IFS export - import

Where can I find detailed information about exporting and then importing IFS data
between 2 different computers (database instances)?
Note: IFS data to export/import contain custom objects, including custom DirectoryUsers

Valean,
If you look in the 9iFS Administration guide there is a section there on the ifsexportcontent and related tools. These give you the ability to export content and also users and groups.
Should be what you are after.

Need help on ifs export/import

What is the best way to deliver an ifs database to a customer site where we do not have the ability to access our development machine? This delivery must take place via CD. In the past, we have delivered by exporting/importing.
It is my understanding that export/import is not an option with ifs?? I read in another post that this will be addressed in a future release. Any ideas on what release and when?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Import/Export support in iFS is planned for 1.2 release. However, Oracle in general don't commit to features of future releases before the actural release.

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'.

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.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Import+and+Export+to+Cluster+Databases
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.

Erdal

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.

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
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.

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.

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.

Offline Instantiation of a Materialized View Site Using Export/Import

Has anyone had any success performing offline instantiation of a materialized view site using export/import in Oracle9?

This is what I wanted to ask in the forum. I want to use datapump for the initial instantiation because I believe that indexes (the actual indextables, not just the definition) are also replicated using datapump.
So, is it possible to do the instantiation using datapump?

Upgrade from 8.1.6 to 9.2.0.7 via export/import

Has anyone done this or know if it's possible to simply build a 9.2.0.7 instance, then use export/import to perform the upgrade from 8.1.6 to 9.2.0.7 since a direct manual upgrade from 8.1.6 is not supported??
TIA

Yes, building a database in a new release and then exporting the existing database using its version of the exp utility, performing a binary copy of the exp file to the new server, and then running the new version imp utility using the transferred dmp file was the standard method of moving databases to new platforms/versions for many years. The same process could always be used on the same server between equal or from a current to a new release.

Is your DB unicode? If so, did you select the unicode flag in sapinst?
