Steps to copy datafiles in another database

Hi,
I want to use datafiles of another 10g database ,installed on different server, in my local 10g database. Please educate me on steps I need to take to do this.
Kindly inform me if any further information is required in this regard.
Thanks
Harbinder

You should be able to copy files from Win 2003 to Win 7, assuming both are identical 32-bit or 64-bit versions.
More importantly, are the two database versions exactly identical (down to the same patchset and patches being applied to both HOMEs) ?

Copying data to another database after little transformation

Hi,
Is there any better pattern for
copying data from one database to another database after some little transformation(can be simple SQL join).
I see couple of options like..
1. Using materialized views
2. Writing a simple procedure to do copy and transformation.
3. Using a pure ETL tool.
Is there any other simple and secure way of doing this ?
Thanks in advance,
Vijay.

Hi Justin,
A couple of questions
1) Are you copying from an Oracle database to another
Oracle database? Or are there non-Oracle databases
involved?I am copying from Oracle to Oracle.
2) Are there just two databases? Or more?Only two.
3) Are you copying all the data from one database to
another? Or are you copying just a subset of data?I just need to copy a subset(can get using SQL join) of data
4) How frequently does the data need to be copied?exactly 500 times, but at different intervals..
How soon after the data changes in the source system
m does in need to be changed in the destination
system?the copying process has to be triggered based on some data in source database.
5) Is the data flowing in only one direction?Yes
6) Is there some drawback to the three options you've
outlined that you're trying to avoid? If one of
these options meets all your requirements, I'd assume
that you wouldn't bother posting a question. That
implies to me that there is some unstated requirement
that you're trying to meet...I just want to know, whether there is any standard(typical) way to do this.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Can I restore another database's datafile to this database?

I have 2 database(both of them are same version Oracle10g 10.2.0.1) db10g and sdb10g. Now I lose the read-only datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db10g/example01.dbf' on the database db10g and no any backup of this file. I want to copy the datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/sdb10g/example01.dbf' (another database sdb10g's datafile) to the corresponding place of database db10g and perform a recovery. Is it possible?

How could I copy contraints from one database to another?

Hi,
I have a specific problem.
I have taken a datadump and executed in another database. Some how the contraints were not copied.
So I created following script to genrated alter statement and then run the script in target database:
declare
cursor get_cons is
select distinct dc.table_name table_name, decode ( substr(dc.constraint_name,1,3), 'SYS', ' ', 'CONSTRAINT ' dc.constraint_name ) contraint, wmsys.wm_concat(ucc.column_name) over ( partition by dc.constraint_name order by dc.constraint_name ) cols
from user_constraints dc,
user_cons_columns ucc
where dc.table_name like '%'
and dc.constraint_type = 'P'
and dc.table_name = ucc.table_name
and dc.constraint_name = ucc.constraint_name;
lv_sql varchar2(2000);
begin
for i in get_cons
loop
lv_sql := 'ALTER TABLE '
I.TABLE_NAME
+' ADD ('+
i.contraint

Steps to Copy a Database in SAP

Hi,
What are the steps to copy a database in SAP?
Thanks,
Sreekar.

Hi,
The steps of database copy are as below.
1. To make Database copy between two systems, you have to check file size on
Target System.
Use commands:
df -k
bdf (HP-UX)
2. On the Source System, check the files which are going to move.
Use commands:
su ora
svrmgrl
connect internal;
select name from v$controlfile;
select name from v$datafile;
select name from v$logfile;
3. Release all change requests on source system.
4. Shutdown database (Source system)
Use commands:
su - adm
stopsap
5. Copy the controlfiles, datafiles, logfiles from source system to target
system.
Backup via tar
ftp or rcp
For example: You can write a simple script.
rcp r src_server:/oracle/SRC/sapdata1 /oracle/TRG
rcp r src_server:/oracle/SRC/sapdata2 /oracle/TRG
rcp r src_server:/oracle/SRC/sapdata3 /oracle/TRG
or for backup
tar cvf /dev/ sapdata* dbs origlog* mirrlog*
6. Copy $Oracle_Home/dbs/init.ora parameter file from source system to
target system. Change all old SIDs to new SIDs except db_name parameter.
Save it with old SID name.
7. On the target system, change parameter /dbname= on
parameter file /usr/sap/trans/bin/TPPARAM
8. Change all owners and groups.
Use commands:
With root user.
cd /oracle/
chown R ora:dba sapdata*
chown R ora:dba origlog*
chown R ora:dba mirrlog*
9. Change the name of control files (cntrl.dbf) with new SID
10. Startup mount must work successfully.
Use command:
su ora
svrmgrl
connect internal;
startup mount;
11. Define new locations to database for data files and log files.
Use command:
su ora
svrmgrl
connect internal;
alter database rename file /old/file/name to /new/file/name;
12. Startup R/3 with startsap.
Use commands:
su - adm
startsap
13. If not start; see OSS note--> 8179 (grant connect to sapr3 identified by SAP)
14. Log on to SAP via SAP* user.
15. Run ST06 and set workbench organizer.
16. Install new license.
17. Change the spool server names on SAP system. (SPAD)
Reward points if found helpfull...
Cheers,
Siva.

