Importing User data

I was wondering if any of you with the new Intel bassed iMacs got the option of booting your previous Mac in Firewire disc mode and importing the user data as you can between G4's and G5's.
I have found this extememly time saving when setting up new Macs but it did occur to me if this would work between G4/G5 and Intel based machines.
Many thanks.

I've used Migration Asst. twice. The first time was migrating data using the same account name from the old to the new and resulted in many duplicate files and applications which I then had to cull through & delete.
Second time I set up a "dummy" acct. on the new machine at first boot, then Migrated the old account over, switched to it, and deleted the dummy (some would say as long as I'm around I must have missed). Anyway this method worked much better for me, with no duplication of apps or data. YMMV.
Personally, coming from the bad old Windows days, I prefer to create a fresh install of everything when I get a new machine. .Mac makes it easy to sync most important settings, and if you add Backup to the list you can have a copy of your important data online and just bring it over.
But that doesn't work for large iTunes Libraries or iMovie files, etc. For them the best idea is a dedicated (FireWire) bootable backup drive.
I guess I'm maintaining a prejudice against Migration Asst. for no very good reason, but there it is.

Import user data

hello,
i have a user named as neo which have tables and data in it.
i want to import a schema neo1 into neo.
schema neo1 have same structure of all the tables but data in table is different.
i want to import neo1's data into neo and want to delete old data in neo's tables
but don't drop tables.
how it is possible.
do we have any parameter in imp utility.
thanks

Your in the wrong forum for talking about export and import, that's the Database - General forum you want.
However, from a PL/SQL or SQL point of view...
You could grant permissions on neo1's tables to neo and then neo can just query the data out and insert into neo's own tables, then the tables in neo1 can be truncated.

OD Upgrade: merge backed up user data with new accounts?

Hi All,
After trying many paths to upgrade a 10.6.8 OD server to 10.10 we gave up on export / import of the whole directory. We kept running into the “Existing connection is not authenticated” error caused by some kind of certificate mis-match. Searching for fixes inevitably led to this article which indicates the “rekerberize” method should not be used on Yosemite.
So we punted and installed everything clean from scratch. We think we found a method that restores all users and their home dirs. I’m posting here to see if anyone may critique our method as unsafe. We’ve done some testing but users are not let loose on the new system yet so we aren’t quite 100% certain.
The basic steps we eventually took were:
Grab export of users from 10.6 server
Fresh install of OS X 10.10, patch to 10.10.1 (cloned old system first so we can always go back)
Install Server
Correctly configure DHCP and DNS and File Sharing
Create Directory
Create self signed cert (this was necessary to get 10.6 clients to auth; 10.10 clients work out of the box)
Edit user export file to fixup change in FQDN: %s/<old_fqdn>/<new_fqdn>/g
Import users into Directory using the fixed up export file
Copy user home dirs from 10.6 backup into new file share (the user home dir path matches the fixed up export file)
chown each user dir to the new user: sudo chown -R <user>:students /Users/<user> (In earlier passes at the upgrade, we also propagated permissions and ACLs from within Server.app at this step. But the fresh install didn’t seem to need this — chown appears to be enough.)
The Keychain came across with wrong perms and instead of resetting the perms, it made more sense in our case to just delete it: sudo rm -rf /Users/<user>/Library/Keychains
We’ve done a reasonable amount of testing and it looks like all of the user’s files are accessible and working fine. I expect we may find some application data in user home dirs that may have wrong perms (like keychain did) or otherwise be incoherent to the new system. But so far we haven’t found any such issues.
So the crux of this post is: Is it prudent to import user data from another system and expect a simple chown command will make all right with the new system? Or are we glossing over some low-level fundamental (Server File Sharing ACLs?) and creating a time-bomb that will only go off after a week of user data changes at which point any path back out will involve user data loss.
We’re going to start letting some users log on and grab their home dirs in the next day or two. Any and all comments are welcome.
Thank you,

Use Migration Assistant to restore your user files. You can find this application in /Applications/Utilities, so connect the external drive with your files, open Migration Assistant and follow the steps. Migration Assistant will create a second user account with your restored files.
Migration Assistant will let you restore everything you had before (applications, pictures, music, videos...) and will let you choose which folders you want to restore. As you want to restore the iTunes library, make sure you check the Music folder.
Respecting to iPhoto, that application is not included with OS X, so you have to download it from the Mac App Store. Just open it, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download it free of charge.

