Export NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8PC850 & IMPORT TO AR8MSWIN1256

hi ,
I want to export data from below mentioned database
O.s : Linux
DB : 9i
NLS_CHARACTERSET=WE8PC850
And Import to below mentioned database.
O.S : Linux
DB: 11gr2
NLS_CHARACTERSET=AR8ISO8859P6 OR AR8MSWIN1256
I am having issue with arabic fonts after normal export and import.
I tried the following step
-created new database with WE8PC850 And Imported data. Junk arabic
-created new database with AR8ISO8859P6 And imported data , junk arabic
please guide steps need to do export and import with various NLS_CHARACTERSET
Thanks

character set in source DB is WE8PC850 , I'M 100% sure abt that.I believe you that the NLS_CHARACTERSET of the source database is WE8PC850. If you are storing Arabic data in the database, however, the data must not actually be WE8PC850. The data must be encoded in some other character set and you have to have incorrect NLS_LANG settings on all the clients to hide that fact. The question is-- what character set is the data actually encoded in? And is it all encoded using one character set or do you have a mix of different character sets?
If i change characterset of source DB before export as AR* , whether i will recive arabic data without junk???If you can change the character set of the source database (assuming it is done correctly-- this is probably going to be a non-trivial operation with an ancient 9i database), then you can use the export and import utilities to move the data. If you cannot change the character set of the source database, then you may be stuck writing the data out to flat files and using SQL*Loader to load it back in.
Note also that there is a Globalization Support where you may want to move this question. Sergiusz Wolicki may well have some better ideas about how to move the data successfully (though he'll definitely need the questions I'm asking answered).

How to define Export parameter as Import parameter in next test script.

Hi Experts,
We have defined Purchase order no. as export parameter in ME21N transaction test script.
Test configuration for ME21N transaction executed succesfully and the Purchase order No. appeared in the last message
is the export parameter for next test script i.e. MIGO transaction.
However I am unable to define this export parameter as Import parameter in next test script for MIGO transaction.
Please suggest me the method to define the same.
Please Help...
Thanks in Advance
Vikas

Vikas,
You need to create super script which is nothing but having the both the steps (Po creation & MIGO ) in this eCatt script. This can be achieved by using the REF command as ex. below.
Create PO
REF ( Z_CREATE_PO , Z_CREATE_PO_1 ).
Create MIGO
REF ( Z_CREATE_MIGO , Z_CREATE_MIGO_1 ).
Z_Create_PO is the actual eCatt script that you recorded to create the PO. Z_CREATE_QUOTE_1 is the interface created by SAP. Similarly you have use the REF command to call the MIGO script inside this super script.
To pass the export parameter from PO step to MIGO, double click the Z_CREATE_PO_1and define the export variable for PO number. And do the same on the interface for MIGO step.
Follow the instructions if you need in this help document posted by another user in this forum

Export and re-import on same database

For one reason or another we want to do a full export and re-import all the data back into the same tablespaces... is there a command to imp to tell it to truncate and over-write all the data before importing? or do I have to manually drop all the tables? (by manual I mean write a script to do it) -- and/or drop all the schemas

Not sure, why you want to export and import back the same thing into the same database, but anyways to answer your question, yes it is possible with Oracle10g by using TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION={SKIP | APPEND | TRUNCATE | REPLACE}. With Oracle9i, you may have to generate a dynamic script to truncate tables....make sure you exclude SYS/SYSTEM tables from the truncate script.........did I say except SYS/SYSTEM and so on :-)

Export from 10g import to 9i

Hi All,
what I need is - I want to export the 10g data and import the same to 9i database.
I know that if we take the export using the 9i binaries ( client or db) we should able to do that, but I don't want to keep the 9i binaries only for this job.
Is there any other way to take the export from 10g and import the same dump in 9i?
Thanks

Yes.. I don't want to do that also..over the network it would be slow.
See I checked this..looks like 7i and 8i there is one script to do the same, is anything like that exist for 9i and 10g as well.
==================
Different versions of the import utility are upwards compatible. This means that one can take an export file created from an old export version, and import it using a later version of the import utility. This is quite an effective way of upgrading a database from one release of Oracle to the next.
Oracle also ships some previous catexpX.sql scripts that can be executed as user SYS enabling older imp/exp versions to work (for backwards compatibility). For example, one can run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catexp7.sql on an Oracle 8 database to allow the Oracle 7.3 exp/imp utilities to run against an Oracle 8 database.

