Export / Import of Apex Data

Hello,
We are planning to move our Oracle databases from Windows Servers to Linux ones. In a test lab, we have successfully exported all data from an Oracle DB instance on Windows and imported that data on an Oracle DB instance on Linux (with the old export/import Oracle tool)
But in fact...it was all data except Apex data. The complete Apex environment is available on our new Linux server but no trace of all our workspaces and applications. The only available workspace is Internal.
We do not want to export / import all workspaces, applications, images and files one by one (by hand on the Apex environment).
- Is there a particular method to follow to include the Apex data in the export / import process ?
OR
- Is there a trick or a utility program that can automate the export / import of Apex data ?
Thank you for your help.
- Patrice

Patrice,
There is an Apex utility (it's called ApexExport) that can be setup to run workspace, application and page exports. It's a Java based utility and sometimes can be a little maddening to get configured to run but it will do the job once you get it configured. The utility will be on the database machine in the Apex installation directory. There is pretty good documentation available from Oracle but John Scott blogged about it here http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/12/12/backing-up-your-applications/ as well.

Using export/import to migrate data from 8i to 9i

We are trying to migrate all data from 8i database to 9i database. We plan to migrate the data using export/import utility so that we can have the current 8i database intact. And also the 8i and 9i database will reside on the same machine. Our 8i database size is around 300GB.
We plan to follow below steps :
Export data from 8i
Install 9i
Create tablespaces
Create schema and tables
create user (user used for exporting data)
Import data in 9i
Please let me know if below par file is correct for the export :
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=y
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE
TRIGGERS=y
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
Thanks,
Vinod Bhansali

I recommend you to change some parameters and remove
others:
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y -- This will increase better storage
structure ( It is good )
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=n -- if you set that parameter in yes you
can have problems with some objects
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y -- ( start the database in restrict
mode and do not set this param )
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TRIGGERS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
you can see what parameters are not needed if you apply
this command:

Export & Import internal table data across the programs

Hi All,
I have two different reports,let say ZPRO1 & ZPRO2. I want to export internal table data of ZPRO1 to ZPRO2 and then I want to do some calculations in ZPRO2 with the imported internal table data(ZPRO1).
If I use 'SUBMIT' or CALL TRANSACTION syntax ZPRO1 is displaying..but I want to use only internal table data of ZPRO1.
Pls advise.
Pranitha.

Hi,
Please follow the simple code and try to solve your issue.
Code in program1
types: begin of ty_itab,
       matnr type matnr,
       end of ty_itab.
data: it_itab type table of ty_itab,
      wa_itab type ty_itab,
      it_itab1 type table of ty_itab.
select matnr from mara into table it_itab.
export it_itab to shared buffer indx(st) id 'ABC'.
Code in program2
types: begin of ty_itab,
       matnr type matnr,
       end of ty_itab.
data: it_itab type table of ty_itab,
      wa_itab type ty_itab.
import it_itab from shared buffer indx(st) id 'ABC'.
loop at it_itab into wa_itab.
write:/ wa_itab-matnr.
endloop.
Please delete shared buffer indx(st) id 'ABC', once we don't need the internal table data.

Command Line Export/Import for ApEx

Hi There,
I was wondering if there is an ApEx Utility that allows the Export and Import of applications/pages/images/style sheets etc from the command line on a Linux box.
I am using Oracle Application Express v3.0.1
Thanks.
Tony.

Tony,
Another post in the past has discussed about this already.
Exporting/Importing a *Bunch* of Applications
John Scott wrote a blog post about this as well at [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/12/12/backing-up-your-applications/|http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/12/12/backing-up-your-applications/]
In short, you can use APEX utility - APEXExport to export and standard SQL to import.

Export / Import --- Encrypt the data

Hi,
Is it posible to encrypt some data in a table during export/import in oracle 9i database (not in 10g)?
Best regards
RajaBaskar

The main reason why people assume there are undocumented features, is because they can't be bothered to adhere to the Forums Etiquette and read the documentation prior to asking their doc question.I do not see a reason to be so rude on this. If every person reads all the documentation and uses all the features of Support services or is aware of those then we do not need these forums at all.
I mean no offence and I agree with you in lot of other cases when people just come up with unnecessary posts but this one I see as a legitimate issue which lot of dbas find in their normal work life when they have to send an export dump to a partner outside their network and the export contains sensitive data.
Thanks,
Ankit.

SUBMIT/EXPORT/IMPORT/ Specific layout data

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if we can import the data (specific layout) after using submit and export.
My requirement is iam submitting RFITEMGL(FBL3N), exporting the list to memory and importing into my program. The data i am getting is as displayed just as when we run fbl3n independently.
Now in FBL3N, i can display posting date( which is not on standard display) by selecting change layout (CTRL+F8) and selecting specific field for dispaly.
My requirement is I need that posting date in my program by using submit/export/import.
Is it possible anyway?

