Is import & export working in ECC version?
i had one program. In which Export and Import is not working
properly in ECC 6.0 version where as 4.6C working fine.
If i commented the Import & Export than only it is working fine. Is there any other procedure OR how to use
import and export in ECC version. Please advise me it is very
urgent.

Import/Export between different Portal versions
Hi, is there any resonable argument for not allowing imp/exp between different version? The thing is a developed a Page Group on a 9i AS and now need to export it to a 10g AS. It reasonable to think that an imp/exp machanism should exist, at least, for the latest version.
Hi there,
Yes, there is a reasonable argument for that and that is that the export code will be different from the import code. This means that alterations to the code in order to be more flexible or to even fix an issue, for example, on the export won't be in-place. Now when you'll try to import with the different code this certainly will clash your system (as the problem may already be within the DMP file that you've exported).
Although your request does make sense the implementation part is not that easy to be done.
I hope it helps you to better understand the constraints...

Issue in sending the email with XL attachment in ECC version
Hi,
I have an issue with sending the email with XL attachment. My program is sending a mail to the receiver with XLS as attachment. Recently we have migrated from 4.6B to ECC version. Same code was worked in 4.6B.But it is not working in ECC version.When i try to open the attachment, i get a Dialog Box with the following message
"The file is not in a recognizable format.
1. if you know the file is from another program whih is incompatible with Microsoft excel,click cancel,then open this file in its original application
2.If you suspect the file is damaged, click help for more information about solving theproblem.
3.if you still want to see what text is contained in the file, click OK.Then click the text import wizard. "
when i click OK, the excel sheet is opening with all required data.
Can anyone kindly tell me why this is happening.
I am also attaching part of the coding related to this requirement.

Hi team.
I have a 4.6 C version an the import / export works fine.
But in the SAP ERP Central Component 5.0
I do the Export.
Review the abap memory and se the areas, but empty.
And when I do the import the data are clear.
Do you have any idea.
And i can't change for a SET parameter Id, becuase the data are numeric.
ThanksHi David, could you please post the a sample of the code that is not working?
Best regards

EXPORT statement in ABAP-Ecc version
I used EXPORT FLAG TO MEMORY ID 'MB51_FLAG'. in Ecc version.
when i do EPC check, i am getting error in Obsolete statments like..
EXPORT var_1 ... var_n TO MEMORY ... is not supported in the OO context. Use
EXPORT name_1 from var_1 ... name_n from var_n TO MEMORY ... instead . . . .
Can anyone tell me how to implement it Plz ...?Hi,
Instead of this:
EXPORT FLAG TO MEMORY ID 'MB51_FLAG'.
Use the very similar syntax:
EXPORT name1 = FLAG TO MEMORY ID 'MB51_FLAG'.
OR
EXPORT name1 FROM FLAG TO MEMORY ID 'MB51_FLAG'.
Then when you need to do the corresponding IMPORT you use the same syntax. Here's one simple example to demonstrate:
REPORT ztest_jrg.
TYPES: ty_ctype TYPE c LENGTH 20.
DATA: l_test TYPE ty_ctype.
PARAMETERS: p_test TYPE ty_ctype.
EXPORT ptst = p_test TO MEMORY ID 'ZTEST'.
IMPORT ptst = l_test FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTEST'.
WRITE: /1 l_test.

I am perfectly aware of how to do this using the old version of itunes.
however i just got a new macbook pro retina... and it came with the latest version of itunes.
and i was trying to import/export garage band files between my ipad and mac via itunes.
and the option for apps, that is usually on the left side where you can then select garage band from in itunes, isnt there in the new version of itunes.
has anyone got a work around for this?
thanks.
nicNic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?

ExportI/Import Actual Work for each resourse day by day
Hi all,
this is my first post and I'm trying to export some data by Microsoft Project Project Professional 2010 32bit (version 14.0.7140.5002).
I need your help in order to solve this issues :
(Priority 1) export actual work for each resource of my Project in the following format:
DAY;Resource Name;Summary Task Name; Task Name; hours
(Priority 2) Import actual work for each resource inmy Project in the following format:
DAY;Resource Name;Summary Task Name(if needed); Task Name; hours
I'm searching into forum but I'm not clear what is the correct object to use.
Thanks a lot for your help.
AlbertoIn primis thanks a lot for your answer.
I want create a macro VBA and add a "botton" on task bar in order to execute this macro - output format is CSV file but I think is excellent if I write it in Excel format.
I have partially closed first priority (you can see below code) - I need create a little message box in order to receive period and path output.
I appreciate your collaboration in order to help me. :)
Thanks

