Transfering Databases between machines

I have 2 Oracle 10g servers. One is a live server(named livedb) and the other is a test server(named testdb), both having an instance of a database by the name GATEF.
My problem is that i have to make GATEF@testdb an exact copy of GATEF@livedb.
I have a db dump of GATEF@livedb taken using the exp command, the command being
exp gatef/passwd@livedb FULL=y file=gatefbackup.dmp GRANTS=Y ROWS=y
tablespaces on livedb:
GATEF, SYSAUX, SYSTEM, TEMP, UNDOTBS1, USERS
tablespaces on testdb:
GATEF, SYSAUX, SYSTEM, TEMP, UNDOTBS1, USERS, EXAMPLE
How do i do to import the data into GATEF@testdb.
Thanks in advance
(PS. I am a total newbie to Oracle DBs, so please use baby steps 8-)

Frequently transfering databases between MS SQL and Oracle

Hello all,
I am looking for a solution to easily, efficiently and be able to migrate/transfer databases between MS SQL and Oracle frequently.
I need to be able to replicate a databases on Ms SQL and Oracle for testing purposes. I will need to do this on frequent basis - almost once a week.
Please suggest what would be the best way.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
You have guessed it right to a great extend. Yes dont actually need to develop, rather need to test an application that supports SQL and Oracle databases. Now when testing the application its obviously vital to create proper systematic test data. This usually takes a lot of time and effort from the testing team/team-member. So, yes what I need to do is create the test data on one database(may it be SQL or Oracle) and migrate/transfer the data into the database on another server( ie. SQL to Oracle or Oracle to SQL).
So,
Are you developing a product that works against both SQL Server and Oracle and trying to synchonize development efforts?Yes, thats correct to extend, I need to test an application against both the servers, as it supports both types of databases, and try to reduce the test setup efforts (literally double the amount) that go in after manual creating same data on each type of database.
Are you trying to replicate structural changes between systems?I am not 100% sure, what you mean by this. But whats important and enough for me is to replicate the data. It would not be a lot of work to run the scripts and create empty schema objects.
Are you trying to replicate data changes between systems? The fact that you're only doing this weekly suggests that you're not working in a traditional replication environment.Yes, again as I mentioned above. It would be sufficient for me to just get a copy of the initial dataset. And then replicating changes to it would not be that important. However, if I can achieve a solution to this, I can by all means create a new database on the one server (SQL or Oracle) and take the data-set of the most recent/correct changes and replicate it on the other type of server as and when needed.
No - this is not a traditional replicating environment. I say weekly, because it is usually once in a week or forthnight that someone from the team will need to spent time to manually copy the test-data onto the another type of server in order to run the same testcases on two types of servers.
How do you handle conflicts (i.e. if I modify a row in both systems, which modification wins)? This is not really a problem in my scenario, as I only need to be able to transfer the data across to the different server and forget about the two databases actually being in-sync.
I have also, looked at DTS for a possible solution on SQL, however it seems highly un-realistic, having to map somewhere like 250 tables from the a drop-down list, only because the two database servers use different cases to represent tables internals. So, table 'Table' in my application's SQL database is called 'TABLE' is my applications Oracle database. DTS is highly inefficient in dealing with this. Also, having 250 tables move makes this a bit of a pain.
Thank you Justin for your response; I highly appreciate your inputs.

Transfering playlists between machines

My nano is registered on 3 different machines. I created a playlist in itunes at home on my comp and brought it to work on my nano. I want to transfer the playlist from my nano to my itunes library on my work comp. Currently itunes is not allowing my to do this; when I connect my nano I cannot move the playlist or copy the songs from the playlist. Is there a way for me to do this?

