[migrate]Repository V5 to V6.5

hi,

i’ve just migrate the old repository DataBase From Oracle 8 to Oracle 9I.
i’ve this mistake when i try to create new repository with new DB oracle 9I connection:


create table OBJ_M_ACTOR (M_ACTOR_N_ID NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_N_TYPE NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_N_LEVEL NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_C_NAME VARCHAR2(70) not null, M_ACTOR_C_PASSWORD VARCHAR2(70), M_ACTOR_N_AUTID NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_N_LAD NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_N_LAT NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_N_STATUS NUMBER(10) not null, M_ACTOR_N_ENDING NUMBER(10), M_ACTOR_N_CNTDOWN NUMBER(10))

MasterRepository  () function fail: 
SQL.MASTER.Create.Table.Actor
N/A:ORA-00955: Ce nom d'objet existe déjà


Création du domaine sécurité impossible. (ADW0020)

why? i cant use old repository and must use a new dataBase?

thx

But, you’ve chosen the option to create a new one.

If you are doing a safe recovery to create a new .key file, then you won’t have a problem.

From what I can tell you’ve chosen a default installation which, by definition, creates new tables.

right, i’ve chosen default installation, in fact, i must choose repare old installation to migrate repository but i’ve an error too ! :cry:

i’m just following the BO step describe in their documentation.

1/ i’ve migrated DB repository from oracle 8 to oracle 9I
2/ i’ve installed BO 6.5
3/ i’ve created a new bomain.key in launching supervisor and clicked Admin.
4/ then i’ve chosen “repare an installation” and it was allright!
5/ now i’m connect with SUPERVISOR so i tell me to migrate repository from BO5 to BO 6.5. I click OK
6/ then i’ve this error message :
(it’s a translation! :wink: )

Hi,
In your migration you have to taken care of your database migration and also repository.So as a safest measure.
1.First you migrate your v5 Database in oracle8i to oracle9i.Then reconfigure the bomain key to v5 with oracle9i.
2.Then you install the BO6.5 in that system and then upgrade it to 6.5.

Actually i did the migration from 5.1.3 to 6.5.1.From db2 to sqlserver.


Rajasekar :india: (BOB member since 2004-07-16)

i already do that with success

what do you means with “reconfigure the bomain key”?
i’ve created a new bomain.key, in launching supervisor and clicking Admin, with connection on migrated Oracle9I DataBase

it just says it doesn’t find Univers Domain ‘DomUnv’ when it try to upgrade repository to v6.5…


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

I think you have migrated the BOMain key to v6 Now or what.

In the supervisor, go to tools->Repository.There you select the universe domain and Test the connection.


Rajasekar :india: (BOB member since 2004-07-16)

when i launch SUPERVISOR it just tell me it will migrate repository yo version 6.5 then it stops and give me an error! it doesn’t find the univers domain.


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

It seems that your repository is not migrated successfully.


Rajasekar :india: (BOB member since 2004-07-16)

i know, but why?


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

Actually if you have successfully migrated to v6 Then it should work.Moreover run a saferecovery to the database and regenerate the BOMain key.


Rajasekar :india: (BOB member since 2004-07-16)

i’ve already do that… :cry:
i retry… :wah:


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

you just try it and let me know


Rajasekar :india: (BOB member since 2004-07-16)

the same error! :roll_eyes:
i send question to BO…i’ll see… :cry:

i don’t understand!
the 3 domains(security,univers and document) are in the same DataBase i’ve migrated to ORACLE 9I and i’ve used to create the BOMAIN.key…

so, normally, it could migrate the repository…but no! :wah:


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

BO support, just call me!
BO supported only migration from BO 5.1.x to 6.x, but i try to migrate from v5.0.4.

i try to pass through 5.1.7 and tell you if it’s allright…

thx


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

not works! :reallymad:

some idea?


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

migration to 5.1.7 was a success!
i have this message only in migrating to 6.5.1!


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

OK, BO support help me good! :lol:

yahhoouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :rotf:

my problems were the univers and document domains migrations!
in fact, when i’v tried to migrate Repository, BO has changed security domain connection string, but it hasn’t changed the universe and document domains so the new repository searched these 2 domains in the old DataBase!

fine!

so the procedure is :
1/ copy DataBase
2/ connect DB with SUPERVISOR 5.0 and change connexions strings to unviers and document domains.
3/ migrate DB to Oracle 9I
4/ migrate Repository to BO v5.1.7
5/ migrate Repository to BO v6.5.1

right, thx all :mrgreen:


laguiff :fr: (BOB member since 2005-05-13)

Which is all outlined in this FAQ Supervisor entry :wink:


Andreas :de: (BOB member since 2002-06-20)

Thats good ,atlast you have succeded in migration :cheers:


Rajasekar :india: (BOB member since 2004-07-16)

Thanks for this thread,

I just want to ask:

our repository sits on DB1 wwhich is in Oracle 8
our universes point at DB2 which is on orace 9i

AND I need to upgrade from version 8 to 9 on oracle before I do anything

Are these steps correct for the repository migrationa

DATABASE SIDE
i) copy database DB1 from oracles 8 on DB1 to oracle 9i DB3
2) launch supervisor 5.1.9 and regenerate the BOMain.key file , change the document and universe connections now
3) distribute this bomainkey file to users

CLIENT SIDE

  1. Install Superviosr 6.5.2 on my machine
  2. Launch supervisor 6.5.2 and run the upgrade utility
  3. cnahge the connections on universe and document domains.

Is this correct?
Thanks
