What is the best way to copy Oracle Transportable Tablespace datafiles betw

Hi All,
We are planning to implement Oracle Transportable Tablespace feature to copy huge data (around 900 GB) between the DBs.
Our plan is to:
1. Offline the tablespace 1 and tablespace 2 on Linux BOX1.
2. Take export of these two tablespaces using TTS on Linux BOX1.
3. zip datafiles of tablespace1 & 2 on Linux BOX1.
4. Copy the zipped datafiles and dump file to Linux BOX2.
5. Unzip datafiles of tablespace1 & 2 on Linux BOX1.
6. Make the tablespaces online on Linux BOX1.
7. Unzip datafiles of tablespace1 & 2 on Linux BOX2.
8. Import the dump file to DB on Linux BOX2.
9. Online the tablespace1 & 2 on Linux BOX2.
However I do have below queries before I proceed.
1. Do you see any issue with the above approach?
2. To improve the copying speed across the network, Do you suggest any solution than rcp and ftp
Our Environment: Oracle 9.2.0.8 running on Linux 2.6.5-7.308-bigsmp #1 SMP
Please share your experiences.
Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions :)
Krishna Bussu.

Take a look at Note:77523.1.
Hope this Helps
Regards

  • What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported".

    What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

    Hi Shane.  Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
    How is the drive attached?
    Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
    Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
    Thanks,

  • I'm buying a new Macbook Pro this week and am wondering what is the best way to copy over the software I have from my existing Macbook Pro to the new one? eg. Photoshop and Office etc. I no longer have the CDs.

    I'm buying a new Macbook Pro this week and am wondering what is the best way to copy over the software I have from my existing Macbook Pro to the new one? eg. Photoshop and Office etc. I no longer have the CDs.

    Ya know what I'm on a brand new MBP just about 24 hours old and you know whats been working amazingly for me. I have a 27inch iMac as well and i've just connected it to my network and been dragging files and apps across the network onto my new MBP. Its really working fast and its flawless. You could always do that option, Just go into sharing options and turn them on for both Macs. Then just click and drag. Of course they have to both be on the same network for this to be possible.
    Look at my network.
    Shared is what your looking at.  I click on there see all my computers files and then drag the ones i want form its folder to my MBP folders.  Hope that helps if your looking for a very simple way on a wireless network.

  • What is the best way to copy a DVD i made from iMovie?  It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.

    What is the best way to copy a DVD I made from iMovie?  It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.  I need to distribute it to about 20 people. It's 42 minutes long.

    You will need to save it as a video to the camera roll.
    Import it into windows as you would a photo.
    Then purchase DVD authoring software, and create a DVD.

  • What is the best way to copy data....

    Hello friends,
    What could you think is the best way to copy this data ? :
    - I have two identical databases (Oracle 9i)
    - I want to migrate the data of 90 tables (all tables begin with the same string, i.e. 'TAB') from Database1 to database2.
    - There are integrity constraints, referentials, etc.
    I'd like to generate a script to automate/accelerate the process.
    So, I'm thinking on the following:
    - Disable all the constraints in Database2.
    - Connect to Database 1 and generate a script with the 'inserts' using TOAD (or another similar application)
    - In a Database 2 session, execute the script...
    Of course if I use TOAD I can't generate an unique script to do this process in one step so...
    Any better idea? (Using export/import, ... or some script you have...)
    Thanks.
    Jose.

