Export and Import Application

Question

Greetings,
I have created a Portal30 application that includes several forms, reports, and charts. Now I want to duplicate for another schema in the same database. I export the application in Navigator under applications.
Then I use Sqlplus 8.1.7. to import. There doesn't seem to be any documentation for the import step, so I have questions for anyone that has successfully done this:
1. Who do I logon as for the import? Portal30 or the new application owner.
2. I get prompted for login user name and password. Is this Portal30, Portal30_SSO, the user I logged on as to do the import, the new application owner, or the old application owner?
3. I have taken several guesses and run the CHECK mode, which returns the following message:
...Checking component: ID = 1143586401 Name = LOC_RPT Owner = NEW_APP Type = REPORT
*** WARNING ***
ID 1143586401 already exists: owner = OLD_APP, name = LOC_RPT, type = REPORT
==> Import will fail
4. CHECK is correct, when I try to run in CREATE mode I get:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL30.WWPRO_API_PROVIDER_REGISTRY", line 255
ORA-00001: unique constraint (PORTAL30.WWPRO_PROVIDERS_UK1) violated
Thus, the import isn't clever enough to assign a new component id.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Dear Balaji!
Is there a way to export forms and reports with PL/SQL? The manually export is very slow with 100 forms to copy (to another location, another database).
Thanx,
Gyorgy

Trenton,
You cannot export/import an application in th e same portal instance. As Import does not create a new component Id, it will give you error if you try to import a component in the same portal instance.
If you want to duplicate the application, I suggest you to create another application based on different schema and copy the components (one at a time) into this application.
For copying click on the Manage tab of the component and click on the copy link. Specify the target application and component name.
In general while importing an application/component you need to specify the following parameters:
1 : import mode CHECK or CREATE
2 : portal schema (Portal Instance Name)
3 : login user name
4 : login user password
(Portal User name and password who has sufficient privilege to import the application);
5 : application schema (Name of the schema on which the application will be created)
6 : application name (New name of the application/component)
7 : log file
Hope this helps
