Oracle migration issue.

I have database
windows 2003 server.
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
I want to transfer this database to
HP UX server
Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
Transportable tablespace does not work because self-contained.
Transportable Database can't be because they are not same oracle patch level.
Is there any way that i can take os level files like cold or hot backup and restore at HP-UX server with oracle 10gr2.4

If you can't use RMAN's transportable tablespace and database features, then use exp/imp
Or make both databases use the same patch level and use Transportable Database feature

Hi K,
Whats the default character set of you MySQL and Oracle Databases.
What version of JDBC driver are you using?
Is there any unicode characters used in your data?
Have you tried offline data move?
Thanks

SQL SErver to Oracle Migration Issue

Hi All,
I am facing a problem migrating from SQL Server2005 to Oracle 11g
The Capture doesnt capture all the objects, it is capturing only one table from SQL SErver( IThas close to 300 Objects)
When we try to capture the SQL Server Objects we are getting a JDBC access Error,
This is the exact error we are getting,
"Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean"
The version of SQL Server is 2005, and the version of Oracle is Oracle 11g, With the latest Download of SQL Developer.
Are there any work arounds for this problem.
Thanks in Advance

Which driver are you using?
We test using JTDS http://jtds.sourceforge.net/
Looks like others have got this connecting to Oracle 11g.
Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean - version 1.2.1
In which case its not the problem of the 3rd party driver.
This thread seems to suggest that its an Oracle JDBC problem. It might be rectified by downloading the latest driver from otn.
Re: SEVERE: Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean
I hope this helps

10g Migration issue in forms related to graphics

Hi..
I am facing a 10G migration issue realted to graphics in Forms.
A form got migrated from 6i to 10g and it has Graphics in it but it is not displaying the graphics in Runtime after
migration.can anyone help me reagrding how to resolve this Graphics issue in 10g.
Thanks,

Graphics no longer exists in Developer Suite 10G. You have to replace the functionality , e.g. by using BI Beans. Have a look at the samples page http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html

Access 2003 to Oracle Migration Queries

Hi Experts,
I have taken up a project to migrate Access 2003 application to Oracle 9i.The Forms and Reports will continue to run in Access 2003 with Oracle 9i database. I decide to use Oracle Migration workbench for the migration purpose.What I think is the back-end i.e. database and queries will be automatically migrated to Oracle 9i but I'm not sure about the front end application.
Do I need to change front end application to point to database in Oracle 9i or OMW will do that itself.I am also confused with lots of queries that reside in current Access database. I presume these queries will be converted to Oracle procedures/views without any manual intervention but will the front-end application also be modified automatically to point to those stored procedures/views. Otherwise an extensive code change will be required which may result in huge cost.
Currently the Access application is not using any ODBC DSN as it gets connected to the database automatically. Should the database connection be changed to use DSN prior to Migration?
One more thing, the application is using single-level linked table. Will the linked table get automatically converted and connected or I need to do anything?
Could anyone help me in this issue by giving some ideas so I can manage the job efficiently and make proper planning before plunging into the real work.
Thanks & Regards
S C

The Migration Workbench will modify the Access mdb file as part of the migration if you request it, to create the necessary link tables to oracle, it will use an ODBC DSN to do this. This is explained in our documentation. This should be transparent.
However for complex application, you often have a tuning exercise, to ensure that the jet engine does the "right" thing, and there changes are required, e.g. a two way join, you would want that to happen on the server and not done on the client. This would be same tuning exercise, if the back end was SQL Server.
In the latest release of the Access plugin, we did a better job migrating queries to views, but you need to plug this into your code.
Yes, the exporter should extract the information about the linked table, assuming the link is valid at the time of extraction.

11g migration issues

I'm not sure if this forum is the right place to post 11g migration issues? If not, maybe someone can let me know where to do that. According to the article (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/migration.html) which describes the manual changes you'll need to make after migrating a 10.1.3.4 app to an 11g (11.1.1.1.0 in my case), 'In this release, the migration wizard automates substituting references to adfFacesContext by the Trinidad equivalent requestContext in pages and page definitions...' I have found that this isn't necessarily the case. For example, in one of my pageDefs, the following reference was not changed to requestContext - RefreshCondition="#{!adfFacesContext.postback}". Also, I still see references to adfFacesContext in some of my jspx's as well. Just wanted to let someone know.

Update: Not only does the migration process not replace 'adfFacesContext' with 'requestContext' in pageDefs and jspx's, but when I do a search on 'adfFacesContext' so that I can locate all references that need to be replaced manually, the search comes back with 0 hits, when I know there are many. So, apparently the search mechanism is broken too.

