Migration from 8i to 9i/10g

Hi ,
I am current using Oracle 8i, is the migration to 9iR2 or 10g free?
Do i need to pay to upgrade to the newer database? Am currently using 817 Enterprise Edition.
Thanks in advance.

This would be a question better answered by your Oracle Sales representative as they can pull up all of your current license and support information.

Hotkey (Ctrl+B) is not working after migration from Forms 6i to 10g

Dear Gurus,
Need your help regarding the following problem:
After migrating from Forms 6i to 10g (Rel 2), Ctrl+B (used to list the blocks in a form) hotkey is not working anymore (all other hotkeys are working fine). I've checked my FMRWEB.RES and it contains an entry for Ctrl+B:
66 : 2 : "Ctrl+B" : 70 : "Block Menu"
Additional Information:
OS: AIX
NLS_LANG = UTF8
fmrweb_utf8.res also contains the same text for Ctrl+B as above.
I tried to reproduce it on my Windows Machine (with NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and its not working as well. I don't have right to put move files on AIX server but i can try anything (on my local system) suggested by the Oracle gurus.
Best Regards,

Dear Gerd,
"are you sure, that it is the hotkey"
Yes, i am dead sure. Since:
(1) It was working fine in forms 6i
(2) If you run a form and select Help => Keys, you will see Ctrl+B on the top of list
The problem is its not taking into account the keys which i am defining in the file (although i am following the same procedure detailed on metalink.oracle.com).

Migrating from MSSQL2005 to OracleExpress 10g - stored proc problems

I'm trying to migrate from MSSQLExpress2005 to OracleExpress 10g.
I upgraded my SQLDeveloper 1.1.3 to SQLDeveloper 1.2 from Check Updates (Even it still displays 1.1.3 at Help->About, I assume it was upgraded because version of extensions changed to 10.2.0.29.98)
First I have renaming of my objects problem :
Why does SQLDeveloper renames my stored procedures? I dont see any reason to change.Some of about 50 occurrences :
1-"spCPLN_Alloc_ReSortForMultiAttendance" to "spCPLN_lloc_ReSortForMultitten"
2-"spCPLN_Alloc_CalculateFixedConstraints" to "spCPLN_lloc_CalculateFixedCons"
3-"spCPLN_Alloc_GetAllocationResult" to "spCPLN_lloc_GetllocationResult"
Another problem : What is the problem of this T/SQL scode snippet?I cant convert it with Scratch editor too. I got "Unexpected end of subtree : Line 0 Col 0." error
CREATE PROCEDURE spCPLN_XML_InsertDers
@CourseID int,
@Type1 int
AS
BEGIN
IF((NOT EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM DersKur
WHERE CourseID = @CourseID))
AND ( @Type1 = 2 ))
BEGIN
SELECT 1
END
END
I have more than 15 error like this.
thank you

Hi Tuna ,
Thanks for the feedback.
Stored procedure names are collision managed so that they are not longer than 30 characters in length. This is a limitation of Oracles object naming convention.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/fundamentals.htm#sthref309
WRT the procedure.
There is a issue in the T-SQL translator which I have logged a bug for.
bug 6127111 NOT EXITS SUB EXPRESSION NOT RECOGNIZED
It looks like the translator cannot recognize the
IF(( NOT EXISTS
and is expecting IF NOT EXISTS.
As a workaround the following manually modified T-SQL translates
T-SQL
CREATE PROCEDURE spCPLN_XML_InsertDers

@Type1 int

Forms Migration from 4.5 to 10g

Hi ,
I want to migrate my forms from 4.5 to 10g so i did following steps:
1. Installed Developer suite 10g
2. Took a sample form developed in 4.5 and comiled it in 10g builder utilized the
sample.fmx file for 10g the test was successful ,
I need to migrate a complete application developed in 4.5 forms to 10g and I have
some existing libraries which I use in my forms , now i'm stuck how to utilize them for
10g as whenever I open the forms in 10g builder it asks me to remove the library.
Can please anyone inform me how to utilze the my own user built libraries and esp .
how to repalce D2KWUTIL with WebUtil and is the way i'm approaching for migartion
correct ?
Thanks.
Jonty.

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply ,
but still i'm not clear how to utilize my libraries as even if i migate to Forms 6i
which in turn also supports D2KWUTIL ,so how to utilize Webutil instead of
D2WUTIL while migrating from 6i to 10g.
Is there any document or paper in suport to it.
Thanks.

MIgration from forms 6i to 10g - Webutil migration also required?

Do we need to migrate webutil.pll and webutil.olb files as well during migration?

