Migration from Solaris 9/GNOME 2.0 to Solaris 10/JDS 3

Hi,
I am not sure whether this is an appropriate forum to post this question
but I first tried the "Sun Java Desktop System Support Forums" but was t
old that they do not cover the Sun supplied JDS .
We are in the process to migrate our workstations from Solaris 9/Gnome 2.0
to Solaris 10 with JDS 3. There are some migration issues which came
up after the first trial installations. So far I could not find any solutions to
them.
Many of our users currently have a panel with various launchers on the
top of the screen. This panel disappears when a user logs in under
JDS 3. Is there a way to migrate these panels so that they appear
under JDS3 in the same way as under GNOME 2.0?
The workspace configuration is lost when moving from GNOME 2.0
to JDS 3.0. The number of workspaces is reset to 4 and the names
vanish. Can this configuration be copied over to JDS 3?
Many thanks for any hints.
Regards,
Matthias Ernst

Personally I think JDS3 is a bit awkward and
certainly not as nice to use as Gnome2. I was
disappointed to see the CDE apps menu has disappeared
too, I had to figure out where certain apps are on
the HDD, something I never thought to do in the past.
Specifically I was looking for SMC, which I
eventually found in /usr/sadm/bin/smc.
I was under the impression from Sun's own
documentation, that Gnome would be the replacement
for CDE, I figured they'd included it with latter
Solaris9 installs as a stop gap. I also noticed that
when I installed Solaris10, I saw a message box
mention KDE a few times so I expected to see an
option for KDE as well. Dunno if it's hidden away
somewhere but I'd sure like to know what it was all
about.I wonder whether one can get rid of some of the JDS stuff and just use the GNOME part. I never understood why so many of the desktop environments try to immitate Windows even to the extent that there is a launch (aka start) button.

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...
Which account is this for???

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.

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.

Migration from Sun solaris 8 to Solaris 10

Hi,
We are migrating from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 with the compiler migration also earlier we are using Sun Studio 6 and now it is Sun Studio 11.
When we are compiling the code on Solaris 10 which has been running on the Solaris 8, we are facing some error. So could you help me on this
"ResourceManager.h", line 98: Warning (Anachronism): Type names qualified by template parameters require "typename".
"ConnectionMgr.h", line 62: Where: While specializing "ResourceManager<T>".
"ConnectionMgr.h", line 62: Where: Specialized in non-template code.

2 Warning(s) detected.
make[1]: *** [obj/ConnectionMgr.o] Error 2
Not sure of the warning , am not able to see these error on the compilation on Sun Studio 6.Below is the bit of the header file code, where the error is occurring.
98 typedef map<ResourceID, ResElement *>::iterator ResMapIterator;
100 typedef list<ResElement *>::iterator ResListIterator;
We are using a /opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC compiler and the verison is CC: Sun C++ 5.8
Please help me out about the issue

Since you are jumping several compiler releases and two Solaris releases, you should migrate in two steps.
1. Get your application working with Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 8.
2. You can now run that application on Solaris 10, or you can rebuild it on Solaris 10 and then run it.
An application built on Solaris 8 will run on Solaris 9 and 10.
An application built on Solaris 10 cannot be run on Solaris 8 or 9.
We promise upward binary compatibility, allowing an old binary to be used with a newer compiler or on a newer Solaris. But we can't promise source code compatibility because we don't want to have to duplicate old bugs in old compilers.
C++ 5.8 in Sun Studio 11 detects errors that older compilers might have missed. The rules about where to use "typename" are one example.
I would not expect the warning about typename to be generated by either of the source code lines that you show, but I can't really tell without seeing a compilable example.
You need to use typename when you use a type that depends on a template parameter. Example:
template <class T> class C1 {
public:
typedef T Type;
template <class T> class C2 {
public:
typename T::Type a;
C2< C1<int> > c2i;If in C2 you do not specify typename, the compiler does not know whether T::Type is intended to be the name of a type. If it is not a type, the code is always invalid. The C++ rule is that if an an identifier is not known to be a type, it is not a type. You use typename to tell the compiler that T::Type is supposed to be the name of a type.

Migrating from Solaris 8 -Tuxedo 8 to Solaris 10-Tuxedo 11g,Help required.

