Oracle 7 to 8 migration

If I use the Oracle 8 cd option for
'oracle7 to oracle8 migration' to migrate
my database from 7 to 8, will that give
me oracle 8 version of database, 8 version of pl/sql, and the 8 version for
sql*plus and objects(for object-oriented
programming)?
Any other important info I will need for
the migration?
Thanks!

In your case, exp/imp is probably your best bet. You will not lose any 8i functionality by doing this, however you will probably want to migrate any long or long raw columns to clobs and blobs eventually.

Runnig forms in oracle 10g after migrating them from oracle 6i

Guyz ....i have developed forms in oracle 6i and when i presented them to the my manager he says that he wants them to be web based.....arghhhh.!!!!!! shud have told me at the beginning itself....anyways i downloaded the forms 10g from oracle website and migrates my forms from 6i to 10g ....
1.The forms are getting compiled and i can run them on my laptop.. i wanna noe whats the procedure to run them on other system .....the port number is 8889
I mean running them on a web on some other LP or system.???
2.And my 2nd problem is that ...The records are not being saved in 10g as in 6i. I created the forms in 6i using the data block wizard and set the block accordingly as told by u people in this forum

Look at the existing formsweb.cfg configuration file located in your <DEVSUITE_HOME>/forms/server folder. It allows you to create different sections to start your Forms applications.
For instance, if you create a application_1 section, give this name in your URL.

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower
Currently we have a database using Oracle 10g XE R2
(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)
on a linux 32bit server.
And recently we did migrate it to another 64bit linux server.
But found after migration is it running slower at 64bit server (~ 25% slower)
1. We would wonder any tuning is required on 64bit server?
Besides, as I know Oracle XE only using single core CPU for processing.
On 32bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31235 @ 3.20GHz
On 64bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
2. Would the CPU clock speed on a single core also made the 64bit Oracle slower?
Thanks a lot.

32 or 64 bit normally won't cause much performance difference as long as you can't use > 4GB RAM
Please note that XE can use only 1 core and 1GB memory.
According to benchmarks, Single Thread Rating of the 2 CPU really differ by around 25%. Quite consistent with your observation.
Of course, IO (i.e., disk) speed is also an important factor.

Oracle SQL Developer vs Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench

Gurus,
Can anybody let me know what's the difference between Oracle SQL Developer vs Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench tools.
I am in the process of Migrating MS-Access Application to APEX. So the example says me to use Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. Is this part of Oracle SQL Developer? If yes, I know SQL Developer is free.
If not is Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench if free?
Thanks and Regards

Thank Oracle ;)
(well, it's the least they can do after you paid big $$$ for the database)
Regards,
K.

Oracle length semantics migration documention

Due to the oracle documention to migrate length semantics:
To convert an existing schema and its associated data from byte semantics and a single-byte character set to character semantics and a multibyte character set, such as UTF-8, you need only follow these steps: [The following steps have been corrected since the magazine was printed.]
1. Export the schema.
2. Issue an ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR SCOPE=BOTH command on the target database.
3. Stop and restart the instance so that the parameter change takes effect.
4. Drop the original schema.
5. Recreate the original schema and its tables (you can use import's show=Y option to get the CREATE TABLE statements). Columns in the recreated tables will use character semantics, because that's now the default.
6. Import the schema into the target database using the IGNORE=Y import option.
What is the meaning of the terms target and original?
Suppose there is a (source) database with length semantics byte. If a (target) database
is to be created as a clone of the (source) database, except for the length semantic char, does one have to migrate the (source) database first?
Or rather, why is it not possible to
1. Export the data from the source database with length semantic byte,
2. Create a target database with length semantics char,
3. Import the data from the source database?)

This documentation is, unfortunately, poorly written.
If you want to migrate data from one database to another, with both databases having different character sets, you can avoid some data expansion issues, if you migrate to character set semantics at the same time.
You cannot just export data, and import it into a character semantics database, because export/import preserves original semantics of the exported tables.
Note: there is actually no such thing as a character semantics database. Character semantics is a column/variable property. The "character semantics database" is a confusing, though commonly used, term that actually means an instance which has NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS set to CHAR in its initialization file. The only significant meaning of this parameter is to be the default for session-level NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS. It is used for sessions that do not set this parameter explictly (through environment variable or ALTER SESSION). The session-level parameter is significant for CREATE TABLE/PROCEDURE/FUNCTION/PACKAGE [BODY] statements and tells the default for column and variable declarations that do not specify BYTE or CHAR explicitly.
To migrate semantics of an original schema you need to create a script that will contain all CREATE statements needed to recreate this schema (at least CREATE {TYPE | TABLE | MATERIALIZED VIEW | PROCEDURE | FUNCTION | PACKAGE [BODY]}). Then, you can just add the ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR after any CONNECT command in this script. You can than run the script in the target database. How you create the script is irrelevant. You can use any reverse-engineering tool available (e.g. SHOW=Y option of import, DBMS_METADATA package, etc.)
After you pre-create the schema with the new semantics, you can import the data from the original (source) database with IGNORE=Y. The original semantics saved in the export file will be ignored for pre-created objects.
Note: PL/SQL may need manual corrections to migrate to character semantics. For example, SUBSTRB used to trim values before assignment may need to be replaced with SUBSTR.