Best regards,
I have a tool to migrate from Forms & Reports Ordem call, which allows the automatic migration of Oracle Forms Developer written in versions 3.0, 4.5, 5.0, 6i or 9i to the latest version Oracle Forms Developer 10g to 10g or JAVA .
If you require more information from our tool I can send information to e [email protected] and gladly put myself in communication with you and review the issue in detail.

Data migration from oracle 8i to 10g

hi
i want to move data from oracle 8i to 10g. I just want to move data, and nothing else. Tables with the same names and fields are already in 10g. every thing is already there in 10g except data.
tell me some hints and solutions so that i can use imp and exp to move the data from 8i to 10g without any data loss and in a secure way.
thanks

there is another point that oracle 10g also contain some data. and tables and field names are same in 10g as in 8i. if i use "imp full=y" then is there any chance of data loss that is already in 10g? and are there any chances that data file are overwritten? tell me the risks and solutions.

Migration from DB2 to Oracle 10g using free tools

Dear all,
Im currently using DB2 database and wish to migrate data over to Oracle 10g express. However, i could not find any free tools or methods to migrate without using tools as i could not use tools like Oracle Migration Workbench as the migration is for certain project which will deal with internal process or commercial purpose.
Would like to seek everybody's help. Greatly appreciation your response.

Kee Cheng =)

Thanks. But have you heard of creating a heterogenous services, create a database link between the 2 database, then transform over to Oracle?I thought you were looking for a free tool. With HS, you'll have to buy the component to install on the DB2 system. Unless something has changed since the last time I worked in a mixed Oracle/DB2 shop.

Migration from Access to Oracle 10g (Problem with migration wizard)

Hi
I have an access database which I want to migrate to Oracle DB.
I have created 2 connections.
1. Access connection with the source database
2. Oracle connection.
I have associated the oracle connection to the repository.
When I go through 'MIGRATION WIZARD' process. I am not able to view the source database file while capturing. Tried it several times.
Need a help in this
Regards,
Arjun
Edited by: 919650 on Mar 9, 2012 2:47 AM

Arjun,
you cannot do an online migration with MS Access as you can do with other foreign datasources. You can only do an offline migration.
The first step that you need to do is to call the Microsoft Access Exporter. Click on Tools - Migration - Microsoft Access Exporter and chose the exporter of the MS Access version that you are using.
The exporter creates an xml file for you. After the exporter has finished you can do the migration, click on Tools - Migration - Migrate, but in Step 4 please select "Offline", and then you can select the xml file that the exporter has created. The following steps in the Migration assistant are then doing the migration for you.
You might also want to read the chapter "Before Migrating From Microsoft Access" in the online help of SQL Developer.

Migration from disc 4 to 10g

Hi all,
I'm posting to have some help from discoverer experts.
We're trying to migrate discoverer 4 to 10g, which I've already done in the past and was quite straight forward. Although, we are experiencing some problems this time.
Here are the steps :
1 - I backup everything from EUL4
2 - I upgrade the EUL to version 5
3 - I use discoverer desktop 10g to access to the database and everything seems to be all right.
However, there is one report that seems not have migrated correctly. When using discoverer 4, it takes 15 secondes to run and show the result. Using discoverer 10g, it takes more than 20 minutes. I've noticed that the query are the same and run quickly on the database (with both of versions, we see that the query is executed and the result is quickly sent back). On discoverer 10g, it seems to run a long time on "sorting data" part (even if I take out all sorts), after he has got the result.
Question 1 : Can I use discoverer 4 reports and use them with disc 10g ? I guess so
Question 2 : Is there something known that disc 4 does but disc 10g can't ?
Before opening the report and find the thing that cause the problem (which could take a long time), I was wondering if someone here has an idea. I couldn't say what exactly is the report since it's a huge one and has a lot of conditions and use almost everything that discoverer has to offer.
Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.
Pat

Pat.
As far as I know, there's nothing obvious that could effect performance adversely for 10g - as the SQL generated, etc. from 10g is supposed to be far superior to 4.x.
1. If you're asking can you use Disco 4 and Disco 10 at the same time, if 10g created a new EUL then yes - if each in different Oracle homes. However, it's pretty impractical for the long term.
2. The biggest few issues I can think of, for being in 4.x and not in 10g is:
a. subquery - this was a flakey concept in Disco anyway (ie: one sheet calling another sheet), but is not available in 10g
b. total number of pages - things that 'looked ahead' (ie: for display page 1 of 200), the total pages (200) option is now not there
Here's a few ideas that I'm wondering may be causing the problem.
1. do you have statistics on in the new 10g version?
2. is it a crosstab report?
3. are the governor settings different now?
4. are you pointing to a BIS or NoetixViews view?
5. are the column headings calculated (ie: a calculation displayed as the heading?)
Apart from that, I'm guessing that under 10g you're now using iAS? (you don't have to but most do), so that brings all the fun of having another middle layer box / software that might need to be optimized (ie: the 2 config files on the Disco server).