Hi All,
Presently in our Unix Server(Production Box) is running on Solaris 8 and we are using Tuxedo version 8.0
We are planning to migrate our applications on the Unix server with Solaris 10 using Tuxedo version 11g r1.
Here is the glimpse of our ubbconfig file in production:
*RESOURCES
IPCKEY 59201
MAXACCESSERS 1300
MAXSERVERS 900
MAXSERVICES 2500
MODEL SHM
LDBAL Y
SECURITY USER_AUTH
SCANUNIT 10
SANITYSCAN 3
BLOCKTIME 6
*MACHINES
SPINCOUNT=5000
MAXWSCLIENTS=280
when we issue a tmloadcf -c ubbconfig
we get
Ipc sizing (minimum /T values only) ...
Fixed Minimums Per Processor
SHMMIN: 1
SHMALL: 1
SEMMAP: SEMMNI
Variable Minimums Per Processor
SEMUME, A SHMMAX
SEMMNU, * *
Node SEMMNS SEMMSL SEMMSL SEMMNI MSGMNI MSGMAP SHMSEG
abcdefgh.santosh.com.in 1045 130 1040 A + 1 682 1364 2988K
where 1 <= A <= 8.
The number of expected application clients per processor should
be added to each MSGMNI value.
The bbstats for our server is below:
bbstatsCurrent Bulletin Board Status:
Current number of servers: 532
Current number of services: 838
Current number of request queues: 186
Current number of server groups: 43
Current number of interfaces: 0
We have recompiled our code to generate new binaries in a similar development environment with Tuxedo 11g installed in Solaris 10 Unix Server,
but when we actually migrated them and booted up,within 15 minutes they started generating core files and crashed.
Hence apart from our application code(which works fine in Present situation but creating issues in the new server),
we are also doubtful about the IPC settings (i.e the outcome of tmloadcf -c ubbconfig) and configurations (RESOURCE and MACHINES section).
Can you please advice if some value needs to be tuned up in the new server/ubbconfig file.
It will be very helpful,if anyone please explain this below part:
Ipc sizing (minimum /T values only) ...
Fixed Minimums Per Processor
SHMMIN: 1
SHMALL: 1

where 1 <= A <= 8.
The number of expected application clients per processor should
be added to each MSGMNI value.
I was going through the documentation but was unable to get the clear picture.
I am new to Tuxedo and hence suffering with this migration activity.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Migrating from Solaris to AIX

We are planning to migrate from Solaris to AIX. What document will help me to follow?
If possible send me exact link.
Our current environment is R/3 4.6c, Oracle 9.2.3 and Solaris 5.9
Please let me know as quickly as possible.
Thank-you

> We are planning to migrate from Solaris to AIX. What document will help me to follow?
Start with

where you will see, that you need a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration.
> Our current environment is R/3 4.6c, Oracle 9.2.3 and Solaris 5.9
since that version is out of support for a long time there are no more official migration guides available, that must be covered by consulting. Technically it will be done by R3SETUP with DBMIG.R3S as parameter file.

Db migration from Solaris 8i to windows 10g

There is requirement to move db from solaris8(dbversion8170 to window Server 2003 (10204 already installed)
DB is about 80gb big, what would be the best approach ?
I am thinking to create new db on windows, and export and import data.....any concerns/suggestion?
Source System
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
CORE 8.1.7.0.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 3.4.1.0.0 - Production
Target System
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

what are other options i can try ?I only mention this approach because you asked. I wouldn't recommend it as a general strategy. exp/imp is the most straight-forward.
We are in the process of migrating from 9.2.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 (11.2 is not an approved standard yet in our enterprise), moving from Solaris to Linux, and consolidating two related instances into one.
We had to handle some unique situations due to our consolidation, so we did a lot of the steps manually that exp/imp does for you. A side benefit of this extra work is the actual down time is can be less than exp/imp itself, and avoids the need to dump all the data to disk and read it all again. We have about 500GB to migrate. It is a lot more work than a simple exp/imp, and is probably not be worth the effort for a single 80GB instance.
Our steps (oversimplified, there are more details than this) :
Set up the new instance and configure storage
Create users and roles in new DB
export structure only (using 9i exp)
import structure only (using 11g imp), without indexes or constraints
copy data (insert /*+APPEND*/ into.. select * from ... over a database link)
create indexes and constraints
Handling LONG data, materialized views, interdependencies between schemas each presented their own special circumstances I had to deal with.
The other path to get from 8i to 10g (mentioned only for academic reasons) is do a series of upgrades-in-place to get from 8i to 10.2.0.4 then use cross-platform transportable tablespaces to go from Solaris to Windows.

Migration from AIX Oracle8i to Solaris Oracle8i?

Hi,
I wonder how to migrate Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on AIX to Oracle
8i (8.1.7) on Solaris?
The Oracle version is the same, but only the O.S platform is
different. I have found the migration information from Oracle
web site but it only talks about migration between different
database.
Thanks.

> In our organisation, we are planning to migrate from AIX6.1 to Solaris x64. The processor which we'll be using is UltraSPARC+IV processor.
Well - I think you're mixing a few things up here.
Solaris x64 refers to Solaris on the Intel or the AMD processor (x64 == x86_64 == AMD64)
UltraSPARC IV+ refers to a CPU developed by Sun (now Oracle).
> 1. Which guide to refer for moving the SAP System from AIX6.1 to Solaris
There are no specific guides for OS migrations. You use the heterogeneous system copy approach. However, migrating a database and/or operating system requires a certified migration consultant on-site doing the migration. If you do it yourself you'll loose support from SAP for problems during the migration and for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration).

Yes. Solaris 10 on SPARC Is supported.

Migration from SAP ECC6 , Oracle , Solaris Sparc to Ecc6, Oracle, Solaris x86 , Is this consider Heterogeneous or Homogeneous system copy?
Thanks.

Solaris on SPARC is a BIgEndian platform, Solaris on X86 is LittleEndian - so it's heterogeneous --> you need to use R3load to performa a migration - and you need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration (http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).
