Move Database from 11g SE to XE

Good day!
I need to move a 64-bit server is Oracle 11g Standart Edition for free Oracle XE 11g R2 32-bit.
Please help, how do I do this?
If I do a backup of the SE database with RMAN, and restor it to the XE, I get the error on startup when database opening ORA-00904: "EDITION": invalid identifier.
The same error when manually copy data files, re-create the service, and spfile controlfiles.
If I do a full export from SE, get a bunch of errors when importing to XE.

I need to move a 64-bit server is Oracle 11g Standart Edition for free Oracle XE 11g R2 32-bit.Sounds like an odd direction, if you ask me...
What is the exact version number of your 11 SE?
If I do a backup of the SE database with RMANWhat did you backup? Of course, you can't restore a full backup from SE to XE, because though XE is based on the standard 11.2 installation it has been modified in various aspects.
The same error when manually copy data files.That will never work between different database instances...
If I do a full export from SE, get a bunch of errors when importing to XE.This would be the way I'd recommend for that procedure. How do you export/import and what errors do you get?

Move database from server running Oracle 11G to server running Oracle 12c

I'm trying to find out the easiest way to migrate a database from a server running Oracle 11G to a server running Oracle 12c. I have tried using RMAN's duplicate database command but have run into far too many issues when trying to setup both servers before running the duplicate command. If someone could provide some clear guidance on configuring both servers for the RMAN Duplicate command then that would be great. The other thing I have tried is performing a cold backup of all the files for the database (control files, data files, etc.). Copying them to the new server and then recreating the control file to include the correct location and names for the datafiles and redologs. After recreating the control file the database will not start up. I'm suspecting this is due to the version differences. If you can provide me clear (ie. migration for dummies) instruction for getting either of these methods to work it would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to any other method you can think of to achieve what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks, Paul Noyes

Move Database from 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.1 on NEW SERVER

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any help ..
I need to Move Database from 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.1 on NEW SERVER
I am beginer in DBA Administration and I will try to explain my situation in my company.
Well I have:
- Two physical servers with Win 2008 R2 x64
- Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 x86
- The size of the database up to 10 GB
- Replication is working on a script level with archivelog think i something like Data Guard or it is.. because I did not install this from begining.. I get this when I get job..
- SSID VIZRTDB a schema PILOT
In my company I deal more with system and network administration, and there I began now to work around this part of the DBA I can say that I am already comfortable with oracle database.. but here I stumbled on a problem, so I do not know where to start and who to ask..
In a virtual environment I install the same as I have on physical server, only now I install Oracle 11.2.0.1 and Win 2008 R2 x64, and I made all the replication and which is identical to the production servers ..
The idea is to export the database to 10.2.0.2 from production server and then imports it into 11.2.0.1 and I have already tried but I have a lot of mistakes at the end of the importa .. I tried the classic Imort / Export, and I will try to Impdb / Expdb (Data Pump) .. a lot of mistake like some stuff already exist etc..
I think the question is what is best to do with the data pump or with some other tool to import database on new server 11.2.0.1? I mean what do you think is the best procedurally to do ..
Since the moment I have two physical servers and is really complicated to do any upgrades, etc..
Can I install on this two physical servers VMware Workstation software, and then on separate server I will have two virtual oracle databases so I can always move image and try upgrade, patch etc...
Does this create a problem around the base of the network that will be somewhat slower, response, etc? .. Because as you see I work in television and I dont really no day that I can say that they can shut down the base for more than 4 hours ..
Thanks in advance.
Greetings.

How to manage oracle 9i databases from 11g ?

Is there any option similar to 9i OEM's "Add Database to tree" in 11g ?
currently I monitor 30 databases, all running 9iR2, using enterprise manager console. I had removed Oracle 9i from my system to install 11g, so is there anyway to monitor 9i database from 11g or do I have to re-install 9i into a new home ?
My system is Windows XP and most databases are on linux.

