SAP Oracle database 11.2 migrating from Solaris to RedHat Linux (x86_64)

What is SAP guidance on database migration ? What is the best approach ?
I heard person who does migration has to be certified by SAP.

Hi Jun,
I didn't said that SAP will not support your system, after the migration by Oracle data pump. I noted that OS/DB migration is performed by heterogenous system copy with the migration key.
Under this circumstance, if they accept to support you during the migration process with data pump, there's no problem. As I noted that previously, technically it is possible to migrate the system by using data pump, but I didn't requested that kind of support to SAP. I've been surprized to hear that they will support migration with Oracle data pump method. This is my own assestment.
Will they support you, if you face with a problem during the migration with data pump? Or some other problems you may be face after you go to productive, because of this migration?
>> When you say "heterogenous system copy" does not support it, do you mean SAP does not support the converted system or just the process itself ?
I mean that SAP does not support just process itself and the problem you face because of this migration.

Need Advice on Oracle database 10.2.0.4.0 on RedHat Linux AS 4

Hi,
I would like to know whether Oracle Database 10.2.0.4.0 is certified to run on the RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with HugeMem Kernel?
actually, we were running the Oracle 10g(10.2.0.4.0) database on RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with SMP kernel. We faced "out of memory" error so we are planning to change the kernel to HugeMem from SMP.
Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
Siva

If you were facing the out of memory errors, could you elaborate more on the circumstances these errors showed up? You could be facing the same situation after upgrading the OS if you don't properly diagnose the root cause.

Move pictures in Jpg from a server to SAP (Oracle database) in BLOB

Hi SAP Friends,
We would like to know if this is possible.
We have pics in jpg/jpeg format in one server. We want to move these pics automatically once every hour to SAP Oracle database in BLOB format. The server has the capability to push these jpg files into BLOB format of Oracle database. We need to know if it is possible to send to SAP's Oracle database and store in BLOB format. If so, pl let us know how.
Pl let us know.
Niranjan

You are facing two things here:
a) Licensing issue
Check Note 581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions:
As of point 3, it follows that direct access to the Oracle database is only allowed for tools from the areas of system administration and monitoring. If other software is used, the following actions, among other things, are therefore forbidden at database level:
Creating database users
Create database objects
Querying/changing/creating data in the database
Using ODBC or other SAP external access methods
This depends on the contract and where you bought which licenses for Oracle.
b) Technical issues
It´s not a good idea to insert data into a SAP database without using SAP tools. Even if it´s a separate table(space) or "isolated" in a SAP understanding. You never know, how upgrades behave with that table, you may see the table in sense of SAP-DDIC consistency (Table without DDIC reference) etc.
If you want to insert JPEGs easily, you can use transaction CSADMIN, create a repository and write a small program, that uploads the data to the database using SAP standard interfaces. This will insure DATA integrity and will make sure, the data is accessible even after database/SAP system upgrades.

Migrating from Solaris to AIX

Hi
We are planning to migrate from Solaris to AIX. What document will help me to follow?
If possible send me exact link.
Our current environment is R/3 4.6c, Oracle 9.2.3 and Solaris 5.9
Please let me know as quickly as possible.
Thank-you

> We are planning to migrate from Solaris to AIX. What document will help me to follow?
Start with
http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
--> FAQ
where you will see, that you need a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration.
> Our current environment is R/3 4.6c, Oracle 9.2.3 and Solaris 5.9
since that version is out of support for a long time there are no more official migration guides available, that must be covered by consulting. Technically it will be done by R3SETUP with DBMIG.R3S as parameter file.

Hi Sateesh,
This migration which you refer here is a heterogenous system copy. you may refer the system copy guide for the same.
you can get the system copy guide from the below link
Database and Operating Systems - System Copy [original link is broken]
Also refer the SMP link

Sorry i should have mentioned it as migration from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
Other info: In solaris 8 we compiled using -m32 and on Solaris 10 we are using -m64.
We had never tried on Solaris 9.
i just tried compiling on Solaris 9, i got the same error as in Solaris 10.
I tried to find using dbx but it crashes at different points for different runs.

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition in a 64 bits Linux?

Can I use Oracle Database 10g Express Edition in a 64 bits Linux? Thank you.

I´m sure AMD 64 can emulate 32 bits, my problem is about the OS. I mean I´m not sure about the question: Can 64 bits RHEL or FC4 run 32 bits programs as Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?
Thanks.

Oracle Application R12.1.1 Migration from Solaris to Linux 64-bit

Hi,
Our existing System:
On Solaris 9:
Database 10.2.0.2
EBS 11.5.10.2
We are planning to Upgrade the system to
Database 11.2.0.3
EBS R12.1.3
We also want to migrate to RHEL 5 64-bit.
Please let me know if you have experience with respect to the following issues:
1. Can I use *Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 438086.1]* as reference for my scenario? The document mentions that only Windows is supported as the source platform.
2. When they copy APPL_TOP from source to target - how the binaries from source operating system will work on target operating system? Else, are they platform independent?
3. Will the following approach work?
a. Migrate 10.2.0.2 database from source (Solaris) to target (RHEL 5 64-bit).
b. Upgrade 10.2.0.2 database to 11.2.0.3 on target.
c. Install R12.1.1 in upgrade mode on target.
d. Retrofit customization.
e. Upgrade R12.1.1 to R12.1.3
Also can you recommend best practise for Migrating database?
Thanks in advance.

