Best approach to exporting and importing an environment

Client is on 11.1.0.7. Windows 2008 R1. We have a need to export an environment that is using ASM and import that environment to another server that is not using ASM. Environment name will stay the same. Was hoping to get some advice on best approach for this and what would be involved. Thanks in advance.

...a need to export an environment...What do you mean by that? Are you referring to moving the data only or physically migrating the database? How big is the data/database size?
If you only need to move data, export/import is transparent from ASM environment. If you need to migrate physical database from ASM to non-ASM in the same platform, you can use RMAN utility.

Best way to export and import data from an iPhone app?

How do people here prefer to export and import data from an iPhone app?
For example, suppose your app creates or modifies a plist. It might be nice to provide that plist to the user for separate backup and later allow them to re-import it.
How do people do that? Email the plist to an address? If so, how would one later get it back in?
Is there a common way people do this kind of thing?
Thanks,
doug

Or maybe the best approach for this is some sort of file synchronization feature? Is there a way of having files from the app's filesystem automatically get stored on the computer's filesystem when synchronizing and vice-versa?

What is the best way to export and import updates between WSUS servers for specific KB's with environments that have different data sets?

We are under strict regulations and monitoring at my company. Because of this, we have to define what updates are being installed during a patch cycle by KB Article. Two production networks and one test network. The installed updates have to be the exact
same in the test environment, run for a few days with no problems, and then we install them in our production networks. The issue is, not all of the software in the environments is identical.
I need to figure out a way to take failed/needed updates from production that are unapproved, export that list so I can approve all of those updates in the test env.. Then once I approve those and any other needed updates in test, I need to be able to export
all approved updates from the test env (which includes the needed ones from production) and import those approvals in production.
How can this be done?
Thanks!

the easiest way will be to use a single wsus infrastructre for all your environments.
Tis blog article explains how to duplicate the approvals over groups:

Export and import change document for user master data

Dear Gurus,
I have two queries on change document for user master data:
1. Are there any approaches to export and import change document for user master data?
We often do system copy from PRD to QAS for UAT and troubleshooting. Before system copy we export the user master data from QAS and then import after the copy process. We would like to keep the change document for user master data on QAS from being refreshed from PRD for security reason.
2. Change document for Role change in QAS
When the role is created or modified in DEV and then transported to QAS, the role change document doen't include this change log. The role change document in QAS only records those role changes directly made in QAS.
Could you advise this is by SAP design or are there any approaches to record this transported role change in the role change document in QAS?
Thanks
YBY

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.
Cheers,
Julius

Exporting and Importing Virtual servers with Windows 2012 R2 Hyper V

Hi
We are looking for various options / best practice in exporting and importing VSs between Windows 2012 R2 servers. Live migration we tested between servers in same VLAN and it's fine, but some servers are in different VLAN and hardware firewall is there
in between. So we exported the VS and while importing it, there is no option to export each Virtual disk to separate partitions / LUNs. Is it fine to create a new VS in the new server and just copy the VDs from the other HV host server, or exporting and importing
is the only proper method?
Thanks in advance
LMS

Hi Laljeev,
Please allow me to state my understanding of the two methods :
1.when you want to copy vhd you may need to shutdown the VM , further more if there is some snapshots I think it will be a trouble .
2. "export" you still need to shutdown VM but it doesn't have the trouble with snapshots .
The other way I will use is , "move" all of the VM's data to external disk then import it into destination hyper-v server (it can decrease the off-line time of VMs).

Elton, in Windows Server 2012 R2, we do not need to show down the VM to export it via the Hyper-V Manager GUI or Powershell...

Exporting and importing non-sealed MPs to another environment

Hello,
I have a task to rebuild SCOM environment, replace SCOM 2007R2 with 2012R2, there are a lot of MPs with groups of monitoring objects, overrides for some monitors and rules, is it possible to import these MPs to the new SCOM after agent
installation to save all configuration? These objects are saved in the MPs with GUIDs, I think these GUIDs will be changed in the new management group, so I need to create these groups and overrides again, yes? What can I export from old MG and import
to the new MG automatically to reduce manual work? I have found script which can export and import membership of security groups, also all subscribers and notifications are saved in the non-sealed MP. Also I have found small post with information to save
favorite and scheduled reports by backing up and restoring ReportServer database.

