Second thing if i want to keep same oracle version 32-bit on 64-bit linux server..is it possible,if yes then how culd i achieve this.
Thanks,

Tuxedo Migration from Tuxedo 9.1 32 bit to Tuxedo 9.1 64 bit

Hi All,
Please tell me how to go for Tuxedo Migration from Tuxedo 9.1 32 bit to Tuxedo 9.1 64 bit. O.S. is IBM AIX 5.3 64 bit What are the prerequisite, and how to go for that. Please tell hoe to go for the same. Please mail at [email protected]

Ravi,
You will need to download 64-bit AIX binaries for Tuxedo 9.1.
Since 64-bit object files and libraries cannot be combined with 32-bit object files and libraries in the same executable, you will also need to obtain 64-bit versions of any database or other third party software that is linked with your Tuxedo application. (If you are using Oracle database, 64-bit and 32-bit support is combined in a single download, and you will just need to change $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 to $ORACLE_HOME/lib in your makefiles.)
Once this is done, you will need to rebuild your Tuxedo servers, clients, and TMS processes.
If you use buildclient and buildserver to compile all files, then you may not need to change anything else. If you call the compiler directly to compile source files into object files, then you will need to add additional flags for 64-bit compilation. If your makefiles are well-coded, you might just need to change CFLAGS in one place. Look at the output of "buildclient -v" for a simple client on the 32-bit system and on the 64-bit system to see which additional flags might be needed.
When your application is compiled in 64-bit mode, you just need to test it out to ensure that the application does not have any implicit 32-bit dependencies such as assuming that a "long" is the same as an "int".

Migration from SUSE 32 to RHEL64 bit

Hi all,
WE want to migrate our Oracle databse from oracle 9.2.0.6 database from SUSE 10 32 bit to RHEL4 64 bit platform.
I want ot know can i use RMAN Duplicate database command to migrate the same....
or i have to use the exp/imp method only.....

So sir don;t u think so if i will use IMP?EXP it is better.....
yeah there we have to create schema ,tablespace and then import.......
According to you first i have to install oracle 32 bit and in oracle 32 bit , in oracle 32 bit SGA can't excced 1.7 gb then i have to use transport tablespace to import and then i have to upgrade our oracle s/w from 32 bit to 64 bit then increased the memory ...don't u think so it will increase the overhead...pls suggest me...

Oracle Application R12.1.1 Migration from Solaris to Linux 64-bit

Hi,
Our existing System:
On Solaris 9:
Database 10.2.0.2
EBS 11.5.10.2
We are planning to Upgrade the system to
Database 11.2.0.3
EBS R12.1.3
We also want to migrate to RHEL 5 64-bit.
Please let me know if you have experience with respect to the following issues:
1. Can I use *Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 438086.1]* as reference for my scenario? The document mentions that only Windows is supported as the source platform.
2. When they copy APPL_TOP from source to target - how the binaries from source operating system will work on target operating system? Else, are they platform independent?
3. Will the following approach work?
a. Migrate 10.2.0.2 database from source (Solaris) to target (RHEL 5 64-bit).
b. Upgrade 10.2.0.2 database to 11.2.0.3 on target.
c. Install R12.1.1 in upgrade mode on target.
d. Retrofit customization.
e. Upgrade R12.1.1 to R12.1.3
Also can you recommend best practise for Migrating database?
Thanks in advance.

Note: Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1) reads: "The instructions in this document are for migration to a target UNIX/Linux platform. At present, Windows is only supported as a source platform."
Note the word SOURCE. So the restriction is Windows cannot be used as a TARGET platform, but other platforms can.
The content of the APPL_TOP is re-used in the Target environment, except for the binaries; these are delivered by applying the "customer-specific update" as in Note : Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1)
For information on the database migration check Note: 10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i (Doc ID 362205.1) and http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/migrating_ebusiness_suite_databases_between_platfo
The scenario seems OK, but needs to be tested of course.
For information related to upgrading the database for the EBS upgrade check Note: Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade (Doc ID 761570.1)

