Import/ export of an object or item in portal 10g

Good Morning!

can anyone tell what is the format of import / export of an object or item in portal 10g?
 this is in the context of updating or rolling into production server an item whose earlier version might be sitting in the production server before. and it is based on the premise that the environment/ system is composed of more than one servers and production is only one of them.
 apologies ... if i am not even phrasing the question right. by format, what i mean to know is does it first delete the older component and then generate the new one or it renegades and keeps the older version and bring on the newer version, or what.

any hints will be appreciated.

Kasia,
There are a number of guides on the documentation tab for Oracle9iAS Portal that can answer your questions. Be sure to check out the FAQ!

How to find out import & export path for object migration between D Q & P?

Hi guys!
Is there a way, how to find out export and import path for object transport on XI?
Thanx!
Olian

Hi,
Have a look at these links.
When we do an export of the IR or the ID Oblects, a typical path at which it gets exported in the XI Server is as follow:
For IR Objects:
C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\export
For ID Objects:
"C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\export"
Now in case you need to import the ".tpz" that you have.... You need to place it in the path mentioned below and u will be able to do import it from IR or ID...
For IR Objects:
C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import
For ID Objects:
"C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\import"

Problem of Data Import/Export after migration of Oracle DB 9i to 10g

We have encountered the following problem after the migration of Oracle DB 9i to 10g R1 and ESRI ArcSDE 8.3 to 9.1.
In our development server, a view was created by joining of one feature class (point feature), two attribute tables and one F table. We have to perform a process to export all the features in that particular view from the development server and then import them to the production server. In total, there should be about 60,000 points.
Form our past experience (using Oracle DB 9i and ESRI ArcSDE 8.3); we spent about 15-20 minutes to complete the import-export procedure. However, after the system migration, the speed of the import-export procedures is extremely slow, which is talking about 2 hours for ONLY EXPORTING 5MB data.
We would like to seek advice in solving the above problems. THANKS!

Try to delete old stats, then gather new stats on the schema and try the export again.

XI 3.0 : Import/Export of IB: Design Objects via Filesystem

Failure: "You are not permitted to delete any objects since the software component cannot be changed"
Today I've tried out the import/export functionality of the integration builder design.
Therefor I've exported a whole SoftwareComponentVersion into a file and after that reimported it.
Everything works fully correct. But now, when i try to delete this SoftwarComponentVersion or any object within, i face the warning: "You are not permitted to delete any objects since the software component cannot be changed" and i am not able to delete it.
Have you any experience dealing this problem?
Thx for your answer!

Hi Friends,
I have try to do the same stuff but i could not see the objects imported into swcv.
I did as follows:
1. Imported swcv from sld.
2. created a namespace
4. created some design objects.
5. activated the changed list.
6. Exported the swcv in tpz file
7. removed all the objects from swcv.
8. imported the design objects from previously exported tpz file by copying it into the import folder at xiserver.
9. it says objects are successfully imported and i can see the file is transfered from import folder to importedFiles folder with timestamp suffix.
but i am still unable to see these objects into the swcv.
Where i have done mistake or should i need to do something more as i wanted to test this export/import feature having only one xiserver.

How to export & import interface type data object to memory

Hi experts,
My greetings to all.
we have came across a situation where we need to pass interface type data object to memory
and import same from memory.
DATA context TYPE REF TO if_timecontext.
its not possible with regular export statement.
is their any other way to do it?
Thanks in advanced,
Sudhir

Thank you saurabhmani & sandra.
@ saurabhmani : i tried assigning object context to memory (field-symbol) and exporting it to memory, but got runtime error.
@sandra : XML serialization & shared object concept sounds intresting but as you already checked that interface IF_TIMECONTEXT is missing the required IF_SERIALIZABLE_OBJECT interface.
Istead of exporting context data object to memory we tried different approch and it worked out for our requirement

How to export/Import default prefs and object styles with no project open?

