Well, first you need both adapters. Then you can TABLE from SQL Server and HOLD FORMAT SQLORA or use MAINTAIN or optionally MODIFY to load Oracle.

Or if you have ETL (Data Management Console) you can use that.

As a developer here is what I do. After configuring both adapters I make a copy of the both the master file (.mas) and the access file (.acx) then I manually change the SUFFIX in the master file from SQLMSS to SQLORA. Then I change the acx file to point to the oracle connection and not the sql server connectn. and also change the TABLENAME to point to the correct schema in oracle. after I have done that I issue a CREATE FILE xxxx command to create the table in oracle. I then use a combination of table file and modify file to copy the data from SQL Server to Oraqcle.

Hope this helps

Thank you all of you
Ginny - Just like you said , I tried the following example it did work. "TEST" is hold file of my oracle table . But Currenlty we have two oracle database one is production and another one is test. Currently this code is putting into my production. But i want the hold oracle in "Test" environment . is it possible can I put the hold oracle file in "Test" environent. Do i have to write the oracle connection somewhere in the code to point to "Test" environment.

TABLE FILE SQLSERVERTABLENAME
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEST FORMAT SQLORA
END

Yes, you can put in right in front of the code you have in your post.
