PURPOSE
Consider using the new release of this procedure, version 4. This version has drastically simplified the steps and procedure. Before proceeding, review: 考虑使用此过程的新发行版,即版本4。此版本已大大简化了步骤和过程。在继续之前,请查看V4 Reduce Transportable Tablespace Downtime using Cross Platform Incremental Backup Note 2471245.1
When using Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) to migrate data between systems that have different endian formats, the amount of downtime required can be substantial because it is directly proportional to the size of the data set being moved. However, combining XTTS with Cross Platform Incremental Backup can significantly reduce the amount of downtime required to move data between platforms.
使用跨平台可移动表空间(XTTS)在具有不同字节序格式的系统之间迁移数据时,所需的停机时间可能很长,因为它与要移动的数据集的大小成正比。但是,将XTTS与跨平台增量备份相结合可以大大减少在平台之间移动数据所需的停机时间。
Traditional Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces 传统的跨平台可移动表空间
The high-level steps in a typical XTTS scenario are the following: 典型的XTTS方案中的高级步骤如下
- Make tablespaces in source database READ ONLY 使源数据库中的表空间只读
- Transfer datafiles to destination system 将数据文件传输到目标系统
- Convert datafiles to destination system endian format 将数据文件转换为目标系统字节序格式
- Export metadata of objects in the tablespaces from source database using Data Pump 使用数据泵从源数据库导出表空间中对象的元数据
- Import metadata of objects in the tablespaces into destination database using Data Pump 使用数据泵将表空间中对象的元数据导入到目标数据库中
- Make tablespaces in destination database READ WRITE 使目标数据库中的表空间读写
Because the data transported must be made read only at the very start of the procedure, the application that owns the data is effectively unavailable to users for the entire duration of the procedure. Due to the serial nature of the steps, the downtime required for this procedure is proportional to the amount of data. If data size is large, datafile transfer and convert times can be long, thus downtime can be long.
因为必须仅在过程的开始就使传输的数据只读,所以拥有该数据的应用程序在整个过程中实际上对用户不可用。由于步骤的顺序性质,此过程所需的停机时间与数据量成正比。如果数据量很大,则数据文件的传输和转换时间会很长,因此停机时间会很长。
Reduce Downtime using Cross Platform Incremental Backup 使用跨平台增量备份减少停机时间
To reduce the amount of downtime required for XTTS, Oracle has enhanced RMAN's ability to roll forward datafile copies using incremental backups, to work in a cross-platform scenario. By using a series of incremental backups, each smaller than the last, the data at the destination system can be brought almost current with the source system, before any downtime is required. The downtime required for datafile transfer and convert when combining XTTS with Cross Platform Incremental Backup is now proportional to the rate of data block changes in the source system.
为了减少XTTS所需的停机时间,Oracle增强了RMAN使用增量备份前滚数据文件副本的能力,以在跨平台方案中工作。通过使用一系列增量备份(每个备份增量都小于上一个),可以在不需要任何停机时间之前,将源系统中的数据几乎与源系统中的数据同步。现在,将XTTS与跨平台增量备份结合使用时,数据文件传输和转换所需的停机时间与源系统中数据块更改的速度成比例。
The Cross Platform Incremental Backup feature does not affect the amount of time it takes to perform other actions for XTTS, such as metadata export and import. Hence, databases that have very large amounts of metadata (DDL) will see limited benefit from Cross Platform Incremental Backup since migration time is typically dominated by metadata operations, not datafile transfer and conversion.跨平台增量备份功能不会影响对XTTS执行其他操作(如元数据导出和导入)所花费的时间。因此,具有大量元数据(DDL)的数据库将无法从跨平台增量备份中受益,因为迁移时间通常是由元数据操作而不是数据文件传输和转换控制的。
Only those database objects that are physically located in the tablespaces that are being transported will be copied to the destination system. If you need for other objects to be transported, that are located in different tablespaces (such as, for example, pl/sql objects, sequences, etc., that are located in the SYSTEM tablespace), you can use data pump to copy those objects to the destination system.仅将物理上位于要传输的表空间中的那些数据库对象复制到目标系统。如果需要传输位于不同表空间中的其他对象(例如位于SYSTEM表空间中的 pl/sql 对象,序列等),则可以使用数据泵来复制这些对象到目标系统。
The high-level steps using the cross platform incremental backup capability are the following: 使用跨平台增量备份功能的高级步骤如下
1. Prepare phase (source data remains online) 准备阶段(源数据保持online)
- Transfer datafiles to destination system 将数据文件传输到目标系统
- Convert datafiles, if necessary, to destination system endian format 如有必要,将数据文件转换为目标系统字节序格式
2. Roll Forward phase (source data remains online - Repeat this phase as many times as necessary to catch destination datafile copies up to source database) 前滚阶段(源数据保持 online -重复此阶段多次以捕获目标数据文件副本直至源数据库)
- Create incremental backup on source system 在源系统上创建增量备份
- Transfer incremental backup to destination system 将增量备份转移到目标系统
- Convert incremental backup to destination system endian format and apply the backup to the destination datafile copies 将增量备份转换为目标系统字节序格式,并将备份应用于目标数据文件副本
3. Transport phase (source data is READ ONLY) 传输阶段(源数据为READ ONLY)
- Make tablespaces in source database READ ONLY 使源数据库中的表空间只读
- Repeat the Roll Forward phase one final time 最后一次重复前滚阶段
- This step makes destination datafile copies consistent with source database. 此步骤使目标数据文件副本与源数据库一致
- Time for this step is significantly shorter than traditional XTTS method when dealing with large data because the incremental backup size is smaller. 处理增量数据时,此步骤所需的时间明显少于传统XTTS方法,因为增量备份大小较小
The purpose of this document is to provide an example of how to use this enhanced RMAN cross platform incremental backup capability to reduce downtime when transporting tablespaces across platforms.
