Exporting and Importing Versions

Hi,
I have created a new DEV system from the QA system. Now I want to export the version database from the exisitng DEV and import it to the new DEV. Any idea how to do it ?

Internal table export and import in ECC 5.0 version

Hi friends,
I am trying to export and import internal table from one program to other program.
The below export and import commands are not working when I run the program in background (using SUBMIT zxxxx via JOB name NUMBER number..)
EXPORT ITAB TO MEMORY id 'ZMATERIAL_CREATE'.
IMPORT ItAB FROM MEMORY ID 'ZMATERIAL_CREATE'.
Normally it should work. Since Its not working I am trying with another alternative..
i.e EXPORT (ptab) INTERNAL TABLE itab.
My sap version is ECC 5.0.
For your information, here I am forwarding sap help. Pls have a look and explain how to declare ptab internal table.
+Extract from SAP help+
In the dynamic case the parameter list is specified in an index table ptab with two columns. These columns can have any name and have to be of the type "character". In the first column of ptab, you have to specify the names of the parameters and in the second column the data objects. If the second column is initial, then the name of the parameter in the first column has to match the name of a data object. The data object is then stored under its name in the cluster. If the first column of ptab is initial, an uncatchable exception will be raised.
Outside of classes you can also use a single-column internal table for parameter_list for the dynamic form. In doing so, all data objects are implicitly stored under their name in the data cluster.
My internal table having around 45 columns.
pls help me.
Thanks in advance

The export/import should work the way you are using it. Just make sure you are using same memory id and make sure its unique - meaning u are using it only for this itab purpose and not overwriting it with other values. Check itab is not initial before you export in program 1 - then import it in prog2 with same memory id...also check case, I am not sure if its case sensitive...
Here is how you use the second variant...
Two fields with two different identifications "P1" and "P2" with the dynamic variant of the cluster definition are written to the ABAP Memory. After execution of the statement IMPORT, the contents of the fields text1 and text2 are interchanged.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF tab_type,
    para TYPE string,
    dobj TYPE string,
END OF tab_type.
DATA:
id    TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'TEXTS',
text1 TYPE string VALUE `IKE`,
text2 TYPE string VALUE `TINA`,
line TYPE tab_type,
itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tab_type.
line-para = 'P1'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT1'.
APPEND line TO itab.
line-para = 'P2'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT2'.
APPEND line TO itab.
EXPORT (itab)     TO MEMORY ID id.
IMPORT p1 = text2
       p2 = text1 FROM MEMORY ID id.

Is it possible to replace masters with versions without going through the process of exporting and importing?

Is it possible to overwrite the master files with the versions without having to go through the entire process of exporting and importing back the images?
Thnx in advance

A small refinement if you shoot RAW. Remember, no RAW file can ever be edited or rewritten. Thus, in the old days, the flow was:
RAW>TIFF/PSD and you ended up with two large files. (This is why some folks used to delete the RAW Masters.)
With Aperture the flow is something like:
RAW+Version(s) Only the Version is only 30 KB. (There is, of course, additional overhead of Thumbs and Previews, but, depending on your settings, this is only a fraction of the size of a TIFF or PSD.)
You question goes right to the heart of the concept of a non-destructive workflow. With Aperture you always preserve your original Master file; the only things that are ever at risk are your edits (called Adjustments). Ironically, this is even more valuable if you shoot JPEG or TIFF as those files could be rewritten.)
Aperture goes to great lengths to give you the best of both worlds; you always have the Master to revert to and your "edits" take up very little disk space. And you don't have to waste time trying to sync folders of RAW, TIFF, and JPEG. Similarly, you never have to worry about resizing images, changing color spaces, or any number of other things that get locked into an image file when you use a destructive workflow.
Remember, Aperture will happily Export files in any format you may need. Export 'em, use 'em, delete 'em - your Masters are still safe in Aperture.

Export and import between different versions

Hi everyone,
I have some databases in Oracle 7.2, and others in 9i Release 2. Sometimes we have to do exports and imports between them, and I want to know if running the catexp.sql or the catext7.sql file also applies to 9iR2 version.
Thanks in advance,
Tania L.

According to what I have heard yes but I have not tested.

SQL Developer 2.1: Problem exporting and importing unit tests

Hi,
I have created several unit tests on functions that are within packages. I wanted to export these from one unit test repository into another repository on a different database. The export and import work fine, but when running the tests on the imported version, there are lots of ORA-06550 errors. When debugging this, the function name is missing in the call, i.e. it is attempting <SCHEMA>.<PACKAGE> (parameters) instead of <SCHEMA>.<PACKAGE>.<FUNCTION> (parameters).
Looking in the unit test repository itself, it appears that the OBJECT_CALL column in the UT_TEST table is null - if I populate this with the name of the function, then everything works fine. Therefore, this seems to be a bug with export and import, and it is not including this in the XML. The same problem happens whether I export a single unit test or a suite of tests. Can you please confirm whether this is a bug or whether I am doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Pierre.

