight and the find screen, double click on the menu name – similar to 3.3 and 3.4) via next screen.
3.8 Press on the 'add record' sign (+) that located in the right upper corner of the screen (Do it after the mouse sign and focus is in the rows as you can see the oval mark).
3.9 Fill the prompt with what you want the user to see in the menu that will activate the report link and after fill the user function name as you have build her in stage 2 (Don't forget to save it).
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 3 Ends.

Migration of data from Oracle to Sybase ASIQ

Hello !
I want to know , if there is any way to migrate the database from oracle 8i to sybase ASIQ ( Adaptive Server IQ 12.4). The database has 14 tables in which some tables have more than 3 lakh records. I have tried to convert the tables into tab delimited text files ( by using ADO Explorer software) and then load data in ASIQ ( Adaptive Server IQ 12.4) from these flat files. The process is working fine with tables which have less data. But for large tables ( with 3 lakh records) the ADO explorer hangs in between conversion. Is there any tool in Oracle which can migrate data from tables to tab delimited text files ?
or is there any tool which can directly migrate data from oracle 8i to Sybase ASIQ directly ?

Can you use Sybase Component Integration Services (CIS). Can you create the Oracle database as a remote database and then do selects against the Oracle tables directly into the Sybase tables. I am not sure if this is available in IQ server. If not then if you have a regular Sybase server could you do it through there somehow and then move the database from Sybase to IQ.

How to migrate a table from ORACLE 10g to 8i

have table named 'liuxg_tab_01' in 10g.
This morning I exported this table using 'exp' and then tried to imp it into 8i, I failed.
After a while, I created a database link named 'ctf' in 8i which connected to 10g. I issued 'create table test as selct * from liuxg_tab_01@ctf',it returns 'ORA-01723'.
Then I extraced the DDL of 'liuxg_tab_01' from 10g with QUEST TAOD, it's:
CREATE TABLE LIUXG_TAB_01
OWNER VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
SUBOBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OBJECT_ID NUMBER,
DATA_OBJECT_ID NUMBER,
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
CREATED DATE,
LAST_DDL_TIME DATE,
TIMESTAMP VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
STATUS VARCHAR2(7 BYTE),
TEMPORARY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
GENERATED VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
SECONDARY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
But I can not create a table using the upper DDL in 8i if I do not wipe off those "BYTES".
After creation of the table using the upper DDL without those 'BYTES', I sucessfully executed 'insert into LIUXG_TAB_01 select * from liuxg_tab_01@ctf'.
Anyone has a better method to move a table from ORACLE 10g to 8i?

1) The particular version of 8i and 10g in use here would be useful. I'm not sure that Oracle supports database links between any version of 8i and any version of 10g, though, so you're probably lucky that it worked as well as it did.
10g 10.1.0.3.0 and 8i 8.1.7.0.0
2) What version of the export utility did you use? You would need to use the 8i version to generate the dump file to have any chance of working, not the 10g verion.
I use the 'exp' provided with 10g 10.1.0.3.0 and 'imp' with 8i 8.1.7.0.0. I have tried to export data directly from 10g 10.1.0.3.0 using 'exp' provided with 8i 8.1.7.0.0. Failed.
3) Why? Since 8i is desupported, there isn't a lot of call for tools to move data from supported releases to unsupported releases.
We have an 8i DB which is still porivding insentive services. We just wanna migrate some tales from 10g to it.
FYI, NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS was introduced in 9i, so it's no suprise that 8i objected to the BYTE keyword in the DDL.
What's FYI :P
Another option would be to generate a CSV file of the data from 10g and use SQL*Loader to load it into 8i. Not sure this would be any easier, though.

Please contribute with your suggestions.
Looking forward for dem..

Migrate an schema from oracle 8i to 11g

Hello,
I am struggling to find all the requirement to upgrade one schema running on oracle db 8i installed on an sparc server non-global solaris 8 zone to a oracle 11g running on solaris 10 x86 non-global zone.
there are changes in architecture.
what I know is:
export using exp utiliy from oracle 8i
import in oracle 11g using exp utility of 11g if still available.
I only need to migrate two schemas respectively of 1gb and 2gb
here are the schemas and the sizes:
Total
Schema Schema Name Size (Mb)
CLAIMS 2851.07031
ARCCLAIMS 1290.9375
can you someone tell me what is the best way to perform this.. this is what I think i should do.
I have to set the character set NLS_Lang of the source db both in source and target machine. both server do not have the same character set. oracle 8i has WE8ISO8859P1 and oracle 11g has WE8MSWIN1252
then perform execute the catsql.exp script
perform the exp
exp sys/******* owner=CLAIMS file=CLAIMS.dmp
for the imp do i have to create the user or it will be created automatically should I create the timespaces amd user manually?
what would be the command to be used to import?
thank you.

