Upgrade repository 9i windows to 10gR2 Linux

I've got a 9i repository on a windows platform that I want to move to a 10gR2 Linux platform. The 10gR2 linux platform doesn't have the developer suite installed. Where do I start?

Essentially use are just moving the repository database on Linux. The software for Designer only exists on Windows. You would therefore (briefly):
- Export your existing repository using the 9i designer software.
- Install the new designer 10g software on a Windows PC and set up the SQL*Net connection to the unix platform.
- Use the Designer admin tools in 10g to do the import with the data going onto the linux database.
That's only me thinking on the fly - you should read the migration guide so tell you exactly how to create the new repository. I'd have both in parrallel and switch off the 9i version once everything has migrated sucessfully.

  • How to upgrade repository database from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3?

    I installed EM10gR3 on Linux. I chose Install Grid Control using a New Database option. The database is 10.1.0.4. How can I upgrade repository database to 10.2.0.3? Shall I install Oracle 10.2.0.3 and then use dbua to upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes. But first of all check that the 10.2.0.3 Repository is compartible with 10.2.0.3 database. You will find this in the Installation Guide. Then use any upgrade type (DBUA, Upgrade Script etc) to upgrade the database.

  • Dual booting pre-installed Windows 8 and Linux?

    I just bought a G780 with Windows 8 pre-installed. Ideally, I would also like to install some flavor of Linux. I've been searching but not finding much info on how difficult or time-consuming this would be, or if there are any special considerations or anything. I've found some guides on dual-booting Windows 8 and Linux but they were all for installing Windows straight from a disk, not anything where it's already pre-installed, and some indicated they thought it might be problematic to use a pre-installed version of Windows. Anyway I was hoping that if anybody has done this on the G780 or even a similar laptop that you could share how it went and any difficulties you encountered. I'm open to using any Linux distro if it'll be easy to install. I would appreciate any info you could share. Thanks.

    I had issues with Windows 8 as pre-installed on my G580, my employer at the time was using Windows 7 only and would not allow upgrades for security purposes.  I deleted the entire drive (including hidden) knowing at some point I would re-install Windows 8 or later from retail disk when needed.
    Linux can resize partitions during the install process, but be careful not to disturb the hidden partition or the windows boot loader in the process.  Linux Mint is the best yet for this purpose, OpenSUSE and Fedora failed, CentOS failed and Ubuntu was not able to boot, but did not "hurt" the windows partitions.
    Good luck.

  • OWB on windows - load in linux database

    Hello,
    Now that I have understood that I need to create a repository owner in the database where I load my data, I'm facing another problem :
    Using the repository assistant from windows, I have tried to create a repository owner on a linux database, but there is a step named "Oracle home for the OWB Installation" where I am blocked. The error message globally says that I need to install OWB on the linux machine.
    So my question is : do I don't understand the message or do I really need to install OWB on the linux machine even if I have the product installed on a windows server ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    You need to install the repository on the target database (linux). You just install the client on your windows machine.
    You need to download the OWB binaries (.gz file) from oracle website matching your linux configuration (hardware/software) and unzip and place it under some directory in linux.
    Lets say /oracle/owb10gr2
    When you unzip you should see /oracle/owb10gr2/owb.. and all the other directories
    You can install the OWB repository using your windows client . When you reach step "Oracle home for the OWB Installation"
    give the path of your OWB home on linux i.e /oracle/owb10gr2
    i hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sam.

  • Windows 10 fails on newer dualboot Windows 8.1/Linux, worked on older Windows 7.1/Linux

    I did not have any trouble upgrading my windows 7 / linux hp laptop, just my windows 8.1 / linux hp laptop. I have 3 hp laptops, actually 4, one died. I am familiar with dual booting and grub. Thanks for recommending the paper anyway. Will windows 10 run on my dv6 7245us laptop? The upgrade always fails on this system as described in my original post.

    If you are storing text data instead of binary data, replace "blob" by "clob" in the searches.

    I've been running 64-bit Windows 8 Consumer Preview very nicely for several months and want to upgrade to 64-bit Windows Pro on my Pavilion a1440n. When I've tried to install from within the OS I get weird messages indicating that it can't be installed on a USB Flash drive (which I'm not trying to do). When I tried doing a clean install I got an odd message saying that certain installer files were missing and it would not complete. I called Microsoft customer support and the agent there thought my cpu would work because it wouldn't support Hyper-V, even though I understand that it optional. From running coreinfo.exe I can see that I have the PAE, NX, and SSE2 on the cpu enabled as meets requirements.
    When I ran through th HP site I saw that this machine has not been tested. Is there any way of getting confirmation that Windows 8 Pro 64-bit will or won't run on my machine? The HP Product code for it is ER904AA#ABA.
    Thanks!

  • Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade issue (from Windows 8 Pro) on Envy 23 TouchSmart All-In-One​...

