Barbara - Another thought for you. Avoid migration. Unless the database is
incredibly large and your downtime window is impossibly small. Create a
fresh 9i instance, and export/import the data. That is my preference. Either
way, be sure to test your process beforehand.

Howdy, list.
For those of you who migrated a database from 8i to
9i, did you move convert to undo tablespace
immediately?  Did you run for awhile still using
rollback segments then convert later?  Any gotcha's?

I cannot find a concise doc on how to change over. 
(I'm using notes from Kirti's excellent RMOUG
presentation on "Understanding Automatic Undo.." but
I've already forgotten stuff.)

Here are the steps I know.  What I do not know is when
to remove my rollback segments.  If I add the undo
params to init then bounce the db, can I then offline
the rbs segs and tablespace after I come back up?  Or
do I offline them before I bounce the db?

Anyone know of a doc that outlines this stuff?
Thanks for any help.

(here's what I think I need to do)

    Changing Rollback Segments to Undo

set compatible 9.0.0 in init  (currently 8.1.7.4)

create undo tablespace
   create undo tablespace undotbs1
   datafile '/class17db/u01/undotbs1.dbf' 
   size 500m;

insert init parameters
        undo_management=AUTO
        undo_retention=10800
        undo_tablespace=UNDOTBS1
        undo_suppress_errors=TRUE

shut down and restart database