Hi,
Yes, we can import saved MP to the new management group to use those saved overrides and groups.
I would like to suggest you follow the link below to do side by side migration from SCOM 2007 to SCOM 2012:

Shell Script For Export And Import Of Table Records

Hello,
We have production and test instances and for constant testing we need to copy data from production to test or development environment.
At the moment what we do is manually doing export and import table records. At times this could be very tedious as we may need
to do this exercise a couple of times in a day.
Is it a good idea to do this exercise using shell script? If so how could I do this? If this is not a good idea what are the best alternatives?
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Ah I see, your company prefers stupidity over efficiency. It would be possible to do it in a controlled environment, wouldn't it? Also the test database would be allowed to select only.
So the non-allowance is just plain stupid.
To the second question: do you use hard-coded passwords in shell scripts?
Don't you think that poses a security risk?
Don't you think that is a bigger risk than a database link, properly set up?
In my book it is!

Question regarding export and import of Hyperion Security during upgrade

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading Essbase, Integration Services from 7x to 9x which are utilizing Hyperion Hub and we are going to follow the method of uninstalling 7x and reinstalling 9x components.
Now my question is, what is the best way of transferring security from 7x to 9x. I heard that Advanced Security Manager can be used to export and import back security. Or is there any
other way of doing it??
Can someone please enlighten me on this.
Thanks in advance

First let me say that any software that comes without a save button should be sold with a warning label.
Why?
Question 1: I have having an issue comprehending how to save a photo. In my case I select the photo, zoom in on the subject, export it to my desktop. The pciture on my desktop does not incorporate the change. Am I missing a step? What do I need to do to export it with this change? I actually watched a You Tube video on this and could not see what i was not doing.
You must have selected the wrong option in the Export dialog box. Under "File Settings", you need to select JPG and not "Original". Of course, you probably need to do some additional viewing of videos (or some reading) to learn that most people's workflow does not automatically include a "Save" or "Export" after editing the photo. It's not a necessary part of Lightroom's workflow, unless you need the photo for some non-Lightroom activity.
Question 2: I just installed Lightroom and am trying to import my 12k strong photo collection. The Import button pulls in about 2k and then cannot find anymore. The photos are stored in folders by date within a master folder. I am selecting the master folder. I can go in and import the sub-fodler individually. However i do not want to do that 200 times.There is no apparent way to go into the subfolder level and select more than one folder.
In the Import dialog box, on the left, under "Source", there is a checkbox that says "Include SubFolders". Make sure this is checked.
Seriously, you need to spend some time reading introductory material about LR because Lightroom does not work like any other photographic software you might have used in the past. You are handling it as if it was no different than standard photo editing software, and you are going to be frustrated if that is your mindset.

Error when exporting and importing TS

Hi I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 and am trying to export a Task Sequence including with the Windows 7 wim, the boot wim, some applications and drivers. When I exported the TS I selected to export dependencies and content.
I have setup dev SCCM environment (same spec as production) and am trying to import the .zip that was created when I completed the export. When doing the import I am getting the below error on both the Windows 7 wim and the boot wim :
Error Imported Operating System Image (1):
Create new Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Generic failure
instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus
Description = "Failed to get the image property from the source WIM file due
to error 80070003".
ErrorCode= 2147942403;
File="e:\\nts_sccm_release\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\
\sspimagepackage.cpp";
Line = 483;
Operation = "Putinstance";
ParameterInfo = "";
ProviderName = "ExtnProv";
StatusCode = 2147749889;
The applications and drivers have been imported into the Dev SCCM server however I cannot find the actual content so I am not sure this has worked properly. I am wondering if I would be better off using the Migration wizard to take the TS and
content across. Would appreciate any advice on either a) how to fix the issues with the importing of the TS or b) whether I should just be using the migration wizard.
Thanks
G

The applications and drivers have been imported into the Dev SCCM server however I cannot find the actual content so I am not sure this has worked properly.
When you exported did you choose to "Export all content for selected task sequence and dependencies".
80070003 = The system cannot find the path specified.

Is it possible to replace masters with versions without going through the process of exporting and importing?