Hi,
I have a similar requirement.Can u pls let me know how did u resolve it?

How to export & import interface type data object to memory

Hi experts,
My greetings to all.
we have came across a situation where we need to pass interface type data object to memory
and import same from memory.
DATA context TYPE REF TO if_timecontext.
its not possible with regular export statement.
is their any other way to do it?
Thanks in advanced,
Sudhir

Thank you saurabhmani & sandra.
@ saurabhmani : i tried assigning object context to memory (field-symbol) and exporting it to memory, but got runtime error.
@sandra : XML serialization & shared object concept sounds intresting but as you already checked that interface IF_TIMECONTEXT is missing the required IF_SERIALIZABLE_OBJECT interface.
Istead of exporting context data object to memory we tried different approch and it worked out for our requirement

I try to export a table by using the HANA Studio on the client PC.
but does not work.
the following steps:
HANA Studio
<table> > Export > Select tables for export > Next >
Error message : "Choose a location"
There is the question
Export possible? HANA database table by using client PC(HANA Studio).
Best regards,

Hi Hosoya,
Which version of the HANA server/studio you are using? I checked in Revision 24 and was able to do the table export as follows:
Quick Launch>Export>SAP HANA Studio>Tables>'Select the server'>'Select the table'>Export table options
In Export Table options screen we can specify either the Server Location as 'Export Tables on Server' or to the client location
as 'Export tables to current client'
Note: The server and studio I use are on different servers.

