Powerbuilder to Oracle Migration

Hi,
I am having an application developed in Powerbuiler 4.0 desktop
version with Watcom SQL Database under Windows 95. I would like
to change the Database engine to Oracle 8.x, keeping the front
end as same. Is it possible and if possible, how to establish
communication between Oracle & Powerbuilder. Where I can get the
driver software for this communication?

Hello Venkateswaran,
We are right now developing a plugin as part of the Oracle
Migration Workbecnh to migrate the databse scheme and data from
SQL Anywhere database (nothing but the earlier Watcom Database
Engine) to Oracle 8i/Oracle 8i Lite. This plug-in will be in beta
sometime in the 2nd week of September.
This plug-in will allow you to migrate the Schema and the data to
Oracle 8i/Oracle 8i Lite. It is possible to keep the front-end in
PowerBuilder and connect to Oracle 8i databse.
However, I'm not sure of the availability of connectivity drivers
between PowerBuilder 4.0 and Oracle 8i. I know there are drivers
for earlier releases of oracle (7.x). I can check that out and
let you know.

Error when using Oracle Migration WorkBench (Sql Server 2k to Oracle 8i)

I'm trying to migrate a Sql Server 2k database to an Oracle 8i schema using OMWB. After using BCP to collect metadata information on the source database, I tried to capture the source data model and got a "Capture aborted" message on the progress screen (even though then it appears a dialog window reporting "0 errors and 0 warnings", funny!). Down there is the error log OMWB generated. After reading some posts, I changed some columns of the OMWB dictionary that holds the source database name, but still got the same error. If someone can enlighten me on this toppic, I'd greatly appreciated it.
Here's the error log of OMWB:

As/400 to oracle migration (migrane)

Dear folks,
I am using oracle migration workbench to migrate data from AS/400 to Oracle. When I am capturing/importing data/model from source AS/400 system it shows up the databases available to be imported. Within that column it only shows the AS/400 system name instead of any relational database entry name. Therefore when I import that I only get some system tables and objects not the data files which are on the system. I dont know how to fix that so that it shows the relational database name so that I can import the data files not the system files.
Note: There was not RDB directory entry in the AS400 system but I have created one now.
your help is appreciated.
Munwar Soomro.

Hi Munwar,
Am I correct in saying that you only see the server name in the Capture wizard?
1)If so can you confirm that when you connected that you had privileges to see the database you wanted
2)And if that database physically reside on the machine you connected too.

Dermot

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?

Oracle Migration Tool

I recently downloaded the Oracle Migration Tool for migrating a
Microsoft Access database to Oracle8 for Linux. This migration
tool contains the following components:
1. Oracle Installer 3.3.0.1.3
2. Oracle Migration Assistant for Microsoft Access 8.0.4.0.0
3. Oracle Named Pipes Protocol Adapter 8.0.4.0.0
4. Oracle Net8 Client 8.0.4.0.0
5. Oracle Objects for OLE 2.2.2.2.0
6. Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter 8.0.4.0.0
7. Oracle8 ODBC Driver 8.0.4.0.0
8. Required Support Files 8.0.4.0.0
I installed everything onto my Windows98 client machine. Once I
did this, I could see the following entries in my Start Menu
under "Oracle for Windows95":
1. Microsoft ODBC Administrator
2. 004002 Class Library Documentation
3. 004022 Bound Controls and Class Library
4. 004022 Control Notes
5. 004022 Release Notes
6. Oracle Home Selector
7. Oracle Installer
8. Oracle Migration Assistant for MS Access
9. Oracle Objects for OLE Documentation
10. Oracle ODBC Help File
11. Oracle ODBC README File
12. Oracle ODBC Test
When I went into the Microsoft ODBC Administrator, I could also
see that there was a new entry under the ODBC Drivers tab:
Oracle ODBC Driver 8.00.0400 Oracle Corporation SQORA32.DLL
12/3/97
So far, so good.
Then I started going through the Oracle8 ODBC help file to get
my machine set up to start using the tool. Under "Configuration
Tasks," it says the following:
Before you configure the data source, you must configure Net8
database services, so there is an entry for each Service Name.
To do this, start the Oracle Net8 Assistant, either click on the
Oracle for Windows NT program group and click on the Oracle Net8
Assistant icon or from the start bar select Programs, select
Oracle for Windows NT, and select the Oracle Net8 Assistant.
Using the Oracle Net8 Assistant, you can create an entry in the
tnsnames.ora file for each Service Name. The Oracle Net8
Assistant is installed when you install Net8.
That's when I started running into problems. Although the
installer had shown that Net8 had been installed, I could not
find any evidence of a Net8 Assistant on my Windows98 client
machine. Is there a trick to starting up the Net8 Assistant?
Until I am able to perform this step, I cannot go to the next
step of configuring my ODBC driver.
Any help would be appreciated.

Brendan,
I am not 100% sure, but I believe win98 is not supported.... yet.
I know that 95 is supported, but to be honest, I do not run
winDOZE. Maybe an upper authority from Oracle should correct me
if I am wrong.