How to copy file from one table to another table at another database

I need to transfer my tables from one workspace and schema to another workspace and schema. Basically I need to create again all the tables at this new schema. How could I transfer data from tha table at old schema to the table at new schema when this table has files stored in it? (data type is blob)
thank you so much,
Silver

Hello Silver,
Depending which database you're using (if it's available) I would recommend to use datapump.
Datapump allows you to copy an entire schema to another database, it's the "new" export/import you might now.

Dimitri

Not to mention that some FTP servers can return more than one return message per operation whereas others may return one message for the same operation.I had the problem using the LIST command to determine if a file exists on the server. 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.

How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.

How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.
BLOB value contains word document.
I thought of copy the BLOB value into a text file and then update the new column value by the same text in textfile. Will this work?
Is there any other better way to do this?

You're welcome
BLOB fields contains binary data. I don't think you can do this
Also if I view the BLOB as text. Can I copy it and insert into the new database.
I think your options are as I said. Datapump or CTAS
Best Regards

Second;
select * into [Destination Database].[dbo].[NewTableName] from [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[Category] Where 1=2

Relocating datafiles on standby database after mount point on stanby is ful

Hi,
We have a physical standby database.
The location of datafiles on primary database are at /oracle/oradata/ and the location of datafiles on standby database are at /oracle/oradata/
Now we are facing a situation of mount mount getting full on standby database so we need to move some tablespaces to another location on standby.
Say old location is /oracle/oradata/ and new location is /oradata_new/ and the tablespaces to be relocated are say tab1 and tab2.
Can anybody tell me whether following steps are correct.
1. Stop managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
2. Shutdown standby database
shutdown immediate;
3. Open standby database in mount stage
startup mount;
4. Copy the datafiles to new location say /oradata_new/ using os level command
4. Rename the datafile
alter database rename file
'/oracle/oradata/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oracle/oradata/tab1.123452.dbf','/oracle/oradata/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oracle/oradata/tab2.123452.dbf'
to '/oradata_new/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oradata_new/tab1.123452.dbf','/oradata_new/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oradata_new/tab2.123452.dbf';
5. Edit the parameter db_file_name_convert
alter system set db_file_name_convert='/oracle/oradata/tab1','/oradata_new/tab1','/oracle/oradata/tab2','/oradata_new/tab2'
6. Start a managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
I am littelbit confused in step 5 as we want to relocate only two tablespaces and not all tablespaces so we have used.
Can we use db_file_name_convert like this i.e. does this work for only two tablespaces tab1 and tab2.
Thanks & Regards

8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
% mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE 2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
3> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
SEQUENCE# APP
8 YES
9 YES
10 YES
11 YES
4 rows selected.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
Shut down the standby database:
SQL> SHUTDOWN;
Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
% mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
Start and mount the standby database:
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'

XTTS - problem in copying datafile into ASM

I'm testing the migration of database from AIX to Linux using cross platform transportable tablespaces.

Destination: 10.2.0.5
OS version: source: AIX6.1 - AIX-Based Systems (64-bit)
Destination: RedHat Linux - Linux x86 64-bit
I run the below commands before copying the datafile at destination.
EXECUTE DBMS_TTS.TRANSPORT_SET_CHECK('TBLSP1,TBLSP2', TRUE);
SELECT * FROM TRANSPORT_SET_VIOLATIONS;
no rows selected
alter system archive log current;
alter tablespace TBLSP1 read only;

FORMAT '/dataimport/%U';/dataimport is a shared file system mounted on Linux server and am able to see the datafile over there. But, am receiving the error below when trying to copy the datafile on the linux server. Could someone let me know if I miss something / how to resolve this error.

I don't think it's related to patchset mismatch. Yes. I moved the dump file and datafile copies to local file system also and got the same error.
