Upgrading from unix 8i to windows 10g

Hi,
I am upgrading the oracle 8i in unix to oracle10g in windows 2000 server.
I just exported from oracle8i
exp system/manager file=full.dmp full=y That was fine.
and then,
I installed the oracle10g in windows box and create the tablespaces as the oracle8i with same name (tablespace,datafile...etc)
and then I tried to import the full.dmp file to oracle10g,
But there are lots of error messages.
I don't know what the problem is.
is there something wrong the procedures what i've done?
Help.....
Thanks

Export and import is by far the easiest approach.
Pre-creating the tables is pretty easy. Take the export, run it through import with the INDEXFILE parameter to get the DDL. Use your favorite text editor to remove the clauses like PCTINCREASE that are invalid in a locally managed tablespace. Create the tables using that DDL, then run the import.

  • After upgradation from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g,one proc is throwing error

    recently upgraded from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g. We have some Oracle procedures which are not working in Oracle 10g.
    A section of code from one of the procedures looks somewhat like the code below:
    Declare
    Cursor c_matched_records (…..) is
    Select a.field 1, b.field2
    From table1 a, table2 b
    Where a.field3=b.field1
    FOR UPDATE;
    BEGIN
    For records in c_matched_records
    LOOP
    -- Continue processing
    -- Update records
    COMMIT;
    END LOOP;
    END;This section of the code throws out the following error in Oracle 10g
    ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence during PUT outputFile file
    However this code was working fine in Oracle 9i.
    please help me with this?
    Thanks

    I believe you are lucky that the pl/sql is okay in Oracle 9i. How about remove the commit statement? Why do you need it in the loop. I look up metalink. You may refer to article ID 257914.1

  • Have you moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server

    I am looking for people that have moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server...
    Would you do it again ?
    Did you save money ?
    Were you using Zones to virutalize on Unix ?
    Did you gain or loose overall Performance ?
    Have you had to perform a recovery on SQL Server ? 
    Have you done a recovery in Oracle ?
    Were you using Rman ?
    Which worked better ?
    We are going through an analysis of does it really make sense, save money and effect performance to move from a strong unix/oracle environment to a MS/SQL environment.

    Hi,
    All our R/3 legacy systems are Windows/Oracle.
    All the new systems (BW, SRM, CRM, XI) are Windows/MSSQL.
    It was an order from the management to make the switch because of the high prices of Oracle licences.
    The official motto is now Oracle on Unix only and SQL server on Windows only.
    We get the same level of performance as with Oracle, but we, old SAP Oracle grumpy admins, are much more comfortable with Oracle admin than SQL server admin.
    imho, SQL server may seem simplier but it is much easier to look under the hood whith Oracle.
    We have to reinvent the wheel and it's kind of frustrating but we will cope with it...
    I would say that SQL server is not a good choice for BW usage because there is a lot more litterature on BW database optimisation for Oracle than MSSQL.
    The official SAP class does not speak at all about SQL server but has several chapters on Oracle...

  • Having upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10, what is on the recovery drive?

    I am new to the forum, I hope I have posted in the right place.   Having upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10, what is on the recovery drive? if its not windows 10 what must I do to create a new recovery drive? or should I delete it? I have a USB recovery for windows 8.1 if I should need it. I have created a windows 10 repair disk and have a system image on an external hard drive. I dont beleave I actually need the recovery drive as I have a backup option, but I would be good to have the option to recover from the drive. I understand the backup otion I have will allow me to recover if I lose the drive. Please advise Thank you in advance.

    Your recovery partition will still be Windows 8.1.  Hp wont give you free Windows 10 recovery media even if your laptop is brand new with Windows 8.1 installed.

  • Db migration from Solaris 8i to windows 10g

    There is requirement to move db from solaris8(dbversion8170 to window Server 2003 (10204 already installed)
    DB is about 80gb big, what would be the best approach ?
    I am thinking to create new db on windows, and export and import data.....any concerns/suggestion?

    TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

    what are other options i can try ?I only mention this approach because you asked. I wouldn't recommend it as a general strategy. exp/imp is the most straight-forward.
    We are in the process of migrating from 9.2.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 (11.2 is not an approved standard yet in our enterprise), moving from Solaris to Linux, and consolidating two related instances into one.
    We had to handle some unique situations due to our consolidation, so we did a lot of the steps manually that exp/imp does for you. A side benefit of this extra work is the actual down time is can be less than exp/imp itself, and avoids the need to dump all the data to disk and read it all again. We have about 500GB to migrate. It is a lot more work than a simple exp/imp, and is probably not be worth the effort for a single 80GB instance.
    Our steps (oversimplified, there are more details than this) :
    Set up the new instance and configure storage
    Create users and roles in new DB
    export structure only (using 9i exp)
    import structure only (using 11g imp), without indexes or constraints
    copy data (insert /*+APPEND*/ into.. select * from ... over a database link)
    create indexes and constraints
    Handling LONG data, materialized views, interdependencies between schemas each presented their own special circumstances I had to deal with.
    The other path to get from 8i to 10g (mentioned only for academic reasons) is do a series of upgrades-in-place to get from 8i to 10.2.0.4 then use cross-platform transportable tablespaces to go from Solaris to Windows.

  • File transfer from UNIX server to Windows server path

    Hello Experts, (Gud Even Gud Aft & Gud Mor)
    Is there a way to transfer file from UNIX server(Oracle database), to Windows server? All I know if Windows path. I am able to read the file as it is on server, however it does not recognize Windows directory at all.
    If you can share some documents around this to study, I will be grateful.

NFS on the Unix server sharing the directory containing the file. FTP server on Unix allowing the file to be read and copied. OpenSSH on the Unix allowing the file to be read and copied via scp (secure copy).
    But seeing as this is an Oracle database forum (not an operating system forum), and the subject matter is the database server languages SQL and PL/SQL, here is a PL/SQL solution.
    Create a table using the BFILE data type for referencing the files on the Unix o/s. Provide a web enabled procedure for downloading the files via HTTP using a web browser. This procedure will look something as follows:
    --// URL example: http://my-server.my-domain.com/MyDAD/MySchemaName.StreamFile?fileID=1234
    create or replace procedure StreamFile( fileID number ) AUTHID DEFINER is
            mimeType        varchar2(48);
            fileName        varchar2(400);
            lobContent      BLOB;
    begin
            --// read the LOB from a table (this example uses the
            --// Apex file uploads table - change it to your own files table)
            select
                    f.filename,
                    f.mime_type,
                    f.blob_content
                            into
                    fileName,
                    mimeType,
                    lobContent
            from    FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ f
            where   f.id = fileID;
            --// format a basic HTTP header that describes the file stream send
            OWA_UTIL.mime_header( mimeType, FALSE );        -- e.g. text/csv text/plain text/html image/gif
            HTP.p( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||fileName );
            HTP.p( 'Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.GetLength(lobContent) );
            OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
            --// now write the BLOB as a mime stream using the Web Procedural Gateway's
            --// doc load API
            WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file( lobContent );
    exception when OTHERS then
            --// Decide what HTML to generate (if at all) if there is a failure
            --// (usually not a good idea to show database errors to the
            --// web browser client as that can provide technical details
            --// that could be useful for exploiting the database)
            HTP.prn( 'StreamFile() failed with '||SQLERRM(SQLCODE) );
    end;
    / On Windows, IE can be used interactively to copy the file across. For automation (via PowerShell or console jobs), use a command like tool like wget* to download the file.
    If you do not want to use SQL or PL/SQL as the file copy mechanism, then please close this thread (mark as answered) and take your question to an appropriate forum.

  • Upgrading from Ventura to ID: Windows or Mac?

    We are a small non-profit, wanting to upgrade from Ventura (dont laugh!) to InDesign for our scientific journal. We have virtually no IT support. Would it be better to operate InDesign in our existing Windows XP environment or switch to Macs? Our IT guy says that if we get Macs, well need to keep our PCs for Outlook email. (And, no, we cant get new IT support)
    If this is the wrong question for the forum, please excuse the posting.
    Thank you!

