Migration Strategy: 8.1.7.4 to 10.2 - Windows OS

Hi all,
I am looking to gain some insight to help formulate a strategy for migrating our 8.1.7.4 OLTP environment to 10.2. Our current OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Our target OS is Windows 2003 Server.
Would anyone here care to share the steps they took to accomplish the same migration? Did you try several methods and what worked best? Did you migrate to 10g on the 2000 platform and then move to 2003? Did you install 10g on 2003 and then migrate your 8.1.7.x instance to it there. Did you run the two environments in parallel for a time while keeping them sync'd?
I am really just getting started on this and would appreciate any insights and advice I can gather. Thanks for any assistance you can lend.

8i is NOT supported on Windows 2003, so you cannot clone your current 8i database to the new server (if that would be possible, you could do a direct upgrade from 8.1.7.4 to 10.2).
It's only my experience (because it should work, both sites are Windows, same software (here I assume it's not 64bit Windows)), but I don't recommend to upgrade to 10.2 on Windows 2000 and afterwards to transfer to 2003. Better handle this environment as 2 different platforms.
So it remains the good old export/import to to this task. You will have a downtime,
after the setup on the new machine has finished, you have to export the data without any user activity. Then you have to import the dumpfile.

Migration Strategy- AIA

I have tried to find out documents related to migration strategy(if any) defined by Oracle but could not find any. Can anyone point to any document/link so that I can know what values are to be populated in Oracle AIA for successful migration of Siebel CRM & Oracle BRM data?

Small databases could be migrated using conventional export/import for 9i and Data Pump for 10g. For larger databases I would consider transportable tablespaces.
I don't think that the migration strategy really depends on the fact that the target will use RAC One Node.
Much more important in my opionion are:
1. how much downtime you area ready to accept
2. what is the size of the databases
3. physical location of old and new server (in the same data center or in different data centers)

Migrate oracle 10.2.0.5.0 enterprise on windows server 2003 32bit to Linux

Hello,
I am trying to find any white paper regarding the benefits of migrating oracle database from windows server 2003 32bit
to RedHat linux server 64bit.
The current db version on windows is 10.2.0.5.0
The new version on linux will be 11.2.0.3.0
If anyone crossed such a white paper describing the pros & cons for such a migration..
Thanks alot.
Edited by: user7320646 on Jan 9, 2013 5:45 AM

John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
1. From 32bit -> 64bit
2. From Windows to Linux
3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.

Family Migration Strategy needed (from mobileme)

My brain is about to explode. I have read countless articles about mobileme to iCloud migration, and I am NOT clear as to how to accomplish this...
- I have an "AppleID" ([email protected]) that I have used for my family for countless years to purchase iTunes content.
- I have a mobileme account ([email protected]) that I have been using for a few years for iCal and Address book sync between 3 family iPhones and 3 family macs. Yes, we all share calendars and contacts.
It is my understanding that iCloud does not want us to share contacts and calendars. But as a family we want a single address book -- at least a subset of our addresses should be "shared".
I know that we can use the old AppleID for the store -- [email protected] -- ok, fine.
BUT - what is the best solution for:
- iCal calendars. We want to share our calendars between all macs and all IOS devices;
- Address Book. We have a family shared database -- and we want this shared. In our perfect world, we would have a group shared address book, and then local, non-shared part (didn't Now Contact handle this just perfectly 12+ years ago?)
Am I reading this corectly that we can have a 3rd AppleID for certain iCloud services? Is this true? But the "migration" is going to be a mess since we already are using, "[email protected]" for mobileme -- yes?
CAN I DO THIS:
1. use my existing [email protected] AppleID for iTunes (purchased content) for ALL devices;
2. use my existing [email protected] AppleID as MY iCloud address - for all iCloud services EXCEPT calendar, address book and photo stream;
3. create a new [email protected] AppleID for wife's iCloud services, EXCEPT calendar, address book and photo stream;
4. create a new [email protected] for daughter's iCloud services, EXCEPT calendar, address book and photo stream;
5. create a new [email protected] for FAMILY SHARED iCloud services: calendar, address book and photo stream;
Will this work for us?
Yes, WE WANT to share our calendars, our contacts and our photos.
Will the fact that I already have 2 Apple IDs (and one is mobileme) get in the way?
Is this strategy of a "3rd/SHARED" AppleID for contacts and calendars the correct approach?
Is there a best-way to do the migration?
Is there a worst-way/guaranteed to fail/avoid-or-else method?
WE DO NOT use mobileme or appleID for email.
WE HAVE gmail accounts in addition to our [email protected] addresses.
My macs are still on Snow and my iphones are still iOS 4.x (all iPhone 4), so I can't really try it and revert. I really want to take advantage of Lion and iOS5 features -- but if I can't do the shared calendars AND contacts, I need to find the solution before I do this.
Thanks in advance for your assistance here.

You should continue to your iTunes Store ID as you have done before, logging into iCloud sync services won't change this.
You can do all that you suggest however you can only log into one iCloud account at a time and your suggestion would require you to keep logging in and out of accounts which would all be rather clumsy.

