3. How to Get the Oracle Account
Go to and search for “Oracle Metalinks”. You will find this information:
If you require access to the Oracle Metalinks, please follow the steps below:
Go to the following url:
Enter your login credentials
If you do not have log in credentials you will need to register. To do so, please follow the instructions below:
From the login page select Create your Oracle account now
Fill out the form as requested

Once you have submitted the registration form, an automatic will be generated and sent to the CA Metalink Administrator. The Administrator will review the registration request ensuring that the requestor is a CA employee. Once this is verified, the administrator will grant access to the requestor.
If there are any issues in accessing Metalink, contact the Oracle Alliance Manager

5. How to access Oracle DB
Using web browser at “
Using “SQL Plus” Start->Oracle->Application Development-> SQL Plus (command line)
Using “SQL Developer” (GUI)

6. SQL Developer Most useful from list above
Can be downloaded from Oracle web side
Can access DB remotely
Can be used to run queries, see tables, creating users, granting privileges and much more!

9. Import and export data in Oracle
Export/import using ‘exp/imp’ (we will not talk about it)
Older tool
Slower with less options
Export/import using ‘expdp/impdp’
Oracle Data Pump is a newer, faster and more flexible alternative to the "exp" and "imp"
Use parallel execution rather than a single stream of execution, for improved performance

10. Export/import using ‘expdp/impdp’
Pre-work:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY export_test AS ‘D:\exported_db';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY export_test TO admin;
Export Schema:
expdp schemas=qualcomm_2 directory=export_test dumpfile=qualcomm_2.dmp logfile=qualcomm_2.log;
Import back the same schema:
impdp schemas=qualcomm_2 directory=export_test dumpfile=qualcomm_2.dmp logfile=imp_qualcomm_2.log

11. Import Customer’s DB dump file
Guiding Principles
Successful restores includes knowing the answer to these questions about DB you are about to restore:
The Oracle version
The CEM administrators account
The command used to export the database (exp or expdp)
The type of dump (complete, incremental, or incremental)
Size of database being restored

12. Import Customer’s DB dump file
Step 1: Create tablespace (not required if we use existing tablespace)
This tablespace will be used for imported tables
create tablespace CUST_TS datafile ‘D:\oracle_data\CUST_TS_DATA_1.DBF’ size 5g;
alter tablespace CUST_TS add datafile ‘D:\oracle_data\CUST_TS_DATA_2.DBF’ size 5g;
Step 2: Create CEM User Account
Create the CEM User account along with password and associate it with the tablespace that was just created. Set the correct permissions on the account. 
create user customer identified by quality default tablespace CUST_TS;
grant connect, resource, create view to customer;

13. Import Customer’s DB dump file
Step 3: Create Directory Alias and permissions 
Create the directory alias and needed permissions to do the import
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY cust_dir AS 'D:\customer db';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY cust_dir TO customer;
Step 4: Run the import
Run it from the command line:
The command remaps the schema from APM to ‘cust_user’ and tablespace from APMDATA to CUST_TS 
impdp admin/quality directory= cust_dir dumpfile=cust_db.dmp REMAP_SCHEMA=apm:customer REMAP_TABLESPACE=APMDATA:CUST_TS logfile=cust_db_import.log

14. Preparation of Oracle DB for APM Installation
Oracle, it needs to be Enterprise Edition with partitioning enabled
We need to create the APM user
Grant privileges to APM user
Create tablespace (if necessary) and set it as default tablespace for APM user
Run ALTER SYSTEM SET
ALTER SYSTEM SET deferred_segment_creation=FALSE scope=both; (To allow space to be allocated to a table when the Create Table statement is executed on Oracle 11g R2 and later versions)

15. Migration to Oracle Requirements
In order for migration to be successful we need to have source DB (including all data), destination DB and machine from which is migration executed in the same time zone. Migration across time zones (for example PST to IST) is not supported.
Recommended to run ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors =2000 SCOPE=BOTH;
Syntax
migration.bat -srcDatabaseName cemdb -srcDatabaseType postgres -srcHost localhost -srcPassword quality -srcPort srcUser admin -tgtDatabaseName orcl -tgtDatabaseType oracle -tgtHost localhost -tgtPassword quality -tgtPort tgtUser admin

16. Migration to Oracle Steps:
Create empty schema in Oracle using “createschema” script (we can only create schema for major releases, in our case it is )
Upgrade created schema on Oracle to required version using “upgradeschema” script
Migrate Data using “migration” script
Oracle -> Postgres migration is not supported