    FWIW, I, too, and sadly, I admit, had to make the move from Ventura to InDesign last November. Ventura 10 is still a great program and under other circumstances (owners) could have been a market contender.
    But that's neither here nor there. ID CS4 is great. There are still some things that Ventura can do that I don't seem to be able to readily replicate in ID, but then I'm still in the learning process.
    There is no reason, as others have noted, to switch to Macs to run ID. I certainly didn't for our machines. Windows XP works fine. But one recommendation for the switchover: buy a copy of InDesign CS4 Visual Quickstart Guide by Sandee Cohen (ISBN 0321573579) and keep it handy. I have found that I still think in Ventura terms and Cohen's book is a great reference for figuring out how to do in ID CS4 what came naturally (as a result of years of use) in Ventura 10.

  • Is it possible to write an image data from unix database to windows client?

    Hello Sir/Madam,

    Hi,
    if you use Oracle forms 10g+ you can use the webutil to do whatever you want between db server and client pc. There are numerous examples on the net, for example:

  • Upgrading from Forms 6i to Forms 10g

    Does Forms 10g support direct upgradation from 6i to 10g version or have to go step wise from 6i to 9i and 9i to 10g. Also suggest ways of handling the run time errors arising. Does Oracle provide some patches to facilitate a smooth transition fromo 6i to 10g.

    Thanx Grant,
    Can you also suggest as to what complications can arise as many built-ins in 6i have been discarded in 10g. Does the pathes available take in most part of the work in upgradation. I have around 1000 forms in 6i on a complex finance & insurance sectar. Will be pleased if you can suggest the best way of migration.
    As suggested the bath mode will be the likely option as individually compiling each .FMB would be combursome.
    Are there some specific de-bugging tools available.

  • Re: Upgrade from Vista 32bit to Windows 7

    Dear Sirs
    I need your support that how will I upgrade to 32bit Windows 7 from Vista.
    Regards.

    I must confess from the get-go that my knowledge of the finer points of computers in general is limited, but I've heard that 64-bit is the way to go. I bought my system from Dell about 12 months ago. Since I didn't build it, I can't tell you what mother board I've got (Dell refuses to easily divulge that bit of info and it's kind of a huge problem), but I do know:
    Intel Q6600 @ 2.4 GhZ
    4 GB DDR2 800
    Radeon HD 3870 512 MB
    W/ Vista Ultimate 32-bit
    So, my question is can I buy an upgrade kit to go from Vista 32 to Windows 7 64 or will I need to straight buy Windows 7 64 bit and install it? Will I need to update the BIOS? Is casual gaming, photo and video editing and HD video viewing even worth 64-bit? Again, since I don't know what mobo I have, all this may be for nothing because the board may not do 64-bit..

  • Firefox 12 won't start after upgrade from 3.6 in Windows XP with SP3

    When I start up firefox after an upgrade to 12 on my Windows XP with SP3 I see the firefox.exe process in Window's Task Manager but it never starts i.e. I never see a browser page. If I try to start it again I get an error message that it is already running.
    I have rebooted and even uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox but no browser appears.
    Is it possible for my to download the version I had (3.6) and I can just live with that or is there a work-around to get Firefox 12 to work on my desktop?
    Thanks

    Well I was able to run the profile creator one time (firefox.exe -p) and I created a profile with it but still not able to start firefox. So I tried to start it again after rebooting. It starts a process which I can see in Task Manager but now I don't get either the Profile Manager dialog box or FF.
    I also tried to start the profile manager with this command: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p.
    I terminated the firefox process and tried again but get the same results.
    BTW, this command: %APPDATA%\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES shows a profile called m6woxz30.default, which is not the name I choice for my profile the one time I got the Profile Manager to run.
    BTW, thanks for your help and ideas.

  • "Upgrading" from Adobe Acrobat for Windows to Adobe Acrobat for OS X (Mac)

    I own Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard but no longer use it because I purchased a Mac. Can I "upgrade" to a Mac version of Adobe Acrobe Acrobat?

    No upgrades from Acrobat 7 are available for anyone - they finished long ago, unfortunately. Only Acrobat 9 upwards are eligible.
    You would simply need to purchase Acrobat XI (11) Pro for Mac.
    (Note if anyone happens to have a recent version of Acrobat Standard and wants to upgrade to Acrobat Pro for Mac, this is called a "crossgrade" and only available by directly talking to Adobe customer service).
