Oracle 9i database to oracle 10g rac

Hi all,
Here is my situation:
I have a client who wants Oracle 10GR2 RAC with OCFS2 on RHEL5 using FCP and Netapp storage.Till here I am ok, now he has nine different existing oracle 9i database single instance running on various RHEL3 servers, each of these database are small databases of 20-50GB max. Now the client wants the following:
1. Move all these individual databases to the new RAC servers, which means I will have nine different database and instances.
2. What is the fastest way to do it, I can get full database shutdown during weekends.
Can I copy these databases to the new rac servers and make a new controlfile, will 10G read the 9i DB from the new locations?
How do I make these db's into a rac instance?
please help, very urgent.
Sunil Varghese

You need to ask this on the database forum, where thereare other threads that deal with 'complex' upgrades

Migrate Oracle 9i Database to Oracle 10g Solaris Platform

Hi DBAs,
Thank you very much all of you, you helped me in RMAN Duplicate Database, There was a problem in my backupset and now it has been resolved.
I have now following task.
I want to migrate Oracle 9i Database to Oracle 10g ASM, both are on Solaris platform. Please provide me step by step solution. I have very big Database about 250G Database.

In the "Complete checklist for manual upgrades to 10gR2" is written:
PREREQUISITES
=============
+ Install Oracle 10g Release 2 in a new Oracle Home.
+ Install the latest available patchset from Metalink.
+ Install the latest available Critical Patch Update.
... so "Install the latest available Critical Patch Update" step is that for the Oracle 10g database Oracle Home or Oracle 9i database Oracle Home ? I think that is for the 10g database/ Oracle Home ...
after applying the CPU pacht there is some "Post Installation Instructions":
3.3.5 Post Installation Instructions which demande a connection to the database:
3. For each database instance running out of the ORACLE_HOME being patched, connect to the database using SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and run catcpu.sql as follows:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\CPU\CPUJan2007
sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP
SQL> @catcpu.sql
SQL> QUIT
My question is ... If I want to upgrade a 9i database to 10g and I apply this CPU before the upgrade is done (to 10g Oracle Home), how could I connect to an instance which is not present to run this script ? ... is this step mandatory or is optional ?
Thanks,
P.

How to import ORacle 7 database to Oracle 10g by using OWB?

Hi, I have an old Oracle 7 database that I want to import into an Oracle 10g database by using OWB. I have made an odbc connection to the Oracle 7 database, and the dblink is working when I test it through SQL Plus, and I also manage to see the source tables in the import wizard. But after I have selected the tables I want and "execute", then an error comes up that I can not figure out.
I am using Microsoft Oracle odbc driver on a Windows 2003 Server. I tried to use the ORacle 10g odbc driver, but then I could not connect to Oracle 7. I got a message about a specified driver that could not be loaded due to system error 127.
Anyway, I can connect and see the tables by using the Microsoft ODBC driver, but it will not import the metadata.
Is there a tutorial or something about how to import through an odbc connection?

Ronny,
It's not possible to create a database link from 10g to 7. See the following Metalink article:
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=207303.1
To use the database link approach you'll need to create a 9.2 'hop' database -- a database who's sole purpose is to allow connections from 10g and from which you can connect to 7.
However OWB itself won't read metadata out of a 7 database, so you'll need to do some manual work -- eg create views on the 9.2 database for the tables on the 7 database that you want to read from.
Another potential solution is to use the heterogenous data services to connect via ODBC to the Oracle 7 instance; again OWB might not be able to read the metadata in which case you should create views somewhere where OWB can read from.
I hope my ramblings make some sort of sense :-)
Cheers,
Colin

Download between Oracle 9i Database and Oracle 9i DS

I have download the files for Windows 2000.
Oracle 9i Database version 9.0.2.1
Oracle 9i DS version 9.0.2
Download Date: June 7, 2002
These from what I can tell are the lates versions on the website. I installed the database and everything went in fine. I can work with the database and everything. When I use the Universal Installer for Oracle 9i DS, I get an error when it hits 31% that states that this version of DS will not work with a database that is of version 9.0.2.1 or greater.
If anyone can help me it would be a great help,
Greg

Hi,
Your question is the answer. Oracle9i Database manages all your eBusiness data and Oracle9iAS runs all your eBusiness
applications. In a 3 tier architecture, Oracle9i Database fits in the Database tier where as Oracle9iAS fits in the middle
tier. Oracle9iAS provides an infrastructure to run different types of applications(J2EE thru OC4J, Forms applns, Portal
based applns, Wireless applns etc..)
Cheers !

Can any one brief in detail the difference between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

Migrate Oracle 8i database to Oracle 11g

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle. I want to migrate a Oracle 8i database to a news server where Oracle 11gR2 already installed. Please, provide me step by step guideline.

Bijit,
This forum is for questions about migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle and not for Oracle to Oracle migrations.
You should open a thread in the Database Upgrade forum -
Database Upgrade
where they will have more experience of Oracle to Oracle upgrades and migrations.

Problem in connecting to Oracle 8 database through Oracle 11g client ?

Database : Oracle 8
Client Machine :
Oracle 11g
Window7
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.

Installing Oracle 9i Database with Oracle Developer 6i

I'm trying to install Oracle 9i Database with Developer 6i for study purpose, but I can not connect from Oracle FORM Designer or REPORT Designer to Oracle Database, I would really appreciate if any one of you could tell me how to put them into work together.
Thanks

Yes, you can install. Install Oracle 9i DB and D2k on different HOME. Then, configure D2K tnsnames.ora as per 9iDB tnsnames.
it will work, and works fine for me.

Cannot connect to Oracle express database using Oracle forms 10 on win XP

Hello All,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g along with Oracle Express edition database on Windows XP home edition. (Do get successful installation message)
When i open up Forms builder and try to use connect option- it comes up with user name, password and database dialogue box?
If I enter user name and password I choose while installation express edition database it comes up with the following error:
"ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error"
Have checked the services and they all seem to be running, have tried deinstalling/installing by removing registry values but still no luck.
In fact what ever I type the error message remains the same.
On the other hand I can access Express edition database using user name and password I choose during its installation.
Can any one please reply me what details i need to enter here? Is it same as I set up during express edition database installation? What about database?
Please help. As I am struggling big time.
Thanks in advance.

You may be having the same problem as this guy:
Forms 6i - ora-012203 tns:unable to connect to the destination
You need to start SQL Plus and see if you can log in, too, to make sure there are not other problems.
What are you using for the Database name (the third entry following username and password)?

New database creation in 10g RAC

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new database using DBCA in 2 node RAC cluster. When I select custom database and the password for sys and system users. In the next screen I select ASM and it is asking for password. When i give the password which i entered before for sys and system, it is not taking. Even i tried different password but getting an error password for user SYS is not valid. Any idea what the issue is?
Thanks

You must have created an ASM instance prior to creating the database. DBCA won't create an ASM instance alongside with a database.
As the ASM instance apparently doesn't exist, you can't connect to it,
Create an ASM instance first.

To transfer oracle 8i database to oracle 7.3 or 8

Hi
is it possible to import oracle8i database into previous version like 7.3 or oracle 8?
please help !
Regards,
Alpesh Shah

You can do an export from 8 (not sure about 8i, but should be the same) with the exp73.exe export utility. This will then be in the correct character set to import into 7.3.
