Export/import troubles

Folks,
a ct. has exported/imported more than on page with a batch job without any errors (WOW!). But when calling the different pages they are not the same. After dropping a page from portal UI and reimporting one single page the content is okay. But when doing this for another page, he got the same trouble again. Has anybody have a similar behaviour when importing more than on page?

When we export/imported a couple of pages, HTML portlets from one ended up in the other and vice versa. This completely screwed up the application and we had to restore from backup.
Also, one page with tabs dropped the content for one HTML Portlet per tab during the export/import process. The odd thing was that the title was still there for the affected Portlet...just the content was gone. This was a consistant, reproducable error.
And one more: any images added to Portal (custom sub tabs, for instance) displayed as missing images, and had to be re-added after import. An odd behavior here was that they only dissapeared for certain users, but other users could see them. After re-adding them, all could see them again.

OEM 8.0 export/import trouble............

We're running a 8.0.4 oracle client server architecture on winnt4.(sp>4)LAN. I have installed a oracle 8.0.4 enterprise installation on my test computer as well.
what i can do...
1.thru datamanager i can export the userdata, table(s)(where our vb application connects thru the client side)from the remote serveron to my local machine.This i import it on my test computer to test the database.
2. What i can't do is thru the same datamanager, export the corrected data into the remote(real) server. I don't get any error message at all.
I have as per oracle's demand .. increased my access to "log on as batch mode" , the process dbsnmp is running as well.
Why can't i export the same date or to be more specific the table row's back into the remote server??
Please help!!

When using export/import between different releases, you need to use the older version of export to create your dump file. In your case, you must use the 8.0.5 export utility to export from your 8.1.7 database. You need a tnsname in your 8.0.5 tnsnames.ora that points to your 8.1.7 database. Then you use SQL Net to connect and do the export. So, instead of doing exp system/manager you would do exp system/manager@tnsname. Just be sure to use the 8.0.5 export, and your import will work fine.

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.

Problems in export / import repository

Hi there,
I'm trying to export/import a repository.
The first trouble is: I export the topology, but when I import it nothing is imported (no error messages).
I resorted to manually reconfiguring the topology
The second and worse trouble is: I exported the project and the models, then I imported the project (successfully)
but when I tried and import the models I got some error messages related to missing data (referential integrity)
Any help is warmly appreciated
Regards
Andrew Florit

I've got the same problem "I export the topology, but when I import it nothing is imported (no error messages)."
What could be the solution?
Thanx

Keeping video proportions during still image export/import

What I'm doing is exporting a still image to the Mac desktop, then dropping it into Photo-to-Movie where I create pans and zooms on it, then exporting the pan/zoom sequence as a Quicktime movie that I drop back into FCE and splice into the Timeline.
Trouble is, the image in the pan/zoom sequence always comes back into FCE distorted (elongated), I guess because the exported still image that it was made from reverts to the square pixels during the export process from FCE.
So, my question is, in what form should I export the still image from FCE so that it retains the proportions it has in the video, so that when I operate on it in Photo-to-Movie and then bring it back into FCE, it still has the proportions of a video (NTSC) image?
In other words, I need to retain the video (NTSC) image's proportions throughout the process of export, then creating pan/zooms on it in Photo-to-Movie, and then reimporting it into FCE.
To accomplish this, I presume I have to either export it from FCE in some special NTSC-video-compatible form, or else convert it in Photoshop to an NTSC-compatible image before I drop it into PTM, create the pan/zoom sequence, and then bring that sequence back into FCE.
I'd be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution to this problem.
Tom