本文档的目的是提供一个示例,说明如何使用此增强的RMAN跨平台增量备份功能来减少跨平台传输表空间时的停机时间

Overview 总览
This document provides a procedural example of transporting two tablespaces called TS1 and TS2 from an Oracle Solaris SPARC system to an Oracle Exadata Database Machine running Oracle Linux, incorporating Oracle's Cross Platform Incremental Backup capability to reduce downtime.
本文档提供了一个示例,该示例将两个称为 TS1 和 TS2 的表空间从 Oracle Solaris SPARC 系统传输到运行 Oracle Linux 的 Oracle Exadata 数据库计算机,并结合了Oracle跨平台增量备份功能以减少停机时间。
After performing the Initial Setup phase, moving the data is performed in the following three phases:
执行“初始设置”阶段后,将在以下三个阶段中执行数据移动:
Prepare phase 准备阶段
During the Prepare phase, datafile copies of the tablespaces to be transported are transferred to the destination system and converted. The application being migrated is fully accessible during the Prepare phase. The Prepare phase can be performed using RMAN backups or dbms_file_transfer. Refer to the Selecting the Prepare Phase Method section for details about choosing the Prepare phase method. 在准备阶段,将要传输的表空间的数据文件副本传输到目标系统并进行转换。在准备阶段,可以完全访问要迁移的应用程序。可以使用RMAN备份或 dbms_file_transfer 执行“准备”阶段。有关选择准备阶段方法的详细信息,请参阅“选择准备阶段方法”部分。
Roll Forward phase 前滚阶段
During the Roll Forward phase, the datafile copies that were converted during the Prepare phase are rolled forward using incremental backups taken from the source database. By performing this phase multiple times, each successive incremental backup becomes smaller and faster to apply, allowing the data at the destination system to be brought almost current with the source system. The application being migrated is fully accessible during the Roll Forward phase. 在前滚阶段中,使用从源数据库获取的增量备份来前滚在准备阶段中转换的数据文件副本。通过多次执行此阶段,每个连续的增量备份将变得更小,更快地应用,从而使目标系统上的数据几乎与源系统保持最新。在前滚阶段,可以完全访问要迁移的应用程序
Transport phase 传输阶段
During the Transport phase, the tablespaces being transported are put into READ ONLY mode, and a final incremental backup is taken from the source database and applied to the datafile copies on the destination system, making the destination datafile copies consistent with source database. Once the datafiles are consistent, the tablespaces are TTS-exported from the source database and TTS-imported into the destination database. Finally, the tablespaces are made READ WRITE for full access on the destination database. The application being migrated cannot receive any updates during the Transport phase. 在传输阶段,将要传输的表空间置于只读模式,并从源数据库中获取最终的增量备份,并将其应用于目标系统上的数据文件副本,从而使目标数据文件副本与源数据库一致。一旦数据文件一致,就将表空间从源数据库导出到TTS,并将TTS导入到目标数据库。最后,将表空间设置为READ WRITE以便对目标数据库进行完全访问。在迁移阶段,要迁移的应用程序无法接收任何更新。

This method can also be used with 12c databases, however, for an alternative method for 12c see: 此方法也可以与12c数据库一起使用,但是,有关12c的另一种方法,请参见
Note 2005729.1 12C - Reduce Transportable Tablespace Downtime using Cross Platform Incremental Backup.