EXPORT/IMPORT Q & A

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-04-08
EXPORT/IMPORT Q & A
===================
PURPOSE
다음은 EXPORT와 IMPORT에 관한 주요 질문과 답변에 관한 내용이다.
Explanation
[질문1] RDBMS와 EXPORT, IMPORT의 연관 관계는(catexp.sql 이란)?
Export, Import시 이미 생성된 OBJECT의 정보를 데이타 딕셔너리에서 쿼리를
하는데 이러한 OBJECT의 정보가 data dictionary내의 여러 테이블에 나누어져 있다.
필요한 데이타 딕셔너리 정보를 편리하게 이용하기 위해 여러 가지의 뷰를
catexp.sql에 Script되어 있다.
이 스크립트 화일은 $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin에 있으며 Install시 수행되도록
되어 있다.
[질문2] Export 시 OBJECT의 백업 순서는 있는가 ?
Export하는 OBJECT의 순서는 존재하며 이는 Oracle의 Version Up 등에 의한
새로운 OBJECT가 만들어지거나 하면 Export되는 OBJECT의 순서는 변할 수 있다.
OBJECT의 Export순서는 다음과 같다.
1. Tablespaces
2. Profiles
3. Users
4. Roles
5. System Privilege Grants
6. Role Grants
7. Default Roles
8. Tablespace Quotas
9. Resource Costs
10. Rollback Segments
11. Database Links
12. Sequences( includes Grants )
13. Snapshots ( includes grants, auditing )
14. Snapshot logs
15. Job Queues
16. Refresh Groups
17. Cluster Definitions
18. Tables(includes grants,column grants,comments,indexes,
constraints,auditing)
19. Referential Integrity
20. POSTTABLES actions
21. Synonyms
22. Views
23. Stored Procedures
24. Triggers
25. Default and System Auditing
[질문3] Export 시 BUFFER와 RECORDLENGTH는 무엇인가?
-BUFFER
Export시 OBJECT 내에 있는 여러 개의 Row가 한꺼번에 Fetch된다.
디스크에서 Fetch된 정보는 화일에 Write하기 전에 메모리를 거치게 되며,
이때 할당되는 메모리의 양이 Buffer 파라미터의 값이다.
-RECORDLENGTH
메모리에 있는 Export할 자료를 화일에 Write하기 위해 한번에 운반되는
양을 결정하는 파라미터이다.
[주의] 위의 BUFFER와 RECORDLENGTH는 O/S의 Block Size의 배수가 되도록
하는 것이 효율적이다.
[질문4] 다량의 Row를 Export, Import 시 어느 정도의 Row가 처리되었는지
알수 있는가?
알 수 있다. V 7.1까지는 다량의 Row를 Export, Import시 처리된 정도를 알
수가 없어 현재 작업 중인지 시스템이 Hang인지 파악되지 않았으나 V 7.2
부터는 FEEDBACK이라는 옵션을 이용하여 체크가 가능하다.
[질문5] Export 시 한번에 몇 개의 Row가 Fetch되는가?
한번에 Fetch되는 Row의 수는 Buffer Size와 연관 관계가 있다. 하나의 row가
Export 시 차지하는 양은 (각 Column Size의 합) + 4*(Column의 수)로 구할 수
있다. 한번 Fetch되는 Row의 수는 Buffer Size / 한 Row의 Export시 Size이다.
이를 이용하면 Export된 Output File의 Size는 대략 한 Row의 Export 시
Size * Row 수 이다.
[질문6] Export, Import의 호환성은 어떻게 되는가?
Export, Import의 호환성은 Oracle의 버젼과 직접적인 연관관계를 갖고 있다.
호환성은 4가지로 나누어 설명할 수 있으며 이를 아래의 가정을 이용해
설명하겠다.
가령 A라는 기계에 Oracle V 7.0, B 라는 기계에 Oracle V 7.1이 설치되어
운영 중이라 가정하자.
Oracle V7.0을 X라 하고 Oracle V7.1을 Y라고 하자.
- Base Compatibility : X의 exp를 이용해 X DB를 export하여 X의 imp를
이용해 X DB에 import하는 것을 말한다. 이는 당연히 지원한다.
- Upward Compatibility : X의 exp를 이용해 X DB를 export하여 Y DB에 Y의
imp를 이용해 import하는 것을 말한다.
이도 Oracle에서는 지원한다.
- Downward Compatibility : Y exp를 이용해 Y DB를 export하여 X DB에 X의
imp로 import하는 것을 말한다.
이는 지원될 수도 안될 수도 있다.
- Cross Compatibility : X exp를 이용해 Y DB를 export(SQL*Net 이용)하여
X 또는 Y DB에 import(imp는 적정한 것을 활용)하는 것을 말한다.
이는 지원될 수도 안될 수도 있다.
[질문7] 어떤 경우에 Downward Compatibility가 실패하는가?
V7.2에 hash cluster expressions라는 옵션이 있는데, 이를 이용해서 클러스터를
생성하여 사용 후 export한 것을 V7.0 또는 V7.1로 downward시 create cluster문에
옵션이 맞지않아 실패하게 된다.
[질문8] EXP-37 에러(export views not compatible with database version)
발생의 원인은 무엇인가 ?
이 에러는 Cross Compatibility에서 발생하는 문제로 이는 Export가 이용
하는 View(Catexp.sql에 의해 생성된)가 Oracle Version내에 일치하지 않아
발생한 문제로 이를 해결하기 위해 Exp에서 이용 가능한 View를 설치한다.
[질문9] Full Export는 DBA 권한을 갖고 있는 유저만 할 수 있는가 ?
Version 6 에서는 DBA권한을 갖고 있는 유저만 Full Export를 할 수 있으며,
V7에서는 DBA가 아니더라도 EXP_FULL_DATABASE Role이 Grant되면 Full
Export가 가능하다.
[질문10] 테이블 Import 시에 DEFAULT tablespace가 아닌 곳으로 들어가는 경우는
왜 발생하는가?
예를 들어서 scott 유저의 DEFAULT TABLESPACE가 users 인데 임포트를 해보면
tools TABLESPACE에 테이블이 만들어졌다고 하자. 그 이유는 다음과 같다.
즉, 임포트 하는 테이블이 원래 tools TABLESPACE에 있었고 scott가 현재
tools 테이블스페이스에 대한 Quota 를 가지고 있거나 아니면 Unlimited
Tablespace 권한(Resource Role에 포함)을 부여받았기 때문이다.
Import 시에 테이블을 DEFAULT TABLESPACE에 만들려면 DEFAULT TABLESPACE
외의 TABLESPACE 에 대한 모든 Quota 를 0 로 만들고 UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
권한을 Revoke시킨 다음에 임포트를 수행해야 한다.
그리고, DEFAULT TABLESPACE 에 대한 Quota만 Unlimited 로 한다.
예를 들면 다음과 같다.
$ sqlplus system/manager
SQL> alter user scott
quota 0 on system
quota 0 on tools
quota 0 on data
quota unlimited on users;
SQL>revoke unlimited tablespace from scott;
이렇게 한 다음 Import 를 수행하면 된다. 물론 유저를 만들 때 quota 를 주지
않은 TABLESPACE는 상관 없으며 UNLIMITED TABLESPACE 권한(또는 RESOURCE ROLE)을
주지 않았다면 Revoke 명령도 사용할 필요가 없다.
[질문11] Import 시에 Core Dump/Segmentation Fault 가 발생하는 경우
오라클에는 Character Set이 있다. 국내에서는 US7ASCII 또는 KO16KSC5601을
주로 사용하는데 Export 받은 곳과 Import 하는 곳의 Character Set이 다르면
Import시에 Core Dump 가 발생하거나 원인 불명의 에러가 발생하면서 IMPORT가
중단되는 경우가 발생한다.
이 경우에는 Export 받은 dump file 을 convert 프로그램을 이용하여 Import 하는
곳의 Character Set 으로 변환시킨 다음 Import를 하는 방법이 있고, 아니면 어느
한 쪽 DB 의 Character Set 자체를 바꿔서 동일하게 맞춘 다음 Export/Import하는
방법이 있다. 이 중에서 Convert 프로그램을 이용하는 방법이 간단한데 이
프로그램은 Unix 상에서 cc로 컴파일하여서 사용하면 된다.

