Peformance issues during Designer 10g R2 migration

Hi
Following a successful pilot migration from Designer 6.0 to Designer 10g R2, I'm running the real world migration.
The pilot took about 3 hours (using the migration wizard in the RAU), but the real one is taking much longer and I keep encountering tablespace errors, specifically ORA-01653 and ORA-01654. Our DBA is fixing these on the fly.
The DB is running ok, but in Windows Task Manager the RAU status is 'Not Responding' (which I'm used to for Designer Reports) and it's hanging on the screen for ages. When it does come back to life, I seem to get another tablespace error. It's hard to tell how much progress is actually being made.
After the pilot, we dropped the repository owner and recreated the repository (to clean it). We had some additional content in 6.0 which we needed to include as it wasn't in the pilot migration, but I don't think the size of the actual data we're migrating has increased significantly.
I'm not sure if I should perservere with the migration or abort it and restart - any suggestions? I don't know how far we have got (from the RAU) - is there a way for my DBA to check this perhaps?
Thanks, Antony

I am not very worried about the tablespace extension problems.
Designer seems to wait well for the tablespaces to be enlarged and then it will continue on without any issue.
the CDD-22300 has a Note on it:

  • Headstart Designer 10g Migration Guide?

    Is there a Headstart Designer 10g Migration Guide?
    We are migrating our forms application generated from Designer2K 2.1, Forms 5, Headstart 212 with repository in database Oracle 8 to the latest releases Designer 10g (10.1.2.0.2), Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with repository in Database 10g R2 (10.2.0.2).
    If we follow the migration path for designer and the repository database to 6i then to 10g, recompile the object library and form templates, regenrerate our modules, then will it still work? Do we need to do anything to the Headstart Designer Template Package? Hope you can help with a road map.

    Hi Nathan,
    there are several possibilities for a migration path. It depends on the expected life-span of the application(s), wether or not you want to use new Headstart functionality, etc.
    A description of these possibilities can be found in the migration guide which is included in the Headstart 9i/10g documentation. Do you have the latest version of Headstart available?
    Because you currently use an older version of Headstart, a migration will take a bit more work than described in this documentation because Headstart code has changed. So you will have to replace Headstart function calls or create a wrapper library.
    Further, regeneration of (the more complex) Forms is not that simple as you will probably have to modify the lay-out. If you use client-side functionality (open MS Word/Excel, write to the local file system, etc), you will have to use Oracle's Webutil-package.
    So it can be done. But it will take some planning and programming. Succes.
    p.s. if you (temporarily) publish your e-mail address, i can provide you with some additional info.

  • Migration Designer 6i to Designer 10g with Forms generation

    Has anyone done a migration from 6i Designer to Designer 10g with Forms generation?

    There is a newer version of Headstart available, that version (6.5.4.0.1) is also certified for Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2. I can't tell you if it is the latest version.
    Headstart is a product of Oracle Consulting. You have to purchase it from Oracle Consulting. Ask for iDevelopment Accelerators Package.

  • Designer 10g install stops during instalation on windows 7

    Hi.
    I tried to install designer 10g in Win 7, but when it asks for a smtp server, i leave this field empty and button next, then the install closes without an error message.
    Please someone can help me!!!

    On Oracle support (formerly metalink) there is a document (Certification of Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 7 (32-bit) Doc ID 1292919.1) I followed these instruction and the installation went well.
    Do you install the Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2(10.1.2) or the 10gR1 (9.0.4)? I had troubles installing the 10gR1 on Windows 7 and had to upgrade the repository to the 10gR2. 10gR1 installed but I could not connect to a repository, since the Oracle client inside the developer suite did not connect.

  • 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.

  • Handling shared objects in designer 10g

    I have 2 application dump that i should import in designer 10g. I had imported the first dump with the help of import option present in Restore menu option these contains 11 applications with its own sharing . Then i restored the second dump in the same manner.The second dump has 16 applicaitons .In the first dump i have two applications let us call it A and B .These A and B 's objects are referenced by applications C AND D in second dump and by some of the applications in the first dump itself .Now the issue is these A and B exists in both the dump, while restoring ,i was compelled to change the name of the application so that i can avoid duplication .In this way iam able to import. Hence , i would like to know if there is any methodology to avoid these duplication.

    yes, and no ....
    If you have versioning enabled, then the import will allow you to bring in the second copy of A and B as "new versions of existing elements". But that would imply that you have defined and implemented your version control processes and decided how were using version control / SCM in this repository. Not a simple thing, so .....
    If you have a non-versioned repository, then sorry NO not during import.
    This is because of the way the export was created. When you export you include a complete consistent set of applications that you want to import somewhere. Designer makes sure that you have ALL the elements you need. Thus you have A and B in both those exports.
    The real answer is to export A, B, C, D, and their friends as a single export file -- if what you really want to do is import them all and preserve the sharing.
    One avenue is to check with the odtug.com group / mailing lists. Someone over there may have written current scripts to do a "replace" of all pointers to A' elements with pointers to A elements (((this was part of Designer 6.0 Echo, but not 6i/9i/10g - sorry)))

  • Portability between Designer 9i r2 and Designer 10g r2, and deployment?