    Hello,
    I have an HP Envy 23 Touchsmart All-In-One that I purchased a year ago (around 12/2012). It came preinstalled with Windows 8.
    System Information:
    a) Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770S CPU @ 3.10 GHz
    b) 8192 MB of RAM
    A few weeks after I had bought the system, I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center that I purchased through Microsoft's upgrade program.
    Last week (10/19/2013), I saw the upgrade option to Windows 8.1 in the store and decided to upgrade.
    After a few minutes, I got a prompt asking me to restart the computer and I did.
    However, I noticed that the screen went blank, but it really didn't restart - I saw that the hard disk light was still blinking and I waited for around 15 minutes. I know it didn't restart because if it did I would have seen the HP logo on the BIOS screen. A little later, the system went into sleep mode (at least, the power button light was blinking slowly as if it was on sleep). Since it was late at night, I decided to leave the system alone and decided to check on it next morning. Next morning, it was still in sleep mode (as I feared) - when I tried to wake it up from sleep by moving the mouse/hitting the return key, it made the exact sounds as if it was waking up from sleep (as it always does), but the screen was still blank. The power button slight was glowing steadily indicating that it is awake now.
    At this point, I decided to power down the system by holding the power button for a few seconds. Upon reboot, I saw the HP logo on the BIOS bootup screen and then the screen went blank and nothing came up.
    So I decided to do a system recovery using my Windows 8 recovery CD and powered down the system with the CD in its slot. This time, the system came up and immediately started restoring my OS to a previous version.
    Upon logging in to the recovered system, I got the following message:
    "Couldn't update to Windows 8.1
    Sorry, we couldn't complete the update to Windows 8.1. We've restored your previous version of Windows to this PC.
    0xC1900101 - 0x40019".
    I tried reinstalling Windows 8.1 a couple of times after this. Once by disabling all the non-Microsoft services and disabling all the startup programs. Still the same result.
    I don't have any antivirus software on my system other the default Microsoft system protection software.
    Any help, much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7 Keyboard Filter Issue

    I really need some help with this...
    I upgraded vista to Windows 7 full retail version.
    Compatability check said to update keyboard filter. I couldnt find much info about this and assumed it wouldnt affect it too much except extra functions I probly never use.
    Unfortunately, my keyboard doesnt function properly at all.
    Im using HP G30-260US laptop.
    I have now disconnected the keyboard ribbon and plugged in a usb keyboard, quite a pain to use this one, but at least its working. I would really like to know of a fix for this issue to get my real keyboard working and windows 7 is already running on this computer, from upgrading, not a clean install. I've tried installing a different quick launch buttons driver and uninstalled it completely after windows 7 but no success.

  • Dual boot with Windows 7 and LINUX - Tecra A11 (PTSE1A-00L005)

    Hi,
    I bought a new Tecra A11 Laptop which runs WIN7 Pro. I want to install LINUX also. That means, I want to run my laptop in dual boot Win7 Pro/LINUX (any distributor). Please tell me how to do that.
    There are 5 partitions on the HDD:
    1. Active, Recovery partiton 1.46 Gb (no drive letter)
    2. Active Primary C: Boot 145.04 Gb (NTFS)
    3. Active Logical E: 78.13 Gb (NTFS)
    4. Active Logical F: 64.25 Gb (NTFS)
    5. Primary Partition 9.2 Gb (no drive letter, application unknown)
    Hey, I need it badly, because I have admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)
    Please help me

    Hi
    I may not be able to give You a step-by-step explanation but most distros today offer a possibility to co-exist with Windows.
    During the installation the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!!)
    What exact setup is needed by You is impossible for anyone else to say, but I would suggest to make the space occupied by the F drive available for Linux.
    You seem to have space enough for Windows and the Linux OS does not need much.
    Some thoughts concerning your partition setup:
    I would NOT touch 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and some system internal partitions (recovery environment and data) and would not be fun to lose.
    1. Active, Recovery partiton 1.46 Gb (no drive letter)
    2. Active Primary C: Boot 145.04 Gb (NTFS)
    3. Active Logical E: 78.13 Gb (NTFS)
    4. Active Logical F: 64.25 Gb (NTFS)
    5. Primary Partition 9.2 Gb (no drive letter, application unknown)
    So pick a Distro (my suggestion Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse - Fedora will be the one closest related to RedHat) which will guide You through the steps to allocate space for Linux.
    I would suggest however to remove the drive F in Windows so Linux does not start resizing all partitions.
    I am sure that will work fine, but will just take time and the pretty unnecessary F drive will most surely be kept.
    If You already have valuable data on your unit, make sure to back it up!! No software comes with warranties :)
    Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a recovery set with the help of Toshiba Recovery media creator BEFORE you start installing Linux.
    If something goes wrong You might want to have the possibility to put the unit back into factory state.
    Good luck and keep asking if You need additional help!

I can just upgrade the previous Windows 7 partition, but I only allocated 37 GB originally, so I want to expand it - I would therefore need to delete the partition and make a new one. However, dual-booting guides say that Windows should be first. What is the best way to go about this?

    Note that Secure Boot is NOT synonymous with EFI. Secure Boot is one optional feature of EFI. In fact, of five computers I've got that use EFI, only one supports Secure Boot.
    I did know that
    Microsoft requires manufacturers to ship their computers with Secure Boot enabled in order to get a Windows 8-compatible sticker. Because most manufacturers consider the lack of such a sticker to be the kiss of death for their products, this means that nearly all computers that ship with Windows 8 ship with Secure Boot enabled. Because Secure Boot is an EFI feature, this means that these computers also use EFI.
    This does not mean that Windows 8 itself requires either EFI or Secure Boot; the requirement is a marketing requirement for new computers. If you buy a Windows 8 package at the store, it will install on an older BIOS-only computer (assuming it's not too old), on an EFI computer that lacks Secure Boot support, on an EFI computer with Secure Boot support but with that feature disabled, or on an EFI computer with Secure Boot and Microsoft's keys enabled. (It is possible to replace your firmware's Secure Boot keys, which would prevent the installation of Windows unless you re-signed the Windows boot loader yourself.)
    Note also that it's possible to switch Secure Boot on and off, at least on x86-64 systems. (Microsoft's Windows 8 sticker requirements specify that users must be able to do this on x86-64 systems; but on ARM computers, Microsoft's sticker requirements say that users must not be able to disable Secure Boot.) Windows 8 should continue to boot when you turn Secure Boot on or off; however, some versions of GRUB have problems chainloading to other EFI boot loaders (including the Windows boot loader) when Secure Boot is enabled.
    Thanks, that's very informative.