OS Migration from Windows 2003 cluster to Windows 2008 R2 MSCS

We want to go for windows 2008 R2 server ( 64-Bit) MSCS by migrating from windows 2003 Cluster ( 32- Bit) . We are running on ECC 6.0 and oracle 10.2.0.2 DB.
Is it possible ?
Is it traditional System copy if so how to migrate the cluster ?
Regards

> 2. If the oracle version is 10.2.0.2 then does it will support Windows 2008 R2.
You need at least 10.2.0.4 (you need to install that version with a separate DVD, you can't install with the normal Oracle DVD (10.2.0.1). See
Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008
Be aware of the fact that the normal standard support for 10.2.x is ending at end of july (you'll have to pay an extra maintenance fee if you continue to run that version) - see
Note 1110995 - Extended maintenance for Oracle Version 10.2
So if you now do a system copy to new hardware with a new os anyway, I would upgrade to 11.2.

DB Migration from oracle 8.1 32bit to 64 bit

Hi,
We are working on oracle 8.1 on 32 bit on solaris 64bit operating system. We are working on SAP R/3 4.6C.
We want to migrate our oracle database form 32 bit to 64 bit.
If anyone can help me with some documentation, it would be helpful. Please send to my mail id [email protected]
Also, please suggest some preperatory steps for the same.
Thanks,
Sailesh K

Dear ,
you are going to upgrade from 8.1.7.3 (32-bit) to 8.1.7.3 (64-bit). This
applies if you are running Java inside the database.
1) Shutdown your 32-bit 8.1.7.3 database. Shutdown the listener.
2) Take a cold backup of this database.
3) Install Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7.0 (64-bit)
4) Apply patchset 8.1.7.3 (64-bit) to this oracle home.
5) Copy your init.ora from the 32-bit home to the 64-bit home.
6) Edit the init.ora of the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME so that the following
    parameters are set as follows:
    aq_tm_processes = 0
    job_queue_processes = 0
    systemtrig_enabled = FALSE
    db_block_buffers= (at least 2000)
    shared_pool_size= (at least 150MB)
    java_pool_size= (at least 20MB)
7) sqlplus internal or sys
    startup restrict your 8.1.7.3 database using the ORACLE HOME of
    8.1.7.3(64-bit).
8) delete from duc$ where pack='JIS$INTERCEPTOR$' and proc='USER_DROPPED';
    commit;
    @?/rdbms/admin/utlip.sql
9) Go to Metalink, select Patches, and put in 1994933 for the 'Patch Number'.
    It will come up with a patch saying that it is for HP, but it is actually
    generic for Oracle on all platforms.
    After downloading the patch, extract it and keep track of where you put
    the rmsro.sql and invalidate.sql files.
10) Now run the following, again from sql*plus connected as internal or sys:
    SQL> @?/javavm/install/initjvmaux.sql
    SQL> @<directory where you placed the files from step 9>/rmsro.sql
    SQL> call rmsro.run();
    SQL> @<directory where you placed the files from step 9>/invalidate.sql
11) shutdown normal the database
12) If you are following this procedure because you are converting word size
    from 8.1.7.3 32-bit to 8.1.7.3 64-bit *ON SOLARIS*, then you also need
    to apply another fix.
    Go to Metalink, select Patches, and put in 2209569 for the 'Patch Number'.
    After downloading the patch, extract it and put the classes.bin file from
    the downloaded patch into $ORACLE_HOME/javavm/admin. This will replace the
    classes.bin file which is already there.
13) Startup restrict your 64-bit 8.1.7.3 database
14) Sql*plus internal or sys and type
    SQL> create or replace java system
      2 /
15) Shutdown the database
16) Startup restrict the database, connect as internal or sys and run
    SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql;
    -- To check on the progress of utlrp.sql, you can open a second sql
       prompt and do a select count(*) from dba_objects where status!='VALID';
       This count should keep decreasing as the script progresses to
       revalidate all the objects.
    -- If you get an ORA-29554 unhandled Java out of memory condition error,
       simply rerun utlrp.sql again and it will pick up where it left off.
17) Shutdown the database
    (Note: you may get an ORA-600 [729] error, which can be ignored.
    If that is the case, simply do a shutdown abort before continuing)
18) Change the SYSTEMTRIG_ENABLED parameter in your init.ora as follows.
    SYSTEMTRIG_ENABLED =TRUE
19) Startup restrict, connect as internal or sys and run:
    SQL> insert into duc$ (owner, pack, proc, field1, operation#, seq)
         values ('SYS','JIS$INTERCEPTOR$','USER_DROPPED',0,1,1);
    SQL> commit;
20) shutdown the database
21) Modify the database startup parameters JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES and
    AQ_TM_PROCESSES (and shared_pool_size/java_pool_size/db_block_buffers if
    you modified them earlier) back to their original values.
22) restart the database
23) check that you are able to startup & shutdown normally the database
    without hanging anywhere.

Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit on Oracle 9.2.0.5

Hi guys.
I have two question for migration 32 bit to 64 (x86_64) bits on Oracle 9.2.0.5 for SAP 4.7 Enterprise?
1.- When i migrated 32 bits to 64 (x86_64) bits is necesary migrated to Oracle 10 ?
In the note SAP Note 960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64), say that, pag 4:
" Oracle:
=====================================
On Windows Server 2003 X86_64 (64-bit), you may only use Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) software for X86_64 (64-bit) as a database. Note 949116 describes the installation (homogenous system copy) of old products that were not originally released on Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2). If you want to make the copy using the backup/restore procedure, for which the source database was not yet upgraded to Oracle 10.2, see Note 932722"
But, in the pam matrix say that support for 9.2.
I confused for the information.
2.- In the case that is not necessary to migrate to oracle 10, i can execute the migration to 64 bits the SAP 4.7 with the procedure Backup/Restore?
I don´t have the new server, the server for the migration is the same. The procedure you want to follow is:
1.- Backup Offline all server.
2.- Delete the server, i install the server on Windows 2003 64 bits.
3.- Install SAP 4.7 on kernel 64 bits.
4.- Restore de backup offline (only data): datafiles, archive log, redo log.
Aprecciated for the help.
Best regards,
Desiré

Hi,
According to Note:814834
#Note that there is currently no 64-bit support for the x86_64 platform
for Oracle 9.2 because Oracle does not provide a 64-bit DB client for this purpose,
and, in addition, 64-bit operation of the DB server is not supported.
This means that this DB version can only be used in conjunction with SAP components on
Windows 32-bit on x86_64 hardware in 32-bit mode.
For more information, refer to the "Oracle" section in the note.
Furthermore, it states 32bit SAP instance can connect ot a 32 bit Oracle 9.2 or 10.2 database instance.
So for your case, its better to upgrade your current database to Oracle 10.2 and then proceed with migration.

Unable To Sync After Migrating From Win XP(32 bit) to Win 7(64bit)

I received a new PC, dual core platform, for XMAS. However, I received a Com 1 port failure when performing a Hot Synch to upload my PD(,M500) data to Palm Desktop on the new PC. Palm tech support said there is no USB driver available for the 64 bit OS. Does anyone have a 3rd party USB driver, or any other suggestions to allow me to do a Hot Synch on my new PC.
Thx,

Try to use Windows XP SP2/3 compatibility mode first, see if it works for you. And use Alchemy for the Audigy 2 ZS, FS2004 is making use of Directsound after all. Read the guide for using Alchemy here and here. Download Creative Alchemy here.
Hope it works for you!

Hi All,
Can you please provide the requirements steps/documents for migration from HP-UX to Linux 64 bit on SAP XI 3.0 environment
Thanks

Hi Sateesh,
This migration which you refer here is a heterogenous system copy. you may refer the system copy guide for the same.
you can get the system copy guide from the below link

Migration from Photoshop Elements 8 (Windows 7 64 bit) to PE 12 (MAC)

I am planning to move from a PC Windows 7-based system to a MAC. As part of this move I will need to migrate Photoshop Elements from PE 8 in Windows to PE 12 on MAC. Back in July, I previously asked what steps would be necessary to migrate to PE 11 on MAC, but I delayed making the move (waiting for the new MacBook Pro) and will now be migrating to PE 12.
Do I still follow the same steps for a (hopefully!) smooth transition of my tagged photos and catalog? i.e., migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 12 (Windows). Then from PE 12 (Windows) to PE 12 (MAC). Are there any gotchas or caveats that I should be aware of? I've read a few horror stories in various places and am nervous.
Thanks, Amy

