Migration Of Informix 7.2 to Oracle 8.1.7

Hello,
Are there any toolkits for migrating this version of Informix to Oracle?
The Migration Workbench works with 7.3 Dynamic Informix. Can this work with 7.2?
Is Dynamic Informix NT only?
Thanks
Peter

There should be an Oracle Migration Toolkit for Informix 7.X on OTN.
The Oracle Migration Workbench will only work for Informix 7.3 Dynamic Server, NT and Unix.
It will return an error if you try to connect to an Informxi 7.2 database.

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.

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
Alice

Before 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.

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:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B15857_01/toc.htm

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.

Hi,
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.

Hilary

Migrating from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9.2.0.4(Using Existing Tables space)

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?

Does anybody have idea? Thanks!

Hi Donald,
Thanks for your reply.
"ROGER"."ABB_FILE"."ABB04" means in user "ROGER" schema, have a table "ABB04", and have a column named "ABB04".
So the column's name is "ABB04", not exceed 30 characters.
The table's description in Informix as follows:
create table "roger".abb_file
abb00 char(2),
abb01 char(12),
abb02 smallint,
abb03 char(24),
abb04 char(30),
abb05 char(6),
abb06 char(1),
abb07 decimal(16,3) not null ,
abb08 char(10),
abb11 char(15),
abb12 char(15),
abb13 char(15),
abb14 char(15),
abb15 char(4)
And the table in Oracle's description:
CREATE TABLE "ROGER"."ABB_FILE"
     "ABB00" VARCHAR2(2),
     "ABB01" VARCHAR2(12),
     "ABB02" NUMBER(5),
     "ABB03" VARCHAR2(24),
     "ABB04" VARCHAR2(30),
     "ABB05" VARCHAR2(6),
     "ABB06" VARCHAR2(1),
     "ABB07" NUMBER(16, 3) NOT NULL,
     "ABB08" VARCHAR2(10),
     "ABB11" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB12" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB13" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB14" VARCHAR2(15),
     "ABB15" VARCHAR2(4)

Migration of Informix Database to Oracle

Chris,
Presently the Workbench does not migrate from Informix,
however there are a series of script based tools that presently
exist that may be of help. They are available for download from
OTN, under the Migration Toolkits section under Migration
Workbench.

Migrating image database in Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i

I am going to be migrating an image database from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i and am needing to know
what Oracle9i has to offer as far as options in storing large media types - image, video, audio, etc...
Specifically, does Oracle have anything comparable to Informix' smart blobspace? Is it possible to migrate
image data from Informix to Oracle? I know the migration kits only are available up to Informix version 7.
What does interMedia offer?

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

There seems to be a gap between the support for Transparent Gateway reg. Oracle8 versions and SQLServer 7.
So far I've only found TG:s up to Oracle 8.0.3, next step is Oracle 8.1.x . I'm currently planning to run a linked replication between a Ora 8.0.6 running on HP/UX and SLQ Server 7.0. Would that work with a TG for 8.0.3 ?

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,
Santiago

Hello,
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?.
Regards,
Tom

could you hlep me?
Thanks

Hi,
The 10.1 OMWB does not support the migration of Informix 11.5 and there is no plugin for that version.
At the moment SQL*Develeoper migration workbench doesn't support Informix migrations either.
If you have access to My Oracle Support have a look at this note -