What, precisely, do you mean by "11g Enterprise manager console"? Are you talking about a web-based interface? Or a Java-based console application?
If you have not done a separate OEM install, you're most likely using the database control, as web-based interface that allows you to manage a single database. You would need to install the Grid Control in order to manage multiple databases through the same interface.
You're probably right, that's why I asked the question. Perhaps the original poster meant the "10g Enterprise Manager console". Perhaps he meant the "11g Enterprise Manager Database Control". Perhaps he meant the "11g Enterprise Manager Grid Control". Or perhaps he meant something different (i.e. SQL Developer is a console application that ships with 11g and has a variety of reporting scripts).
The OP for the 11g installation could not have possibly made a separate OEM install, OEM is not included in 11g any more and he has not mentioned trying such intall. The OP was clear enough, so IMO there is no confusion, 30 9i databases, 1 11g database. There was not a 10g in between. I would not go so far as to say an 11g grid control, since there is no such grid control, the latest version for grid control is 10.2.0.4.0 for R2 and 10.1.0.3.0 for R1. And SQLDeveloper, yes, it is a java application included with 11g, and you can launch scripts from there, but in no way it is a managing environment the way the OP pretends.

Move database from EMC to NETAPP

Hi,
I have couple of databases on server which is now connected to EMC storage. I need to move database from EMC to NETAPP. Can anyone give me steps to accomplish the requirement.
I am thinking to do following steps:
1). Shutdown the database gracefully.
2). Move all the datafiles, controlfiles and redologfiles to the new NETAPP storage.
3). Startup the database.
are these steps correct?
Because, the server cannot be attached to two storage devices simultaneously. I need to store these files externally right?
Thanks

10.1.0.5 ? That was courageous running ASM and then, in a few years, migrating storage !
BTW, you still haven't confirmed if your NetApp storage requires HBAs or Gigabit NICs ! -- big difference to your "we can't have two HBAs" position.
Also, I strongly advice you to check the NetApp documentation on Best Practices for Oracle. You definitely need to know how to mount the NetApp volumes for Oracle databases !
As for your question about the RMAN command, it is covered in the RMAN documentation :
"Creating a Duplicate Database on the Local Host" at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb.htm#i1006859
(at least in the 10.2 doc set -- you'd have to check your 10.1 doc set and I would advice that you raise an SR with Oracle support asking for confirmation that the same steps apply in 10.1)

Move Database From one location to another in same Server

Hi,
I am using 11 g R2 in OEL 5.
I have installed my database inside oracle base /TEST_DB. Here i have oracle home and datafiles directories etc as usual.
But i need to move this to /UAT/TEST_DB and run the oracle home and database form there.
Is this cloning procedure is enough :- *Cloning An Existing Oracle11g Release 2 (11.2.0.x) RDBMS Installation Using OUI [ID 1221705.1]*
or this is only for Oracle_Home??? If so please tell me how to move both the database and the oracle home.

Hi,
I did this just a week ago, or so. You don't need to clone the instance.
There's a pretty good description on how to do this here:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/RenamingOrMovingOracleFiles.php
However, after doing the steps outlined here, you're still having the same ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE. Do the following:
SQL> alter system create pfile from spfile;and manually change the relevant parameters in the newly created pfile to reflect the changes you're about to do (dump_dest etc..)
Shut down the instance, move all files in your ORACLE_HOME to the new location, and change all relevant environment variables.
connect to your idle instance in the new ORACLE_HOME, and do
SQL> startup pfile=/path/to/your/pfileand after the instance has started correctly, do
SQL> create spfile from pfile;All done!

Changing Database from 11G R1 to 11G R2. Do I reinstall OBIEE 11.1.1.5?

Vista 64, single machine setup. I currently have Oracle 11G R1 Database (11.1.0.7) installed and also OBIEE 11G (1.1.1.5) installed, with its repository in this existing Oracle 11G R1 Database (11.1.0.7). I am now going to uninstall the existing database (11.1.0.7) and do a fresh install of a new Oracle Database 11G R2 (11.1.2.0).
Question: Can I somehow keep my current install of OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and point it to the new 11G R2 (11.1.2.0) database? Or should I uninstall OBIEE 11.1.1.5 also and do a fresh OBIEE 11.1.1.5 install once the new 11G R2 database(11.1.2.0) is installed?
I don't need to maintain anything (data, dashboards, reports, etc) from the existing OBIEE 11.1.1.5 installation. Just looking for advice on the easiest route to take on this. Thanks.