    I have some questions to ask...
    I have been given the job of adding Oracle to the reportoire of databases available to be used for a commercial Delphi application. The idea is to create a database in 10g that this application can talk to.
    I wish to develop the database, constraints and triggers etc using Oracle Designer (not because I think it's best, but simply I know how to use it, and don't know JDeveloper yet, and time is of the essence).
    Here's where the problem lies: The last application I developed was on 9i r2 and was going to a 9i r2 platform, and I generated DDL for the database tables stuff, and also for the table API, ending up with two sets of script files to run on the target system. Two of the lines of code in the table API script were:
    @ C:\oracle\9iDSHome\cgens72\sql\cdsaper.PKS
    @ C:\oracle\9iDSHome\cgens72\sql\cdsaper.PKB
    Of course the pathnames weren't right, but when I fixed them I managed to get the system installed correctly. However the clients for the application I am working on now should not have to have developer installed... I want them to be able to just run the script files into a 10g database and not worry about designer/developer at all.
    The other issue is just as serious. Although clients shouldn't have to have designer installed, I want the application developer/company owner to be able to fiddle with the designer if he wants to. I have 9i where I work, and he will have 10g. Will I be able to do a repository export/dump from my 9i r2 and import it to his 10g r2? With the previous project I did, I couldn't even import the designer export from my 9i r2 to the 9i r2 at the workplace... it said "Incorrect header file" - it was lucky I had the DDL script files or I would never have got it in the database at all! If they had had a different version of oracle then I don't know what would have happened when trying to run those package files from developer (the comments say something about an error package or some such)!
    Eventually I'm going to upgrade to 10g for database development but I don't want to just yet.
    So my questions are:
    1. Can I develop the system using 9i r2 DB and 9i r2 DS and then create DDL scripts to be run on 10g client databases without having to have developer installed on the client machines? could my "boss" distribute those two developer package files with the DDL scripts to the clients without breaking some kind of copyright?
    2. Will I be able to import a Designer 9i r2 export into a Designer 10g r2 repository for my "boss" to make adjustments and produce refined DDL scripts himself later on?
    If the only thing holding me back is having 10g installed where I work then tell me now and I'll take the plunge. If there's other issues I need to find a way around them.
    I thank you in advance for any advice you can give
    Thanks
    Adam Sawyer

    Hi,
    This issue has been reported with Designer Releases prior to 9.0.4.4 against 10g database.
    Please upgrade to the latest Designer Release 9.0.4.5 the import will work fine.

  • Slow performance Designer 10g (on 10gR2 database)

    We are busy testing Designer 10g version 10.1.2.5 (windows XP) on 10gR2 64 bit database (Sun solaris) . The repository was migrated from Designer 6.0.
    But the performance/response is rather slow. Example: At first, opening a server model diagram took 2 minutes or more. By searching the forum we found the tip for the "alter system set OPTIMIZER_SECURE_VIEW_MERGING = false;". That made a big difference.
    But now we still have response problems: Expanding the treeview for the list of tables, views or snapshots takes much longer then in Designer 6.0.
    Also opening for example Design Editor takes longer then one normally expects, allthough some delay can be expected because we have a lot of applications (100) in the repository.
    Is it because it is now written in Java, or are more database optimizations possible?
    Paul.

    Have you computed statistics using the Repository Administration Utility (RAU)? The default percentage of 20% is usually good enough, but you could go higher.
    Do a View Objects in RAU and check for missing, disabled or invalid objects. If you find any, there are ways to correct the situation, mostly under the Recreate button.
    Make sure that no-one else is using the repository, then press the Recreate button in RAU and use the selection labeled: Truncate Temporary Tables. Sometimes these tables get too full and can impact performance.
    Under the Options menu in RAU, there is an item labeled: Enable Performance Enhancements. To be honest with you, I've never noticed this item before, and I don't know for sure what it does. Then again, I've never had any serious performance problems in Designer. It might be worth your while to back up your repository, then turn this on.

