MIgration from Informix 7.2 to Oracle9i under Solaris
Hi all
I want to know whch version of Oracle migration kit shoul di use for migrating from Informix 7.2 to Oracle 9i. Also does the migration kit support CISAM files in Informix to be migrated to oracle. If not then how can the functionallity of the CISAM be brought into oracle. What are the options for migrating ACE reports from informix to Oracle.
regards
G.Ramji
The Oracle Migration Workbench works with informix 7.3, I am not sure if it will work with informix 7.2.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/mti/index.html
Has a list of 3rd party technologies and products that help in the migration of databases and their applications.

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.

Loading clob data/Migrating from Informix
Hi,
I wanted to understand a way to insert clob data into the database. I see that you have ways of retrieving and displaying the clobs/blobs in your demo programs. But, how do we go about inserting clob data into a column? And especially, How to accomplish this when the data is stored in the form of a file?
We're in the process of migrating from Informix to Oracle and Informix has this way of storing the clob contents into .EMB files. Moreover, there is no one-to-one correspondence between each clob column and an .EMB file. Informix just knows how to load them up when you use FILETOCLOB(). In similar lines, do we have a way to load clob data from files to start with. And would be glad to get some intricacies on achieving the migration of data from Informix database.
Please send me pointers to docs and procedures, if available.
Thanks for your time

Migrating from Informix 9.4X to Oracle
Hello Everybody,
I am trying to migrate an Informix database to Oracle using Oracle Workbench. I am trying to capture the source DB using the Wizard and when feeding the hostname, port, informix password and server name i am getting the following error "No suitable Driver"
I have also an ODBC configured same way, and it does work, but I can not get this wizard working.
If anybody know what can I do, please tell me. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
AliceBefore Migrating From Informix Dynamic Server
To configure an Informix Dynamic Server database for migration:
1.Verify that the Informix Dynamic Server JDBC Driver JAR file, ifxjdbc.jar, is located in the following directory:
On Windows:
OMWB_install_dir\Omwb\drivers
On UNIX:
OMWB_install_dir/Omwb/drivers
2.If necessary, install the Informix Dynamic Server JDBC Driver, version 1.4:
1.Insert the Informix Dynamic Server CD into your CD drive.
2.Follow the instructions in the install.txt file located in the JDCC directory to install the Informix Dynamic Server JDBC driver.
3.Copy the ifxjdbc.jar file of the driver to the following directory:
OMWB_install_dir\Omwb\drivers
On Windows:
OMWB_install_dir\Omwb\drivers
On UNIX:
OMWB_install_dir/Omwb/drivers
3.Ensure that you can connect to the Informix Dynamic Server database from the system where you have installed Migration Workbench. -
Can Migration work bench be used to migrate from Informix to
Hi,
Can Migration Workbench be used to migrate from Informix to
Oracle?
Thanks,
Ramana
nullPeddu,
Informix support is planned, but will not be available in the
near future.
Less user-friendly script based kits for informix and other
databases can be downloaded from the OTN Migration Technology
section.
Hope that helps,

Migrating from ECXpert for NT to iPlanet for Solaris
When migrating from ECXpert for NT to iPlanet for Solaris, is their a way to reuse our compiled Mercator maps (.mmc files)? Our ECXpert environment was created in 1998 and we no longer have the source for the map (.mms file) and we are looking are migrating to Solaris. Is their a converstion utility or do they run without recompiling in Solaris?
I don't recall ever hearing that you could run a compiled map for windows (mmc) on another platform... If the windows machines is still going to be around, you could probably setup something so that translate runs on the windows box and then ECX can keep processing...

Error while migration from Informix 7
Hello,
Im migration a database from Informix 7 to Oracle 9.2 using OMWB 9.2.0.1.7 and it dont migrate all the data.
I think its a problem with the date conversion.
Informix uses two types of formats:
DATE: yyyy-mm-dd
DATETIME: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Do someone knows how to fix this problem. OMWB only migrate rows that doesnt have date.
Best Regards,
SantiagoHello,
I'm doing the same thing and I solved that problem with 2 options:
1. in your initXXXX.ora add a new line to set nls date
nls_date_format='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
and then bounce the database,
change all date column in ORACLE to DATE (DATE and DATETIME will be migrate to the same column in Oracle).
Do migration again then the DATE will migrate with 00:00:00 (2004-01-26 00:00:00) and DATETIME: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss will migrate with time (2004-01-26 12:01:01).
2. If you want DATE and DATETIME seperate in Oracle then you need to change the nls_date_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD' or whatever format you want like 'DD-MM-YYYY' then bounce the database and change the column that holds DATETIME in ORACLE to TIMESTAMP(2) (Oracle 9i have the TIMESTAMP datatype and (2) means 2 digits for second, default will be TIMESTAMP(6) 6 digits for second), then migrate the data.
I used option 1 and It worked for me.
BTW. Do you have any BYTE column in your Informix 7 database? If you do how did it work with OMWB 9.2.0.1.7?.

