Steps Before Executing the Conversion Tool

If you want to convert any Linc code you need to follow the next steps:

You need to copy the prn/ldl (the Linc exported code must be provided but the client) into the folder ldl: G:\ldl

Then you need to configure the file LincConverter.xml located in the folder: G:\config. This is the configuration file used by the conversion tool.

This file contains a lot of different configurations but the most common that you need to modify are explained in this section, and you can see the example of the last file used to run the conversion tool in the following code snippet. This files is configured using the latest version of the Oracle DB VM (the recovered one):

Originally the port used in the previous configurations was the 8085. Now we cannot access the database using that port so we use the 1521 port for the DB connection and we created a new property named repositoryPort configured with the port 8085 that is used to create the repositoryName property.

  • repository: is the data source of the database defined using the user, password, and the name of the Oracle instance.

  • port: is the database default port.

  • orainstance: name of the database instance

  • repositoryPort: This is the port used to connect to the Oracle XML Database Repository. The Linc conversion tool stores all the metadata in XML files using the Oracle XML repository.

  • repositoryName: name of the Oracle XML Database Repository.

  • execution.iteration: is the identifier for the migration execution. all the metadata stored in the repository has an iteration associated that's why you can execute the Linc conversion tool from one specific step and not necessarily execute all the migration.

  • target.iteration: Iteration identifier used to execute the migration. You can use a previous iteration to run the migration avoiding some steps.
