Import of BaseView to a different schema in database

Question

Hi All,
We have developed some bam reports. Now the base view, meta view are referring to a schema name (say SchemaName1) in database.
In the plans we are using "SQL query" to get data from database. So we have queries like "Select SchemaName1.table1.column1 ... from ......".
Now we have taken a export of the base view, meta view ,plans and all other components of BAM.
All is fine till now... But now i need to import all these stuff in a different database. My problem is that in the new database instance i cannot use the same schema name (i.e. SchemaName1 ). I have a different schema name(say SchemaName2) there and i need to use that......There is no way i can use SchemaName1.
Will the import of Base view/Meta view/plans work or we need to do some configuration changes during import??
Do we have to create Base view for the new schema names from scratch or the imported code can be used??
The plans have sql queries referring to SchemaName1 but we need it to refer to the Other schema(SchemaName2 )...What is the possible way of referring to the new schema without developing the plan again??
Waiting for your valuable feedback...

***Backup your repository database***
***Please review all steps before attempting***
Sarputil Export
1.     Start | Run, type “sarputil”
2.     Do a partial export. (Note down directory that will contain files to be exported.).
3.     Select your Baseview, Metaview, Security:Login Profile, and Plan. (Note, the check boxes are in front of each object name and might appear very light on some clients.)
4.     On the XML dialog and with the question on what you would like to do – select Execute Now.
5.     Finish the wizard and from the directory noted above, verify .csv files were created. (Typically C:\OracleBAM\EnterpriseLink\Data\rp\export).
6.     Copy all .csv files and paste to different temporary folder on 2nd server.
Sarputil Import
1.     Start | Run, type “sarputil” on the 2nd server where you’ll import into.
2.     Partial import
3.     Under Repository Information dialog, set the Data Source information on the right and remember to change the directory now containing your .csv files.
4.     Like before, select “Execute now” and Finish the wizard.
Oracle BAM Admin
Modify connect string (host string or tns name) if you need to:
1.     Connect in Oracle BAM Admin
2.     Expand Baseviews and select the imported Baseview
3.     Check under “Server” on the left if the connect string is correct.
4.     If not, click Modify button and change.
Modify Baseview Login if you need to:
1.     With your Baseview still selected on the left side, click on “Baseview Logins” tab
2.     Logins on the left correspond to actual database user id’s and password. Add a new Login with a database User ID and Password to access the new schema.
3.     Associate or Set the new Login (right) to the BAM User on the left.
Sarpbv Modification
Use sarpbv utility to change references of the old schema name to a new schema name.
General syntax for Oracle:
sarpbv /R"username:pwd:Oracle:TNS Name::DB UserID:DBUser pwd” /B"BaseView name" /O"NewSchema"
**Use Capital letters for New Schema name!
**Notice 2 colons (::) after TNS Name (because you do not have a database name in Oracle).
1.     Open DOS
2.     Type your sarpbv command. Below is an example where I changed a Baseview called “scott” to use a new schema name called Jack.
sarpbv /R"sa::ORACLE:baminst::sagent:sagent" /B"scott" /O"JACK"
3.     Open Design Studio, locate the plan and check the SQL Query now reflects the new schema.
4.     Test the plan to ensure it’s pulling data correctly from the new schema.
