Using Access forms after migrating data to Oracle

Hi,
One of the features provided by the original Migration Workbench appears to be the ability to modify a migrated Access database to use an ODBC connection to Oracle so that the original forms could still be used. I have just been through the process of migrating the demo Northwind database into Oracle using the SQL Developer Migration Workbench but this doesn't appear to be an option.
I am missing something or is this feature not available using the migration tools in SQL Developer?
And if it is missing what would be the easiest way to achieve this? From my limited exposure to Access converting the Northwind application manually appears to be rather painful.
Many thanks,
Vince

Hi Vince,
As you have correctly stated, the option to modify an MS Access database for the purpose of using the original forms is not available in Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. As this option is no longer available, the easiest way to achieve the same result is to manually update your MDB file to reference the migrated Oracle tables. Once your MS Access Forms are referencing the link tables, you can continue using the forms as before. I would suggest doing the following:
NOTE: These steps should only be carried out after you have migrated your tables from Access to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. I would also recommend that you take a back-up of your MDB file before carrying out the following steps...just to be on the safe side!
1. Create a new System DSM (using the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog, via the Control Panel > Administrative Tools on your OS), using the connection details to access the newly migrated Oracle database schema. Test the connection, to ensure it's working correctly.
2. Open your MDB file in database view - double-click the MDB file, holding down the Shift key.
3. Remove the original Access tables.
4. Using the Insert > Table menu item in MS Access, start the New Table wizard and create Link Tables to each of the migrated tables in your Oracle schema. NOTE: Rename the Link Table(s) so it matches the original Access table name. This will save you from having to edit each of the Forms, to change the Record Source it's based on. The form will still have a reference to the original table name, so by reusing the same name your form should just continue working as before. The only difference is that the data is being retrieved from the Oracle database now!
If you have any questions regarding any of the above information, just respond to this thread & I'll get back to you.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

I have a migration to do in order to use Reports 11g.
But some of the RDF I have to convert use a parameter form at runtime for some of the parameters.
How can I have the same functionality when calling these reports from my Forms application ?

Migrating data from Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2005

I am new to both. I need to first migrate data from oracle to sql server. After this I need to create a daily nightly batch process to insert new records from oracle to sql server into that table.
As my knowledge in SQL server is zero. Can somebody help me how I can accomplish this.
Somebody told me that I can use sql server import/export to do initial data dump into sql server and after that I can create a link in in oracle to do new iserts for new records. does any one have some example on this. I will really apprecite this if someone can give me step by step example. Thanks

I have been to SQL Server training, but my SQL server databases are off the shelf system, so I don't have to muck with them. Anyway, Sql Server is just MS Access on steroids, so some of the same concepts apply. You need to create an external table links to oracle. The following tidbits I found by googling might help you.

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

Migrating data from oracle to sql server

I have two databases(Oracle and Sql Server) in my company.
I want to migrate some data on daily basis from Oracle to Sql Server.
what are the best methodologies used to perform this task?
Can we schedule this task on daily basis?
please help me guys

Salma,
First and foremost, you need to understand that there are architectural difference between Oracle and SQL Server (with the major one being the difference between Oracle's PL/SQL and Microsoft's Transact-SQL) thus, it will not be an easy task to migrate data from Oracle Database to SQL Server. As far as the use of tools is concerned, you can utilize the following tools (third party tools not recommended) to achieve this:
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant (Oracle to SQL)
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration-oracle.aspx
Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench (SQL to Oracle)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
But before proceeding with anything, I would recommend you to read through the following post as it lists down the primary compatibility resources and migration guidelines:

Hope this helps.

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

Try these for the first attempt:

Connect to the database and execute four SQL INSERT/UPDATE statements as a single unit of work. The fact that you have one form shouldn't be an issue.
I'll bet you're having trouble because you haven't layered the problem either in code or in your mind.
I'd recommend that you write a POJO to take in some objects and execute the SQL. Once you have that running successfully you can worry about the form. Decouple the two.
Computer science is all about decomposing large problems into smaller ones.

Sharing Breaks After Migrating Data Using ROBOCOPY

I am using ROBOCOPY (run from the 2008 R2 server) to migrate data from a Windows 2003 clustered array to a Windows 2008 R2 clustered array and am experiencing sharing issues at the new location.
Command Line: robocopy "\\NAS1W2003\Folder1" "\\NAS2W2008\Folder1" /S /E /PURGE /COPY:DATSOU /DCOPY:T /LOG+:"D:\RoboCopyLogs\Robocopy.log" /TEE /R:5 /W:0
If I create a new folder under the root of the new drive, sharing works correctly on it, along with applying sharing specifically to any sub-folders. However, anytime I move data with ROBOCOPY, as defined in the command above, and I share
the parent folder, ALL sub-folders show up shared as indicated by the Share Status at the bottom of the explorer window, but do not show up shared in properties. Also, when I click on the Share tab, the property window freezes for awhile before showing the
Share tab. Any attempt to alter sharing on these sub-folders is futile, even if I create a new sub-folder under the parent folder. Security is copyied correctly and sharing works fine on the copied parent folder, but is disfunttional on all sub-folders.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the behavior. Thanks for your input.