Oracle Application Hardware Migration using Acronis

Hi,
I’m an Oracle Applications DBA and would really appreciate some other DBA input on the following question.
I have a customer that uses Acronis to backup,restore and image Oracle Applications. Their current instance (11.5.6) is running on really old kit. As a test the windows guys have restored oracle Apps onto a brand new server and started the services. This has worked, which is to be expected (that’s what Acronis does).
My question is “Does Oracle support this method of hardware migration using Acronis”. My understanding is that for hw migration either autoconfig or export+import were the only Supported options.
I know that 11.5.6 is unsupported and come to mention it so is their OS and the fact that they use images as clones. This aside I would be interested in other opinions on weather Acronis is strictly for restoring/imaging a duff system or in fact weather it would be supported by Oracle for Hardware migration. ( With some reasoning please).
I have checked metalink with only one hit (643276.992) but this does not directly answer my question
Thanks in advance to anyone who can reply to this.
Cheers
James

Yes you will be able to do that (migrate/upgrade your 10g Forms & Reports applications to 11g Forms & Reports) and deploy on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.
Note that FMW 11g release having Forms & Reports is not yet out. I am not sure about the exact time frame but it is expected to be out sometime this calendar year.
Thanks

Where can I find oracle.toplink.tools.migration.TopLinkCmpMigrator?

Hi All
I am trying to find this class so I can start the toplink workbench - any ideas where I can get it ? its not in the toplink.jar as mentioned in the Oracle documentation
Thanks

From the documentation, it says you have to have
<TOPLINK_HOME>/jlib/cmpmigrator.jar
on the classpath, which is where the oracle.toplink.tools.migration.TopLinkCMPMigrator class can be found.
This is from the 10.1.3 docs at:

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

reproduced and see exception in console, bug logged.

Surely all you need to do is set CLUSTER_DATABASE=FALSE, and start the instance from a non-RAC Oracle home. Then tidy up the cluster registry: use the srvctl utility to remove the RAC database, and add a non-RAC database. All done in ten minutes.

Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

Hi,
I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release. I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

Oracle error while migrating visual studio from 2008 to 2013

im using oracle.dataaccess.dll , and my oracle version is 11.2.0
i migrated from .net 2.5 to .net 4.5 , but iam using dataset in my code
when im running it iam getting the belwo error
An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Oracle.DataAccess.dll but was not handled in user code
can you please help me asap to solve it

Write an event handler that catches the error and outputs the error text. That will help diagnose what the problem is and where the problem is likely occurring.
For example:
            try
                         <DataSet code>
              catch (Exception ex)
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                Console.WriteLine(ex.InnerException);
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Data);

Performance Tuning in Oracle 10g during Migration - Insert Statements

Some of the tables contain a huge data e.g. 7 million records to be migrated.
The table structure of Source Database is different from the Target Database (Where we are doing the migration).
So we have made a use of temporary tables to collect the data from different tables using joins and populate the main table using INSERT INTO tableA SELECT * FROM tableZ
Now the problem statement.
Some of the queries take infinite time and data doesnt get inserted into the main tables. I have seen the explain plan and didnt find anything unusual. The same query works fine when we use date time stamp and restrict the data.
What parameters do we have to take care ? Is there any configuration needed on Oracle Server side ? If yes which parameters?

Lets start with the basics. First what is 10g? Is that 10.1.0.3 or 10.2.0.4 or something else?
Second 7 million records is a relatively small dataset.
No one can possibly help you with no DDL, no DML, no Explain Plan output generated with DBMS_XPLAN.
We can make wild guesses but that is like closing your eyes in a dark room and trying to find the light switch.
Please repost all relevant information so someone can help you.

Oracle Apex to Oracle Apps Forms migration

Is it possible to migrate a form exsisting in Oracle Apex to Oracle apps forms?If so pl tell me how this could be achieved.

Hey men!!
In my opinio in not posible because in oracle Apex you have another kind of programming, and in Oracle forms you others type of tools for example: triggers, I said isn'tr posible because there isn't a tool or an application that can help you in convert from Apex to Form, it's very extrange circumstance.
This is posible but... you have to program, typing and all of anything for converting to Oracle Form if you don't want to do anything you have to pay someone for developing that ,
in others words you have/must (to) start from the beginning,
from zero.
Unfortunately today there is not application that can let you do that.
I hope this helps,
Best Regards my buddy.
