Export/Import from Oracle8 to Oracle7

When I export tables from an Oracle8 database it says after exporting sucessfully: "Export done in WE8ISO8859P1 character set and WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set".
(NLS_LANG = GERMAN_GERMANY.we8iso8859p1
at both systems.)
When I try to import the dumpfile in an Oracle7 database I get an error message:
IMP-00038: Could not find environment character set handle
IMP-00021: operating system error - error code (dec 2, hex 0x2)
I don't get these errors when I export from the Oracle7 database and import to Oracle7.
What can I do to solve the problem?
Frank

For Oracle8 export dump file, there may contain new feature
for Oracle8 that cannot be recognized by Oracle 7. In order to export from
Oracle8 and import into Oracle7, Oracle8 needs to be set to Oracle7 mode so
that no new feature for Oracle8 will be export into the dump file.

Export/Import in Oracle8i to Oracle10g

Hi,
We have an Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.0.0(32 Bit) running on AIX4.3.3,we are planning to upgrade/migrate it to[b] Oracle10g running on AIX5.3.If i do an export from oracle8i whether i can import it in Oracle 10g without any issues.

Dear All,
Thanks for your efforts.
I have solved this problem and running the db in windows 2000 server without any problem.
Solution:
A tablespace should be created in the same name, size as in the solaris server. we cant transfer a tablespace created by solaris to windows. Before importing the data we need to create a tablespace and assign to the user (empuser).
here is the method that works for me.
1.GENERAL STEPS TO FOLLOW:
WINDOWS 2000 Server:
Install Oracle 9i release 1 (9.0.1.1.1) in windows 2000 server.
Create a database with following parameters;
1. Select 'General Database'
2. Global Database Name: EMP
3. SID: EMP
4. All default Options and click finish to create and start the oracle instance.
5. Login to SQL-PLUS (username: scott, Password: tiger, Hoststring: <empty>)
6. Connect as sys/change_on_install as sysdba;
7. CREATE TABLESPACE empdeploy DATAFILE 'C:\oracle\oradata\EMP\emp_data_new.dbf' SIZE 1000m AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100m MAXSIZE 2048m EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;
8. CREATE USER empuser IDENTIFIED BY emppass DEFAULT TABLESPACE EMPDEPLOY TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP;
9. GRANT DBA TO EMPUSER (Im not sure whether i given this command or not, dont use this unless u get error during import)
10. disconnect

SUN-SOLARIS 5.6 (SPARC):
It is running Oracle Enterprise edition 8.1.6.
Get the informations below,
INSTANCE NAME
SID
USER HAVING CONTROL TO THAT INSTANCE (like here it was EMPUSER)
TABLESPACES USED
TABLESPACE NAME
DATAFILE NAME and PATH
ORACLE VERSION
2.EXPORT/IMPORT PROCEDURE:
I) Exporting Database from SOLARIS SERVER:
option-1:
exp empuser/emppass
leave all default options
Select Entire database to export (option 1)
YOU SHOULD GET 'Export terminated successfully without warnings'. (Failure causes may be low disk space, ensure that u have enough disk space)
Option-2:
exp empuser/emppass
leave all default options
Enter the user name whose tables to be exported: EMPUSER
Enter the user name whose tables to be exported: <Enter-to-quit>
YOU SHOULD GET 'Export terminated successfully without warnings'.
Option-3:
exp TRIGGERS=y CONSTRAINTS=y GRANTS=y FILE=expdat.dmp
Username: EMPUSER as sysdba
Password: emppass
leave all default options
Select Entire database to export (option 1)
YOU SHOULD GET 'Export terminated successfully without warnings'.
Option-4 (99% wont Work, RISKY):
EXPORT THE TRANSPORTABLE TABLE SPACE (This is different from exporting tables/data, so if all the above fails then export the Transportable table space and import into windows probably it will fail due to platform issue and CHARACTER SET Conversion)
Now import the expdat.dmp file again and see.
Change the required TABLESPACES READ ONLY.
exp TRANSPORT_TABLESPACE=y TABLESPACES=PMTDEPLOY TRIGGERS=y CONSTRAINTS=y GRANTS=y FILE=expdat.dmp
Username: EMPUSER as sysdba
Password: emppass
YOU SHOULD GET 'Export terminated successfully without warnings'.
Now Again Change the TABLESPACES to READ WRITE. (If you forgot this production server cant able to write to the database, the database will be left in read-only mode.)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
II) TRANSFERRING EXPORTED DATA FROM SOLARIS TO WINDOWS 2000 Server.
Now from windows system,
Open command prompt.
connect to SOLARIS SERVER USING FTP.
( cd /user1/home/oracle)change to the Path where you have exported the expdat.dmp file.
set the transfer mode to binary (dont use the default ASCII Transfer Mode)
get expdat.dmp
close
quit
Now the database was successfully exported from solaris and transferred to Windows 2000 server.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
III) Importing the Database in Windows 2000 server:
Open a Command prompt,
imp FULL=y IGNORE=n
Enter User Name : empuser
Password : emppass
You should get the same messages what you got during export, with out any other warnings or big messages running in the screen.
After completion you will get,
'Import terminated successfully without warnings'.
+++++++++Now Login thru SQLPLUS using username: empuser, password: emppass++++++++++
#the following query should return the total number of tables (142 here), this should be same as what you get in solaris. If you get 'no rows selected' then the import was failed, may be take a look at creating tablespaces, or around tablespaces)
select * from tab;
142 rows selected.
A kind request:
if you got your problem solved, please update the forum / usergroup and write how you solved the problem. this might be helpful for others who may face the same trouble. for me also there was some old postings that having similar problem. but they haven't given the solution. after their problem solved just left this forums.

