How can install baan IV with Oracle 9i

Always search the board first before posting questions, your answer may have been already answered.
In this case, look for: Oracle9i Baan
Also check threads http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6354&highlight=oracle9i+Baan and http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1845&highlight=oracle9i+Baan

The links which have been given talks about the Oracle 9i driver and porting set related info. , they doesn't talk about how to proceed with BaaN installation with Oracle.

You should also read your manuals (RTFM). Your BaanIV product comes with an Oracle installation manual. If you have problems *after* reading that, then come and ask your specific questions here.

An answer can not be satisfactory if your question is not satisfactory.

I believe Jeffery is referring to the known problem with the basic Baan Install disk.

I have a similar issue. I'm setting up a new hardware environment for Baan and it would be nice to create a Clean new install instead of moving my present install to new hardware.

The Install CD I have, I know will not work with oracle 8i let alone 9i. It's possible that Baan has released a new CD that has a build in porting set that will allow the install to complete using an Oracle 9i database, however without the new install CD (If it exist), there is no way to create a New Install of Baan without starting with an older (Obsolete) version of oracle and then upgrading your Oracle to 9i.

This will not leave you with a Clean 9i environment however.

Hello,

I confirmed it with BGS ( BaaN Global Support ) about Oracle 9i, they said Oracle 9i is not supported, but Oracle 9.0.3 is supported, so if u plan to install BaaN IV C4 with Oracle 9i, then first install Oracle 8 or 8i, and then later migrate to Oracle 9i through Oracle Migration Utilities.

The very latest install media should support a 9i install for Baan 4 and Baan 5.

Hello,

ok, may be i can say u have much more recent information that my local BGS, anyway i would like to know one more thing, although i tried first searching it on baanboard, but couldn't find the required post.

Since i have already installed BaaN IV c4 on Oracle 8i with Win NT 4.0 as O/S , I have few doubts......

1)How can i migrate it to Oracle 9i ?? will there be any problem for updation ??

2)is there any doc which talks all about this ???

3)should i do it before validating the system, so that i do not need to re-request for validation licence key incase of server crash ??


In a day or 2 i will be validating the system with the licence key.

Hi Learner,

1) 2 ways really. use oracle's migration tool. or export / import the data.
Make sure you're character sets and NLS_LANG are the same.

The migration tool works, I've done it that way. But there has been some worries in the past about it fragmenting system tables (which, in theory, could cause poor performance)

2) There is an ok Baan doc on it, ask your local support center to look it up for you!

3) Validate away, Oracle 9 uses the oracle 8 driver, so there is no difference to Baan.

Hi.

I am trying to obtain the latest installation CD form BGS since more than a month. They still did not sent it.

So I had to try other ways to install BIVc4 with Oracle 9i.
One possible option is to install 8i and migrate...

The one I did was to create the Oracle 9i Baan database manually and then point the Baan installation to it.

We are now testing the new environment in order to migrate the data.

Hi,

yesterday i had a phone meeting with BGS
Europe (Duisburg).
Oracle9i is supported with Portingset 6.1c07 (IVc) and 7.1d02(ERP5c).
Installation Media for Windows is also availible. Order No : 6761.0001
For Migration from Oracle8 to Oracle 9 see the Migration Guide U8046B US


@fred
order the newest Installation media from Baan online store.

Be careful with this Porting Set.
I reveived a mail from BGS which they send to customers who downloaded this.

Dear Customer,

According to our logging information of the Baan FTP website, you have
downloaded Porting Set 7.1d.02. Please take notice of the following.

If you are running in a Level 1 mode:
- Please do NOT install this Porting Set. Problems have been found, which
are currently under investigation.
- If you have already installed this Porting Set, please revert back to
7.1d.01 and contact your local Baan Support Center.

If you are running in a Level 2 mode, you don't have to take any action.

Solution 135347 will be kept up-to-date with the latest information about
this Porting Set.

With kind regards,

Baan Global Support

ORACLE always works in Level 2 mode from a standard installation. No Problem.

I am new to Oracle, could u please let me know how can i see my Oracle Level ??

Please tell me step by step.

Learner

if you have any indexes in your database, such as baandb.ttccom010100$IDX1 your are at level 2.

This is better for your ODBC performance than
being at level 1...

Hi,

Thanks I will check it, and in case of any doubt will revert accordingly.
