Archiving contents using 'Self Export/Import'

Hi,
We are trying to just archive the documents uploaded to the content server to specific place in the same server (not using migrating functionality).
Is it possible to handle this case using “Self Export/Import” functionality?
Or can we use "Content Tracker -> Reduce data" option?
can you explain us how to do this task.
Thank you

Consider Disk space and or where your Archives directory is located.
Sometimes people set up their Vault and Weblayout directories to be on the shared disk and forget to move the Archives directory to a shared location with lots of space. If it is not moved it is in the same file structure as the core CS files and the disk space allotted there may not be big (in some customer cases) and filling that disk may stop your server.
Just a consideration.

System copy using R3load ( Export / Import )

Hi,
We are testing System copy using R3load ( Export / Import ) using our production data.
Environment : 46C / Oracle.
while executing export, it takes more than 20 hours, for the data to get exported, we want to reduce the export time drastically. hence, we want to achieve it by scrutinizing the input parameters.
during export, there is a parameter by name splitting the *.STR and *.EXT files for R3load.
the default input for the above parameter is No, do not split STR and EXT files.
My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
Best Regards
L Raghunahth

Hi
The time of the export depends on the size of your database (and the size of your biggest tables) and your hardware capacity.
My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
In case you have a few very large tables, and you have multiple cpu's and a decent disk storage, then splitting might significantly reduce the export time.
My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
As you did not tell us about your database size and hardware details there is no way to give you anything but very basic metrics. Did you specify a parallel degree at all, was your hardware idling for 20 hrs or fully loaded already?
20 hrs for a 100gb database is very slow. It is reasonable (rather fast in my opinion) for a 2tb database.
Best regards, Michael

Client Copy Using Client Export/Import

Hi Everyone,
This is regarding Client Copy Using Client Export/Import Method. We have two system Production and Development system. Iam planning to do a client copy from from PRD to DEV. I know most of the steps to perform Client Copy.I have some doubhts So if some one can please help me out i would really appreciate it.
!) I want to know which user should be used to perfrom Client Export ?
2) I want to know know which user to be used to perform Client delete?
3) Is there any particular USER who is recommended to perform Client Copy or any USER can do it?
4) After the Client Delete Procedure thorugh SCC5 ..to get back the client space we do Reorganization ? can anyone plzz tell me what are the tables that i need to reorganize or if anyone can provide me the steps for Reorganization i would be really thankful.
Waiting For your Replies
Best Regards

Hi Mohammed,
1)I want to know which user should be used to perfrom Client Export ?
You can use your personal defined on the system UserID.
2) I want to know know which user to be used to perform Client delete?
Same as above, just make sure you have an account on the client and you log on to the right client
3) Is there any particular USER who is recommended to perform Client Copy or any USER can do it?
I am not aware that you should use a particular user. I have been doing copies/deletions with my UserID, as system administrator.
4) After the Client Delete Procedure thorugh SCC5 ..to get back the client space we do Reorganization ? can anyone plzz tell me what are the tables that i need to reorganize or if anyone can provide me the steps for Reorganization i would be really thankful.
Reorganization ( I personally) use SAPDBA tool. However -if you use ORACLE, there are other alternatives as well. What is your DB vendor? I will append more info in a bit.

Possible to use stsadm export / import to copy subsite to the same site with diff subsite name?

In the same site is that possible to use stsadm export/import to copy subsite to a new diff subsite name?
I do not want to use the SaveAs Template method, I need command mode.

You should create an empty site.
Go to your site collection and click siteactions --> new site --> Select custom template, click create.
Here you choose meeting2 as Title/url
Now execute your import command (Import-SPWeb http://vee:111/meeting2 -Path
C:\temp\meeting_exp.cmp -UpdateVersions -Overwrite)
Now wait, when the import is finished, check your site!
That should do it.

Portal content Transport Packages Export/Import Question.

