Transfer 8.1.6 database residing on AIX to 10gR1 residing on RHEL4 AS

I've been googling and realized that there is no direct upgrade path from 8.1.6 to 10gR1, it states that I should upgrade first to 8.1.7 before moving to 10gR1. My problem is I can't touch the 8.1.6 because I'm not the admin of that DB, I'm just tasked to migrate 8i to 10g.
So I was thingking that one way to accomplish my task is
1. to install another 8.1.6 on my windows pc
2. exp/imp the old 8.1.6 DB to my windows pc
3. upgrade to 8.1.7
4. exp/imp to 10gR1
Does anyone has a better solution? Please let me know.
Thanks and Best Regards

If you want to rely on exp/imp
1) exp database on the AIX machine
2) install 10gR1 on Linux
3) imp database on Linux into 10gR1
Direct upgrade means:
1) exp database on the AIX machine
2) install 8.1.7 on Linux
3) imp database on Linux into 8.1.7
4) perform the direct upgrade using DBUA

i need ur help,we hav online site .Please don't use these juvenile abbreviations. It's impolite when you're asking for assistance not to make the effort to spell out all of the words. Moreover in a forum with an international readership the use of standard English will reduce the possibility of confusion.
I presume that your file upload is being placed in a different directory from that which you were expecting. I would suggest logging all paths (specifically filename) to see if this is an unexpected value.
Please explain further what you mean by "local" - is this a stand-alone application, or merely running a copy of the server on your local machine and doing the transfer (via the browser) to that? Are there any other differences such as the browser used?

Transfer data from one database to another without identities but keep the relation b/w PK and Foreign key

Hi,
I need to transfer data from one database to another database (both are identical databases).
1. Not transferring identity columns (primary keys). the destination table might have the same key.
2. keep the PK's and FK's relation b/w parent and child table
3. I have 4 levels
Example: tableA (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3)
tableB (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
col2 , col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableA.col1
tableC (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
col2, col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableB.col1
tableD (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableC.col1
please advise me.
Thanks in advance

Different ways to Transfer data from one database to another database

Hi all,
What are the ways to transfer data from one database to another database. With the following options, i Can transfer data as far as i know. Please
correct me if i am wrong or tell me if there is any other options are available.
1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.
2) By using Export and Import utilities.
I told first one to my interviewer, he told, its strange, by using, COPY command also can we transfer data ? As far as i know, we can transfer data. Am i right ?
Thanks in advance,
Pal

transfer data from one database to another database.You mean store the data of one to another?
1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.every SELECT on a DB-link is transfering data. And you can have all kind of transfers and store on the e.g CTAS of materialized views or.... the SQL*PLUS COPY :
The COPY command is not being enhanced to handle datatypes or features introduced with, or after Oracle8i. The COPY command is likely to be made obsolete in a future release.
But there are many others. Check for ORACLE Streams, and the "COPY" your interviewer was mentioning is about the operating file system COPY right? That's transportable tablespaces.

Two Oracle databases on one AIX Server - Note working, Pls Help

Dear Friends,
I have installed Two SAP systems with Two Oracle Databases on one AIX machine, The Installation of both the systems went fine without any errors, and also i have been able to login to both the systems seperately. (that means i cant start both the systems at a time, its one at a time)
But the problem is of the Oracle Listener, i am not able to start both the systems with single Oracle Listener processes(tnslistener). I tried all the possible scenarios as mentioned in note 98252 but nothing seems to be of any use so far.
the thing is i can start either one of the SAP Systems, But my objective is to start both the SAP Systems with one listener processes (LISTENER) and one listener port (1527)
Or
you can say i am also ready to keep two different listeners for TWO seperate Oracle databases, I tried doing so as per one of the sap notes in which you have to keep different names of listener and different numbers for listener port for second ORACLE database. I tried doing exactly mentioned in the note but yet unsuccessful...
Now i am completely lost as what is to be done since its critical i want you to immediately look into it and suggest me the appropriate solution so that i can set up both of my DEVELOPMENT and QUALITY system running...
To troubleshoot this if you require anything from my side then please feel free to ask me since our functional consultants have to soon start working on the SAP systems.
Regards
Ayush

The note you specified talk about 2 database instances not 2 databases... (I was starting to wonder how you deploy 2 databases), you can have multiple database instances on a DB. The note also give you detailed explanation of the configuration of listener.ora
Now, if this is the case and you have installed 2 instances (not databases) on the same host and configured the listener according to the note, then you should be able to call R3trans -d from both SID's.. if the R3trans fails please post the contents of trans.log here.
the thing is i can start either one of the SAP Systems, But my objective is to start both the SAP Systems with one listener processes (LISTENER) and one listener port (1527)
Then, the configuration of your listener.ora file must be incorrect.
Regards
Juan

Transfer data from one database to another

Hello,
We have an application which uses an Oracle 9i server database. On this server we have two databases ( one for test and one for production ).
From time to time it's required to transfer data from production database to test database.
The steps followed by the ones which made the transfer are:
a) drop the user schema ( the one which contains all data)
b) recreate the user
c) import the data ( using import utility )
d) compile invalid object ( what this will mean I don't know)
It's not possible to delete only the content of the tables and then import data from a dump file? In this way the steps c) and d) will no longer be required. If this is possible can you tell me if is there a command which will delete all data from all table ( almost 2000 tables)?
Thank you fro your help!

