Need help in Migration of data !

We developed a application using Apex and currently it is going through client testing.
There is one challenge at client side; there are some third party legacy inventory systems at client side where there is data stored in databases like Paradox, SQL server, XML the customers have been using them for last 10 to 15 years.
Now there is some amount of data where they enter into those system; we want to extract some of the data and show in our application. Ours is a hosted On Demand application we need to migrate the data from the client machine and push into our server so that they can view the data online. And we want to run a scheduler every day to extract the data .
Do you have any idea how we can do this in APEX or any tool that can support our need.
Did you hear about spectral.com (full convert)
I really appreciate your help on this.

Hi,
it is not too difficult to load data into a database using only Apex tools, but the problem with this is that it can't be completely automated, as at some stage, a user would have to do a manual file upload.
In order to achieve completely automated upload you would need access at a lower database and database server O/S level as well as have direct connectivity between your Apex server and the legacy source systems. As your Apex system is a "hosted On Demand application" you may be severely limited in your access at those levels.
Depending on your access, you would typically extract and load data from other non-oracle sources using technologies like Oracle's heterogeneous Gateways or third party odbc connectivity and use database links. Or you could automate files to be dropped from the legacy systems to somewhere that is accessible to the destination system where it could be loaded using tools such as SQL Loader or External Tables. This could be scheduled using tools such as cron or dbms scheduler.
I know this is very general, but I hope it points you in the right direction.
Regards
Andre

    Your syntax is wrong - look at the post above where this syntax is given:
    to_char (add_months(r.formdate,12), 'MM/DD/YYYY') "formdate2"Look at the formula from a logical perspective - "inside out" to read what is happening -
    take formdate, add 12 months
    add_months(r.formdate, 12)then apply the to_char format mask - basic syntax
    to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY')Compare to your syntax:
    to_char(add_months(r.formdate, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),12) "formdate2"You will see your format string inside the call to add_months, and your 12 inside the call to to_char.
    Good luck!

  • Need help in migration from Layer2 to layer3

    HI Guys
    Need u r help in migration from layer2 switched network to layer3.
    here is the setup there are 9 sites connected with a 10gig backbone in a ring.each site has a 6513 but at the data centre site we having two 6513.we are having a combination of voice and data vlans.at present all the sites are connected with layer2 trunks.all the trunks are teminated at the core ie datacentre site.so how should i procedd and what are the advantages of it ie migration.
    Thanks
    Mahmood

    For this migration you first need to assign IP addresses to your connections between switches. This could be /30 (or /31, if supported) subnets. You should also consider running some dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF between switches.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need Help with Migration...Please

    Hello,
    I need help!  I just bought a new MacBook Pro.  In house, I have a two year old iMac running Mavericks (all updated) and an iPhone and iPad (both running the most current OS).  I also have the iMac connected to a Time Capsule.  Here are my questions:
    1.  As I am not replacing the iMac, but rather adding a MacBook Pro to the mix, should I migrate the software, settings, files, etc. from the iMac to the MacBook?  Is there an issue running computers which are clones in the same environment?  Is it a bad idea to migrate?
    2.  Assuming # 1 is okay to migrate, what is the best way?  Is it best directly from the iMac or from the Time Capsule?  I do have a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter on hand. 
    3.  Is there a link that would help me navigate the migration?
    4.  How long should the migration in #2 take?
    5.  Will I need to change any settings on the iMac, iPhone, or iPad afterwards?
    6.  Will my contacts and calendar sync with iCloud automatically, or do I have to change a setting on the MacBook to make that happen?
    7.  Also, as I'm leaving town tomorrow and want to take the MacBook Pro with me and I'm unsure I've the time to Migrate and tweak, can I jus turn on the MacBook (still not turned on), use it as it is, and then migrate when I get back home?
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Thank you!

  • I need help parsing a  swift data string

    i need to parse swift financial data
    is there a way to use split or stringtokenizer for ::
    and keep the :: as part of the new seperated data.
    i want to put each string starting with :: on a seperate line in a text box.
    i gave up and tried it with a loop and a stringbuffer , and indexof.
    if (line.indexOf("::") == Strpos ){
    frame.jTextArea1.append(displayline.toString());
    displayline = new StringBuffer();
    displayline.append(line.substring(Strpos, (Strpos + 2)));
    Strpos += 2;
    if (line.indexOf("::") != Strpos ) {
    displayline.append(line.substring(Strpos, Strpos + 1));
    System.out.println( displayline);
    Strpos++;
    but i cant get that to work either.
    if anyone knows how to parse swift data please give me your email address.
    i've been doing it in cobol for 15 yrs and i just cant get the cobol techniques to translate to java.
    thanks.

    as i said
    i am really a cobol guy
    and yes as you see i did try to use indexof in my code.
    but there must be something about indexof that i'm not getting.
    it works the first time in the loop but then as i increment my start position(strpos)
    the indsex of no longer works.
    am i using the correct technique to increment the start position thru the string buffer.
    thanks guys.

