Oracle 8i/9i to Oracle 11g

Hi Experts,
I have few exp dumps from earlier version of oracle 8i & 9i, now i wanted to import in oracle 11g.
So will you please tell me how to do or please provide some URLs/Docs to refer ?
I have read MOS Doc 132904.1 do from where i can get earlier exp/imp client and how to use on oracle 11g DB server ?
Thank you

When importing older dump files you don't have to use an old client. You can just use the imp client that came with your database.
imp help=y
will help you with some of the syntax.

Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

Hi Deepak/Folks,
Another question that I have is that while doing the Oracle Upgrade on an EP server, the patches were not installed properly and I had to shut down the Patches installation after it did not do anything for a while.
Now when I try to install the patches it fails telling me that the Installed patches cannot be verified, I had written to SAP and they told me to follow the
SAP note 1862446 - Inventory
load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home
and re-create the oracle inventory.
This has also not helped in anyway.
Is there a solution to this problem.
Following is the error that I am getting when I try to Install the patches
Getting pre-run patch inventory...
Getting pre-run patch inventory...failed.

Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

Need help regarding upgrading Oracle 10g Forms to Oracle 11g Fusion Middlew

Hi All,
I am trying to create a workshop on a VM for showing the migration / upgrading of Oracle Forms 10g to Oracle 11g FMW using the Upgrade Assistant tool available in <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/ua.bat.
As per my understanding of pre-requisites:
1)     I need to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g on my VM.
2)     I also need to install Oracle SOA Suite 11g on my VM.
3)     I need to install Oracle Forms/Reports Services 10g on my Oracle SOA Suite 10g installation.
4)     I need to run Oracle Forms/reports installer on my Oracle SOA Suite 11g installation.
5)     I need to run upgrade assistant tool on my VM to upgrade my form from source(Oracle SOA Suite 10g) to destination(Oracle SOA Suite 11g). Is it mandatory for this migration that I should have Oracle SOA Suite 10g and Oracle SOA Suite 11g on the same system ?
Having all these software installed on one VM would be difficult. So just wanted to check can I avoid any software to install on VM ?
If there is any alternative suggestion then please let me know.
Regards,

What do you want to do with the SOA-suite? At least for Froms10G is is not necessary.

Porting from Oracle 10g AS to Oracle 11g Weblogic server

Hi,
I am trying to port J2EE applicatin from Oracle 10g AS to Oracle 11g Weblogic Server. I have jsp files which contains sql code embedded to fetch data from the DB. The components used in this application are Java, JSP, Servlets and Stateless session beans.
I have a commonjar which is used to create DB Connection manager and other common stuff which is present inside web-inf/lib. My application is packaged as an ear and which contains the war and different ejb-project.jar files. When the Stateless bean is trying to call the ConnectionManager class, which is present inside the commonjar inside web-inf/lib, I get InvocationTargetException. When I debugged in Eclipse, I see that that inside ejb the reference ConnectionManager, the variable cannot be resolved. So I guess at runtime, ejb is not able to locate ConnectionManager Class.
I tried to copy this jar to APP-INF/lib and the same jar is present inside web-inf/lib as well. In that case what happens is the jsp fails with the exception ConnectionManager cannot be resolved.
How can I make the ejb work by keeping the commonjar inside web-inf/lib alone.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks
Raj

The classloader hierarchy in WLS looks like this (arrows denote inheritance direction):
Java bootstrap classloader <- Java CLASSPATH classloader <- WLS $DOMAIN_HOME/lib classloader <- Application (e.g., EAR) classloader <- web app classloader <- single JSP classloader
The Connection Manager is loaded by the web app classloader while the EJBs are loaded by the application classloader so the EJBs have no visibility to the classes loaded by the child (web app) classloader.
The simplest fix might be to move the Connection Manager jar file to the EAR file's APP-INF/lib directory.
One word of caution though, you need to be using WebLogic Server's Data Sources and JDBC connection pooling to make sure that you correct transactional behavior if the application is doing any sort of JTA transaction (regardless of whether the JTA transactions are using XA or not...).
Hope this helps,
Robert

Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

Hi all,
I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
Hope u guys answer me earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
That said, if it matters
- What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
- What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?