10.1.3.1 : JSF migration issues : "awijeyek build" versus "sobryan build"

hi
I've noticed, and read about, some issues with adf-faces-impl.jar and jsf-impl.jar when migrating between recent JDeveloper versions.
If I create a simple JSF JSP page in "JDev 10.1.3" and I "migrate" that to "JDev 10.1.3.1" I observe what has been described in bug 5607187 on October 18, 2006. The project in "JDev 10.1.3", before migration, contains "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_0_4" and "jsf-impl.jar 1_1". The migrated project in "JDev 10.1.3.1" contains the new "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 sobryan", but still the old "jsf-impl.jar 1_1" instead of "jsf-impl.jar 1.1_02-b08".
Using the same scenario, I migrate from "JDev 10.1.3.1 developer preview" to "JDev 10.1.3.1". The project in "JDev 10.1.3.1 developer preview", before migration, contains "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 awijeyek". The migrated project in "JDev 10.1.3.1" still contains "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 awijeyek" and not "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 sobryan". (They both use "jsf-impl.jar 1.1_02-b08".)
This causes the following exception when I run the migrated application:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.adf.view.faces.context.AdfFacesContextFactory.createContext(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Loracle/adf/view/faces/context/AdfFacesContext;

at oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilter.doFilter(AdfFacesFilter.java:106)
...This seems to be caused by an API change in AdfFacesContextFactory:
In "JDev 10.1.3.1 developer preview" adf-faces-api.jar\oracle\adf\view\faces\context\AdfFacesContextFactory.class the createContext() methods looks like
public abstract oracle.adf.view.faces.context.AdfFacesContext createContext(java.lang.Object p1, java.lang.Object p2) { }While in "JDev 10.1.3.1" adf-faces-api.jar\oracle\adf\view\faces\context\AdfFacesContextFactory.class the createContext() methods looks likepublic abstract oracle.adf.view.faces.context.AdfFacesContext createContext(oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.wrapper.ContextWrapper p1, oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.wrapper.RequestWrapper p2) { }This method gets called by oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilterImpl which is in adf-faces-impl.jar that has a migration issue as explained above.
The embedded OC4J also displays this warning:WARNING: Code-source D:\oracle\jdevstudio10131\jlib\adf-faces-impl.jar (from <classpath> in D:\temp\JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-mig10131\View\public_html) has the same filename but is not identical to /D:/temp/JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-mig10131/View/public_html/WEB-INF/lib/adf-faces-impl.jar
(from WEB-INF/lib/ directory in D:\temp\JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-mig10131\View\public_html\WEB-INF\lib). If it contains different versions of the same classes, it will be masked as the latter is already visible in the search path of loader current-workspace-app.web.JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-View-webapp:0.0.0.(*) workaround
Manually replacing the adf-faces-impl.jar in the WEB-INF\lib folder of my project with the one in the "JDev 10.1.3.1"\jlib folder solved my "NoSuchMethodError" problem.

Jan, 
 
yes that's correct. 
Bug 5615982 is about migrating from JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 Developer's Preview (Build 3914), as the symptom and the fix are different when migrating from JDeveloper 10.1.3.0 (Bug 5607187) or 10.1.3.1 Developer's Preview - see details [Here] 
 
Bug 5615982 is now available on MetaLink.

Queries regarding DB2 to Oracle migration

Hi,
I am new to working on Oracle Migration Workbench and DB2. We are evaluating Oracle Migration Workbench (OMWB )for migrating our client's database which is on DB2 Version 5 Release 2 to Oracle. Request clarifications on below listed questions:
1/ Is OMWB capable of migrating database which is on DB2 Version 5 Release 2 to Oracle?
2/ When I connected to the AS/400 system using Capture Wizard, the system just stays on the Source Database Window with the message "Capturing Source Database..." for an unusually long time. Is there anyway to figureout if the process is going on fine or if there is an issue?
Thank you.
Regards,
Balu

To answer you first question, we don't support that version. You will need to seek an alternative tool, like for example SQL Ways from Ispirer

Oracle Migration Tool giving Access denied error for Read operation

Hi;
Oracle Migration tool is giving access denied error when we are trying to Read a record for Access Profiles.
We are getting (SBL-ODS-50085) error.This is happening only for few records(Access Profiles).
Although the user role is administrator having full access and privilege (Manage User and Access checked).
Pl. help me resolve the issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Does it happen when you try to read "any" Access Profile?
If yes, please have a look at the
"Admin: Users and Access Controls - Manage Users and Access - Manage Users and establish User Quotas. Define Access Profiles, Roles and Groups to manage data access controls." privilege in the role of the user you use for migration.
In order to avoid any problem, I usually create a "Migration" role temporarily and assign this role ALL the privileges to avoid such failures at the time of export.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

Dear Oracle Migration Workbench Team

I have issues migrating blobs from Informix to Oracle. Our production table containing a blob is more than 100 million rows. During the offline load for a test table with 13,000 records, the load failed with message:
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of PG_FULL_IMG field specification
Are you aware the offline load doesn't work or the HEXTORAW generates the above message? Is the fix going to available soon?
Also, the can the READSIZE option parameter be increased to 100MB instead of 20MB in future Oracle releases? I cannot load TEXT/CLOB when the size is more than 20MB. Any workaraound?
For online load, can I just do a load for selected tables only?
Thanks.
Norman

Norman,
There is a script to help offline blob move to oracle seaqrch this forum for start.sql.
There is a bug whereby online BLOB and CLOB transfer mixes up rows Bug 4119713 this is fixed in the latest developers release 10.1.0.3 for migrating informix to oracle and will be fixed in the next production release for all plugins.
Also, the can the READSIZE option parameter be increased to 100MB instead of 20MB in future Oracle releases? I cannot load TEXT/CLOB when the size is more than 20MB. Any workaraound?It is unusual to have such large TEXT/CLOB sizes, can the READSIZE parameter be configured by hand in the scripts?
For online load, can I just do a load for selected tables only?After doing a migration and creating the tables without the data, the data can be migrated for individual tables using a right mouse click.