Date parse error while importing users from OIM to OIA (SRM 5.0.3)

Hi All,
Env Details:
OIA (SRM 5.0.3), Weblogic and Oracle 10g DB
We have integrated OIM to OIA with extended attributes mapping by modifying iam-context.xml file to load users. Its done successfully. But when we map "Date" related attribute, its giving "Date Parsing error" and its not loading the users.
We have tried loading users using flatFile mechanism, its also giving same result.
Please suggest me. Thanks in Advance !!!
Regards,
Ravi G.

Hi,
Its a problem with OOB's OIMIAMSolution.class file, which is called while importing users from OIM. It used DateParse () conversion method only for all attributes which OIA attributes' name is ends with "Date". It defined, the conversion of date from (yyyy-MM-dd). So its expecting the input value should be in defined format(yyyy-MM-dd), if not, it gives a parse error.
We found work around for this as follows,
We have used other related OIA attribute which name ends other than "Date" string.
Thanks,
Ravi G.

User Data Import

I add about 800 users to a portal group via a User Data Import. All of the users were added to the group which had a role assigned to it. But, when the users logged in they had no roles assigned to their account. Though everything worked fine when we removed the user and re-added them back to the group. I do not want to do this for the rest of the 800 users as this would take us days. Anyone know how we can rectify this issue?

Have you tried a portal restart ?
It is not unlikely that the problem is in UME caching (which will at least be reloaded after a restart, but there are probably also other ways)

Import XML data to textfields in a PDF file

Can I use LiveCycle Designer 8.2 to auto populate textfields in a PDF-file with data from a XML-file when the user opens the PDF-file? If so, how will I do it? Is there any guide?
It works fine in the Livecycle Designer preview but when I open the PDF-file all textfields are empty. It also works fine if I import data from a OLEDB-connection.
Regards
Mikael Forssell

I'm looking for a solution for the same thing. I have a pdf form with fields bound to an xml file, but Acrobat will only import the data manually (Forms / Manage Form Data / Import Data) and Reader doesn't work at all.
Tech Support says that when in Livecycle, you're working in an xml environment, so the 'Preview PDF' works. Acrobat and Reader aren't xml environments, so they won't display the data.
What we need is a javascript programmer who can figure this out. Possibly using the remerge function. Anyone???

Import some data from one oracle to another...

Hi Guys,
we have 2 oracle database servers on 2 different machines with schema.
I want to import some data from a specific table from one oracle into another oracle.
what is the way to do that.
Please help in details
Imran Baig

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Tables are already created in both of the oralce databases only the data varies. I just have to import only few records from one oracle to another with the same user name and table already existing.
I have tried using database link. I can view records from the other oracle database but as soon as i write an insert command oracle gets held. I cant do anything.
Is there any other way?

