Problem migrating MS Access to Oracle 8i using Oracle Migration Workbench

Downloaded Migration Workbench. Ran setup but it says that the Migration Workbench must be installed into an Oracle 9 home. I though it would work with Orachle 8 (according to the documentation). We obly have ORacle 8i here.
Does anyone know away around this?

Hi Caroline,
the workbench just needs to be installed into an Oracle 9i home or a new ORacle Home. It will still work against an Oracle 8i database.
There is a dedicated Migration Workbench discussion forum available.

How do I view Migrate Data errors - Access 2003 - Oracle 10g

I'm trying to use the SQL Developer to migrate data from an Access 2003 database to an Oracle 10g database. I followed the instructions found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/files/omwb_getstarted.html
I was able to complete every step except the actual data move. I exported the xml for the Access database, I captured the export and then ran the generation scripts on my target Oracle database (I'm using the same schema for the migration repository and the actual data). It created the tables with only one or two errors which I resolved.
Now, when I select Migration->Migrate Data, I get the dialog that appears to start 4 or 5 threads and attempts to migrate each table. They all error and do not transfer any rows. I can see that there's one error per table, but I can't see the error text. I just know that an error occurred. Is there a log somewhere or is the error displayed somewhere else? How do I know what's gone wrong?
Thanks.

I too receive unexplained error counts using the Migrate Data menu selection and unexplained failures using the Generate Data Move Scripts menu selection. Permissions granted by role or direct grants should not be a problem, but a Migrate Data error appears in the Migration Log panel at the bottom of the SQL Developer window, "Failed to disable constraints: ORA-00942 ... ". No further details available on what constraints or why the error. No other errors were detected while following the instructions found in the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench Getting Started guide. SQL Developer never migrates the data from the existing Access 2000 mdb file to the newly created schema objects in Oracle 10g using either method. The following roles and privileges have been granted to both the repository owner and the target schema owner:
GRANT RESOURCE TO MIGRATE_USER WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT CONNECT TO MIGRATE_USER WITH ADMIN OPTION;
ALTER USER MIGRATE_USER DEFAULT ROLE ALL;
-- 25 System Privileges for MIGRATE_USER
GRANT CREATE ROLE TO MIGRATE_USER;
GRANT ALTER TABLESPACE TO MIGRATE_USER;
GRANT ALTER ANY SEQUENCE TO MIGRATE_USER;
GRANT INSERT ANY TABLE TO MIGRATE_USER;

GRANT CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO MIGRATE_USER WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT CREATE USER TO MIGRATE_USER WITH ADMIN OPTION;
-- 1 Tablespace Quota for MIGRATE_USER
ALTER USER MIGRATE_USER QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS;
Operating system for both Access 2000 and Oracle 10g is Windows XP PRO SP2.
Oracle SQL Developer is version 1.1.2.25 build MAIN-25.79 on Windows XP PRO SP2. All three are on the same PC.
Since only the last step failed, I created a User DSN with the ODBC administrator. Then, linked the newly created Oracle table to Access via ODBC using the DSN created. Next, I created an append query with the source being the Access table and the target being the Oracle table. I moved the data by pressing the red exclamation mark.

Error while Migrating Access to Oracle!

Hi,
I am migrating MS Access 97 database to oracle 10g through Oracle migration workbench. I am using default repository but when I am executing C:\omwb\msaccess_exporter\omwb97.mde to generate XML file by clicking on button Export Database Schema for my access database it is giving
ERROR # 3376 - DAO.Database - Table '_OracletblDatabase' dosent exist.
I have MS Access plug-in C:\omwb\plugins\MSAccess.jar. and installed MDAC 2.61
Please tell me what exactly is the problem is and corrective action to resolve this error.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You'll see such messages if you have abruptly stopped the export process previously. The solution is to remove all the _oracletble objects in the "table objects" view in the access file that your exporting [source mdb]. Try again after removing all unknown tables [they ususally have an "_" at the start]. This should bring ur export successfully.
Kind regards,
Srinivas

I have tried to create odbc link but i think i have done some thing wrong,kindly help
Regards
Zuhair

Hi Zuhair,
If you give details of the problems you are still having then we should be able to get SQL*Developer to work.
However, if you don't want to use SQL*Developer then the following options are taken from note 393760.1 available in Metalink if you have access to that -
1. Use a gateway that supports the non-Oracle database or generic connectivity if a third party ODBC driver is available to do a -
'create Oracle_table as select from non_oracle_table@database_link'
for each table. You would then have to manually create all the other objects (views, indexes, stored procedurs etc) and permissions etc that existed in the non-Oracle database.
2. Use the SQL*Plus COPY command to copy data from the non-Oracle database to the
Oracle database using a gateway or generic connectivity. The syntax is as follows:
COPY FROM username/password@oracle_sid -
INSERT destination_oracle_table -
USING query;
The following example selects all rows from the EMP table in the non-Oracle database and
inserts them into the local Oracle EMP table:
COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@ora10 -
INSERT EMP -
USING SELECT * FROM SCOTT.EMP@gateway;
where "gateway" is the database link created for the gateway.
3. Load the non-Oracle data into flat files and use SQL*Loader to put the data into Oracle tables. Again manual
work is required for the other objects.
4. Contact the Oracle Product Technology Services (PTS) group for assistance. See the webpage -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
5. Use a third party migration tool. See -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/isv/third_party.html
6. Use JDBC to connect to the non-Oracle database and Java in the Oracle database. This method will work but it is not suppported by the JDBC team.
=========
The amount of work involved will depend on the number and size of Access tables that you want to migrate.
Regards,
Mike

