Migration Oracle 7 to Oracle Rdb

There are quite a few forum discussions here for migrating just about any database under the sun to Oracle. I require to migrate an Oracle 7 database to Oracle Rdb on OpenVMS Alpha. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions/tips for proceding with this type of migration?

Hi James,
Unfortunately this forum predominantly deals with migrations from non-Oracle environements to Oracle. I recommend you contact Oracle RDB support.

Migrating menues from oracle 11i to R12

Hi all,
I have to migrate Menus from Oracle 11i to R12, this can be done using FND_LOAD, but we have to migrate it using API's. Please suggest me the API name and approach. Currently I am investigating on fnd_menus_pkg.load_row and fnd_menu_entries_pkg.load_row . Please let mw know if these are the correct API's to migrate Menus. Any help is appreciated.

If the version of $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afsload.lct and the table structure is identical on both instances, you may use FNDLOAD for your custom menus. However, I would not recommend using FNDLOAD or any API between different application releases.

Homogeneous migration sapinst thinks oracle 11 instead of oracle 10

HI
I have done 2 separate homegeonous migrations (system copies).
One was on solaris / oracle 10 with erp 6 ehp4, the other was an SCM 7.1 on linux / oracle 10
Oracle 10 was installed before I started sapinst.
During the sapinst screens I entered Oracle 10 as rdbms, in the summary.html is show ORacle 10 but during during install sapinst changed that to Oracle 11.
So, at the point where you have to install the database, you click continue, than sapinst reports that the database software isn't in installed. In the logging you now see it is searching for files in /oracle/<SID>/112_64
I managed to get around this by ln -s /oracle/<SID>/112_64 /oracle/<SID>/102_64 but this isn't working nicely.
In the next steps the database cannot be connected to properly so you have to manually fix some stuff.
Anyone else having this issue that you entered Oracle 10 and sapinst is using Oracle 11?

Sander

Hi S.Van.Gemert,
For Unix - Oracle , you shouldn't install oracle in advance, wait until sapinst prompt for oracle software installation. This is stated in the installation guide.
Are you using sapinst with 11g installation? What's the DB server version selected when prompted by sapinst?
Cheers,
Thanks,

Migrating data from Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2005

I am new to both. I need to first migrate data from oracle to sql server. After this I need to create a daily nightly batch process to insert new records from oracle to sql server into that table.
As my knowledge in SQL server is zero. Can somebody help me how I can accomplish this.
Somebody told me that I can use sql server import/export to do initial data dump into sql server and after that I can create a link in in oracle to do new iserts for new records. does any one have some example on this. I will really apprecite this if someone can give me step by step example. Thanks

I have been to SQL Server training, but my SQL server databases are off the shelf system, so I don't have to muck with them. Anyway, Sql Server is just MS Access on steroids, so some of the same concepts apply. You need to create an external table links to oracle. The following tidbits I found by googling might help you.

Migrating data from oracle to sql server

I have two databases(Oracle and Sql Server) in my company.
I want to migrate some data on daily basis from Oracle to Sql Server.
what are the best methodologies used to perform this task?
Can we schedule this task on daily basis?
please help me guys

Salma,
First and foremost, you need to understand that there are architectural difference between Oracle and SQL Server (with the major one being the difference between Oracle's PL/SQL and Microsoft's Transact-SQL) thus, it will not be an easy task to migrate data from Oracle Database to SQL Server. As far as the use of tools is concerned, you can utilize the following tools (third party tools not recommended) to achieve this:
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant (Oracle to SQL)
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration-oracle.aspx
Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench (SQL to Oracle)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
But before proceeding with anything, I would recommend you to read through the following post as it lists down the primary compatibility resources and migration guidelines:

Hope this helps.

How to migrate a SAP Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g (on a new machine) ?

Hello,
Do you know the proper procedure of such a migration : Migrate a SAP Oracle 9i to a new machine : HP-UNIX, Oracle 10g.
My understanding :
(1) Setup the new machine
(2) Install the latest version of HP-UX
(3) Install Oracle 10g database program
(4) Use Oracle Export / Import to copy my existing SAP Oracle 9i to this newly installed Oracle 10g machine.
(5) copy or tar all the SAP related files, eg.BRTOOLS, ABAP reports, to the new machine
(6) Modify all the configure files since the machine name is different.
Is it correct ?
Is it the most appropriate method ?
Is Export / Import a proper way to migrate an Oracle to a new version ?
Should I use Data Gurad instead ?
Finally, for this migration issue, any SAP Note you will suggest ?