Import xml data from a variable locations

Hi,
Could some please help me with a solution?
Here's what currently runs on our server. An applications runs and does:
Create an unique folder
Copy a fillable, reader extended form into this folder
Put data in a XML-file (always same filename) and places that in the same folder
Open the PDF for the user to fill in the details.
Now, the change I want to make is to import the data from the XML file into the PDF. I used a button on the form using xfa.host.importData(). This fires up a browse-for-file-box so the user can select the correct xml-file. This works!
However, as the folder from where the PDF opens, is always a different one, the browse-for-file-box opens in the wrong folder. The user does see a XML-file, but that is from a different folder. So, what I wanted is the following:
The form opens
The PDF imports the data from the XML file automaticly, without user intervention
The user finalizes the form and saves it.
In short: How can I create a variable from the folderlocation where the pdf is opened, and merge that with the xml-filename?
Hopefully I than can use xfa.host.importData("filename.xml")
I hope someone can advise me! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
thanks for your responce. It sure was helpfull to have a look at that discussion. However, that article regards a defined source with a fixed path (xfa.host.importData("/c/path/to/xml/file.xml");)
There is my problem. I need to determine the path first since that changes every time. Then I want to import that file using code.
I hope my question is clear. If not, please let me know!
Regards,
Erik
By the way, I also tried opening the same pdf from different folders. Adobe Reader seems to remember where it looked previous for a XML-file. So,if there is a way to set the folder where the browse-for-file-box opens with, that would be great too!

Importing XML Data Back into the Form

I have a form that shows several subforms based on the selections the user has made while filling in the form. This is working quite well but when I import the XML data back into the form it doesn't show the subforms that have been used.
Is there an easy way to change this?
Thanks in advance!
Emma

Actually the issue may actually have to do with the fact that the connections aren't bound, but I haven't seen the data.
I have some fairly complex forms that include both subforms and instances, have an XSD embedded and export as XML. When I import the data, everythi
Now, that being said...
Are your subforms "hidden" and you opt to display them upon selection of a radio button for example, or do you SetInstances()? If you're using visible=TRUE or FALSE, that may also cause some issues.
Try this -- on Form:ready try this code:
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
else { // this is fisrt time open -- i sometimes had issues with subforms being visible on first entry
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
Then on:Click essentially copy most of the code you put in form:ready
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
Of course this will go on top of your radio button group.
If you are exporting to XML, it will make your life a whole lot easier, by the way, to import an XSD and bind your nodes, especially as your forms and data start to get more complex.
Finally, you may also know this but -- unless you have Forms Server, any user that wants to export the data or import the data will need to have at least full Acrobat Professional. If you want people to be able to save data in the form but import/export isn't that important, they will need to have full Acrobat.
I hope that helps a bit. Good luck!

Error while importing configuratio data of stellent 7.5.1 in OCS 10gR3

Hi,
I am upgrading Stellent 7.5.1 to Oracle Content Server 10gR3. On Stellent 7.5.1 I created a Template i.e. wwCmuExport and then explicitly selected Aliases, Security Groups, Roles & Personalization Data from Content Server Section. While importing it on 10gR3 it just hangs at Roles dependencies check and always gets the following error:
Roles
Error reading binder 'C:/Oracle/ucm/cmu/idc/bundles/user-roles-stellent_file-11-20090826T190001/roles/' File 'C:\Oracle\ucm\cmu\idc\bundles\user-roles-stellent_file-11-20090826T190001\roles' does not exist.On stellent 7.5.1 there are roles,groups tc. I even tried taking a full export of everything but it always fail at the Roles dependencies check. Any idea what might be the issue or which log file to look at. As I have external LDAP providers defined on Stellent 7.5.1 but on 10gR3 I did not define those yet and just am trying to import the configuration data etc. Are there any pre-reqs for importing nfiguration data that LDAPproviders etc shouldbethre. Don't know if the roles thing have to do anything with the providers not yet being defined on 10gR3. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Any firewall issues?
From the 7.5.1 machine can you open a command prompt and then telnet to the 10gR3 instance on port 4444? If you do that and you just get a hung response that means it connected. If you attempt and you get denied right away then you have kind of firewall/network stuff to work out.

Getting error while importing the data using loadercli

Hello,
I want to copy the data using export/ import via (loadercli).
scenario:
1) I have 2 server and i want to export data from old server and import in to new MAXDB server using loadercli.
I have done this once and it went fine , but now I want to do the export import again so i will have te latest data on the new server.
when i tried to do that it gives error that the table already exist . Can i use loadercli to import hte data again ?
can any one help me in this ?

