Exp/Imp between different OS

Hi,
Could someone please help me clarify that is exp/imp between different OS possible(eg. exp in wind2000 and then imp in Unix)?
Thanks

This reply may be a bit late but I just saw your Q:
The answer is Yes, of course you in imp/exp between different OS, just ensure to transfer the dmp file(the export output) in Binary mode between different OS.

Full database exp/imp between RAC and single database

Hi Experts,
we have a RAC database oracle 10GR2 with 4 node in linux. i try to duplicate rac database into single instance window database.
there are same version both database. during importing, I need to create 4 undo tablespace to keep imp processing.
How to keep one undo tablespace in single instance database?
any experience of exp/imp RAC database into single instance database to share with me?
Thanks

JIm,
I also want to know can we add the exclude=tablespace on the impdp command for full database exp/imp?You can't use exclude=tablespace on exp/imp. It is for datapump expdp/impdp only.
I am very insteresting in your recommadition.
But for a full database impdp, how to exclude a table during full database imp? May I have a example for this case?
I used a expdp for full database exp. but I got a exp error in expdp log as ORA-31679: Table data object "SALE"."TOAD_PLAN_TABLE" has long columns, and longs can not >be loaded/unloaded using a network linkHaving long columns in a table means that it can't be exported/imported over a network link. To exclude this, you can use the exclude expression:
expdp user/password exclude=TABLE:"= 'SALES'" ...
This will exclude all tables named sales. If you have that table in schema scott and then in schema blake, it will exclude both of them. The error that you are getting is not a fatal error, but that table will not be exported/imported.
the final message as
Master table "SYSTEM"."SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01" successfully loaded/unloaded
Dump file set for SYSTEM.SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01 is:
F:\ORACLEBACKUP\SALEFULL091113.DMP
Job "SYSTEM"."SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01" completed with 1 error(s) at 16:50:26Yes, the fact that it did not export one table does not make the job fail, it will continue on exporting all other objects.
. I drop database that gerenated a expdp dump file.
and recreate blank database and then impdp again.
But I got lots of error as
ORA-39151: Table "SYSMAN"."MGMT_ARU_OUI_COMPONENTS" exists. All dependent metadata and data will be skipped due to table_exists_action of skip
ORA-39151: Table "SYSMAN"."MGMT_BUG_ADVISORY" exists. All dependent metadata and data will be skipped due to table_exists_action of skip
......ORA-31684: Object type TYPE_BODY:"SYSMAN"."MGMT_THRESHOLD" already exists
ORA-39111: Dependent object type TRIGGER:"SYSMAN"."SEV_ANNOTATION_INSERT_TR" skipped, base object type VIEW:"SYSMAN"."MGMT_SEVERITY_ANNOTATION" >already exists
and last line as
Job "SYSTEM"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01" completed with 2581 error(s) at 11:54:57Yes, even though you think you have an empty database, if you have installed any apps or anything, it may create tables that could exist in your dumpfile. If you know that you want the tables from the dumpfile and not the existing ones in the database, then you can use this on the impdp command:
impdp user/password table_exists_action=replace ...
If a table that is being imported exists, DataPump will detect this, drop the table, then create the table. Then all of the dependent objects will be created. If you don't then the table and all of it's dependent objects will be skipped, (which is the default).
There are 4 options with table_exists_action
replace - I described above
skip - default, means skip the table and dependent objects like indexes, index statistics, table statistics, etc
append - keep the existing table and append the data to it, but skip dependent objects
truncate - truncate the existing table and add the data from the dumpfile, but skip dependent objects.
Hope this helps.

Exp/imp between 10g and 9i

Hi Gurus,
In project we would like to transfer data from oracle 10g to 8i.
Option selected in exp data from 10g and import to 9i.
From 9i again export and import to 8i.
Is there any issue between 10g and 9i and 9i to 8i ?
Will normal exp file will work in 9i from 10g ?

Problem with ORA-06502 when exp/imp between two identical versions

Hi
I have two identical systems, one system that I develop on and
the test system. The two systems have the same version of the
Portal. When I export and then import the application from the
systems I get a error message on the test system.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number
conversion error (WWV-11230)
This error does not appear on the developing system.
The application I have is a form on a table, and I have some
buttons with PL/SQL handels on them. I tried to remove this code
and export with no luck.
Please help.
The system:
Windows NT
Oracle Portal 3.0.8.9.8
Thanks
Jvrgen Swensen

Could you pls confirm : Have you exported & Imported the shared
components used by that form?
If you are not too worried about the templates/fonts then try
this:
Click on "Edit" link against that form and click "OK".
Thanx,
Chetan.

How to exp/imp both diff character set tables between in DB1 and DB2?