Datpump Export,Import across lower and higher versions
Versions involved : 10.2.0.4, 11.2.0.3
Operating System : AIX 6.1
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Lets say I export a schema in a 11.2 Database using 11.2 expdp .
Can I import the above dump (11.2) to a 10.2 Database using 10.2 impdp ?Setting VERSION=10.2 worked fine for me.
Since I was curious, I tested taking a table level export dump from 11.2.0.3 Schema using 11.2.0.3 expdp without VERSION parameter. I succesfully managed to import those tables to a 10.2.0.2 schema needless to say using 10.2.0.2 impdp.
I don't know how this worked . Maybe export,importing from higher to lower version at schema level might fail. Need to test it when I have time.
This is contrary to Oracle documentation (11.2 DB Utilities guide)
Data Pump Import cannot read dump file sets created by a database release that is
newer than the current database release, unless those dump file sets were created
with the VERSION parameter set to the release of the target database. Therefore,
the best way to perform a downgrade is to perform your Data Pump export with
the VERSION parameter set to the release of the target database
But, anyway I am glad that Oracle's superior coding has enabled me to export,import from higher to lower version. -
Import Export Utility not working on Windows Vista
Hi
I installed Oracle 10g XE on my brand new Windows Vista Business (SP1) machine 2 weeks ago. I then sucessfully imported an oracle export file which I had. I later installed Oracle Forms & Reports. However, today trying to use import or export gives me the following error:
On importing...
IMP-00058:
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
On exporting
EXP-00056:
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
I have tried everything... makinging sure my oracle home is set correctly in the PATH parameter, tried interactive import/export.
So when all else failed I installed 10g XE on a brand new Windows Vista PC that we have got just yesterday. Guess what.... straight after the install I get the exact same problem trying to use import/export! I then thought it must be a permission thing, there is only one user account on both PC's. This user is the Administrator, I have disabled all firewall, antivirus software but still no luck!
Please help..
Cheers

How to import/export a version?
Hi,
how to import/export a version?Not sure what you are asking here. If you are asking how to get data into DRM, then you are talking about the import process. If you are talking about how to get data out to other receiving systems, then you are talking the export process. Both of those processes are documented in the user help that comes with DRM.
If you are talking about an entire version, from say the PROD area to the DEV area, that process is dependent on what the database repository is stored in (ORACLE or SQL). -
Import/Export uses odiparam.bat for work/master Repository
When I do a import/export, the command appears to use the odiparam.bat file to pickup the work/master repository connections. This makes sense for the export, but the import has an optional parameter for the work repository. From what I can tell, this parameter is ignored (or am I doing something wrong). Regardless, of whether or not it is used, how would ODI know the connection (user/password) information if it was used. This would seem to indicate that the user WAS picked up from the odiparam.bat file.
Am I thinking about this correctly or have I missed something?
THow are you trying to do the import/export?
If you are importing the obejcts in designer - it will use the credentials you specified when you connected.

My HDD crashed and I had to reinstall my boot and programmes on a new HDD. I managed to recover my library.itl. How can i import it with the new version of itunes? When i try imprt playlist, it replies that it is not a validly exported file.
It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

My VI server and client works fine when I importing and exporting uncomplicated VI. When I import/export many input/output and complicated VI, that complicated VI doesn't give any output. I don't get any error in the error message either (it said "No error"). And my client program looks like it gets hang - I can't stop the program. In this case, I have to shut down the server program then I can stop the client program. Is there any way that we can solve this problem?
It's difficult to determine the cause of the problem from your description. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Bundle the inputs to your complicated VI's into a cluster. Do the same with the outputs. You will technically then have only one input and output. This will keep you connector pane a lot cleaner and less confusing.
2. Have Highlight Execution turned on in your complicated VIs. This will allow you see the portions of your complicated VIs that might be slowing them down.
3. Run your complicated VI's without VI Server and with a set of input data that allows your VI to run quickly. Then, using VI Server, pass this same input data to your complicated VI's. This will allow you to determine if there is a problem with the way you are calling y
our complicated VI's.

IMPORT issues: Works with iMovie 3 but not iMovie 6 ???
Okay, still trying to get my import issue resolved.
I have a SONY HDR-HC3 DVmini.
No problems with iMovie 3 on my Powerbook.
iMovie 6 on my MDD will let me control the camera, but the screen stays BLUE with no IMPORT.
My buddy thinks it might be a Quicktime issue.
He said to download Quicktime Pro, that might resolve this issue.
I can copy the iMovie 3 file to my machine with iMovie 6 and do the editing, just not the importing...
THANXHi
Can be so much.
Often Camera has to be connected to Charger/mains during Capture.
An majority is a faulthy - badly connected FW-Cable (USB don't work at all)
My list on this
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
*Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
from LKN 1935.
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?

• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.