Selecting the Prepare Phase Method 选择准备阶段方法
During the Prepare phase, datafiles of the tablespaces to be transported are transferred to the destination system and converted by the xttdriver.pl script. There are two possible methods: 在准备阶段,将要传输的表空间的数据文件传输到目标系统,并通过 xttdriver.pl 脚本进行转换。有两种可能的方法:
- Using dbms_file_transfer (DFT) transfer (using xttdriver.pl -S and -G options) 使用 dbms_file_transfer (DFT)传输(使用 xttdriver.pl -S and -G 选项)
- Using Recovery Manager (RMAN) RMAN backup (using xttdriver.pl -p and -c options) 使用 Recovery Manager (RMAN) RMAN 备份(使用 xttdriver.pl -p and -c 选项)
The dbms_file_transfer method uses the dbms_file_transfer.get_file() subprogram to transfer the datafiles from the source system to the target system over a database link. The dbms_file_transfer method has the following advantages over the RMAN method: 1) it does not require staging area space on either the source or destination system; 2) datafile conversion occurs automatically during transfer - there is not a separate conversion step. The dbms_file_transfer method requires the following: dbms_file_transfer 方法使用 dbms_file_transfer.get_file() 子程序通过数据库链接将数据文件从源系统传输到目标系统。相对于RMAN方法,dbms_file_transfer方法具有以下优点:1)它不需要源系统或目标系统上的暂存区域空间; 2)数据文件转换在传输过程中自动发生-没有单独的转换步骤。 dbms_file_transfer方法需要以下内容
- A destination database running 11.2.0.4. Note that an incremental convert home or instance do not participate in dbms_file_transfer file transfers. 运行11.2.0.4的目标数据库。请注意,增量转换主目录或实例不参与 dbms_file_transfer 文件传输。
- A database directory object in the source database from where the datafiles are copied. 源数据库中复制数据文件的数据库目录对象。
- A database directory object in the destination database to where the datafiles are placed. 目标数据库中数据文件所在的数据库目录对象。
- A database link in the destination database referencing the source database. 目标数据库中引用源数据库的DBLink。
The RMAN backup method runs RMAN on the source system to create backups on the source system of the datafiles to be transported. The backups files must then be manually transferred over the network to the destination system. On the destination system the datafiles are converted by RMAN, if necessary. The output of the RMAN conversion places the datafiles in their final location where they will be used by the destination database. In the original version of xttdriver.pl, this was the only method supported. The RMAN backup method requires the following: RMAN备份方法在源系统上运行RMAN,以在要传输的数据文件的源系统上创建备份。然后必须将备份文件通过网络手动传输到目标系统。在目标系统上,如有必要,数据文件由RMAN转换。RMAN转换的输出将数据文件放在它们的最终位置,以供目标数据库使用。在原始版本的 xttdriver.pl 中,这是唯一受支持的方法。RMAN备份方法需要满足以下条件
- Staging areas are required on both the source and destination systems for the datafile copies created by RMAN. The staging areas are referenced in the xtt.properties file using the parameters dfcopydir and stageondest. The final destination where converted datafiles are placed is referenced in the xtt.properties file using the parameter storageondest. Refer to the Description of Parameters in Configuration File xtt.properties section for details and sizing guidelines. RMAN创建的数据文件副本在源系统和目标系统上都需要临时区域。使用参数dfcopydir 和 stageondest 在 xtt.properties 文件中引用暂存区域。使用参数 storageondest 在 xtt.properties 文件中引用了放置转换后的数据文件的最终目的地。有关详细信息和大小调整准则,请参考配置文件 xtt.properties 中的参数 描述
Details of using each of these methods are provided in the instructions below. The recommended method is the dbms_file_transfer method. 以下说明中提供了使用这些方法的详细信息。推荐的方法是dbms_file_transfer方法
Destination Database 11.2.0.3 or Earlier Requires a Separate Incremental Convert Home and Instance 目标数据库11.2.0.3或更早版本需要单独的增量转换主目录和实例
The Cross Platform Incremental Backup core functionality (i.e. incremental backup conversion) is delivered in Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 and later. If the destination database version is 11.2.0.4 or later, then the destination database can perform this function. However, if the destination database version is 11.2.0.3 or earlier, then, for the purposes of performing incremental backup conversion, a separate 11.2.0.4 software home, called the incremental convert home, must be installed, and an instance, called the incremental convert instance, must be started in NOMOUNT state using that home. The incremental convert home and incremental convert instance are temporary and are used only during the migration. Oracle数据库11.2.0.4及更高版本中提供了跨平台增量备份核心功能(即增量备份转换)。如果目标数据库版本为11.2.0.4或更高版本,则目标数据库可以执行此功能。但是,如果目标数据库版本为11.2.0.3或更早版本,则为了执行增量备份转换,必须安装一个单独的11.2.0.4 software home,称为增量转换home,以及一个实例,称为增量转换实例,必须使用该主目录以NOMOUNT状态启动。增量转换主目录和增量转换实例是临时的,仅在迁移期间使用
Note that because the dbms_file_transfer Prepare Phase method requires destination database 11.2.0.4, which can be used to perform the incremental backup conversions function (as stated above), an incremental convert home and incremental convert instance are usually only applicable when the Prepare Phase method is RMAN backup. 请注意,因为 dbms_file_transfer 准备阶段方法需要目标数据库11.2.0.4,可用于执行增量备份转换功能(如上所述),所以增量转换主目录和增量转换实例通常仅适用于准备阶段方法。 RMAN备份。
For details about setting up a temporary incremental convert instance, see instructions in Phase 1. 有关设置临时增量转换实例的详细信息,请参见阶段1中的说明
Troubleshooting 故障排除
To enable debug mode, either run xttdriver.pl with the -d flag, or set environment variable XTTDEBUG=1 before running xttdriver.pl. Debug mode enables additional screen output and causes all RMAN executions to be performed with the debug command line option. 要启用调试模式,请使用 -d 标志运行 xttdriver.pl,或者在运行 xttdriver.pl 之前设置环境变量 XTTDEBUG = 1。调试模式可启用其他屏幕输出,并使用调试命令行选项执行所有RMAN命令
