EP6 SP2 Km Config Export / Import

Hi,
In EP6 on 640 you can transport KM config by exporting it into an .configarchive file and then importing it.
Is there an equivalent in SP2?
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
not really, only LayoutSets are ex-/importable, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/c7/f66dbc34d4bb43a06472e17997e47b/frameset.htm
Hope it helps

Export/import content from EP6 into NW04

We are upgrading from SRM3.0/EP6 SP2 (source) to SRM5.0/Portal NW2004s (target).
The only thing we need to preserve from the source portal are the users and roles. We plan to re-apply the business package for SRM 5.0 after the migration is completed. We are not using any Collaboration Rooms.
I know there is a migration path from EP6 SP2->EP6 SP9(NW04), followed by an upgrade from NW04->NW04s.
My question is:
- is it possible to export content from EP6SP2 and import it into NW04/MW04s? this will eliminate the complicated migration path from EP6 SP2 to NW04.

Hi,
As long as you only need to transport PCD content, I would recommend using normal PCD transport (just did an upgrade from EP6 SP2 to NW04 SP13 and used normal PCD transport without any problems. Will do the same for another upgrade to NW04s). Only if you have KM content you are forced to use the migration tools.
I am not quite sure about users and role migration since I've only use LDAP as a user store (we manually repeated the AD group to portal role mapping since there were very few)
There was a conf call on this, but the only reference I can find now is https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/supplemental_docs/prtl204.pdf

Suneel Razdan

Hello
I have resolved it !!!
That's usually caused by the database not containing a valid config framework tree. In all cases so far this happened as part of the user killing the java vm in a situation where one should have waited for the cancel button to return.
I restored the target database with the backup
taken before started the migration and rerun the tool on
the target. You can continue to use the MigrationInput.zip file.

Error when exporting/importing

I am using MDM 7.1
When I export the schema from my Dev system to import into QA I get the following Error:
"This repository requires additional steps before transport. See the MDS log for details.
In the log my issue is that I am trying to export an Assignment that includes an expression that uses "look-ups".
In my Dev system I removed the expression to confirm if this is the issue, once I no longer have expressions with look-ups then it allows me to export the schema. I then tries to import it to QA (since the expressions are not changing I planned on excluding them from the import as a temporary workaround.
however I get the same error message when trying to import. It seems that I can not export or import with a system that has an assignment with an expression that uses look-ups.
Is there some config I am missing?

Hi Brad,
assignments/validations are a general problem when it comes to Schema exports/imports! What you can do in case there are not too many assignments - is to delete the assignments and create them new (manually) after you have imported the schema.
Hope this helps a little.

Erdal

Error during export & import of rules in RAR 5.2

Hi all,
We followed the steps mentioned in exporting & importing the rules as per the Config guide. But we
are receiving the below error during the import of rules. Can anybody please throw a limelight on why this error message is appearing?
"Error in Table Data ==> VIRSA_CC_CRPROF
SQL==>Insert into VIRSA_CC_CRPROF(VSYSKEY,PROFILE,RULESETID,RISKLEVEL,STATUS)Values(??????)
Record==>D VIRSA_CC_CRPROF null"
We also ensured that the downloaded file is not truncated and saved it in a separate folder. Does the file needs to saved in ANSI or Unicode text? We saved in ANSI
Also the background ground job is not getting scheduled automatically during the import of ruels. Is that due to the above error?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Hello Sri,
background job for generating the rules won`t be scheduled before you upload the file successfully.
The most obvious reason for this error message is that you have line in your file - in table VIRSA_CC_CRPROF that is corrupted. Make sure all lines from table VIRSA_CC_CRPROF have all predefined fields - (VSYSKEY,PROFILE,RULESETID,RISKLEVEL,STATUS).
If you keep hiting this problem just delete this table, after the upload you`ll add the critical profiles manually - I bet you don`t have many of them.
Also from my experience I always choose to save the downloaded file in UNICODE UTF-8 format.
Once the file is saved in other format, there`s no use of it, download it again and save directly in Unicode.
Make sure you don`t have empty fields, even in the fields where you don`t have values, you must leave space, otherwise you`ll keep hitting the same issue.

Iliya

PC suite export/import breaks SMS messages

Nokia PC suite 6.85.14.1
Windows XP SP2
Phone 6500 classic connected either by Bluetooth or USB
just updated 6500c to 4.84 firmware
an sms message is received and is viewable fine in Inbox
using the phone I move it to Archive, it is still OK
I then export it to PC (drag-n-drop to a folder)
I delete the message in the phone and import (drag-n-drop) back to Archive
The message is there but it does not show sender name (instead I see the date in the header)
When I open the message and click message details, I can see that
To: field contains the actual sender, while Sender: has (no address)
I tried various things including messing with vmg content (putting same TEL: field to both VCARD entries), but on the import to 6500c, it is the same story - as if the import swaps the sender with receiver and clears the sender field
Please also note that at all times, when I view the messages in PC Suite (phone browser) they show correct sender field, I just need to see the same on the actual phone
Is there something I am missing?
Generally I just need to copy old sms messages from 7260, but when importing them they break as described above. I then tried to export a "6500" message and import it back - with same result. So it appears to be a PC Suite issue rather than anything

al_lea, thanks, I already thought about that, but as I said to exlucde any incompatibility issues within vmg I tried a export/import of a "native" sms freshly received on the 6500, and it gives the same problem.
I also tried changing versions to 3.0 manually in the vmg with no luck.
I'm starting to think the message is actually ok, but it's probably the 6500c software that doesn't display them right. When I try to reply to "broken" message, it does go to sender, even though he is not displayed as one
it looks like PC suite export or import strips the empty to: VCARD from inside the vmg, which is fine by the standards but 6500c doesnt like

License in Failover/Backup Portal - Ep6 SP2

Hello,
We run EP6 SP2 and we copy the database and portal server file system to different hardware as a diaster recovery method. We we bring up the portal on this new server it loads fine, but it says that it is not licensed since the Hardware key is different.
Does anyone know if I can import a license on the current server with the hardware key of the DR Server so that it will be licensed when you start it?
Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks,
Keith

Keith,
Kindly check note 181543 (License key for high-availability environment).

Exporting/importing policies in OAM 10g

How can I export/import policies in 10.1.4.3? Is there a command-line tool for this? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
You can do this by migrating the LDAP data, since all the config/policy data is stored in the LDAP.
Here are a high level steps of what might be required -
(Note: These may not be the complete tasks which you might have to do, and may differ for your settings).
-> Ensure the LDAP (in both envs) are of the same version, and the schema are the same.
-> If the schema has been copied as well, make sure the references have been changed (hostname, IP, etc, if any).
-> Take a backup of the the data in the from/to environment(s).
-> Export the config data (and policy data if req) from the existing env into an ldif file using LDAP commands or using an LDAP Editor (Eg: Apache Directory Studio).
-> Change references (hostname, IP, etc, (if any)) to match the new environment settings. (Eg: obDBAgentHost).
-> Import the ldif file in the new environment.
-> Ensure the components (LDAP, OIS, AAA, Webserver) comes up fine in the new environment. (After installing/configuring the required OAM components).
-> Reconfig components if necessary.

How to export/import prefs.js? Copying the file doesnt work

I want to export/import about:config changes. The paths is "Firefox/Profiles/i63866ho.default-1384517947097/prefs-js". I copied prefs.js, all the content of the folder "i63866ho.default-1384517947097" and "Profiles" folder also. Nothing worked. When I copied prefs.js it didnt do anything and comes back to the old/first prefs.js after restarting firefox. When I copy the folder it says it cannot be done.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot

Thank you for the info.
I finally got the way, no need to change profiles.ini
I was as close as far from getting it. I was replacing Profiles folder when firefox was open. But firefox must be closed, I must copy all the content from the extrange named folder inside Profiles, replacing it for the content of the new one after restoring.
1. Set firefox with all changes on about:config, extensions, tabs, etc that I like, and then close it, cmd+q
2. Copy all content from the extrange folder in Profiles (something like niwxnm2h.default-1384723124135)
3. Open firefox and restore it, closing it again when it restarts.
4. Now, being firefox closed, replace the content from the new extrange folder by the old / copied.
5. Done, just start firefox.
So now I have two copies, with changes on about:config and with about:config and extensions.

Export/Import Router Settings

I have just purchased a new WRT300N router and would like to export/import all my settings from my WRT54G.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished??
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Not sure if you can import it to the new router. I never tried this one.
You may try saving the backed up file configuration. You can do this by:
1. If your wrt54g has a config management option under adminisration tab. Try it there. Under the config management, click on back up and save it in your drive. [dont change the file name].
2. Open the wrt300n setup page. Go to administration, click on restore configuration and browse for the backed up file. not sure if this works, I never heard of importing settings from a different versions/router.

Memory Limitation on EXPORT & IMPORT Internal Tables?

Hi All,
I have a need to export and import the internal tables to memory. I do not want to export it to any data base tables. is there a limitation on the amount of memroy that is can be used for the EXPORT & IMPORT. I will free the memory once I import it. The maximum I expect would be 13,000,000 lines.
Thanks,
Alex (Arthur Samson)

You don't have limitations, but try to keep your table as small as possible.
Otherwise, if you are familiar with the ABAP OO context, try use Shared Objects instead of IMPORT/EXPORT.

