Transportable tablespace accross different oracle versions

Hi
Do I need same oracle versions if I want to transport tablespaces ?
i.e Can I transport tablespaces from oracle9i to oracle 11g ? or from oracle 10g to oracle 11g ?
I read the documents however Im still confused.

Thanks, I have read the document and notice that from oracle 10g and onwards I can transport tablespaces accross different oracle versions.
I think we can change the endian format via rman hence no need to have same endian format
"Beginning with the Oracle10g database, a tablespace can always be transported to a database with the same or higher compatibility setting, whether the target database is on the same or a different platform."

Different Oracle versions Replication?

Hello,
We want to create a replication in our laptop.
The server has oracle 9i rel.1. In the laptop we want to install oracle 9i rel. 2.
Can we replicate part of the database using different Oracle DBMS versions?
As a comment: The replication is SDE information.
Thanks,

DBConnect with two different oracle versions

Hullo folks,
I've been looking for threads concerning the use of SAP BI's DBConnect tool with multiple external oracle databases.
My client is currently using BI 3.5 and we have successfully used DBConnect to extract information from an external Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 database (btw BW uses the same oracle version).
Currently my customer requests to extract information from a new external non-sap application. This application will be using an oracle database as well, but it will use the latest oracle version, 10.
I know that in the past it wasn't possible to use DBConnect with different oracle versions as the differences were to big. I wonder whether this is also the case with the oracle 9 and 10 versions. Would it be possible to use both versions and extract the data with DBConnect? Or are the changes too big and SAP BW can only pick one of these versions? Perhaps there's a workaround? I don't know, and I'm hoping some of you know something.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer,
though this doesn't answer my question. Yes, I know I'll have to create a different sourcesystem for the new oracle database.
However, I can only use one ini file for Oracle in DBConnect. In the past it wasn't possible to have active connections with different versions of oracle databases (you can only have one file for oracle installed in DBConnect).
The question is, whether it's possible to have a connection with two source systems where one uses Oracle 10 and the other Oracle 9... and if it's possible which file should be used in DBConnect...

Transports between different Oracle versions

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to have DEV, QAS on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PRD on Oracle 9.2.0.8? Will the transports work?
Thanks & Regards,
tamilboyus

> Is it possible to have DEV, QAS on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PRD on Oracle 9.2.0.8? Will the transports work?
Sure - the whole transport thing works database independently.
But you should really move on with your Oracle versions there - 10.2.0.2: old, 9.2.0.8: damn old...

Transportable tablespace procedure in oracle 9i

Hi all,
We are using oracle 9.2.0.7 version in our production.In that one tablespace is having 160GB but objects size is 60Gb,am unable to get back the remaining space.So we are planning for either creating new tablespace and moving all the objects to that and dropping earlier one or transportable tablespace(not sure whether it is possible)
So please suggest me the better approch. help me out to transport a tablespace procedure
Thanks a lot

exp/imp is the other option.
Or you can use this query find out the object (table/index) on high water mark and just move them.
select a.tablespace_name
       ,a.file_name
       ,(b.maximum+c.blocks-1)*d.db_block_size highwater
from   dba_data_files a
       ,(select file_id,max(block_id) maximum
         from dba_extents
         group by file_id) b
       ,dba_extents c
       ,(select value db_block_size
         from v$parameter
         where name='db_block_size') d
where a.file_id = b.file_id
and   c.file_id = b.file_id
and   c.block_id = b.maximum
order by a.tablespace_name,a.file_name

I see that there are several not needed date to char conversions. I could imaging that they confuse the query merge mechanism. Other than that: try to strip down the query to the smallest posisble set of colum combination. So that you can see where the error comes from.

