Title: migration strategy for this environment database db2 9.5 to oracle 12.1.0.2.0
Post by: ramakanth on May 17, 2018, 07:36:57 AM
Hi Team,

Actually we are planning migration from different database platform for cmod .Below are the environment details.

Source System:

CMOD - 8.5
DB2 - 9.5
Linux- 7.4

Target System Environment is:

CMOD - 10.1
ORACLE:12.1.0.2.0
Linux- 7.4

Is their any  possibilities to move from db2 9.5 version to oracle 12 v, like moving meta data from from database versions .

Curious about why you're moving from DB2 to Oracle?

To answer WHY to migrate from DB2 to Oracle, one good reason for all. Large companies like to streamline operations and that includes database services. To maintain a team of experts just for one DB2 while most of other DBs are Oracle and MS SQL based could be a nice way to reduce the cost.

I have done the migration of a smaller instance from DB2 Windows to Oracle Unix here are my key points:

Well that's all in a nut shell.

Disclaimer at the end  8) : use all above at your own risk, all notes I have typed are mine from my memories, so some minor tweaks could have been left out unintentionally.

Good luck and enjoy

I figured it was something like that. I've seen lots of headaches with oracle, but I can see your reasoning.

Good Luck!
