Data Export and Import

Hello,
I need a suggestion.
I have two databases namely DB1 and DB2 and they are on different servers
S1 and S2 respectively.
What could be my approach to move data from DB1 to DB2.
1:-Do i need a database link to do this.
2:-Can i do this without DBLink if i have access to both of the Databases and DBA rights on both of the Databases.

My lowly opinion ,
it's depend on :
- db1 and db2 is in same version
- if same and db are until 9i You can use exp/imp
- if 10g You can use datapump (expdb , or dbms_datapump)
- if version is different You have to use different exp/imp utilities
- how many data you wont to move
- determine to use db link , or export
Answer,
-Yes db1 and db2 are of the same version.
-They are on Oracle 10g.
-Firstly i want to move a single table data, if successful then decide.
Now guide me how to go for it. Do i need DB link or is there any other method i can use for export and import.

BPC10 - Data manager package for dimension data export and import

Dear BPC Expers,
Need your help.
I am trying to set up a data manager package for first time to export dimension - master data from one application and import in another application ( both have same properties) .
I created a test data manager package from Organize > add package > with process chain /CPMB/EXPORT_MD_TO_FILE and Add
In the advance tab of each task there are some script logic already populated. please find attached the details of the script logic written under each of the tasks like MD_Source, concvert and target .
I have not done any chnages in the script inside the task .
But when i run the package , I have selected a dimension 'Entity' but in second prompt ,it ask for a transformation file , and syatem autometically add the file ... \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLPAL\FINANCE\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\Import.xls
I have not changed anything there
in the next prmpt , it ask for a output file ..and it won't allow me enter the file name .....i
Not sure how to proceed further.
I shall be greatfull if someone guide me from your experiance how to set up a simple the data manager package for master data export from dimension . Should I update the transformation file in the script for import file and output file in the advance tab. how and what transformation file to be created and link to the data manager package for export / import .
What are the steps to be executed to run the package for exporting master data from dimension and import it another application .
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

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.

Data export and import between Oracle 9 and 10

Hi all,
I have been working with this for weeks. Reading posts and oracle doc. Finally, bugs block my way. Hope you can help me out. Many Thanks.
Situation: I need to export data of one table from Oracle 10.2.0.1 to Oracle 9.2.0.8
Background: Oracle 10.2.0.1 at Machine 1(IBM AIX), Oracle 9.2.0.8 at Machine 2(don't know, maybe Stratus), My local Machine(XP)
Method 1: using SQL developer (MWB)
Bug: there is CLOB field in the target table. All content of CLOB field become "(CLOB)" and data lost. This is a logged bug.
Solution: give up using SQL developer
Method 2: using Oracle 10 client exp & imp and remote from my local machine XP
Bug: PLS-00302-SET_NO_OUTLINES must be declared
Solution: using Oracle 9 client
Method 3: using Oracle 9.2.0.1 client, since my local machine is XP
Bug: EXP-00003: no storage definition found for segment (target DB run Oracle 9.2.0.8)
Solution: using Oracle 9.2.0.8 client
Problem: Oracle 9.2.0.8 client is for Stratus x86 only? I have no idea what Stratus is except believing it is a server machine.
My senior told me to use sqlldr. But I just used it once for 3rd party DB for import. Can sqlldr export data?
I would like to ask for any suggestions or/and solutions. Many Thanks!
Best regards,

Hi OrionNet,
Thank you very much for your helping and my problem solved. Here is my version of spool setting modifying from OrionNet example.
set echo off
set newpage 0
set space 0
set pagesize 0
set long 2000000 //this is for CLOB, set it enough large to avoid missing data
set feed off
set head off
set trimout on
set trimspool on
spool C:\spool.dat
SELECT col1||'<EOFD>'||col2||'<EOFD>'||col3||'<EORD>' //this is separator for sqlldr
FROM tab1
WHERE col2 = 'XYZ';
spool off
and control file for sqlldr
load data
infile 'spool.dat' "str '<EORD>'" //ROW separator
append
into table tab1
fields terminated by '<EOFD>' //FIELD separator
trailing nullcols
col1,
col2,
col3
I think that using spool and sqlldr is the most "painless" method for Oracle 10g to 9i data move unless you are DBA of both DBs.
Please share If anyone have easier/safer method. I am just crazy to migrate backward Oracle version.
Thanks again,

That is possible throgh Remote Client copy or Client Export Import depends on the size of data which you want to transfer.

Language Problem while exporting and importing data

hi,
I have Oracle version 8.1.7.0.0 installed on one server and 9.2.0.1.0 installed on new server.
I'm copying and pasting my version info from SQL*Plus:
SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Mon Aug 22 10:46:31 2005
(c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

I created new user on my new server from enterprise manager.
Exported user from the old server and imported in the new server.
i.e: from Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0, I did
c:\>exp system/manager file=abc.dmp owner=abc
Then on the new server Release 9.2.0.1.0, I did
c:\>imp system/manager file=abc.dmp fromuser=abc touser=abc
I'm using Arabic Language on my both servers. NLS_LANG parameter on both the servers is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252.
On both the servers I'm able to insert and select data in arabic.
However, after I export the data from old server to the new server, the arabic data comes in question marks.
If I create new table and insert arabic data on new server's user abc it is displaying well. Only the data which I exported and imported is not showing arabic.
On both old and new servers operating system is Windows XP.
I'm stuck with this problem. Anybody having any idea about how to solve this problem please help.
Thank you all in advance.
Regards

Let me be clear here. Storing Arabic data in a WE8MSWIN1252 database is not supported by Oracle and will lead to problems. You are incorrectly using the NLS_LANG to prevent proper conversion and your data appears to be okay when you use utilties like SQL*PLUS to view your data. When you write applications that don't rely on the NLS_LANG like JDBC thin driver for instance you will realize your data is in fact invalid. To learn more about the NLS_LANG you can take a look at this FAQ: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
To migrate your database to a proper character set you can refer to this paper:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/mwp.pdf
But please do not ask for help in supporting your current configuration in this forum.

