Export and Import multiple playlists... HOW ???

Please help,
I'd like to move an existing itunes library over to a new Mac (without consolidating the entire old library). I copied the entire music files that used to be on three different hard drives to ONE NEW hard drive. (The old three hard drives are gone by now...)
As a result, itunes doesn't know where the music files are anymore - no surprise...
But I was able to change the main path in the itunes preferences [: under the advanced tab/iTunes Media folder location]. So far so good! iTunes can play back all the songs and finds them on the new hard drive.
BUT - all my old PLAYLISTS are gone.
I was able to do this:
- manually export an old playlist from the old computer
- open the .txt file and change the file path to the new hard drive
- import that playlist on the new computer
- VOILA - GREAT, I was able to relink the selected playlist
BUT: THERE ARE OVER 500 playlists... DOING THIS STEP ONE BY ONE will take DAYS if not WEEKS...
Is there a simple way to export all playlists at once into ONE giant text file? And then replace all the old file paths in ONE simple find/replace command... and then import ALL THESE playlists AT ONCE on the new computer???
Let me know is there is a solution... (haven't found an Automator script...)
MANY MANY thanks
P
I wanted itunes to resolve the dead-linked files. But that doesn't seem to work if you are only dealing with paths to your music files as opposed to having all your songs stored inside the itunes music folder...
I was able to just move the song links from the main music library

This was epxlained 15 months ago in this thread.
Onyour new computer, go to your itunes folder. There may already be a file with thesame name, if so, just rename it (and you can delete later). Put the new filein the folder.
Open itunes. File > library > import playlist. Navigate to this playlistand import it! They will ALL be there! It imports them all so youmay have some duplicates of the standard playlists itunes comes with but theseyou can delete.
As soon as you open iTunes, it will overwrite the .xml file you copied into the iTunes folder
Note that iTunes does not use the .xml file. It is created for other apps to use iTunes.

Interesting Problem: Songs get lost when exporting and importing a playlist

So I exported my library as a txt playlist, removed some songs, and imported that new smaller playlist, and I get the "some of the songs in the file were not imported because they could not be found."
I then exported the new playlist to compare, and there were about 200 songs that itunes wasnt able to import (even though they exist in my library). I didn't alter any of the data in the origional playlist txt doc (only deleted rows), and didn't move the files at all.
Of the files that weren't imported, I can play just fine in my Music library.
Any ideas why some of the songs exported from itunes, can't be imported as a playlist?
For troubleshooting purposes: none of the songs are protected, the largest text length in any field of the ones not imported is 195 characters, all of the songs are on a removable HDD but the HDD is connected just fine (I can see and play the songs it doesn't import back in from my library).
If this is confusing, I'll tell you what I am doing and hopefully it will make sense. I like my music labeled thusly: White Stripes, The NOT The White Stripes
The way I find to best acheive this is leave the artist field The White Stripes, but make Album Artist field White Stripes, The
So I wanted to find all the songs with artists that begin with The (and no I don't want to just search because I end up with a lot of extra stuff, and sorting by artist doesn't group all of the bands with the in the T's). So what I did was export my library as a playlist, sort by alpha in excell (where The White Stripes shows up in the T's instead of the W's), deleted everything else (except the header row of course), and tryed to import the playlist hoping I could just change stuff by selecting the playlist). But it didn't import a bunch of my songs that the program itself exported a few minutes earlier.

still curious why a playlist exported from iTunes is not always a vaild format for input back into iTunes
Not sure, but editing a playlist export and then importing the change back into iTunes is kind of dicey -- maybe you edited too much and cut off some important information? Glad that your ultimate goal has a solution though.

How to export and import dependent tables from 2 different schema

I have a setup where schema1 has table 1 and schema 2 has table2. And table 1 from schema1 depends upon table 2 from schema 2.
I would like to export and import these tables only and not any other tables from these 2 schemas with all information like grants,constraints.
Also will there be same method for Oracle 10g R1,R2 and Oracle 11G.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b10825/dp_export.htm#i1007514
Looking at this For table mode it says
Also, as in schema exports, cross-schema references are not exported
Not sure what this means.
As I am interested in only 2 tables I think I need to use table mode. But if I try to run export with both tables names, it says table mode support only one schema at a time. Not sure then How would the constraints would get exported in that case.

How to do fast export and import

i have a windows 2003 server and oracle 10.2.0.3 installed on it.
here i want to ask how i can speedup my export and import using expdp.

