Migration from DB2 on mainframe z/os, os/390

Hello,
we are planning to perform a migration from DB2 on a mainframe towards Oracle. I've read about the Oracle Migration Workbench I didn't find anything that states that a migration from mainframe can be performed with the Migration Workbench.
We only want to migrate the DB2 tables towards a staging environment (in Oracle), so we only need to migrate the table definitions with the data.
Can this be done with the migration workbench?

Arno,
The Migration Worklbench does not support migration from DB2 on the mainframe currently. support for this is under development. If you would like access to this you need to get in contact with your local Oracle account team to progress.
If all you are interested is tables/data this can be achieved via our gateway products.
We also have gateway support for DB2 natively. You will find more information about that here:

Migrate from db2/400 (V5R2) to Oracle

Greetings!
We are looking at helping a customer migrate their DB2/400 (V5R2M0) database to Oracle (planned for 10gR2).
I see there is a Migration Workbench offering for the lower revisions (v4r3) as well as for DB2/UDB, however nothing for V5R2M0.
There are over 1500 files (tables) to convert so we don't want to have to do a dump & load.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Jim,
I work for a group in Oracle Server Technologies that focuses on legacy (mainframe and midrange) modernization. There are three options from Oracle:
1. Oracle Data Integrator (was Sunopsis) - This product is completely written in Java so it can even run on the iSeries/AS400. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle-data-integrator/index.html
2. Oracle ransparent Gateway for DB2/400 - Can execute qeuries directly against DB2 to migration the data. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/tg4db2400.htm
3. OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) - This is an ETL offering from Oracle. Two options for moving the data FTP (and load the flat files) or if you have an ODBC driver on the iSeries can use this with OWB. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/index.html
Hope this helps. My team is hear to help with legacy modernizations so don't hestitate to contact me at [email protected]

Help on Migration from DB2 version 8.1 to Oracle 10g

Hi All
We have one requirement of migrating one Mainframe database to Oracle 10g. the DB version is DB2 8.1 on Z OS. We are thinking of using Oracle Migration workbench. Can someome help me know if this is supported by OMWB tool or not. I checked in oracle site, they have mentioned some details about V4R5. Could not conclude. Please confirm this. Also let me know if there is any tool that we can use or we have to go manually. Any pointrs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashant

OMWB nor its follow up product SQL Developer Migration workbench support DB2 z/OS migrations. You have to do them "manually".
For a manual migration you might use an Oracle Gateway which allows you to use an Oracle database link to the Db database and you can then use the gateway to copy the data from Db2 to Oracle. Another alternative would be to unload the DB2 data into an ascii file and to load it into the Oracle database using SQL*Loader. You might also use Golden Gate which is commonly used to replicate data between Oracle and DB2 - but it allows you also to use it as a migration utility.
There are also Oracle partners that can assist you with the migration - please have a look at:

Migrate from DB2 7 to Oracle 10G(R1)

Hi, all.
I have a big DB2 db. When Oracle and DB2 set up on different computers, OMWB works good. When i install Oracle and DB2 on one system UDB7 driver not work - on step "Source Database details", when i enter user ID/pass and database name, then do nothing :(.
How explane it?
User information correct. DB2 ODBC driver - worked...
Can you help me?

Are you missing a zip file, or are using an unsupported by omwb version of the zip file/driver?
That is what is suggested by a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError found message from Java.
It is also possible, but less likely, that some corporate anti-virus/security software has changed the software. There was a post concerning that possibility recently months ago. [search for www.trend.com on this forum: Urgent help-Unable to login into OMWB

From the User Guide:
Before Migrating From IBM DB2 UDB
To configure an IBM DB2 UDB database for migration:
1.
Install the IBM DB2 UDB Client software on the same system as Migration Workbench.
This automatically installs the IBM DB2 UDB JDBC driver contained in the db2java.zip file.
Note:
Migration Workbench supports the use of either the JDBC 1.2 or JDBC 2.0 compliant IBM DB2 UDB JDBC driver.
2.
Copy the db2java.zip file to the following directory:
OMWB_install_dir/Omwb/drivers
3.
Make sure that you can login to the IBM DB2 UDB database with a user name that has database administrator privileges.

PeopleSoft CRM 8.8 migration from DB2 UDB v8.1x to Oracle 9i Rac

Hello,
What is the best way to migrate a PeopleSoft CRM 8.8 application (PeopleTools 8.44) from DB2 UDB v8.1x to Oracle 9i Rac? From what I can tell I have either two options; 3rd party software or data mover. Is there a Workbench tool to do this job or is data mover my best bet.... Just an FYI...The database size is around 100GB...
Thanks

I would suggest that you get in contact with your Oracle account team with this request. We have groups inside Oracle with have experience migrating databases underneath PeopleSoft applications. They would be able to provide you with the best advice and assistance if required.

