Oracle 11g on Unix server needs to write files (.csv) on Windows server

Hi,
Currently we are using Oracle 10g which is installed on a Unix server and on the same server there is a directory under which some files are being exported/downloaded by the db.
We are having DEDICATED DB INSTANCE on the SHARED server, and not a DEDICATED SERVER.
Now we need to migrate from Oracle 10g to 11g, but due to some complaince issue, we have been asked to create those directories on some other server. We have identified a Windows server and can create directories.
Now I request any expert to pls suggest/guide me that how can the db (on Unix server) export/write files on another Windows server?
I read in a thread that the server (where files should be exported) should be MOUNTED on the server where db is physically installed.
Pls help me here.....

Or if network connectivity to the remote server fails? Or if there is severe network congestion between the Oracle server and remote server? What then?
How is the process on the local server suppose to deal with errors when it attempts to create a CSV file on the remote server? Or deal with network bottlenecks that results in severe performance degradation when trying to create a CSV file? Or if there lacks freespace for creating the CSV file?
What about security? How is the local Oracle server to authenticate itself with the remote server? How is the remote server to protect that directory share against unauthorised access?
How is this remote server going to provide access to authorised s/w to these CSV files?
Who (local or remote processes) is going to manage this directory share and ensure old CSV files are deleted and that there is sufficient freespace for new CSV files?
There are a LOT of questions that need to be asked... BEFORE deciding on HOW technically to do it. As the technical decision will be based on the functional requirements and how to best meet these.
Technically - there is Samba, NFS, FTP, SFTP, SCP, RDIST and a number of other methods that can be used. But without asking the above questions and getting proper business answers, selecting a specific technical method is very much premature.
You are asking the wrong questions, and in the wrong forum. You need to determine the business requirements first.

Transfering data from oracle table to a file on a windows server

Hi
I have an oracle DB version 11.2 running on oracle enterprize linux 5.9. I would much appreciate an suggestions on how to transfer data from the oracle DB to a flat file on a windows server.
What i have done so far is to use utl_file to create a csv file on the oracle server and am now attempting to transfer this file. I was going to use scp or rcp but am unable to get this to work(was looking at filezilla). Another option i can use is ftp as i have a unix script which i can run to do this. All this is done through an oracle package which is run hourly through dbms_scheduler. I have been using sp_host_command to run unix commands directly from pl/sql so can use this to run a unix script for last resort if i cant find an easier way to automate this.
Any suggestions or options would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Gary

Well, using DBMS_SCHEDULER you can run o/s commands so you could use that to do your FTP or whatever to move the file.
Alternatively, you could write your own FTP package using the built in UTL_TCP package, or you can get hold of one of the freebie packages people have made available to do the same e.g.
ORACLE-BASE - FTP From PL/SQL in Oracle in Oracle

IDOC to File Port on Windows Server from Unix SAP System

Hi All:
I want to use an IDOC to create a text file on a Windows server. The SAP system runs on Unix. I have no problem creating the text file on the same Unix server running the SAP instance but I can not figure out how to write the file to a share or UNC path on a Windows server. I tried to create a logical file path using transaction FILE and then create a logical port in WE21. The IDOC failed because it is still looking on the Unix server to write the file. Any ideas from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, there are probably lots of ways to skin this cat.
To make the process asynchronous you probably want to be along the lines of either updating a table or placing a file on the Windows machine, and then having a database process or Windows program to watch for the file or database table entry and triggering your bat file when it appears.

Scripting file copy to windows server

Hi all,
We need the ability to copy files from the Mac G5's running 10.4.x to a windows based server (2003) across our LAN. Looked at scripting Terminal but it does not seem to support apple script the way I would like - ie copy /file to //server.
The reason we need to do the copy like this is to prevent resource forks and the .ds_store from coping as well, more of a unix copy. These hidden files are really messing up the system we are coping to (SQL DB).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Bill

I don't know enough about Visual Basic to feel
competant to run a script to do this. I disagree with
the statement that there is "nothing to fix" however.
These dot files litter our Windows server and even
with Blue Harvest running I am constantly having to
use the Server Management Console to close these dot
files so that our real files can be moved, copied, or
deleted because when the server sees these as open it
sees the real file as open even when it isn't.
I had the option of FSM (File Services for Macintosh)
with the server, but we have thousands of files that
would have to revert back to 31 character filenames.
Rather than do that, I chose to stick with the SMB
protocol. It's a right pain getting it to work and
then we have the dot files on top of it. It wouldn't
be an issue with a Mac server, but I don't have one.
So, in my view Apple still has not fixed this.
I'm glad I asked the question though, because I made
the assumption that Tiger fixed this. Since it hasn't
I have yet another reason to stay in Panther.
And what happens with the files that still need resource forks? They're are still a Mac applications out there that make use of metadata. How are you going to selectively decide which metadata to preserve? Have ever had to help a user whose files suddenly turned into "unix executable" files after copying them to a server? You'll quickly realize that there are instances when metadata must be preserved.

Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
aa

I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

[Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
Analysis
Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report:
Figure 1.
In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
Produces
You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
Figure 4.
2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
Method 1: Using Server Manager
1) Open Server Manager, click
Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
2) In Features,
uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
“Import-Module ServerManager”
“Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
or
“Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.

Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows Server 2008 R2 domains

   Hello to all, there are two confliting articles about this topic:
   1-
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/upgrade-domain-controllers-to-windows-server-2008-r2(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Whatsnew : this one says that it does not work "The Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows
Server 2008 R2 domains". This article was updated in 2013.
   2-
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692314(office.13).aspx: this other article says that it will function "Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat will function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest". This article was updated in
2010 and was refered by the first one.
   What is the correct support position for Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains?
   Regards, EEOC.

Hi,
I notice the following sentence in the link below “Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Group Chat will not function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest or when Group Chat member servers are joined to a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain.
We know of an issue with changes in Windows 2008 R2 that requires a Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfix. The Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfixes are currently scheduled for mid-April 2010.”
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/11/06/supportability-for-office-communications-server-2007-r2-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
So in my opinion, if you update to the latest version of Windows Server 2008 R2, OCS Server 2007 R2 and Group Chat Client, Group Chat Admin Tools to the latest version, it should work.
However, the best method for you is make a lab to test the problem firstly.
Best Regards,
Eason Huang

It is too bad that you cannot read the Installation Guide, wherein is listed the versions of Linux that are certified for Oracle. Sometimes it would be handy ... to find out that Oracle does not support their products on Ubuntu.

What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
So I want to ask these 2 questions :
1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
Thanks alot.

I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

Install Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack to Windows Server

Hi,
I am completely new to Oracle - I have used My SQL in the past and I am coming from a windows Background. I have just downloaded Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack for Microsoft. Now this has gave me about 30+ Zip folders - how do I install this? I would be used to seeing/running just a simple setup.exe file. Is this not the case? I have attempted to read online about how to do this - I have read the following link - http://oraclelabs.com/index.php/2011/05/19/installing-oracle-applications-e-business-suite-r12-on-windows-xp-windows-2003-server/
I wish to install to Windows Server2008 R2
Now it mentions downlaoding Cygwin, Perl, etc. Do I need to do all this in order to install - all the files that are zipped up - where/how should they all be extracted too - under one common folder, etc - apologies if this is very trivial.
If any more information is required I would be happy to provide.
Many Thanks

When you state that the forum is not friendly I hope you mean the layout etc, as I think that people who give up their own time to help others are most friendly.
You could try the Windows Server section?

Physical Path in File Adapter for Windows Server

Hi There,
I am trying to read a file from a directory on a windows server and write it to the same server in a different directory.
In the file adapter I gave the value for physical path as below:
"\\10.xx.34.xxx\Share\input".
However I am getting below message in the debug:
"Value specified for input Physical/Logical Directory is not a directory or is not readable."
Hence my question is what should be the value in the physical path for windows server.
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for your reply again.
Actually they are not on the same file system.
I have successfully used FTP Adapter to connect to a UNIX server.
However is it possible to use FTP Adapter for Windows Server. If so how should be the corresponding JNDI defined.
I am getting below error when I use FTP Adapter for Windows Server:
Unable to send file to server. [Caused by: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.]
; nested exception is:
ORABPEL-11429
Error sending file to FTP Server.
Unable to send file to server. [Caused by: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.]
Please ensure 1. Specified remote output Dir has write permission 2. Output filename has not exceeded the max chararters allowed by the OS and 3. Remote File System has enough space.
Please Advise.
