Preparing Oracle Database migration users for migration

Prepare your database migration users using either of the following methods:

  • Prepare your database migration users by running the database preparation script. (Recommended option).
  • Manually configure your Oracle database migration users by following the documentation and running the SQL commands.

Preparing your database migration users using the database preparation script:

To prepare your database users for migration:
  1. Navigate to the Create connection screen for the latest script.
  2. Download the database preparation script which is an SQL script file.
  3. Run the script locally.
The database preparation script:
  1. Will require a password for GGADMIN user.
  2. Analyze your database migration user for any missing required privileges.
  3. Performs the required operations on your database migration users to prepare them for the migration.

The script will prepare GGADMIN as the migration user. This is the only user accepted in the Assessment.

For scenarios earlier than Oracle Database 19c (19.23) with multitenant architecture where an online migration is required, C##GGADMIN will be prepared as well, the script needs to run on CDB$ROOT. These scenarios are only supported in the create migration option under the Migration menu.

Manually configuring your database and migration users for migration:
