Migration from Oes2 32 bit to Oes11 64

Realized my groupwise mta/gwia/webaccess is running on a 32bit Oes2 machine. Obviously cant "upgrade" that to Oes11.. so creating a new pre-migration server for it.
Straight forward? Plan on using the Transfer ID wizard to accomplish this. but then expect I need to re-install groupwise modules after. Do I need to use the groupwise migration utility as well?

Hi Joe,
We're in the process of doing the above (among other things)
You have two choices:
OES2 SP3 -> OES11/SP1 migration
or
the above, but WITH ID Transfer.
It's entirely up to you if you want to keep the same servername/IP.
We chose the ID transfer.
Groupwise is VERY straight forward to go from linux to linux, IMO
However:
While we have had issues using the Novell Client for Linux (included in OES11) to migrate (via dbcopy), we have NOT had issues using the ncpmount with dbcopy. However, other people have had issues OES2 -> OES11 with ncpcmount.
There were some other intracacies with the ID transfer when going from OES2 to OES11 that I'm in the process of documenting:
a) DHCP/DNS objects/migrations are a bit odd because you'll end up with a DHCP object with the "temporary" servername of the OES11 server.
b) You'll end up with the temporary server name of the OES11 server for the OESCommonPRoxy user if you're using it. I'm currently talking to the developers to discuss a way to fix/resolve that.
However, if all you have is an OES2 server that JUST runs Gwise, then it's fairly straightforward. No need to change the case since it was already done. You'll just have to remember to copy over your .poa/.mta and any other startup files and reinstall the GW agents AFTER the ID Transfer.
I'm paraphrasing here, of course.
I'm parially through scrubbing my OES11 SP1 migration guide for incriminating IP's, etc. so hopefully I"ll have something on cool solutions next week.

Migration from Windows(32 bit) Oracle 9i db to Linux(X86-64 bit) Oracle 10g

Hi,
We are planing to Migrate our Oracle 9.2.0.6 version database from Windows(32 bit) to Oracle 10.2.0.1 version database on Linux(64 bit). Can I directly do the Migration using export/import? or What is the procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The directory structure is different...that's why you need to create the tablespaces in Linux. e.g. export dump says create tablespace in D:\..., there is no such thing in Linux. You can just export it, install software, create the db, tablespaces in Linux and import into the 10g in Linux.

Migrating from a 32 bit architecture to a 64 bit architecture for BOE XI 31

We have (OS) Windows 2003 server, on two servers clustered together running BOE XI 3.1. Are there any known issues or encountered issues with migrating from 32 bit architecture to 64 bit architecture?

The 32-bit versions of BOE will run on a 64-bit operating system provided that you use the same bit version of middleware. Since there is no upgrade path from 32-bit O/S to 64-bit O/S, you will be performing a new installation on the 64-bit servers. As usual, ensure that you back up your repositories, BOE dbs, and custom configs prior to the rebulid.

EBS R12 Migration from Linux 32 bit OS to 64 bit

Hi all,
Curently we running EBS R12 in linux 32 bit server. We are planning to migrate the same to a Linux 64bit OS. Both Apps and DB are running in one Server.
Current version : in Server XXXX
EBS - 12.1.3

Please guide me with a good and easy steps.
Thanks,

Hi;
1- Installl Redhat Enterprose Linux 5 64 bit ( need to confirm the 5.x version ) as the current DB 10.2.0.5 will not certified for RHEL6Correct only 11.2.0.3 db version is certified with RHEL6.
In oracle certification I can see the certified 64 bit RHEL OS for 10.2.0.5 is RHEL5 ("Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0 is certified on Linux x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5"). Please let me know the last supported version in RHEL5 which I can go for. I could not find anything about it. I am thinking, I can go for RHEL 5.5 and in the same OS can I upgrade DB 10.2.0.5 to version 11.2.0.3 after the migration.?The latest version is 5.8 and you can download it from e-delivery.