Hi All
I know this is a little bit old post. But wanted to share some information.
1. When a OBIEE Domain is created, it access the rcu schemas using DataSources. These DataSources can be edited from Weblogic Console anytime. Basically these files will have actual RCU Schema details like db host, port, username, password, any JNDI Names. The physical files are located at this location (in typical windows default it will be like this. The value before the user_projects will be different based on the name for middleware home that you give:
C:\Oracle\Middleware115BI\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\jdbc
DO NOT edit these files manually. But login into weblogic console, on left side select services -> ..> and each DataSource, and Connection Pool for each datasource and edit the values to refer to the NEW DB host, port, username, password etc. Do this for all the 4 datasources that you find in above location.
2. Also obiee has something called instance1 that runs the OPMN Services. I am not sure if the rcu db details are reffered here. But if they do then you may have to modify the connection details here also.
If you are starting from scrach for the very first time, then first install Oracle Database. Run RCU Schema to create obiee schemas. Then install OBIEE. Because at one point if you choose to create simple edition, it does prompt for these rcu database details. So maintain this order of installation.
Whether its OBIEE weblogic domain or opmn services, we expect them to refer the rcu details something like usign DataSources which are configurable from console or some other way.
Thanks

How to 'move' databases from one server to another

Hi there
Here is a brief description of my assignment.
We have two Redhat Linux 4 64-bit server where two Oracle 10.2.0.4 64-bit database are running (one on each server).
<li>DB on server1 is using Filesystem for storage.
<li>DB on 2nd server is using ASM.
<li>Size of both is between 75-80GB.
<li>I have to move both the databases to new servers (same platform) with minimum downtime.
<li>There is no upgrade required during this move/migration. Both DBs have to be brought over as-is.
<li>The new servers may be on VMWare - I am not sure it at the moment. But please let me know if that will make any difference.
I would highly appreciate if someone could please provide me with some high-level guidelines to perform this move.
Best regards

Hi Srini
Thank you so much for sharing the valuable URLs.
I am reading through "Cloning An Existing Oracle10g Release 2 (10.2.0.x) RDBMS Installation Using OUI [ID 559304.1]" and I have few questions.
<li> This MOS says:
NOTE: This note should only be used for cloning single-instance (non-RAC) homes. It should not be used for cloning RAC, CRS or ASM homes.If that is the case, how should I clone ASM-Home?
One of the environments that I have to migrate to a new server has ASM installed as well. And couple of oracle databases (10.2.0.5) on that server are using ASM for storage.
<li>If were to do a fresh installation of 10gR2 RDBMS and ASM homes (on Redhat Linux 64-bit), I guess I need to contact Oracle Support (open an SR) to access the software, right?
<li>How to check from existing installation which patches I need to download and apply to this fresh installation in order to make it same as the existing installation? "opatch lsinventory" gives me a long list of number/fixes - I don't know which patch(es) to download.
Please advise!
Best regards

Move Database from one drive to another

Hi ,
I am using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 10g R2 .
I created the database my mistake in D drive , and need to move it to E drive , can someone please guide me about the procedure to do this .
Thanks .

You need to move the datafiles from drive D to drive E. Also you can move the redo log files and controlfies to your desired drive from drive D.
##how to move datafiles.
1. Shut down the database E.G: shutdown immediate
2. Move datafiles by OS commands. mv /oracle/product/dbs/test02.dbf /oracle/oradata/ORALOG/test02.dbf
3. Startup the database in mount state e.g: startup mount
4. Rename that file e.g: alter database rename file '/oracle/product/dbs/test02.dbf' to '/oracle/oradata/ORALOG/test02.dbf';
5. Open the database e.g: alter database open.
##how to drop a redo log group
alter database drop logfile group 1;
## how to add a new redo log group
alter database add logfile group 1 ('/oracle/redofile/disk1/redo0101.log','/oracle/redofile/disk1/redo0102.log','/oracle/redofile/disk1/redo0103.log') size 50M;
To add a multiplexed copy of the current control file or to rename a control file:
1. Shut down the database.
2. Copy an existing control file to a new location, using operating system commands.
3. Edit the CONTROL_FILES parameter in the database initialization parameter file to add the new control file name,
or to change the existing control filename.
4. Restart the database. (by pfile)
5. create spfile from pfile='/oracle/product/dbs/initORALOG.ora';

