Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3

Hi,
We are planing to move few of our Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 on another server. Will offline backup/restore work in this case ? The databases are fairly big (> 1 TB each). Looking for some advice.. Thanks.

Hi Kamran,
As the DBs are fairly large ( approx. 1 TB each), how long it would take to copy the databases to the target server using RMAN DUPLICATE .. ? Do you think offline backup/restore would be a better approach ? Both the source and target boxes are co-located in the same data center. Thanks !
Rgds,
HimansuI assume that RMAN will be more faster than hard copy/paste (cold backup). I can't say how much it will probably take to take RMAN DUPLICATE, but it should be faster than cold backup

  • Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server

    I want to move my oracle 9i database residing on AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server.
    The database residing on AIX server has the following features :-
    1. It is a production database.
    2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.
    3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.
    4. It has one schema,around 700 tables & 129 views.....etc
    5. Huge downtime is affordable.
    What is the safest way to do so ??
    Yachendra

    Hi Yachendra,
    1. It is a production database.
    2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.By the way do you have any idea that PRODUCTION databases are always kept in ARCHIVE LOG Mode. It's is highly advice able.
    3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.If you are really serious about your data and don't want to lose anything and wants to perform CROSS PLATFORM you must make sure that you have all your achive logs.

    To move/migrate the 11i Apps Database alone means you need to follow the export/import method.
    Please refer the note: 362205.1 "10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i"
    In general steps to follow the DB migration is :
    1. create the complete export file in source database
    2.create a new DB in the target instance
    3.perform the import
    4.create the new auto-config and sync with apps tier

  • Moving oracle 9i database from windows 2000 to windows 2003 server

    hi everybody,
    plz provide me a solution how to move oracle 9i database from windows 2000 server to windows 2003 server with step by step and also with commands plz as i am very new to oracle
    thanks in advance
    suresh

    Install 9i on windows 2003 server and patch to the same level as the Oracle on Windows 2k
    Shutdown and make a cold backup of your old database. That includes datafiles, controlfiles, redo files, init file (spfile)
    Copy and put these files to the exact same directory structure/location, for example if old file is under D:\oradata\mysid\ then the file on new file should be under same directory. (If you are using Network Storage that make things easier, just mapping to the same drive letter.)
    Also make sure archive log dest and all dump dest directories are created. You don't have to copy all old logs and dump files over.
    Use oradim to create a new service for the database instance
    http://www.psoug.org/reference/oradim.html
    Set proper ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID envionment varibles
    Run netca to configure listener, actually copy listener.ora and tnsnames.ora to $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin will do
    Try to start the database

  • Porting Forms/Reports when migrating Oracle 9i DB from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    Looking for advice on how to port Oracle Forms/Reports modules when moving our Oracle 9i database from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 platform. Details are as below:
    Oracle Forms and Reports v6i (There is no version upgrade in Forms & Reports)
    Database is Oracle 9i (No upgrade in database)
    There is upgrade in hardware only : from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3
    The application is having some 8000 forms/reports modules
    Do we need to recompile the forms/reports after porting the 9i database to AIX 5.3 ?
    Any direction would be appreciated .. Thanks !!
    Regards,
    Himansu

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response, we are going to recompile the Forms/Reports in the new environemnt.
    Just wondering how much time it may take to recompile all the 8000 odd forms/reports modules.. ? Will 10 seconds per form/report module be safe enough for the compilation ? Because in a batch file every time it is going to connect to the database while compiling a module, I am assumming it may take some 5 seconds to 10 seconds for the compilation. Thanks for the help again.

  • Steps to export and import oracle 10g databse from AIX to AIX and LINUX

    Hi,
    I need the steps to export the oracle 10g database from AIX server to AIX server and LINUX server.
    Please give me all the steps as this is my first exort an import activity.
    thanks,

    For 10g there exist two ways to do so.
    1) Regular exp/imp.
    2) Data pump expdp/impdp.
    As this is your first export and import activity, relevant concept understanding is mandatory for you.
    Documentation Link
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
    Read the chapters 1,2,3 (Data pump expdp/impdp) and 19 (regular exp/imp). Good luck.

  • Migrate oracle 9iR2 database from Suse to Red Hat???

    Hi Everyone,
    We're going to move an oracle 9iR2 database from Suse to Red Hat. At this moment I don't know the detail about the platforms yet. I still like to ask a question if DB backup on Suse is compatible on RedHat? Physical restoring may be our prefer instead of exp/imp.
    Any advices?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    I'm pretty sure (never did it myself) that there will be not problem when moving the database. The Oracle software is the same (at least when you use the x86 version) so
    the format of the datafiles and controlfiles should be identical.
    However some configuration files (network settings) might differ so try before you die :-)

    I want to connect to Oracle 8i database from weblogic 10.3 application server. I found a classes12. zip file on Oracle.com to use as driver for the same.
    I am also connecting Oracle 9i database from the app server. Now if i replace the classes12. jar from the lib folder won't it disallow me to connect to the Oracle 9i database.
    2ndly the claases12.zip file i found from the site is for jdk 1.2 will it create any problems. Please let me know
    Kindly let me know what is the standard procedure to install a new driver in Weblogic 10.3.

    I tried to install weblogic 10.3 using jdk 1.5.07 but. it is not supported. Moreover from the sites also i found that it's only the application wars and ears compiled in jdk 1.5 need not be recompiled in 1.6. But no reference of jdk 1.5 is there.
    I tried to use thin client from the code and connect to Oracle 7i
    i got the following exception.

  • How to connect to an Oracle XE database from Forms

    Hello,
    I have just installed Oracle XE on my computer. After that I downloaded Oracle Developer Suite. My intention is to build programs with Forms. This forms program shall manage data stored in my Oracle XE database.
    My question is: How to connect to the Oracle XE database from forms. In forms developer I have tried to connect the database with the command Ctrl+J. Then I registered username, password and oracle instance (orcl). It will not work!
    best regards

  • 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 Migrate the database from AIX 4.3 oracle 7  to another Aix 5.3

    Hi,
    This is the scenario.
    Oracle 7 runs in AIX 4.3 now the client wants to upgrade to a new machine with
    oracle 10gr2 in AIX 5.3 .
    AIX 4.3 in production now.
    AIX 5.3 and oracle 10gr2 installed now.
    is there any other possibility other than export to migrate to new server.
    Regards
    Elamaran

    Sorry to disappoint you :( It's the same thing as with my car - If it's not without fuel I turn the key and drive ;)
    Confined to the development database instance, writing packages is the only thing I'm allowed to do (even forbidden to use some of the Oracle supplied ones).
    There are other guys having to do the rest.