    Use exp and imp. It works... seriously! And you don't need to drop the user/schema. But don't take my word, run an example...
    On Database 1
    First let's create a couple of tables with referential integrity to each other to make sure exp/imp can handle it...
    SQL> create table t1 (t1_id number constraint pk_t1 primary key, t2_id number);
    Table created.
    SQL> create table t2 (t2_id number constraint pk_t2 primary key, t1_id number);
    Table created.
    SQL> alter table t1 add constraint fk_t1_t2 foreign key (t2_id) references t2 (t2_id);
    Table altered.
    SQL> alter table t2 add constraint fk_t2_t1 foreign key (t1_id) references t1 (t1_id);
    Table altered.
    SQL> insert into t1 (t1_id, t2_id) values (1, null);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into t2 (t2_id, t1_id) values (2, 1);
    1 row created.
    SQL> update t1 set t2_id = 2 where t2_id is null;
    1 row updated.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    SQL> select * from t1;
         T1_ID      T2_ID
             1          2
    SQL> select * from t2;
         T2_ID      T1_ID
             2          1
    SQL> select table_name, constraint_name, constraint_type, r_constraint_name from user_constraints
      2  where table_name in ('T1','T2');
    TABLE_NAME                     CONSTRAINT_NAME                C R_CONSTRAINT_NAME
    T1                             PK_T1                          P
    T1                             FK_T1_T2                       R PK_T2
    T2                             PK_T2                          P
    T2                             FK_T2_T1                       R PK_T1
    SQL>
    Now let's export those tables. You can build a parfile manually or even spool it from a sql script with the names of all tables you need to export...
    $ cat parfile.txt
    tables=(\
    t1,\
    t2
    $ exp rc/pwd parfile=parfile.txt file=db1.dmp log=db1.log

  • What's the best way to copy a big poster and print it out?

    I'm doing a big art project (around 5ft by 5ft), where I'm going to draw stuff out by hand, and would like to make a copy of that project by scanning it into the computer, or taking high-res photos of the project and compiling them together in the computer, and then printing the image out at that size, or bigger. So, I will have the original, 5x5ft, and a printed copy. 
    What's the best way of doing this?
    I hear that vector images are ideal for this, so is Illustrator recommended for this?
    I know it's a vector graphics program, but is there any way I can take a bitmap image from a scan or photo, and somehow turn it into a vector? If this is not possible, what recommendations would you have?
    I have Illustrator CS2.

    Take the photo in one shot by a camera with 24MP, e.g.
    http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3x.htm
    This should be sufficient for a poster reproduction 5ft square
    as a raster image.
    For vectorizing one doesn't need high resolution (it's often
    recommended to blur the source image).
    Perspective and lens corrections can be applied by Photoshop,
    but the lighting should be well balanced.
    Barrel distortion by wide angle lens is really no problem.
    Plenty examples:
    All photos here were taken without tripod by a 170 Euro camera.
    http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/andalusien13032010.pdf
    Especially see p.20, a photo (with flash) of an exhibition photo,
    viewing direction not orthogonal to the object, then perspectively
    and lens-distortion corrected.
    (The PDF shows the photos heavily downsampled).

  • What is the Best way To Copy and paste data from 1 book to another

     I have 18 sheets in 5 different books that I want to extract data from specific cells.  What is the best way to do this?  Example:  1 sheet is called Numbers E-O1 data in 13:WXYZ. The data updates and moves up 1 row every time I enter
    a new number. So let's say I enter the number 12. Through a lot of calculations the output goes in 13:WXYZ. To what I call a counter which is a 4 digit number.  Anyways, how can I send that 4 digit number to a totally different sheet?  To bullet
    what I'm talking about
    data in cells Row 13:WXYZ in book called Numbers sheet E-O1
    send data to book called "Vortex Numbers" Sheet E-O row 2001:CDEF
    What formula or Macro can I use to make this work?
    thank you!

    Hello Larbec,
    Syntax:
    '[BookName]SheetName'!Range
    Enter in cell  2001:CDEF:
    ='[Numbers]E-O1'!13:WXYZ
    This assumes that the file is open in Excel. Otherwise you need to add the path:
    'ThePath[BookName]SheetName'!Range

  • What's the best way to reorganize table or tablespace?

    Hi,
    I have a db of Oracle 9ir2, and it works 24*7.
    So I can't shut it down to do reorganization.
    I have known some ways to do, like exp/imp, CTAS, alter table move ...etc.
    Anybody can tell me what is the best way to do reorganization online.
    And what advantages and disvantages in that ways.
    Thanks & regards

    every approch as its pros and cons.
    For an example, exp/imp, you need to take the export, drop the schema, create schema with all required privileages and then import.
    CATS, generats a lot of redo, and then, you need to re-create their intigrity constraints and other stuff.
    alter table move.. also generates a lot of redo, apart from them, you need to rebuild indexes.
    I have the same situation in office and I do the third option, which is alter table move. I wrote my own scrit as following description.
    In first loop I move a single and then, in the inner loop, I rebuild all indexes of this table, so that other tables are accessable and then so on. I have had no problems.
    If you want this script mail me @ [email protected], I will send you the script.

  • What is the best way to copy database from overseas?

    Hello All,
    As customer need to migrate their databases(200 databases) to our data center, at this moment, we usually ask customer to send full backup by HDD and then send trn files via FTP, then we restore full backup and apply latest trn files until cutover. However
    FTP is not stable, trn files are always broken.
    The databases size are 3GB~150GB, trn file size are 1MB to 5GB, especially the big trn files are failed every time, we have set transfer mode to Binary in FTP client, but it still fails.
    I have VPN access to their database server, so in this case is there a better way to copy/migrate their databases to our server?
    Customer using Windows 2003 + SqlServer 2008
    We using Windows 2012 R2 + SqlServer 2014
    Appreciate your suggestions/advises.
    Thanks,
    Albert

    You are doing it the best way. I would also ship the tlogs via courier if time permits. Note that the tlogs get very large during maintenance operations. You may find that if you continually ship the tlogs via log shipping and stagger the cutover you may
    be able to do this in waves.
    With this many databases this sort of migration is difficult without downtime.

  • What is the best way to copy my iphoto library to an external drive?

    I want to free up space on the internal drive by copying the iphoto library to an external drive and then either deleting the library entirely from the internal and using the external as my working library or continuing to use the internal as my working library, but deleting lots of old pictures.  I have TC and use TM for backups and have a Seagate HD that I want to use for extra storage.  Thanks,

    To move the Library
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    To have two libraries:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them:  Hold down the <b>option (or alt)</b> key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the +Internal+ Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
    c:
    Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using
    iPhoto Library Manager

  • What's the best way to copy a book?

    I want to SAVE AS to copy a book to new folder with new name, and have all the referenced graphics and text insets still linked. I am using FM 8 on Windows 7. Is there a good method to do this without purchasing a third-party plug-in?
    Thanks,
    Roger

    Thanks for all your replies.
    I used Error7130's suggestion. I'm glad I made a backup first. One file got transferred to the new directory. I would add after your 3rd bullet, to close FM and re-open. Until I did that it opened the old book when I clicked on the new book. All in all, quite messy but it's done. Now I'm ready to buy third-party SW.
    Has anyon tried SQUIDDS TOOLBOX? It looks like it is what used to be Systec Toolbox. They say:
    'If you will decide for the feature “Book Transfer for FrameMaker 8” (99.00 USD).'
    This keeps all the links but does not create copies of all the images and text insets like Bruce Foster's Archive plug-in that Arnis and Jeff suggested (I think).

  • What's the 'best' way to copy a usable project to new one so it can be modified without affecting the original?

    I'm pretty much a LavVIEW newbie. 
    I'm using LabVIEW 2012 Full on Windows 7.  I copied a project using Save As-Duplicate in Project Explorer.  It created an excessively long, complex directory structure.  It resulted in 'too long' errors (presumably from the PATH being too long).
    The intent was to get a copy of the usable project to be able freely modify it without damaging the original. 
    I've poked around the forums and knowledge base, didn't see anything definitive.  I'm guessing the information is already posted but I just haven't been able to find it.  A point in the correct direction would be appreciated.

    Much easier to remove then add, which is why I copied the tree and delete things not needed.  But I do agree that these actors/engines could be more reusable.  I do have them in lvlib form but many times there will be coupling between actors that are unavoidable.  If the UPS actor detects a power outage it needs to tell the sequencing actor to stop testing if a testing is going on.  For that reason I have a hard time splitting some actors into reusable modules, because they are only reusable if other components are there.