How can I sync Mail database between MAC computers without using IMAP

All, I know this has been asked several times in several forums but I wish to ask it again with a slight twist. The normal question is can I sync Apple mail database (folders) between two MAC computers. The answer is always use IMAP, but unfortunately IMAP is limited on space to store historical emails. I keep mailboxes (on_my_mac) with thousands of emails and attachments that take up a massive amount of space, well beyond any IMAP server allowances. I keep these in order to search conversations that span over many months and sometimes years.
I use GoodSync to sync my normal folders from my MAC Book Pro and my Mac Pro desktop so that I can have the same information (in real time) when working from home on my big machine or at the office using the laptop. This is great except I can not sync the email. I use Outlook 2011 but would prefer to use apple mail if I can sync the two computers (Sync'ing Outlook 2011 is even more impossible).
I also do not want to start and stop my email clients to make this happen and worry about which MAC is running mail and what direction to copy the entire folder structure just to have to follow that up with a new re-build of the index.
Has anyone came up with a viable solution this this problem. Also keep in mind the amount of data - Cloud based solutions are dependent on Internet connection speed (days of initial transfer time and hours to sync) and if I am on my laptop without internet connection, say on an airplane, I would be out of luck so I need the information local on each computer.
Hopefully someone has some ideas, or maybe Apple can take a request for enhancement to Mail to support syncing multiple computers.

I assume that this is a POP system then.
There is no reliable method of syncing the Mail database between 2 Macs. Just how many Gigabytes of Mail do you have?

Disk image moved between machines--shouldn't this work?

Hello, I am having a problem making a functional DVD. Here's the scenario:
I have a MacBook Pro (2009) with iMovie '09 installed, and I have a project I want to burn. The optical drive is broken, and the smart folks at Apple decided that they'd make it impossible for my shiny new external superdrive to work with my MacBook Pro. BUT, I also have a MacBook Air 2012 which can use the superdrive just fine. I can't transfer the iMovie project between machines--iMovie '11 has some terrible bugs when you try to import still photographs. So my solution was this:
--on the MBP, export the movie from iMovie as a quicktime .mov,
--open the .mov in iDVD (after experimentation, this gives MUCH better results than choosing "export to iDVD" in iMovie)
--in iDVD, save as a disk image
--copy the .img file (using a thumb drive) to the MBA
--Use Disk Utility on the MBA to burn the disk image just transferred onto a DVD using the external superdrive
Could someone tell me where this elaborate chain is likely to go wrong? The first disc I tried creating like this could be played on a computer using VLC (and the menu was operational, it wasn't just reading the video file), but it didn't work on either of the regular DVD players I tried.
Any help troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Here are the details of all the settings:iMovie 09 -> export using quicktime -> file type .mov -> compression type H.264, Frame rate current, Key frames automatic, compressor quality Best, encoding Best Quality, Data Rate automatic. In iDVD Preferences I chose NTSC (I'm in North America), encoding Professional Quality, and the correct DVD type (dual layer). In Disk Utility on the MBP I just dragged the transferred .img file into the left-hand pane, selected it and hit Burn.
When I transferred the .img file, that was all I transferred between machines.
Thank you!

the .img file was only ~700 MB (it's a short film). Should it have worked, in this case?
Don't know - May be ?
How can I find out whether it (the ext Hard Disk) is formatted as Mac OS extended?
• Select it on DeskTop/Finder (one Click)
• then go to File and down to Show Info - or - [cmd+I]
• read formatted as : nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
And lastly I read elsewhere that DVD-R would be more reliable than DVD+R.
DVD+R are a more modern format and by so more reliable - BUT OLD DVD-Players can not read them so I chose them due to not knowing what player it will be played on.
And I think that if the DVD was able to be read on another computer, then it could not have had burn errors right?
No - but different devices has better or worse Error Correcting Functions - so keeping the amount of Burn Errors dowm = More devices can play them.
Good Luck.
Yours Bengt W

ITunes not syncing properly between machines and devices

My setup used to work just fine before the updates to syncing, now it is just a big mess.
Before:
iTunes install on my Mac tied to my iPad used primarily for video content and video podcasts.
iTunes install on my Windows machine tied to iPod/iPhone used primarly for audio content and audio podcasts.
Each one was in it's own little world and everything just worked.
Now:
Both iTunes installs are getting the full list of podcasts from each other and their devices, so my audio podcasts are now showing up on the Mac and video podcasts are showin up in Windows. I don't really care that is happening, but the watched/played status is not updating properly across the board. For example, if I watch or listen to a podcast that status is not updating everywhere. Worst case is that on some occasions, items that I have already watched/played are reverting back to unwatched/unplayed status.
Is there a way to get syncing working properly, or do I just need to turn all of those options off and go back to just direct syncing between machine and device?

Jason,
Thanks for your response. I am using Exchange and syncing over-the-air, not using iTunes. As you suggested, I deleted the Exchange account and then set it up again - but that did not work. HOWEVER - observations that I made while doing what you suggested led me down another path, and I was able to solve my problem! So - thanks!
In case anyone else has this problem, here is what my problem was and I how I figured it out (I hope someone finds it useful).
My problem was not an iPhone-to-Exchange sync problem, rather it turned out to be an Entourage-to-Exchange sync problem with the calendar. Turns my entourage calendar folder cache was messed up and had to be "emptied". I found this article that helped me do that: http://www.helpdesk.ilstu.edu/kb/index.phtml?kbid=1453
How I discovered the solution:
As I said, my problem was that calendar items edited or created on the iPhone were not showing up in my calendar when viewed from Entourage. When I deleted the exchange account from my iPhone, the calendar items that were (as far as I knew) ONLY on the iPhone and had not been sync-ed to exchange should have been lost forever. When I put exchange back on the iPhone - those item showed up again. So either the database on the iPhone didn't get erased when I deleted the account or those items REALLY WERE in exchange all along. So, I used Outlook Web Access to view my calendar items in exchange by bypassing entourage - and sure enough, they WERE there all along. That isolated the problem to Entourage and once I figured that out the solution was pretty easy to find.

There is something incompatible would be my guess. Did you disconnect all your peripherals in safe mode just to check?
You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions.

How Do I Share My Database Between More Than One User Account on the Same Mac?

How Do I Share My Database Between More Than One User Account on the Same Mac?

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.

Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.

Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

Is there a way to turn off using ram as intermediary when transfering files between 2 internal hdds? (write cache is off on all drives)

right forum? first time here. none of the options seem perfect. so i guess this applies to 'setup.' i tried to describe what's happening verbosely from the start of a file transfer to completion of writing file to 2nd hard drive.
win 7 64bit home - i2600k 3.4ghz - 8gb of ram - 2hdd 1 ssd
I have this problem when transferring files between 2 internal hard drives. one is unhealthy (slow write speeds but not looking for advice to replace it because it serves its unimportant purpose). so, the unhealthy drive drops into PIO mode - that's acceptable.
however, a little over 1gb of any file transfer is cached in RAM during the file transfer. after the file transfer window closes, indicating the transfer is "complete" (HA!), it still has 1gb to write from RAM which takes about 30minutes. This would
not be a problem if it did not also earmark an additional 5gb of ram (never in use), leaving 1gb or less 'free' for programs. this needlessly causes my pc to be sluggish - moreso than a typical file transfer file between 2 healthy drives. i have windows write
caching turned off on all drives. so this is a different setting i can't figure out nor find after 2 hours of google searches.
info from taskmanager and resource monitor.
idle estimates: total 8175, cached 532, available 7218, free 6771 and the graph in taskman shows about 1gb memory in use.
at the start of a file transfer: 8175, 2661, 6070, 4511free and ~2gb of ram used in graph. No problems, yet.
however, as the transfer goes on, the free ram value drops to less than 1gb (1gb normal +1gb temporary transfer cache +5gb of unused earmarked space = ~7gb), cached value increases, but the amount of used ram remains relatively unchanged (2gb
during transfer and slowly drops to idle values as remaining bits are written to the 2nd hard drive). the free value is even slower to return to idle norms after the transfer completes writing data to 2nd hard drive from RAM. so, it's earmarking an addition
5gb of ram that are completely unused during this process. *****This is my problem*****
Is there any way to turn this function off or limit its maximum size. in addition to sluggishness, it poses risk to data integrity from system errors/power loss, and it's difficult to discern the actual time of transfer completion, which makes it difficult
to know when it's safe to shutdown my pc (any data left in ram is lost, and the file transfer is ruined - as of now i have to use resmon and look through what's writing to disk2 -> sometimes easy to forget about it when the transfer window closed 20-30minutes
ago and the file is still in the process of writing to the 2nd disk).
Any solution would be nice, and a little extra info like whether it can be applied to only 1 hard drive would be excellent.