Export/import utility from within apex

Hi Friends,
With my knowledge in oracle forms the export/import utility can be called from within a form in runtime
using a push button.But how can i achieve this using a similar button in the oracle apex.
Pls give me a helping hand.Thanks.

Hello:
The Oracle Data Pump utility is now the preferred tool to use to import and export data and metadata from an Oracle database. Oracle Data Pump provides capabilities that far exceed those provided by the older imp/exp programs. Further, in addition to command line invocation of the tool, Oracle Data Pump has a set of pl/sql APIs (DBMS_DATAPUMP) that will let you do import and exports from pl/sql. You can therefore easily set up an APEX page that will accept a bunch of parameters and execute the appropriate procedures within DBMS_DATAPUMP to do the export/import.

Problem with EXPORT IMPORT PROCESS in ApEx 3.1

Hi all:
I'm having a problem with the EXPORT IMPORT PROCESS in ApEx 3.1
When I export an application, and try to import it again. I get this error message

I can import the application without the error.
somebody knows why I have to do this??
Thank you all.

Hi,
This issue seems to have been around for a while:
Re: Error importing file
I've had similar issues and made manual changes to the file to get it to install correctly. In my case, I got:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.<br>ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress<br>begin execute immediate 'alter session set nls_numeric_characters='''||wwv_flow_api.g_nls_numeric_chars||'''';end;There are several suggestions, if you follow that thread, about character sets or reviewing some of the line breaks within pl/sql code within your processes etc. Not sure what would work for you.

Issue with Export / Import Configuration Data in AC 5.3 migration to AC 10

Hi,
We are migrating from AC 5.3 to AC 10. As per the Migration Guide I have exported the data from AC 5.3.
The export created around 57 files on the destination with .dat extension.
Moved these files to target server Import location.
Then I have used the utility (GRAC_DATA_MIGRATION) in AC 10. Selected the Import location. and clicked Get Files.
It has uploaded some files (21 out of 57).
When I analyzed the uploaded files, I found it has uploaded only "Common Configuration" data. For the below Objects, though the export utility has created files, Import utility did not uploaded the files.
1. Business Unit
2. Critical Roles and Profiles
3. CUP Role Repository
4. Mitigation Controls
5. SOD Rules
6. Workflow
Does anyone have any idea about this issue?
Regards,
Deepak

Deepak,
Can you share with me how you are importing the config data? How you are using the path? Please share this and also try toshare how you systems are distributed.
Regards,
Faisal

Export from Apex 3.2 and import to Apex 4.0

I apologize if this has been asked before (and I am sure it has).
We are about to move all our Apex/Oracle apps to a server where Apex 4.0 is installed. Our current Apex version is 3.2. My question is can we export from Apex 3.2 and import in Apex 4.0 and expect everything to work (assuming it all works fine in Apex 3.2 and all Oracle objects were moved properly to the new server , both servers have Oracle 11g).

I am having trouble finding "update application" under any of the utilities.
Also one of my applications gives me the following error when I try to import it from Apex 3.2. to 4.0
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-02290: check constraint (APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WS_RPT_CHART_AGG_CK) violated <pre>begin wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt( p_id =&gt; 24053127534342788+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_flow_id=&gt; wwv_flow.g_flow_id, p_page_id=&gt; 60, p_worksheet_id =&gt; 24052412232342516+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_session_id =&gt; null, p_base_report_id =&gt; null+wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
I have no clue how to fix that.

Export and Import of Configuration Data

Hi All,
I have created a number of custom properties, structures, groups, renderers, layout sets etc and would like to move them from Dev to Test system.
I have found the following in the help doco:
"Export and Import of Configuration Data"
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/029c414c79b25fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm
However I am unable to see its functionality in our portal systems (namely the Actions->Export and Actions->Import functions).
Our version of Portal is: 6.0.9.6.0
KM: 6.0.9.3.0 (NW04 SPS09 Patch3)
Therefore we should be able to see it? no?
Are there any special settings to see these buttons?
Cheers,
Vic

Thanks for your replies.
OK, so in otherwords, it is not available in SP09 and only in SP12+.
So, to "transport" this information I will have to manually reapply thes settings in the Test system!