Hello Tom Baker 1
My friend let me tell you something - I TOTALLY share your frustrations, and disgust with the poor results of Keyframe (within FCE).
I am not a software engineer, but my perseverance to try and try again, is far above average.
At the risk of getting on a soapbox, (and I can attest to my excellent equipment capability), please believe me, (like yourself), I've paid my dues trying to get Keyframing to work suitably with stills in FCE.
I think I can safely say, beyond all doubt, if you want to get satisfactory results in regard to pans and zooms, (without being a math major), some options for reliability and smoothness are: 'Photo to Movie' (just as you're doing), Fotomagico, http://boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/, (although I've only heard it's pretty good) - haven't tried it yet.
OR
A recent discovery of mine: Lyric Media Pan and Zoom http://www.lyric.com/fcp-plugins/panzoompro/pzp.htm - The really nice thing about this is that it's a FC, or FCE Plug In, and utilizes FC's keyframe software engine. Why is it different than Keyframe by itself in FCE? Because (so far), what I can see is that it sort of fixes the mickey-mousery, herky-jerky nightmare of Keyframe within FCE. To me it sure looks like it can take whatever pixel size you throw at it, (and without being a math major having to apply cautionary resizing to every darn still), it just does the job. Yes it seems to do the re-sizing for you, and consequently produces smooth, reliable motion to stills.
Of course the advantage to this is that you're finally using an application (within FCE), to create your pans and stills right there. No exporting/importing of QT files as with Photo to Movie, or iMovie. And the parameters of control are more sophicated than Photo to Movie.
Again, I'm still working with it, and I still need to master it, but it sure beats keyframe.
One side note:
I really love the crispness of an iMovie pan or zoom, but we all know by now that it's downfall are the dreaded 'JAGGIES'. As confirmed here on the forum, what seems to make Photo to Movie work so well, is the fact that by it's very nature of design, it automatically smoothes out, and probably reduces or resizes images so that they will NOT produce unwanted glistening (aliasing). And as once said here, your eye will accept this softening of an image, far better than the Jaggies, or the herky jerky.
With all that said, I hope I didn't rant on too much - as I mentioned, there's nothing like 'experience'.
Peace
Mike

Memory Limitation on EXPORT & IMPORT Internal Tables?

Hi All,
I have a need to export and import the internal tables to memory. I do not want to export it to any data base tables. is there a limitation on the amount of memroy that is can be used for the EXPORT & IMPORT. I will free the memory once I import it. The maximum I expect would be 13,000,000 lines.
Thanks,
Alex (Arthur Samson)

You don't have limitations, but try to keep your table as small as possible.
Otherwise, if you are familiar with the ABAP OO context, try use Shared Objects instead of IMPORT/EXPORT.

Using set/get parameters or export/import in BSP.

Hi All,
Is it possible to use set/get or export/import in BSP?
We need to set/export some variables from a BADI and get/ import them in the BSP application.
Code snippet will be of great help..
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hi Anubhav,
You can use the Export / Import statements for your requirement,
from the BADI use EXPORT to send the variable data to a unique memory location
with IDs
e.g.
*data declaration required for background processing
      DATA: WA_INDX TYPE INDX.
**here CNAME is the variable you want to export
EXPORT PNAME = CNAME TO DATABASE INDX(XY) FROM WA_INDX CLIENT
            SY-MANDT ID 'ZVAR1'.
and in the BSP application use the IMPORT statement to fetch back the values
set with the IDs above.
IMPORT PNAME = LV_CNAME
FROM DATABASE INDX(XY) TO WA_INDX CLIENT
SY-MANDT ID 'ZVAR1'.
deletes the data to save wastage of memory
DELETE FROM DATABASE INDX(XY)
    CLIENT SY-MANDT
    ID 'ZVAR1'.

Samson Rodrigues

Issue with Memory ID export / import

Hi Experts,
We are facing strange issue during export/import from memory ID.
We are exporting value to Memory ID from module pool program and trying to import same value in SAP workflow method.
While importing the value from memory ID it is failing to import and gives sy-subrc =4.
Any idea how can we do export/import in module pool program to Workflow method?

Sanjana

Hi sanjana,
Please check the link. Here you can find some examples also.

