• Overview• Project Definition• Process Overview and Detail• Post Migration Tips and Tricks


Project Definition: Why Linux?Project Definition: Why Linux?

• Advantages• Lower Cost of Hardware• Performance• Lower Cost of Hardware• RAC

• Lower Cost of Hardware

• Disadvantages• Stability• Hidden Administration Costs• RAC


Project Definition: GoalsProject Definition: Goals• Replace HPUX hardware• Prepare for R12 upgrade

• Improve upgrade performance• Long-term EBS compatibility • Database cleanup

• Coalesce data• Purge metadata junk

• Characterset conversion to AL32UTF8• postponed to R12 upgrade• 10.2.0.4 minimum• 11i does not support AL32UTF8

• Minimum downtime

• Create init.ora

• Create the target database• auclondb.sql from R12 patch 6924477

• edit and run aucrdb.sql• autoextend datafiles• disable archive logging



• Create database objects (patch 7225862)• SYS: addb1020.sql• SYSTEM: adsy1020.sql• JVM: adjv1020.sql • Other: admsc1020.sql

• Post-creation Tasks• Complete patch 6855589 readme• Verify SYSTEM grants• Verify XDB grants• Compile objects• Backup the new database


Process Overview: Prepare Process Overview: Prepare the Source Databasethe Source Database

• System downtime• Apply database preparation patch 7225862 to apps

tier• Apply 6855589 to source RDBMS (including

README steps)• update SYSTEM_PRIVILEGE_MAP (2 SQL

statements)• Run preclones on both the source database and

apps tiers• Record Advanced Queue settings

• $AU_TOP/patch/115/sql/auque1.sql• (generates auque2.sql)


Process Overview: Prepare Process Overview: Prepare the Source Databasethe Source Database

• Create parameter file for tables with long columns

• aulong.sql (6723741)• (aulongexp.dat is generated)• Remove rebuild index parameter in spatial

indexes• select * from dba_indexes where

index_type='DOMAIN' and upper(parameters) like '%REBUILD%';

• alter index <index name> rebuild parameters <parameters>


Process Overview: Export Process Overview: Export the Source Databasethe Source Database

• Create export directory filesystem• Copy parameter file from

$AU_TOP/patch/115/import/auexpdp.dat• Create directory in database

• create directory dmpdir as '<DUMPDIR>';

• Prepare XMLSchema objects for migration (doc 402785.1)


Process Overview: Export Process Overview: Export the Source Databasethe Source Database

• Export the instance with expdp, using the above parameter file

• Export tables with long columns using aulongexp.dat

• Required SYS connection

• Used 10.1 ORACLE_HOME (bug 4154125)


Process Overview: Import the Process Overview: Import the Target DatabaseTarget Database

• Create directory in target database• create directory dmpdir as '<DUMPDIR>';

• Import the users• impdp parfile=auimpusr.dat• verify tablespace quotas• verify user grants and privileges to sys/system objects

• Import tables with long columns• Modify aufullimp.dat as aulongimp.dat

• file=longexp• full=y

• imp parfile=aulongimp.dat• Ignore errors for triggers


Process Overview: Import the Process Overview: Import the Target DatabaseTarget Database

• Import the Applications database instance• impdb parfile=auimpdp.dat (6723741)• expect ORA-31684, ORA-39111, compilation

warnings, trigger errors and BISM constraint errors

• Import triggers into the target database using standard import

• create autrigimp.dat from aufullimp.dat (6723741)• connect as SYS• ignore=y• rows=n


Process Overview: Update the Process Overview: Update the Target DatabaseTarget Database