Hi,everyone:
I have a problem when Export packages of portal content,the epa-file is correct on the server however become error after download from the server to localhost.
The bug is Function of Download itself,if anyone have meet this case and help me. I need your help!
Regard!
Fish

Hi Ree,
As I mentioned in my previous reply it is working perfectly for me. The import is creating the required files in the PCD.
Let me explain how it is done.
Create a TP
Create a folder and add the required files(Workset,pages, iviews etc) to the the folder.
add the folder with all the contents(select 'Add all objects to transport package' from the content menu) to the TP.
Export the TP. give a name of your choice(removing the numbers)
Download it to the local machine using the dowmload link.
the file will be saved as a <i>TPName</i>.epa in your local drive.
in import, select 'client' for Source for Package Files.
brose and select the <i>TPName</i>.epa file.
upload the file, and you can see the contents.
then import it to the new environment. Now the complete folder stucture will be created in the PCD exactly as you created it for the TP.
I hope you are doing like this. It should work
Are yo able to open the downloaded file with WinZip?
cheers

Export/Import Process in the UI for Variations Content Translation is Generating CMP Files with No XML

We have a SharePoint 2010 Publishing Website that uses variations to deliver contain to multiple languages. We are using a third-party translation company to translate publishing pages. The pages are
exported using the export/import using the UI process described here: "http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2011/12/02/sharepoint-variations-the-complete-guide-part-16-translation-support.aspx".
Certain sub-sites are extremely content-intensive. They may contain many items in the Pages library as well as lists and other sub-sites.
For some sub-sites (not all), the exported CMP file contains no XML files. There should be a Manifest.XML, Requirements.XML, ExportSettings.XML, etc., but there are none. After renaming the CMP file
to CAB and extracting it, the only files it contains are DAT files.
The only difference I can see between the sub-sites that generate CMP files with no XML files is size. For example, there is one site that is 114 MB that produces a CMP file with no XML files. Small
sites do not have this problem. If size is the problem, then I would think the process would generate an error instead of creating a single CMP file that contains only DAT files. However, I do not know exactly what the Export/Import Process in the UI is doing.
This leads to two questions:
1.
Does anyone know why some CMP files, when renamed to *.CAB and extracted, would not contain the necessary XML files?
2. Second, if exporting using the UI will not work, can I use PowerShell? I have tried the Export-SPWeb, but the Manifest.XML does not contain translatable
content. I have not found any parameters that I can use with Export-SPWeb to cause the exported CMP to be in the same format as the one produced by the Export/Import process in the UI.
As a next step, we could try developing custom code using the Publishing Service, but before doing this, I would like to understand why the Export/Import process in the UI generates a CMP that
contains no XML files.
If no one can answer this question, I would appreciate just some general help on understanding exactly what is happening with the Export/Import Process -- that is, the one that runs when you select
the export or import option in the Site Manager drop down. Understanding what it is actually doing will help us troubleshoot why there are no XML files in certain export CMPs and assist with determining an alternate approach.
Thanks in advance
Kim Ryan, SharePoint Consultant kim.ryan@[no spam]pa-tech.com

I wanted to bump this post to see about getting some more responses to your problem. I'm running into the same problem as well. We're running a SharePoint 2010 site and are looking at adding variations now. The two subsites with the most content take a
while to generate the .cmp file (one to two minutes of the browser loading bar spinning waiting on the file). Both files are generated with a lot of .dat files but no .xml files. I was thinking like you that it must be a size issue. Not sure though. Did you
ever happen to find a solution to this problem?

How to use lodercli for export import

Hello,
I want to migrate my content server data , that is on SAPDB version 7.3 (32 bit) to new server with MAX DB 7.6. (64 bit) .
I wanted to know:
1) how to do export an d import using lodercli. i wanted to use loder of my new server i.e. MAXDB loder to do the export immport. Can any one tell me the steps and the command to do this ?
2) I have refered SAP note 962019, but need some more help on the steps that is given in this note for hetrageneous copy.
Note : i dont have any SAP system on the server i have only content server and hence i dont have user SAPR3 on database.
Regards,
Bhavesh

