Startup Database using Controlfile into Another Platform

Hello DBA's
My IT Manager came with a logical question.
Can we Copy the Datafiles + Controlfiles + Redologs ifrom one platform (SOLARIS) into another (Linux)
and simply startup recreating the controlfile?
If Not Why Not?
If the Datafiles are in a Storage (Solaris) and this storage host partitions for Solaris Oracle Database and Partitions for Linux Oracle database
Does someone can answer thsi question?
Thxs

In addition to the link provided by Osama (which talks about copying data between the same platform), you also need to consider moving your data across platforms and the endianness is important.
If you are moving from Solaris SPARC to Linux x64, you cannot simply copy the datafiles. They use a different endianness. You must use the Transportable Tablespace Feature (and cannot transport SYSTEM tablespace). There is one exception if you are migrating from SPARC to Exadata, you'll need to search MOS for the note on that one.
If you are moving from Solarix x64 to Linux x64 you can get away with the RMAN CONVERT DATABASE feature which will convert (basically copy and make some small modifications) your database. I found think link that outlines the procedure http://www.scribd.com/doc/19211941/RMAN-CONVERT-DATABASE-cross-platform

How to backup database using RMAN on another server's tape?

Dear All,
Please give me an advise what parameters I should set up in RMAN to backup database on another server's tape.
Best wishies,
Givi

I am connected to the database server from the server
where I have tape, but Rman is searching tape on
database server.I am not sure I understabd the above statement, but at the Operating System Level, you must ensure that from the Server you are running RMAN, it is configured to see the Tape Drive of the other Server. Once the Remote Tape is mounted with any name (say sbt) on the Local Server (however it is done with), then RMAN can configure the channels to use it.
If you cannot get this access at the Operating System Level, then do not bother trying RMAN to access it.

Possible to test one JVM using RMI into another JVM through a single IDE?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to do something that I'm not yet sure is possible so I'll try to explain what I want to do as best I can and hopefully someone can give me some insight.
Basically I'm working with a service that runs on a JVM and I also have separate tool that runs its own main class with a new JVM.
Currently, in production the only way the tool can interact with the running service is to connect over RMI, which is fine, but now I want to add some new tools doing the same thing but am having a hard time figuring out the best way to test it pre-production.
So I guess what I'm asking is if it is possible to have my main service running in a test suite, and then also run a completely separate class through its main method and have it connect via RMI to the other one. All using the same instance of some IDE (in this case IntelliJ IDEA)
I know there are other ways of testing it, but this would be ideal (I think) if I could get it working at all.
My current test suite creates unix home directories so I could possibly tap into that somehow. I guess my other option would maybe be to run the tools class on its own through a different outside of the IDE enviro.
Thanks for any possible help

IJ lets you debug multiple apps concurrently from a single IJ instance. You didn't mention that that's what you're doing, but I'm assuming it is, else why run in IJ, right? If it's not what you mean, I assume that you can also just plain ol' run multiple apps the same way, and if by some weirdness you can't, just debug 'em and don't set any breakpoints.
EDIT: I guess I don't really know what you're talking about. When I've debugged multiple apps, it was using the "remote" debugging facility. The apps were started on the command line, and then I connected IJ. Note that "remote" just means a separate JVM, not necessarily a remote host, though that's also doable.
What is it exactly that you need IJ for as part of the runtime here?

Moving SAP Database into another Hardisk

Hi Expert
I want to move all WG55 database into another free space hardisk under MMSQL 2000 enterprise edition , I have 3 database to move on Eg R:\WG55DATA1,WG55DATA2,WG55DATA3 and K:\tempdb.mdf
All the above database are in D:\WG55DATA1,WG55DATA2,WG55DATA2,tempdb.mdf so what is the best option to move all WG55 database to R and K respectively It is live Production system so i would be thankful if any expert person in MMSQL to guide me please
and I am using another server for application (Instance)
regards

the sap note above is well explained.
but, you may use SQL Enterprise manager.
1. stop sap.
2. detach Database (Enterprise manager, on DB Name -> All Tasks->Detach Database
3. Move Data and log files to new location
4. Database -> All Tasks -> Attach Database and find the MDF file (the first data file) from the new location. (you may have to find each of the data and log files)
5. verifiy it is correctly attached.
6. Start sap

Using SELECT INTO statement to transfer data from one DB to another?

Hello,
I need to move data from an SAP table to another downstream SQL server box without flat file in between. I have set up the DBCON interface, so that my ABAP code on SAP can connect to the remote SQL Server, then I can run INSERT command as Native SQL inside the ABAP.
However, INSERT has performance problem. The best performer as I can find is SELECT INTO statement. But then I am stuck at how to use SELECT INTO to query my local SAP table and send (via INTO) to remote database. I am not even sure whether I should use Open SQL or Native SQL.
Any suggestion? BTW, I understand the limitation of Native SQL, but we are OK to use it.
Thanks!

It appears that this is some kind of migration project due to the scope of the data contained in the single file? If so whatever you do is like ly to be trow away once the migration of data is completed.
You have a couple of options:
1) Get the data extracted from HFM in multiple files instead of one bulk file, broken down by scanario,year & period
2) Take the single data dump file produced by FDM and manipulate it yourself to get the data in a more usuable format for processing through FDM.
Option 2 could be achieved via any ETL tool or a custom file parsing script. What may be more attractive to you and allow you to fully leverage your investment in FDM is that you could use the PULL adapter that ships as part of the FDM adapter suite to perform this transformation exercise. The PULL adapter takes a flat file input and allows you to use all the in built functionality of FDM to transform it and output a modified flat file (or series of flat files). You could use it to produce multioload files or a series of files broken down by scenario,year,period.
Whatever you do I would suggest that break the single data file down into smaller chunks as this will help with the iterative debugging process you will inevitably have to undetake whislt migrating the data to the new application.

DBMS_DATAPUMP import into another database instance

Hi there,
i have a quick question as i didn't find an answer in my oracle documentations...
I use a PL/SQL program in a Oracle Application Express (APEX) application to import a dumpfile via the dbms_datapump API. It`s no problem to import it into the database on which APEX runs and i'm connected to in my application, but now i want to start an import of the dumpfile into another database. I know that it is possible in the commandline interface of the data pump tool to import a dumpfile from one database instance to another with a connect identifier in the connect string.
Could someone tell me where i have to put these information in the datapump API?
Fennek

Hi,
thx for the replies...
I think damorgan is right, in the meantime i read somewhere else that you appearantly cant start an import into another databse instance out of PL/SQL...
Well, maybe i will try to use dbms_scheduler to start an external script which starts the import tool like apex_disco wrote...

Inserting data from one table into another table using PL/SQL

HI,
I am trying to insert values from one table into another using PL procedure, the values I want to retrieve from the table riverside1 are charac_id and charac_type and insert these values into another table called riverside2 , the stored procedure zorgs_gorfs(x,y) accepts two parameters which are 2 charac_id's of d characters in riverside1 then using insert statements inserts these characters from riverside1 into riverside2.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE zorgs_gorfs(x IN NUMBER, y IN NUMBER) AS
     BEGIN
          INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id)
          VALUES
               (x);
INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id)
          VALUES
               (y);
      END zorgs_gorfs;
/This works but the problem im having is that when I also try to insert the charac_type as well as the charac_id it doesnt work below is the code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE zorgs_gorfs(x IN NUMBER, y IN NUMBER) AS
     BEGIN
          INSERT INTO riverside2

               WHERE
                    charac_id = x);

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

Cannot be determined via the FTP server's return code. Which means parsing and checking the text response from the server to the command. And this vary from server to server.
But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.