Error after Oracle Migration from DMTS into LMTS

Hello ,
I'm sorry, I posted my question again from ABAP General into this forum ABAP Dictionary. I think that here someone can help me in order to proceed with my job in the Development and in production system.
We are using SAP R/3 4.6C, with SAP kernel 2271, Oracle 9.2.0.5 and HP-UX 11.23
I did the Oracle migration from dictionary into locally managed tablespaces on the QTS system (and before that the same migration on a separate system as a copy from production):
1. export data and index tablespace with Oracle export command (exp: for PSAPCLUD and PSAPCLUI)
2. import into file for creation of indexes
3. Drop the data and corresponding index tablesspace with brtools - brspace
4. recreate the tablespaces with sapdba or with sqlplus (using the ddl scripts created before dropping the tablespaces) - - I think is my problem
5. import the data with Oracle import command
6. import the indexes from the previously created sql file
7. check optimizer statistics, analyze and next extents
But there is one problem.
Because I have also used the sapdba and ddl sql for recreating the tablespaces, I didn't specify the SAP data class for the newly created tablespace.
And in the tables TAORA, IAORA and DDART (what is very unclear for me) 3 rows missing for the USER1, TEMP and ??? data class.
If you try to import some transport in the corresponding tablespace which data class is missing an error ocur.
I have read the Note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE, and I saw the part: If the <reorg_tsp> tablespace contains any of the following tables: SDBAH,SDBAD,DBAML,DBATL,MLICHECK,TGORA,IGORA,TSORA,TAORA, IAORA,SVERS,DD02L,DD09L,DDNTT,DDART,DARTT or SAPLIKEY (SAPLIKEY is only available in NetWeaver 2004s or higher), then you should move them to the tablespace <aux_tsp> by online reorganization using BRSPACE:
brspace -f tbreorg -t <table_list> -n <aux_tsp>
Do you have the same problem?
Do you know how I can solve the problem now after the hole migration was done?
How can I dedicate tablespace data class?
Is it enought to just enter the same rows into the TAORA, IAORA and DDART?
Thanks,
Many regards,
Ruzica

Apparently you are trying to mix 32-bit code and 64-bit code. You must ensure that the 32-bit or 64-bit option is used consistently on every command, compiling and linking. The form of the option can depend on the version of the C compiler you are using, and whether you are on an x86 or sparc system. Consult the Pro*C and C compiler documentation.

MS SQLServer7 and Oracle Migration Workbench

I want to have Oracle schema name=MS SQLServer7 database name when I migrate MS SQL Server 7 database using
Oracle Migration WorkBench ( v. 1.3.1.0.0 ).
Then I tried to migrate NORTHWIND database from MS SQLServer7 Oracle Migration WorkBench have created user SA
and tablespace NORTHWIND in the destination Oracle database
By default MS SQL Server database names are mapped to the Oracle tablespaces, but there is an option 'Tablespace discoverer' to change destination tablespace.
But I do not see an Oracle Migration WorkBench option to make Oracle schema name=MS SQLServer7 database name.
Only ways I see :
1) to use 'Generate Migration Scripts' option
in menu 'Action' and edit the scripts manually
( I do not like it, unless you cannot suggest script to automate
this task )
2) Rename Oracle user ( user='SA' in my example ) to
'NORTHWIND' after migration , but how to do it ( ALTER USER) ?
Thanks,
Michael.

Mishel,
Another alternative is to alter the MS SQLServer7 database owner to NORTHWIND using
sp_changedbowner (T-SQL)
Changes the owner of the current database.
before migrating the database.

Can Oracle Migration Workbench 2.0.2.0.0 be used to migrate SQL 7.0 to Oracle 8i?

Hi,
Does anyone know that can Oracle Migration Workbench 2.0.2.0.0
be used to migrate SQL 7.0 to Oracle 8i? or the version
2.0.2.0.0 can be only used for Oracle 9i?
I failed to install Oracle Migration Workbench 2.0.2.0.0 onto my
workstation(running Oracle 8.1.7), because it need Oracle 9i.
Thanks

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.

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

I too am unable to download Oracle Migration Workbench.
And before you tell me to delete all of my cookies. Don't!
There is no way I am going to do that.
Can I download via FTP or an alternate site?

Try skipping the survey by going directly [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/migration/workbench/index.html] here. If you still get an error when you click the download links, just use the 'Sign out' at the top of the page and then 'Sign in' again without leaving the page.
Thanks for your patience, we are working to resolve this issue.

Oracle Migration Workbench logfile?

After I create my migration project I go to look at the table and it is invalid, clicking on the - under Oracle Tables it says:
The associated Microsoft Access table was not successfully migrated to Oracle. Review the Oracle Migration Workbench logfile for further information.
Where do I find the logfile?

Hi,
Can you confirm that you carried out the migration of the MS Access database schema using Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench before creating your migration project? I would recommend reviewing the steps outlined in Chapter 21 - Migrating Applications in the APEX User's Guide.
I hope this helps.