Database Migration 10g, difference in export/import from 8.1.6 and DBUA

i would like to know if there is any difference in migrating using export/import methods from 8.1.6 and migration using dbua from 8.1.6 -> 8.1.7 -> 10g. In terms of tablespaces, datafiles performance .
Will the DBUA convert the tablespaces automatically to take advantage of 10g ?
Thanks .

Hi,
If we refer to the Oracle doc, it's depend of your 10g release. 
Into Upgrade Paths 10.2, you need to upgrade your 8i firstly in 8.1.7.4. 
Into Upgrade Paths 10.1, you you can directly migrate. 
Anyway, you need to use 8iexp utility, and 10g imp utility : Using Different Releases of Export and Import 10.1 or Using Different Releases of Export and Import 10.2.

Export/Import from 7.5 to 7.6 and COLUMNCOMPRESSION

Hello,
I exported a content server on MaxDB 7.5, Win 32 bit, and am trying to import it to MaxDB 7.6, Win 64 bit, both with loadercli 7.6.
I am getting this error in loader.log:
// E -25345: Definitions of source and target table COMPONENTS0001 do not match;
// length type of column "NAME": source = variable length long, target = variable length
// Make sure that the database parameter COLUMNCOMPRESSION has got the same value in the source and target databases.
// If the source database version is < 7.6 and the target database version is >= 7.6, the parameter COLUMNCOMPRESSION must be set to NO in the target database..
// E -25342: Error restoring table COMPONENTS0001; table exists but source table schema and target table schema are different
However COLUMNCOMPRESSION is set to NO;
I tried restarting the system, I also tried dropping and recreating user SAPR3 in the target system, in order to switch DEFAULTCODE from ASCII to DEFAULT, as in the source system, but the same result.
_UNICODE is YES on both systems.
What could be wrong here?
regards

Hello Lars,
thanks for your help.
Yes I know that I don't need to perform the system copy via export/import. You told me so in another thread I opened some time ago.
This now is more kind of exercise, in order to learn more about various options.
I also read about upgrades in the meantime. But there also are some things that are not quite easy for our configuration; I think I will start another thread with an upgrade question soon.
And by the way, forgot to mention that I had dropped and recreated tables several times when COLUMNCOMPRESSION definitely was NO.
regards

Round trip export/import from Mac OSX iCal

Since there isn't an iSync plug-in for Oracle Calendar (yet?) I thought I'd try a round-trip import/export between Oracle Calendar and Mac OSX iCal. Inconvenient, but it should would because the UIDs in the .ics file would be the same and an import would overlay over the existing entries.
Wrong -- if I export an event from iCal, import it into Oracle Calendar, then export it again and look at the .ics file, the UID is different. Consequently, I get duplicate entries at the end of the round trip.
What good is the "U"-Unique of UID if it isn't kept consistently? From the standard: "Implementations MUST be able to receive and persist values of at least 255 characters for this property."

I've ran into an issue when exporting/importing a .csv file from OSX.And this "issue" is...?
Exporting from? Importing to?
APEX version?
Database version?
Database character set?
Database host OS and version?
EPG, OHS or OAS (and version)?
DAD character set (if any)?
OS X version?
Some, none or all of the above may or not be relevant, but without more information to go on, all you are going to get are random guesses.