Known Issues 已知问题
- If the source database contains nested IOTs with key compression, then the fix for Bug 14835322 must be installed in the destination database home (where the tablespace plug operation occurs). 如果源数据库包含具有密钥压缩功能的嵌套IOTs,则必须将Bug 14835322的修复程序安装在目标数据库主目录(发生表空间插入操作的位置)中
- If you wish to utilize block change tracking on the source database when incremental backups are created, then the fix for Bug 16850197 must be installed in the source database home. 如果要在创建增量备份时在源数据库上利用块更改跟踪,则必须在源数据库主目录中安装针对Bug 16850197的修复程序。

- Install a new 11.2.0.4 database home on the destination system. This is the incremental convert home. 在目标系统上安装新的11.2.0.4数据库home。 这是增量转换主目录。
- Using the incremental convert home startup an instance in the NOMOUNT state. This is the incremental convert instance. A database does not need to be created for the incremental convert instance. Only a running instance is required. 使用增量转换主目录启动实例处于NOMOUNT状态。这是增量转换实例。无需为增量转换实例创建数据库。仅需要一个正在运行的实例
The following steps may be used to create an incremental convert instance named xtt running out of incremental convert home /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/xtt_home: 可以使用以下步骤来创建名为 xtt 的增量转换实例,该实例将在增量转换主目录 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/xtt_home 中用完
[oracle@dest]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/xtt_home [oracle@dest]$ export ORACLE_SID=xtt [oracle@dest]$ cat << EOF > $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init$ORACLE_SID.ora db_name=xtt compatible=11.2.0.4.0 EOF [oracle@dest]$ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> startup nomountIf ASM storage is used for the xtt.properties parameter backupondest (described below), then the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter setting for this instance must be equal to or higher than the rdbms.compatible setting for the ASM disk group used. 如果 xst.properties 参数 backupondest 使用ASM存储(如下所述),则此实例的 COMPATIBLE 初始化参数设置必须等于或高于所用ASM磁盘组的 rdbms.compatible 设置。
Step 1.3 - Identify Tablespaces to be Transported 步骤1.3 - 确定要传输的表空间
Identify the tablespace(s) in the source database that will be transported. Tablespaces TS1 and TS2 will be used in the examples in this document. As indicated above, the limitations and considerations for transportable tablespaces must still be followed. 在源数据库中标识将要传输的表空间。表空间TS1和TS2将在本文档的示例中使用。如上所述,对于可移动表空间的限制和注意事项仍然必须遵循。
Step 1.4 - If Using dbms_file_transfer Prepare Phase Method, then Configure Directory Objects and Database Links 步骤1.4 - 如果使用 dbms_file_transfer 准备阶段方法,则配置目录对象和 Database Links
Note that the dbms_file_transfer Prepare Phase method requires the destination database to be 11.2.0.4. 请注意,dbms_file_transfer 准备阶段方法要求目标数据库为11.2.0.4
If using dbms_file_transfer as the Prepare Phase method, then three database objects must be created: 如果使用 dbms_file_transfer 作为“准备阶段”方法,则必须创建三个数据库对象
- A database directory object in the source database from where the datafiles are copied 源数据库中复制数据文件的数据库目录对象
- A database directory object in the destination database to where the datafiles are placed 目标数据库中放置数据文件的数据库目录对象
- A database link in the destination database referencing the source database 目标数据库中引用源数据库的 database link
The source database directory object references the location where the datafiles in the source database currently reside. For example, to create directory object sourcedir that references datafiles in ASM location +DATA/prod/datafile, connect to the source database and run the following SQL command: 源数据库目录对象引用源数据库中数据文件当前所在的位置。例如,要创建引用ASM位置+DATA/prod/datafile 中的数据文件的目录对象 sourcedir,请连接到源数据库并运行以下SQL命令:
SQL@source> create directory sourcedir as '+DATA/prod/datafile';
The destination database directory object references the location where the datafiles will be placed on the destination system. This should be the final location where the datafils will reside when in use by the destination database. For example, to create directory object dstdir that will place transferred datafiles in ASM location +DATA/prod/datafile, connect to the destination database and run the following SQL command: 目标数据库目录对象引用数据文件将在目标系统上放置的位置。这应该是目标数据库在使用数据文件时将驻留的最终位置。例如,要创建目录对象 dstdir 并将转移的数据文件放置在ASM位置 +DATA/prod/datafile 中,请连接到目标数据库并运行以下SQL命令
SQL@dest> create directory destdir as '+DATA/prod/datafile';
The database link is created in the destination database, referencing the source database. For example, to create a database link named ttslink, run the following SQL command: database link是在引用源数据库的目标数据库中创建的。例如,要创建名为 ttslink 的 database link,请运行以下SQL命令
SQL@dest> create public database link ttslink connect to system identified by <password> using '<tns_to_source>';
Verify the database link can properly access the source system: 验证 database link 可以正确访问源系统
SQL@dest> select * from dual@ttslink;
Step 1.5 - Create Staging Areas 步骤1.5 - 创建暂存区
Create the staging areas on the source and destinations systems as defined by the following xtt.properties parameters: backupformat, backupondest. 按照以下 xtt.properties 参数定义的在源系统和目标系统上创建暂存区域:backupformat,backupondest。
Also, if using RMAN backups in the Prepare phase, create the staging areas on the source and destinations systems as defined by the following xtt.properties parameters: dfcopydir, stageondest. 另外,如果在“准备”阶段中使用RMAN备份,请按照以下 xtt.properties 参数定义的在源系统和目标系统上创建暂存区:dfcopydir,stageondest。
