Upgrading Oracle 9.2 (32bit Windows 2000) to 10.2 (64bit Windows 2003)

Hello all,
We currently run SolMan v3.1 on aged 32bit hardware and we plan to upgrade this to SolMan v4 on a new 64bit infrastructure. As part of this task, we would also like to move from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 x64 and from Oracle 9.2 to Oracle 10.2
The current situation is that the new server is built to Windows 2003 x64 level only. Nothing else is installed on the new server at this time. My plan was to install Oracle 9.2 and SolMan 3.1 and then take a system copy of the existing database and then upgrade it to SolMan v4 and Oracle 10.2 (leaving the old system as-is for recovery reasons, should we run into problems).
Has anyone any experience of doing this in a Windows and Oracle environment who could help me with getting this right?
Many thanks,
Arwel Owen.

Hi all,
As this is a fairly low-priority upgrade, we decided to try to experiment a little to try to avoid the ORacle 9 to 10 upgrade. We decided upon the following approach:
1) Install Windows 2003 x64 (on new server)
2) Install Oracle 10.2 x64
3) Install SolMan v3.1
4) Export existing SolMan v3.1 database (from existing server)
5) Import existing SolMan v3.1 database (onto new server)
6) Upgrade to SolMan v4
We have installed Oracle 10.2 and applied 10.2.0.2 Patchset 1 and all seemed okay. We are now installing SolMan v3.1, but SAPinst crashes out after specifying the SAP system directory and transport host and just before starting the database-dependent cations. The error message is:
<b>ERROR: MDB-06168. Oracle is not installed on this host. Install Oracle before continuing.</b>
Oracle definitely IS installed, but it appears that SAPInst for SolMan v3.1 may be too old to recognise Oracle 10.2.
I thought I'd ask for advice before I go and butcher the KEYDB.XML and ORADBPAR.XML files. (It's only a test install!)
Thanks,
Arwel.

    How big is the database ? How much downtime can you afford ? One option is to install 10.2.0.1 on the target, apply the 10.2.0.4 patch, create an empty instance on target, then export the database from the source and import into target.
    Pl be aware that 10.2.0.1 thru 10.2.0.4 are on sustaining support and 10.2.0.5 is on extended support (if you have paid the extended support fees). Why not upgrade to 11gR2 ?

  • Windows 2000 Logon without getting the windows workatation log on screen

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone can help me!!
    We have Win2K Professional workstations in our company. The workstations
    have Zenworks for Desktops 4 installed as well as Netware client 4.83SP2.
    When the PC boots up, the users get the following screens for logging on :
    1) Novell Logon screen to get the users logged on to the Netware services
    2) Windows Workstation Logon screen
    In the past, I have created the user specific profiles on the PC and
    therefore synchronise the netware passwords with the windows workstation
    passwords. This was to enable the user to log on to the workstation typing
    the password only once.
    The problem we have now is that the users want to be able to log on to
    other workstations with their own username and passwords. This causes a
    problem for us as we have to go to the workstation and create the user
    specific profile again on the PC. This is becoming a real pain.
    I have now created a common user on the workstation and modified
    the "Users and Passwords" option in the CONTROL PANEL by unticking 'USERS
    MUST ENTER A USER NAME AND PASSWORD TO USE THIS PC'. This allows the user
    to go straight in to Windows without having to put in the user
    credentials. However, the user still needs to click on the Novell
    Client 'N' to gain access to the netware services.
    Is there a way of automatically getting the Novell Logon screen poping up
    when the PC starts up without the Windows Workstation logon screen popping
    up afterwads? May be there is a registry entry which can be modified?
    For now though I have put in the loginw32.exe in the startup menu which in
    a way resolves the problem, but it is not ideal solution. I would like the
    loginw32.exe to launch well before.

  • SplWOW64.exe is freezing up 32bit programs and halting printing on 64bit Windows 7

    I work IT for a bank with 600+ PC's (and just as many impatient users) and this issue is driving us up a wall. Here's the low down:
    SplWOW64.exe as we know it is supposed to end itself 2 minutes after the last print job is finished. However, it does not. After some time of it not being terminated, it will completely block 32bit applications (like Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office, and a few
    internal programs) from printing, and can even cause these applications to FREEZE until this process is manually ended in task manager.
    These problems are appearing on any Windows 7 64bit machines we have on our network (not all of them that we are aware of, but A LOT of them). All of our printers are also network printers using mostly universal drivers from the manufacturers, but we do
    have some printers we use specific drivers for.
    We have tried the 2 fixes out in the KB article (KB2815716), and neither have been working across the board for us. I believe the hotfix has worked on SOME of our PC's, but the majority of them are still experiencing this issue.
    I can provide screenshots of how some programs are reacting to this process not responding (print button grayed out, freezing the app when attempting to print, freezing apps even when not trying to print) if it will help our cause.
    Thanks everyone for any help we can get.