  • Unable to run Oracle Form Builder from Designer 10g

    I am using Windows XP with Oracle Designer 9.0.4.5. From Design Editor, I select Run -> Oracle Forms, nothing happen. I am able to open Form Builder manually (C:\ORACLE\904\bin\ifbld90.exe). After I generated a module (form) from Designer, I have to open the FMB manually from Form Builder. In Designer 9i, I am able to open Form Builder from Designer. Is this a bug for Designer 10g?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thanks for the response, Suresh,
    I believe this is an installation/configuration issue.
    I installed Oracle Developer Suite 9.0.4, which includes Form Builder, Report Builder, and Designer. System Path contains the ORACLE_HOME (c:\oracle\904\bin). I am able to start Form Builder from DOS command (ifbld90.exe). I am also able to start Report Builder (rwbuilder.exe) and Designer (des2k61.exe) from DOS. I am able to Run Oracle Report Builder from Designer, but just not Form Builder. I also checked the Windows registry settings and they seem alright to me.
    thanks,

  • Error in ora designer 10g

    i have an error:

    You have it in the wrong place.
    Or you didn;t tell it where to find the JDK.
    Either way, you probably have a difference between your procedure and the install manual. Suggest you re-read the install manual and evaluate your differences.

  • Audit info for shortcuts in Designer 10g

    Hi,
    I want to create a shortcut for a domain to a context container from an owning container, which is straightforward but I've noticed that domains which were previously 'shared' in Designer 6.0 (and which are now shortcuts in 10g following migration) don't display their audit info in the container to which the shortcut applies, it's blank now.
    This is also the case for the one I just created the shortcut for, it was migrated from Designer 6.0. In Designer 6.0, by contrast, you see the audit info for the domain in its owning application system and in all application systems into which it's shared. Wondered if anybody knew why?
    Thanks,
    Antony

    Sorry, I can't help with the SQL script, but regarding the Repository metamodel, have you seen the Schema Diagrams and the Repository and API Model Reference Guide on the Designer documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/documentation.html) on OTN?

  • Designer 10G reconciliation and Reverse Engineering

    Hi All Oracle Designer 10G users,
    Years ago, I used to be an avid Oracle Designer 2000 user and have not used Oracle Designer in any of it forms since, until the last few months. I now have two issues which I need to solve, which are;
    - I need to reconcile the contents of the Oracle Designer 10G repository with physical (on-line) database and also if possible generate SQL DML to resolve any differences if found.
    - Also, I need to reverse engineer Foreign Keys that have been built in the physical (on-line) database schema into the Oracle Designer 10G repository.
    I hope any Oracle Designer 10G professionals out there can help me with the above issues.
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Austin

    Hello Austin,
    If you have access to Metalink then there are 2 notes that you may want to look at
    Note 260617.1 on how to Capture Design tables from a Database.
    Note.299067.1     Ext/Pub How to reverse engineer an ERD in Designer:
    These both have a video associated with them to help with thest items.
    To see the differances between your reposiotry objets and your DB objects you will need to generate to your DB but not execute.
    1 In the DE - Server Model tab
    2. Select the objects
    3. generate - generate Database from Server model
    4. Select database - enter the user name/ password and connect string
    5. Select the objects tab and make sure that the objects are on the right side that you want to see. - Start
    6. Select List Actions on the Message Window
    7. DDL Generation Complete comes up and select View Report
    If you select Execute DDL that is what will happen and you will change the DB. So be careful.
    the report will give you the difference between the objects in the repository and the database.

  • Problem logging into Oracle Designer 10G

    Hello developers,
    I've downloaded and installed Oracle Designer 10G on my computer. I've installed it using the installation wizard. I wanted to login. I have my username and password but not the connect string. I don't know what my connect string is now.
    During the installation, I've encountered such a message:
    Oracle Designer and Oracle8i client import and export tools need to be installed into different Oracle homes. You can use the LOCAL and TNS_ADMIN registry variables(set under both Oracle Homes in the registry) to save having to maintain multiple copies of your TNSNAMES.ORA file. Please enter any information you wish to be set and click OK to continue."
    So under this message, a default entry of "C:\orant\net80\admin" appears whilst for field Local, I've entered "orahome" which I assume to be my database alias.
    Later on, I found out about 10G so I removed the copy of 6i I've installed using Universal Installer and proceeded to download and install 10G. Now the error message Im getting when I tried to login without giving a connect string is that "The user does not have an installed Repository. Invoke the Repository Administrator Utility. " So from the start menu, I choose Repository Administration Utility but nothing happened.
    Could anyone that have experience with this installation let me know what should I do? Im really looking forward to using 10G Designer.If this is not solved, then I'll resort back to using 6i. Maybe from there things are easier. Thanks in advance.

    After some heavy googling the problem is solved.
