Migrate sql server dump file to Oracle database on a network

I have a sql server dump file provided to me by DBA's. I have to migrate this dump file to Oracle database on a network. Please suggest me the steps to do this.

regardless of the tool/technique you use, those bits have to get from machine running sqlserver to the machine running Oracle. Either over the network (through the firewall) or via 'sneakernet.' What, exactly, are the firewall constraints?
If the export is a simple text file (character delimited fields? fixed length fields?) and only 100 records ... Migration Workbench may be overkill, perhaps a simple sqlldr job. But you still have to get the bits from 'there' to 'here'.

BTW, it would be really helpful if you would go to your profile and give yourself a recognizable name. It doesn't have to be your real name, just something that looks like a real name. Who says my name is really Ed Stevens? But at least when people see that on a message they have a recognizable identity. Unlike the system generated name of 'ed0f625b-6857-4956-9b66-da280b7cf3a2', which is like going to the pub with a bag over your head.

BTW why do you want to migrate oracle database data to db2 database? Any specific project requirement like Parallel run with Oracle database (e.g data replication)? Or any other issues - Cost? Manageability? Availability? Business requirements?
Do you need to do a day-to-day data transfer or it is for permanent migration?

Hi ,
OEM starts gathering the data after agent is installed and management packs are applied on the database.
So you cannot get the data before the agent installation.
Apart from that, if you go on to the database home page, the click on metric collection errors.
Most of the time you will find many metric collection error regarding to the targets.
I had faced the similar issue and agent was not able to capture the space usage due to metric collection error.
Please search on metalink and metric collection error may be due to some bug/permission issue.
Once all metric collection issues are resolved, and management packs are enabled then you can see the reports.

Yes, the network connection could not be established. Like the error said.
What you're asking about is the exact reason, but that could be any number of things and not at all related to code. You could have the wrong host, the wrong port. A firewall could be blocking the outgoing connection, a firewall could be blocking the incoming connection. Etc. etc.

Oracle Database data presented in BPM 10.3 presentations

hi everyone,
I am new to oracle BPM. I am using version 10.3.1.
I want to know that how can i present the data from databases to the presentations found in the BPM. My scenario is that i want to display the activities present in database to the users. If possible can you give the step by step tutorial or demo on how to do it.
Regards,
Haris Kamal

This might be helpful. I don't see a process.version, but there is a process.retrieveObjectPropertyFor that says it will obtain the property from the directory.
Does anyone know if there is a list of valid properties to query for?
I see there is a FUEGO_PROCDEF table that has a field FUEGO_PROJREVREM in the directory database that would give me the information that I need. Can I get this value using the above method?

Oracle database downgrade from 11.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 and timezone files

Hi,
I would like to test downgrade process through the scripts (@catdwgrd.sql). Oracle documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/server.112/e17222/downgrade.htm
says
"2.If you previously installed a recent version of the time zone file and used the DBMS_DST PL/SQL package to upgrade TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data to that version, then you must install the same version of the time zone file in the release to which you are downgrading. For example, the latest time zone files that are supplied with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) are version 14 as of this printing. If after the database upgrade, you had used DBMS_DST to upgrade the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data to version 14, then install the version 14 time zone file in the release to which you are downgrading. This ensures that your TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data is not logically corrupted during retrieval. To find which version your database is using, query V$TIMEZONE_FILE"
1) In my case, I used DBMS_DST and now the version if the time zone file is 14. If I have to go back to 10.2.0.4, Should i copy the files to $ORACLE_HOME/ORACORE/ZONEINFO (where $ORACLE_HOME is 10.2.0.4)?
2) If my Oracle 10.2.0.4 is shared with multiple instances, will i introduce risk for other databases running on the same oracle home when I copy the files?
3) What other steps should I do other than copying the version 14 files into this directory?
Thank You
Sarayu

No - you should not copy files from the 11gR2 HOME to the 10.2.0.4 HOME - instead apply patch 9742718 to the 10.2.0.4 HOME (which corresponds to v14 of the DST patch)
Updated DST transitions and new Time Zones in Oracle Time Zone File patches [ID 412160.1]
2) If my Oracle 10.2.0.4 is shared with multiple instances, will i introduce risk for other databases running on the same oracle home when I copy the files?
You will need to follow steps in 9742718 for all of the databases running out of the 10.2.0.4 HOME
3) What other steps should I do other than copying the version 14 files into this directory?
See above

Oracle Database : Date conversion issue between timezones

Hi All,
We are trying to convert date from Eurpoer/Amsterdam timezone to Australia/Sydnet timezone and extracting time out of it.
We are facing issue related to incorrect timing after conversion.
Please find below issue details,
Environment
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
Machine: Linux RHEL 4
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Issue: After converting date from Eurpoer/Amsterdam timezone to Australia/Sydnet timezone
SELECT TO_CHAR (FROM_TZ (TO_TIMESTAMP ('201110201416', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
DBTIMEZONE
) AT TIME ZONE 'Australia/Sydney', 'HH24:MI')
FROM DUAL
Output of above SQL is 22:16.
Expected output is 23:16
Database Timezone (DBTIMEZONE) is set to +02:00 (i.e. GMT + 2) (Europe/Amsterdam)
If we convert date to Australia/Tasmania timezone then we get expected output i.e. 23:16.
Question: Expected time for Australia/sydney is 23:16, but why Oracle database provides 22:16 as output.
Please note that, Sydney and Tasmania comes under same timezone. Still we get different output for both the timezone.
Oracle database considers GMT + 10 for Australia/sydney and GMT + 11 for Australia/Tasmania.
If we want to use Australia/sydney then how should we get correct sydney time?
Regards
Shailendra

I made a test and it showed when I omit TO_CHAR, both queries have the same result 11:15 PM. So it's TO_CHAR which is the 'culprit'. Since this is a globalization issue, you may repeat your question in this forum:

(So one of the moderators moves the thread to this forum).

By the way my local timezone is Europe/Berlin, there should be no difference to Amsterdam.

Importing from an Oracle database converted from non-unicode to unicode - SSIS 2012

Hi,
I've some SSIS 2012 pkgs that read from a non-unicode Oracle database to a non-unicode SQL Server database.
Few days later, the Oracle database will be converted to unicode one and so I need to update the SQL database and the SSIS pkgs. Obiously no data conversion transformations are present in the pkgs. I'd like to avoid to add more of these data conversions.
As a first step, I'm trying to convert a SQL table to unicode format, but it isn't possible to convert non-unicode and unicode string data types.
I did not expect to have an error about the conversion from to non-unicode Oracle database (not yet converted) to unicode SQL Server database: a such conversion doesn't lost any information content. For me, it is right to have an error by from unicode to
non-unicode conversion.
Any suggests to solve this issue with a minimum development effort? Many thanks

Nope once you change datatypes to unicode you've to refresh metadata settings within SSIS packages for it to work fine. SSIS doesnt have the ability to do metadata changes at runtime. So someone has to update package metadata information to make them unicode
to make sure it works correctly after the changes.
What you can do is create test dbs in oracle and sql in uncode and create some modified packages based on it. Once you make changes to production dbs you need to move these modified copies also to production after making necessary config value changes like
servername,dbname,folder paths etc and then they will continue to work normally without causing any further downtimes to the customer.

You cannot use (pure) Java to access the raw network data.

Oracle database upgrade from express edition to standard edition

As noted by orafad, the easiest approach would be to perform a full export from 10gR2, install 11gR2 into a new ORACLE_HOME, create an empty 11gR2 database, then perform a full import into 11gR2. As also noted, you will have to follow any special directions related to Primavera.