Thanks

(9I) EXPORT의 TABLESPACE OPTION, IMPORT의 STATISTICS OPTION

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-08-13
(9I) EXPORT의 TABLESPACE OPTION, IMPORT의 STATISTICS OPTION
===========================================================
PURPOSE
Oracle 9i에서의 새로운 IMPORT parameter 인 STATISTICS 와
EXPORT 의 새로운 기능인 TABLESPACE parameter에 관한 설명이다.
SCOPE
Export Transportable Tablespace Feature는 8i~10g Standard Edition에서는
지원하지 않는다.
Explanation & Example
1. Oracle 9i에서는 STATISTICS 라는 새로운 Import parameter 값을 제공한다.
비교 ) Oracle 8i에서는 ANALYZE parameter와 RECALCULATE_STATISTICS
parameter의 조합으로 사용한다.
- ALWAYS : 미리 계산된 통계정보가 불안정하든 하지 않든 간에
상관없이 통계정보를 항상 import. (Default)
- NONE : 미리 계산된 통계정보를 import하지 않는다.
- SAFE : 불안정하면 table을 import한후 통계정보를 재계산하고
그렇지 않으면 미리 계산된 통계정보를 import.
- RECALCULATE : 미리 계산된 통계정보를 import하는 대신에 import한 후
table에 대한 통계정보를 재계산.
여기서 잠깐 통계정보가 불안정하다는 것은 언제를 말하는지를 짚어본다.
: Export time에 아래와 같은 경우에 미리 계산된 통계정보를 불안정하다
고 표시한다.
- Export하는 동안에 row error가 있을 때
- Client character set 또는 NCHAR character set이 server의
character set 또는 NCHAR character set과 다를 때
- Query option을 사용할 때 ( 8i 이상에서 제공하는 새로운
parameter)
- 특정 partition 또는 subpartition만이 export될 때
비교 ) Export 시에 STATISTICS parameter는 estimate, compute, none
의 세가지 값을 가지며 estimate가 default이다.
2. Oracle 9i 에서는 특정 tablespace에 있는 table을 export하기 위한
TABLESPACE라는 새로운 parameter를 제공한다.
- index가 어느 tablesapce에 속해 있는지의 여부에 상관없이 tablespace
에 속한 table와 연관된 index는 모두 export된다.
- TABLESPACE mode로 export을 받기 위해서는 EXP_FULL_DATABASE
privilege를 가지고 있어야 한다.
비교 ) 8i에서의 TABLESPACE option은 8i에서의 새로운 기능인
TRANSPORTABLE TABLESPACE 기능을 사용하는 데 필요한 단지 meta
data만을 export받는 것에 그친다. TABLESPACE 단위로 data을 받을
수는 없다.
9i에서도 믈론 TABLESPACE option은 TRANSPORTABLE TABLESPACE 기
능을 위해서도 사용이 된다.

Hi
1)if I use the 3rd option it should gather stats for
all the objects including indexes. However, when I
used that option it didn't gather satas for Index. Do
I need to use cascade=>TRUE option?
Yes, default is FALSE, so need to force TRUE
2) I need to backup my current stats and gather new
stats for entire DB. If I export DATABASE stats will
it export all stats including index, system?
Yes
3) If I collect stats using GATHER_DATABASE_STATS, Do
I need to explicitly collect other stats for index,
system etc?
No

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
Any help would be welcome

This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

Difference Between Export and Direct Import Process.

Hi SD Gurus,
Can anyone help to understnad difference betwenn Export and Direct Import Process.

