Migrating VB Applications on SQL Server to Oracle Forms on Oracle 10g RAC

Hello All,
I am looking at migrating a VB application built on a SQL Server database across to an Oracle Forms deployment with the data migrated to an Oracle 10g RAC database environment.
My first question is whether the SQL Developer Migration Workbench can migrate the SQL Server data to a RAC environment?
The second question is to ask whether there are any "toolkits" or tips from the community migrating VB applications to Oracle Forms.
Any advise or suggestions greatly accepted.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

SQL Developer Migration Workbench definitely can migrate SQL Server data to Oracle RAC setup.
However, I don't think VB application can be easily converted to Oracle Forms.
You can post your question in Oracle Form forum to double check.

How to Migrate Stored procedure on Sql server 2008 to Oracle Database

Guys, I need help vey badly as I am new in this field.
Problem is that, I have to migrate stored procedure on Sql server 2008 to oracle Oracle database:
Whole scenario--
1. Sql Server 2008 application on Windows server (source machine)
2. I have to migrate 70 Stored Procedure
3. To Oracle Database on Linux machine (Target machine)
Any method (no problem)
Please, help me or give me any reference as I don't know which keyword is differ in both database.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You could the free Oracle SQL*Developer to do this.
There is information and a download link here -
Oracle SQL Developer</title><meta name="Title" content="Oracle SQL Developer"><meta n…
and information on using it for migrations here -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/index-084442.html
You could use it in 2 ways -
1. Go through a migration but just pull the stored procedure code from the file created after you generate the SQL from the SQL*Server database
2. Use the scratch editor accessed from -
- Tools - Migration - Scratch Editor
and paste the SQL*Server stored procedure code into the window and it will convert it to Oracle code. The tool is very good but may have problems if you have very complicated procedures that use SQL*Server specific utilities.

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?????????????

Pl do not post duplicates - related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g
Continue the discussion in your original thread
The error message is explicitly clear
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column)
Your process is trying to insert a NULL value into the ID column, which presumably cannot be NULL

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..

Abhishek

Error converting SQL Server DDL and views to Oracle

I am trying to convert SQL Serve 2008 on windows to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. I am using the jtds-1.2.7 drivers to connect to SQL Server.
I have made several attempts to run the conversion and am getting the tables, indexes, and triggers converted with no issue. However, my Procedures and views are not coming across. All of them are giving similar errors as:
"Failed To Convert Stored Procedure get_compvision > esp3.dbo.get_compvision:unexpected end of subtree: Line 0 Column 0"
When I log into the source SQL Server environment using SQL Developer, I get an empty SQL Editor window with "null" when I try to {right-click -> "Open"} on the Procedure.
Logging into SQL Server Administrator as the same user I can see the source code, so the issue appears to be related to SQL Developer and not my user privleges. I am a dbo alias in SQL Server.
In addition, if I click on a view, I can see the data and metadata, but not the SQL that defines the view. I see tabs for column, data, triggers, and details.
In addition, if I go to the "capture" for my Migration project and drill down to procedures, I can see them listed, but each and every procedure gives me a "/* DDL not accesible */" error. I get teh same results for views, triggers and indexes.
Can someone help me? I have been googling for days!

Error when creating a FDM application on SQL Server 2005

Hi,
we are getting this error when creating a FDM application on SQL Server 2005
Error: EPMCSS-07003: Failed to validate identity. Invalid identity . Check identity.[SET_ROLES_LIST]
We are using Windows System Integration although we have also tested with sa user.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Based on the error message it appears to be having a Shared Services issue. Verify that the "ADMIN" account is being used for the HSS connection and that you are using "ADMIN" to create the application and see if the same error is returned.

Integrating J2EE application with SQL Server Reporting Services

Hello everybody,
I want to integrate a J2EE application with SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. In fact, it is the first time to be involved in developing an interoperability component between .Net web service and Java application. So I have learned for some time how to pass this challenge. Moreover, I found the following virtual lab is an excellent starting point "MSDN Virtual Lab: Implementing SQL Server Reporting Services with a Java Enterprise Edition (EE) Application" [http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032315323&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US]

Writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into a Oracle table

Hello,
As a new DBA I have been tasked with writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into an Oracle table. I have been given many suggestions on how to do it from SQL Server but I I just need to write a stored procedure to run it from the Oracle side. Suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I started to write it based on what I have but I know this is not correct :/
# Here is the select statement for the data source in SQL Server...
SELECT COMPANY
,CUSTOMER
,TRANS_TYPE
,INVOICE
,TRANS_DATE
,STATUS
,TRAN_AMT
,CREDIT_AMT
,APPLD_AMT
,ADJ_AMT
,TRANS_USER1
,PROCESS_LEVEL
,DESCRIPTION
,DUE_DATE
,OUR_DATE
,OUR_TIME
,PROCESS_FLAG
,ERROR_DESCRIPTION
FROM data_source_table_name
#It loads data into the table in Oracle....
Insert into oracle_destination_table_name (
COMPANY,
CUSTOMER,
TRANS_TYPE,
INVOICE,
TRANS_DATE,
STATUS,
TRANS_AMT,
CREDIT_AMT,
APPLD_AMT,
ADJ_AMT,
TRANS_USER1,
PROCESS_LEVEL,
DESCRIPTION,
DUE_DATE,
OUR_DATE,
OUR_TIME,
PROCESS_FLAG,
ERROR_DESCRIPTION)
END;

CREATE TABLE statements would have been better as MS-SQL and Oracle don't have the same data types.
OUR_DATE, OUR_TIME will (most likely) be ONE column in Oracle.
DATABASE LINK
Personally, I'd just load the data over a database link:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_table@mssql_db_link
As far as creating the database link from Oracle to MS-SQL ... that is for somebody else to answer.
(most likely you'll need to use an ODBC driver)
EXTERNAL TABLE
If the data from MS-SQL is in a CSV file, just use and external table.
same concept:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_external_table

How to integrate from MS SQL SERVER 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.

