What are my objectives today? To get you thinking about migration strategies available to
you Fly through the slides as quickly as possible. Try some out.. And hope we don’t crash and burn..
Agenda:

Migration strategies
Good old fashioned import/export Datapump copy Good old fashioned cold backup/copy (clone) Good old fashioned hot backup / copy / recovery
(clone) RMAN clone from backup copy RMAN clone from live 4000 clerks and a lot of typing Transportable tablespaces
4
Migration types
Identical platforms Similar platforms Completely different systems
5
Migration strategies - Identical platforms
Good old fashioned import/export Slow but simple, requires database to be pre-created, scan through errors
on import 2/10
Datapump copy Slow but simple, requires database to be pre-created, sometimes issues
with roles/grants. 6/10
Good old fashioned cold backup/copy (clone) Simple, easy but outage increases because of copy time 9/10
6
Migration strategies - Identical platforms
Good old fashioned hot backup / copy / recovery (clone)
Simple, minimal downtime to copy final archives 10/10
RMAN clone from backup copy Fairly easy 9/10 (possibly 10/10)
RMAN clone from live Actually quite nice and fairly simple too 10/10
Other strategies… why complicate things – we’ve already got some great strategies above

Datapump copy Slow but simple, requires database to be pre-created, sometimes issues
with roles/grants 6/10
Good old fashioned cold backup/copy (clone) Simple, easy but outage, recompilation required (utlirp/utlrp), conversion
using RMAN of rollback 8/10
8
Migration strategies – Similar platforms
Good old fashioned hot backup / copy / recovery (clone)
Simple, minimal downtime to copy final archives, recompilation required (utlirp/utlrp), rman conversion for rollback
10/10
RMAN clone from backup copy Fairly easy, can get confused if 32-bit/64-bit conversions 9/10
RMAN clone from live Actually quite nice and fairly simple too although still some issues during
32-bit/64-bit conversions 9/10
Other strategies… not touching them as we’ve already got some easy options… why complicate things

Migration strategies – Different platforms
Good old fashioned import/export Slow but simple, requires database to be pre-created, scan through errors
on import 2/10
Datapump copy Slow but simple, requires database to be pre-created, sometimes issues
with roles/grants 6/10

Migration strategies – Different platforms

RMAN clone from backup copy RMAN clone from live 4000 clerks and a lot of typing
Um….
Transportable tablespaces Database pre-creation required, RMAN conversion required, Datapump
metadata export required, relatively complicated. 4/10 for small databases 8/10 for big databases
11
What shall we try?
Migrating from Solaris to Linux. SANDBOX (11G on Solaris) PROD1 (11G on Linux) How different is different? How do I find the Endian format?
12
Endian Format
Primary (Existing) - SANDBOXSELECT d.platform_name, endian_format FROM v$transportable_platform tp, v$database dWHERE tp.platform_name = d.platform_name; PLATFORM_NAME ENDIAN_FORMAT------------------------- -------------Solaris[tm] OE (64-bit) Big
Remote (new) - PROD1PLATFORM_NAME ENDIAN_FORMAT------------------------- -------------Linux x86 64-bit Little

Lets play
Migrating from Solaris to Linux SANDBOX (11G on Solaris) PROD1 (11G on Linux) How different is different? Endian Formats How do I find the Endian format? What strategies are available? What would I like to try?
16
Lets play
Datapump Network based.
Pre-create the database Update the TNS information Create the directory (for the log) Create the database link Impdp command
17
Commands used in demo - network datapump
Preparation newdb – create the directory for logfile
set echo oncreate or replace directory migrate as '/u01/oracle/PROD1_MIGRATE';select * from dba_directories;
18
Commands used in demo - network datapump
Preparation newdb – create the database link
connect system/letme1nset echo onset pages 1000col OWNER format a8col DB_LINK format a15col USERNAME format a10col HOST format a10create database link migrate_link connect to system identified by letme1nusing 'SANDBOX';select * from dba_db_links;connect / as sysdba
19
Commands used in demo - network datapump
Preparation newdb – Precreate the tablespaces
set echo oncreate tablespace TRAN datafile '/u01/oracle/PROD1/tran01.dbf' size 100M;create tablespace TRAN_IDX datafile '/u01/oracle/PROD1/trani01.dbf' size 75M;
20
Commands used in demo - network datapump
Import newdb – datapump command
PARFILE: dp_migrate.par
NETWORK_LINK=MIGRATE_LINKFULL=YLOGFILE=migrate.logdirectory=MIGRATE
Impdp system/letme1n parfile=dp_migrate.par
21
Commands used in demo - Transportable tablespace
Preparation newdb – precreate the users – copied from source
create user JP identified by letmein;create user martin identified by letmein;create user rays identified by letmein;grant connect,resource to jp,martin,rays;grant QUERY REWRITE to RAYS;grant CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW to JP;grant UNLIMITED TABLESPACE to JP;grant CREATE DATABASE LINK to MARTIN;grant DROP PUBLIC DATABASE LINK to RAYS;grant CREATE DATABASE LINK to JP;grant QUERY REWRITE to JP;grant CREATE VIEW to JP;grant QUERY REWRITE to MARTIN;grant CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW to MARTIN;grant CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK to RAYS;grant CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW to RAYS;grant UNLIMITED TABLESPACE to MARTIN;
22
Commands used in demo - Transportable tablespace
Preparation newdb – datapump location (metadata)
create or replace directory migrate as '/u01/oracle/PROD1_MIGRATE';select * from dba_directories;
23
Commands used in demo - Transportable tablespace
Preparation sourcedb – make the tablespaces read only
alter tablespace TRAN read only;alter tablespace TRAN_IDX read only;
24
Commands used in demo - Transportable tablespace
Preparation sourcedb – metadata export
PARFILE: expdp.par:
