InfoSphere 11.3.1 Repository - sql-server

Has anyone got any experience using a database othe than DB2 for an IBM InfoSphere 11.3.1 repository?
In 11.3.1, IBM added support for Oracle and SQL Server databases as the repository, and I'm curious to know what pros/cons other's may have run into using something other than DB2 since it's a new "feature".
Thanks!

Legacy SSMigrationAssistant for Oracle 7.3?

Im unable to get any connectivity to Oracle 7.3 using the current SSMA from Microsoft. There is no legacy download anymore and i think i need an older version, 6.0. I keep getting two-task connection potocol errors when I use the tnsnames method to define a service. This works with the schema manager in the legacy oracle tools but no matter what i try Im unable to get a connection in the new SSMA without seeing that error. I should say im on a windows 7 vm for legacy reasons.
I have tried using a linked server in sql 2008 and 2012 which would allow me to make views. I could then bring it into Entity Framework, which is the ultimate goal, but same result as above.
Anyone had a similar issue and happen to have an older SSMA?
Client/Server Interoperability Support [ID 207303.1]
For Oracle Server 7.3 you need oracle client 7.3 or 8.0.5-8.1.7 or 9.0
Oracle8 i 8.1.7 Documentation
To configure oracle client SQL*Net V1, V2 ,tnsnames.ora read SQL*Net FAQ
I installed Oracle 7.3 very long ago in 1996 :).
Update
You can migrate to the free version of the Oracle 11 XE version or use an RDS instance of Oracle in the Amazon cloud with free 1-year service .
Use the utility exp and imp. These utilities are no longer being developed and are not supported, but are necessary for migration from very old versions.
Migration plan:
Define the necessary schemes and users for migration in the source
database, table spaces.
Install the free version of Oracle 11 or create an RDS instance of Oracle in the Amazon cloud with free 1-year service.
Create the required tablespaces.
Create profiles, users and roles.
Import the dump file.
Make the migration in mssql.

what is oracle universal installer in oracle database products

I am new to oracle database products. I am planning to install oracle 11g express edition in my PC,it looks like a standard installer.But in many of the oracle database installation tutorial mentions oracle universal installer.oracle universal installer provides more open options,but those options and features not available in downloaded oracle 11g express edition.
difference between two https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#XEINW151 and http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/11g/r1/prod/install/dbinst/windbinst2.htm
so anyone explain me exactly what is oracle universal installer??Thx in advance.
As the name suggests oracle universal installer is a utility which can be used to install or uninstall multiple oracle products.
The utility can also check pre-requisites before installing a new software.
Only thing you need to do is to provide path to products.xml file inside oraparam.ini file. This can be location for the file on your physical machine or remote location may be hosted on oracle site.
The products.xml file actually have the information about the product being installed for example it is Oracle Client or DB.
For more information please check this link
FYI, this question would have been better asked on the DBA site since it has nothing to do with programming.
XE is a minimal installation for test/dev work so I guess they decided not to clutter it up with OUI, which I have never liked anyway. OUI is simply Oracle's Java-based installer that installs and keeps track of the majority of Oracle software you have installed on your system. There's nothing special about it, and you have no need to worry about missing out on something. If you were installing the standard database, it would try to start the network config tool that creates the TNSNames.ora file, for example. It's been a while since I used XE but I think it's install just creates a generic one for connecting to the XE instance.

How use MS SQL as primary database in Bonita 6

Good day. :D
I'm in some trouble configuring BonitaBPM with Ms Sql database.
Already searched a lot on the internet but many of the examples used in mysql show, it tried to do the same, so that the problem that the files mentioned in the articles do not exist in my folders setup Bonita (Bundle, etc.).
I try to configure the file that links to BD's but gives a runtime error.
My goal is to use Ms Sql as the primary database, thus making the emigration of all tables in Bonita to SQL DB.
I would like to receive an example how to do this configuration.
Thank you already.
Actually Bonita BPM 6 can be configured to use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (Bonitasoft provide official support for such configuration) but only with the JBoss bundle or other supported applications server such as Oracle WebLogic.
That is because:
Apache Tomcat is not a full Java EE application server
An extra library (Bitronix) is included to provide transaction management support
Bitronix has known issues with SQL Server
So only solution I may suggest is to switch to JBoss bundle, or, if possible, use an alternative DBMS such as PostgreSQL.
Sorry to not be able to come with a better option but here we facing a limitation of Bitronix library.

Is there a way to migrate SQL Server to Vistadb (Umbraco)

I am on a shared host and whilst in development (umbraco) I think it would be easier to use VistaDB then package up to install to SQL Server. However, I have already started using SQL Server. Is there a way to migrate my SQL Server (2008) database to VistaDB. I assume the schema is identical but I need a way/tool to move the data to VistaDB.
You could migrate to VistaDB in the same way that you want to migrate data from development to production. Create a package from your current SQL Server-based development site, then create a new empty install of Umbraco with a VistaDB database and import the package there.
This would also be a useful dry run to check that migration to production is going to work as smoothly as you expect.
You can also use the Data Migration Tool in VistaDB to migrate any SQL Server database to VistaDB 4. If you need an older migration (I think the current Umbraco is still using VDB3 files) contact support through the VistaDB.Net site and someone will help you.
