Moving portal database from NT to HP-UX

I am moving an existing 9iAS portal database from NT to HP-UX. 9iAS was already installed on HP-UX and is being used for a forms server and reports server. Do I need to do anything else but simply create a new database and export from NT and import onto HP?

Hi,
You can make use of the Heterogeneous System copy tool available on SMP for this purpose. You will also find a pdf guide for the same.
Cheers!!

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

John

Moving CMS database from one server to another

Using the following:
Crystal Enterprise 10, installed on W2K3 Server R2 (not making any changes to this server);
CMS database, installed on W2K Server, SQL Server 2000, SP3
New database server: W2K3 Server R2, SQL Server 2005, SP2
I found what I think are the steps to moving the database from one place to another in the CE10 Administrator's guide (pages 291-300, but I want to make sure there aren't any "gotchas" when moving the database location and/or upgrading the database version. I'm primarily a DBA, so I already know about the Schema security change going from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
In a nutshell, here's my plan:
1. Take fresh backup of the existing CMS database
2. Stop Crystal Management Server
3. Click "Specify CMS Data Source" on the toolbar.
4. ETC--following the steps in the admin guide
If anyone has done this and has run into any problems (what I'm expecting) or had it go smoothly (I would be surprised), please let me know what to expect.
Thanks!

All you really need to do is stop the crystal services.
Backup the CMS and Auditing database
Detach the CMS and Auditing database
Copy CMS and Auditing databases to new DB server
Attach the CMS and Auditing databases
Set the compatibility mode
On the servers/s that host the CMS service, modify the ODBC connections to point to the new database server
Start the CMS service, fire up the Crystal services.
One thing to note, I don't think SQL 2005 is a supported platform for CE10 - this doesn't mean it won't work and since the support lifecycle for the product is long gone it doesn't really make much difference however you may want to run some thorough testing prior to the move.

Moving Portal app from local box to QA Environment

I am developing a Portal application on my local laptop, using an Oracle database
as the Portal database. When I move to my QA environment and then to Prod, how
do I move the information from regarding the desktops, entitlements etc?
Thanks
Kartik.

Hi, Kartik:
There is a Propagation Utility available on BEA's dev2dev site that you can
use for this purpose. There is a WLP 4.0/7.0 version (which must run as a standalone
WLS 7.0 application), and both a GA and SP2 version for WLP 8.1 (which are enterprise
apps you deploy on the source and destination WLP servers). Links are:
4.0/7.0: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/portalprop.jsp
8.1 GA: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/portalprop81ga.jsp
8.1 SP2: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/portalprop81sp2.jsp
(note that there was no 8.1 SP1 release of WLP).

Exchange 2010 - Moving mailbox database from exchange 2010 server to another exchange 2010 server

Hi,
I have a current existing exchange server running on 2008 R2. apparently the partition that holds the mailbox database is getting full and i need to move some user mailboxes to another environment ( exchange 2010 running on 2008 R2). i transferred some users
successfully to the new location, but am not able to transfer the rest. I am getting the errors:

Moving a database from windows oracle xe to linux oracle 10g Enterprise

I tried exporting my database in windows oracle xe over the network to oracle 10g Enterprise Edition on a linux platform but I got the following error message:
---10.0.2.0 not compatible.
I then did a local export in windows and moved the dumpfile to linux and I got the following error message:
---Bad dumpfile
Please kindly assist me with a suggestion on how to migrate my database.
Thanks.
Lauretta.

Which version of Oracle do you run on windows?
I think, you didn't move the dump file using binary option on linux and that is why you got 'bad dump'.
Make sure you ftp the file in binary mode.

Moving exporting Portal Database

Hi,
I have an ias9i v1.0.2 istalled on on Compaq Tru64 Unix ( node A ) and the portal schema's v3.0.6.6.5 installed on an oracle v8.1.6 database on another
Tru64 Unix box ( node B ).
The Unix box where I have the portal database is a low configuration one.
I have another Tru64 Unix box with a better configuration and I have a fresh 8.1.7 database installed on it ( not 8.1.6 ) ( node C ).
I want to move / copy / export the portal database from node B to node C with
minimum steps.
Can I do it this way?
1- take full export of database on node B.
2- do full import on node C.
2. Run "SSODATAN" from node A to connect to node C instead of B.
3. Grant Connect through... privilage.
will this work or am I missing some steps here?

How to access the portal database ?