Hi User,

Export of Databases - reads data by running a select statement of the data and generating the DDL to perform the import process in future.
Fast Exports
1) Use direct=y
2) Until disk is not fully utilized try running exports in parallel.
3) Keep export file on different disk then the datafiles.
4) Run exports in two part rather than one i.e. 1st rows=n and second as indexes=n rows=y constraints=n.
Fast Imports
1) Use the first file out of two files created with the exports, It will insert all data but will not create any indexes and constraints. Once the data insertion is done run imp with indexfile option to extract script of index creation in text file. edit the file to include parallel clause and set parameters db_file_multiblock_read_count to 128 with sort_area_size to a higher value and workarea_size_policy=AUTO.

Separate Distribution Monitor Export and Import Processes on Multiple Machines

Hi,
Would you kindly let me know whether it is possible (means officially supported way) to run Distribution Monitor Export and Import processes on different machines?
As per SAP note 0001595840 "Using DISTMON and MIGMON on source and target systems", it says as below.
> 1. DISTMON expects the export and import to be carried out on the same server
I think it means that export and import processes for the same tables must be run on the same machine, is it correct? If yes, Export on the machine A, and then Import those exported data on the other machine B is not the officially supported way... (However, I know it is technically possible.)
Kind regards,
Yutaka

Hi Yutaka,
Point no. 2 & 3 clarify the confusion. However let me explain it briefly:
Distribution Monitor is used basically in case of migration of large SAP systems (database). It provides the feature to increase parallelism of export and import, distributing the process across available systems.
You have to prepare the system for using DistMon. A common directory needs to be created as"commDir" and in case you use multiple systems for executing more number of processes of export and import then that "commDir" should be shared across all those systems. And this is what the Point no.1 in KBA 1595840 mentions about. Distribution Monitor will run both the export and import process from the machine which is prepared for using DistMon and DistMon itself will control the other processes i.e. MigMon. No need to start separate MigMon.
For example: You are performing a migration of SAP system based on OS:AIX and DB:DB2 to OS: HP-UX and DB: Oracle. You need to perform the export using DistMon and you are having 4 Windows servers which can be used for parallel export/import. Once you have prepared the system for DistMon which hosts the "commDir" you'll have to provide the information of involved host machines in the "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file. Now when DistMon is executed it will distribute the export and import process across the systems which were defined in "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file automatically.

How to export and import complete organization structure?

Hello,
I wanna import many (maybe 300) organization XML ObjectGroups in the right order.
I tried something like that (see the code below),... but this solution only works for one file.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
<Waveset>
<ImportCommand name='include' file='c:/import/org001.xml'/>
<ImportCommand name='include' file='c:/import/org0011.xml'/>
<ImportCommand name='include' file='c:/import/org002.xml'/>
</Waveset>I tried to use wildcards like *,%,... the result is an error message :(
e.g.
file='import/org001*.xml'/>Has anyone experiences with that case?
There are an another way to export and import complete organization structure in IDM 8.x ?
greets and thx

Hi, Since you are using an program to transform the org structure to XML file,
why not write another program, just to generate the including list?
Then import from the file?
PS: How to generate the organization xml?
Some file looks like the following? But how to generate those IDs of its parent is a problem...
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE ObjectGroup PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>

How to export and import "Computer Groups" and "Patch approvals" in WSUS 4.0 ?

Hi,
I have a query regarding the export and import options for "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" in WSUS 4.0.
In WSUS 3.2 once we install WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools, we get "WSUSMigrationExport" and "WSUSMigrationImport" tools under
C:\Program Files\Update Services 3.0 API Samples and Tools\WsusMigrate\ folder.
Using the 'WSUSMigrationExport' tool we can export the Computer Groups and the Patch Approvals in a XML file. And using the 'WSUSMigrationImport' tool we can import the 'Computer Groups' and the 'Patch Approvals' from that XML file into a different WSUS
3.2 server. We can run the import tool as below:
a. Run command prompt as administrator.
b. In the command prompt, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Update Services 3.0 API Samples ans Tools\ WsusMigrate\WsusMigrationImport
c. Type WsusMigrationImport filename.xml TargetGroups None. Press enter; this will import Computer Groups to the WSUS 3.2 server.
Type WsusMigrationImport filename.xml Approvals None. Press enter; this will import "Patch Approvals" to the WSUS 3.2 server.
This is easy and useful.
Now, for WSUS 4.0 I did not find "WSUS
4.0 API Samples and Tools". So I installed "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" in my WSUS 4.0 server. And tried to import a valid XML file in the above mentioned process. But the command returned an error.
The error says the "Microsoft.UpdateService.Administration.dll" file was not found.
I further searched in the internet about this issue and I found that the "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0 as the .net framework used in "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is 2.0 and WSUS 4.0 uses .net Framework
4.5.
So, Here are my questions.
1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
I need an urgent reply. Thank you in advance.

