Oracle Discoverer 3i Migration

Oracle Discoverer 3i Viewer was provided with Oracle Internet Application Server 1.0.0 on a separate CD-ROM. If you did not install it with your Oracle Internet Application Server 1.0.0 installation, then no migration is necessary. If you did install it, then this chapter explains the process of migrating to Oracle Discoverer 3i version 3.3.57 in Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2.

Pre-Installation

Before you install Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2, you must back up the configuration file. Follow these steps to back up the configuration file:

1. Shut down all Oracle Discoverer 3i processes by killing any dis33ws and dis33pr processes that may be running. Then execute the script:

   promp> <OLD_HOME>/discwb33/util/stopall.sh
   
   

   where OLD_HOME is the directory in which you installed Oracle Discoverer 3i.

2. Copy OLD_HOME/discwb33/util/pref.txt to pref.mine.txt.

3. Remove Oracle Discoverer 3i Viewer using the separate CD-ROM provided with Oracle Internet Application Server 1.0.0.