Dataguard between different oracle versions

Can I dataguard an 11.1.0.6 database to a backup 11.2.0.1 database

For rolling upgrade purposes yes. But only to a Logical standby. And you can also use the transient Logical standby rolling upgrade as well if you are a Physical standby user.
See the following:
Mixed Oracle Version support with Data Guard Redo Transport Services (Doc ID 785347.1) on Oracle Support

Different plsql for different Oracle versions

Hi everyone,
I am working on a plsql script which may be run on multiple databases. Unfortunately, I have a need to run one query type if the version is 10g, and another if it is 9i. The 10g query is preferable for the type & amount of information it returns, but 9i does not have the same level of support. I wrote the below (dumbed down for posting purposes) to do this:

Hi,
Dynamic SQL, like John suggested, might be the most elegant solution, but here are some others to consider:
(1) Create dummy objects. Your code guarantees that you'll never get a run-time error trying to query v$sql in Oracle 9, but the problem is that you're getting a compile-time error just by referencing it. So create a v$sql: a dummy table in your own schema, a synonym to the Oracle 10 data dictionary via a database link, anything just so it compiles.
(2) Create real objects. For example, in your Oracle 9 database, create a view called v$sql, based on v$sqlarea and v$session, that has all the same columns you use in Oracle 10. If you can do this, you won't even need an IF statement in your PL/SQL; the same code that runs against the data dictionary v$sql in Oracle 10 will run against your own schema's v$sql in Oracle 9.
(3) Isolate the problems. Write two different versions of a package, one for each version, and put all version-dependent code in the package. In most of your code, call the procedure to do the version-dependent stuff. For example, don't open a cursor in your program: instead, call the package to open a cursor.
(4) Comment Out. Klugy but cute. Write your PL/SQL without IF statements, like this:
BEGIN
&v10     for csr_10g in (SELECT sql_fulltext, a.parsing_schema_name, b.name, b.value_string
&v10                         FROM V$SQL a left outer
&v9     for csr_9i in (SELECT a.sql_Text, b.Schemaname
&v9                         FROM v$sqlarea a left outer join v$session b ON a.parsing_schema_id=b.schema#
&v9                                                                                  join v$sql_bind_capture b ON a.SQL_ID = b.SQL_ID)
          loop
&v10            dbms_output.put_line(csr_10g.sql_fulltext||';'|| csr_10g.parsing_schema_name||';'|| csr_10g.name||';'|| csr_10g.value_string);
&v9            dbms_output.put_line(csr_9i.sql_text||';'|| csr_9i.schemaname||';');
         end loop;
END;Compile your PL/SQL in SQL*Plus.
Define two substitution variables: v10 and v9.
In Oracle 10, v10 make " " and make v9 "--".
In Oracle 9, v10 make "--" and make v9 " ".
You can do the assignments on the fly with the SQL*Plus "COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE" command.
In either database, code that only works in the other version will be commented out. Your code will look like hell (good spacing and comments will make it less hard to read), but it will compile and work.
None of these ideas are mutually exclusive. You might want to do dynamic SQL in some places, and use on dummy objects in others, for example.

Shared Listener with different oracle versions

Hi,
I have configured the following shared listener for two databases running with different versions.
I have started the O02TXN3-9i along with the shared listener and then listener was started with 9i version and then I brought up the O01TXN3 -10g.
Please let me know whether I can connect to the 10g database O01TXN3 remotely with shared listener.
Note: Please find listener and oratab files below.

As a general rule, only one listener is required for a machine as long as all database versions are currently supported. (In other words one listener for Oracle7 and Oracle11g will not work.)
As a general rule, an old listener MAY not be able to handle the features of the newer database (such as transferring blobs was a limitation in Oracle8). Therefore use the newest listener to handle all the databases.
As a general rule, listeners can be considered independent of databases in a sense similar as ASM. Therefore it's not a bad idea to have a separate ORACLE_HOME specifically to install the listener. This is especially useful if you have multiple databases with differing service level agreements,
I'd want to see
1) the output of lsnrctl status
2) any console session stuff and copy/paste to be surrounded by preview tages as described in the FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/faq.html#q14)

Install client for two different oracle versions

hello, right now I'm involved in two different projects, which work with Oracle 9i and 10g, and I need to access both databases from the same computer. My question is if it's possible to install the client software for both versions without problems.
Thank you

The problem is that the client for 9i is already installed in that machine, and it can't be uninstalled. So I need to install 10g client software, but without uninstalling the other one, only if this operation doesn't generate any conflicts. Is there an official Oracle document or somethign similar about this topic?