Hi
I am new to ODI. I am trying to load sample data from MS SQL Server 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.
1. I have created three models.
1-1. SQL2005 (SRC_CUSTOMER table)
1-2. Flatfile (SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt & SRC_SALES_PERSON.txt)
1-3. Oracle 10g (TRG_CUSTOMER table)
You may know I got those environments from the ODI DEMO environment.
2. I could able to reverse the tables also.
3. I have created an interface which contains source table (from MSSQL 2005), Flatfile and target table from ORACLE model.
4. I have imported the knowledge modules. But I am confusing in selecting the knowledge modules to source and target tables.
I've selected LKM File to SQL for flatfile model.
I've also selected LKM SQL to SQL for MSSQL 2005 model and IKM Oracle Incremental Update for the target table (ORACLE).
I've also implemented the interface that I created. It worked without errors. But there is no data in target table which is TRG_CUSTOMER.
I really would like to know what happened and what the problems are.
You can email me [email protected]
Thanks in advance
Jason Lee

what did give for SRC_AGE_GROUP SRC_CUSTOMER join condition
if it is
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
give it as
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE>SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE<SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX

Heterogeneous Migration of BW on SQL Server to BW on HANA Issue

Hi,
I am performing Heterogeneous migration of BW on SQL Server to BW on HANA according to the procedure mentioned in the SAP Documentation.
Started the migration using Software Provisioning Manager.
I have ran SMIGR_CREATE_DDL and ran export of source system and it is completed successfully.
Then I ran the Import of Target system. The import ran into issues when running the script SAPVIEW, the script resulted in failure when creating views.
(DB) ERROR: DDL statement failed
(CREATE VIEW "V_TRALAN" ( "PGMID" , "OBJECT" , "OBJ_NAME" , "AUTHOR" , "DEVCLASS" , "MASTERLANG" , "COMPONENT" , "NAMESPACE" , "TPCLASS" , "GENFLAG" , "DLVUNIT" ) AS SELECT T0001."PGMID", T0001."OBJECT", T0001."OBJ_NAME", T0001."AUTHOR", T0001."DEVCLASS", T0001."MASTERLANG", T0002."COMPONENT", T0002."NAMESPACE", T0002."TPCLASS", T0001."GENFLAG", T0002."DLVUNIT" FROM "TADIR" T0001, "TDEVC" T0002 WHERE T0002."DEVCLASS" = T0001."DEVCLASS")

(SQL error 259)
error message returned by DbSl:
invalid table name: Could not find table/view TDEVC in schema SAPXXX: line 1 col 386 (at pos 385)
I found that there are many tables which are missing in HANA Schema but exists in Source system database.
I checked the export scripts like *.STR and *.EXT and does not see those tables being captured.
Example table: TTREE exists in Source System database , but missing in HANA Database Schema SAPXXX.
Not sure what is the problem and how can I fix this issue. I was planning to manually move the missing tables from Source database to HANA Database schema, but that will be too much and I am not sure how many of them are missing.
Please let me know how can I fix this issue?
Thanks.

Insert data from SQL Server 2008 St.Ed to ORACLE 11gr2 St. Edition

Dear all,
I'm searching a solution for faster transmission of data of a db SQL Server (2008 St. edition) vs PROD db that is an ORACLE 11gr2 St. edition too.
Actually this operation spend 1,5 hours but I'd like cut this time because size of the data grow up in future and this time could be a serious problem ....
Looking on Oracle Enterprise Manager I've seen that main problem is about commit .. SQL Server every record insert into Oracle TBL generate a commit ... unfortunately I cannot insert when commit must be done ... If will be solved it probably may be solved situation ...
Thanks in advance for every idea.

Thanks.
If you are depending on MS SQL server technology to do this, you are going to be stuck with the performance of that technology.
A few weeks ago we had a need to load institute a daily load of or DW from a MSSQL database. The MS-centric person responsible developed a procedure (using MS tools) that took 4.5 hours to load 1.2 million rows. I ran a session trace and the tkprof report revealed exactly what has already been described. Single row insert and commit. I knocked together a PL/SQL procedure that did a single INSERT .. (SELECT .. FROM TABLE@MSSQL). and it ran in 4 minutes. Using the Oracle transparent gateway for ODBC.

How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
I need to know details. Thanks.
USE master
go
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
     @server  = '{Linked Server Name}'
    ,@srvproduct = '{System DSN Name}'
    ,@provider  = 'MSDASQL'
    ,@datasrc  = '{System DSN Name}'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
     @rmtsrvname = '{Linked Server Name}'
    ,@useself  = 'False'
    ,@locallogin = NULL
    ,@rmtuser  = '{Oracle User Name}'
    ,@rmtpassword = '{Oracle User Password}'

You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

Can a SQL SERVER table be accessed via Oracle Forms

My boss asked me this question today. I am pretty sure the answer is "no", but thought it better to throw it out to the crowd:
"Can a SQL SERVER table be accessed via Oracle Forms?"

Yes, this is possible using Oracle's Transparent Gateway. Check out the My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink) document "How To Create A Form Based on SQL Server Table" (Doc ID: 564915.1) for all of the details. This document is based on Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) so you may need to upgrade your Forms version if you are not already at this version at a minimum.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
