+# MongoDB to Oracle Database 23ai Migration
+
+**Summary:** Contained herein is a  bash script for demonstrating and managing MongoDB to Oracle Database migration in a containerized environment. The `orclMongoMigration.sh` script provides a full-featured environment for demonstrating how to migrate data from MongoDB to Oracle Database. It handles container management, database setup, MongoDB configuration, and the complete migration process in an interactive, user-friendly way.
+
+## Key Features
+
+**Container Management:**
+* Start/stop Oracle Database containers
+* Automatic configuration and environment setup
+* Interactive menu system with color-coded output
+* Comprehensive command-line interface for automation
+* File transfer between host and container
+* Volume and resource management
+
+**Database Setup and Access:**
+* Automatic Oracle Database configuration
+* Multiple SQL*Plus access modes (nolog, user, SYSDBA)
+* ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services) setup and management
+* MongoDB initialization and configuration
+* MongoDB API compatibility for Oracle
+
+**MongoDB and Migration:**
+* MongoDB instance setup and configuration
+* MongoDB shell access via mongosh
+* Oracle Database MongoDB API connectivity
+* Complete data migration workflow from MongoDB to Oracle
+* Sample data generation and import
+* Interactive migration process with step-by-step guidance
+Demo Application
+* Registration demo app deployment
+* Sample data generation with geographic features
+* Data visualization and testing
+
+## Prerequisites
+* Podman installed (script can install it if not present)
+* macOS or Linux operating system
+* Internet connection
+* 8GB+ RAM recommended for running the Oracle Database container
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Download the script
+
+    ```bash
+    wget https://github.com/oracle-devrel/devo.tutorials/blob/mongo-2-oracle-migration/mongo-2-oracle/src/orclMongoMigration.sh
+    ```
+
+2. Change permissions to make the script executable
+
+    ```bash
+    chmod +x orclMongoMigration.sh
+    ```
+
+3. Set the global variables within the script file.
+
+    >NOTE: See [the step by step guide](step-by-step-guide.md) for details on setting global variables.
+
+4. Run the script without arguments to display a user-friendly menu with the following sections:
+
+    ```bash
+    ./orclMongoMigration.sh
+    ```
+
+    * **Container Management:** - Start/stop Oracle container - Bash and root access - Install utilities and manage volumes - Copy files in and out
+    * **Database Access & Utilities:** - SQL*Plus connections (nolog, user, SYSDBA) - ORDS setup and management - MongoDB API connectivity
+    * **MongoDB Operations:** - Start MongoDB instance - mongosh to ORDS or MongoDB
+    * **Application & Migration:** - Run registration demo app - Add demo data - Migrate data from MongoDB to Oracle
+
+5. For a comprehensive walkthru, please visit the [step-by-step guide](step-by-step-guide.md).
+
+## Available Commandline Arguments
+
+* Container Management:
+
+    ```bash
+    start     - Start Oracle container
+    stop      - Stop Oracle container
+    restart   - Restart Oracle container
+    bash      - Bash access to container
+    root      - Root access to container
+    remove    - Remove Oracle container
+    utils     - Install utilities
+    copyin    - Copy file into container
+    copyout   - Copy file out of container
+    clean     - Clean unused volumes
+    ```
+
+* Database Access:
+
+    ```bash
+    sqlnolog  - SQL*Plus nolog connection
+    sqluser   - SQL*Plus user connection
+    sqlsys    - SQL*Plus SYSDBA connection
+    setupords - Setup ORDS
+    ords      - Start ORDS service
+    mongoapi  - Check MongoDB API connection
+    ```
+
+* MongoDB Commands:
+
+    ```bash
+    mongodb   - Start MongoDB instance
+    mongoords - Connect to MongoDB via ORDS
+    mongo     - Connect to MongoDB directly
+    ```
+
+* Application Commands:
+
+    ```bash
+    demoapp   - Run Registration Demo App
+    demodata  - Add demo data
+    migrate   - Migrate data
+    help      - Show help message
+    ```
+
+## Migration Workflow Example
+Here’s a typical workflow for demonstrating MongoDB to Oracle migration:
+1.	Start the container:
+
+    ```bash
+ 	./orclMongoMigration.sh start
+    ```
+2.	Start MongoDB instance:
+    ```bash
+ 	./orclMongoMigration.sh mongodb
+    ```
+3.	Generate demo data:
+    ```bash
+ 	./orclMongoMigration.sh demodata
+    ```
+4.	Perform the migration:
+    ```bash
+ 	./orclMongoMigration.sh migrate
+    ```
+5.	Verify the migrated data in Oracle: (The script will offer to connect you to SQL*Plus after migration)
+
+## Container Details
+* **Image:** Oracle Database Free (container-registry.oracle.com/database/free)
+* **Default Credentials:**
+* SYS/SYSTEM password: Oradoc_db1
+* Created user: matt with password matt
+* **Exposed Ports:**
+* 1521: Oracle Database listener
+* 3000: Node.js demonstration app
+* 5500: Enterprise Manager Express
+* 8080/8443: ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services)
+* 27017: MongoDB API compatibility
+* 23456: MongoDB native port
+
+## Troubleshooting
+* If the Oracle container fails to start, try running ./orclMongoMigration.sh clean to remove unused volumes
+* For migration issues, check that both MongoDB and ORDS are running
+* If demo data generation fails, ensure Python libraries are installed correctly
+* Check container logs for Oracle Database startup issues

+# MongoDB-2-Oracle Migration: Step-by-step runbook
+
+This detailed runbook will guide you through the process of using the `orclMongoMigration.sh` script to demonstrate migrating data from MongoDB to Oracle Database.