Hi Tapojyoti,
>>1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
Yes, WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is not supported in Windows Server 2012R2 by default. We may try to rebuild it in Windows Server 2012R2. For detailed information about how the rebuiled, please refer to the readme document of the WSUS 3.0 API Samples
and Tools.
>>2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
No, I can't find the WSUS API Samples and Tools for 2012R2.
>>3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
As I have mentioned above, due to WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is released with source code, we can try to rebuild it in the Windows Server 2012R2.
If it doesn't work, as a workaround, we can configure the new WSUS server as the replica server of the existing WSUS server. After the synchronization, change the server mode to stand alone.
Best Regards.

How to export and import signatures for addon Signature Auto Paste Prefill Fourms?

Working with TB 24.7.0 and add-on Signature Auto Paste Prefill Fourms 4.2. I want to copy (export) the signatures to another computer where I want to import them.

Hi!
You can also use ALTER TABLE MOVE command, or if you are on 9i you can use DBMS_REDEFINITION package.
If you have a maintainance window the easiest way would be to use alter table move.

How I can Export and Import tables using BRTOOL ?

Dear All,
Since we upgrade the oracle from 9.0.2 to 10.2.2 we not using SAPDBA any more.
please help me if you now how to export and import tables in sapr3 using brtools?
thanks and Best regards,
Chrisna

Dear Chrisna,
first of all you should get the recent version of the BRTOOLS (currently it's BRTOOLS 7.00 (<b>26</b>)). The developers are working hard on making these tools more reliable and usable so you should not deny the improvements to yourself.
Now to your problem:
Try this call:
brspace -f tbexport -o SAPR3 -t SSF_PSE_D,SSF_PSE_H,HTTPURLLOC
You don't need to specify a tablespace; it's just a additional option to select what tables you like to export.
You may also want to check these notes for further "enlightment"

How to export and import bookmarks Firefox on N900

It's self-explanatory. I know how to export & import bookmarks with Firefox desktop. As a disabled user, the less I have to "re-invent the wheel", the better. How do I export and import bookmarks with Firefox (currently 4) on N900?

Sync is the main vector for transferring bookmarks between computers for Firefox.

If the N900 allows filesystem access the places.sqlite file could be copied from your desktop Firefox profile.

How to export and import LOB

In my user_object, I have an object_type of LOB. How do I export and import object of this type.

If you are on 10g try use data pump then you don't need to worry about anything.
If you can only use exp/imp.
You can export as usual, when import
either you have the tablespace with exact name precreated for LOB storage
or if you want to change LOB storage tablespace, you can precreate the tables having LOB type.

How to export and import the Portal Components

Hi,
I had developed few components like (Forms, Reports, Frames etc.,) in Oracle Portal release 2. Now, I need to make available all the components on my Client's machine. I like to know how to export and import these components.
If any can help in this, it will be a great help for me...
Thanks in Advance...

The migration of any Portal DB provider components, has the following steps.
Assume that you are migrating a form component form_X.
1) Click the export link of the form_x.
(this will take you to create transport screen).
2) Specify a name of the transport set which you are going to create. (eg., "My form_X transportset")
(Since the objects are migrated using a container which is in other words called as 'Transport Set').
3) In that select the export now button.
(this will mark your form component form_X for export).
4) Verify that the status of the transport is 'Extract Complete'
(check with the browse transport screen in Export/Import Portlet under Admin tab).
5) Now, the object information is extracted into transport set tables used by Portal Export/Import Utility.
6) Go to that particular transport set, (browse transport) and download the script available.
7) That script will lead you to various steps,
(create a dump ).
8) In the target instance, import that dump using the same script again.
9) Merge the contents of the dump (form_X information) into any of the application.
(Import option => in the export/import portlet under admin tab).
10) Verify that the status of the transport set is 'Merge Complete'.
Now, the object is migrated and ready for use.
(Here are explaining the export/import process in detail.
You can refer the export/import manuals.

Sudheer Hi Ravikanti,
Here are two things you can do to get started.. In 9iAS Release 2, Export/Import functionality is provided via a set of export/import utilities included with 9iAS Portal.
1) If you have not had the opportunity yet, a good place to start is to download and review the Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2.2 Export/Import FAQ posted on portalcenter.oracle.com.
Here is the URL for the Portal 9.0.2.2 Export/Import FAQ:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_1127.HTM
2) For official documentation on Portal 9.0.2 Export/Import, refer to the Task Help in the Online Documentation for Portal Import/Export (accessible from the question mark help icon within the "Browse Transport Sets" wizard.)
