Migration of 9iAS R2 from Sun to Linux

We want to migrate out 9i AS infrastucture and server from Sun Solaris to RedHat AS 3. I have been looking for directions on how to do this, but have come up blank. Can someone point me to a document or something that tells us how to do this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks ... Vin

Its basically a fresh install and then a data conversion.
Install 9iAS R2 on Linux machine
Patch up to latest levels on both machines
Synchronize your LDAP database/user store
export/Import your content areas
If you keep the same hostname/ip address for the new server, you may get lucky - do a fresh install with the same settings as your current system on the linux box, shutdown the rdbms, do an import/export database migration - bring everything up and cross your fingers :)

  • Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ?

    Hi Friends,
    Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
    (or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here  - Transporting Data Across Platforms
    (or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
    Regards,
    DB

    HI
    his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
    Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
    To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
    List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
    The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
    1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
    2. Start the database in read only mode
    3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
    4. Check if there are any external objects
    5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
    6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
    7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
    8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
    9. Execute the Transport Script
    10.Change the Database ID
    11.Check database integrity
    Thank you

  • Migrating Essbase App from SUN to LINUX

    Dear Essbase Members,
    Can you please help me in answering the below questions.
    We are soon to migrate our essbase applications from Current : Sun Solaris SPARC 64 bit OS   - Essbase 11.1.1.3 to Target : Oracle Linux 4 64 bit OS - Essbase 11.1.2.2 .
    can i migrate my essbase applications by create all essbase applications on the target servers and just copying all essbase objects like ( .otl, .rul ), level 0 export from source and import in the target and aggregate the cube.
    I know we have a migrating utility, but was thinking about the above approach. will i be able to copy files and make it work , as the OS and essbase version are different on both the servers.
    or is there a better way to do this.
    Thanks
    MS

    Yes you can use that approach or use the EAS migration wizard, personally I would choose the migration wizard as it will migrate more information like filters, substitution variables.
    For a list of what is and not migrated using the wizard have a read of - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/eas_help/dbwzmigrpost-migration.html
    Remember security will not be migrated if in Shared Services mode.

  • Migration 10g to 11gR2 from Windows to Linux with 6TB DB Size in one step

    Hi,
    I need to do migration from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0 and from Windows to Linux for 6TB database Size. As both Endian format same, I did the migration using RMAN Convert database on UAT but for same 10gR2 version.(Both Source on Target Oracle Version was 10.2.01.0). Now I have to migrate from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0. So it's 2 way process.
    is it possible to club these 2 way migration process ???
    Are following steps right or any modification is required ??
    1) Install 11.2.0.2.0 on Linux OS
    2) Open Source Database (Windows) in Read Only. Generate TRANSPORT.SQL, CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN & Pfile.
    3) Copy Source datafiles in temporary location on Target OS. Also copy above files.
    4) Create dummy controlfile.
    5) Startup nomount with Changed pfile
    6) Mount database with Dummy Controlfile.
    7) Run CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN to convert actual datafiles from Windows Platform to Linux Platform.
    8) Shutdown the instance and delele Dummy Controlfiles.
    9) Edit TRANSPORT.SQL and do Appropriate Changes like redolog files, datafiles path...
    Now my question is, can I add ?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql in TRANSPORT.SQL script after Startup upgarade command so that Complete Upgradation to 11.2.0.2.0 would be done.
    10) Then run TRANSPORT.SQL on Target System (11.2.0.2.0)
    Tell me if more inputs are required from my side...
    Regards,
    Manish

    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.

  • Migration of j2ee app from Sun one App Server 6.0  to Sun one 6.5 Server

    Hi all,
    Currently I am involved in "J2EE" ear (webapps) migration from Sun One 6.0 to Sun One 6.5 Application Server on solaris os.Since the version and functionlity itself is major change in Sun One Server, my team had decided to build the source file and decided to port to Sun one 6.5 App Server.On doing build and compiling all source files, EJB compiler is failing on Sun one server 6.5.
    Our findings on migration was as follows:
    Sun one server 6.0 and its EJB compiler internally uses "kfcjdk11.jar" which is the base library to generate ejbs for "Enterprise Archive or ear file " of the application.Hence our application is suceessfully getting compiled and built on Sun one server 6.0 and running pretty fine.
    However, "kfcjdk11.jar" still present in Sun One 6.5 server but its not been referred by SUN One 6.5 EJB compiler.So any successfully ear file deployed on 6.0 App Server, can be deployed on Sun One server 6.5. But to test applications/product's cycle, ear file deployed on SUN one 6.5 throws runtime errors and white screen is displayed to the user.
    I had already included kfcjdk11.jar file into classpath, still its failing to compile the files.
    The one of the error description is as follows:

    To move/migrate the 11i Apps Database alone means you need to follow the export/import method.
    Please refer the note: 362205.1 "10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i"
    In general steps to follow the DB migration is :
    1. create the complete export file in source database
    2.create a new DB in the target instance
    3.perform the import
    4.create the new auto-config and sync with apps tier

  • Migrating Oracle from Solaris to Linux: Trouble converting FileSystem metadata with fscdsconv in Linux (Veritas Storage Foundation)

    Hello everyone,
    I'm in the process of migrating an Oracle DataBase from Solaris 5.10 server to Linux Red Hat 6.4, the storage used is SAN and volumes managed by Veritas Storage Foundation on Solaris
    At this point, I'm trying to convert the byte order of some volumes that come from Solaris in my Linux server using the following command:
    /opt/VRTS/bin/fscdsconv -y -e -f /tmp/vxConv/dbtemp01.tmp -t os_name=Linux,arch=x86 /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtemp/dbtemp01
    Note: Because of the text formating, the above command could span several lines, but I'm executing it in just one
    And I get the following errors:
    UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-20012: not a valid vxfs file system
    UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-24426: fscdsconv: Failed to migrate
    Searching for a solution of these errors in the Veritas forums, I've found this post, where the user mikebounds gives some steps to migrate Solaris to Linux. I've found that I've replicated these steps but I get stuck on the fscdsconv because the beforementioned errors.
    Does anyone know what could be happening here or have any sugestion to share?
    Software Versions involved:
    RHEL 6.4 x86_64
    Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise 6.2.0.100 on Linux
    Solaris 5.10
    Veritas 5.0 on Solaris

  • Migrate Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Sun solaris to RHE Linux 32 bit.

    We are migrating the Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Solaris two node to Linux two node including the database Oracle 10.2.04 64 bit.
    Since the applications only support 32 bit we are not able to store CM tier in a 64 bit Linux so with this considerations we are going with the below plan.
    1. Install RHEL 5 as a 32 bit for two nodes ( One for DB/CM and FORMS/WEB)
    2. Migrate the applications and DB from Solaris to Linux as the same node configuration that is
    Node A:
    Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 64 bit ( SUN oS 10 64bit) -> Oracle 10.2.0.5 32bit (RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Oracle Apps CM 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10 64bit) -> Oracle apps CM 32 bit(RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Node B:
    Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms (sun OS 10) -> Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms ( RHEL 5 32bit)
    Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10) -> Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 ( RHEL 5 32 bit).
    Question : 1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migration
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux

    Hi,
    1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migrationWhy would you downgrade the db from 64 bit to 32 bit. As 32 Bit has lot of memory limitations.
    You could keep the database on 64 bit for linux too.
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux Please see

  • Problems with xalan migrating from Sun One 7 to Sun One 8.1

    Hi!
    I'm migrating one application from Sun One 7 to Sun One 8.1, my problem is when I use xalan/xerces to transform XML/XSL appears the following error:
    javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException
    I put my xalan/xerces version in my WEB-INF/lib but I think that the problem is that internally the server use its xalan that is a strange version, because in MANIFEST file put 2.6.0 version but I compared with 2.6.0 of xalan and it's different.
    How any idea to solve this?
    Thanks in advance

    As you have an existing portal installation, you will need to have the 9iAS Portal 3.0.8 Upgrade Scripts in order to upgrade to 3.0.8. We expect to have these 3.0.8 upgrade scripts available next week (April 23-27) for download from OTN.
    With regards to import/export, Import/Export Utilities currently will ONLY work between portal installations which are at the SAME VERSION LEVEL.
    The 3.0.8 upgrade process is an "in-place" upgrade, meaning that it upgrades an existing installation to the 3.0.8 release. You will need to have Portal 3.0.7 on your new box, and then upgrade "in place" to 3.0.8 there. I would advocate also doing a "cold backup" snapshot(backup all database data and log files) of your existing production database files as well.
