Windows to Linux migration

Hello,
I'm interested in performing a move of our ZCM 11 primary server from the
Windows 32 bit platform to Linux running 64 bit. Does anyone know where
I might find any documentation of guidelines on this process?

Whilst you say you want to move your "ZCM 11" server what's the exact
version of ZENworks that you're running?
Am I right in thinking that the move to 64-bit may be related to wanting
ZENworks 11 SP3?
Which OS (and version) do you have in mind for your (target) Linux server?
Whilst ZENworks only supports migrations between servers that have the
same OS (so Windows Server to Linux is not supported) that doesn't mean
it's not possible. Knowing the current and target versions will help us
advise further.
HTH.

UCCX windows to linux migration

Hi,
what data is migrated with using Pre-upgrade tool (windows to linux migration tool)?
I am concerned about hitorical data, is whole historical data migrated?
Migration from UCCX 7.0(1)SR5 to 8.0.
Regards,
Wojciech

Hi,
Accoding to the uccx 8.0.2 upgrade guide I see that Phase 2 of the windows to linux upgrade includes resotring historical reporting (HR) data and recordings (audio files)
So the answer is yes

Windows to Linux Migration advantages for 10gR2 database

Hi
My client currently on windows environment,
now they want to migrate OS to linux.
So kindly help me to identify the advantages of migration to linux.
Regards

Security wise what are the advantages available in Linux comparing with windows?Not to say that Linux is not targeted. But the basic advantage is that less attacks are aimed at Linux, than Windows. The latter is the de facto desktop o/s and as such is the taller tree that catches more of the wind and weather.
Besides that, both o/s's needs hardening after installation. Like Windows, Linux has a feature set that protects privilege programs against attacks (data/code injection) by unprivileged programs. It is called SELinux where SE stands for Security Enhanced.
Linux's default firewall is iptables and IMO a far better piece of software than the default Windows firewall. I even use iptables as a NAT load balancer for RAC.
How good security is, is however not about how "good" the o/s is. It is about how well you understand the risks. It is about how well you address these risks.
In other words, the only safe server is one without a stiffy drive, tape drive, DVD/CD drive, without any NICs, locked in a vault and thrown into the Puerto Rico Trench in the Atlantic ocean. ;-)
Any specific advantages are there for maintaining oracle database on linux environment?That would be a major issue in my environment. The Oracle servers I support are scattered across a very wide area and 1000's of km apart.
I need things like access (via various firewall) to Oracle servers, the ability to tunnel connections, persistent console sessions, a means to run GUI programs, powerful shell scripting, the ability to dynamically load and unload kernel drivers and a host more...
And Linux does this the best for me.
Disadvantages of windows for maintaining oracle database?That again depends on your environment and requirements. There are many Oracle sites that are very happily running Windows.
In my environment - Windows would be a major limitation. For example, in order for db-to-db connectivity across networks I've written a shell script that creates a tunnel between these servers, and configured that script as a kernel respawn daemon - meaning that should the tunnel die and script terminate, the kernel will detect that and auto restart the script. (Oracle RAC's high availability daemon is run the same way on Linux)
To do this in Windows? The Windows o/s is like a car with the hood of the car welded shut. So it requires a lot more effort to get certain things done and working. With Linux this is not the case. Heck, you can even build a kernel that are custom tailored for running your Oracle database and storage/network/interconnect drivers and nothing else. With Windows, just changing the HAL is a big deal.
The usual reaction I get when saying that we use Linux is along the lines of "+Linux is not as robust and scalable as heavy weight commercial o/s like Windows or Solaris or <insert-name-here>+".
And in actual fact, the reverse is true. The only robust and scalable o/s on this planet is Linux - if we go according to Top500.org that lists the o/s families of the biggest, baddest and fastest super computers in the world. 459 out of these 500 are running Linux. That is 91.8% of the world biggest and fastest clusters. A mere 5 (1%) are using Windows.
Bottom line is that Linux is more than just capable. It is not inferior to Windows - especially not when vast majority of the most advance computer systems in the world are running Linux and not Windows.

Windows to Linux Migration for Apps Server - 11.5.10

Hello all,
Am trying to migrate our app server from WIndows 2000 to RH Linux. Am using the metalink doc id 238276.1 for this. Am encountering an error
"RC-00216: The Context File does not exist. Exiting."
Am not able to proceed any further. Have verified file path and permissions. Have setup some parts of the environment on the target with path for AD_TOP, APPL_TOP, CONTEXT etc.
Has anyone completed such a migration successsfully? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Yes I have.
What is the java and perl version being used?
1 - which java
2 - java --version
3 - which perl
4 - per --version
The contextfile has been copied from the windows system does it have the correct permissions? Open the file and check if you see ^M (they should not exist)
You are executing the command as follows:
perl /data/hrtc/hrtcappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/adclonectx.pl migrate java=/usr contextfile=/data/hrtc/hrtcappl/admin/hrtc1_hrdev.xml
try:
cd /data/hrtc/hrtcappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/
perl adclonectx.pl migrate java=/usr contextfile=/data/hrtc/hrtcappl/admin/hrtc1_hrdev.xml
Also the location of JDK_TOP (/usr) seems a bit strange to me.....as I would expect something like /usr/jdk1.3.x/
Thanks!