Migration of Database from Oracle to SQL Server in Business Objects XI 3.1

Hi,
Currently, We are working on Business Objects XI 3.1 and Database is Oracle 11g. And now we have the requirement to migrate from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2.
I would like to know what are the key points to be considered in business objects XI 3.1 when the database is migrated from oracle to SQL server.
If anyone can share the Impact analysis document for Business Objects, it would be great.
Thanks,
Lavanyaa TP

If you use business objects tools for such migration , the impact should be minimal.
CMSDBCopy mechanism from CCM should work fine for this purpose.

Utility for migrating Domain Definitions from Oracle Designer to JHeadstart

Hi,
I am currently involved in the migration of a pretty substantial application, developed with Oracle Designer’s Web Server Generator, to the Oracle ADF technology stack, using JHeadstart. You know I am a big fan of JHeadstart for a number of reasons, but this particular application is ideally suited for JHeadstart (or I should say the other way round of course). JHeadstart and ADF can do everything Web PL/SQL Toolkit and the Web Server Generator can do - and much, much more. So both end users and developers of this application stand to gain from the migration.
However , due to special technical limitations in the Web Server Generators and the inventive hand-crafted work-arounds, I can use the JHeadstart Designer Generator migration tool only for th 60% really simple maintenance modules. The other 40% is better off with building from scratch.
There is one piece of information in Oracle Designer that is quite useful to me - that is the Domain Definitions. The sets of allowable values that power the dropdownlists and radio groups is needed in JHeadstart’s Application Definition file, and the current edition of the JHeadstart Designer Generator does not allow the migration of Domains (only complete modules are supported).
In this article: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1352 is describe a way to migrate a selected set of domain definitions from Oracle Designer to JHeadstart. This approach works for all releases of JHeadstart - from the early beginnings back in 2002 to the latest 10.1.3 release.
best regards,
Lucas

Probably better to ask / confirm this on the Warehouse Builder forum, but ....
I believe that OWB will always indicate a default value for NotNull columns. It might also do this for value-constrained columns (one where you have set Allowable Values directly for the column or for a domain associated to the column). In a normal situation, most column definitions are NullAllowed, but if you're doing some simple test runs and have nothing but key columns and some rudimentary data columns then you might have inadvertantly caused this situation.
hope this helps

Unresolved symbol after migrating Pro*C from Oracle 8i to Oracle 10gR2

You can upgrade your Application Server from release 9i to 10G. This will also upgrade your Portal application.

How to migrate AS 10g from RH EL 2.1 to RH EL 3?

hello,
i would like to know if some of you could tell me the fastest way to migrate the operating system under an oracle AS 10g R1. in detail, i need to upgrade my operating system from redhat enterprise linux 2.1 to redhat enterprise linux 3. if linux version were the same, i could create a tar from the old oracle system and install in the new one, but - as the linux version is different - i need to relink and recompile some part of the oracle code. so how can i proceed???
the only thing i'm thinking to is to reinstall a new oracle as 10g on a redhat el 3 and then export the portal db schema from rh 2.1 and import it on rh 3 already installed, but this solution will not export my as configuration (as the virtual hosts, the changing of the http server ports,...).
any idea?
regards,
fabrizio

I recently did a kernel upgrade from RH4 to RH 4.2 without any problems but this is not what you guys are asking.
The easiest way should be to have a backup of the complete Oracle stack , upgrade the OS following the instructions from RedHat and then you have two possibilities:
a) Try to get everything fromOracle back running (might include a relink) and if this fails as an earlier post suggested
b) Re-install the software without the database (or the metadata repository) and copy this one back from the backup. Even this could fail due to some changed libraries so you'll need to investigate the compat-libs from RedHat.
If everything fails ask support for an upgrade path.
