Backup for OracleAS Portal - oracle

I am new to Oracle and I've developed an Oracle Portal using OracleAS Portal 10g release 2 (10.1.4). I need to move the application on another computer, and I was thinking of copying it on a CD but no matter I've tried I wasn't able to find the portal pages, nor the images or documents that I've included.
Can anybody help me please?
Thank you!

I think I've found an answer: I made a transport set. Transport sets are documented in the Portal Administrator's guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b19305/cg_imex.htm#i1030999.

Oracle Cloud ATP database missing from cloud account

when i tried accessing one of my APEX applications I developed on oracle cloud.
I get this error
The database service named: |ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaacwex5sqkhi7kwsb5s664n6brmhrjvhhsxduw35l2rzahhsa7pyaa-tmohammedb|re| does not exist
And When I logged into my Oracle Cloud account, to my dismay, My oracle ATP database is not more available. I didn't get notification either from Oracle support.
Under My resources the database is listed as stopped.
But when i Click on it it shows "Error retrieving values"
Can anyone help me with recovering the database.
Regards
Looking into this, I came across a thread you created via Cloud Customer Connect where your question was answered. I'd recommend reviewing and following up there - https://cloudcustomerconnect.oracle.com/posts/44c1ada213
TLDR - your database environment is up and running .. but it will go away for sure since you are not using the free tier database. You should get your data out of that system, it will go away. Please give this the appropriate priority

OBIEE RPD reusability in OAS and OAC

May I know if RPD developed for OBIEE is reusable in OAC (Oracle Analytics Cloud) and OAS (Oracle Analytics Server) without any glitch or change? I was told by some experts that it is reusable , however wanted to cross validate if there is some required change or condition to be able to reuse.
Thanks
"Yee-ish". Depends on which version you're coming from and how badly things were done in the legacy version. I just gave a webinar on the subject:
Edit: Oracle doesn't allow direct linking, sorry.
First, go to the hub: https://go.oracle.com/analyticscommunity
From there search for "OAS Upgrade" or use the direct link. It will work whne you have a valid cookie.

Adding to above, we recently migrated from OBIEE12214 to OAS and there were only a few issues in Migration. About RPD there was no issue we were able to use it just like that. Notice Repository Versions between the OAS and OBIEE12214 They are the same 356!
A tip when you do the BAR file migration from 12214 in the RPD the username and password for the connection pools are lost. Best advise is open the 12C rpd and save it using OAS Admintool and then upload it to OAS.

How to move OCI-classic to OCI

I have been using OCI-classic. And I'd like to move OCI-classic to OCI.
So I'd be greatly appreciated if you could tell me about below.
Support limitation of OCI-classic
Sample of migration from OCI-classic to OCI
If you can do, tell me the URL too.
Thanks.
There are different migration tools responsible for this, but at the same time, there are considerations you should make before migration to OCI, what kind of services you will migrate, compute,storage, and other services. It would help if you mapped before doing anything.
I highly recommended reading this documentation from Oracle to take a brief about the migration here
OCI-classic is a single tenant offering from Oracle Cloud with limited support. With the multitenant cloud premise available on OCI, it is best to move to OCI . There are lots of interconnected services on OCI which can help lift and shift but it also needs oracle devops help. I would suggest to reach out to Oracle support using SR and they can guide further based on your environment.

Connecting Power BI to ORacle? Filling out TNSNames.ORa

We are using Oracle cloud CRM. Our organization has been using it since quite few years and the people who set it up have already left. I am new here and am trying to connect the CRM data to Power BI. I intalled the ODAC drivers and everything. However, I do not know what to enter in my tnsnames.ora file. That file has asked for service name, server name and hostID/name. No one in the organization has this information. I reached out to Oracle support and here is the response they gave:
Oracle’s response to the service request: “These details are not found in Documentation because they cannot be provided. You'll need to reach out to Power BI support to see if there are alternate ways to create this integration without these details.”
Does anyone know why Oracle would not share these details with us? If there is any other way to find out the server and service name? How should I proceed in such scenarios.
As of now, we use a link to login to the service and we do not have much documentation
Let me attempt to translate.
We are using Oracle cloud CRM
Oracle is hosting our application.
I am new here and am trying to connect the CRM data to Power BI
We want to query the database being used to store our application data.
Oracle’s response to the service request: “These details are not found in Documentation because they cannot be provided..."
This is where it gets fun, they are saying - we do not give clients direct access to the database where their data is hosted. So in other words, you CANNOT connect your tool directly to the database.
So, I think you're best bet, is to look into REST APIs that have been published for you as a subscriber to the service. This is often provided in lieu of providing direct access to your hosted environment.
Your other bet is to contact someone in your organisation that has the oracle connections in a file which you could load SQL Developer by Oracle, and explore the connections there. Most likely this will be a data engineer or IT contact in your organisation who will have this information. Once you have the connection info visible, you can then enter this directly in Power BI after creating an Oracle connection.

No Microsoft Access driver in Mac OS X ColdFusion 9 Developer Edition - can’t create a datasource for Access

I have CF9 Developer Edition installed on Mac OS X 10.6. I have set up datasources successfully to the localhosts MySQL. However, I have taken on a website which uses a Microsoft Access database: fine on the actual server, but to work on the site offline I need to set up the datasource to talk to the Access database.
For some reason, there is no Microsoft Access option in the Add Driver list when setting up a new datasource in the CF admin.
Any ideas on what I need to do would be most helpful.
There is no mac driver for Access available.
You can upconvert your database to the free edition of SQL Server. It's probably a good idea to convince your customer to migrate from Access to SQL Server anyways.
Whilst I'd very much second the comments above regarding getting off of Access if you can, there does appear to be a couple of type-4 (pure java) JDBC access drivers (although I've not used them)
http://www.hxtt.com/access.html
This article links to two drivers. Neither are free but both have evaluation periods on them which may get you through what you need to do.
http://www.razorsql.com/articles/ms_access_mac_os_x.html
You should be able to use these as custom JDBC datasources in ColdFusion.
let us know if you have any success.
There's proprietary read-only driver available.