Hi,
export = out of the system or country
import = into the system or country
For example in SAP-ABAP
On the EXPORT side
DATA: ls_indx TYPE indx.
ls_indx-aedat = sy-datum.
ls_indx-usera = sy-uname.
ls_indx-pgmid = 'ZNAME'.
EXPORT tab = lt_orders
TO DATABASE indx(v1)
FROM ls_indx ID 'PERCENT'.
On the IMPORT side
DATA: ls_indx TYPE indx.
ls_indx-aedat = sy-datum.
ls_indx-usera = sy-uname.
ls_indx-pgmid = 'ZNAME'.
IMPORT tab = lt_orders
FROM DATABASE indx(v1)
TO ls_indx ID 'PERCENT'

Unable to open the export file during Import ABAP phase on tar(System copy)

Hi Experts,
We are encountering the following error during Import ABAP phase on target system as we are performing system copy on target system as part of hardware migration(Data center migration).
Scenario:
Sourrce system - BI- ABAP(7.01), Win 2003 x64 unicode,Oracle 10.2.0.4
Target system - BI-ABAP(7.01), Win 2008 R2 unicode, Oracle 11.2.0.1
Actually on source system the data has been generated using migration monitor by using table splitting option and transferred on target system thru ftp option.
During Import process while selecting the Database installation type we have selected the installation method as "Standard systemcopy/Migration(load based)" and not checked the option "Start Migration montior Manually".
As far as my concern this error has nothing to do with this selection.please correct me If i am wrong.

How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

How to find export statement for Import statement ?

hi experts,
I am having an IMPORT....from memory ID statement in my program.
how could i find the location of EXPORT ...to memory ID statement for the IMPORT statement.
Pls help
saravanan.

Not possible if you are just trying to find it without knowing the links between your program and the other programs. You have to know all the objects that relate to the process that your program is automating and then you can probably dig into those related programs to see if there is an EXPORT statement there. But it is not as simple as double clicking on the IMPORT statement or doing a WHERE-USED on the memory ID.

Find EXPORT to an IMPORT ... FROM MEMORY ID statement

Hi!
I would like to ask you, if you know an easy way to find the EXPORT command for an IMPORT ... FROM MEMORY ID ... statement.
For example in the program LWDTMO01, there is the following codepart (in a SAP 4.6c):
    IMPORT DYNP_INFO FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_dynp_info'.
    IMPORT SHLP_TOP FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_shlp_top'.
    IMPORT SHLP_CURR FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_shlp_curr'.
    IMPORT SHLP_TAB FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_shlp_tab'.
    IMPORT RECORD_TAB FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_record_tab'.
    IMPORT OCXINTERFACE FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_ocxinterface'.
    IMPORT CALLCONTROL FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_callcontrol'.
    IMPORT FLDS_OUT_TAB FROM MEMORY ID 'mcx_flds_out_tab'.
How can I find the code, where these tables are filled with data and EXPORTed to the memory?
Thank you
Tamá

hi tamas
go to debugging mode by using the internal command /h
then click the goto menu->sytem areas->abap memory.
in the abap memory the datas are stored ..

FormsCentral is discarding dropdown export values when importing PDF form

I would like to disclose that I am fairly new to this process.
I have created a pdf from a word document. After creating the form portion in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and adding in javascript validations and calculations, sourced mainly from these community forums I am encountering an error when importing the form to FormsCentral. I have dropdown boxes that contain numbers (1,2,3, etc.) to select the amount of guests the recipient will invite. In turn, when selecting a certain number, the export value ($100,$200,$300, etc.) will show up in an adjacent text box stating in the amount it will cost.
This works fine in Acrobat, however when I import it I get a message:
     FormsCentral has successfully imported the PDF with the following exceptions:
     The choice field AddtD contains both display and export values. FormsCentral must discard the export values and this may cause existing calculations and validations to fail.
     The choice field AddtG&D contains both display and export values. FormsCentral must discard the export values and this may cause existing calculations and validations to fail.
When it comes to efficiency, I am aware I may be doing things the tedious way. But I would like some insight on how to make the textbox more active in this scenario. I will include my properties / validations and calculations:
Dropdown box 1 (AddtG&D): Export values, as previously discussed
Text box 1 (TotalAddtG&D):
Validation Script:
// null filed value if entry is zero
if(event.value == 0) event.value = "";
Custom Calculation Script:
// Set this field value to the value of the combo box
event.value = getField("AddtG&D").value;
The same goes for Dropdown box 2 and Text box 2, as they are identical. Any help would be great!

Well that simplifies it a lot, since all you need to do is multiply the field value by a constant amount in both cases. So the new calculation script could be:
event.value = 100 * getField("AddtG&D").value;
and for the other:
event.value = 45 * getField("AddtG&D").value;
though I'm not sure if that's the correct field name.

