Migration of oracle database

I have an oracle database running on 9.2.0.6 on a sun solaris 5.8 OS. We would be migrating it to an AIX 5.1 OS onto a different box. What are the different ways that this migration can be performed ? The database is very very large (atleast 350GB)

On this hardware, w/ a Large Database (target is also 9.2.0.6), consider using a clone approach, or using RMAN to recreate the image on the target server.
Cloning refers to an identifcal copy of a db.
A. Here are the common steps:
1. perform full backup of database
2. alter database backup controlfile to trace resetlogs; (ie. makes ctl in user_dump_dest)
3. rename (2) trace file to clone_db.sql
4. select name from v$datafile
selct member from v$logfile
5. shutdown immediate
6. create dir on target server to hold cloned database files, copy all data and redo logs files from (4) to new dirs, including the ctl
7. rename soure init.ora to be target init.ora, edit file w/ new path for control_files, user_dump_dest, background_dump_dest, etc.
8. on target> sql>startup nomount pfile=<new location>/initclone.ora
9. sql> create controlfile set database "clone_db resetlogs noarchivelog;
10 modify the data and redo filenames to point to the names of the appropriate files on the target server
11. set the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID
12. edit tnsnames.ora listener.ora to include new db
13 stop / start listener
14 edit oratab
15. mount / open db
16. alter database rename global_name to "clone-db"
17. done.
B. Consider using Enterprise Manager for cloning

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

G.7.2 Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database
To migrate an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 32-bit Windows to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
Install Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows.
See Also:
Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows
Create the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) service at the command prompt:
C:\> ORADIM -NEW -SID SID [-INTPWD PASSWORD ]-MAXUSERS USERS
-STARTMODE AUTO -PFILE ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE\INITSID.ORA
The following table provides more information on the values you must supply.
Parameter      Description
SID     SID of the database you are upgrading
PASSWORD     Password for the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows database. This is the password for the user connected with SYSDBA privileges. The -INTPWD option is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
USERS     Maximum number of users who can be granted SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges
ORACLE_HOME     Oracle home directory. Ensure that you specify the full path name with the -PFILE option, including drive letter of the Oracle home directory.
Copy the 32-bit datafiles to the new 64-bit Oracle home.
Copy the 32-bit configuration files to the 64-bit Oracle home.
If your 32-bit initialization parameter file has an IFILE (include file) entry, then copy the file specified by the IFILE entry to the 64-bit Oracle home and edit the IFILE entry in the initialization parameter file to point to its new location.
If you have a password file that resides in the 32-bit Oracle home, then copy the password file to the 64-bit Oracle home. The default 32-bit password file is located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\database\pwdSID.ora., where SID is your Oracle instance ID.
In the 64-bit Oracle home, add the _SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED = false parameter to the ORACLE_HOME\database\ORACLE_SID \init.ora file before changing the word size.
Remove this parameter from the initialization file after the word size change is complete.
See Also:
Oracle Database Upgrade Guide for more information on changing word size
Go to the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory from the command prompt.
Start SQL*Plus:
C:\> sqlplus /NOLOG
Connect to the database instance as SYSDBA:
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA;
Re-create the 64-bit control files using the CREATE CONTROLFILE command. Edit the trace file created in "Backing Up a 32-Bit Oracle Database" to change the paths to the datafiles, log files and control files to point to the Oracle home on the 64-bit computer. This creates the new control file in ORACLE_HOME\database.
Here is an example of a database named "orcl32" on a 32-bit computer migrating to "orcl64" on a 64-bit computer:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "T1" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 32
    MAXINSTANCES 16
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    # was   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...LOG'
    # on the 32-bit computer
    GROUP 2 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    GROUP 3 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 1M
DATAFILE
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\SYSTEM01.DBF',
    # was 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...DBF'