> Please check the following (point 7) in note 962019:
Ok...
> 7. The procedure described in this note supports the following migrations:
> and I am dealing with the same situation hence choose the export import rather than normal backup recovery.
Well. it says: the procedure supports these migrations, which is true.
It does not say: "please do use the export/import migration in these situations".
Please do read the note point 1 where it says;
"Homogeneous system copies (backup/recovery) can be executed only in
systems that fulfill the following conditions:
a) The database versions in the source system and the target system
do not differ.
b) The processor uses the same byte sorting sequence (Little Endian
-> Little Endian; Big Endian -> Big Endian).
*If the specified operating system prerequisites are met in the
source and target system, you MUST use the homogeneous system copy
and not the heterogeneous system copy.*"
So in your case export import is not even supported!
> 2) I know the Cs 6.10 is out of support and it need to upgrade to new CS version that is 6.4 , but if i am already installing the new server for content server with CS 6.4 and MAXDB 7.6 why then why cant i use the export import from older server to new server??
> Other wise i need to upgrade the MAXDB then upgrade CS and then take the backup and restore, isnt it more logivcal to do export import using loder as we have all prerequisites available??
1. you don't meet the prerquesites (see above) - you can use backup/restore, so you have to !
2. export/import is a terribly slow and clumsy procedure
3. backup/restore is a easy, safe and fast method to perform the system copy
If you still really, really want to stick with export/import, feel free to try it out.
The note contain all required steps and the documentation for MaxDB even includes tutorials for the loader.

Lars

Using set/get parameters or export/import in BSP.

Hi All,
Is it possible to use set/get or export/import in BSP?
We need to set/export some variables from a BADI and get/ import them in the BSP application.
Code snippet will be of great help..
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hi Anubhav,
You can use the Export / Import statements for your requirement,
from the BADI use EXPORT to send the variable data to a unique memory location
with IDs
e.g.
*data declaration required for background processing
      DATA: WA_INDX TYPE INDX.
**here CNAME is the variable you want to export
EXPORT PNAME = CNAME TO DATABASE INDX(XY) FROM WA_INDX CLIENT
            SY-MANDT ID 'ZVAR1'.
and in the BSP application use the IMPORT statement to fetch back the values
set with the IDs above.
IMPORT PNAME = LV_CNAME
FROM DATABASE INDX(XY) TO WA_INDX CLIENT
SY-MANDT ID 'ZVAR1'.
deletes the data to save wastage of memory
DELETE FROM DATABASE INDX(XY)
    CLIENT SY-MANDT
    ID 'ZVAR1'.

Samson Rodrigues

ReportMigration Using LCM & Simple Import & Export.

Hi,
I just want to know the difference between these two.. migrating the reports using LCM or by a simple import & export.
Will LCM even migrate the user security which is associated with the report??
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks
Jagadesh R K.

Yes, LCM can be used to export / import Reports / Application provisioning.
For more details, refer the below documents

Table Values in Export/Import/Tables RFC calls

Hi
I know that using Adaptive RFC, the best practice is to use the Tables section of the function rather than the import/export.
However, in ECC6.0, when creating entries in the Tables section of the FM it tells me that this section is obsolete.
Should I start to use the export/import parameters instead?
Cheers
Ian

Hi Ashu
Thanks for the reply but there is no code snippet. It is a 'best practice' question.
The document <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/11c3b051-0401-0010-fe9a-9eabd9c216de">Effective Web Dynpro - Adaptive RFC</a> details that table values should not be passed in the exporting/importing parameters of the R/3 RFC enabled function module. THey should always be added to the Tables section.
However, in ECC6.0, when adding entries into the Tables section of an R/3 function module, it says that this practice is obsolete.
Therefore, what is the current best practice for Adaptive RFC??
Cheers
Ian

Studio export/import button not working.

To import existing lar file into studio do I need to configure anything ?
I'm not able to use the export/import even when logged in as admin?

There are two ways to get to the Manage Pages interface for any community, which is where LAR import/export functionality lives. You can access it by going to the Welcome Menu on the page, and clicking "Manage Pages." If you use this path, you will be unable to import a LAR file, as the application considers you to be "in" that community, and can't overwrite the pages with the LAR you're trying to import. Instead, you'll want to access this page by going to Control Panel -> Communities. For the desired community, click Actions -> Manage Pages. Now you should be able to go to the export/import section and import your LAR.

Multiple servers in parallel export/import question

Hello all,
We plan to use parallel export/import using distribution monitor, and want to use several servers in export and also in import.
The export_monitor.cmd.properties has FTP option ftphost, whic is the hostname of the import server, which looks like it will only use 1 application server (AS) from the source system and 1 in the AS in the target system -
- is this true or can we use more AS in both export and import?
- in the export, how to specify the AS to use?
- in the export, how to specify more than 1 AS?
- in the imprt, how to specify more than 1 AS ?
Thanks,
Terry

You can use the Distribution Monitor for that purpose. Check note 855772 - Distribution Monitor