Sorry mate, but YOU have to know what you want here.
I gave you an easy to follow set of steps.
As you don't seam to mind the outcome, just might just use them...

We had this discussion before...

Yes, you do have the SAPR3 user.
But you don't seem to like to read documentation or learn about how the tools work or anything like that.
Therefore I gave you s simple way to reach your goal.
Of course it's possible to reuse the user.
But then you would have to deal with already existing tables, already existing data etc.
You don't seem to be able to do that. So, the easy steps might be better suited for your needs.

Please help me out i am really helpless and dont know how to solve this error.

When you perform a bulk load, you basically tell SQL Server to execute a command local to the SQL server. What that means is that if you pass it a parameter that says load the file :
C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\Mineapp\Test2\Inbox\mine\load_demo2.txt
SQL Server is going to look on it's C drive for the file.
Unless you have SQL Server running on the FDM server, this is going to fail obviously.
The 'right' thing to do is setup your FDM app using a share name. (i.e. \\FDMSERVER\FDMAPPS\Mineapp instead of c:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\Mineapp).
If you are relatively handy with FDM, there is a config file (in XML) that has the path information for the apps and you just need to change it from the hardcoded C drive reference to the share you create.)
Your other option is to NOT load the fiels as bulk. If you have a lot of large data files being loaded, this would be a bad idea. If you have relatively small load files every month and not a lot of users on the system, this may not impact performance. I would update the path information if it were me.

Corrupt User Data Spinning Wheel Of Death Mac Palm Desktop Rev D

Hello,
My Treo 700p stopped working and Palm Desktop on My Mac will not open, import, or merge my user data files (current and backups). I've tried the apple-option Merge and import tricks to no avail. If it is set as the default user data, palm desktop will freeze on its splash screen and give me the spinning wheel of death. If i open, i get the message "Opening User Data One moment please..." with an eternal spinning wheel of death (SWOD). If i restore (apple-option merge) i immediately get the SWOD, If i merge, i am notified that the merge is successful, but then i get the spinning wheel of death before any data is displayed. I can open the userdata in textwrangler and see all of the phone numbers, notes, etc, but It seems impossible to parse into any format for reimporting or moving to my Pre. Are there any other tricks to opening the user data or recovering its contents. Any debug tools or software interrupts or anything I can do? Is there a way to open this stuff in a properly parsed format? Can User Data files be opened or imported by any other app? Also the Treo 700p gets power and the red light stays on but it never boots, perhaps there is a forensic tool that can recover the data?
Thank You for all your help and I would greatly appreciate any resolution.

What BDAqua said. Get those crummy fonts you added off the drive. At least one of them must be so bad that's it's corrupting RAM every time the system tries to load it.
A Safe Mode boot removes the user cache files of the account you log into in Safe Mode, and clears Font Book's database. Normally, that would allow you to restart normally since Font Book's database is not rebuilt until you launch Font Book. That you can't even get that far means you have some really BAD fonts.
Boot into Safe Mode again. Make a new folder on the desktop and move all of the fonts you added out of the /Library/Fonts/ folded, or the Fonts folder of your user account. Whichever one you put them in.
Now you should be able to startup normally.

To extend SAP user date and to add months to the current date

Hi All,
I need to extent the user date in SAP based on one condition.
If the condition is true extend the date by 12 monthd if false 6 months from the current date.
Can i have the FM for user date extentions and FM for getting the date.
Thanks,
Chandu.

Hi ,
You can use this FM for exteding the date.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      username   = us_username
      logondata = e_bapilogond
      logondatax = e_bapilogondx
    TABLES
      return     = i_return.
u need to pass date and correspoing flag also.
For extension of the date by months u can use this FM.
      CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_PLUS_DETERMINE'
        EXPORTING
          months = 6 or 12 ( depending up on ur logic)
          olddate = sy-datum
        IMPORTING
          newdate = us_expdate.
Thanks and regards.
