Steps to Migrate


Steps to Migrate

•  Prepare Environment −  Obtain and install necessary software −  Establish connectivity between systems

−  Copy the Oracle JDBC jar file to jre/lib/ext directory in Postgres Plus Advanced Server Installation

•  Migrate Schema −  Use Migration Toolkit in schema only mode −  Resolve issues here before going to next phase

•  Migrate Data −  Use command line MTK

−  Use –copyViaDBLinkOra −  Uses OCI to connect to Oracle

−  Use parallel threads −  Use dblink_ora_copy function directly to bypass logging −  Export Oracle data to flat files, load using EDB*Loader


Steps to Migrate con’t

25

•  Port Application −  Change connection information −  Recompile /Link application (OCI or Pro*C)

•  Test −  Verify application functionality −  Address issues −  Test performance −  Tune

•  Integration −  Establish co-existence strategy −  Setup database links to other databases −  Setup replication between Oracle or SQL Server and Postgres

Plus Advanced Server

•  Rollout −  System becomes production
