Two corrections to alpha_to_integrity.txt shipped with the 10.2.0.2 kit for OpenVMS are included here.

Correction 1.

For section 3.2.5 The ORATAB File

Changed:

$ TEMP = F$EXTRACT(0,F$LENGTH(TEMP)-1,TEMP)+F$GETSYI("NODENAME")+"]"

To:

$ TEMP = F$EXTRACT(0,F$LENGTH(TEMP)-1,TEMP)+"."+F$GETSYI("NODENAME")+"]"

Correction 2.

Additional steps near the end of section 5 to rename your datafiles prior to opening the database under the Integrity environment.

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on how to migrate an Oracle 10.2 database from the Alpha OpenVMS platform to Itanium OpenVMS platform. This note requires the Oracle database on Alpha OpenVMS to already be at release 10.2 . If your Oracle database is 10.1 or older, then use export/import or upgrade the database to 10.2 first.