There are two ways of doing this:
a) You do a system copy using R3load
This will give you a "free" reoganization because the tables will be loaded into the database as if you were doing a new installation. The disadvantage is, that it takes more time and good planning.
b) you do a system copy using backup/restore together with the database upgrade
This is a fast way to get your system upgraded and if something goes wrong you can still use the old system. Check
Note 932722 - Upgrade to Oracle 10.2 during a database copy
this is a note for Windows but you can adapt it to be used on Unix/HP-UX too.
And just as a remark:
The "free" support for Oracle 10g is ending next year in June (see Note 1339724 - Oracle 10.2 Extended Support free until July 31, 2011) - after that you have to buy additional support if you want to continue to run 10g. If you run now a migration/upgrade project, why not upgrade directly to 11g?

Dependency of latest Migration Workbench on oracle 9

It appears that the latest version of the Migration Workbench (currently available download) has a dependency on Oracle 9; is there an earlier version that has dependency on Oracle 8 rather than Oracle 9? Thanks for the information.

The OMWB 2.0.2 (latest version) is dependent on 9i. But these dependencies are part of the OMWB download. This means you do not need a 9i database on your machine for the OMWB to work.
The OMWB can be used to migrate databases to Oracle 8i & 9i.

Using Access forms after migrating data to Oracle

Hi,
One of the features provided by the original Migration Workbench appears to be the ability to modify a migrated Access database to use an ODBC connection to Oracle so that the original forms could still be used. I have just been through the process of migrating the demo Northwind database into Oracle using the SQL Developer Migration Workbench but this doesn't appear to be an option.
I am missing something or is this feature not available using the migration tools in SQL Developer?
And if it is missing what would be the easiest way to achieve this? From my limited exposure to Access converting the Northwind application manually appears to be rather painful.
Many thanks,
Vince

Hi Vince,
As you have correctly stated, the option to modify an MS Access database for the purpose of using the original forms is not available in Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. As this option is no longer available, the easiest way to achieve the same result is to manually update your MDB file to reference the migrated Oracle tables. Once your MS Access Forms are referencing the link tables, you can continue using the forms as before. I would suggest doing the following:
NOTE: These steps should only be carried out after you have migrated your tables from Access to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. I would also recommend that you take a back-up of your MDB file before carrying out the following steps...just to be on the safe side!
1. Create a new System DSM (using the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog, via the Control Panel > Administrative Tools on your OS), using the connection details to access the newly migrated Oracle database schema. Test the connection, to ensure it's working correctly.
2. Open your MDB file in database view - double-click the MDB file, holding down the Shift key.
3. Remove the original Access tables.
4. Using the Insert > Table menu item in MS Access, start the New Table wizard and create Link Tables to each of the migrated tables in your Oracle schema. NOTE: Rename the Link Table(s) so it matches the original Access table name. This will save you from having to edit each of the Forms, to change the Record Source it's based on. The form will still have a reference to the original table name, so by reusing the same name your form should just continue working as before. The only difference is that the data is being retrieved from the Oracle database now!
If you have any questions regarding any of the above information, just respond to this thread & I'll get back to you.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

Problems using the workbench to migrate mysql to Oracle

Hi.
I have ran into couple of problems using Oracle workbench
migration tool.
I was wondering if anyone out there has any insight.
1. If a date field in a mysql table has a default (let's say
9999-12-31) the script for oracle table will also have
9999-12-31 as a default field. This doesn't seem to work in
Oracle because Oracle expects to see something like to_date
('9999-12-31','yyyy-mm-dd'). I couldn't find a way to modify
that in the Workbench.
2. If a numeric field is defined in the mysql database as
smallint, the workbench creates a corresponding Oracle field
as num(250), while oracle would expect the presicion no more
than 38. Again, I couldn't find a way to fix it in the
workbench.
3. If I'm attempting to modify a oracle field's parameters in
the workbench,it won't let me to move to another table
without asking "do you want to save the changes" and won't
move on unless I click on "No".
I would appreciate any comments on these issues

Check your trash can on the desktop. The old version is automatically moved to the trashcan. You should be able to move it from the trashcan back to the Apps folder within the iTunes folder. The update that was pushed out was for iBooks to work with iOS 7 not iPhone 5. iOS 7 was released today.

Migrate hundreds of Oracle databases to RHEL/Windows using DP/TTS/Shareplex

Am working on devising a migration strategy for several Oracle databases from one physical data-center location to another data-center location through dedicated WAN links. Overall snapshot:
Total 365 Dbs (28 to Oracle RAC 11gR2 and approx. 300 to DataGuard and Standalone). Source Databases versions are Oracle 9.2.0.4/9.2.0.7/10.2/10.2.0.4/11.2/11.2.0.4.
Source Databases are currently on different versions of Linux/HPUX/AIX/Windows OS. Target Database OS platform(most of them): RHEL 5.8/RHEL 6(atleast for Unix) and Windows. Plan is to migrate same versions and not upgrade(due to applications dependency). am thinking of using
-Oracle Datapump
-Transportable Tablespaces+RMAN scripting(for target datafiles)
-Shareplex for Databases in TB (this tool allows ZDT, zero-downtime migration/from Quest software)
Also my Storage/SAN colleague is using Swing gear (AUTO-LUN+BC) to migrate virtualizing the storage arrays from Source to Target location. Is it possible to "piggyback" on this SAN-level migration of the "physical" datafiles and then use Shareplex to migrate the archivelogs and apply them over to Target databases?
Need your inputs please. Thanks in advance..
Abhijit

Abhijit,
If you haven't had any feedback yet then the best option is to ask this question in the Database forum -
Forum: Database - General
General Database Discussions
This forum is for migratiing from non-Oracle to Oracle databases and they will be better able to help moving Oracle from one machine to another.