Note: Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1) reads: "The instructions in this document are for migration to a target UNIX/Linux platform. At present, Windows is only supported as a source platform."
Note the word SOURCE. So the restriction is Windows cannot be used as a TARGET platform, but other platforms can.
The content of the APPL_TOP is re-used in the Target environment, except for the binaries; these are delivered by applying the "customer-specific update" as in Note : Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1)
For information on the database migration check Note: 10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i (Doc ID 362205.1) and http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/migrating_ebusiness_suite_databases_between_platfo
The scenario seems OK, but needs to be tested of course.
For information related to upgrading the database for the EBS upgrade check Note: Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade (Doc ID 761570.1)
Regards, Carlo.

Oracle migration from Solaris to Win

Dear All,
I need to create a test database, so I have to migrate a 10.2.0.1 DB from Solaris (64 bit) to Windows 2003 Standrard Server (32 bit).
The problem is that I cannot see anything related to this Win version in the v$transportable_platform view, the only one near to this is "Microsoft Windows IA (32-bit)"... This is not an IA machine, so I assume that my only way to transport is exp/imp... There is 100GB of data, so any help would be highly appreciated related to the speed...
Thanks,
Franky

Windows Server 2003 32bit (based on x86) means Oracle generic software for Windows 32bit. You can use RMAN's crossplatform-feature, although a direct conversion doesn't work (because of different endianess), you need some extra steps. Refer to this document:

Oracle migration from Solaris 64 sparc to Solaris x86-64

Now that Solaris x86-64 is supported in Netweaver 2004s SR1, I was wondering about the migration path.
Would this be a heterogeneous migration or a homogeneous migration.
or to put it another way Export/import to migrate
or backup/restore????
No documents exist yet regarding this migration.

Hello Guys
Just wanted to ask you whether Migration of SAP system from Solaris SPARC to Solaris x86_64 is possible using the
backup/restore method.
I would be grateful if you could share your experience
Regards

Need Best Practice for Migrating from Solaris to Linux

Hi Team,
We are migrating our Data Center from Solaris to Linux and our EBS 11i, database 10g (10.2.0.5) is 6TB. Please let us know the Best Practice to Migrate our EBS 11.5.10.2 from Solaris to Linux RHEL 5.
we require Database 10g (10.2.0.5) on Linux x86-64 RHEL 5 and Application EBS on Linux x86 RHEL 5. Please let us know for any details.
EBS version: 11.5.10.2
DB version: 10.2.0.5
We have checked the certifications in Oracle support.
Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 is not certified with Linux x86-64 RHEL 5.
Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 is certified on Linux x86 RHEL 5.
So we require Database 10g (10.2.0.5) on Linux x86-64 RHEL 5 and Application EBS on Linux x86 RHEL 5.
Thank You.

You can transportable tablespace for the database tier node.

Db migration from Solaris 8i to windows 10g

There is requirement to move db from solaris8(dbversion8170 to window Server 2003 (10204 already installed)
DB is about 80gb big, what would be the best approach ?
I am thinking to create new db on windows, and export and import data.....any concerns/suggestion?
Source System
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
CORE 8.1.7.0.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 3.4.1.0.0 - Production
Target System
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

what are other options i can try ?I only mention this approach because you asked. I wouldn't recommend it as a general strategy. exp/imp is the most straight-forward.
We are in the process of migrating from 9.2.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 (11.2 is not an approved standard yet in our enterprise), moving from Solaris to Linux, and consolidating two related instances into one.
We had to handle some unique situations due to our consolidation, so we did a lot of the steps manually that exp/imp does for you. A side benefit of this extra work is the actual down time is can be less than exp/imp itself, and avoids the need to dump all the data to disk and read it all again. We have about 500GB to migrate. It is a lot more work than a simple exp/imp, and is probably not be worth the effort for a single 80GB instance.
Our steps (oversimplified, there are more details than this) :
Set up the new instance and configure storage
Create users and roles in new DB
export structure only (using 9i exp)
import structure only (using 11g imp), without indexes or constraints
copy data (insert /*+APPEND*/ into.. select * from ... over a database link)
create indexes and constraints
Handling LONG data, materialized views, interdependencies between schemas each presented their own special circumstances I had to deal with.
The other path to get from 8i to 10g (mentioned only for academic reasons) is do a series of upgrades-in-place to get from 8i to 10.2.0.4 then use cross-platform transportable tablespaces to go from Solaris to Windows.

Migration from Solaris Sparc server to Solaris x86

Hi ,
I would like to know.
Migration from SAP ECC6 , Oracle , Solaris Sparc to Ecc6, Oracle, Solaris x86 , Is this consider Heterogeneous or Homogeneous system copy?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
ck chai

Solaris on SPARC is a BIgEndian platform, Solaris on X86 is LittleEndian - so it's heterogeneous --> you need to use R3load to performa a migration - and you need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration (http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).

OS Migration from Solaris 10 to Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher

Hi experts,
We'd like to migrate the OS of our SAP systems to windows from Solaris 10. We're still wondering which version of Windows we'll use. (matter of money)
Could you give me some docs, tips or advice to do that ? (requirements, how to do it, packages to install)
I have checked berforehand that all the SAP solutions we're using are compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.
I heard I'd need an OS Migration Expert to do it, but still, before that I need to check if it's possible and a roadmap could also be nice.
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards.
Alexiel.

Hi Alex,
From license perspective you need to procure license for Windows 2012 but for installation you can downgrade it to windows 2008 R2 as required.
From suggestion perspective, it is always good to go with Windows 2012 to gain benefits from mainstream support and new features as compared to windows 2008 r2.
As per SAP recommendation, it is good to have OS/DB certified consultant to perform the migration.
Some useful documents available on SCN