In the Solaris 2.7 ,the oracle 8i DB1 has NLS_CHARACTERSET
ZHS16CGB231280 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET ZHS16CGB231280
character set.
In other linux7.2 system ,the oracle 8i DB2 is install into the
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII and NLS_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
character set.
The tables contents of DB1 have some chinese. I want to exp/imp
tables of DB1 into DB2 . But the chinese can't correct display
in the SQLWheet tools. How do the Exp/Imp operation ? ples help
me . thanks .

The supported way to store GB231280-encoded characters is using a ZHS16CGB231280 database or a database created using a superset of GB231280 ,such as UTF8 .Can you not upgrade your target database from US7ASCII to ZHS16CGB231280 ?
With US7ASCII and NLS_LANG set to US7ASCII , you are using the garbage in garbage out (GIGO) approach. This may seem to work but there are many hidden problems :-
1. Invalid SQL String Function behaviours - LENGTH ( ) , SUBSTR ( ) , INSTR ( )
2. Data can be corrupted when data is loaded into another database. e.g. EXP / IMP , Dblinks
3. Communication with other clients will generate incorrect results. e.g. other Oracle products - Oracle Text, Forms. , Java , HTML etc.
4. Linguistic sorts not available
5. Query using the standard WHERE clause may return incorrect results ..
6. Extra coding overhead in handling character conversions manually.
I recommend you to check out the FAQ and the DB Character set migration guide on the Globalization Support forum on OTN.

Import/Export between different Portal versions

Hi, is there any resonable argument for not allowing imp/exp between different version? The thing is a developed a Page Group on a 9i AS and now need to export it to a 10g AS. It reasonable to think that an imp/exp machanism should exist, at least, for the latest version.

Hi there,
Yes, there is a reasonable argument for that and that is that the export code will be different from the import code. This means that alterations to the code in order to be more flexible or to even fix an issue, for example, on the export won't be in-place. Now when you'll try to import with the different code this certainly will clash your system (as the problem may already be within the DMP file that you've exported).
Although your request does make sense the implementation part is not that easy to be done.
I hope it helps you to better understand the constraints...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Copy Page/region (incl. elements...) to application ( using exp/imp page) ?

question and enhancement request(!) -
some customers/prospects claim teamworking / reusable components. goal is to use a page (including its components like regions,processes,items,...) in another application - could realized by exp/imp if we can do it.
This would improve reusability and also teamworking.
I work together with a collegue on an application at htmldb.oracle.com. We exported the appl. and work on our local databases at different tasks by different pages.
But how we can reimport our results?

Lutz,
It's kind of difficult, but Raj described a procedure here: Synonyms
We are aware of the potential value of being able to copy pages between applications and are looking at ways to provide that in future versions of HTML DB.

Exp/Imp with tablespace autocreate?

Hello dear community,
I've got a question about backup with exp/imp. It's not about RMAN, but nevertheless I hope it's the right board.
Is there a command to tell imp to automatically create a specified tablespace from a dumpfile?
For exp I use:
exp.exe user/pass tablespaces=test file=FILE.DMP
For imp I use:
imp.exe user/pass tablespaces=test file=FILE.DMP
Now, if I drop the tablespace between exp and imp, so imp can't restore it. There I manually have to create the specified tablespace first. It would be nice, if there is a way that imp creates the tablespace if it is not present.
Are there maybe some parameter like "autocreate" and "use datafile=..." and so on?
Thanks for help,
best regards,
Ronny

Transportable Tablespaces is a seperate feature whereby you take a physical
copy of tablespace datafiles and "plug" them into the target database.
That is different from taking a logical export dump.
With export dumps, the only way to get the tablespace created is in a FULL
export and import. The CREATE TABLESPACE commands are written into
the dmp file only when a FULL export is done. At import time, you can choose
to import a specific schema in which case, the CREATE TABLESPACE
commands are not executed by import (they must be precreated). So,
CREATE TABLESPACE is executed only when you do a FULL import as well.
Note that this {obviously} creates the same datafile names (including physical
paths) and sizes as existant in the source database. That may or may not
meet your requirements on occassion (eg different filesystem structure,
different sizes planned in the target database).

Running OMBPlus and EXP/IMP in mixed version environment

OWB Mixed Environment Guru's
Current environment:
OWB Client: 10.1.0.2.0 on Windows XP Professional
OWB Server side: 10.1.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Repository: Oracle 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
UNIX Listener: 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Runtime Repository: Oracle 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
I call this a mixed environment since my OWB stuff is 10g and my database stuff is 9.2.
Issues:
1- I can't get the command line exp.sh script to connect to the repository and returns the famous 'ORA-12154, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor'. It looks like the 'owbsetenv.sh' script is changing the value of $ORACLE_HOME to point to the 10g areas. Could that be then causing the system to look for a 10g LISTENER which doesn't exist since all my databases are 9.2.0.4???
2- I have the same issue trying to run OMBPlus.sh.
I am ultimately trying to set up a promotion process using the UNIX command line programs (exp/imp and OMBPlus) to get objects from the TEST environment into the PRODUCTION environment which is a separate repository and target schema on a different machine.
Any advice on how to successfully operate in this 'mixed' environment is most welcomed.
Many thanks!
Gary

Well it looks like I did it again!
Total brain fart.
The problem turned out that I wasn't specifying the entire SERVICE_NAME for the repository database. I had been leaving off the domain information. Must be a habit from not having to use it in the TNSNAMES.ORA files.
I was able to compelte my test export and connect to OMBPLUS and will now try my test import.
Sorry to clutter the forum but if it helps anyone else with the same affliction I seem to have frequently, I guess that's a small reward.
Until next time.