Client copy (export/import) from ECC to BW

It is technically feasible to import a client exported from a NW system installed as ECC 6.0 into a NW ABAP Stack (designed to be a BW system)?

Hi,
1. SAP_ALL profile would not copied using export/import method (SAP ECC --> BW ABAP) as most of the tables of ECC are not present in BW (mismatch of data dictionary structure).
2. You can copy SAP_USER (user master record)
3. If your ECC and BW systems are not in same transport landscape/shared transport directory (trans group), then copy/ftp the export files from ECC (data and cofile) to BW system (same path - usr/sap/trans) and add the transport requests manually to import buffer of target system/client.

Editing contacts in gmail after export/import from Palm Desktop is a messy affair

So far, from what I can see, my contacts are synchronizing well between the Pre and my gmail contacts list. Being easily amused, I guess it's pretty slick the way it works. But exporting them from Palm Desktop and importing them into the gmail contacts list was just a jumbled mess. Almost none of the actual fields from PD mapped correctly to the gmail fields, so all of my info got lumped into the "notes" field in gmail.
It's easier and faster to edit them in gmail than on the Pre, so that's what I've been doing...fixing about 300 contacts one at a time. You can cut/copy/paste the info from the notes field into the correct data field. But there's one really weird thing that happens if you try to drag-and-drop info, say a telephone number or an address, from the notes field into its own field above. The data appears to move over. But once you save the change, anything you dragged into its own field disappears. Trying to go through the list quickly, I didn't notice this strangeness until I had gone through a large enough number of my contacts to really make me swear.

smkranz,
I had a similar mess to clean up. I figured that Google's contacts would work better with an import from Outlook and a direct export from Palm Desktop 4.x or 6.x. I used Chapura's Pocket Copy to push my Palm Desktop 4.2 data into Outlook, and then exported my data from Outlook and into Google contacts. I followed Google's directions for that part. I still had to review my 400 or so contacts and do some mop up, but it wasn't a total train wreck.
Glad to hear that you did get a Pre. Welcome to the club. Now we have to work on WyreNut.

To do a proper upgrade, I would go through the Upgrade Guide make sure my server hardware and configuration met pre-requirement, there's no compatibility issue between my applications and newly upgraded server etc.
The Guide is very detailed and thorough.
I really don't think there's a document that is both simple and in details.
The upgrade guide even has a section specially talk about export/import option

Export/Import from Memory

Sometimes after I export from one program, user exit, etc., then I import in another program, user exit, etc. the field value does not show up. It is usually in two totally unrelated programs, or other, that are in different function groups, but sometimes it works? I need to capture a value in a PAI screen, that later goes into another user exit. Has anyone had this issue with Import/Export? Is there another way I can tru to pass this parameter to the second program?
Thank-You.

Hi TMM,
You have to consider that the Memory Variables from Program 1 will be released if the session is over and that's why maybe our Program 2 might not get them correctly. If that is the scenario you will need to save your data in maybe a table then use it in program 2.

Export/Import From Motion to FCP

Hello
I'm new to this forum and have just recently begun working in the film and video industry. I am also new to the Apple community. So please excuse any misuse of terms as am not fully integrated into the business yet. I have created a background that has a lot of motion as well as an emitter in it and duplicating the sequence didn't seem to be the way to go. So I looped the sequence to run for 90 minutes. I am trying to decide if there is a need to export the file from motion as a quicktime file or should I just import the motion document into FCP and overlay my text elements (also created in motion) on V2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way thanks to Patrick for all you great "fun with" projects they have been a great help in learning Motion.

Thanks for your input. What I'm building is a sponsor loop for a banquet. I needed a 90 minute graphics bed over which to apply my text and logo elements. I ended up modify and existing 15 sec clip from the motion library tossing in an emitter and looping it for 90 minutes.
The problem was the sheer size of the file and the time it took to render if FCP. I ended up exporting the file as an 8 bit uncompressed QT movie so I wouldn't have to rerender it in FCP. It took about 2 1/2 hours but in the end it worked out.
Here is a follow up question. I have finished the text and logo element that goes over the bed but when the time comes to import the Motion file into FCP I have to render every time I put it into the timeline. I realize that the first time it appears it's necessary but is there a way to get around that having to let the thing render over night as this clip will be copied 44 times and each copy takes about 6 minutes to render.
I was thinking about exporting it as a QT file from motion just like the background but then I can't get the title sequence to appear over the backgound the way I would like as a QT element compared to Motion element. Tranparency issues.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Integration console is hung when trying to export/import from/to catalog

Hi,
When i try to export or import models from/to catalog the eis console is hung and not responding...i am not sure if it has to do something with java variable.. i would request you to share your thoughts in this regard.
Thanks,
Praveen

I am exporting the file from TxEIS (in the Firefox web browser) and it does not download properly. Acccording to Firefox documentation, it is supposed to automatically recognize the file extension. I have not experienced this on any other machine within our environment. Other users are performing this same process with no problems. The browers settings are exactly the same as the machines that are working right.