Migration from DB2 to Oracle issue

Hi
I'm migrating an old legacy system from DB2 to Oracle but have the following trouble:
The queries that the app executes have some DB2-specific syntax such as DATE function, example:
select * from TABLE where date_col > DATE('2010/01/01');
The above query works on DB2 but not in Oracle (should be changed to use TO_DATE function but this is not possible initially)
I could create a function in the Oracle db called DATE, something like:
create function date (p_date varchar2) return date is
begin
return to_date(p_date)
end date;
create public synonym date for sys.date;
But DATE is a reserved word and I can't use it as function name
Do you know any way of making the above query work against an Oracle db or transforming the query text before being parsed?
Thanks a lot in advance
--Guillermo

As you stated and mentioned in the manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10830/appb.htm
DATE is a reserved word and thus you need to recode the statement. For example the migration utility is commonly adding an underscore to the function - and this requires again a recoding of the source statements.

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.
Regards,
Kee Cheng =)

nvr4getu wrote:
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 Workbench for migrating IBM DB2 on OS/390 to Oracle 10Gon Solaris

Hi,
We are looking to migrate an IBM DB2 database on OS/390 onto Oracle 10G on SUN Solaris. Can anyone help us with a migration workbench toolkit for the same.
Regards,
Jagdish Narayanan

Jagdish,
We don't currently support migration from DB2 on the OS/390 platform. If you need a solution now, you might investigate a solution from one of our migration partners like Ispirer: http://www.ispirer.com/products/

Migrate SAP from DB2 9.5 to DB2 9.7 using System copy

Hello,
We are migrating our SAP systems to new hardware and we are also planning to upgrade our database from DB2 9.5 to DB2 9.7. So my question is can we take a db backup of our current SAP system which is on DB2 9.5 and install the target SAP instance directly on DB2 9.7 during the System copy?
Or do we need to install the target SAP instance on DB2 9.5 and then upgrade the system to DB2 9.7 after the System copy procedure.
Please let me know as we need to start the migration at the earliest.
Thanks
D

Hi Deepak,
Yes, that is possible (but only offline backup). But for the new features like reclaimable tablespace (to lower the high watermark)
it's better to export/import with systemcopy.
Also with systemcopy you can use index compression.
After backup and restore you can have also reclaimable tablespace, but you have to create new tablespaces
and then work with db6conv and online table move to move one tablespace online to the new one.
Best regards,
Joachim

Hi VKMP,
As well as reading the documentation thoroughly the following note available in My Oracle Support may be useful -

How can i Migrate a database from DB2 to SQL Server 2008r2.

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me letting me know the process for migrating the database from DB2 to SQL Server.
1) Is there any way to migrate a database from DB2 to SqlServer. (My assumption is we can not migrate database, if wrong correct me gurus).
2) Or we can only transfer data from that DB2 database to SQL Server (Using SSIS packages).
Please help me knowing the process to migrate the data from DB2 server to MSSQL server. Even am reading the documents available in the web.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft provide a migration assistant for DB2 to SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45296
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from DB2 to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and
SQL statement conversion and data migration.
Hope that helps

DB2 Migration from Windows - Linux supported with Backup/Restore ?

Hi folks,
we have to do a DB2 V9.1 migration from Windows -> Linux. Both servers are Intel based. Is it official supported by SAP to do this without SAP migration tools? E.g. with a backup/restore or redirected restore? I heard about it, but i'm not sure.
Thanks a lot
Jochen
Edited by: Jochen Raab on Mar 1, 2010 5:40 PM

Hi Jochen,
Please have a look at the DB2 docu.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/c0005960.html
It clearly stats that Linux and Windows are not compatible.
DB2® database systems support some backup and restore operations between different operating systems and hardware platforms.
The supported platforms for DB2 backup and restore operations can be grouped into one of three families:
Big-endian Linux® and UNIX®
Little-endian Linux and UNIX
Windows®
A database backup from one platform family can only be restored on any system within the same platform family. For Windows operating systems, you can restore a database created on DB2 Universal Database (UDB) V8 on a DB2 Version 9 database system. For Linux and UNIX operating systems, as long as the endianness (big endian or little endian) of the backup and restore platforms is the same, you can restore backups that were produced on DB2 UDB V8 on DB2 Version 9.
So you need to do an eport/import.
Regards,
Joachim

Re Migrating from Oracle to DB2

Hi All,
We are migrating from Oracle to DB2, so just wanted to know what will be the impact when we do this, i mean what all necessary steps should be taken to do so. I am a technical consultant involved in this project so not much idea regarding this.
Also please let me know will it effect the custom i mean the Z programs that we have created. Please let me know regarding this.

> We are migrating from Oracle to DB2, so just wanted to know what will be the impact when we do this, i mean what all necessary steps should be taken to do so. I am a technical consultant involved in this project so not much idea regarding this.
A heterogeneous migration (changing database and/or operating system) implies a certified migration consultant doing the migration, otherwise you'll loose support from SAP for problems during the migration and for the target system (http://service.sapcom/osdbmigration --> FAQ).
> Also please let me know will it effect the custom i mean the Z programs that we have created. Please let me know regarding this.
Depending on how you access the data you may need to increase/delete indexes or change the programs to get a better speed.