Step 1.6 - Install xttconvert Scripts on the Source System 步骤1.6 - 在源系统上安装 xttconvert 脚本
On the source system, as the oracle software owner, download and extract the supporting scripts attached as rman-xttconvert_2.0.zip to this document. 在源系统上,以oracle软件所有者的身份下载并提取作为 rman-xttconvert_2.0.zip 附加到此文档的支持脚本
[oracle@source]$ pwd /home/oracle/xtt [oracle@source]$ unzip rman_xttconvert_v3.zip Archive: rman_xttconvert_v3.zip inflating: xtt.properties inflating: xttcnvrtbkupdest.sql inflating: xttdbopen.sql inflating: xttdriver.pl inflating: xttprep.tmpl extracting: xttstartupnomount.sql
Step 1.7 - Configure xtt.properties on the Source System 步骤1.7 - 在源系统上配置 xtt.properties
Edit the xtt.properties file on the source system with your site-specific configuration. For more information about the parameters in the xtt.properties file, refer to the Description of Parameters in Configuration File xtt.properties section in the Appendix below. 使用特定于站点的配置在源系统上编辑 xtt.properties 文件。 有关 xtt.properties 文件中的参数的更多信息,请参考下面附录中的配置文件 xtt.properties 中的参数说明部分
Step 1.8 - Copy xttconvert Scripts and xtt.properties to the Destination System 步骤1.8 - 将 xttconvert 脚本和 xtt.properties 复制到目标系统
As the oracle software owner copy all xttconvert scripts and the modified xtt.properties file to the destination system. 作为oracle软件所有者,将所有 xttconvert 脚本和修改后的 xtt.properties 文件复制到目标系统。
[oracle@source]$ scp -r /home/oracle/xtt dest:/home/oracle/xtt
Step 1.9 - Set TMPDIR 步骤1.9 - 设置TMPDIR
In the shell environment on both source and destination systems, set environment variable TMPDIR to the location where the supporting scripts exist. Use this shell to run the Perl script xttdriver.pl as shown in the steps below. If TMPDIR is not set, output files are created in and input files are expected to be in /tmp. 在源系统和目标系统上的Shell环境中,将环境变量TMPDIR设置为支持脚本所在的位置。使用shell运行Perl脚本 xttdriver.pl,如下步骤所示。如果未设置TMPDIR,则会在/tmp中创建输出文件,并且输入文件应位于/tmp中
[oracle@source]$ export TMPDIR=/home/oracle/xtt [oracle@dest]$ export TMPDIR=/home/oracle/xtt
Phase 2 - Prepare Phase
During the Prepare phase, datafiles of the tablespaces to be transported are transferred to the destination system and converted by the xttdriver.pl script. There are two possible methods:
- Phase 2A - dbms_file_transfer Method
- Phase 2B - RMAN Backup Method
Select and use one of these methods based upon the information provided in the Requirements and Recommendations section above.
NOTE: For large number of files, using dbms_file_transfer has been found to be the fastest method for transferring datafiles to destination.Phase 2A - Prepare Phase for dbms_file_transfer Method
Only use the steps in Phase 2A if the Prepare Phase method chosen is dbms_file_transfer and the setup instructions have been completed, particularly those in Step 1.4.
During this phase datafiles of the tablespaces to be transported are transferred directly from source system and placed on the destination system in their final location to be used by the destination database. If conversion is required, it is performed automatically during transfer. No separate conversion step is required. The steps in this phase are run only once. The data being transported is fully accessible in the source database during this phase.
Step 2A.1 - Run the Prepare Step on the Source System
On the source system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the source database, run the prepare step as follows:
[oracle@source]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -S
The prepare step performs the following actions on the source system:
- Verifies the tablespaces are online, in READ WRITE mode, and do not contain offline datafiles.
- Creates the following files used later in this procedure:
- xttnewdatafiles.txt
- getfile.sql
The set of tablespaces being transported must all be online, contain no offline data files, and must be READ WRITE. The Prepare step will signal an error if one or more datafiles or tablespaces in your source database are offline or READ ONLY. If a tablespace is READ ONLY and will remain so throughout the procedure, then simply transport those tablespaces using the traditional cross platform transportable tablespace process. No incremental apply is needed for those files.
Step 2A.2 - Transfer the Datafiles to the Destination System
On the destination system, log in as the oracle user and set the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) to the destination database (it is invalid to attempt to use an incremental convert instance). Copy the xttnewdatafiles.txt and getfile.sql files created in step 2A.1 from the source system and run the -G get_file step as follows:
NOTE: This step copies all datafiles being transported from the source system to the destination system. The length of time for this step to complete is dependent on datafile size, and may be substantial. Use getfileparallel option for parallelism.
[oracle@dest]$ scp oracle@source:/home/oracle/xtt/xttnewdatafiles.txt /home/oracle/xtt
[oracle@dest]$ scp oracle@source:/home/oracle/xtt/getfile.sql /home/oracle/xtt
# MUST set environment to destination database
[oracle@dest]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -GWhen this step is complete, the datafiles being transported will reside in the final location where they will be used by the destination database. Note that endian conversion, if required, is performed automatically during this step.