Migration from Informix to Oracle
Hi,
Could anybody share the case studies/plan/docs related to migrating data from Informix to Oracle.Hello,
The Oracle® Migration Workbench Reference Guide for Informix Dynamic Server Migrations is avalaible at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B16022_01/toc.htm
Also, you will find a lot of informations on the Informaix migration technet page at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/informix-085032.html
Even if a lot of samples are Microsoft SQL Server based, they also apply on an Informix migration as well.
Hope it will help

Migrating from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 9.2
Hi
I need to migrate a database from Informix 9.4 to Oracle 9.2.
There are a third-part application that must be migrated that always run in Oracle databases in others customers.
I have a script (supplied for the third) to create the objects in Oracle (+- 1200 tables that will be created only with PKs to improve performance).
My question is: Can I use the migration workbench only to load the data (45 GB)? If no, what can I do to minimize the work?Hello,
Yes this is possible. You need to capture your source Informix database and map it to the Oracle Model using the Migration Workbench. Then you can generate the data unload scripts and SQL*Loader scripts to get the data our of your source database and into the destination Oracle database. For more information on how to do this, please see Chapters 4, 5 and 6 in the Oracle Migration Workbench User's Guide. You can find this document on the OTN Web site at:

Migrating from Linux 9.2.0.3 to Solaris 10.2.
Hello,
Which method is best when moving from Linux platform, db 9.2.0.3 to Solaris, db 10.2. I have tried in exp and imp but it will require shutting down production db for more than 8 hours. I am now thinking of replication. Is this a better method? How difficult is it to replicat from Linux, 9.2.0.3 to Solaris, 10g db? What are the gotchas going across platforms and from 9i to 10g. Thank you.You need to downgrade in the sequence you performed the upgrade. So you need to go back to version 10.2.0.x and then to 9.2.0.x.
BTW, do you mean 10.2.0.1 here? There was no version like 10.2.0.0. -
Migrating from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9.2.0.4
Hi
Once I created the Oracle Objects from Oracle Model, I found that Stored Procedures & Triggers were missing. All the tables were created.
I captured the Source Model & created the Oracle Model. Then I went on creating with Oracle Objects. The migration user(x1) was given all the Roles & Privileges as required. The schema belongs to another user.(x2)
Please advice.

JeyaHi,
I was unable to reproduce your problem. I carried out the following steps in attempt to replicate the issue:
1. I launched the workbench, version 10.1.0.2, selecting the Oracle Lite "Default Repository".
2. Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, I created a user "rtdb" with the password "rtdb" on my target Oracle 9i database.
3. I captured a test Informix database, generating its source and oracle models.
4. I then proceeded to migrate the database to Oracle and supplied my target Oracle9i database information in the "Migration Wizard, Step 1 of 4: Destination Database Details", supplying rtdb/rtdb as the username/password.
5. My test database migrated with no such error messages reported.
If you carried out the migration steps as I have outlined above, and are still experiencing issues with a "Failed to connect" error, I would contact support.

Hi
I want to create tables & indexes on different tablespaces as planned. I have already created table spaces using OEM. (for a given schema different set of tables have to be created on diffrent tablespaces and so on)
But,it appears,"OMWB Table Space Discoverer" is not much of useful. It allows to specify one for tables, one for indexes and TEMP. Is there anyway I can 'discover' all the tablespaces from the target and assign the tables & indexes to various tablespaces as planned.
Any suggestions?

What you need is the Informix Dynamic Server JDBC Driver, version 1.4 JAR file, ifxjdbc.jar.
This driver is shipped with the Informix Dynamic Server software. I am not sure you can download it freely.
