Friends,

We are planning to move from Jbase(4.1) to Oracle ,
we have around a million customer and million odd other transactions.
How complicated is the conversion process.

thanks
Deepak

The conversion process itself is very straight forward.
It is mostly a technical process that does not require any business changes.

HOWEVER, working with Oracle requires firstly more disk space & CPU than jBASE.
Secondly, after the conversion you will need quite a LOT of performance tuning.

i thought temenos has a tool which would automatically build the tables required in oracle based on your application data, converting everything to xml and populate the tables. finally, you'll need a temenos driver, which allows t24 to look inside the oracle to retrieve all the data and converting xml into the multivalued format that t24 understands.

Thanks for your responses, can anyone share the procedure to do the conversion

Very good to hear that. You can get plenty of guidance from the T24 user guides. And this process should be done with a trained T24 professional.

However please clarify from temenos to install the XDBORACLE driver instead of the usual XMLORACLE. The XDBORACLE driver stores t24 data in a structured way and can be queried using XDB queries.

Hello saahmad,

Can you please explain the difference between XMLORACLE and XDBORACLE?
What do you mean by the "data is structured" ?

Thank you.

xdbORACLE driver have a schema definition file for each entity and that data can be queried using oracle xpath queries.

in simple xmloracle the data is stored in a single field as simple xml without any schema and such data cannot be queried using xpath queries