Proceed to Phase 3 to create and apply incremental backups to the datafiles.
Phase 2B - Prepare Phase for RMAN Backup Method
Only use the steps in Phase 2B if the Prepare Phase method chosen is RMAN backup and the setup instructions have been completed, particularly those in Step 1.5.
During this phase datafile copies of the tablespaces to be transported are created on the source system, transferred to the destination system, converted, and placed in their final location to be used by the destination database. The steps in this phase are run only once. The data being transported is fully accessible in the source database during this phase.
Step 2B.1 - Run the Prepare Step on the Source System
On the source system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the source database, run the prepare step as follows:
[oracle@source]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -p
The prepare step performs the following actions on the source system:
- Creates datafile copies of the tablespaces that will be transported in the location specified by the xtt.properties parameter dfcopydir.
- Verifies the tablespaces are online, in READ WRITE mode, and do not contain offline datafiles.
- Creates the following files used later in this procedure:
- xttplan.txt
- rmanconvert.cmd
The set of tablespaces being transported must all be online, contain no offline data files, and must be READ WRITE. The Prepare step will signal an error if one or more datafiles or tablespaces in your source database are offline or READ ONLY. If a tablespace is READ ONLY and will remain so throughout the procedure, then simply transport those tablespaces using the traditional cross platform transportable tablespace process. No incremental apply is needed for those files.
Step 2B.2 - Transfer Datafile Copies to the Destination System
On the destination system, logged in as the oracle user, transfer the datafile copies created in the previous step from the source system. Datafile copies on the source system are created in the location defined in xtt.properties parameter dfcopydir. The datafile copies must be placed in the location defined by xtt.properties parameter stageondest.
Any method of transferring the datafile copies from the source system to the destination system that results in a bit-for-bit copy is supported.
If the dfcopydir location on the source system and the stageondest location on the destination system refer to the same NFS storage location, then this step can be skipped since the datafile copies are already available in the expected location on the destination system.
In the example below, scpis used to transfer the copies created by the previous step from the source system to the destination system. [oracle@dest]$ scp oracle@source:/stage_source/* /stage_dest
Note that due to current limitations with cross-endian support in DBMS_FILE_TRANSPORT and ASMCMD, you must use OS-level commands, such as SCP or FTP to transfer the copies from the source system to destination system.
Step 2B.3 - Convert the Datafile Copies on the Destination System
On the destination system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the destination database, copy the rmanconvert.cmd file created in step 2B.1 from the source system and run the convert datafiles step as follows:
[oracle@dest]$ scp oracle@source:/home/oracle/xtt/rmanconvert.cmd /home/oracle/xtt
[oracle@dest]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -c
The convert datafiles step converts the datafiles copies in the stageondest location to the endian format of the destination system. The converted datafile copies are written in the location specified by the xtt.properties parameter storageondest. This is the final location where datafiles will be accessed when they are used by the destination database.
When this step is complete, the datafile copies in stageondest location are no longer needed and may be removed.
Phase 3 - Roll Forward Phase
During this phase an incremental backup is created from the source database, transferred to the destination system, converted to the destination system endian format, then applied to the converted destination datafile copies to roll them forward. This phase may be run multiple times. Each successive incremental backup should take less time than the prior incremental backup, and will bring the destination datafile copies more current with the source database. The data being transported is fully accessible during this phase.
Step 3.1 - Create an Incremental Backup of the Tablespaces being Transported on the Source System
On the source system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the source database, run the create incremental step as follows:
[oracle@source]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -iThe create incremental step executes RMAN commands to generate incremental backups for all tablespaces listed in xtt.properties. It creates the following files used later in this procedure:
- tsbkupmap.txt
- incrbackups.txt
Step 3.2 - Transfer Incremental Backup to the Destination System
Transfer the incremental backup(s) created during the previous step to the stageondest location on the destination system. The list of incremental backup files to copy are found in the incrbackups.txt file on the source system.
[oracle@source]$ scp `cat incrbackups.txt` oracle@dest:/stage_dest
If the backupformat location on the source system and the stageondest location on the destination system refer to the same NFS storage location, then this step can be skipped since the incremental backups are already available in the expected location on the destination system.
Step 3.3 - Convert the Incremental Backup and Apply to the Datafile Copies on the Destination System
On the destination system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the destination database, copy the xttplan.txt and tsbkupmap.txt files from the source system and run the rollforward datafiles step as follows:
[oracle@dest]$ scp oracle@source:/home/oracle/xtt/xttplan.txt /home/oracle/xtt
[oracle@dest]$ scp oracle@source:/home/oracle/xtt/tsbkupmap.txt /home/oracle/xtt
[oracle@dest]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -rThe rollforward datafiles step connects to the incremental convert instance as SYS, converts the incremental backups, then connects to the destination database and applies the incremental backups for each tablespace being transported.
Note:
1. You must copy the xttplan.txt and tsbkupmap.txt files each time that this step is executed, because their content is different each iteration.
