| As stated in Technical Bulletin
351, released Sept. 30, 2004, ITS will be migrating
the shared Oracle database environments from the
mainframe and HP-UX platforms to dedicated LINUX
database servers.
The reasons are two fold:
- The migration will give Oracle customers
the most efficiency and functionality for the
price.
- LINUX is Oracle’s preferred platform.
ITS personnel have been providing dedicated database
environments on this platform for several months
and feel confident that this platform will provide
a dependable, robust environment for the shared
Oracle databases.
ITS is committed to working with each agency
to complete migrations in a timely manner. The
deadline for migrations from HP-UX is June 30,
2005. Mainframe migrations need to be completed
by December 31, 2005. Although the mainframe
and HP-UX Oracle databases will be supported
until the dates specified, only minimal database
upgrades will be implemented on these platforms
while the migration takes place.
Migration Information
ITS Database Administration is asking Oracle
customers to review the objects stored in the
mainframe and HP-UX databases and identify any
obsolete schemas and tablespaces.
To request that obsolete schemas and tablespaces
be removed or to have new schemas created on
LINUX servers please contact us at dbase@utah.gov.
Additional information is available as
part of a recent presentation
on The eDG . For all other questions please
call the ITS Database Group at (801) 538-3235.