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

Hi,
Currently we have Oracle 32bit 10.2.0.2 on Windows 64-bit.
We want to convert oracle to 10.2.0.2 64 Bits on the same machine.
The procedure is quite simple but if we want to keep the same Oracle home it become complicated.
The Oracle 32 bit is installed on /oracle/SID/102 if we want to keep the home directory after the migration we have to install the oracle 64-bit software on /oracle/SID/102.
1. Can we install 64-bit binaries over 32-bit binaries on the same directory.
2. Do we have to deinstall first 32-bit binaries
3. Can we simply empty the /oracle/SID/102 and install 64-bit binaries and start the DB and run the conversion script ?
Thank you for you help.
Chak

Hello Stefan.
Thank you for your quick reponse.
Note 392800 describe how to de-install old oracle version after the complete installation of the new software which will be not our case because we want to de-install the oracle software before installing the 64-bit.
Normally the steps will be as follow
1. Use OUI to deinstall Oracle 32-bit
2. Install 10g 64-bit and 10.2.0.2 64-bit
3. Open the DB and run the conversion script
Is this procedure described in an SAP note ot at least supported by SAP ?
Another question : I guess when we d-install oracle using OUI it removes only the binaries not the DB or *.ora files (init, tnsnames,...).? what about the Oracle services, are they removed too ?
Thanks,
Chak

Needing to migrate/upgrade NSM 3.02.76 from OES2 to OES11

Currently running on OES2 SP2a server. NSM version 3.0.2.76
Need to upgrade to new server. New server is OES11 SP1. Also would like to upgrade to latest NSM version.
Do I need to upgrade in place now and then move to new server? Can OES2 SP2a even run NSM 3.1?
Looked at documentation some, but don't see clear process on moving NSM to new server.
I didn't find any tips in the Discussion forum.
You've given me tips in the past and they have always worked great.
Can you point me to documentation and give best practices in making this upgrade and change.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Lin

For the benefit of others doing the same, I'd migrate then upgrade. Here's how I migrated Storage Manager Engine from OES2 to OES11:
1 - Unload old Engine and disable from starting on server boot.
2 - Install NSM Engine on new server, open firewall port 3009, and configure the engine using nsmengine-config, but don't start the engine.
3 - On the new server, rename /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/engine/data to data-original
4 - Copy /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/engine/data from old server to new server, then fire-up the new Engine
5 - Run NSMAdmin against the new server and next your way through the wizard. I had to create a new NSMProxy user, but you can use the existing NSMAdmins group.
6 - Reconfigure Event and Agent servers to point to the new Engine.

Anthony

Guide for moving GW2012 from OES2 (32) to OES11 (64) on NSS?

Hi there,
I have to move a Groupwise 2012 system (no big deal - 30 users, 1poa, 1gwia) from OES2 (32bit) - to OES11 (64bit). File system is NSS on both.
I already set up the OES11 system but have not installed any groupwise thing.
Is there a general setup/Howto guide anywhere? I only find howtos for moving from Netware/Windows to OES11 but not from OES2.
Thanks for any hints.
OH BTW: It's no migration, the new OES11 system should run parallel to the old OES2 system. At least for a while.... So new hostname, new ip, etc.... Just have to move Groupwise from one to the other...

Hi,
thx for your replys.
Yes, this is the upgrade guide to GW2012, but I am already on GW2012.
I just want to move an existing GW2012 System from OES2SP3-32bit to OES11SP1-64bit (Filesystem: NSS on both). I cannot do a server migration, cause the old server has to run for a while parallel to the new one - just without the groupwise system...
I think gwoelfels post comes most close to my problem....

Migration from Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server

I am working on migrating Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 from Old server to new server. We have db around 500 GB and 3 schemas. I installed Oracle 10G on new server, created tablespaces, schema's blah blah and now doing export and import at schema level from old server to new server.
Import is taking more than 4 to 5 hours on new server. My manager is saying, window time is bit longer and he wants me to try possiblities to make this process faster. Can some one help me on this, to use the best possible method to complete this process faster?
Will below step work, if I try?
If I install, oracle 9i and 10g both on new server in different home directories and take the hot backup from old machine and restore on new machine in 9i home directory and use the upgrade configuration assistant from 10g and do the upgrade? Pls advice.
Thanks in advance,
Hari babu
Edited by: user6367891 on Mar 2, 2010 5:28 AM

It looks good.
I have one question in below steps:
To migrate an Oracle9i or older database to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
1 Perform steps 1 - 11 in "Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database".
2 Shut down the database on the 64-bit computer:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
3 Start the database migration:
SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE;
4 Migrate the database as described in Chapter 3, "Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle Database 10g Release" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
In step 4, it says, migrate database as described in chapter 3. In chapter 3, it says, to do the upgrade the process using dbca or manually. Pls confirm whether do the upgrade process after issuing startup migrate or not.
Thanks in advance.

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.

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!
