Designer Import/Export Tools

Hello all,
After installing designer 6i im given the option to install Import & Export Tools which i think are based on oracle 8.0 librarary files.
If i intend to install oracle 8i EE after designer, can i ignore the installation of the 8.0 tools or are these needed in addition to oracle 8i database ?
If i choose to install 8.0 import and export tools, can these be installed in same home as designer (default home) or same home as oracle 8i (ora8ihome) or should these be in an entirely different home of their own.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Since the Repository is on an 8i database, but the client is on an 8.0 database, you need to have imp.exe and exp.exe from 8i (and their associated NLS files and DLLs) available on your path to use REPADM to install the Repository or do imports / exports.
The default client install of Oracle 8i DOES NOT include the Import / Export tools by default, but you can include them if you do a custom install. The option to install Import / Export tools during the Designer 6i installer will install an 8i client that includes the import / export tools.
N.b. If your Repository is on the same machine as the client, I suspect the database installation WILL include import/export, so you shouldn't need to install the client separately from the Designer installer.

Hello,

The installer do not wake up and tools are not installed. Cannot import repository from previous installation and moreover (AND MORE IMPORTANT) when running Net8 Conf assistant and Net8 Client configuration it finish with GPF ("Program made an illegal operation and will be terminate")

Import/Export tool Command line syntax for R2

Would anyone please advise the syntax of command line import/export tool for XIR2?
Read this post below for importing from a biar file but not sure how to export from BO into a biar file.
How to log BIAR export/import from command line
We're in fact trying to migrate from R2 into R3. The import wizard provided by BO doesn't work well with favorites and inboxes migration due to the large volume of data we need to migrate, hence looking for alternatives.
Any advice around this line would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
GM

Denis,
Thanks for your reply. This at least saved my effort to explore further.
Would you offer any advice for migrating large volume of personal folders from R2 into R3?
We're integrating with AD, so everytime listing users for selection taking ages and often times out.
Even if we managed to export the biar file for a group of users, exporting them into R3 fails quite often as well.
The whole process is simply very unpredictable and unreliable.
Thanks.

Import/Export-Tools for XML on Oracle-Lite

We have to import/export XML-Format on the Oracle-Lite-Database.
-Are there any tools available supporting Import and Export of XML-Data ?
-Can someone give us a recomendation how to perform XML-Imports/Exports if there is
no "out of the box-tool" available ?
Thanks.

So try. It is called Oracle XML-SQL utility and it set of classes for direct XML manipulation from/to database with HUGE amount of features. You can use it from JAVA and PL/SQL (via Java Stored Procedures). It is realy great.

Data Import/Export Tool

Hello Experts,
I would like to have your views on Data import function (not DTW) in SAP. Does this functionality have any data integrity issue ? My client likes to use this function to import business partners using Excel rather than DTW.
What is the difference ? Are there any known issues ? Is it not supported by SAP ?
Await your response on this.
regards
Johnson

Hi Johnson,

Questions on Import/Export Personalizations

Hi,
We are on 11.5.10 CU3. We have dozens of personalizations in Dev. I understand that Functional Administrator Import/Export tool can be used to transfer them from Dev to production. I am facing some issues when I try that.
1. I exported a personalization in Dev to the same instance java/custom. It created the directory structure java/custom..../site/0/ReqSummaryPG.
2. I imported it back. This was successful.
3. I re-imported it. It failed without an explanation for the failure. What could be the reason? Doesn't it just overrite the previous import - like when importing substituions?
4. I copied the custom/..../site/0 to another instance and imported it there. It was successful. However I could not see the personalizations.
5. So I checked. I realized that the directory structure was wrong. It was java/custom/apps/..../site/0
instead of java/custom/oracle/apps/..../site/0.
6. So I corrected the directories and re-imported. Failure like 3 above. I thought it was because of duplicate records. So i did the query select * from jdr_paths where PATH_NAME like '%ReqSummaryPG%'. I got only one record which was the seeded record. So eventhough 4 was successful there is only one record. Why?
Do I have to bounce Apache for each separate import of the same document?
Is there documentation on this utility with best practices? I see in the forum that no-one could successfully make this utility work.
Any help would be appreciated. I thought this was a simple utility ...
Thanks
Sandeep