Hi,
Robocopy should not affect Share permissions as it will not copy it to new location.
Please compare the Share permission in each server to see if there is any difference. Share permission could be found in registry here:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact [email protected]
Why do we have to export the registry from the old file server and then re-import the registry to the new file server when the server name is totally different?
can't we just right click on the folder and then share it as normally while the old server name can be edited from DNS CNAme ?

How to migrate data from oracle 9i database to new machine 11gr2 RAC ASM

Hi Expert
I need your expertise to advise me what is the best method to move data from oracle 9i database to new machine running oracle 11r2 RAC database with ASM.
Currently my production server running on HPUX ORACLE 9I database with normal file system. My new server is running SUN SOLARIS SPACR 64 bit ORACLE 11gr2 RAC with ASM. What is best method to move data over so it will be consistent. Any guide can refer.
Regard
William

Hi William,
See the note in metalink Migration of Oracle Database Instances Across OS Platforms [ID 733205.1] to saw the Endian Format of your OS. If is the same you can use the RMAN to convert the database to another OS, if not the only option is using export/import (Transportable Tablespaces).
To upgrade from 9i to 11g, see the note 837570.1 - Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 11gR2.
To migrate your FS to ASM the only way is using RMAN, so see the note - How to move a datafile from a file system to ASM [ID 390274.1].
Hope this help you.
Best Regards,

How to lock a pdf form after entering data

Hi
I have created certificate with editable fields for a client, I was of the thinking that the certificate is to be filled-in and printed however the client informed me that it is instead emailed to recipients. How can I make it possible for the client to lock the certificate after entering data.
Bear in mind that the client is using Adobe Reader not Acrobat. I have tried setting a security password but Reader does not require the password in order to enable or disable the fields.

If the user has Acrobat, not the free Reader, they could flatten the PDF form. If they only have Reader they can make the fields read only. They also might want to use a digital certificate to invisibly sign the PDF. Signing the PDF will add code to disclose if the PDF has been changed since it was signed.

Combo Box not working in Search Form After migrating to Jdev11.1.2.1

Hi,
I developed my application using Jdev11.1.1.3 and its works fine. I migrated my application to jdev11.1.2.1. After migration when i run my application, in search form combo box displaying ArrayIndexOutOfBound Exception while searching through it. This exception is only throwing for Combo box and choice list. When I changed combo box to InputListOfValues and ComboBox with ListOfValues its working. Please help.

Try this on jdev 11.1.1.3 if possible. If not, try everything with 11.1.2.1.
1. Select Model project and invoke "Clean Model.jpr" (Menu->Build->Clean XXX). Do the same for View project.
2. Delete all /classes/ folders from model and view projects
3. Visit view project dependencies (under project properties->Libraries and classpath) and see if JDev is reporting any error there. Delete the errored dependency if any.
now, follow this on 11.1.2.1
4. Migrate (i.e. open the app in 11.1.2.1)
5. Rebuild all.

Using Time Machine AFTER Migrating

I used Migration assistant to switch from a macbook to a macbook pro (successfully). However, now Time Machine failed to find the old Time Machine backup drive. I had hoped that I would be able to retain my backups after migrating. Is this not possible?

Actually, Time Machine does not use an IP address in the name of the backupdb, but rather the MAC address, the hardware address hard-coded into each individual Mac.
I just upgraded to a newer Mac last week, so looked into this. I thought it would be nice to keep all my backups back to my Leopard installation.
While it is possible to "merge" the backups from the older Mac to the newer one, on reflection it seemed to me to be more hassle (and potential danger, if you inadvertently restore an older system-type file) than it's worth.
Instead, I decided to keep the old backupdb around for a few weeks, just in case I remember that I've lost something; its files can still be accessed. If I don't realize I'm missing something within that time, I probably never will. So I will eventually just delete the old backupdb to free up space.
It's important to remember that the primary purpose of Time Machine is to enable restoration of a failed hard drive or inadvertently deleted file. TM is not intended to be a permanent archive of everything on the drive; none of us has enough spare hard drive space for that. For those files I want to archive in virtual perpetuity, I archive them separately to a safe location or DVD/CD.
Another option, if you want to retain that older backupdb, is to use SuperDuper! to create a disk image of it which you can store and access at will.
Hope this helps.

Trackpad do not work properly after migration data from old imac to new macbook pro

After migration all my Data from my old imac to my new macbook pro (both running on OS Maverick) with migration assistant, the trackpad of the new macbook pro doesn´t work properly any more.
But the trackpad had worked properly before the data migration!
But now the trackpad feature of scrolling up and down with two fingers doesn´t work. (Other features are ok.)
I have tried to change the trackpad settings, but still doesn´t work.
Can anyone help me???

Can I boot up an PC laptop HD on a Mac using Boot Camp, then migrate data?

I'm trying to migrate data from a Windows laptop (the screen has gone, otherwise all is fine) to a Macbook. Can I connect them and boot up using Boot Camp and transfer the data from there to the Macbook? If so, do I definitely need an ethernet cable or will a USB do?

I've been using a 4GB flash stick (gift) formatted as Fat32, to <-> data between Mac & PC(s).
For security reason, don't much like for Mac or Bootcamp to even see each others drives.
These little flash things can attach to your key chain, great tool, very fast, idea to consider.
