Migrating Database Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server

The Oracle database is used widely used as part of their IT stack and many organizations still prefer the on-premises database version. As data processing volumes increase, it is necessary to identify systems that can handle future growth. What is needed is to be on a platform that provides improved power and performance at a reasonable cost structure and the most optimized way to do so is to migrate databases in Oracle to SQLServer hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud.


Here are the steps to migrate databases from Oracle to SQL Server.

Seamless migration of Oracle databases to SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, or Azure Synapse Analytics is done through the SSMA or the SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) for Oracle. SSMA enables the review of database objects and data, access to databases for migration, and moving database objects to SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, or Azure Synapse Analytics. However, it is not possible to migrate SYS and SYSTEM Oracle schemas.

Steps for Oracle to SQL Server database migration

·        Create a new SSMA project and then carry out conversion, migration, and mapping options

·        Establish a connection with the Oracle database server and an instance of the SQL Server.

·        Map the Oracle database schemas to SQL Server database schemas and convert the Oracle database schemas into SQL Server schemas.

·        Converted database objects have to be loaded into SQL Server

·        Migrate the database from Oracle to SQL Server and update all database applications.

Some of the other uses of Oracle to SQL Server database migration are moving Oracle databases to Azure SQL database and Azure Synapse Analytics.

The SAP Extractor is a program in SAP ERP that can be customized or taken from a standardized Data Source. Both options describe a delta load process or various types of full load. The SAP BW can remotely access the various data transfer facets of the SAP Extractor   and is used to capture and prepare data via an extract structure that is transferable to the Business Warehouse (BW) of SAP.  SAP data extraction with the SAP Extractor is of three types. The first is Content Extraction where the Extractor is used to extract BW content, FI, HR, CO, SAP CRM, and LO cockpit. Second is the  Customer-Generated Extraction where the SAP BW Extractor is used for LIS, FI-SL, and CO-PA. The third is Generic Extractionbased on DB View, Infoset, and Function Modules. The SAP Extractor was developed mainly to cater to the applications of the SAP Business Warehouse and the type of extraction activity used by organizations depends on their specific requirements.

This data can then be stored in downstream data warehouses or business intelligence systems. SAP customers who do not use BW can use the SAP Extractor  to integrate with SAP BW applications . The SAP Extractoris a program in SAP ERP used to prepare and capture data through an extract structure for transferring to BW. It can be either a delta load process of different types, a standard DataSource, or a customized DataSourcethat details a full load. The SAP Extractor also populates the delta queue with new and changed records when the extractor is a delta type after which the data transfer remote call transfers the data to SAP BW. When you define the load process with an InfoPackage in the scheduler, it is possible to extract data from SAP and transfer  it to the input layer of the SAP Business Warehouse also called the Persistent Staging Area (PSA).

The SAP Extractor is a data management feature of SAP, known as the BW Extractor in the past. It is used to extract SAP data from source systems for storing in downstream data warehouses. The objective of the SAP Extractor is to extract SAP data for feeding SAP BW applications. Moreover, if an SAP client is not using the BW, this option can still be used for integrating data with an SAP Extractor . Once data is extracted with the SAP Extractor, it can be transformed, processed, and combined to help in real-time analytics. This SAP Data can queryData Services, resulting in a quick response depending on a pre-defined workflow as well as batch processing. Since one of the main functions of the software application SAP Data Services is to integrate and transform data, users can develop and execute workflows to extract SAP data from different sources. The SAP Extractor is a program in SAP ERP that can be triggered to extract SAP data for transferring to BW. It can be either a customized Da