Is it possible to overwrite the master files with the versions without having to go through the entire process of exporting and importing back the images?
Thnx in advance

A small refinement if you shoot RAW. Remember, no RAW file can ever be edited or rewritten. Thus, in the old days, the flow was:
RAW>TIFF/PSD and you ended up with two large files. (This is why some folks used to delete the RAW Masters.)
With Aperture the flow is something like:
RAW+Version(s) Only the Version is only 30 KB. (There is, of course, additional overhead of Thumbs and Previews, but, depending on your settings, this is only a fraction of the size of a TIFF or PSD.)
You question goes right to the heart of the concept of a non-destructive workflow. With Aperture you always preserve your original Master file; the only things that are ever at risk are your edits (called Adjustments). Ironically, this is even more valuable if you shoot JPEG or TIFF as those files could be rewritten.)
Aperture goes to great lengths to give you the best of both worlds; you always have the Master to revert to and your "edits" take up very little disk space. And you don't have to waste time trying to sync folders of RAW, TIFF, and JPEG. Similarly, you never have to worry about resizing images, changing color spaces, or any number of other things that get locked into an image file when you use a destructive workflow.
Remember, Aperture will happily Export files in any format you may need. Export 'em, use 'em, delete 'em - your Masters are still safe in Aperture.

Client Export and Import

Hi,
I am having one doubt regarding Client export and import
In my organization we are having three system landscape, but the Quality and Production server(In Process)
Development box is ready to use, and we are having another sand server in different location for our consultant practice
that system is not in our landscape and that is different location,i want to import that client in to my development server hear
It is possible to export that data from that Client(scc8) copy that in my development server and Import(scc7) is possible..?
if possible than what are the pre-requisites to do That Export and Import of client between two different systems,
what is best procedure to do this Task.......!
Regards'
Mohammed.Khan

>>once export is done successfully than can i copy those exported file in to my file server and then copy to my development >>system trans directory (cofiile,datafile) than can i import those files in my development server with *stms_import* command
Yes, you have to
>>than can i go for client import(scc7)
Yes.
>>***Configuring the TMS between that sand box and my development server***
Not required but yes if the sandbox server is not in the landscape you have to create a Virtual System in sandbox and you have to configure the Transport, then only you would be able to create the export file

Export and Import of mappings/process flows etc

Hi,
We have a single repository with multiple projects for DEV/UAT and PROD of the same logical project. This is a nightmare for controlling releases to PROD and in fact we have a corrupt repository as a result I suspect. I plan to split the repository into 3 separate databases so that we have a design repos for DEV/UAT and PROD. Controlling code migrations between these I plan to use the metadata export and subsequent import into UAT and then PROD once tested. I have used this successfully before on a project but am worried about inherent bugs with metadata export/imports (been bitten before with Oracle Portal). So can anyone advise what pitfalls there may be with this approach, and in particular if anyone has experienced loss of metadata between export and import. We have a complex warehouse with hundreds of mappings, process flows, sqlldr flatfile loads etc. I have experienced process flow imports that seem to lose their links to the mappings they encapsulate.
Thanks for any comments,
Brandon

Export and Import in Oracle

I need to export users with tables and data from Oracle 8.0.4 and import into Oracle 8.1.7.
But the condition is that we need to retain the Japanese characters.
I did this using simple export and import functions but Japanese characters were imported as Junk.
Can somebody tell me what is the clean way of exporting and importing such that Japanese charaters are not converted to Junk.

You must set the correct characterset before exporting and importing (I don't know which characterset is correct for you, but choosing the same characterset as the characterset of your database should work).
Use NLS_LANG environment variable to do this,
NLS_LANG=<LANGUAGE>_<TERRITORY>.<CHARACTERSET>. On UNIX if NLS_LANG is not set explicitly, it defaults to AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII, that means all special characters cannot be translated.
On Windows NLS_LANG is set at installation time, it corresponds to the settings of Windows itself.

Export and Import of repositories

Hello all,
I was trying to import a repository and reports created on a different BI server.Can anyone help me with the proper steps to do so?
When I try to do the same and open up one of the imported report...it asks me for a dsn name and a driver....It is very well understood that the dsn name and the driver is missing coz the db's in the physical layer are in the oracle db...
But how do I connect when I don't have the table in my oracle db???
Plz help and let me know if its possible....
Any suggestions would be considered helpful...
Thanks
