Siebel incremental backups to a non Siebel DB

I have data in an Oracle Siebel data base and I want to move the data to the Azure Cloud over a VPN.
Is it possible to copy the database and then apply daily snapshots until I am ready to take the new Azure application live.
This reduces the risk of relying on a single big migration on the cutover weekend.
The destination DB is not Siebel, I will have to put the data into an Azure DB.
Just gathering ideas at the moment

how to take backup of RPD and Catalog of OBIEE12c?

I would like to take backup of RPD (i.e., OBIEE12c metadata) and Catalog (i.e., save BI analytical reports, dashboard saved in both my folders and shared folders) in order to restore in the test server for the research purpose.
OBIEE12c Version: 12.2.1.4
Operating System: AIX 7.1
You may take backup of RPD and Catalog using exportarchive utility
Syntax:
[DOMAIN_HOME]/bitools/bin/exportarchive.sh ssi <Bar file name>.bar encryptionpassword=<password>
Example:
[DOMAIN_HOME]/bitools/bin/exporarchive.sh ssi /backupdir/obitest.bar encryptionpassword='Test123'

'Use Credential File' in oracle data integrator in data server what is it used for?

I want to explore Oracle data integrator , i am not able to understand what does 'Use credential File' option in Data server does in Oracle data integrator. If anyone can explain it would be helpful and i want to improve performance of my oracle data integrator script as well, any ideas on that as well.
Ok, now I think that I understood. You run ODI in Cloud.
You will need a credential File in order to connect to your database.
The way you obtain that credential file, is:
Credential files are downloaded from the ADW console to the ODI host in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Note: When ODI is deployed from the Marketplace, client credential folders are downloaded from autonomous databases that exist in the OCI compartment containing ODI.
If ADW is in a different compartment than ODI follow the steps below.
Download the Credentials
Connect to the ODI host using VNC. Refer to the Deployment blog above
for details.
Launch Firefox from the Applications>Favorites list.
Follow the steps in Downloading Autonomous Data Warehouse Credentials
to obtain the client credentials compressed folder containing the
wallet and network configuration files used by ODI to make the
connections.
The entire way of connecting is described here.

Login details to use Oracle BI publisher desktop

I have installed Oracle 10g database and Oracle 10g developer suite.
I am beginner to use Oracle BI publisher for making reports.
Today i have installed Oracle BI publisher desktop for making reports in ms-word 2007.
when i try to log on in BI Publisher option in ms-word. It ask for username, password & report server.
Should i need to installed the BI Publisher Server to fill up the report server details?
please advice.
Thanks.
Yes, you need to connect to a BI Publisher Server instance to create new reports unless you have a local XML file of sample data from the Server-side Data Model.
With the Template Builder Install you should have a good set of samples.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\samples\RTF templates\Balance Letter
This Tutorial from the Oracle Technology Network will move you along nicely working with the sample files noted above.

For real work you will need access to a fully installed BI EE environment then you can reach the BI Publisher component (XMLPSERVER)
Username: weblogic
Password: ((PASSWORD))
Report Server: http://NAME:PORT/xmlpserver
For a simple install of BI the URL could be:
http://192.168.56.101:7001/xmlpserver
Without a corresponding server you cannot pull in the data elements defined against the source.
This tutorial will show you much more about BIP.

Deploy Entity Framework Code First Database

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 application using an Entity Framework (4.3.1) Code First database. Now I would like to create a comprehensive zip file containing the database, the application package generated by Visual Studio 2010 and a script to deploy everything to a Windows 2008 server with IIS7 and SQL Server 2008 with a prepared (but empty) database.
I don't foresee any problems with the deployment of the application package, but I'm unsure of what approach to use in deploying the database. The target environment already has an empty database that's been assigned to me, but I've been told that dropping and creating the database is fine.
From what I've read, I can do a straightforward copy of the .mdf and .ldf files to the server and then setup my connection string to point to that specific file but this approach sort of ignores the database that has already been created (or at least named) for me. The other approach would be to use the the existing .mdf to create the database on the server with a script. My only issue here is that I would like to keep the database name assigned to me.
I usually connect to my development database locally using SQL Management Studio and right-click the database, choose Tasks -> Generate Scripts. Then I select the entire database or just the tables I'd like to keep, click next, then click the Advanced button and make sure that I am scripting out "Schema and Data", and then generate a sql script that I can run on the production database, therefore keeping the table structure and the data that was in the dev database. Obviously, if you don't want to keep the data then just script out the Schema only. Then, point your application's connection string to the new production environment database and you're good to go.