I would like to export my preferences and object styles with no projects open and them import them on my team's machines so that no matter what project we create, we all start from the SAME set of defaults. When I open captivate and check both with no projects open, there is no ability to import/export. I know I could open a project and export, but then importing is an issue.
I'm using CP8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Help?
Thx.
Lori

After a fresh install I start by editing the Preferences globally, that means by using Edit, Preferences before opening any project (like switching to Expert UI, default language, replacing feedback captions by shapes). There is indeed no way to import preferences from a specific file. I will do the same for some object styles (like creating a blank Highlight box for audio objects). You can only export/import from and to a project, same like for all Library assets.
However the Object styles: they are part of the default theme, along with their theme colors, master slides and skin. You cannot edit everything without having a project open. I would recommend to create a custom theme in a project, in which you have all the wanted object styles. Changing the theme colors (you can have a custom theme color palette) will change partially colors of the objects. Once you set that theme as default theme, you'll have all the object styles in the projects that use the default theme.
To transfer Preferences, custom themes to another machine, maybe this article could help you out. It was written for a different purpose, but you'll find the location of a lot of files that you could transfer in this post:

PCO Alias, Subscription Item, Notification Import/Export

Hi experts,
Is there any easy way to import alias to PCO? I know there is xml import/export option.
But in UDS there was comma delimited text file import option. Is there any option in PCO alike in UDS? We have 800 tags for notification and it will be very difficult and painful to import them manually.
Thanks..

Hi,
Thank you for your quick help and answers. I've thought about this, i even tried. But i hoped there should be some standard option. But as i understood there isn't any option, except tag alias.
I dont want to change this thread status to solved. I want they see this and at least add such import properties to PCO for next versions. Because even XML import option is working very bad and difficult. e.g. if you have the same agent instances or destination channels etc., it is not overwriting well, it is giving error and so on. The xml file understandable but there are lots of data in it. We will need to code some programs for making such XML file...
Anyway thank you again...

Portal Import/Export Different OID Servers

We are trying to move our 9ias instances (portal) to another set of servers used for production with security. Both instances are associated with their
own OID/Infrastructures - they are not sharing the same infrastructure.
I reviewed Note:216572.1 Subject: Exporting/Importing in Oracle Portal 9.0.X, but it does not tell you the steps required to migrate the users/groups as well. I also looked at the Portal 9.0.2 Export/Import FAQ (http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_1120.HTM) , but neither tell you how to export the users. They only say to use the OID Tools. What tools?
Excerpt from FAQ:
How do I export/import objects (with security) between portals using different OID servers in 9.0.2?
A manual workaround is available:
1. Use OID utilities to migrate Users/Groups from source OID server to target OID server.
2. In Oracle9iAS Portl, migrate portal objects with "export security" enabled from source Portal to target Portal
3. (MANUAL) For the imported users, set the guid to null (WWSEC_PERSON$.GUID)
4. (MANUAL) For the imported groups, update the guid using the instructions found in the section below on how to update the GUID.
Please refer to th[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

To migrate users, groups, and security within Portal, you must have a common OID environment. The difference between all OID implementations is the RootDSE, (the part that starts with dc=..,dc=..., etc.
You have to extract the user base and portal groups (and any other unique objects and attributes) from the old OID environment and and use the extraction to create an ldif file that will add these to the new OID environment. The ldif must have its own RootDSE for all distinguished names (dn) and common names (cn) in the ldif file.
We basically created our OID migration solution around a Java applet that prompts for the OID IP address, OID HOST NAME, OID ADMIN USER, and OID ADMIN PASSWORD. It access the new OID environment and extracts the RootDSE, then builds the ldif file for import of groups, objects, and attributes. Our user ldif will do pretty much the same, once we have the user list from our customer.
The more complex issue revolved around the migration of external applications, which I address in my EXT_APP package, which enables you to build portlets containing links to external apps, while maintaining portability, as well as Item Level Security. YOu can find this in my Knowledge Exchange folder.
Quite a mouth full...sorry

Import/export question....

Hi..
I have a folder on one instance which have almost 20 joins with other folders.... when i export the folder and import it on another instance the joins are not imported...
can anyone tell what could be the problem?
Thanks.