Migrate oracle 9207 DB 8 TB size frm Solaris to AIX?dont want Exp/Imp

Hi Guys,PLz help
I want migrate 8TB oracle database from Solaris 8 to AIX 5.
In my last post on the same topic I was told to refer Metalink notes
291024.1,Note:77523.1,Note:277650.1
acc to these notes 'EXPORT/IMPORT IS THE ONLY OPTION TO MIGRATE FROM SOLARIS TO AIX'.
I was not convinced as In http://dba.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=9523
I read
"As both solaris and AIX are UNIX O/S, cloning the DB is also possible from source box to target box"
Also
whats the role of "If the endianness is the same"??????
Can you guys plz comment on this again.....as I'm really confused because exp/imp of 8TB
is going to take half of my life :)
PLz tell in any other option in 9.2.0.7?If we have
Thanx

You can do
SELECT PLATFORM_NAME, ENDIAN_FORMAT
FROM V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORMto check endianness of different platform.
-- Note, the view is only on 10g and above.
datafiles from different endian format can't be directly copied over and use. On 10g you have option to use RMAN convert endianness.
with that said, since Solaris and AIX are all big engianness. That means you can directly copy datafiles over and clone database without using exp/imp.
this article has a list of how to clone

Refresh database through exp/imp

version 10203 on windows (old db on solaris 8170)
i Have to refresh database data, No of users/schemas are 400+. fastest way to do that would be to do full exp/imp.
but 1st drop current users cascade. (any command to drop all users in with one command?)
then validate all all tables/schemas are same & up-to-date( any suggestion to validate this efficiently?) i am thinking to check full exp logs on old & new db.(what that can take forever manually going through thousands of tables etc)

First, make sure that statistics are properly gathered in both the old and the new DB.
Next, use num_rows column in dba_tables. Since statistics are typically gathered by sampling, they would not necessarily match. They need to be quite close though.
After you are sure that all objects were transferred, you can issue a query to find all tables with “invalid” number of records.
The query can look something like this:
select s.owner, d.table_name , d.num_rows
from dba_tables d
where d.owner not in (‘SYS’,’SYSTEM’,…)
and not exists
           (select * from dba_tables@old_db s
          Where d.owner = s.owner
          And d.table_name = s.table_name
          And s.num_rows between 0.9*d.num_rows and 1.1*d.num_rows
          )You need to take care of some special cases, such as num_rows being NULL, partitioned tables, etc.

Exp/imp, but packages are missing

Hi there,
exported everything from a schema in a O8 database into a dump file using the exp command. Afterwards I tried to import the schema into my local O10 XE database. Tables, Triggers and so on were imported fine, but the packages are missing (and since Triggers call functions in these packages, compiling them fails). Is this behaviour normal?? I'm pretty sure, that the packages were exported into the dump-file, but I can't figure out a way importing them explicitly.
So if anyone has an idea, I would be glad to know...
Regards,
Daniel

Is this behaviour normal??I don't think so. Apart from checking Metalink Note:132904.1 - Compatibility Matrix for Export & Import Between Different Oracle Versions, you could try to repeat the import operation using ROWS=N and IGNORE=Y options.

Exp imp - 10.2.0.1 - 10.2.0.4

Hello,
i want to ask if it is possible to export schema from Oracle DB 10.2.0.1 using exp utility and import it using imp into another Oracle DB 10.2.0.4? Do I have to run some upgrade scripts? What is the best procedure to accomplish this?
Thank you

Always use the lowest version of the exp utility between source and target databases.
Use the target version for imp utility.
Between your versions (only patchset differ), there should not have any issues.
Nicolas.

How exp/imp behave

how exp/imp utility will behave when i'll try to migrate data from oracle 8i to 10g when the platform and file system will be different.
what should be the procedure to that?

Ive had to do this recently. You just need to use the 8i exp from the 8i Oracle home for the 8i database to create your dump file. Then, use the 10g imp from the 10g Oracle home to import the dump file into your 10g database. Import is backwards compatible it will read dump files created by older versions of export. And this is the best way to move from one platform to another.

HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library. I could not get this to work per the instructions.

I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203. My iTunes library is on an external drive. I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions?

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.