Hi Pierre,
Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately, it is a bug on our side and you have found the (ugly) "work-around".

Language Problem while exporting and importing data

hi,
I have Oracle version 8.1.7.0.0 installed on one server and 9.2.0.1.0 installed on new server.
I'm copying and pasting my version info from SQL*Plus:
SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Mon Aug 22 10:46:31 2005

I created new user on my new server from enterprise manager.
Exported user from the old server and imported in the new server.
i.e: from Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0, I did
c:\>exp system/manager file=abc.dmp owner=abc
Then on the new server Release 9.2.0.1.0, I did
c:\>imp system/manager file=abc.dmp fromuser=abc touser=abc
I'm using Arabic Language on my both servers. NLS_LANG parameter on both the servers is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252.
On both the servers I'm able to insert and select data in arabic.
However, after I export the data from old server to the new server, the arabic data comes in question marks.
If I create new table and insert arabic data on new server's user abc it is displaying well. Only the data which I exported and imported is not showing arabic.
On both old and new servers operating system is Windows XP.
I'm stuck with this problem. Anybody having any idea about how to solve this problem please help.
Thank you all in advance.
Regards

Let me be clear here. Storing Arabic data in a WE8MSWIN1252 database is not supported by Oracle and will lead to problems. You are incorrectly using the NLS_LANG to prevent proper conversion and your data appears to be okay when you use utilties like SQL*PLUS to view your data. When you write applications that don't rely on the NLS_LANG like JDBC thin driver for instance you will realize your data is in fact invalid. To learn more about the NLS_LANG you can take a look at this FAQ: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
To migrate your database to a proper character set you can refer to this paper:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/mwp.pdf
But please do not ask for help in supporting your current configuration in this forum.

Howto export and import SLD data to different SLD's

Hi All,
I have a landcape with 4 SLD's. A central SLD within Solution Manager and 3 SLD's for resp. XI dev,qas,prd.
The central SLD is version 7.0 and the XI versions are 2.2. (model versions are the same, CR are different -> XI SAP_CR 2.18 -> Solman SAP_CR 2.0)
The idea is that all changes in Bussiness (including new products and software components) and Technical Systems take place in the Solution Manager. After a change we make an export and import it into XI dev, qas and so on.
However....
When adding, for example, an exsisting product to a technical system, export it on Solman and import it into XI dev, all entries dissapear(sapms/host/clients).
We filled Solman with a full export of XI development and that worked fine.
Does anybody has an idea about actions to be taken?
Thanks,
Sjoerd Lubbers

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!

so plz help wanna just export the data of phone not the creation of table and data ???? or how can i import just the data from this .dmp ??

Pl post OS and database versions.
You will likely need to use the IGNORE flag - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/original_import.htm#sthref2201
Imp utility (by default) will try and create the table first. Since the table already exists, imp reports an error. Use the IGNORE flag in your imp command to not report such errors.

Export and Import of Access DB tables in Apex

Hi,
i need help.
I wanna export an MSACCESS DB Table into an ORACLE DB 10g2.
but every time i get an error course my ODBC driver which isnt compatible to my tns service name.
what could i do?
i only want to export a table..not the whole database.
if i want to export and import a Table over a XE Version, there are no errors and i could see the table in APEX.
...thx for help :)

Hi Timo,
If you open your table in Access, and click the "select all" (the empty grey box at the left of the header row), you can copy the entire table and paste it into Apex as though you were copying from Excel - the structure of the copied data is the same. The only thing is that you will be limited to 32,000 characters.
Obviously, though, getting hold of, and setting up, the correct ODBC drivers is the more proper solution but the above may solve your immediate problem.

Releases of export and import systems have to be identical

hi all,
we want PRD data on DEV , PRD client has been exported successfully. data ( 2 requests from cofile & data) from PRD copied to DEV in cofile and data.
now when we import these requests in DEV client through STMS , it say that "Releases of export and import systems have to be identical"
while oracle patch, kernel patch and java version all are same on both systems.
plz guide
Regards
Khan

Friends,
We also faced same issue while restoring USER Master backup in one of our system. Even after applying OSS Note 1291394 it didn't work for us. Though the permanent solution is to apply this OSS Note only.
As a teporary workaround we can add the TR through OS command using Uncoditional Mode "Overwrite Original" and import also using Uncoditional Mode "Overwrite Original". Below are the commands.
To Add in buffer:
tp addtobuffer <TR> SID Client=<> U012 pf=<>
To Import in system:
tp import <TR> SID U012 pf=<>