Dbstart & different oracle versions

I have a couple different versions of oracle running on one box (9.2.0.4, 9.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.2).
The dbstart being called is in the 9.2.0.4 directory. It failed to start the instances in 9.2.0.7 when the machine was last restarted.
If I call the 10.2.0.2 dbstart, will it start all the instances (for all 3 versions)?
Also, is it true that 9.2.0.4 dbstart will not start 9.2.0.7?
I don't have a reliable way to test this as I can't restart nodes.
Thanks!

Which ever dbstart you call, it will look for oratab to choose the correct ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc..
Therefore, all dbstart should work for all instances on the server, if you make the oratab entry correct.
# On Solaris
# ORATAB=/var/opt/oracle/oratab
# All other UNIX platforms
# ORATAB=/etc/oratab
# Entries are of the form:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.

Oracle 10gR2 - Any way to speed up Transportable Tablespace Import?

I have a nightly process that uses expdp/impdp with Transportable Tablespace option to copy a full schema from one database to another. This process was initially done with just expdp/impdp, however the creation of the indexes started to slow down the process at which time I switched to using Transportable Tablespace.
In the last 3 months, the number of objects in the schema has not changes however the amount of data has increased 15.73%. At the same time, the Transportable Tablespace impdp has increased 30.77% in time to process.
Is there any way to speed up a Transportable Tablespace impdp in Oracle 10gR2? The docs show that I cannot use parallel with TTS. I have excluded STATISTICS in the export.
Eventually I will be moving away from doing this TTS expdp/impdp, however for now I need to do what I can to contain the amount of time it takes to process.
Environment: Oracle 10.2.0.4 (source and destination) on Sun Solaris SPARC v10. We are not using ASM currently. Tablespace is 6 datafiles for a total of 87.5GB, 791 tables, 1924 indexes, 1773 triggers, and 10 LOBs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

My reading of this thread was that there was a need to be able to do offline setups when the client had lost oracle lite (we get this on PDAs all the time when they go totally dead), so the CD install is something that can be sent out.
Any install (CD or otherwise) will be empty in terms of applications and data, not much you can do about that on a CD, but depending on the type of device and the storage possibilities you have you can secure the database and application files seperately. for example on a PDA using the external SD or flash for the data and file storage will keep them when the orace directory is lost from main storage and therefore all thet is needed after the oracle lite recovery is to recreate the odbc file (and possibly polite if you have special parameters). The setting of the crr flags for 'real' data on the server is a trick to bring the database up to date without a total rebuild.
NOTE if you use SD cards etc. on PDAs/small devices, beware of windows ce/mobile power up differential between main memory and external storage. If you power down in the middle of an update or query, you can get device read/write errors when the device powers up due to processing continuing before the storage media is active

Transport Tablespace Issues

hi.. i'm trying to use transport tablespace across the same platforms rather than performing export/import . i'm following the steps in Note:371556.1to exp/imp ASM files.
i have finished all the steps and successfully transport the tablespace. this process involved only 2 TBS, CC_DATA and CC_INDEXES and the schema is CC. i choose to check the full containment before the export done. but when i count the objects before export and after the import, the count is different. the question is how to make the count of objects is same before and after transport.
before export
SQL> select count(*), object_type from user_objects group by object_type;
COUNT(*) OBJECT_TYPE
33 SEQUENCE
3 DATABASE LINK
55 TABLE
82 INDEX
19 SYNONYM
39 VIEW
6 rows selected.
after import
SQL> select count(*), object_type from user_objects group by object_type;
COUNT(*) OBJECT_TYPE
82 INDEX
55 TABLE
thanks in advance.

It's a limitation on transportable tablespace (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#i1007233)
You cannot transport the SYSTEM tablespace or objects owned by the user SYS. Some examples of such objects are PL/SQL, Java classes, callouts, views, synonyms, users, privileges, dimensions, directories, and sequences.So you need to transfer the views, sequences,etc., one method is using exp/imp.