2. Do NOT change, copy or make any changes to the xttplan.txt.new generated by the script.
3. The destination instance will be shutdown and restarted by this process.
Step 3.4 - Determine the FROM_SCN for the Next Incremental Backup
On the source system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the source database, run the determine new FROM_SCN step as follows:
[oracle@source]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -s
The determine new FROM_SCN step calculates the next FROM_SCN, records it in the file xttplan.txt, then uses that SCN when the next incremental backup is created in step 3.1.
Step 3.5 - Repeat the Roll Forward Phase (Phase 3) or Move to the Transport Phase (Phase 4)
At this point there are two choices:
- If you need to bring the files at the destination database closer in sync with the production system, then repeat the Roll Forward phase, starting with step 3.1.
- If the files at the destination database are as close as desired to the source database, then proceed to the Transport phase.
NOTE: If a datafile is added to one a tablespace since last incremental backup and/or a new tablespace name is added to the xtt.properties, the following will appear:
Error:
------
The incremental backup was not taken as a datafile has been added to the tablespace:Please Do the following:
--------------------------
1. Copy fixnewdf.txt from source to destination temp dir2. Copy backups:
<backup list>
from <source location> to the <stage_dest> in destination3. On Destination, run $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl --fixnewdf
4. Re-execute the incremental backup in source:
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl --bkpincrNOTE: Before running incremental backup, delete FAILED in source temp dir or
run xttdriver.pl with -L option:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -L --bkpincr
These instructions must be followed exactly as listed. The next incremental backup will include the new datafile.
Phase 4 - Transport Phase
NOTE: Be sure the destination database has the necessary objects to allow the import to succeed. This includes pre-creating the owners of the tables in the tablespace being plugged in. See information on Transportable Tablespace and the guidance provided in the MAA paper Platform Migration Using Transportable Tablespaces: Oracle Database 11g.
During this phase the source data is made READ ONLY and the destination datafiles are made consistent with the source database by creating and applying a final incremental backup. After the destination datafiles are made consistent, the normal transportable tablespace steps are performed to export object metadata from the source database and import it into the destination database. The data being transported is accessible only in READ ONLY mode until the end of this phase.
Step 4.1 - Make Source Tablespaces READ ONLY in the Source Database
On the source system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the source database, make the tablespaces being transported READ ONLY.
system@source/prod SQL> alter tablespace TS1 read only;
Tablespace altered.
system@source/prod SQL> alter tablespace TS2 read only;
Tablespace altered.
Step 4.2 - Create the Final Incremental Backup, Transfer, Convert, and Apply It to the Destination Datafiles
Repeat steps 3.1 through 3.3 one last time to create, transfer, convert, and apply the final incremental backup to the destination datafiles.
[oracle@source]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -i
[oracle@source]$ scp `cat incrbackups.txt` oracle@dest:/stage_dest
[oracle@source]$ scp xttplan.txt oracle@dest:/home/oracle/xtt
[oracle@source]$ scp tsbkupmap.txt oracle@dest:/home/oracle/xtt
[oracle@dest]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -r
Step 4.3 - Import Object Metadata into Destination Database
On the destination system, logged in as the oracle user with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables) pointing to the destination database, run the generate Data Pump TTS command step as follows:
[oracle@dest]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl xttdriver.pl -e
The generate Data Pump TTS command step creates a sample Data Pump network_link transportable import command in the file xttplugin.txt with the transportable tablespaces parameters TRANSPORT_TABLESPACES and TRANSPORT_DATAFILES correctly set. Note that network_link mode initiates an import over a database link that refers to the source database. A separate export or dump file is not required. If you choose to perform the tablespace transport with this command, then you must edit the import command to replace import parameters DIRECTORY, LOGFILE, and NETWORK_LINK with site-specific values.
The following is an example network mode transportable import command:
[oracle@dest]$ impdp directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR logfile=tts_imp.log network_link=ttslink \
transport_full_check=no \
transport_tablespaces=TS1,TS2 \
transport_datafiles='+DATA/prod/datafile/ts1.285.771686721', \
'+DATA/prod/datafile/ts2.286.771686723', \
'+DATA/prod/datafile/ts2.287.771686743'After the object metadata being transported has been extracted from the source database, the tablespaces in the source database may be made READ WRITE again, if desired.
Database users that own objects being transported must exist in the destination database before performing the transportable import.If you do not use network_link import, then perform the tablespace transport by running transportable mode Data Pump Export on the source database to export the object metadata being transported into a dump file, then transfer the dump file to the destination system, then run transportable mode Data Pump Import to import the object metadata into the destination database. Refer to the following manuals for details:
Step 4.4 - Make the Tablespace(s) READ WRITE in the Destination Database
The final step is to make the destination tablespace(s) READ WRITE in the destination database.
system@dest/prod SQL> alter tablespace TS1 read write;
Tablespace altered.
system@dest/prod SQL> alter tablespace TS2 read write;
Tablespace altered.
Step 4.5 - Validate the Transported Data
At this step, the transported data is READ ONLY in the destination database. Perform application specific validation to verify the transported data.