P.S
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bf8358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
You just need to create a key and an ID to save data into INDX table.Once its saved you can use same key and id to import .
Again mentioning , dont forget to delete using same key and ID once you have imported else it may give error.

Best choice for exporting / importing EUL

Hi all
I have been tasked with migrating an EUL from a R11 to a R12 environment. The Discoverer version on both environments is 10.1.2 and the OS is Solaris on oracle db's.
I am unfortunately not experienced with Discoverer and there seems to be no one available to assist for various reasons. So I have been reading the manual and forum posts and viewing metalink articles.
I tried exporting the entire eul via the wizard and then importing it to the new environment but i was not successfull and experienced the system hanging for many hours with a white screen and the log file just ended.
I assumed this was a memory problem or slow network issues causing this delay. Someone suggested I export import the EUL in pieces and this seemed to be effective but I got missing item warnings when trying to open reports. This piece meal approach also worried me regarding consistency.
So I decided to try do the full import on the server to try negate the first problem I experienced. Due to the clients security policies I am not able to open the source eul and send it to our dev. I was able to get it from their dev 11 system but I dismissed this as the dev reports were not working and the only reliable eul is the Prod one. I managed to get a prod eex file from a client resource but the upload to my server was extremely slow.
I asked the dba to assit with the third option of exporting a db dump of the eul_us and importing this into my r12 dev environment. I managed this but had to export the db file using sys which alleviated a priviledge problem when logging in, I have reports that run and my user can see the reports but there are reports that were not shared to sysadmin in the source enviroment are now prefixed with the version 11 user_id in my desktop and the user cannot see her reports only the sysadmin ones.
I refreshed the BA's using a shell script I made up which uses the java cmd with parameters.
After some re reading I tried selecting all the options in the validate menu and refreshing in the discover admin tool.
If I validate and refresh the BA using the admin tool I get the hanging screen and a lot of warnings that items are missing( so much for my java cmd refresh!) and now the report will not open and I see the substitute missing item dialogue boxes.
My question to the forum is which would be the best approach to migrate the entire eul from a R11 instance to a R12 instance in these circumstances?
Many thanks
Regards
Nick

Hi Srini
The os and db details are as follows:
Source:
eBus 11.5.2
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Target:
ebus 12.1.2
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production DEV12
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Yes the DBA initially did an exp for me using EUL_US as the owner but a strange thing happened with privileges and also, some of the imported tables appeared in the target environment under the apps schema(21 tables) even though the eul_us exp had been 48 tables.
I also had a problem on the db with "eul_us has insufficient privileges on table space discoverer" type errors.
I checked the eul_us db privileges and was unable to resolve this initial privilege error even though the privileges were granted to eul_us.
The dba managed to exp as system and then import it with the full=y flag in the import command which seems to bring in the privileges.
Then I ran the eul5_id.sql and then made up a list of the business areas and made a sh script to refresh the business areas as follows:
java -jar eulbuilder.jar -connect sysadmin/oracle1@dev -apps_user -apps_responsibility "System Administrator" -refresh_business_area "ABM Activities" -log refresh.log
This runs successfully and I can log in select business area and grant access to the users. The reports return data.
Then one of the users said she can't see all her reports. I noticed some if I opened desktop that were sitting there prefixed with a hash and her version 11 user id.
So back to the manuals and in the disco admin help the instructions are to first go to view > validate > select all options then go to the business area and click file refresh. This gives me a lot of warnings about items that are missing. I assume this is because the item identifiers brought across in the db dump are the version 11 ones and thus not found in the new system.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Nick

Project duplication: Copy/Paste vs. Export/Import

Anyone have any thoughts on project duplication?
Presently I am copying a project and then pasting it into multiple new locations then renaming them. Recently I was in a training session where the instructor suggested exporting the project and then importing it claiming database size savings. Can anyone shed any insight?
Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine why an export/import would be a smaller footprint within the database than a project copy/paste. Not to mention that if you are talking about a relatively large project it can take a substantial amount of time to export and import. One of our schedules that is about 18k activities takes approximately 1.5 hours to export/import where as a project copy/paste only takes about 10 minutes. Note that we do not copy the baseline schedules when replicating projects.