Thanks for the reply.
(Although i have an undergrad degeee in computers, it's been 15years and my vocab is terrible. so, i will try my best. keep an open mind. it's not my occupation, so i rarely have to communicate ideas regarding PCs)
It operates the same way regardless of the write-cache option being enabled. It's not using the 5gb for read/write buffer - it's merely bloating standby memory during the transfer process at a rate similar to the write speed of destination (for my situation).
at this point i don't expect a solution. i've tried to look through lists of known memory leaks but i dont have the vocabulary to be 100% certain this problem is not documented. as of now it can't affect many people - NAS's with low bandwidth networks, usb
attached storage etc. do bugs get forwarded from these forums? below i can outline the consistent and repeatable nature not only on my pc but on others' pcs as well (2012 forum post i found).
I've been testing and paying a little more attention and i can describe it better:
Just the Facts
Resmon Memory Info: "In Use" stays consistent ~1gb (idle amount and roughly the same when nothing else is running during file transfer)
"Modified" contains file transfer
data (meta data?) which remains consistent at little over 1gb (minor fluctuations due to working as a buffer). After the file transfer window closes "Modified" slowly diminishes as it finishes lazy writing (i believe that's the term). I forget idle
pc amount, but after transfer this is ony 58mb)
"Standby" as the transfer starts it immediately rises to ~2gb. I'm sure this initial jump is normal. However, it will bloat well over 5gb over time with a large enough transfer increasing at a consistent rate during the entire transfer
process. the crux of the matter.
"Free" will drop as far as 35-50megabytes over time.
as the transfer starts, the "Standby" increases by an immediate chunk then at a slow rate throughout entire transfer process(~1mb/s). once writing metadata to RAM no longer occurs, the "Modified" ram slowly (@500kb/s matching resmon disk
activity for that file write) diminishes as it finishes lazy writing, After file is 100% written to destination drive, "Standby" remains a bloated figure long after.
a 1.4gb transfer filled 3677MB of "Standby" by the time writing finished and modified ram cleared. after 20minutes, it's still bloated at 3696MB. after 30-40mins it's down to 2300mb - this is about what it jumps immediately to when transfer starts
- it now remains at this level until i reboot.
I notice the "standby" is available to programs. but they do not operate well. e.g. a 480p trailer on IMDB.com will stop-and-go every 2-3seconds (stream buffers fine/fast) - this would be during the worst case scenario of 35-50mb "Free"
ram. my pc isn't and never was the latest and greatest, but choppy video never happens even with 1 or 2 resource hogs running (video processing/encoding, games, etc).
Conjecture Below
i think it's a problem when one device is significantly slower at writing than the source device - this is the factor that i share with others having this problem. when data is written to modified ram then sent to destination, standby memory is expanded
until it completely or nearly fills all available RAM - If the transfer size is large enough relative to how slow the write speed of destination device is. otherwise it fills it up as much as the file size/write speed issue allows. the term "memory leak"
is used below but may not technically be one, but it's an apt description in layman's terms.
i saw a similar post in these forums (link at end). My problem is repeatable and consistent with others' reports. I wasn't sure if i should revive it with a reply. some of these online message boards (maybe not this one) are extremely picky
and sensitive, lol.the world will end if an old thread revives - even if for a good reason.
i can answer some of the ancillary issues. one person (Friday, September 21, 2012 8:33 PM) mentions not being able to shutdown, i asume he means stuck on the shutdown screen - this is because lazy writing has not completed - his nas write speed is significantly
slower than reading from source - the last bits of data left in ram still needs to be writen to the destination. shutdown will stall for as long as needed until the data finishes writing to destination to prevent data loss.
another person (Monday, September 24, 2012 6:31 PM) mentions the rate of the leak, but the rate is more likely a function of read speed from source relative to write speed of destination. which explains why my standby expands closer to a 1:1 ratio compared
to his 1:100 (he said 10mb per 1000mb)
we all have the same exact results/behaviour, but slightly different rates of bloating/leaking. as the file is written from from the ram to the destination, standby increases during this time - not a problem if read and write speeds are roughly equal (unless
your transfering a terabytes then i bet the problem could rear its head). when writing lags, it gives the opportunity for standby ram to bloat with no maximum except the amount of installed ram. slower the write speed, the worse the problem.
The reply on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 3:04 AM has before and after pictures of exactly what i described in
"Just the Facts". Specifically the resmon image showing the Memory Tab.
The kb2647452 hotfix seems to do some weird things relative to this problem. in the posts that mention they've applied it: after file completes it looks like the "standby" bloat is now "in use" bloat. as per info from Tuesday, October
09, 2012 10:36 PM - bobmtl in an earlier post applies the patch. compare images from earlier posts to his post on this date. seems like a worse problem. Also, his process list indicates it's very unlikely they add up to ~4gb as listed in the color coded bar.
wheres the extra gb's coming from? likely the same culprit of what filled up "standby" memory for me and others. it looks like this patch relative to this problem merely recategorizes the bloat - just changes the title it falls under.

