Move pictures in Jpg from a server to SAP (Oracle database) in BLOB

Hi SAP Friends,
We would like to know if this is possible.
We have pics in jpg/jpeg format in one server. We want to move these pics automatically once every hour to SAP Oracle database in BLOB format. The server has the capability to push these jpg files into BLOB format of Oracle database. We need to know if it is possible to send to SAP's Oracle database and store in BLOB format. If so, pl let us know how.
Pl let us know.

You are facing two things here:
a) Licensing issue
Check Note 581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions:
As of point 3, it follows that direct access to the Oracle database is only allowed for tools from the areas of system administration and monitoring. If other software is used, the following actions, among other things, are therefore forbidden at database level:
Creating database users
Create database objects
Querying/changing/creating data in the database
Using ODBC or other SAP external access methods
This depends on the contract and where you bought which licenses for Oracle.
b) Technical issues
It´s not a good idea to insert data into a SAP database without using SAP tools. Even if it´s a separate table(space) or "isolated" in a SAP understanding. You never know, how upgrades behave with that table, you may see the table in sense of SAP-DDIC consistency (Table without DDIC reference) etc.
If you want to insert JPEGs easily, you can use transaction CSADMIN, create a repository and write a small program, that uploads the data to the database using SAP standard interfaces. This will insure DATA integrity and will make sure, the data is accessible even after database/SAP system upgrades.

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..

Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
Please guide me.
Nith

Nith,
I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
-Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
-Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
-You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
good luck!

Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
First, I was following a tutorial
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
What do I do in this case ?
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply.
After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

Suppose if i am having 5 files with above scenario, i have to fetch all those 5 files at a time and place in my SAP Program.
All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.

How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...

Converting SQL statements from MS server 2000 to Oracle 10g

We are moving over from MS server 2000 to Oracle 10g as our database for Peoplesoft system.
There are several embedded SQL statements that I need to investigate to see what needs converting.
So far I can see a need to convert the following:
Dates. GetDate() to ?
Outer joins. *= to LEFT OUTER JOIN
Has anyone else done a similar exercise and what other functions do I need to convert?
Thanks.

Data length problem migrating from sql server 7 to oracle 8i

I just migrated SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 8i db and everything seemed to have ran ok except that in my newly created oracle database, the field size is doubled. For instance a field with nvarchar(4) in sql server would convert to varchar2(8). Has anyone ran into this problem and also does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you so much.

Hi Roberto,
You cannot use Workbench 1.2.2 to migrate from SQL Server 7 to
Oracle 8.
However, the good news is that we have a new verion of the
workbench that will have a plugin that can migrate from SQL
Server 7.0 to Oracle8.
A beta version will be downloadable from this web-site in approx
one week. Eventhough this version is a beta version, it has
undergone some rigourous testing and is very close to production.

ETL from SQL server 7 to Oracle 8i

I am working on a project which needs constant (daily or weekly) data extraction from SQL server db to Oracle 8i db. The data come from 11 tables, and some logic needs to apply before extraction to make sure only certain set of data is extracted.
Here are a few options that we can think of:
1. Using Oracle Migration Work Bench
2. Using Access as middle layer to do SQLServer--Access--Oracle
3. Write TSQL at SQLServer 7 and push data to Oracle (but our team don't have TSQL skills)
Do anyone has any insight into this issue? I would really appreciate if you can help out!

which will be the best possible way
1) using Db link on oracle server
2) get data into csv file and load using SQL loader
3) get data into csv and load using external table
4) using tool - sql developer
Thanx,