Also, run RMAN to check for physical and logical block corruption by running VALIDATE TABLESPACE as follows:
RMAN> validate tablespace TS1, TS2 check logical;
Phase 5 - Cleanup
If a separate incremental convert home and instance were created for the migration, then the instance may be shutdown and the software removed.
Files created by this process are no longer required and may now be removed. They include the following:
- dfcopydir location on the source system
- backupformat location on the source system
- stageondest location on the destination system
- backupondest location on the destination system
- $TMPDIR location in both destination and source systems
Appendix
Description of Perl Script xttdriver.pl Options
The following table describes the options available for the main supporting script xttdriver.pl.
Option | Description |
---|---|
-S prepare source for transfer |
-S option is used only when Prepare phase method is dbms_file_transfer. Prepare step is run once on the source system during Phase 2A with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the source database. This step creates files xttnewdatafiles.txt and getfile.sql. |
-G get datafiles from source |
-G option is used only when Prepare phase method is dbms_file_transfer. Get datafiles step is run once on the destination system during Phase 2A with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the destination database. The -S option must be run beforehand and files xttnewdatafiles.txt and getfile.sql transferred to the destination system. This option connects to the destination database and runs script getfile.sql. getfile.sql invokes dbms_file_transfer.get_file() subprogram for each datafile to transfer it from the source database directory object (defined by parameter srcdir) to the destination database directory object (defined by parameter dstdir) over a database link (defined by parameter srclink). |
-p prepare source for backup |
-p option is used only when Prepare phase method is RMAN backup. Prepare step is run once on the source system during Phase 2B with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the source database.
|
-c convert datafiles |
-c option is used only when Prepare phase method is RMAN backup. Convert datafiles step is run once on the destination system during Phase 2B with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the destination database. |
-i create incremental | Create incremental step is run one or more times on the source system with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the source database. This step reads the SCNs listed in $TMPDIR/xttplan.txt and generates an incremental backup that will be used to roll forward the datafile copies on the destination system. |
-r rollforward datafiles | Rollforward datafiles step is run once for every incremental backup created with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the destination database. This step connects to the incremental convert instance using the parameters cnvinst_home and cnvinst_sid, converts the incremental backup pieces created by the Create Incremental step, then connects to the destination database and rolls forward the datafile copies by applying the incremental for each tablespace being transported. |
-s determine new FROM_SCN | Determine new FROM_SCN step is run one or more times with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the source database. This step calculates the next FROM_SCN, records it in the file xttplan.txt, then uses that SCN when the next incremental backup is created in step 3.1. It reports the mapping of the new FROM_SCN to wall clock time to indicate how far behind the changes in the next incremental backup will be. |
-e generate Data Pump TTS command | Generate Data Pump TTS command step is run once on the destination system with the environment (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) set to the destination database. This step creates the template of a Data Pump Import command that uses a network_link to import metadata of objects that are in the tablespaces being transported. |
-d debug | -d option enables debug mode for xttdriver.pl and RMAN commands it executes. Debug mode can also be enabled by setting environment variable XTTDEBUG=1. |

The srcdir to dstdir mapping can either be N:1 or N:N. i.e. there can be multiple source directories and the files will be written to a single destination directory, or files from a particular source directory can be written to a particular destination directory. This parameter is used only when Prepare phase method is dbms_file_transfer. |
srcdir=SOURCEDIR srcdir=SRC1,SRC2 |
dstdir |
Directory object in the destination database that defines where the destination datafiles will be created. If multiple source directories are used (srcdir), then multiple destinations can be defined so a particular source directory is written to a particular destination directory. This parameter is used only when Prepare phase method is dbms_file_transfer. |

backupformat | Location on the source system where incremental backups are created. This location must have sufficient free space to hold the incremental backups created for one iteration through the process documented above. This location may be an NFS-mounted filesystem that is shared with the destination system, in which case it should reference the same NFS location as the stageondest parameter for the destination system. |
backupformat=/stage_source |
stageondest | Location on the destination system where datafile copies are placed by the user when they are transferred manually from the source system. This location must have sufficient free space to hold copies of all datafiles being transported. This is also the location from where datafiles copies and incremental backups are read when they are converted in the "-c conversion of datafiles" and "-r roll forward datafiles" steps. This location may be a DBFS-mounted filesystem. This location may be an NFS-mounted filesystem that is shared with the source system, in which case it should reference the same NFS location as the dfcopydir and backupformat parameters for the source system. See Note 359515.1 for mount option guidelines. |
stageondest=/stage_dest |
storageondest |
Location on the destination system where the converted datafile copies will be written during the "-c conversion of datafiles" step. This parameter is used only when Prepare phase method is RMAN backup. |

asm_home=/u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid |
asm_sid | ORACLE_SID for the ASM instance that runs on the destination system. | asm_sid=+ASM1 |
parallel |
Defines the degree of parallelism set in the RMAN CONVERT command file rmanconvert.cmd. This file is created during the prepare step and used by RMAN in the convert datafiles step to convert the datafile copies on the destination system. If this parameter is unset, xttdriver.pl uses parallel=8. NOTE: RMAN parallelism used for the datafile copies created in the RMAN Backup prepare phase and the incremental backup created in the rollforward phase is controlled by the RMAN configuration on the source system. It is not controlled by this parameter.