Export (PC) to Import (iMac) Sync Up Issue

I exported my photo catalog from my old PC using LR 2.7 Export as Catalog for negatives and previews to an external drive. I then imported that Catalog onto my new iMac hard-drive as a new 3.0 catalog with brand new folder structure using the new LR 3.0. I had no photos on the iMac previously. All of the physical folders were copied correctly onto the iMac from the external drive in the LR import process. Afterwards, when I try the LR "synchronize" function, it gives me the option to remove hundreds of missing photos from the catalog. For example, I exported a mix of 700 jpg, dng and cr2 files in one folder from the PC to the iMac. The 700 files are showing up in the same physical folder on the iMac. Yet Light Room is telling me that the inventory of physical files is out of sync with the new catalog by 233! How do I correct the problem without loosing the pictures. Why does it indicate that there are missing pictures when I can go out and view them through the SHOW MISSING PICTURES option. All of those "missing" pictures are JPGs and they are on the physical hard-drive.

Dorin,
Thank you for the advice.
Unfortunately there is no "?" for each of the "missing" pictures. Nor do I
have the ability to relocate or click "link nearby photos".
Here is what is real strange about this problem.
If I select the Folder with the supposedly missing photos in the FOLDER
subpanel, and Right-click the folder, then select the SYNCHRONIZE option,
the next window says that there are 233 missing photos from the catalog. I
have the option to remove the missing photos from the catalog. If I click
"SHOW MISSING PHOTOS", All are displayed, BUT none of them have a "?" symbol
anywhere on the icon.
If I highlight the FOLDER with the missing pictures again in the FOLDERS
panel , then select the LIBRARY menu and click the "FIND MISSING PHOTOS", a
message is displayed that there are no missing photos. All photos are in
the catalog.
One place says nothing's missing, the other lists them as missing.
Something is either fouled up with the 3.0 catalog, or the LR 3.0 software.
Or perhaps it was the way the Lightroom 2.7 catalog was created / exported
on the PC (Windows XP) and then imported to a new LR 3.0 catalog on the
iMAC.

Try clicking the "?" icon on a missing jpeg's thumbnail to relocate it.
Click the "link nearby photos" option in the Locate dialog.

FCP export settings for import in iMovie '08

Q: What QT/ Compressor export settings do I need to use in FCP in order to be able to import the MOV file in iLife '08?
The reason for using iLife '08 is solely for sharing the movie to dotMac.
(if you know alternatives bypassing iMovie '08 ... be my guest).
Background:
I create my footage with a Sony HDR-HC7.
I capture the footage on my Macs (G5 and MBP) via FCP.
I edit my sequence in FCP using the HDV sequence presets
I output using FCP export to Quicktime. MOV file has HDV properties.
Funny: the captured MOV file with HDV properties can be read by iMovie '08 , the edited sequence with exactly the same HDV properties can not be read by iMovie '08 .
I tried a Compressor conversion to:
- Apple preset iTV --> no import
- Apple preset iPod video --> no import
- Apple preset m2v and m4v --> both no import
- Apple preset mp4 --> no import
iLife help mentiones that it accepts DV, mp4 and some MOV formats.
Q: what is the list of "some"
Please help.
Coen

Q: What QT/ Compressor export settings do I need to use in FCP in order to be able to import the MOV file in iLife '08?
Don't have FCP v5/6 but with older FCP/FCE usually use AIC for crossover in MOV file container.
iLife help mentiones that it accepts DV, mp4 and some MOV formats.
Q: what is the list of "some"
I have personally used DV, AIC, MJPEG, MPEG4, H.264 and i believe Photo-JPEG with which another individual indicated he was having problems. As to audio for these files, usually use DV, Linear PCM ("Big Endian" Integer), AAC, or even uncompressed. Avoid Apple Animation and Apple Video compression formats which will import/edit but will not correctly export. However, be advised that there are some caveats. E.g., a "Large or Full" slideshow export from iPhoto places the MPEG4/AAC data in an MOV file container which iMovie '08 will not import. However, if you use the MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." File menu option to save the same data in an MP4 file container. Therefore, would say that some problems here may be associated with iMovie '08 "pre-scanning" of files and possible minor bugs in proper error trapping on compression formats vs file containers.
