Hi Oracle Guru's,

I am trying to do migration of oracle files from one host to
another. The hardware and OS are same. The Oracle Version is also the same. With new memory requirements i am doing this activity.
I have followed the below steps,

All my datafiles(.dbf) and control files and dump files are under /home1/common/ in Machine1.

/home1/common contain:
control01.ctl control03.ctl redo02.log sysaux01.dbf temp01.dbf users01.dbf control02.ctl redo01.log redo03.log system01.dbf undotbs01.dbf
adump bdump cdump udump

1. I have tar'ed the /home1/common and spfilecommon.ora.
2. Moved to machine 2 and copied the spfilecommon.ora on machine2.
3. Also moved the tarred copies to /home1/common on machine2
4. Restarted the database on machine2.

Is it the proper way of migration. I want the data only to be migrated. So i moved the control files, .dbf files and dump
files. Not sure of my process. Please confirm.

After i have done the above process, i tried connecting to
the database on machine2 after starting emagent. Unfortunately,
i was getting connecting to machine1 though the URL i specified was of Machine2. very confused after seeing this.
Can someone help me???


Thanks In Advance,
Anilkumar BVN

1. You have to reconfigure EM repository.

Hi Mohammed,

Thanks for ur help.

As suggested by you, i have looked at em related directories for
my old hostname incase references are causing the problem.
But i couldn't find any such references of my old hostname.

Also, I have moved only the control files, datafiles (.dbf) and
the dump files to the new host machine. I haven't moved any em related files. So is there a need to reconfigure EM.

Does EM pick any data from control files..
Please let me know ur comments

1. EM repository and DB is seprate services.

what method your using to move your database from Host A to Host B.

check below link hope this help
http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2007/03/shiftoracleserverfromonemachinetoanothe.html

When you run EMCA utiltiy to create OEM repository then oracle automatically create all required direcotries for EM repository.

I haven't moved any em related files.

No need to move anything related to EM.

Does EM pick any data from control files..
Nope.

Regards
Taj

PS: first try on test enviourment.

Hi Mohammad,

First let me thank you for your help.
I thank DreamzZ and all member who tried to solve the problem.

So my problem was:
After migration of oracle datafiles (includes control files, database files (.dbf), dump files), when trying to connect to em using the browser URl i am seeing the information of the old Host.

Solution:
As per the suggestion given by Mohammad, i have create the database control repositories.
The command i have used are as follows:

RepManager -connect common -action drop
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop -SID common
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create -SID common

And after this change, i am able to see the information of my
database on the new host.

Thanks everyone.

Hi Mohammad,

Is it required to Run even the RepManager command or
it is sufficient to execute emca -deconfig/config.

Thanks in Advance,
Anilkumar