Migration 10g to 11gR2 from Windows to Linux with 6TB DB Size in one step

Hi,
I need to do migration from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0 and from Windows to Linux for 6TB database Size. As both Endian format same, I did the migration using RMAN Convert database on UAT but for same 10gR2 version.(Both Source on Target Oracle Version was 10.2.01.0). Now I have to migrate from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0. So it's 2 way process.
is it possible to club these 2 way migration process ???
Are following steps right or any modification is required ??
1) Install 11.2.0.2.0 on Linux OS
2) Open Source Database (Windows) in Read Only. Generate TRANSPORT.SQL, CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN & Pfile.
3) Copy Source datafiles in temporary location on Target OS. Also copy above files.
4) Create dummy controlfile.
5) Startup nomount with Changed pfile
6) Mount database with Dummy Controlfile.
7) Run CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN to convert actual datafiles from Windows Platform to Linux Platform.
8) Shutdown the instance and delele Dummy Controlfiles.
9) Edit TRANSPORT.SQL and do Appropriate Changes like redolog files, datafiles path...
Now my question is, can I add ?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql in TRANSPORT.SQL script after Startup upgarade command so that Complete Upgradation to 11.2.0.2.0 would be done.
10) Then run TRANSPORT.SQL on Target System (11.2.0.2.0)
Tell me if more inputs are required from my side...
Regards,
Manish

The directory structure is different...that's why you need to create the tablespaces in Linux. e.g. export dump says create tablespace in D:\..., there is no such thing in Linux. You can just export it, install software, create the db, tablespaces in Linux and import into the 10g in Linux.

Migrating 10grel2 Application server from windows to linux server

Hi Friends,
Can you please share your experience or steps need to perform for migration o oracle 10grel2 Application server which runs on windows to linux server.
Best regards,
Rafi.

Hi Rafi,
There is no direct way to migrate. You need to install the fresh instance on Linux, and migrate the data across e.g. OID, SSO, Portal, Config etc.

Printing after Migration from Windows to Linux

We have just migrated 11.5.2 from Windows to Linux. I am not sure how to setup printers. In windows we simply had a UNC pointing to our Windows Printer Server and the Printers Queue. This was in the Printer Column and the Type was HPLJ4SI in the Type column under Install > Printer > Register....like this:
\\MYCOPRT03\PTS2245
Not sure what to put in linux. Currently we are getting this error:
Executing request completion options...
------------- 1) PRINT -------------
Printing output file.
Request ID : 7457024

Chris,
It appears that these links are not savable.You need to refer to the docs in those threads for the steps you have to follow to setup a printer on Linux/Unix.

APP-FND-00500: AFPPRN received a return code of failure from routine FDUPRN. Program exited with status 1As applmgr, source the application env file and issue "which lp" and make sure it is accessible by the OS user. If the command is available, then it is something with your printer definition -- Issue "system-config-printer" from the command prompt to launch the Printer Configuration Tool and configure your printer at the OS level.

Migration from windows to Linux - JAR files not generating under JAVA_TOP

Hi DBA's
Jar files not generating under JAVA_TOP after migration from windows to linux.
I followed workaround but same in result.
Workaround
Run this command. It will give the missing file
adjava -mx512m -nojit oracle.apps.ad.jri.adjcopy -masterArchive $JAVA_TOP -sync -reportfile javatopfiles.lst
Then run this command
adjava -mx512m -nojit oracle.apps.ad.jri.adjcopy -masterArchive JAVA_TOP -sync -mode APPLY
I have checked in google.

Migrating code from windows to linux

Hi,
I am looking for a solution or method to migrate labview code developed in windows platform into Linux platform. The thing is we have developed instrument driver code in Windows platform and have used VISA as well for communication purposes. I've come to know about some method for such porting to follow as the project file of ours contains vi.lib stuff as well. We do have a license for both Windows and Linux versions of Labview.
Please suggest me any solution to do such porting into Linux platform if someboy have come across such things.
Thanks in Advance,
Vivek

Thanks guys for quick responses. I really appreciate your support. I tried the way you mentioned. I copied all my code into the linux system. Created new project file but again same problem occurs, labview is crashing because of VISA.
Why I am sure about the VISA is because I tried to open/create new VI in linux using VISA API's and all are creating trouble and further it leads labview to crash.
Rest all other functions in labview are working fine. Hope all my assumptions are correct and could blame VISA for creating problems.
Please do suggest us ...
Thanks in Advance,
Vivek

Migrating database from windows to linux using dbca templates

Hi every one,
Is it possible to migrate Oracle10g database from Windows to Linux by using DBCA templates?????????????
If yes please guide me, as i tried it and am getting error while creating database on linux using DBCA templates of Windows server.
Warm regards,
Veeresh.S
(Oracle DBA)

With DBCA you can create a new database, delete a database, create ASM, and manage templates.
There's no option of migrating a database from one platform to the other. If you want to migrate your database from Windows to Linux you have 2 ways of doing it:
1 using IMP/EXP Export you db on windows and Import it on Linux.
2 Use across platform transportable tablespace if you db is already on 10g.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

How can be the best way to upgrade to R12 from 11iCU2 in windows to Linux?

Hello,
Our customer CNE has an split configuration of a R11.5.10.2 system, with the DB in 11gR2 in Linux and the apps server in Windows2003.
We are going to upgrade R11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3 and we need your suggestions for that.
We are compiling all the documents and Notes related with the upgrade, principally we have to follow doc "Oracle® E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide Release 11i to 12.1.1 Part No. E16342-04", but we have some doudts about the global process, basically related with the platform migration, from Windows to Linux:
-Do we have to install R12 in Windows to perform all the upgrade process and finally migrate the apps server to Linux or can we install the R12 directlly in linux and perform the upgrade from this Linux with the apps server in Windows?
We don't have clear the best way to start the upgrade...
Thanks and regards!
Alvaro.

-Do we have to install R12 in Windows to perform all the upgrade process and finally migrate the apps server to Linux or can we install the R12 directlly in linux and perform the upgrade from this Linux with the apps server in Windows? Correct -- Or, migrate the 11i instance to Linux then upgrade it to R12.