   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\DR01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;
Alter the init file from the 32-bit computer to include the new control file generated in the preceding step.
Start the database in RESTRICT mode:
SQL> STARTUP RESTRICT;
You might need to use the PFILE option to specify the location of your initialization parameter file.
Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification of success. For example:
SQL> SPOOL catoutw.log
Enter the following command to view the output of the script on-screen:
SQL> SET ECHO ON;
Recompile existing PL/SQL modules in the format required by the 64-bit Oracle9i database:
SQL> @utlirp.sql;
Turn off the spooling of script results to the log file:
SQL> SPOOL OFF;
Check the spool file and verify that the packages and procedures compiled successfully. Correct any problems you find in this file.
If you were viewing the output of catoutw.log on-screen, disable viewing now:
SQL> SET ECHO OFF;
Exit the RESTRICT database mode:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
The word size of the 64-bit Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database is changed. You can open the database for normal use.This is from the link

Migrate oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

Hi All,
I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
Platform : Aix
Kindly help me out

Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

Changes to be made in EP server during Oracle database migration

Hi,
Currently we have a scenario where both our Oracle database 10.2 and NW 7.0 server are on same system which has got the hardware configuration as 32 bit 2003 windows machine. Due to memory constraints DB team is planning to migrate the database in to another system which is of 64 bit unix OS.
Now before they migrate the Oracle database from current system to new system i wanted to know on what all parameters and changes have to carried out from NW/ EP end so that after the database is moved EP points to the same Oracle database in the new system and runs smoothly.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Vipin.

This is a heterogeneous migration (you change the operating system) - which requires a certified migration consultant to do that task. If you do it on your own you will loose support for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration)
> Now before they migrate the Oracle database from current system to new system i wanted to know on what all parameters and changes have to carried out from NW/ EP end so that after the database is moved EP points to the same Oracle database in the new system and runs smoothly.
You will have to use the Java export/import method, not copying database files over.
Check the official system copy guides.

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,

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

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,

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.

What's the problems of my application (VB6) when i migrate to Oracle

Hello,
I have an application written by Visual basic 6.0 and running in SQLserver 2000.
i prepare for migration to Oracle database 8.1.6.
what's the problems of my application when i migrate from SQLserver to Oracle?
Help me please?
Thanks!
Chuyen.

David,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I am running Win2000 Server. I checked Component Services and verified that both Management Server and Agent are processes set in automatic mode and started.
David, my problem is that logging in to Management Server requires me to enter the Name of the Management Server. What is the "Name" of my Management Server? I don't understand what this means as I do not recall ever being asked to name my Management Server when I installed it.
The names relevant to my database installation are:
Host server name: Tower100
Database name: TOWER
Service_Name: Tower.LinFamily
Repository DB Name: TowerRep
Repository SID: TowerRep
Are any of these the "Name" of my Management Server?
I have tried all these names, and they don't seem to work.
Also, when you say the default account name, do you mean the account "SERVICE" with the default password?
Tony Lin
Tony,
If you installed on Windows then you will want to make sure that the Management Server and Intelligent Agent services are started in the Services Control Panel first.
Otherwise if you are using a UNIX server, you may need to start the mangement server manually. Here is a script I use to automate the startup process on Solaris:
http://www.dotcomsolutionsinc.net/products/installgen/sol_901_32bit_files/installgen_sol901_12_.html
From the Enterprise Manager Console login window you can click on the icon to the right of the Management Server field, click on the Add button, then enter the hostname of the management server to add it.
If the Management server is running, then you should be able to log in using the default account the first time, then create your administrator accounts.

Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Client 9i together

Hi, I've been lost some nights in this problem, in my job I will need migrate my Oracle Database 10g for a new computer, on the other hand, there is a software in this computer wrote in Visual Basic and this running only Oracle 9i Client.
Is it possible configure my new server for run Oracle Database 10g and Oracle 9i Client together?
Thanks!
Emerson

You can certainly use an Oracle 9i client to connect to an Oracle 10g database. Technically, you may have to apply the 9.2.0.4 patchset to the Oracle client to be completely supported, but that may not be strictly necessary.
You can also have both a 10g database and a 9i client installed on the same machine in different Oracle Homes. You may have some issues on Windows, however, if you are using software that is not multi-home compliant (i.e. the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle) or if you call Oracle command-line utilities (exp, imp, etc) without explicitly setting the PATH first.