Sys_context while migrating from DB 9i to 10g

Hi friends,
We have been migrating our database from 9i to 10g. In 9i, the sql command

Issue in Migrating from forms 6i to 10g

Hi,
I have a instance of Oracle Ebs R12.1.1. Now I want to migrate a custom standalone application developed in forms 6i. I am able to upgrade the 6i forms with the help of Oracle Form Migration Assistant but the issue is that the converted forms are not taking the look n feel of forms 10g in R12.1.1. More over after opening this form if I open a seeded for the look n feel is totaly distorted. I have to then logoff and login. \
Plz let me know how to change the look n feel of a totaly standalone custom form in 6i to 10g look n feel of 12.1.1 forms.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Do you have any 11i instance where those custom forms are used? If yes, you will have to copy those forms from 11i to R12 instance, open the forms using Forms 10g builder, compile it and upload it back to the server.

Migration from Reports 6i to 10G

Hi,
I have migrated my forms from 6i to 10g. Everything is working fine except reports.
(Im calling reports from my menu modules using run_product builtin).
Now i need the steps to migrate the reports from 6i to 10G.
Good Help will be appreciated.
Regards
Sankar.M.N

hi,
instead of run_product you hav to use web.showdocument
migrate your from from which you are clling report
it will add report-object and rp2rro lib to your form
and then change your function
like this
PROCEDURE call_report IS
          pi_id paramlist;
          alrt_var number;
          repid report_object;
          rep_path varchar2(200);
          vc_reportserverjob varchar2(100);
          report_job_id varchar2(100);
          v_rep_status varchar2(100);
begin
     repid := find_report_object('RP2PRO');
     rep_path:=*path of ypur report*;
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_filename,rep_path);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_server,*report_server_name*);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_execution_mode,RUNTIME);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_comm_mode,SYNCHRONOUS);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_destype,cache);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_desformat,'pdf');
     pi_id := get_parameter_list('it_param');
     if      not Id_null(pi_id) then
          destroy_parameter_list(pi_id);
     end if;
     pi_id := create_parameter_list('it_param');
     add_parameter*(your_parametrer here*
     add_parameter(pi_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
     vc_reportserverjob := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pi_id);
     report_job_id:=substr(vc_reportserverjob,length(*report_server_name*)+2,length(vc_reportserverjob));
     v_rep_status:=report_object_status(vc_reportserverjob);
     if v_rep_status='FINISHED' then
          web.show_document('http://'||*host_name*||':'||*port_name*||'/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||report_job_id||'?server='||*report_server_name*,'_blank');

DB Migration from SAPDB to Oracle 10g - Archive access after migration?

Hi!
Our customer plans to move his SAP system landscape from one Service Provider to another. During this not only new hardware is used but also a DB migration will be done using the procedure described in the SAP System Copy Guide (SAPDB -> Oracle - Offline Export in source system,
Import in target system).
SAPSID and client will be the same in the new environment, but of course HW key, IP-adress, Server name, Domain name and obviously Installation no. will change. SAP Note 153433 as well as System Copy Guide do not completely clearly tell me, whether we will face problems when trying to access our archived data after the migration. It's not completely clear to me, how the Archive References are
built: Only using SAPSID and client? Then everything should be okay, because here we plan no changes.
So do we have to face any problems when trying to access and/or reload the archived files and objects after the movement to the new service provider? Are there any pitfalls concerning archviving and archive access we have to take in mind?
Add. info: The archvied files and objects are stored in an IBM Common Store which will be moved physically from location A to B. So here nothing changes.
Thanx in advance for any hint.
BTW: SAP Notes 153433, 460620 and 53068 were already studied. SAP support said this is a consulting issue ... ;-(
Regards,
Volker Kolberg

Hi Volker,
I haven't worked much on archiving, however Archived files are flat files ( I think) and hence these files should be common for all databases.
However a good strategy is to first test. I think you must have already thought about it however still here is what you could do.
Take system copy of the system you want to migrate ( you could choose a development system where there is not much data)
Delete data the production clients in the copied system.
Archive some data using object something like WORKITEM which is harmless workflow object.
Migrate the system and try to reload the object
Hope that helps.

Siddhesh