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'.

Issue with Memory ID export / import

Hi Experts,
We are facing strange issue during export/import from memory ID.
We are exporting value to Memory ID from module pool program and trying to import same value in SAP workflow method.
While importing the value from memory ID it is failing to import and gives sy-subrc =4.
Any idea how can we do export/import in module pool program to Workflow method?

Sanjana

Hi sanjana,
Please check the link. Here you can find some examples also.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Import+and+Export+to+Cluster+Databases
P.S
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bf8358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
You just need to create a key and an ID to save data into INDX table.Once its saved you can use same key and id to import .
Again mentioning , dont forget to delete using same key and ID once you have imported else it may give error.

Best choice for exporting / importing EUL

Hi all
I have been tasked with migrating an EUL from a R11 to a R12 environment. The Discoverer version on both environments is 10.1.2 and the OS is Solaris on oracle db's.
I am unfortunately not experienced with Discoverer and there seems to be no one available to assist for various reasons. So I have been reading the manual and forum posts and viewing metalink articles.
I tried exporting the entire eul via the wizard and then importing it to the new environment but i was not successfull and experienced the system hanging for many hours with a white screen and the log file just ended.
I assumed this was a memory problem or slow network issues causing this delay. Someone suggested I export import the EUL in pieces and this seemed to be effective but I got missing item warnings when trying to open reports. This piece meal approach also worried me regarding consistency.
So I decided to try do the full import on the server to try negate the first problem I experienced. Due to the clients security policies I am not able to open the source eul and send it to our dev. I was able to get it from their dev 11 system but I dismissed this as the dev reports were not working and the only reliable eul is the Prod one. I managed to get a prod eex file from a client resource but the upload to my server was extremely slow.
I asked the dba to assit with the third option of exporting a db dump of the eul_us and importing this into my r12 dev environment. I managed this but had to export the db file using sys which alleviated a priviledge problem when logging in, I have reports that run and my user can see the reports but there are reports that were not shared to sysadmin in the source enviroment are now prefixed with the version 11 user_id in my desktop and the user cannot see her reports only the sysadmin ones.
I refreshed the BA's using a shell script I made up which uses the java cmd with parameters.
After some re reading I tried selecting all the options in the validate menu and refreshing in the discover admin tool.
If I validate and refresh the BA using the admin tool I get the hanging screen and a lot of warnings that items are missing( so much for my java cmd refresh!) and now the report will not open and I see the substitute missing item dialogue boxes.
My question to the forum is which would be the best approach to migrate the entire eul from a R11 instance to a R12 instance in these circumstances?
Many thanks
Regards
Nick

Hi Srini
The os and db details are as follows:
Source:
eBus 11.5.2
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Target:
ebus 12.1.2
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production DEV12
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Yes the DBA initially did an exp for me using EUL_US as the owner but a strange thing happened with privileges and also, some of the imported tables appeared in the target environment under the apps schema(21 tables) even though the eul_us exp had been 48 tables.
I also had a problem on the db with "eul_us has insufficient privileges on table space discoverer" type errors.
I checked the eul_us db privileges and was unable to resolve this initial privilege error even though the privileges were granted to eul_us.
The dba managed to exp as system and then import it with the full=y flag in the import command which seems to bring in the privileges.
Then I ran the eul5_id.sql and then made up a list of the business areas and made a sh script to refresh the business areas as follows:
java -jar eulbuilder.jar -connect sysadmin/oracle1@dev -apps_user -apps_responsibility "System Administrator" -refresh_business_area "ABM Activities" -log refresh.log
This runs successfully and I can log in select business area and grant access to the users. The reports return data.
Then one of the users said she can't see all her reports. I noticed some if I opened desktop that were sitting there prefixed with a hash and her version 11 user id.
So back to the manuals and in the disco admin help the instructions are to first go to view > validate > select all options then go to the business area and click file refresh. This gives me a lot of warnings about items that are missing. I assume this is because the item identifiers brought across in the db dump are the version 11 ones and thus not found in the new system.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Nick

Project duplication: Copy/Paste vs. Export/Import

Anyone have any thoughts on project duplication?
Presently I am copying a project and then pasting it into multiple new locations then renaming them. Recently I was in a training session where the instructor suggested exporting the project and then importing it claiming database size savings. Can anyone shed any insight?
Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine why an export/import would be a smaller footprint within the database than a project copy/paste. Not to mention that if you are talking about a relatively large project it can take a substantial amount of time to export and import. One of our schedules that is about 18k activities takes approximately 1.5 hours to export/import where as a project copy/paste only takes about 10 minutes. Note that we do not copy the baseline schedules when replicating projects.