    Hello Dandalfini,
    Please correct me if I have misunderstanding:
    1. The SplWOW64.exe doesn’t end itself and it will block the 32bit applications like Adobe Reader, office in the 64bit Windows7.
    2. The issue only occurs in some of the Windows 7 computers.
    Are they are domain-joined Windows 7?
    Are there any differences between the normal and abnormal Windows 7 computer?
    What specific drivers do you mean in the sentence ‘we do have some printers we use specific drivers for’?
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories
    and run the printer troubleshooter.
    2. Update the printer drivers

  • Error while Installing Oracle 8i on windows 2000 box

    When trying to install the Oracle 8i software, I get the following error from the event log:
    The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( PctSpk ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: PctSpk error: 1063, StartServiceCtrlDispatcher failed..
    If anyone have suggestions to solving my problems, please advise.
    Note: I've started all possible services that I could think of.

    Definitely 8i won't work with windows vista. 10gR2 (10.2.0.1.0) was not certified to run against vista, Oracle had to release an specific 10.2.0.3.0 for Windows Vista. Previous releases are Not supported at all and there are no plans to support them.
    If you are planning to use 8i on your Vista OS, it won't be possible, but you can create a Virtual Machine with a supported guest OS for 8i, Windows 2000 is certified for 8i, Windows XP is not supported for 8i, but I have been working with it for years without any issue (this is not a suggestion for production environments).

  • ODBC problems with Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows 2000

    Hi,
    I have got a problem when i configure ODBC on Windows 2000.
    When I test the driver with ODBC test driver, the programs doesn't respond when i use Oracle ODBC Driver first but responds when I use Microsoft Driver For Oracle first and then Oracle ODBC Driver.
    Then I have a system 5 error when I use ODBC with ASP.
    Is it Oracle 8.1.5 which is not compatible with Windows 2000 or a problem in Windows 2000 configuration ?
    Best regards
    Ronan

    I think I was having the same problem; programs attempting to connect w/ODBC (including ODBCTest) would hang. After downloading and installing a newer ODBC driver from oracle (for me 8.1.5.5 worked), I was able to connect. Hope this helps!

  • Help! Im getting really confused!  Linux Oracle 9 to Windows 2000 MS SQL.

    Please can someone explain the process and what needs doing.
    I am trying to connect an oracle 9i database which is running on Linux Red Hat Enterprise 4, to a MS SQL database which is running on Windows Server 2000.
    I have read the following document https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:1119006956529253705::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,231458.1,1,1,1,helvetica
    But I am confused as to where each configuration file sits.
    I have downloaded oracle 9i for windows and installed the OTG and tg4msql on the windows 2000 server. On the windows 2000 server I have created the following files:
    tnsnames.ora:
    TG4MSQL.domain.name =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tCP)
    (HOST = <IP_ADDRESS>)
    (PORT=1521) )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = tg4msql))
    (HS=OK)
    Listener.ora
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle9i)
    (PROGRAM = extproc))
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = tg4msql)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle9i)
    (PROGRAM = tg4msql)
    (ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=D:\oracle9i)
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = IPADDRESS)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
    inittg4msql.ora
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="SERVER=<IP_ADDRESS>;database=<MS SQL DATABASE NAME"
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
    HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
    HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
    Then on the Linux server I have the following tnsnames.ora:
    TG4MSQL.DOMAIN.NAME =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <MS SQL IP ADDRESS>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = tg4msql))
    I then created a database link on the Linux Oracle server:
    CODE
    create database link tg4msql connect to "sa"
    identified by "password" using 'tg4msql';
    I then tried a:
    CODE
    select * from all_catalog@tg4msql;
    and get:
    Ora-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
    Unable to retrieve text of NEWTORK/NCR message 12571
    ORA-02063: preceeding 2 lines for TG4MSQL
    I feel I have done everything I have read but its not very clear where everything has to be put or how it all ties together.
    Any help would be useful!
    Thanks.

    well I don't see how your ODBC driver on linux is configured. You need one (ODBC driver on linux, it's not there by "default") You can buy one or use a free one
    find it here
    http://www.unixodbc.org/
    then once you set up ODBC and able to connec to your SQL SERVER from command line using iSQL or TSQL from linux then do all these steps you described and it should work.
    I didn't have any problems setting it up, works like a charm

  • Printer compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows 8 operating system?