How to migrate the whole Oracle Applications from one Server to New IBM eS

We are on 11.5.10.2 with IBM/p670 servers.
We want to migrate the whole oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 to new IBM eServer p5 590.
what is the best approach to migrate the whole Application.
Best Regards
Zia

Rapid clone is there
Manually also you can do
Copy all tops
Ensure tns connectivity to oracle home by tnsnames.ora entry change
make changes in context.xml
remove entries in FND_NODES for old servers
run AC
(Above steps do for DB tier then CM and then AdminTier - supposing admin and DB are diff nodes)
Start services
This should do the work

Migration Oracle 9iR2 - Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, please, help

Good day!
Now I study examples from tutorial book "Oracle 9iR2 Data Warehousing"
(translated to Russian) written by Lilian Hobbs, Susan Hilson, Shilpa Lawande. However my Oracle is "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" and ( as I thought ) for this reason I can't perform these examples.
Please, help me, if it no hard.
First example founded on using "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant"
and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console". However, I not found them at
"Oracle Database 10g Express Edition".
Now I use only "Oracle Application Express" ( and SQL ). Please, tell me,
if "Application Express" has enough functionality with comparision to
"Oracle Database Configuration Assistant" and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console"
and how I need to do ? (It must, because 10 > 9)
Second example founded on using SQL. First 80% SQL-commanfs of this executed succesfully. But command "CREATE TABLE easydw.purchases" has error message
"PARTITIONing is not available." Really, in "2 Day Developer Guide"
(SQL Reserved Words ) PARTITION is not exist.
Can I CREATE TABLE easydw.purchases by "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition"
(with PARTITIONing by other means of SQL )?
There is full text of this SQL-Command:
CREATE TABLE easydw.purchases
(product_id varchar2(8)
constraint not_null_product_id NOT NULL
constraint fk_product_id
REFERENCES product(product_id),
time_key date
constraint not_null_time NOT NULL
constraint fk_time
REFERENCES time(time_key),
customer_id varchar2(10)
constraint not_null_customer_id NOT NULL
constraint fk_customer_id
REFERENCES customer(customer_id),
purchase_date date,
purchase_time number(4,0),
purchase_price number(6,2),
shipping_charge number (5,2),
today_special_offer varchar2(1)
constraint special_offer
CHECK (today_special_offer IN ('Y','N')) )
PARTITION by RANGE (time_key )
partition purchases_jan2002
values less than (TO_DATE('01-02-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
pctfree 0 pctused 99
storage (initial 64k next 16k pctincrease 0)
tablespace purchases_jan2002,
partition purchases_feb2002
values less than (TO_DATE('01-03-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
pctfree 0 pctused 99
storage (initial 64k next 16k pctincrease 0)
tablespace purchases_feb2002,
partition purchases_mar2002
values less than (TO_DATE('01-04-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
pctfree 0 pctused 99
storage (initial 64k next 16k pctincrease 0)
tablespace purchasee_mar2002 );
Naturally, I also shall continue try find solution.
Winni.

Winni,
Partitioning is only available with Oracle Enterprise Edition.
Here is a list of features by edition:
http://www.oracle.com/database/product_editions.html
DBCA is not needed with Express edition because you can only have one XE database per server, and all options are pre-configured.
Enterprise Manager Console is not included with XE - only with the other editions.
You can get most of the functionality through SQL, Application Express and SQL Developer.

Query on Driver Compatibility with Oracle 9i & Oracle 11g

Technical query on Driver Compatibility with Oracle 9i & Oracle 11g of our client scenario
1. There are 2 databases, FCDB and FCR DB. Both the databases are running on Oracle 9i. FCDB Application present is using the same version of JDBC driver (classes12.jar) to communicate with FCDB Local and FCR Host Database. And it is JDK 1.4 compliant.
2. We require upgrading the FCDB alone to 11g Release 1 and FCR DB with same Oracle 9i.
3. In this case, if the application is using the same version of JDBC driver (classes12.jar) to communicate with FCDB Local and FCR Host Database, will there be any issues.
4. Need to check if there is any issues related to the classes12.jar with 11g Release 1 DB whether oracle will extend their support to us and how and when they can they provide it.
5. If there are any issues, can that be resolved by Oracle Support?
