Migration from discoverer 3.1 to BI 10g

Hi all,
We have embarked on a recent project where the version of discoverer is being migrated from Disc 3.1 to Disc 10g. The one issue that is really bringing the implementation down is that all page settings and printouts need to be reset for every single workbook.
Is there any way Discoverer can retain the print setting, instead of the user having to manually go to each report and preview, reset paper size, margins and then print the workbook?
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to overcome this issue.
thanks
Saliha Mohammed

Hi all
If you were upgrading from Discoverer 4 to Discoverer 10 you would have a chance of retaining at least some of these settings. Unfortunately, Discoverer has no direct upgrade from version 3 for workbooks so I fear you will have to recreate your settings.
When you export / import from 3 you gets the business areas, LOVs and all user access converted however this does not copy any workbooks that may have been saved to the database. This I'm afraid is going to be a manual job for the users to save any workbooks they want to a My Computer and then load and save them to the database inside version 4. You might find that settings are retained if you use Desktop for the transfer of workbooks between 3 and 4.
Going from 4 to 10 you may well have to repeat the process. There are still some anomalies that creep in after the upgrade to 10. One that I know about is the default value for NULL. In older versions Discoverer used to blank the cell but in 10g the default is NULL. I'm afraid no workaround for this is known and if you have any workbooks that make use of spaces for NULL you will have to edit these after the upgrade to remove NULL and replace with spaces.
Best wishes

  • Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

    Hi ,
    I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
    First, I was following a tutorial
    http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
    and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
    My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
    Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
    When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
    do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
    What do I do in this case ?
    Thanks !

    Thank you for your reply.
    After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
    Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
    Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
    Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

  • Migration from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 10g

    We have to perform a migration from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 10g. Many tables, many data and many stored procs.
    We use the Online mode and the imports finish with any errors, but it has not recovered any stored procedures or we can't view the Informix Stored Procedures in the Source Model in the workbench.
    In the importation log appears as no found procedures, but under owner informix are all procedures.
    What we can do?

    In the 10.1.0.4 version of the workbench we create an informix user who will have all the stored procedures.
    If you want these migrated as another user you can right click on the user in the oracle model and rename it for a start.
    If this is a large migration, I would recommend the following.
    1. generate the ddl for the oracle database.
    2. for the users, that will be created, move the objects to the users that you want these in.
    3. Make sure that the privileges that a particular user has is appropriate to use the data and execute the stored procedures if necessary.
    This tool is not just a one shot deal.. It will bring the informix db over to Oracle, but you need to verify the structure and the logic of the stored procedures as being correct.

  • Pb for rerouting mail in a migration from Exchange 5.5 to OCS 10g R2

    Hi,
    I try to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to OCS 10g R2.
    I meet a pb when I want to migrate an account, rerouting is active.
    The routing alias is created in Exchange (user_es902migration@ocshostname) as well the delegation rule.
    BUT no rewriting rule is created is the OCS server, so the mail I send to this user on Exchange are well received on Exchange but are rejected on OCS.
    Any help is welcome .

    Try to use the "project from WAR file" or "project from existing source" option in JDeveloper and point to either a WAR file produced from Netbeans or the actual source code.
    You then might need to set up libraries and project content as well as web content under the project properties in JDeveloper.
    This how-to shows how we did it with another tool but the general directions should be similar:

  • Problem migrating from Discoverer to OBIEE

    We are migrating from Discoverer to OBIEE 11g and we are finding some problems when creating a measure in Administration Tool that in Discoverer involves the next code:
    NVL(SUM("Extractos (con acumulados)".Saldo)
    OVER(PARTITION BY "Extractos (con acumulados)".Cod ejerc,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Cgacampa,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Cgacocea,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Tpprodcod,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Producto,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Subcuenta1
    ORDER BY "Extractos (con acumulados)".Cod ejerc ,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Cgacampa ,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Cgacocea ,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Producto ,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Subcuenta1 ,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".FechaYYYYMMDD ,
    "Extractos (con acumulados)".Contador
    ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING ),0)
    We are using the function Evaluate because the SUM function doesn't allow to use OVER PARTITION BY. The problem we are having is that it when we use the measure we get an error that says that window fuctions are not allowed. By taking out the ORDER BY it works, however it doesnt do what we want it to do. It doesn't work either if we add the order criteria when creating the report, we get the same error.
    Is there any way to make it work?
    Thanks

    I believe you have the desktop client version. Plus and Viewer are Discoverer versions that are typically loaded on a server so that multiple clients can access them over the web. Discoverer Plus and Viewer are components of the Oracle Application Server.

  • Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

    Dear buddies,
    I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
    Please guide me.
    Nith

    Nith,
    I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
    One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
    -Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
    -Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
    -You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
    You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
    I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
    good luck!

    Hello,
    migrations can be done with the Migration Workbench that is included in the SQL Developer: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
    But your question sounds more like a replication of data than a migration. Please read as a starter the following note in My Oracle Support (former Metalink):
    Note 283700.1: How to replicate Data between Oracle and a Foreign Datasource
    That note describes ways for the replication in both directions. Please let me know whether this is helpful for you.

