Upgrading Oracle Server from 8.1.5 to 9i

Hi,
We are currently having a suite of front-end applications that
are using the oracle server 8.1.5. It is a distributed database.
We would like to upgrade it to 9i. I need some clarificatons on
this regard.
The details of the applications accessing this server are as
follows:
a)Application#1 in Forms6.0(Both NLS and English)
b)Application#2 in Visual Basic 6.0 using OO4O and OCI
c)Application#3 in Java 1.2 using Oracle JDBC 2.0 and JRE
1.2.2,PERLdb and ORAPerl
1.Is it enough only to upgrade the server and just test the
applications? Or should we do some changes to the applications
like recompiling,etc..,
2.What will be the effort involved in achieving this?
Please let us know.
Thanks in advance,
Devender

I will answer one by one :
* there is nothing called unstable ,, you need only to upgrade on TEST platform at first and after upgrade put the upgraded server under all kind of tests for some time ( saying 2 months / 24 H ) ,, when you sure that EVERYTHING is working as wanted and that there is no compatibility problems between server and its clients
* 9i are on its second release I am working on it for more than a year now on production environments on Windows / Linux and HPUX ,, all raised problems were been solved and workarounds were been showed up for other problems ( nothing new here - as usual for all previous releases ).
* 9i have got scripts for upgrading databases from previous versions ,, for AIX MAYBE it needs to upgrade first to 817 ,, you need to be sure ( you can get to Metalink )
* It depends on the application complexity ,, if talking about 2 database users for instance then its OK ,, if we are talking about Oracle Applications database which have 360 database user then it is next to imposible ,, For import / export accross versions you need to get back to Meatlink for more information ,, also have a test environment prior to getting to your production platform

To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:

Connecting to remote oracle server from asp

Hi All
How can I access remote oracle server from asp?. I'm using the following connection string.
" Provider=MS Remote;Remote Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=XYZ;Remote Server=http://DBServersIP;User Id=id;Password=pw"
Both the web server and DB server has oracle client. I can tnsping, connect using sql * plus from the webserver.
But when I try to do simple connection & query , I get the following error.
" Microsoft ADO/RDS(0x80072EFD)
Internet Client Error: Cannot Connect to Server.
All the permission settings are given correctly (after referring Microsoft & Oracle websites)
Can someone throw some links or help.?
Your replies much appreciated.
Thank you
Arum

why do you have http://DBServersIP as the remote server?
Your connection string should look like:
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=MY_SID;Uid=my_user;Pwd=my_pwd;"
There are other variations, but none of them should include HTTP anywhere.

Upgrade coldfusion server from 9 to vesion 10

I need instruction on upgrading coldfusion server from 9 to 10 on windows 2008 server. Thanks.

Although no database was created, it should allow me to connect to sqlplus using
SQL>connect / as sysdba in order to access system tables."connect" means connect to a database, and system tables are within a database. If you don't have any, then no system tables.
And I have already configure the listener.The listener is independent from databases, it listens for any databases registered with it.
It may be running, but if no active databases, it listens for nothing.

Is it possible to connect to 10g oracle server from 9i client or Should i install 10g client on my machine?

Hi Support,
Could anyone please provide the steps to upgrade Oracle Database EE from 11.2.0.3.8 to 11.2.0.4.0.

You will need to install 11.2.0.4 into a new ORACLE_HOME, apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU patch to the new ORACLE_HOME (see MOS Doc 1454618.1) and then follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide

The OS is Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) and the source DB version was 10.2.0.4. We are running the upgrade manually (NOT with DBUA). The upgrade log does not have any ORA-xxxx errors, but it does show a few instances of the same error, such as this example:
SQL> desc XDB.XDB$RESOURCE_T;
ERROR: OCI-21500: internal error code, arguments: [KODDBG_PUSH_80IMGPTR:dbgecPushPtr failed], [0], [0xFFFFFFFF7FFF55E8], [0xFFFFFFFF7F22E2B8], [1], [], [], []

How to run a script on Oracle server from isqlplus

Hi I am trying to run a script on my workstation from Oracle server through isqlplus workarea. I entered following command and get the following error. i have enabled isqlplus URL by editing web.xml file already. Can please someone help how to run the script?
@http://myaixserver.com:5560/scripts/Databasestartupstages.sql;
SP2-0920: HTTP error 'page not found (505)' on attempt to open URL

So far, you haven't specified your rdbms version and isqlplus behaved differently on a 9iR1, 9iR2 from the one release on 10gR1/R2. on 9i it was a servlet based on a JServ servlet executor machine, meanwhile on 10g it is a J2EE compliant application deployed on an OC4J container, so configuration is different.
You may want to take a look at these references -->

Upgrade CE Server from SP0 to SP3

Hi Everyone,
I want to upgrade my CE Server from CE 7.1.1Ehp1 SP0 to SP3.
I need the documents that will explain the step by step procedure.
Now I am using CE 7.1 Ehp1 SP0 trial version, can i upgrade it to SP3?
Regards,
Gayathri.

Hi,
I did not manage to upgrade my CE with the new CEUPDATE tool.
I did it with JSPM and it works. Just download the SP3 for CE 7.1.1 and update your system with JSPM like a standard Java system.