  • Need help in migrating data from SQL Server to Oracle

    Hi,
    I've created a database link in my Oracle Database 11g Express Edition connecting to our SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Database. Now, I'm having issues on migrating some fields. Mostly Text field in SQL Server to CLOB in Oracle. I've created a PL/SQL Procedure to do this but somehow these columns don't get all the value.
    For example:
    In my sql server, I have a table SQLTBL with a field REMARKS of TEXT data type. It has the following value.
    This is line 1.
    This is line 2.
    This is line 3.
    Now I created a table ORCLTBL in oracle with field REMARKS of CLOB data type.
    In my procedure I do something like.
    begin
      for i in ( select "remarks" rem from "dbo"."sqltbl"@sqldb )
      loop
        insert into orcltbl ( remarks ) values (i.rem);
      end loop;
      commit;
    end;
    /When I select the data from oracle it will only show "This is line 1" and disregard the values after the new line character.
    Is there a way to make this work?
    Thanks,
    Allen

    Does the above mean, you have Three records or it is One record spanning in Three lines?

    Probably, assuming that there is only One record, SQL server is sending the data as separate rows as opposed to a Single Row.
    Can you provide the Output of below when executed from Oracle terminal? (I hope you understand the motive of query, and pardon my knowledge of SQL Server if the query below does not work :) )
    select count("remarks"), "remarks" rem from "dbo"."sqltbl"@sqldb group by "remarks";

  • Need help on migrating data

    My client uses a different system and wants to migrate to SAP BO (well,
    good news).
    SAP BO system is being created and CofA, BP Master and Item Master are
    all imported.
    I have a question regarding transaction records.
    Client wants to import all the transaction, both closed and open
    transactions.
    I would normally go importing only Open Sales Orders and Open Invoices,
    Open Credit notes, etc. However, client wants to have all the record of
    closed transactions as well.
    Client wants to have the links as well. That is, to be able to see which
    (closed) invoice is based on which (closed) sales order, credit memo.
    Is this possible? This obviously affect inventory as well. Is there SAP
    recommendation?
    Is there any documentation available?

    Thanks for you input.
    I can use BaseEntry, BaseLine and BaseType in the template Documents_Lines to import marketing document and make a link to base and target document as Thibault says.
    Does anyone know how it affects inventory? The company is using moving average for inventory valuation.

  • Need Help on Configurations of Data Services on IBM AIX Platform

    Hi All,
    We are in the process of installing Data Services XI 3.2 on IBM AIX platform.We are having some showstoppers which we are not able to resolve.
    It would be of great help to us if anyone can give some inputs.
    Lanscape:
    Data services server: Server A
    OS - AIBM AIX
    DB2 Database: Server B
    OS - AIBM AIX
    Activities Performed till now on DB2 Side:
    Multi user development:
    1.       Created 2 DBu2019s on Server B
    ·          REPO_CR (Central Repository u2013 Which is used for multi-user environment).
    ·          REPO_LR (Local Repository u2013 Which is used for actual development like login and build   jobs).
    2.       Created multiple schemas under REPO_LR(One Schema for each user).
    ·          User1, User2, User3, etcu2026 (These schemas can hold metadata of Data Services XI which can be used for reference).
    Each and every schema should have itu2019s their own user name and password
    Activities Performed till now on Data Services Side:
    1.Installed Dataservices
    Activities Yet to be done on Data Services Side:
    1.Configure Repository manager (Create central repository REPO_CR of type sucure using repository manager)
    2.Configure Job Server(Create a Job server and assign the local repository REPO_LR to the same)
    Issues:
    While creating the central repository usning the below command:
    ./repoman -UCRREP -Ppassword -SServer B -NDB2 -QREPO_CR -tcentral -c -a -d
    an error ocurred as :"Error while creating the Local Repository"
    I think we are getting this error because of some connectivity issue between DB2 server and Data services Server.
    Please share all of your valuable thoughts.
    Note:Our DB2 admin said we cannot create any ODBC connections on AIX platform
    Thanks,
    Muni

    the arguments that you are passing to repoman are not correct, if your server name has space then you should enclose that in quotes, else it will be treated as 2 arguments, you are passing -SServer B it should be -S"Server B"
    -SServer B
    I don't think you need to pass -Q option for DB2, its required only for Sybase Repo
    for DB2 you will have to install the DB2 Client, and create a Node and Catalog the database on that node
    if you are able to open DB2 command prompt form the unix and use that database, then try using the following args to create DB2 Repo
    -Uusername -Ppassword -NDB2 -SDBName -tcentral -c -a -d
    or better use Repository Manager from Windows to create repos