Oracle Discoverer 4i (portal db - oracle 8i) connectivity issue with 11g database

Hi All
We have oracle discoverer 4i with portal db (oracle 8i).
We connect to the external databases using db links in the portal db and the reports will use the db link to retrieve the data from views in the external databases.
External databases we were connecting is oracle 10g version and now we have upgraded these databases to 11g version.
Now i have a created a new db link to this 11g database and i have created a new EUL in portal to connect to this 11g database.
But when i try to create a report using the discoverer from this new EUL after login to the discoverer we get a "cannot connect to database" error.
We have all the necesscary privilege to the user and the new database link works perfectly fine. (when we try to query directly using SQL plus from portal database using this db link the query works perfectly fine).
Im not sure if this is a compatibility issue in connecting from oracle disc 4i to a 11g database.
Can any one advise if this is the case and if there is any workaround for this?
Regards,
Raj

Are you saying you are having issues with a database link between 8i and 11g (pl post exact versions to 4 digits) ? If so, it should be expected as database links between these two versions are not supported. Is there a reason you cannot upgrade the portal database to at least 10gR2 ?
See MOS Doc 207303.1

Oracle Designer 10g With Oracle 11g DB possible

Hi,
Please clarify my below query,
we are currently using oracle designer 10g and deploying the components to production DB which is in oracle 9i, We are planning to migrate to oracle supported version 11g DB, since oracle designer 11g is not there we would be sticking to oracle 10g itself, Now my question is, will we be having issues or road blocks with this combination Oracle designer 10g and Oracle 11g DB???

Colleagues of mine have imported a designer repository inside 11gR2 and where not able to change objects inside the repository. When they imported the same designer dump inside an 11gR1 database it worked fine.
In the other post (Re: 11G compatibility it is also written that there are some major bugs and those bugs will not be fixed.

Migrating Oracle Reports to Publisher in 11g

Greetings!
We are developing a project with the purpose of migrating some Oracle Reports files to Oracle BI Publisher 11g. We know that there is a tool called BIPBatchConversion available in Bi Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 but I couldn't find this utility in Bi Publisher 11g.
Should I use this utility from Bi Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 and then migrate to Bi Publisher 11g or there is other option available?
Thanks!
Ramiro Ortíz.

Hi Ramiro
You got it right
Oracle REports --> 10g BIP --> 11BP
There is a migration tool to take your 10g BIP reports to 11g BIP - I believe its covered in the user docs

Edited by: user647572 on Dec 26, 2011 5:10 AMI dispair when an Oracle Certified Professional says he does not have 'preapartion material' and asks for a PDF link.
.... The most likely response is from someone training to sell unauthorised learning materials.
..... The OCP should understand the exams topics and online manuals for 11g should be sufficient. Oracle Press Books and Sybex Books for 11g DBA OCP should also cover number of the required topics if that helps. Not to mention Oracle University Training.
...... But an OCP asking for a 'PDF' or 'PPT' for the 1z0-055 exam ??????? .... what form of content are you thinking?

Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle
Hi,
I am using Oracle 11g client to connect Oracle 8 database using Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle but I am getting error when after entered the password
Run-time error '40002':
IM006: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
I am using VB6 application on Windows 7 and I created DSN using Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle but I got the above error when I try to connect to Database.
Please help me out on this that why this error is coming
Thanks
Amit Panwar

Provided its a 32-bit application, possibly. Microsoft ODBC for Oracle is discontinued and has no 64-bit version, so a 64-bit application won't be able to use it at all.
I do see it listed as a 32-bit ODBC driver on my Windows 7. The problem is that I think it relies on having an Oracle client installed on the machine, and you've got the same problem of Oracle client 11 not working with 8 server. You could try it and see if it works I suppose, or try installing an older client and see if that makes it work.
If it's just for testing purposes though you could throw up an Oracle XE server and test against that.