Online export and import in DS6

Hello,
We are running Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 on Solaris 10.
We need to export ou=people,o=xyz.com,dc=xyz,dc=com ONLINE and export to other Server (running same version) ONLINE (without stopping the services). So i ran the below:
./dsconf export -h webmail.xyz.com -p 389 ou=people,o=xyz.com,dc=xyz,dc=com ppl.ldif
prompts for "cn=Directory Manager" password and after entering it says "ou=people,o=xyz.com,dc=xyz,dc=com" does NOT exist. But it actually exists.
We're able to export "dc=xyz,dc=com" without any problems but we need ou=people only.
Appreciate if anyone could provide solution with exact commands to run for export and import (without stopping the DS)
Thanks much
Prvn

"dsconf export" operates only on suffix DNs (i.e., usually the base of your DIT which corresponds to the LDBM backend database).
Usage (from the dsconf manpage):
dsconf export [-h host] [-p port] [-aQ] [-f FLAG] ... [[-s DN] ... | [-x DN] ...] SUFFIX_DN [SUFFIX_DN...] LDIF_FILE
Look into these options and see if they can help limit its output:
-s DN
--include DN
Exports all data under specified DN.
-x DN
--exclude DN
Does not import or export data contained under the specified DN.

Doc ID: Note:10767.1
Subject: How to perform FULL System Export/Imports
Type: BULLETIN
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date: 18-APR-1994
Last Revision Date: 30-AUG-2002
Purpose
This article highlights some important points to consider when performing
a Full System Export and Import.
Scope and Application
It is intended to assist users performing FULL System Exports and Imports.
A Full System Export and Import is a useful way to replicate or clean up
a database. Please note the following guidelines when performing a Full
System Export and Import:
1. When performing the import, ensure you are pointing at the correct
instance. Always check values for the SID and two task driver before
proceeding.
*Note: On Unix systems, just entering a sub-shell, such as using
C-shell, can change the database that the import would work
against.
2. When possible, it is advisable to take a physical copy of the
exported database and the database you intend to import into before
starting the import. This ensures any mistakes are reversible.
3. NEVER run a FULL SYSTEM IMPORT on a machine that has more than one
database UNLESS you are 100% sure all tablespaces have been
pre-created. A full import will create any undefined tablespaces
using the same datafile names as the exported database. There are
situations where this is very dangerous:
-> If the datafiles belong to ANY other database, they will be
CORRUPTED. This is especially true if the exported database is
on the same machine, because its datafiles will be re-used by
the database you are importing into.
-> If the datafiles have names that clash with existing operating
system files.
4. When exporting, it is advisable to also produce a report showing
information you may need before / after the import:
-> List the tablespaces and datafiles
-> List the rollback segments
-> List a count, by user, of each object type such as tables,
indexes, etc.
This enables you to ensure that tablespaces have been pre-created
and to check the success of the import after it is complete.
5. If you are creating a completely new database from an export, remember
to create an extra rollback segment in SYSTEM, and make this available
in the init.ora file before proceeding with the import.
6. There are some versions of export that do not retain sequence numbers
correctly. It is advisable to select next_value for each sequence
after the export so that these can be checked after import.
Following these guidelines will help you to avoid major problems.

Subject: How To Copy an Oracle Database To Another Machine
Type: HOWTO
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date: 12-OCT-2001
Last Revision Date: 01-OCT-2003
goal: How to copy an Oracle database to another machine
fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
fix:
Pre-requisites: The copy is between 2 machines, both have to be on the same OS
and have to have exactly the same database version installed.
1. Make sure the database you want to copy was closed with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE,
SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL.
2. Copy init.ora and control files to create instance and be able to go in
mount mode. Check the init.ora for the locations where the controlfiles have
to be, if those locations are not valid on the machine put the control files on
different places and adjust the init.ora accordingly.
3.a. Copy the datafiles (all of them).
b. Copy the redo-logfiles (all of them).
4.a. (Unix only) Set the environment variables:
ORACLE_SID - set to the database name you wish to create
ORACLE_HOME - set to full pathname of the Oracle system home directory
PATH - needs to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
b. (NT/2000 only) Do 'set ORACLE_SID=<SID>'
Use oradim to create the service for the instance. For more information
on oradim please refer to (the part that refers to creating a new instance):
Note:68720.1 Creating a new 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 Instance/Database
5. Use servermanager (check the name to use for your version of oracle) or
sqlplus (version 9i and above) to startup the database in mount mode.
Do
CONNECT INTERNAL/<PASSWORD>
then
STARTUP MOUNT
Then do a rename of the copied datafiles if they are not in the same path as on
the other machine. For all the files that are in the result of the query:
SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
do
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<filename>' to <

6. Query the datadictionary for the old location of the redolog files using:
SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
If the new place is not the same as the old do:
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<redologfilename>' to &
lt;newfullpath>\<redologfilename>';
7. Now open the database:
ALTER DATBASE OPEN;