Hi ,
1. How to access the portal database from an abstract portal component program ?
2. How to insert data to the Table from the abstract portal component program ?
Please provide me some direction to proceed .
plz send me the steps how to access the Database using SQL.
Thanks
Smita
Edited by: Smita Mohanty on Nov 14, 2008 9:21 AM

Hi Smita,
In case your portal has MS SQL server as its databse, then I am giving the step by step directions to achieve 90% of what you wish to do. Rest 10% you can try on your own.
Go through my article given below:
[How to Create a Web Service using Enterprise JavaBeans|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10]
First go through pages 1-12 which will help you to create user/table in MS SQL database as well as create a data source in Visual Admin. Page 19 will give you the code which you can use in your Portal component to access the tables you have created in your SQL database.
I hope your problem gets solved.
Bye

Moving Custom Database to Native Sharepoint Database Server

Hi,
What are Microsoft recommendations on moving custom database from one SQL node to native node containing sharepoint content database.
Are there any limitations or disadvantages of moving the custom database to content database server.
Regards, Ketan Gandhi

The general advice is not to. SharePoint doesn't play nicely with other applications (at least at the SQL level) and you're complicating the performance analysis aspects a lot.
It also often involves harming the SharePoint security model by granting other service accounts and support staff permissions on the SharePoint databases. You've then got potential performance problems when either of the two applications is heavily loaded.
Your SharePoint SQL instance may be using a custom Collation, which probably won't hurt anything but you can get odd behaviour if you end up with multiple DBs from different collations.
You must keep the Max Degree of Parallelism at 1 for SharePoint, even if this hurts your custom App.

Moving Custom Database to Native Sharepoint Database Node

Hi,
What are Microsoft recommendations on moving custom database from one SQL node to native node containing sharepoint content database.
Are there any limitations or disadvantages of moving the custom database to content database server.
Regards, Ketan Gandhi

Hi Ketan,
I suggest you provide more information about your requirement for further research.
If you want to use the custom database data in SharePoint, we can use Business Connectivity Services (BCS) in SharePoint 2010 to achieve it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee819133.aspx
If you only want to move the custom database to the database server of the SharePoint in order to use in other ASP.net web application, we can use "Attach..." or "Restore Database...". And then check
the performance of the server.

Best practice for moving portal solution using content db from UAT to PROD

Hi,
Would like to know can we backup the database from UAT env. and restore the same to PROD. if all of my functionality is working fine in UAT env.
I have event receivers[web level features], site collection level features,custom web parts, custom permissions, saved site templates, custom discussion forums etc.
Assuming that I have my custom solution deployed on the Prod. which will activate features for those web parts and my custom application page features.
Is there any issues I can anticipate in PROD.env, if i perform this activity.
or
Is this approach not recommended by Microsoft ? if yes , whats the best approach for deploying portal solution in PROD?
Should I create teh web application, site collections, everything in PROD.from scratch.
any links regarding this approach and the bext practices / helpful info is appreciated.

Thanks Trveor for the reply.
so, I can go ahead and create the web applns, site collections and deploy my web parts, item event receivers, appln pages and my timer jobs in UAT and take the backup of the same and restore it in PROD env.
But, i ahve a doubt here , as I have few site pages created it in my site template and when i take the backupof this web apppln's content db --- [ i think i can take the backup of web appln content db through power shell] ----
will the site pages also be part of this backup?
I had some experience in prev.version of SP, wherein i have few site pages and saved site template I have taken the backup of the web appln and restore it in another farm and associate the restored content db to the
newly created web appln in the targeted farm.
But when I navigated to thsoe restored site pages, it gave me "resource not found /file not found " error.
I had deployed the custom web parts as a custom wsp and added into those site pages.
and it failed to load those web parts UI.
I was not sute whether this happened because of backup or restore from source spfarm to the targeted sp farm .

Moving the Portal Database

I have attempted to move the portal database onto another host machine.

8. save this action!!!!
9. exit and restart the configtool and look if its connecting to the new DB Server
10. exit the confconfigtool.
11. start your SAP System

thx kEndE

Hi Andreas,
I've changed the permissions to 775 and changed the ownership of /sapcd (volume name) to orasid:dba (including all files within the staging area /sapcd/ora-patch).
So the permissions and ownership seems to be fine.
I've also ran your suggested commands but the issue still exists.
I'm now liasing with our UNIX guy to check if there is any underlying permission issues on the volume (sapcd) that may be causing this problem.
In the mean time, let me know if you have any further thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris
