Extracting contents from Content Db to a file system

Hi,
What would be the best approach to extract the contents in Content Db to a file system and the metadata associated with them to a temporary database table
so that we can use them to migrate documents to another content management system ?
Thanks

Restore the database to the SQL Server that the test farm is using. Use Mount-SPContentDatabase on the test SharePoint server (farm) to mount the content database to the test Web Application.

Moving spfile from non-asm to asm file system

Hi All
We are migrating non-asm file system to asm file system, we are held up in moving the spfile from non-asm file system to asm file system ...
we tried the below method
Recreate SPFILE on ASM diskgroup
SQL> create pfile='c:\initTEST.ora' from spfile;
File created.
SQL> create spfile='+DGRP2/spfileTEST.ora' from pfile='c:\initTEST.ora';
File created.
after this we started both the running instance and asm instance
but after starting the instance TEST we saw the instance still using spfile of non-asm file system
what is the correct way of moving the spfile from non-asm to asm file system..
Regards
Hariharan.T

You need to perform this first:
First rename the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTEST.ora to spfileTEST.ora_old
create initTEST.ora in dbs location with below contents:
Also i recommend you to recreate the spfile in ASM as it might not be in good shape.
When ever you start the oracle instance there is a specific order to find the oracle pfile/spfile
1. O_H/dbs/spfile<SID>.ora
2. O_H/dbs/init<SID>.ora
3. O_H/dbs/spfile.ora
4. O_H/dbs/init.ora
in your case instance always finds spfileTEST.ora in dbs location (non -ASM) and will stop looking further. If you remove it our of the way it will find initTEST.ora which will redirect to spfile present in ASM.
NOTE: As per your earlier update you created spfile in ASM after puttin spfile='+DG...' in the initTEST.ora..
If you start the instance with this SPFILE you will be getting "maxmimum cursors limit exceeded" error.

Open a pdf from a buffered stream versus file system?

With the PDF Library SDK is it possible to open a pdf from a stream versus the file system?

Yes, but not trivially. You would have to implement your own
ASFileSys, which is a method for accessing "files". This is a
collection of methods, rather like an object oriented class, but in C.
You would have to support get, put, open, random access, file naming
etc.

Need to Move contents of BLOB from database to middle-tier file system

I need to be able to move the contents of a BLOB (which is a PDF file) from the database to a specified location in the middle-tier file system (running 9iAS). There does not seem to be the equivalent package or other built-in functionality to DBMS_LOB (for moving INTO the database, which is amazing. Does anyone have a java bean or (?) which can accomplish this simingly simple task??

The java bean should work to extract from the database to a binary file on either Unix or Windows. As long as the file is in .bmp format in the database, you can save the file as .bmp on you file system and everything should be alright.
Or, perhaps, am I not understanding your question?
Good Luck

Extract data from Query to a Flat File - scheduling in the background

Hi All,
We need to extract data from a query to a flat file periodically, but each time 10 separate executions based on 10 profit centers, to get the separate files.
So, we have PC1, PC2, ... PC10 Profit centeres.
We have Query1, with profit center variable.
We have created 10 variants for Query1 so that we can execute for 10 profit centers.
Now, we have used RSCRM_BAPI to execute the Query1 and write to a flat file. Now we are having a problem in getting this feature used to execute the query automatically for 10 different varaints.
Thanks in advance,
_ Shashi

Shashi,
You can try using Information Broadcasting or Reporting Agent. You can schedule this in Information Broadcasting.

Archive Repository - Content Server or Root File System?

Hi All,
We are in the process of evaluating a storage solution for archiving and I would like to hear your experiences and recommendations. I've ruled out 3rd-party solutions such as IXOS as over kill for our requirement. That leaves us with the i5/OS root file system or the SAP Content Server in either a Linux partition or on a Windows server. Has anyone done archiving with a similar setup? What issues did you face? I don't plan to replicate archive objects via MIMIX.
Is anyone running the SAP Content Server in a Linux partition? I'd like to know your experience with this even if you don't use the Content Server for archiving. We use the Content Server (currently on Windows) for attaching files to SAP documents (e.g., Sales Documents) via Generic Object Services (GOS). While I lean towards running separate instances of the Content Server for Archiving and GOS, I would like to run them both in the same Linux LPAR.
TIA,
Stan

Hi Stanley,
If you choose to store your data archive files at the file system level, is that a secure enough environment? A third party certified storage solution provides a secure system where the archive files cannot be altered and also provides a way to manage the files over the years until they have met their retention limit.
Another thing to consider, just because the end users may not need access to the archived data, your company might need to be able to access the data easily due to an audit or law suit situation.
I am a SAP customer whose job function is the technical lead for my company's SAP data archiving projects, not a 3rd party storage solution provider , and I highly recommend a certified storage solution for compliance reasons.
Also, here is some information from the SAP Data Archiving web pages concerning using SAP Content Server for data archive files:
10. Is the SAP Content Server suitable for data archiving?
Up to and including SAP Content Server 6.20 the SAP CS is not designed to handle large files, which are common in data archiving. The new SAP CS 6.30 is designed to also handle large files and can therefore technically be used to store archive files. SAP CS does not support optical media. It is especially important to regularly run backups on the existing data!
Recommendation for using SAP CS for data archiving:
      Store the files on SAP CS in a decompressed format (make settings at the repository)
       Install SAP CS and SAP DB on one server
       Use SAP CS for Unix (runtime tests to see how SAP CS for Windows behaves with large files still have to be carried out)

Extracting data from Oracle to a flat file

I'm looking for options to extract data a table or view at a time to a text file. Short of writing the SQL to do it, are there any other ideas? I'm dealing with large volumes of data, and would like a bulk copy routine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs.

Extracting data from Essbase & loading into flat file through ODI

It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

Best way to extract data from 2 years records/Numbers files for tax return?

Hi
I am wanting to find a way of generating my annual tax returns from my financial records, which will be stored in a separate Numbers file for each Calendar Year.
As the Tax Year (in the UK) is different from the Calendar Year (in the UK it runs from April 6 to April 5), I would need to extract information from two different Numbers files, to a third Numbers file. Is it possible to do this, and would this be relatively straightforward?
I'd be interested to hear from others who have used Numbers for a similar purpose, and how they have organised things.
Thanks
Nick

The easiest soluce is to forget the use of separate documents.
Use one sheet per year and it will be really easy to achieve your goal using only formulas.
With separate documents, the unique soluce is to use an AppleScript.
I may write one but I'm a bit tired because I posted a lot of such soluce and in most cases, I don't know if they give satisfaction to the askers.
Coding for the clouds isn't my cup of tea so I think that for some days, I will leave AppleScript and will work upon the archives of my workshop.

Extracting Dimension from Planning Application through EPMA File Generator

Hi,
I have a EPMA planning application (in version 11.1.1.2) and I want to extract its dimensions in to a ads file. I am using EPMA File Generator 9.3.1 for the purpose.
I am selecting the "From Planning Application" tab and entering all the required details, but when I execute... I get error "Unable to get metadata. Please check the web URL, application name, and application server."
I checked the web URL which is:
http://<server name>:8300/HyperionPlanning
and my application name & server are also correct...
Please help me to find out what exactly is going wrong here...
Thanks & Regards,
AK

Why are you using 9.3.1 version, is there not a newer version in \Hyperion\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMAFileGenerator\
Also if it an EPMA application you can use the EPMA tab to generate the ADS.
Cheers

Possible to extract documents from Apple Configurator device backup file?

We updated several student iPads via Apple Configurator. All went well except for 2 devices that came out of the refresh process with all the student data wiped from the device. I am afraid to check the device in and check it out again for fear of losing the original backup made prior to the restore. I can see the device backup files but have no idea how to work with them. Is it possible for me to extract the documents and photos the students need?