    My office needs to access a terminal server hosted offsite.  The terminal server uses Windows 2000.  My laptop is Windows 8.   Since I upgraded my laptop I am no longer able to print.  Do they make a computer that is compatible with both versions of Windows?  Is there a fix?  I should also mention, I purchased a new HP and it wouldn't work either.  augh!

    Windows 2000 has been successfully tested with the AT interface card. The file: "Win2000Issues.rtf" (located in the "nifbus" directory) illustrates how to install the AT-FBUS interface card under the Windows 2000 platform. However, the PCMCIA-FBUS card is not supported at this time. In order to use the software under Windows 2000 the "MFC42.dll" file must be in the same folder as the Configurator, otherwise display problems may be experienced.
    Windows ME has also been tested with both the AT and PCMCIA interface boards and appears to work well. Additionally, the Configurator software has proven to be stable under ME.

  • 10g (10.2.01) setup/java.exe hangs on Windows 2000 SP4.

    Hi all,
    I'm currently having an issue with a 10g install on Windows 2000 (SP4) hosted on a Windows Virtual Machine.
    I remote to this machine using PCAnywhere.
    When I run setup.exe it just hangs on the java.exe process.
    I have run the setup with a -debug option and am not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
    I have also checked the the log and it does not seem to contain any errors.
    I have run through the 10g pre installation requirements and don't believe that is a problem as the
    machine and OS meets all the criteria.
    I have researched a similar setup.exe/java.exe hanging issues and have tried some of those solutions to no avail.
    For instance moving the 10g the install folder to C: drive and confirming there are no spaces in the install path.

    As Daniel stated on his previous post, this is not supported from the official oracle point of view, so if you are implementing this for production environments, even if it worked, you would be on your own. However, this should work. Check if you have any other java environment on the scope of the PATH environment variable. A virtual machine is from the OS configuration point of view the same as a physical machine, if the PATHs are scrambled and if you are accessing different versions of JRE at install time, this won't work, and the first symptom is a frozen java session.

  • Ipod works on Windows 2000 but not on XP

    I have an empty Ipod click wheel unit . My Itunes library (about 1200 songs) is safely stored on cd's. I have Windows 2000 in the office and Windows XP at home. If I take the cd's and the Ipod to the office, I can get it to run perfectly. I restore the cd's to Itunes and upload them to my Ipod with no problems at all. When I bring the unit home, and plug it into my XP home system, it seems to have great difficulity recognizint the Ipod at all. The Ipod image pops on and off the my computer screen. If I fiddle with the Ipod for a while,just randomly selecting menu items, sometimes I can get it stabilized, at which point I get a message that it is sync ed to another computer. I try to resync it - sometimes it stays up and sometimes it drops out. If it stays on line, the Ipod sync window appears on the screen, and I get an immediate message "upload complete" from my empty Itunes library. I then load a cd to put something in the library to actually sync with, and it loads perhaps 10 or 15 items then I get a message "The Ipod - Patricia's Ipod can not be updated - The required file can not be found" It stops and nothing else will happen. I have tried different plugs, changing drive letter assignments, reloading firmware, complete restore, 5R's, everything I could find, but still I have no luck. My husband has a new Ipod video which operates perfectly with the same XP computer. So, why does it work perfectly with Windows 2000 and not at all with Windows XP?

    Check your firewire connection and/or Windows firewire driver. This is done in Device Manager.

  • Trouble connecting Windows 2000 PC to Airport Extreme

    I'm having trouble connecting a PC running Windows 2000 to my Airport Extreme Base Station. The PC is using a D-Link wireless USB 2.0 adapter (802.11g) to connect to the internet. The PC would connect without problem when I was using a D-Link wireless router but will not connect with the new Apple base station.
    In addition to the Windows 2000 PC I have a Windows XP PC (connected via ethernet), an iBook G4 and an Epson printer connected to the Airport Extreme and they all work without a problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem with the Windows 2000 machine?
    Thanks.

    I am having the same issue; since you did not seem to receive any replies on this forum, am wondering if you resolved the problem; am also wondering if my issue is the distance from my Airport Extreme base to the Windows PC. My next step is going to be to try moving the Apple router closer to the Windows PC and see if that Linksys wireless picks up the signal.

  • Javac "error: cannot read ..." windows 2000

    I have installed jdk1.4.1 on my ibm with windows 2000. Whenever I try to compile a program, I get the message "error: cannot read: filename.java 1 error" Please let me know where I am making a mistake. Thank you.

    No, you place the "" around the name when you save it. This prevents the .txt from being added to the name. This won't allow it to be compiled. I "solved" the problem another way by saving it with All Files and I type in filename.java. This works fine, but I do wonder why the .txt is added on my Windows 2000 machine, but not my Windows XP machine.