Well this worked the next day! I reimported ReqSummaryPG again and it worked. I believe a few Apache bounces took place inbetween.
We were able to export/import quite a few personalizations. However, we got it right the first time this time around
I am still interested in knowing why a second consecutive import of the same doc doesn't work? And how to make it work? This would help in resolving issues in case of mishaps. Appreciate it if someone can provide an explanation.
Thanks
Sandeep

Import/export properties of multiple numeric limit steps

Hello
I have a question to the property loader and the import/export tool in TestStand 3.5.
When I want to export the limits of a sequence with multiple numeric steps with the import/export tool, I press the Limits button to include the limits into the 'selected' field of the properties tab. But for the multiple numeric step the limits are included not for all indices but only once with an question mark instead of an index (Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Low, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.High, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Comp).
The property loader step acts the same way.
What can I do ?
Thanks
Olli

Hi Olli,
For the multiple numeric limit test, you will need to individually specify which numeric limits you want to export. Lets suppose you have 3 sets of limits for your multiple numeric limit test. If you wanted to export the first set, you would use the syntax
Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low
Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High
You will need to do this for each set of limits you have in your array. Simply replace the "?" with the index of the element in the array.
Hope this helps!

Import/Export Job in management portal.

I am trying to create an Import/Export job in portal, I read this document:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-import-export-service/
and I am unable to do this, document says download import/export tool, but I am unable to do that any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would request you to check if you meet all these prerequisites:
• You must have an active Azure subscription.
• Your subscription must include a storage account with enough available space to store the files you are going to import.
• You need at least one of the account keys for the storage account.
• You need a computer (the "copy machine") with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, or a newer Windows operating system installed.
• The .NET Framework 4 must be installed on the copy machine.
• BitLocker must be enabled on the copy machine.
• You will need one or more empty 3.5-inch SATA hard drives connected to the copy machine.
• The files you plan to import must be accessible from the copy machine, whether they are on a network share or a local hard drive.

Update rules import/export

Hi expterts,
I'm trying to export some structures from a BW system in order to import them in to another one.
I'm using the XML import/export tool and it seems to work fine for ODS but I'm finding some problems to export the update rules because when I import them it simply does not create anything.
Is there a way to manage this issue ?
best regards,
mirco

You can try using the Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Portability namespace in the object model. This can be done per site collection and does include query rules.

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

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.

Cannot open Import/Export Properties Tool

Hello all,
I am working with NI TestStand 2014 and I am trying to use the "Import/Export Properties" tool from Tools -> Import/Export Properties... but when I click it, nothing happens, no window, no warning, nothing.
The option is obviously enabled in the menu but are there other conditions that I might be missing? Looking the internet for exemples, it just appears trivial that this tool should at least show up...
Any suggestion would be very welcome.
Thank you very much in advance!
Matt.
Solved!

Hello jigg and thank you for your support.
Follwing your advices, I found the "Customize Tools Menu" for which the options of "Import/Export Properties" appear to be correct. I have attached a sceen shot of this window.
I followed the path to the sequence file "GenericImportExport.seq" given under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2014\Components\Tools
I launched this sequence from testStand, the sequence makes a call to a "TSDBComponents.dll" under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2014\Components\StepTypes\Database\TSDBComponents.dll
The run fails immediately. The best piece of information I could get is "Error - System Level Exception"...
By the way, running the sequence "ImportExport.seq" sitting aside the so called "generic" one works properly. However this sequence does not call the same dll so, well...
Here is a another clue in case it may help:
- I open TestStand and login as administrator
- I click on "Tools" -> "Import/Export Properties..." and nothing happens.
- I close TestStand and get a "TestStand Debug Options Warning"
I have attached a screen shot of this window. Here is the text it contains:
References to PropertyObjects were not released properly.
Total number of objects: 37
Number of top-level objects: 5
Note: Some top-level objects may be included if they are referenced by
an incorrectly released top-level object. For example, an unreleased
SequenceContext object references a SequenceFile object.
The following top-level objects were not released:
Type Definitions [3 object(s) not released]
Type Definition #1:
Name: DatabasePropertyMapping
Type Definition #2:

Type Definition #3:

My TestStand installation comes from "Labview 2014 Automated Test Suite", I am running a windows 7 SP1 64 bits. The TestStand version I have is version 2014 (14.0.0.274) 32-bit under the "Development System" license...
Since the error I am facing is related to a "system level exception", I wonder if running a 32bit teststand on a 64 bit machine may be the root cause. Who knows... We have other computers here running the 64 bit version of TestStand and I cannot reproduce this problem there.
I will try fresh install and see how further I can go.
Regards,
Matt.

Import/Export Button in designer grayed out

Import/Export button in designer is grayed out for one user. it is not his security setting, since he doesn't have this issue using other machines.
I am wondering what is wrong on his machine? Could any body help us.
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that there might be some problem with the specific machine.
In order to be sure, just login as an administrator onto the machine, and check to be sure, whether it is an issue with rights.
However, if it is not the issue with the rights, then we can just reinstall Designer and check whether the issue has been resolved or not.
To do this, just go into your control panel and in the Add & Remove programs, click BusinessObjects and click on change, and then select Modify, expand the client components ,and select Desktop Intelligence : "Entire Feature will be unavailable" and continue with the uninstallation.
The next time around, perform the same steps, and then select DeskI and "Entire Feature will be installed on local hard drive" , and finish the installation.
This would reinstall the designer.

Import/Export wizard auto-generates all columns as DATE

Hi
I'm trying to use the Import/Export Wizard as I used to, as a handy tool to figure out what a series of T-SQL statements (in an SSIS package) is doing - or, if I'm lucky, what on earth the original dev
intended them to do.
Version: SQL 2014 64-bit running on Win 7 64-bit
The code is pretty dreadful:
SELECT DISTINCT on one set of column names,
join this set to another table but not on exactly the same set of column names,
embedded (SELECT MAX(bla) FROM SameTable WHERE [match to outer set on another set of columns] GROUP BY [hey, yet another set of columns!]) inside the SELECT column list...
and it all goes to a nasty #Tmp, which is then abused with further bad code further down.
Imp/Exp is always handy to quickly get the intermediate results into an auto-created real table, so I can figure out exactly what the effect of this is. I use it to export from the database back to the same database, but to a persisted table.
This time (first time with SQL2014) it's not working. The source is "write a query" (paste the actual query). The destination I set to a new table. The auto-generation of the new table creates every column as type
date. Not surprisingly, this doesn't work, as the original data is mostly not of
date time.
Looks like a bug. Any idea of a workaround or fix?
thanks!

Sorry, but I think you're still not getting what I'm saying.
This is not a production SSIS package design, but a quick'n'nasty diagnosis technique I'm used to using:
- Find some SQL in an existing query/script that I'm trying to debug
- Paste it into Import/Export wizard as a source
- Wizard creates a new table for the result - I then have the results persisted for examination, comparison with the results from refactored code, etc.
And I can't even put suitable CAST/CONVERT statements in, because the wizard is mis-identifying the
input column data types, with no way to change them. It's somehow thinking that every column in the input (the SQL query) is of type
date(500), when the columns are obviously not of this type.

Questions on Subviews and Import/Export in Data Modeler v3 EA1.

I have a few questions about the capabilities of Data Modeler v3 EA1:
1) Is it possible to rename subviews? Would like more meaningful names then Relational_x - Subview_x.
2) Is it possible to save documents at subview level?
3) Is it possible to import/export subsets of data?
4) Having problems importing Erwin 7 .xml file, is there known problems with this import?
Judy

Hi Judy,
1) To rename a subview just right click on it in the browser tree and select "Properties". In the properties dialog change the name and click OK button.
2) You can save a subview as new Data Modeler design - from the File menu select Export -> To Data Modeling Design. In the newly opened dialog select the subview you want to export and click OK button.
3) After saving a subview as new design (see answer #2) it can be imported in some other design (File -> Import -> Data Modeler Design).
4) What kind of problems do you have with import of Erwin 7.* xml file?
Regards,
Ivan