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+Before you begin, ensure your system meets these requirements:
+* **Operating System**: macOS or Linux
+* **Hardware**:
+    * At least 8GB RAM (16GB recommended)
+    * At least 20GB free disk space
+* **Internet Connection**: Required for downloading container images and dependencies
+* **Terminal Access**: You’ll be working in the command line
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Step 1: Make the Script Executable
+1.	Open your terminal application
+2.	Navigate to the directory containing the script:
+
+    ```bash
+ 	cd </path/to/script/directory>
+    ```
+3.	Make the script executable:
+
+    ```bash
+ 	chmod +x orclMongoMigration.sh
+    ```
+### Step 2: Understanding the Script’s Interface and global variables
+There are two ways to interact with the script:
+1.	**Interactive Menu**: Run the script without arguments
+2.	**Command Line Arguments**: Run specific commands directly
+
+    >NOTE: For this runbook, we’ll primarily use the interactive menu for clarity, with command examples where helpful.
+
+3. Before running the script, it is important to update the global variables to match your environment. Edit the following items:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Global variables
+    ORACLE_USER="<your user in quotes>"
+    ORACLE_PASS="<your password in quotes>"
+    ORACLE_SYS_PASS="<oracle SYS password in quotes>"
+    ORACLE_CONTAINER="<name for your container in quotes>"
+    ORACLE_PDB="FREEPDB1"
+    NETWORK_NAME="demonet" #set network
+    // Do not change the settings below this line
+    CONTAINER_PORT_MAP="-p 1521:1521 -p 3000:3000 -p 5902:5902 -p 5500:5500 -p 8000:8000 -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -p 27017:27017 -p 23456:23456"
+    MAX_INVALID=3
+    INVALID_COUNT=0
+    ```
+
+4. Save the script and mvoe to the next step.
+
+## Container Management
+
+### Step 3: Starting the Oracle Container
+1.	Run the script without arguments to access the menu:
+
+    ```bash
+ 	./orclMongoMigration.sh
+    ```
+
+2.	You’ll see a color-coded menu with several sections
+3.	Press 1 to start the Oracle container
+4.	If Podman is not installed, the script will offer to install it for you:
+    * Type y and press Enter if prompted to install Podman
+    * The script will install Homebrew (if needed) and then Podman
+    * This process may take several minutes
+5.	Choose the Oracle Database version:
+    * Type 2 and press Enter to select the Full Version (required for MongoDB API)
+6.	The script will download and start the Oracle container:
+    * This is a large download (several GB) and may take time depending on your internet connection
+    * Be patient during the initial download
+    * After downloading, the container will initialize (this takes several minutes)
+7.	The script will automatically install utilities in the container:
+    * Various Linux utilities
+    * Python 3.12
+    * Node.js
+    * MongoDB tools
+    * ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services)
+8.	When complete, you’ll see a list of mapped ports and a success message
+9.	Press Enter to return to the main menu
+
+### Step 4: Checking Container Status
+1.	You can verify the container is running with option 3 (Bash access)
+2.	This will open a shell inside the container
+3.	Type exit to return to the script menu
+
+## Database Setup
+
+### Step 5: Setting Up ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services)
+1.	From the main menu, press 14 to set up ORDS
+2.	The script will:
+    * Create necessary users
+    * Configure database settings
+    * Enable the MongoDB API
+    * Start the ORDS service
+3.	Wait for the “ORDS setup complete!” message
+4.	Press Enter to return to the main menu
+
+### Step 6: Starting MongoDB
+1.	From the main menu, press 17 to start MongoDB instance
+2.	The script will:
+    * Install MongoDB if needed
+    * Configure MongoDB to listen on port 23456
+    * Start the MongoDB service
+3.	Wait for the “MongoDB started successfully” message
+4.	Press Enter to return to the main menu
+
+## Working with MongoDB
+
+### Step 7: Connecting to MongoDB
+1.	From the main menu, press 19 to connect to MongoDB directly
+2.	This will open the MongoDB shell (mongosh)
+3.	Try some basic MongoDB commands:
+
+    ```bash
+ 	// Show databases
+    show dbs
+
+    // Create a new database
+    use testdb
+
+    // Create a collection and insert a document