I'm a bit slow on implementation. So far I have good news and bad news. But bottom line, I need some additional help.
First the good news: The upgrade in Windows from PE 8 to PE 12 went smoothly, with all tags and their hierarchical structure maintained. Ditto for Albums which showed up under "Local Albums."
I am now stymied with the bad news and hoping for more guidance: I just got my new MacBook last week, with my data files transfered over from my Windows PC. Unfortunately, the migration to PE 12 MAC (installed for me with the disc from the boxed version) did not make the transition smoothly. All of my tags came in under "Imported Keyword Tags," with the hierarchical structure totally flattened, and they cannot be dragged-and-dropped into a renewed structure into People, Places, and Events tags, as appropriate. Also, all of my Albums have disappeared.
I'm thinking that maybe I should restore the catalog. But when I started to do so, I was asked to choose between New or Original Location. Then, when I chose "original location" (not wanting to clutter my new hard drive with duplicates), PE 12 gave me a warning about the potential for changes to the existing file structure. So I stopped and decided to come back to the Adobe Forum for more help.
Thanks in advance! Again! Amy

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

Migrating EBS from 32-bit to 64-bit

Hi,
I have a R12 Instance(12.1.3) with 11.1.0.7 database on 32-bit Linux. Now we are planning to do a clone of the existing R12 Instance to a newly created 64-bit Linux server. So i would like to know the steps involved in migrating the E-Business Suite from 32-bit to 64-bit.
Regards,
Vineel.C

I had gone through the Metalink Note[471566.1] which you had sent me. It was useful but internally it had referred to another Note:762669.1 which says in Migrate from Linux 32-bit to Linux 64-bit
h.Upgrade the database from 32-bit to 64-bit (recompile pl/sql modules and change the word size) by running $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql. Refer to the usage and notes sections in the script for instructions on how to run it.
But in general utlrp.sql is used for compiling Invalid objects.
Can you elaborate on this.Because of the word size change (from 32-bit to 64-bit), the database objects will be invalidated and you need to run utlrp.sql script to compile them.

12.0.4 Migration from RedHat Linux 4.0 (32-bit) to RedHat Linux 5.0 (64-Bit

Hi,
1) I have migrated our E-bus Environment (Test Instance) from RHEL 4.0 32-bit to RHEL 5.0 (64-bit) as per the Note IDs 416301.1 and 471566.1.
2) The Application has been tested by the test team after migration and it is working fine.
3) I did not upgrade the JDK 1.5 from 32-bit to 64-bit.
Is it a must to upgrade the JDK from 32-bit to 64-bit after the migration or will the application work fine if the JDK is left untouched?
We also plan to upgrade to 12.1.1 and then to 12.1.3 on RHEL 5.0 64-bit which I think requires JDK 6.0 as per the note 752619.1.
AS a part of JDK upgrade, Do I have to have JDK 6.0 64-bit for the application to work properly or JDK 6.0 32-bit is good enough?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Migrating from 32 bit server to 64 bit server

Hi
We have planned to migrate our portal server from 32 bit to 64 bit.
I need your help in identifying the tasks to be performed after the migration.
Migration will be done by a BASIS consultant.
My job would be to make sure that portal is up and running with all the settings same as it is on the 32 bit old server.
We are operating on EP 7.0 (2004s) SPS 13.
We are using LDAP for internal users and UME for external users.
EP system is connected to R/3 4.7 and BI 7.0 systems.
New system will have different IP address and logical name but same SID.
It would be great if I get the url of the help links and documentation.
Regards

Migration of EBS from 32 bit to 64 bit

Hi
I want to migrate my EBS (11.5.10.2) from SUSE Linux 10 32 bit to SUSE linux 10 64 bit.
I want to upgrade EBS from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1.
As this Production I want to reduce the max down time.
I know that 11i is not supported on 64 bit architecture.
Can you please guide me the migration path on higher level
Thanks

IMO, the following would be the best approach.
1. Lay down R12 (12.1.1) software on the new 64-bit server

If you have any queries about migrating the database, please mention your database version and whether you want to migrate it to 64-bit (or if it's already running on 64-bit OS).
Thanks,
Hussein