Export/import from solaris to linux endianess

Good Morning,
At work we are in the process of switching over from Solaris operating system to Linux o/s for our database. I had been reading about this endianess where Solaris is identified as a "big endian" and the Linux is a "small endian" structure. It has to do with the way files are loaded into memory.
My question is will this change in endian have any effect on the export from Solaris and import to Linux?
I can't seem to find any documentation on this subject. My hunch says 'no' but I would like to get a second opinion.
Thanks in advance for help on this question.
Regards,
al

Hi,
Yes as DK already said a datapump export is a logical backup so instead of you copying datafiles which contain blocks fomatted in the endianess of the operating system you are just copying files which contain a series of commands to recreate all the objects in the database. You can think of an export file as containing something like the following:
create tablespace xx;
create user xx;
create table xx;
insert into xx values (yy);
create index zz on xx;
etc
So this file can be loaded into any platform - it doesn't care.

Harry

Hi,
We can get the log files for the actions that happen during the import / export via Import Wizard.
Complete these steps to create a log file:
1. Create the following Windows system variables:
BO_TRACE_CONFIGDIR = C:\Botrace
BO_TRACE_CONFIGFILE = C:\Botrace\BO_trace.ini
BO_TRACE_LOGDIR = C:\Botrace
2. Copy the BO_trace.ini file to the c:\Botrace folder.
3. Run the Import Wizard and then view the BO_trace.ini file in the c:\Botrace folder.
Additional Information
The following are the default values in the BO_trace.ini file:
active = true;

Export / Import from Memory in background.

Hi,
I have a trouble and I dont know very well how to solve it.
I have a Z report running in background, and this report uses a SUBMIT to call another one.
Before the SUBMIT, there is an EXPORT to memory sentence; and the second report read this memory cluster and works with the data; but it doesnt work.
When I execute online, there is no problem, and the 2nd report shows an ALV with data exported in 1st report, but in background, nothing is shown.
Could you give me some help?
A lot of thanks!

Hello Alvaro,
This is simple. There are two types of memories in SAP. ABAP and SAP memory. These memories have some properties. ABAP memory remains active as long as the program is in the same session. When ever there is a new session the old ABAP memory get refreshed, and a new ABAP memory comes into picture.
In your case, before submitting the program to some other program you are exporting the value. Export will transfer the value to the ABAP memory. And after that you are submitting the program so a new session is being created and the ABAP memory is refreshed and so when you import that value you will get nothing.
So in order to solve the matter. Find a data element whose parameter ID you can set or you can create a custom data element witha custom parameter id and use that parameter id. Use the GET / SET parameter id to set or get the values. In that case the value is being stored at the SAP memory instead of ABAP memory.
You can have a look the following site for the custom parameter ID creation:
http://www.****************/Tutorials/ABAP/ParameterID/custom.htm
Rewards points if found useful.
Regards.
Abhijit.

Export/import from ant

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you sages were aware of any ant tasks that would allows us to export an "exploded" project directory structure into an export (.exp file), and conversely, take an export file, and expand it to the proper exploded directory structure?
The reason I'm curious is that I'm trying to setup a Continuous Build/Integration system for all of our projects (30+ projects, 70+ processes, 10~ developers - you get the idea!). As part of that, I'm hoping that I can automate a few build/deployment steps. The vision is that whenever a developer commits a file to the Source-Control system, an ant task will kick-in, pull in all the contents of the exploded directory structure, compile it (report errors to the developer), bundle it into an export file, append a timestamp to the export file, and commit the export file to a separate repository.
Glossing over the available ant tasks left me thinking I'm probably dreaming up too much.
Thanks
-Wali

Hi Wali
It's intresting question, currently I am using ant tasks to build the FDI directory, engine DB, Publish / un-publish the projects.
But I think currently there is no ant task to fullfill your requirement.
Let's see ..we may get any useful comments on this.
Thanks