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention
Adrian

Runtime error using Migration Workbench 1.2.4.3.0 for MS-Access

Hi
I am having problems migrating an Access 2 database across to Oracle 8i release 8.1.5 on Windows NT SP5 using OMWB 1.2.4.3.0.
During the generation of the source model, the Migration routine halts with the following message :
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin\jrew.exe
Abnormal Program Termination
Can anyone help with this one ? Is it related to DAO, and if so, how do I resolve it ?

Access 2000 databases are not supported. Only 2.0, 95 and 97 are supported. You can downgrade the 2000 database to Access 97 if you are not using any 2000 specific features and then use the Workbench. Note that you must have DAO 3.5 installed on the machine where the Workbench is running.

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.

Problem finding data in an Oracle Database using CMP beans

I am having a problem retrieving data from an Oracle database that has a date as
part of the key. This data was loaded into my database via a batch process writing
in java using java.sql.Date to store the date information. When calling the findByPrimaryKey
method of a CMP Entity Bean I continued to get the FinderException. I know this
data is in my database because I can view the data via SQLPlus and Microsoft Access.
Has anyone ever experience problems with CMP beans accessing data from an Oracle
database that had a date as part if the key or with accessing data in the database
that insert via another method outside of your CMP bean. I desperately need some
answers.

Hi Dave,
You should probably post this type of question in the CMP or JDBC section
for best results. Chances are that the date is suffering from a rounding
problem (it could be a date/time in the database with a different time zone)
or is not the date that you think it is (wrong century or millenium). I've
seen both. You need to write a quick piece of code that loads in those
values as both Java timestamps and dates and makes sure that they are what
you think they are.

OMWB 10.1.0.2 Ms Access to Oracle strange migration of Indexes

Hi
I am migrating from MS Access 2000 to Oracle 10g with OMWB 10.1.0.2 .
My Access source model has 123 indexes in it.
1.The Access source model is creating index for the same column of the same table and names it like ~~temp~index~name0 for some indexes
2.In some cases the index is created again in the source model for the same column of the same table with just the UNIQUE ,NON UNIQUE property differing.
3.Is it necessary to migrate indexex to oracle?
4.How the non-migration of indexes would affect the database performance?
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Vinod,
To assist in resolving your issue, I would firstly recommend that you carry out the following steps on the MDB file you wish to export:
1. Analyze the objects in your .mdb file using the Documenter facility in Microsoft Access. From the menu bar, select Tools, Analyze, Documenter, and then select the objects (for example, tables or queries) for analysis. Remove or resolve any erroneous objects.
2. Ensure the application contains no missing references. Launch the design IDE (use the Alt+F11 keys), and from the menu bar, select Tools, References. Remove or resolve any missing references.
3. Ensure the application compiles successfully. In the IDE view, select Debug, Compile from the menu bar. Resolve any reported errors.
4. Carry out a compact and repair on the database, using the Tools, Database Utilities, Compact and Repair Database menu option.
5. Ensure that all linked tables are valid links. Using the Tools, Database Utilities, Linked Table Manager menu option, verify that all links are up to date and pointing to an existing .mdb file that is not read-only.
If you still experience issues using the exporter tool, please supply the following information:
* Operating System
* Service Pack version
* MS Access version installed
* Version of MDB file to be exported
In your posting you mention the fact that the tool extracts the table data, generating a file with a .DAT extension for each table extracted. This is the expected behaviour of the tool. I would recommend that you read the documentation that accompanies the release, namely the Oracle Migration Workbench Exporter for Microsoft Access online help, and also the Oracle Migration Workbench User's Guide, to give you an understanding of how the tools work.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

While migrating from access to oracle ??

Hi,
Did you follow all the steps in the SQL*Developer documentation about preparing the Access database for migration -
Oracle® SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 3.0 -
2.2.4.3 Before Migrating From Microsoft Access
and -
Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations Release 3.0

The error also indicates there may be a problem with your Access installation so could you check that everything is okay with that ? I have found references that indicate a re-install of Office/Access will prevent the error.