  • Discoverer Viewer/Plus 10g after a migration from Discoverer 4i

    Hi, I upgrated Discoverer4i to Discoverer 10g with Ebusiness Suite 11i ( 11.5.9) without installin AS 10g
    I followed the note: http://oracle-magic.blogspot.com/2006/11/upgrading-discoverer-4i-to-10g-on-apps.html
    If I use Discoverer Administrator and Desktop it works perfectly (I connect as an Oracle Application User)
    Now, I want to see my reports with Discoverer Viewer/Plus but I don't understand how to do it (always connecting with an Oracle Application user).
    My previous URL (with Discoverer4i) was: http://gnvdev.ote.gr:8025/discoverer4i/viewer
    Now, after the Discoverer 10g installation I can connect to the "Welcome to Oracle Business Intelligence 10g (10.1.2)" page with the following URL:http://gnvdev.ote.gr:7779/
    I didn't understand how Ebusiness Suite 11i ( 11.5.9) can communicate with Discoverer 10g in order to see reports from the web
    Can anyone help to understand where and how I should modify anything in order to see my reports with Discoverer Viewer or Plus

  • Migrating from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

    Hello,
    I am a newbie to Oracle 10g and haven't really worked with Oracle since 8i. I have been tasked to migrate all of our databases and tables to Oracle 10g. I need a little help getting started or pointed in the right direction on how to copy all that data from SQL Server to Oracle 10g. I know that Oracle has an Import/Export Utility, but don't know if it can do what I need. Can some one help point me in the direction I need?
    Thanks, Marion

    Ayub
    You need to download both the Oracle Migration Workbench core tool and the SQL Server 2000 plugin (SQLserver2k.jar). You copy the plugin into the plugin directory, after you unzip the Oracle Migration workbench main.
    The tool comes with release notes and a user guide, that explains the necessary setup and migration process.

  • Migration from 8.1.7/ windows2000  to 10g/linux

    what is the step by step procedure to take export
    from 8.1.7 / windows 2000 and
    import into 10g / centos( linux).
    option 1: First upgrade from 8.1.7 / windows 2000 server to 10g / windows 2000 server and then
    10g / windows 2000 server to 10g/ linux.
    option 2 direct upgrade from 8.1.7 / windows 2000 to 10g/ linux.
    can you suggest which one is the best option.
    c.santhanakrishnan.
    Edited by: user608512 on Apr 11, 2009 12:39 PM

    Assuming 8.1.7 means 8.1.7.4, the following is what I normally do in similar situations :
    - create database in 10g with the same tablespaces as in 8i
    - full export from 8i
    - full import into 10g
    If you use ftp to move the export file, don't forget to set the binary mode.

    Hi,
    The 10.1 OMWB does not support the migration of Informix 11.5 and there is no plugin for that version.

  • Project Migration from NetBean 5.0 to JDeveloper 10g

    Hi Everyone,
    I've small issue which require assistance from experts and gurus in this forum and I hope that you are able to provide me with some clues.
    Our development team is currently made up of most NetBean 5.0 and 6.0 developers and because we are continue to use more and more Oracle products, like Designer, Form, Database, Oracle Internet Directory, BPEL and others. It became apparent that we should start investigating whether JDeveloper should be our choice of IDE instead of sticking with NetBean.
    I've read a lot of resources about comparison between NetBean and JDeveloper. But to my surprise, I cannot find any useful information about the steps and procedures in migrating a NetBean project and open it in JDeveloper so the audience can see the steps and transitions involved and clearly see how easily or difficult to perform such migration tasks? Any feedback is welcomed as I believe someone would have asked similar questions which I'm enquiring and certainly, it will encourage more NetBean users to switch to JDeveloper if their requirements equate and lie in similar perspective with our organizations. Thank you for reading this email and have a nice day.
    Kind Regards,
    John

  • Migrating from Weblogic to Oracle Application Server 10g

    Hello,
    To respond to this post you will need some basic familiarity with Weblogic.
    I am currently using Weblogic Server 8.1.
    I have an admin machine which is on its own physical hardware, and multiple managed servers. The admin server is a single point of management for all of the managed servers. Each managed server lies on it's own physical hardware and are managed remotely from the admin server.
    Does Oracle Application Server have this type of architecture?
    Lets say I have salesApp.ear and I want to deploy it across multiple physical machines, where would I administer the various physical machines from, and how would I create an instance on each machine?
    Would it be an oc4j instance or an AS instance? What is the difference?

    Forget about this!
    You need a JEE5 server to work with 11g.
    In theory you can develop application for OAS 10.1.3.1 but you must be very very careful which components you use. One new component and you are not able to run it on OAS 10.1.3.1
    If you have to run your apps on OAS 10.1.3.1 stay with JDEV 10g.
