+# 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
+

+
+## 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
+    ```
+

+    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
