Move only datafile from windows to linux

Hi all,
I have rdbms 8.1.7 with its datafiles on windows.
I want to keep rdbms on windows platform and move datafiles (dbfiles, controlfiles, redlogs, ecc...) on a linux cluster platform with nfs for communication with windows machine.
Is it possibile?
Is it enough move datafiles and then make ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE 'C:\...' TO '/app/...' or I have to do else?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Alessandro

Hi,
yes, that is fine but follow the steps;-
SQL> shutdown immediate
at System level or OS Level
SQL> mv /old path/datafile.dbf /newlocations/datafile.dbf
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database rename file '/old path/datafile.dbf ' to '/newlocations/datafile.dbf'
SQL> alter database open;
SQL> exit
I had never tested such thing. check whether oracle user had network accesss correctly or not. otherwise you may stuck at while accessig the datafile.

one more thing u can also rename ur database by using nid utility ,So u have no need to recreate the controlfile for changing the name of ur database.just restore all files from primary to new server ,create new service by oradim ,start the instance and then use NID utility.

How to move oracle 9i from windows to linux

i have 200GB database running on windows 2003 server and oracle 9i release 2 database. but now i want to move to linux with same database release. please guide me what to do?

Hi
on windows database you just export your full database with following command.
exp userid=scott/tiger@db_name file=d:\backup\exp01.dmp,d:\backup\exp02.db, ......., d:\backup\exp0n.dmp filesize=1024m full=yes log=d:\backup\export_log.log
you can export your database by sys or system or user who has exp_full_database role
like
grant exp_full_database to scott;
after successfully installation of oracle on linux you create all the users at linux database which are non default users in your windows database.
grant all necessay privileges to these users
grant unlimited tablesapce quota on newly created users at linux database.
after checking all disk space on linux your start import process at linux server. with following command
imp userid=scott/tiger@db_name file=/home/oracle/exp01.dmp,/home/oracle/exp02.db, .......,/home/oracle/exp0n.dmp full=yes ignore=yes
log=/home/oracle/import_log.log
ignore=yes parameter will overwrite those tables and rows which are already present in the new database( linux database).
you can import your database by sys or system or user who has imp_full_database role
like
grant imp_full_database to scott;
after successfully import process you will comile all your indexes constraints, jobs, store procedure because during import process these object become invalid.
you dont worry about linux all oracle command which are run on windows all these commands run on linux.
but oracle installation on linux is different as compare to windows.
following url will guide you for the oracle 9i installation on redhat linux.
http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_elinux.html#st1
hope it will guide you

10gR2 to 11gR2 from Windows to Linux with 6TB Database.

Hi,
I need to do migration from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0 and from Windows to Linux for 6TB database Size. As both Endian format same, I did the migration using RMAN Convert database on UAT but for same 10gR2 version.(Both Source on Target Oracle Version was 10.2.01.0). Now I have to migrate from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0. So it's 2 way process.
is it possible to club these 2 way migration process ???
Are following steps right or any modification is required ??
1) Install 11.2.0.2.0 on Linux OS
2) Open Source Database (Windows) in Read Only. Generate TRANSPORT.SQL, CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN & Pfile.
3) Copy Source datafiles in temporary location on Target OS. Also copy above files.
4) Create dummy controlfile.
5) Startup nomount with Changed pfile
6) Mount database with Dummy Controlfile.
7) Run CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN to convert actual datafiles from Windows Platform to Linux Platform.
8) Shutdown the instance and delele Dummy Controlfiles.
9) Edit TRANSPORT.SQL and do Appropriate Changes like redolog files, datafiles path...
Now my question is, can I add ?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql in TRANSPORT.SQL script after Startup upgarade command so that Complete Upgradation to 11.2.0.2.0 would be done.
10) Then run TRANSPORT.SQL on Target System (11.2.0.2.0)
Tell me if more inputs are required from my side...

Manish

The directory structure is different...that's why you need to create the tablespaces in Linux. e.g. export dump says create tablespace in D:\..., there is no such thing in Linux. You can just export it, install software, create the db, tablespaces in Linux and import into the 10g in Linux.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

HOW TO - move a datafile from one disk to another ?

How can we move a datafile which is part of the big tablespace to another disk.
We have added new Disk to our server - OS windows 2000 / Oracle 9i - 9.2.0.5
We want to move a datafile from D drive to F drive.
Shutdown of the database is possible.
Thanks

Date Formating Issue (moved from Windows to LINUX)

Although the move shouldn't have been an issue, moved an OBIEE installation from Windows to LINUX (Windows is still up) and now have date problems with any drill down into the metrics (SC).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 01-NOV-2007 does not match the specified format. (HY000)

Any Ideas?
Thanks
Scott

SCOTT, I suggest checking step-by-step.
a) check the value of the variable
b) check the value of cast(Dates."Start Date" as timestamp)
c) Check the results by substituting those 2 with someone else (regular integers)....

Printing after Migration from Windows to Linux

We have just migrated 11.5.2 from Windows to Linux. I am not sure how to setup printers. In windows we simply had a UNC pointing to our Windows Printer Server and the Printers Queue. This was in the Printer Column and the Type was HPLJ4SI in the Type column under Install > Printer > Register....like this:
\\MYCOPRT03\PTS2245
Not sure what to put in linux. Currently we are getting this error:
Executing request completion options...

It appears that these links are not savable.You need to refer to the docs in those threads for the steps you have to follow to setup a printer on Linux/Unix.

If the command is available, then it is something with your printer definition -- Issue "system-config-printer" from the command prompt to launch the Printer Configuration Tool and configure your printer at the OS level.

Migration from windows to Linux - JAR files not generating under JAVA_TOP

Hi DBA's
Jar files not generating under JAVA_TOP after migration from windows to linux.
I followed workaround but same in result.
Workaround
Run this command. It will give the missing file
adjava -mx512m -nojit oracle.apps.ad.jri.adjcopy -masterArchive $JAVA_TOP -sync -reportfile javatopfiles.lst
Then run this command
adjava -mx512m -nojit oracle.apps.ad.jri.adjcopy -masterArchive JAVA_TOP -sync -mode APPLY
I have checked in google.

Migrating database from windows to linux using dbca templates

Hi every one,
Is it possible to migrate Oracle10g database from Windows to Linux by using DBCA templates?????????????
If yes please guide me, as i tried it and am getting error while creating database on linux using DBCA templates of Windows server.
Warm regards,
Veeresh.S
(Oracle DBA)

With DBCA you can create a new database, delete a database, create ASM, and manage templates.
There's no option of migrating a database from one platform to the other. If you want to migrate your database from Windows to Linux you have 2 ways of doing it:
1 using IMP/EXP Export you db on windows and Import it on Linux.
2 Use across platform transportable tablespace if you db is already on 10g.

CF8 - move from Windows to Linux - License?

Hi all,
I'm still trying to get this answered by Adobe customer
support, so I figured maybe somebody already knows the answer...
I want to switch a server running CF 8 Standard from Windows
2000 to Linux. Before I begin, I want to find out the CF 8 license
implications. Are keys cross platform? Will I need to request a new
key?
regards,
gc

I went ahead and just did the re-install, and the serial
number originally used for the Windows version worked fine for the
Linux version.