Error when exporting/importing

I am using MDM 7.1
When I export the schema from my Dev system to import into QA I get the following Error:
"This repository requires additional steps before transport. See the MDS log for details.
In the log my issue is that I am trying to export an Assignment that includes an expression that uses "look-ups".
In my Dev system I removed the expression to confirm if this is the issue, once I no longer have expressions with look-ups then it allows me to export the schema. I then tries to import it to QA (since the expressions are not changing I planned on excluding them from the import as a temporary workaround.
however I get the same error message when trying to import. It seems that I can not export or import with a system that has an assignment with an expression that uses look-ups.
Is there some config I am missing?

Hi Brad,
assignments/validations are a general problem when it comes to Schema exports/imports! What you can do in case there are not too many assignments - is to delete the assignments and create them new (manually) after you have imported the schema.
Hope this helps a little.

Export/Import Parameters dissapear when using user-exit

I am using some import/export parameters in a dynamic action when I create a new record (infotype). I am also using a user exit to avoid modifying BEGDA and ENDDA when I modify the record (IPSYST = 'MOD'). Using this user-exit, the parameters dissapear from memory so the dynamic action does not execute well. What can I do to use the user-exit?? Anything to add?

In the dinamic actions when I create, I delimit records on infotype with export/import parameters defined in infotype Module Pool. When I delete, I avoid deleting the record if it is not the last one. With the user-exit the modification of begda endda in infotype is not allowed. If I use the user-exit, the dinamic actions which use export/import parameters, don't work.
I have tried to do in MP what I do in user-exit but it is not easy because I haven´t got in PSAVE what I want.

Error in Client export/import

Dear all
i have test system i would like to perform client export/import in single system correct if made a mistake
i have export client which create 3 request namely SIDKOxxxxxx , SIDKTxxxxxx,SIDKXxxxxx .i had selected target SID as system same sid bcaz i have only one system
then i login again with scc4 create new client and login in that sap* and pass then when i run command stms_import to import all three transport into that client as said my message server gets disconnected correct me i am wrong
or i have to directely run scc7 bcaz the request already in /usr/sap/trans then these error won't occur i have the back up of database
now i am getting error oracle disconnected
Regrards

Dear Pavan
I tried last night as you said i made new client as 300 in ides and copy user profile to that
when i tried to configure stms by setting CTC =1 when i configure transport routes i don't find any client number
to provide source and target client
kindly send some screen shots if u have that would great support
.Delete the existing TMS configuration.
2.In 000 client by using the user ddic create TMS configuration using STMS.
3.Click on the system, in transport tool tab add a parameter CTC and set it to 1.
4.Now configure the transport routes, there you can find the client number in consolidation routes.
5.Provide your source and destination client and create routes.

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:

Oracle 9 spatial index export/import

Hi,
when exporting/importing a user via exp/imp I encounter a problem with the numeric characters encoding during creation of a spatial index.
Imp tool produces script like this:
"BEGIN "
"execute immediate 'INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA values (''POINTS'',''GEOMETRY'',mdsys.SDO_dim_array(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT(''X'',50000000,160000000,,005),MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT(''Y'',450000000,600000000,,005)),,005) ' ; "
"COMMIT; END;"
Problem is with wrong representation of the numeric value '0.005' as ,005.
Originally, the index was created via
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
VALUES (
'points',
'geometry',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X',-125000000,-115000000, '0.005'),
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 30000000, 42100000, '0.005')
NULL
Any hints how to reimport the index correctly?
Thanks,
Bogart

You might need to set the NLS_LANG environment variable to get character set conversion done on import (I don't know this unfortunately - it has never been a problem for me).
There is a section on character set conversions in the utilities manual.