I think ..following a,b,c,d is the best way to maintain consistency. you are just thinking about the data in the tables, but what about the changes in views,procedures,functions etc....
compile invalid object ( what this will mean I don't know)create a file xxx.sql with following code and execute it from sql*plus
set echo off
set head off
set feedback off
set timing off
spool compile_invalid_obj.sql
select 'ALTER '||DECODE(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE BODY','PACKAGE',OBJECT_TYPE)||' '||OBJECT_NAME||' '||DECODE(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE','COMPILE PACKAGE;','PACKAGE BODY','COMPILE PACKAGE;','COMPILE;')
from user_objects
where status = 'INVALID';
spool off
set feedback on
set echo on
set timing on
@compile_invalid_obj.sql

Using Database Resident Connection Pooling

Hi all,
 
In trying to use Database Resident Connection Pooling in Oracle 11g, here is what I have done:
 
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> exec DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.START_POOL();
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT STATUS,MINSIZE,MAXSIZE,INCRSIZE,SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS,INACTIVITY_TI
MEOUT
2 FROM DBA_CPOOL_INFO;
STATUS MINSIZE MAXSIZE INCRSIZE SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS
INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT
ACTIVE 4 40 2 20
 300 
 
In tnsnames.ora file, here is what I have put: 
ORA11G =
(DESCRIPTION =
 (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = winxp)(PORT = 1521))
 (CONNECT_DATA =
 (SERVER = DEDICATED)
 (SERVICE_NAME = ora11g)
ORA11GP =
(DESCRIPTION =
 (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = winxp)(PORT = 1521))
 (CONNECT_DATA =
 (SERVER = POOLED)
 (SERVICE_NAME = ora11g)
) 
 
Now, in sqlplus in attempt to use DRCP, here is what I got: 
SQL> CONN HR/HR@ORA11G
Connected.
SQL> CONN HR/HR@ORA11GP
ERROR:
ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE. 
Is there anything I missed to properly use DRCP.
 
Thanks in advance.

According to Metalink note:
Subject: Using DRCP and NTS Authentication Results in ORA-28547
Doc ID: Note:563943.1 Type: PROBLEM
Last Revision Date: 19-MAY-2008 Status: MODERATED
this is a bug on Windows and you should configure client sqlnet.ora so that SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NONE.

Migrating a Database Across Platforms (AIX = W2K)

Has anyone successfully moved a database from one platform to another? I am specifically interested in cloning a 400+G database from AIX to Windows 2000. To add a twist, I would like to know how to do this without using export/import. I am aware that export/import is the only "supported" method of doing this, but is resource intensive, cumbersome and sloppy.
I would appreciate any input, tools, vendors, etc.
Thank you, Paul Tolve.
[email protected]

Have a look at DBArtisan by Embarcadero Technologies. A direct db transfer is not possible because of incompatabilities between the files at the OS level. Is this an actual Migration of the DB to the W2K platform, or is it a copy or clone of the DB's, if it is the latter case, you may want to look at some kind of replication scheme instead.

Transfer whole schema between databases

Hi,
I have a question on how to move an entire schema between two databases which are of the same version and patchset.
I identified the possible methods as follows:
1) Using exp/imp or expdp/impdp, but that's quite slow on larger schemas and the transported data might not be physically the same as on the source database (indexes are rebuilt, tables get loaded with data again....).
2) Using transportable tablespaces. This is fast, the physical data layout is the same as on the source database, but unfortunately only the objects in the transported tablespace get transferred. Schema objects like PL/SQL packages, private synonyms, functions.... and grants aren't transferred since they are stored in the SYSTEM tablespace.
Is there any other way to move a schema between databases? Maybe some combination of expdp/impdp (transfer of user object definitions stored in the SYSTEM tablespace like PL/SQL code, view definitions, etc.) and transportable tablespaces (transfer data segments like tables, indexes....)
From what I know RMAN can't do that since the smallest "logical object" it can restore/recover is the whole tablespace with tablespace point in time recovery.
Thanks in advance for any answer.

Jure

JureIf you have only one business schema, then you may go with duplication of database.
Otherwise, you can go with Schema Based Replication with Streams or as you said combination of expdp/impdp and transport.

How can I create a Standby Database going from AIX to Solaris

Hello All,
I need to create a read-only replica of my Oracle 9i database on AIX to a 9i or greater database on Solaris. The replica must recieve the changes to the master database on an interval. The standard DataGuard solution does not support mixed operating systems.
Is there another way to create the replica? I would prefer not to create triggers on the master tables.
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
If you just wants to have replication, try materialised view. Hope this will work.

Oracle E-business suite database migrate from AIX to Linux

Oracle 11i application database migration from single Aix instance to oracle Linux cluster RAC.
What is the easy way to migrate?
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster.
OR
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster RAC.
We have installed oracle Linux cluster.
Please help me which way I can go with RAC.
Thanks
Prince

Migrating to a single instance will be the simplest. The migration itself will not be much different between the two because you're migrating from one platform to another. The options you have available are, the traditional IMP/EXP, datapump, and RMAN to migrate to either a standalone or RAC environment. The difficulty will be in creating a RAC environment and a little a few extra steps in the RMAN restore. Working with RAC will make things harder, but the actual migration is similar. The steps to IMP/EXP, whether it's traditional or Datapump will be no different. However, standing up a RAC database will be.