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?

Export and Import of Configuration Data

Hi All,
I have created a number of custom properties, structures, groups, renderers, layout sets etc and would like to move them from Dev to Test system.
I have found the following in the help doco:
"Export and Import of Configuration Data"
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/029c414c79b25fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm
However I am unable to see its functionality in our portal systems (namely the Actions->Export and Actions->Import functions).
Our version of Portal is: 6.0.9.6.0
KM: 6.0.9.3.0 (NW04 SPS09 Patch3)
Therefore we should be able to see it? no?
Are there any special settings to see these buttons?
Cheers,
Vic

Thanks for your replies.
OK, so in otherwords, it is not available in SP09 and only in SP12+.
So, to "transport" this information I will have to manually reapply thes settings in the Test system!

path varchar2(100):='back_up'
||to_char(sysdate,'dd_mm_yyyy-hh24_mi_ss');
v_exp varchar2(200) := 'exp hamada/hamada2013@orcl file = '

i have just one table "phone"
this code is correct he expot not only the data but also the creation of the table ....for exemple i do export and evry thing is good until now and i find the .dmp in the folder backup .. but when i deleted all data from my app and try to import this .dmp iit show me error it tell me thet the table phone is already created ....
so plz help wanna just export the data of phone not the creation of table and data ???? or how can i import just the data from this .dmp ??

Pl post OS and database versions.
You will likely need to use the IGNORE flag - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/original_import.htm#sthref2201
Imp utility (by default) will try and create the table first. Since the table already exists, imp reports an error. Use the IGNORE flag in your imp command to not report such errors.

Export and import of an table data

Hi All,
I have a situation where i need to append/import the production table ( X ) data to test table ( X ) which has some data already in it and should not be lost during the operation. The record count is around 6 million .
Any expert suggestion or tips with export and import command is highly appriciable.
Thanks in advance .

if you are using
IMPDP --- use table_exist_action=append
IMP -- ignore=y
Lets say
impdp username/pwd directory=<directory_name> dumpfile=<dumpfile_name> tables=X table_exist_action=APPEND.
This will append the data to existing table

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

Export and import table data with Java

I need a library for simple exporting and importing table data.
The data should be exported to a SQL file with insert statements.
I just want to tell the library the table name, the connection and where to store the file. The usage should be very simple.
Are there any small libraries for this? Finished calsses and methods which I can just call?

I need a library for simple exporting and importing
table data.
The data should be exported to a SQL file with insert
statements.Every database has utilities to export/import data from tables. Take a look at your database manual.

Issue Migrating Character Data Using a Full Export and Import

Hi There;
I have a database in my local machine that doesn't support Turkish characters. My NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P1, It must be changed to WE8ISO8859P9 , since it supports full Turkish characters. I would like to migrate character data using a full export and import and my strategy is as follows:
1- create a full export to a location in network,
2- create a new database in local machine that it's NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P9 (I would like to change NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY by the way)
3- and implement full import to newly created database.
I 've implemented first step, but I couldn't implement the second step. I 've created the second step by using toad editor by clicking Create -> New Database but I can not connect the new database. I must connect new database in order to perform full import. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.

First, if your applications run on Windows, do not use WE8ISO8859P9. Use TR8MSWIN1254.
Second, if you create a new database, the database is not necessarily immediately accessible to outer world. I do not know Toad and I have no idea if it performs all necessary steps required for the new database to be visible. For example, in the Toad itself, I assume you should create a new connection that references the new SID of the newly created database and use this new connection to connect. However, connections without a connection string use the ORACLE_SID setting in Registry to tell connecting applications which instance (database) to use. To change the database accessed with an empty connection string you need to modify Registry (unless Toad has an option to do this for you). If you want to connect without changing Registry, you need a connect string. This requires setting up Oracle Listener to serve the new database (unless default configuration is used and the database registers itself with the default listener). It also requires changing tnsnames.ora file to create an alias for the new database. Net Manager and/or Net Configuration Assistant can help you with this.
I wonder if Database Configuration Assistant would not be a better tool to create new Oracle databases.
Thanks,
Sergiusz

Exporting and importing only the Incremental datas

Dear all,
we r facing a big time consuming process of changing oracle schema datas from live servers to out testing servers..
scenario as follows:
1. .dmp files of size 1GB to 3 GB are taken from live server and posted in test servers to check the live issues
2. same sized dumps are taken for simulation to rectify issue
this type of above process consumes the whole time for exporting and importing
can any one suggest me how can the incremental data's alone can be exported and imported to the test server.
Hoping that i can get a valuable solution for this
Thanks in Advance
S.Aravind

Hi Aravind,
as Nicolas specified RMAN would be the best option.
Incremental data refresh is not possible through exp/imp. but there is a possiblity of writing a script which automates this refresh process.