Data Migration Strategy: Legacy to CRM (BP and Case)

Hi,
What is the best strategy to implement in migrating data (Master and Transactional) from a Legacy System (text file) into SAP CRM: Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW), Master Data Manager (MDM) or ABAP? And what are the reasons?
Thanks,
Nhlanhla

Hi Nhlanhla,
You can achieve this by IDOCS or XIF Function Modules.
   Preferred is develop a program using CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE and CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE for better performance. Here you will find Z fields create through EEWB also.
For IDOCs
Message Type         CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M
Basic Type           CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03
Message Type         CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M
Basic Type           CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M02

Best migration strategy in ODI

What's the best strategy of migration in ODI ? I mean we have Dev,Test, UA and Production instances. I know there are metalink notes and some documentation on migration but I need to know the potential issues with migration if anyone has experienced. We may not migrate whole development to Test but migrate partially as some objects might be still under development before moving to test and in such scenario, how do we keep track between instances ? I appreciate if some one can throw some light on this who has experienced with different scenarios of migrating objects in ODI and ofcourse the best strategy of the migration process...
Thanks in advance.
Ram

Hi ,
ODI provide the option to export / import ODI object in form of XML file. So , You can partial export some object that you want then import to the production env. As my exp , Sometime it has some issue about internal object ID link that make a ruin to the repository on the production. Because all the object in ODI was linked together with "Internal ID" that related between object.
With this method , you cannot track what's the different between prod and dev environment until you create a version of that object and use compare version utilty in designer.
Hope this help ,

SAP HR Data Migration Strategy

Hello Guys,
I worked in Data migration in the areas like SD,MM,FI. But I am new to HR. Can anybody please give me the HR data migration stratagey like what data's (eg, Master ,transactional etc) we need to load and sequences and methods available for each type?
Thanks
Kal

Hi chakri,
Documentation we use is Data Convertion Bueprint which is simply customer's requirements accroding to what infotypes he needs, what data should be migrated and which org. elements will be imported.
Another one is Master Template which is actually prepared by us (technical team). We prepare LSMW for each infotype mentioed in former document, then we document it in this master template to provide to customer required flat files format. We prepare such becuase sometimes some filed may be fixed, some added and even are read-only so should be skipped. So this document differs a bit with previous one in regards to infotypes' used fields. Than we sent this document to our local functional team which is resposible for providing files with given format.
In first document there are also some Golden rules, which describes exact steps for one entire cycle (staring from deliveirng the file, ending with validation of loaded data for one infotype), which each involed party should follow.
The last but not least important document is what we call Loading sequence. I already described it previously. It is just the order of loading the data to infotypes which you should follow. It also contains such information as
- number of records in provided file
- number of errors, successfully loaded records
- files which we share with functional team (error logs)
- finally files which we sent as validation data (extracted from system after successful load of infotype)
Unfortunatelly I can't provide you any of them as these are company documents which are not to be distributed. Sorry I am not allowed to break this rule.
Anyhow I hope it will give you an overview of what kind of documentation you need. It is of course of your team how you organize your work and documentation.
All in all crucial thing is communication between teams, which from my experiaence sometimes fails.
One more thing:
Always remeber to give points to usefull answers, that's how the forum works. Of course it is not obligatory !
Rememebr if you get something, you appreciate it by assigning points:)

Business partner Migration Strategy

Dear All,
We have one project on CRM migration of Business partners along with marketing attributes from 4.0 to 7.0
There are two approaches u2013
1.     Either the data is transferred from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0
2.     Data is transferred from ECC6.0 to CRM 7.0
Which would be a better approach and why ?
Cheers,
Disha

Disha,
Since you have a requirement to transfer marketing attributes. Generally marketing attributes are maintained in CRM, so its easy to transfer from CRM to CRM. CRM4.0 and CRM7.0 data structures are almost same.
You need to go with data transfer from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 using XIF concept.
    Which requires very less configuration and easy maintenance. It transfers data through IDOC.
    To achieve this create site, subscriptions in SMOEAC tcode.
     Activate delta through CRMXIF_C1 tcode.

Choosing the best migration strategy

I'm migrating from on premises Exchange 2007 (part of SBS 2008). My plan is to use a staged migration. One of the first things I need to decide is if I want to use password sync or single sign on. I've read the docs on each, but I'm unclear
on the specific advantages of each.
If I use single sign on, is it dependent on the connection between Exchange online and on prem? If my DC is offline, can users still authenticate online for email?

Why you want to migrate though Staged process? It is a very time consuming process. As per my own experience, I would advise you to make use of any EDB to Converter like PcVita Converter, Stellar EDB to PSt Converter, Kernel EDB to PST Converter and many
more are there. With these tools, you can directly export EDB to PST and then you can easily import that PST into your Exchange using powershell cmdlets. You can find page URLs of the converters below:

Report migration strategy from Cognos to BO 3.1

Hi,
I am looking for some input for report migration from Cognos to BO. We will have to migrate large volume of Cognos 8 reports to BO XI 3.1. What are the gray areas in it? what is best practice available?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Atanu

What do you mean "populate repository" ?
I'm sure you should be able to export/import users, but to re-create reports from xml ???
Cognos allows you to export all report information to XML and ability to create report back from that ??
BO doesn't.

Migration Strategy Using The Golden Gate

Hi All,
I am a DBA and new to the Golden Gate area. We are planning to migrate the one of our database (24/7 availability).
source
RDBMS Version: 9.2.0.5
Os: HP-UX
Size: 2TB
TARGET
RDBMS Vesrsion: 9.2.0.5
OS: Linux (x86)
What is the best approach to migrate the data using golden gate ? Which method of initial load will be preffered ?
I appreciate if some one shared their experiences (preffered method/time lines).
-Thanks

You would pay to license GoldenGate, but are using a desupported release of Oracle? If you are on support, simply upgrade to 10g and use transportable tablespaces. That's a no-brainer. Or, for whatever reason you cannot upgrade to 10g, use multiple streams of export/import. Or, use Streams. At face value, your combination of Oracle and wanting to use GoldenGate sounds like you aren't paying for either one.Yes, we are aware of 9i database support but we didn't get a chance to upgrade for all good reasons(old vendor app doen't support anything but 9i untill now. But we are going to
migrate the database to new platform(linux) and to 10g (as vendor certified th 10g but not 11g ).