Michael is correct, but it can get even more complex than that. If you have item classes and item hierarchies for the folder, and you are doing selected objects, you have to include those as well along with the folders that also are included in those definitions.
Rather than do export of selected objects, we choose the option to export selected business areas. Even with that you have to be careful. You don't want to share folders across business areas if you do things this way, as you can still run into import problems if you don't pick all the involved business areas (and trying to figure those out can be tough).
That would leave the other option to consider - export the whole EUL.
Just some things to think about.

Getting an error while importing/exporting the universe from my BO Designer

Hi,
   I am facing a issue while importing/exporting the universe from my BO Designer to the Server.The error is mentioned below.
   'File Repository Server Input is down'
   Once I click the OK button on this error message, it displays the message
   'Could not import the Universe'.
I tried the check the status of the File Repository Server (Ouput and Input) and also the of the Root Directory on the Physical Server and also my machine.They all have read-write access.
Installed Version of the Universe Designer Client: Business Object XI Release 2 SP3
Installed Version of the BO Enterprise Server: Business Object XI Release 2 SP2
Can you please help me to resolve the issue

Hi,
   The step you have mentioned may not be applicable to my issue as one of my colleagues can import/export the universe from the same server
The second thing is that a DB2 Client v9 is installed on both mine and my colleagues system.The Designer software can recognise the DB2 drivers on his system but it cannot recognise the same drivers on my system.I even checked the versions of the BO software installed on his and my system and they are same.
The only difference is that his machine is a Windows XP Machine and mine is a Network Desktop.
Will any of the above two things will affect the operation of the BO Designer.
Thanks

Regarding Workflow 2.6.2 backup/migration/import/export

hi folks. i m quite amazed that this forum does not provide any answer to the question of taking backup of workflow 2.6.2 or import/export of owf_mgr schema. if one cannot take backup how this oracle workflow is stable. how this product is suitable for any organization. its a very basic requirement. ok its about processes and states.... but, even then i cant get the logic of not taking a backup. sometime we have to move data across servers
the only answer that i have seen for this is way back jan-09-2003 that its not possible yet. its now 2006 any one who can guide may be i got something or many a things wrong.

hi folks,
thanks for reply
Matt: considering ur statment para what i get for para 1
Full backup is fine - although there are some objects which are owned by SYS, as long as youare going from one database with WF installed to another one, you should be OK.
is
what i understand that u are talking about taking backup of entire database and not of just owf_mgr from export utility. if this is the case then do i really need to have owf_mgr user/schema installed where i have to import that backup
Secondly for Para 2
Runtime data is a different thing altogether, although I can't really see why you would want to migrate the runtime data from one DB to another.
what i get from ur description of Runtime data here, is about the data that represents different process states relavant data which is stored and maintained in different tables. Am I Right?
if the answer is yes then the answer to ur question (asked in the last line of ur statment) is that i dont want only runtime data to be exported rather i wanna export full user and its schema. and the reason from moving it from one server to another server is simply to have backup for the time of system crash or failiure
I am keenly anticipating ur reply

Custom HTML importer/exporter, how to preserve HTML id, class, style

I need to implement a custom XHTML importer/exporter and CSSFormatResolver.
If I for example have a p-element: lorem ipsum
How do I map the HTML attributes: id, class and style in order to preserve them in the ParagraphElement in order to use them during the custom CSS cascade process and for custom HTML export purposes (the exporter needs to spit out lorem ipsum again.
1. is this mapping correct or will this interfere with internal TLF formatting:
HTML attribute
ParagraphElement property
id
id
class
styleName
style
userStyles
2. What is the purpose of FlowElement.coreStyles (where are those styles applied)?
3. What is the actual purpose of FlowElement.userStyles, are those styles just for non TLF (end developer custom) purposes or does TLF use them at any point to set the element format properties?
4. Any other pointers or related (non flex framwork) examples are welcome
Thanks.
Cheers, Benny

Your mapping looks correct to me for id and styleName.
I think what you are saying about style mapping to userStyles is correct. Yes userStyles is an object of key value pairs holding all the non-TLF styles for a FlowElement. coreStyles holds all the TLF styles for a FlowElement. TLF does use userStyles itself for the linkHoverFormat, linkActiveFormat and linkNormalFormat styles.
Setting FlowElement.userStyles TLF will replace the current set of userStyles with those in the supplied Object. That Object will be treated as a dictionary of stylenames and values.
Normally I'd expect you'd use the FlowElement.setStyle API which figures out if a particular style belongs to coreStyles or userStyles and then sets the new style appropriately without changing the others.