Create a new database on machine which already has one database running?

Hi,
How can I create a new database on machine which already has one database running on Windows platform?
I am totally new to DB and this is the first time I am creating a database.
When I installed Oracle on windows platform database MYDB got created.
Now I want to create another database with the following command on the same machine.
CREATE DATABASE TESTDB
     DATAFILE 'F:\oracle\oradata\testdb\system01.dbf' SIZE 250M REUSE
     CHARACTER SET US7ASCII
LOGFILE
     GROUP 1 ('F:\oracle\oradata\testdb\redo01.log') SIZE 10M,
     GROUP 2 ('F:\oracle\oradata\testdb\redo02.log') SIZE 10M;
But it doesn't work. I unmounted the DB MYDB and then again tried above command. But still didnt work.
How can I create a new database on machine which already has one database running on Windows platform?
Any sort of guidance is appreciated. Thanx in advance.
latin.

Use DBCA.its a GUI tool for creating the database.

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine:
I’ve installed two databases.
When I shutdown one of the database and try to start it up using
Startup pfile=’…location..’;
I get ora-12514: TNS: listener does not currently know of service rquirest in connect descriptor
when I try it again after 3 seconds, I get a new error, ora-01041: internal error. Hostdef extension doesn’t exist
Shutdown and Startup gave no problems when I had one database. Why am I getting problems when I have two databases?
I’m using: show parameter pfile|spfile; to make sure I have the right parameter locations, so the error shouldn’t be from location.
I’ve never installed two databases on one machine, so maybe I’m making a first-timer’s error.
Anyone know how to get this working, i.e. starting and stopping DB without issues?
Using oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 64bit, all is working normal.
Thanks,
Ayman

Still not working though.
When I start the services of both databases using Services, I can connect and run queries from both of the database.
Edited by: aymanzone on Jun 15, 2011 11:47 AMFirstly ... the Oracle Service for the instance should be started for the DB you are trying to connect or start.
Next ... from the command prompt:
set oracle_sid=<Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'
Now, if you want to start or connect to another DB which is on the same server (again assuming the Service is STARTED) ...
From the same command prompt session or other ....
set oracle_sid=<Other_Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'

Transfering contents between 2 nokia mobiles

hey guys....
does any one know how to transfere data between 2 nokia mobile phones ( 6680 and N70)?!!...I want to transfere all the text messages from onbe mobile to another.
thanks

The N70 should be able to install the transfer app on the 6680 I would think - it did on my 6260. It should search for a phone, then install the program like any other.
Then it just dragged everything from the 6260 to the N70, apart from the messages, but as ricksvill suggested, you can use Lifeblog for that.Message Edited by richcowell on 17-Jun-2006

What are the alternate methods of transferring data between apps built on ios

Hi All,
What could be the alternate methods of transferring data between apps built on ios?
Please comment.
Thanks
Pankaj

I'm not aware of any apps that can open pdfs from iBooks, but I could well be wrong. There are a small number of apps that will open pdfs from emails, you can also open pdfs from some applications ike dropbox which has an iOS app so you can access any document you can open on iOS and sync between devices and computers.
Sorry if this is all a little vague, I'm not exactly sure what it is you are asking

External or Internal IP for Database server machine?

We have a web server machine with firewall controlling our network security. This server gets some critical data from a database server machine located also in the same local network. Which IP is secure for database server, Internal or External IP ?
regards
Siyavuş

Internal IP
For security reasons, is better if you could use a DMZ, with the web server in the DMZ, and the database server in the internal network
Something like this:
Internet <-->external firewall <--> DMZ (web server, mail server, etc) <--> internal firewall <--> LAN (database, pcs, etc)
If you want more granularity, you could incluse put the internal servers in another DMZ