Migrating MS Access to Oracle 11gR2

Environment 1:
Windows 7 (64-bit), Microsoft Access 2003 (32-bit), Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.0
Environment 2:
Windows XP (32-bit), Microsoft Access 2003 (32-bit), Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.0
Has anyone succeeded in migrating an MS Access database to Oracle 11gR2?
In environment 1, I cannot add a connection to the MS Access database. And, yes, I tried odbcad32.exe from both %windows%\System32 and %windows%\SysWOW64.
In environment 2, I can connect to the MS Access database.
I tried to follow "Migrating a Microsoft Access Database to Oracle Database 11g" (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/sqldev/r30/MSAccessMigration/MSAccessMigration.htm), but in the section on "Capturing the Microsoft Access Exported Files", it happily states: "The procedure for creating the Microsoft Access database scripts has been completed for you and the files are available in the zip file provided in the prerequisites." and I cannot find a reference to how those scripts were created, so I'm stuck there.
The Quick Video entitled "Migrating from Microsoft Access to Oracle" (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/access-084991.html) captures a Sybase database instead, so no luck there either.
Section "2.2.4.3.1 Creating Microsoft Access XML Files" of the "Oracle® SQL Developer User's Guide" states:
"To prepare for capturing a Microsoft Access database, the Exporter for Microsoft Access tool must be run, either automatically or manually, as explained in Section 2.2.5, "Capturing the Source Database". This tool is packaged as a Microsoft Access MDE file and it allows you to export the Microsoft Access MDB file to an XML file." But there's nothing whatsoever relevant to this issue in section 2.2.5. Nor in the "Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations".
I tried Tools -> Migration -> Create Database Capture Scripts... but there's no MS Access to select.
I tried Tools -> Database Export... but cannot connect to the MS Access database.
Stuck again.
I tried right-clicking on the MS Access db and selecting the "Copy To Oracle..." option, but nothing happens.
I tried using Tools -> Migration -> Migrate
but at the capture stage, I get an error "java.lang. Exception: The plugin used to capture this model is not available. Please re-install the plugin and try again before convert." But I cannot find a reference to a plug-in for MS Access.
I tried Tools -> Database Copy... but cannot select the MS Access database as source.
I found ckw460's entry in this forum at https://community.oracle.com/thread/2593134 and found "Oracle Application Express 4.2" at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html and in the zip the omwb2007.zip (s)he mentioned. I assume I'd have to use omwb2003.zip, but it is unclear to me how to apply it.
I.e., lots of frustrations and after well over a day, I'm still nowhere.
Can anyone assist?
Kind regards,
Herta

Hello Herta,
sorry for the delay, but just found your thread.
The MS Access Migration has been dropped from the SQL Developer V4 as the JDK 1.7 does not have the JDBC/ODBC bridge included anymore. The V4 option is only offering the "Copy to Oracle" function which works when you open the MS Access connection, check out the tables present and then do a right click on that table and select "Copy to Oracle".
Another option would be to use the 3.2 SQL Developer release.

Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hi,
I want to migrate an mdb file which contains a set of tables to oracle. During this process, i have created schema and all the tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. I would like to transfer only the data to Oracle from access through SQL developer. How can I do that?
Regards,
Meena

Hi Meena,
You mention that you have created the schema and tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. Did you use the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench, creating a Migration Repository, to carry out this process? I see from your other postings that you are experiencing issues using the Exporter tool, which would lead me to believe that you haven't used the Migration Workbench to migrate your database. Obviously you will need to resolve your Exporter issues before you can proceed to the next phase of the migration process. I will aim to assist you with those issues on the seperate thread - ShowSplashScreen("_OracleSplashScreen",3) error The XML file generated by the Exporter tool forms the basis of your MS Access migration.
In order to migrate your data from MS Access to Oracle using the Migrate Data option in Oracle SQL Developer, you will need to have access to the Migration Repository used for the migration of the MS Access database. The information contained in the Converted Model, in the Migration Repository, is used during the data migration process. The data migration requires the following connections:
1. a source database connection i.e. a database connection to the MS Access MDB file
2. a target database connection i.e. a database connection to the migration Oracle schema
3. a Converted Model connection
For further information on the creation of a Migration Repository, and the migration process, please refer to the accompanying documentation available via the online Help within Oracle SQL Developer, and also from OTN - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10405_01/doc/nav/portal_booklist.htm.
I hope this helps.

Migration from MS Access to Oracle 8

Sir,
I have exported the MS Access table from MS Access to Oracle in the following way.
I have selected the table from MS Access and clicked on export and then it asked for exporting option. I have selected ODBC databases and given the option from 'emptab' to emptab. I have created a new system dsn and finally the table was exported to oracle(user name: scott pwd : tiger. when I logged on to scott/tiger and queried the tables select * from tab; , all the tables in that user are displaying. But I am not able to query on that particular table. I was getting the message 'table or view' doesn't exist. Pl guide me how to access that table and query on that table either desc table or insert into that table or update etc.
with warm regards
[email protected]
srinivas

Srinivas,
The Oracle Migration Workbench will migrate access data and datastructures over to oracle, it can then modify the access database so that link tables are created to access the oracle information from the access forms and views.
If you are using ODBC to export the data:
What are the commands you are entering and the output? Note that oracle tables are usually upper cased so if the table name is MY_TABLE, select * from "my_table"; will not work whereas select * from my_table; will. Access export via odbc preserves the case so one may need to select * from "my_table";
select table_name from user_tables;
Will show the current users tables, to show what case is expected, upper or lower.
I hope these small pieces of information are helpful in solving the issue.