+    db.testcollection.insertOne({ name: "Test User", email: "test@example.com" })
+
+    // Query the collection
+    db.testcollection.find()
+    ```
+
+4.	Type exit to exit the MongoDB shell and return to the script menu
+
+## Running the Demo Application
+
+### Step 8: Getting the Demo Application
+1.	From the main menu, press 20 to run the Registration Demo App
+2.	The script will:
+    * Clone the application repository if needed
+    * Install Node.js dependencies
+    * Prompt the user as to what datastore to use for the application
+        * 1 will use MongoDB
+        * 2 will use the Oracle Database API for MongoDB
+        * 3 will use Autonomous JSON database (still in development)
+    * Start the application on port 3000
+3.	Access the application in your web browser at:
+ 	http://localhost:3000
+4.	The demo application allows you to register users
+5.	Press Ctrl+C in your terminal to stop the application and return to the script
+
+### Step 9: Adding Demo Data
+1.	From the main menu, press 21 to add demo data
+2.	The script will:
+    * Install required Python libraries
+    * Set up the geodata directory
+    * Download necessary shapefiles
+    * Start an interactive session to run the data generation script
+3.	When prompted:
+    * Enter 10 for the number of fake records
+    * Enter 3 for “No images” option (simpler)
+4.	The script will generate fake data with geospatial coordinates within the shapefiles
+5.	Press Enter to return to the main menu
+
+## Data Migration Process
+
+### Step 10: Migrating Data from MongoDB to Oracle
+1.	From the main menu, press 22 to start the migration process
+2.	Read the migration information displayed
+3.	Press Enter to start the interactive migration tool
+4.	In the migration tool menu:
+    * Choose option 3 for “Both Export & Import”
+5.	For MongoDB export (source) settings:
+    * Enter localhost:23456/test as your MongoDB endpoint
+    * Leave the authentication fields blank (press Enter)
+    * Type no for SSL/TLS connection
+    * Press Enter to export all collections (or specify a collection)
+    * Press Enter to use default parallel collections
+    * Enter /tmp/moveit as the export location
+6.	For Oracle MongoDB API (target) settings:
+    * Enter matt as the username
+    * Enter matt as the password
+    * Enter localhost as the hostname
+    * Enter matt as the schema name
+    * Enter /tmp/moveit as the import location
+7.	The script will:
+    * Export data from MongoDB to files
+    * Import data into Oracle Database via the MongoDB API
+    * Show progress in real-time
+8.	When the migration completes, you’ll be asked if you want to verify the migration
+    * Type y and press Enter to open SQL*Plus for verification
+9.	In SQL*Plus, run verification commands:
+
+    ```bash
+ 	-- List tables
+    SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;
+
+    -- Count records in the migrated collection
+    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM testcollection;
+
+    -- View sample data
+    SELECT * FROM testcollection WHERE ROWNUM <= 5;
+
+    -- Exit SQL*Plus
+    EXIT
+    ```
+
+10.	Press Enter to return to the main 
+
+## Verification and Troubleshooting
+
+### Step 11: Checking MongoDB API Connection
+1.	From the main menu, press 16 to check MongoDB API connection
+2.	The script will:
+    * Create a test collection
+    * Insert a test document
+    * Read back the test document
+3.	If successful, you’ll see the test document data displayed
+4.	Press Enter to return to the main menu
+
+## Step 12: Connecting to Oracle via MongoDB API
+1.	From the main menu, press 18 to connect to Oracle via MongoDB API (mongosh ORDS)
+2.	This opens a MongoDB shell connected to Oracle’s MongoDB API
+3.	Try some commands:
+ 	
+    ```bash
+    // Show collections
+    show collections
+
+    // Query the migrated collection
+    db.testcollection.find()
+
+    // Create a new collection in Oracle via MongoDB API
+    db.newcollection.insertOne({ name: "Oracle API Test", value: 42 })
+
+    // Verify it was created
+    db.newcollection.find()
+    ```
+
+4.	Type exit to exit the shell and return to the script menu
+
+## Shutting Down
+
+### Step 13: Stopping the Container
+1.	From the main menu, press 2 to stop the Oracle container
+2.	The script will stop all running Oracle containers
+3.	Press Enter to return to the main menu
+4.	Press 10 to exit the script
+
+## Command Reference