Reg: importing/exporting repositories problem

Hi all,
I done all the exports from development in below vice versa:
from topology:
export master repository
export topology
export logical topology
export execution environment
from security
export security settings
from designer
export work repository
all are in .zip file formats only.
i created 2 new schams in production db like impmaster for master repository and impwork for work repository
then next
i created one new login name example produtionmastr
1)after that i imported master repository from import master repository winzard.
2)it imported sucess fully i got all technologies,physical servers,physical schems,logical schemas,agents,contexts also.
3)next i tried to import topology,logical topology and execution environment it takes time but nothing will be impoted. (my quwstion is what is the reason for we
again import topology logical topology again,when the time import master repository only we are getting all the things in topology.then what is use for this options.)
4)next think i created one work repository in topology manager with different id from development
5)i created login name for work repository and i login to designer.
6) i imported work repository from zip file using synonym insert mode. imported success.
7)i changed all the physical paths in physical data servers. every thing fine.
8)but i am getting problem with agent.previously i am working with odi 10.1.3.
error is:

9)in 11g odi agent creation was totally different all configurations need to odiparams.bat.
10)my doubt can i need to update all the repository names in odiparams.bat file
11)or we can reuse the one agent to all repositories why because in 11g we are giving all reps names in odiparams.bat file.
please share your solutions
Regards,
Surya

3)next i tried to import topology,logical topology and execution environment it takes time but nothing will be imported. (my quwstion is what is the reason for we
again import topology logical topology again,when the time import master repository only we are getting all the things in topology.then what is use for this options.)
Ideally i would suggest when you are importing for the first time you can use the Import Master Repository wizard and from next time if any small changes has then import those individual ODI Object.
You don't have to repeats those individual import once the Master Repository Import is successful.
Reg Agent Error You can create an Agent manually in the your new Topology.
I believe you have upgraded from 10g to 11g . In that case all your Master Rep url and credentials might change and so the old odiparams might not work .Please update odiparams accordingly.

Using XML Import/Export in Transport Connection

Hi, I was investigating the feasibility of copying a query definition from one BW system to another using the XML Import/Export functionality in Transport Connection. This is not to replace our current transport process across the landscape (Dev -> QA -> Prod), but merely just looking at possibilities for end users who develop queries in QA & then recreate them in Prod.
My question is: has anyone worked with the XML Export/Import for types Queries & Query Elements? I was trying this out between a Dev and Sandbox system and only had limited success. I was able to take a small query and perform the Export to a local .xml file without much difficulty. But when I try to do the Import, my query never shows up. The Import function shows a green light, but I get a couple of error messages on the Import such as the following:
==========================================================
SAP object 3WROG4HZ3NKP1PIYHCR1H24CQ () cannot be imported
Diagnosis
You attempted to import SAP object 3WROG4HZ3NKP1PIYHCR1H24CQ of type into the system via the XMI interface. However, you are not allowed to import SAP objects.
System response
The object was ignored during the import.
Note: It can be that the import is incomplete when the required SAP objects are still not active in the system.
Procedure
Install the specified objects from Business Content. Only import the metadata afterwards.
=========================================================
The portion returned for Saving and Activating returns green lights. The two sample objects mentioned appear to just be custom InfoObjects used in my query & don't look to be any different than others that work OK.
Just curious if anyone else has worked with this and could help advise.
Thanks... Jody

This is an old subject, but I think XML import only works for datamodeling objects like InfoObjects, InfoCubes, and ODS objects. If you try to export a query, and open the XML file in a text editor, there is not enough information (in my opinion) to build the query. As an example you don't see how key figures are to be displayed, filter or free characteristics.
However, when an InfoObject is collected, you get all the attributes, texts in all languages.
If anyone has more insight, please enlighten us.