How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive

Hi, How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive ? please share some link.
Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

Hi Rangnath,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move databased from C drive to D drive.
You can detach Database so that the files become independent, cut and paste the files from source to destination and attach again.
There are two similar posts for your reference:

Moving an Oracle Database from Solaris to AIX

Hi all,
I have been asked to move an SAP system using an Oracle database from
Solaris to AIX (on an IBM P590).
Most of the move is straightforward, except the Oracle database
transfer. It would make my life so much easier if I could simply
restore the Oracle datafiles from an off-line backup of the Solaris
system and then link it to a clean install of the Oracle binaries on
the AIX system, rather than have to do an export and import.
Is this possible, after all the AIX Oracle binaries would be the same
patch level as the Solaris binaries and the file systems would be the
same. Also as it would be an offline backup we would not have to do
any recovery, so the archive logs and the original redo logs would not
be required.
Does anyone know if this is possible or has actually executed it
successfully, any hints and tips on the gotchas would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA
Chris aka BoobBoo

Hello Chris,
unfortunately you didn't write anything about your oracle version or your backup mechanism like RMAN,etc..
I think you will use Solaris on a SPARC architecture and not on x86? (same endian)
If you have RMAN and 10gR2 then you can use the "Database Transport Across Same Endian Platforms":
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/wnbradv.htm
> RMAN now supports the CONVERT DATABASE command, which can prepare a whole database for transport to a new platform that uses the same endian format. Database transport across platforms provides a faster and easier way to move databases from one platform to another than previous solutions requiring the use of Data Pump.
Metalinknote #413586.1 has a FAQ and a step on step guide.
If you have created your tablespaces under Oracle 10g (no oracle upgrade from previous releases!!) you can use the "Transportable tablespace feature" and copy the database files. SAP has published note #1035051 for that.

Stefan

Entreprise Portal : how to move database

hello,
actually my database is located on server1 and entreprise portal on server2
i just want to move the database from server1 to server2
i've restored the database on server2 and changer default.pfl and secu store but i still have a problem with logins not existing in the restored database.
anyone knows how to solve my problem?
best regards

When you move database from one server to another, the users associated by database are not recognized by server 2, these are called as orphan logins.
Please follow this post, for how to fix them.

Move a database from one server to another

Hello All,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 32 bit.
I have 2 servers , LinuxActive and LinuxPassive. I am trying to dismount the file system of the datafiles and control files ... from one server and mount it on the other.
I previously opened a thread here concerning this subject and reached a result that it can be done, now i have questions about the details.
I have installed Oracle software on both servers where ORACLE_BASE is /u01/app/oracle and ORACLE_HOME is /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 on both servers.
I created an orcl database on LinuxActive where all its datafiles, control files, redo logs, flash_recovery_area is on a disk group mounted under /oradata.
I want to dismount /oradata from LinuxActive and mount it to LinuxPassive and start up the orcl database from LinuxPassive instead of LinuxActive.
I may need to revert back /oradata to LinuxActive.
What steps should I do? should I migrate my spfile also to /oradata?
Should I create an orcl database on LinuxPassive?
Do I start up my database like i do when i build an Oracle dataguard database ? from a pfile of the old database?
Regards,

RMAN duplicate will be simpler.
As you are in 11g, you can perform duplicate from active database.
Create PFILE in new location,
Change "CONTROL_FILES" parameter to new mounpoint.
Perform RMAN duplicate
In both the cases you have to take care of parameters, DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT & LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT.