Turloch

MS Access to Oracle Migration

I have downloaded the plugins from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/migration/workbench/index.html and I dont see any MSAccess.jar file. i see a MSAccess.class file. Am i supposed to copy that to the omwb/plugins ?
If i do that, it doesnt work. Were should I keep the other files of the plugins. Is there any rule? I am using Win XP and Oracle 9i release 2.
Please Help.

Hi Abu,
I'm not sure of the exact steps you carried out, but hopefully your issue will be resolved if you do the following:
1. As you did before, go to the Oracle Migration Workbench Downloads page, http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/migration/workbench/index.html
2. From section "3-Download the Plug-in for the Database You Want to Migrate", select "Microsoft Access Plugin" to start the download of the MSAccess.jar plug-in.
3. Save the MSAccess.jar to the \plugins folder under your OMWB install e.g. D:\omwb\plugins.
You should now have successfully downloaded the plugin. Restart the workbench in order to pick up the new plugin. If you are seeing an MSAccess.class file in your directory, I'm guessing that the jarfile was unpacked. You are not required to unpack the jarfile after you have downloaded it.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

Define BINARY DATA column (DB2 to Oracle migration)

Have a table where a column is defined as 'FOR BIT DATA'. This specifies that the contents of the column are to be treated as bit (binary) data. During data exchange with other systems, code page conversions are not performed. Comparisons are done in binary, irrespective of the database collating sequence.
During conversion to Oracle using Oracle Migration Workbench, this table is converted irrespective of this definition. Please see below for details:
DB2 table definition:
CREATE TABLE ADMIN.XENCY (
          ID INTEGER NOT NULL ,
          XENCYSYMBOL CHAR(2) FOR BIT DATA NOT NULL ,
          IN TS_XENCY ;
Oracle table definition as generated by OMWB:
CREATE TABLE ADMIN.XENCY
( ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XENCYSYMBOL CHAR(2) NOT NULL ENABLE,
) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE TS_XENCY;
During data loading from DB2 to Oracle it fails for this table with the following error:
Type: Error
Time: 14-08-2006 18:21:02
Phase: Migrating
Message: Unable to migrate data from source table ADMIN.XENCY to destination table ADMIN.XENCY : ADMIN.XENCY; ORA-12899: value too large for column "ADMIN"."XENCY"."XENCYSYMBOL" (actual: 4, maximum: 2)
For Oracle the length of the data in this column is 4; however for DB2 it is 2 only as shown below:
$ db2 "select max(length(Xencysymbol)) from admin.Xency with ur"
1
2
1 record(s) selected.
$
The distinct contents of this table is as follows:
$ db2 "select distinct Xencysymbol from admin.Xency with ur"
XENCYSYMBOL
x'0024'
x'2020'
2 record(s) selected.
$
How do I define a column as containing binary data in Oracle?
Thanks in advance.

The MWB DB2 LUW plug-in incorrectly translates CHAR FOR BIT. Doesn't particularly pay attention to any of the CHAR modifiers. It will just see that column as a CHAR. Obviously, this is a defect.
Binary data of limited length is stored in RAW type columns in Oracle DB.
You have two problems (in addition to issuing an ALTER COLUMN to fix the type delcaration or dropping, tweaking the table creation script and reloading. )
1. The data extraction scripts utilized for that table have not properly encoded the data for transport between DB systems. If there are endian differences between he source and target platform there may be additional problems. Nominally, you can export the binary data in hex format.
2. The SQL*Loader file needs to be adjusted. (if you dump in hex format, so the data in the file is characters of a hex value )
XENCYSYMBOL CHAR : hextoraw( : XENCYSYMBOL)
Loader will convert those hex characters back into RAW as it loads.
[ The built in data pump will not work obviously because the system thinks it is a CHAR. So offline data transfer is your only option. ]

Urgent!! Migration Issues

Hi,
I have to migrate an existing application from Weblogic 8i to Sunone Application Server 8.
Can anyone please help me to know the kind of problems encountered in such a migration.
Also, If i have to port an application which uses 'Mssql' as the backend in weblogic and migrate it to sunone server and use Oracleas backend what r the changes to be made??
Thanks in advance
Geeta

Hi,
For addressing such migration issues, Sun has a team that can help you out. They even have a product that can migrate your application automatically. You can reach them at [email protected]
Anway, if your application does not use any weblogic specific APIs, then the migration should be relatively straight forward. All you have to do is to translate the weblogic specific deployment descriptors to sunone specific descriptors, which can also be done automatically to a large extent using the migration tool product from Sun Microsystems. I suggest you contact that team.
