Is time to export-import location dependent

I had a doubt that does the export-import process depend on the location from where it is performed. I will try to explain the scenario. There is export-import to be done of a server in Africa as the migration to a new server is required. My question is does it make a difference in the time it takes to export-import, if the SecureCRT session is logged on from here, Africa itself or if the process is done from a far off location, say, India as some of our DBA team is in India.
So, the doubt is does the export-import process depend on the location from where it is performed?
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.
regards

You need to clarify from an Oracle perspective what the client machine is in this scenario (i.e. the machine that is connecting to the Oracle database). What machine is the export utility running on and what machine is the export utility writing to?
If the export utility is running on the same machine and writing to a dump file on the same machine regardless of where the DBA is sitting, then where the DBA is sitting is irrelevant. If the export utility runs on a different machine or writes to a dump file on a different machine depending on where the DBA is sitting, then where the DBA is sitting is relevant.

How to do export/import

Hai
Please guide me how to do the client copy -import/export method. i want to do from prd to dev. os -windows,db-oracle,sap 5.0
1. What are pre request for that.( pre checking)
2.approx. time for client copy.
3. how to check the client size and dbsize.
4.test run will effect the prd system.(ie client wants to lock during the client copy testing..)
5.what are the other things i want to follow.
Thanks in advance.

You may want to do the client copy when users are not working on the system. For the client export/import, source system can be used as soon as export process is ready. You can use reports like RSSPACECHECK for the size of client. Client copy export/import timings depends on your hardware configuration, database size etc. You will need to decide on client copy profile before starting the export.
You may want to refer to the following SAP notes:
SAP Note 552711 - FAQ: Client copy
SAP Note 489690 - CC INFO: Copying large production clients
SAP Note 118823 - CC-ADMIN: Size of a client

Importing more than one file at a time from a network location

I can import a song at a time from my old networked location, but I have hundreds of songs to import. I can't seem to find out how to do this at least an album at a time. When importing from a CD it'll do the whole cd. I would like to import the whole group the same way I was able to import a whole folder of photos into Iphoto. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Either use finder to drag and drop those tracks onto
"Library" in iTunes' left "Source" column or from
iTunes Menu Files use "Add to Library ..." then
navigate to a folder that keep a yoru tracks and
select that folder.
This did it! I was doing an "import" which would only let me do one song at a time. But the "add to library" and the drag and drop both worked. Thanks!!!

Export / Import Time

Hi All
While exporting (EXP) and Importing (IMP) from oracle 10g, can we know how much time remaining for the export/import.
regards,
Mudassir

i can only estimate the size and not the timeWell if you have a size estimate... start DP again in normal mode monitor the size and once you have worked out the MB/per second rate you will be able to use the estimate size to get an end time.
Kind regards and I hope this helps.

Reduce export import time

Hl All,
I want to reduce the total time spent during export-import.
Restrictions:
=========
1)Cross Platform
2)exp and imp from lower version to upper version
3)No 10G database
Basically i want to do exp and imp in parallel so it reduces the total time spent on this activity. I thought of doing schema level exp-imp in parallel but i am afraid of the dependencies.
Is there any other way to achieve the same or if i go with the above specified approach, can anyone provide some valuable inputs to that.
I am trying to automate the above so that it becomes one time effort and rest all the times it(script) should do at his own.
Thanks and regards

Hi All,
Data volume is not less than 60GB and not more than 150GB.
If i use a pipe on unix in between exp-imp what if my exp is slower at any
point of time and import is faster(Any reason)?
is import going to wait for the contents coming into the pipe through export or import will fail.
I can consider creating indexes using the flat file.
is there any way to get only the indexes in the flat file, i mean if i use indexfile
option for import it gives me "CREATE TABLE..." statements too which means import utility is reading full
dumpfile and giving me the output, i want only the "CREATE INDEX..." statement in the flat file.
What about the schema level export and import?
Any valuable inputs or proper steps from anyone out there
Any restrictions while importing the schema's.
Thanks and Regards

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

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.

How can we model different receipt days in a location depending on the start-destination relationship in an optimizer run in SNP?

We have a business scenario where the receipt days for a location depends on the relationship between the Start-Destination Location. We need to include this constraint in an optimizer run with daily buckets.
Example:
Factory A (Start Location) ships to DC X (destination location) only on Mondays, with a lead time of 2 days. DC X should receive the stock from Factory A on Wednesday
Factory B (Start Location) ships to DC X (destination location) only on Thursdays, with a lead time of 1 day. DC X should receive the stock from Factory B on Saturday
Does anyone has been able to model this scenario?
I tried using transportation calendars(time stream) in the means of transport, having undesired results:
a) Transportation Lane A-X. Calendar 1A, only Monday is available
The system creates stock transfers on Monday on Week 1 and ends on Monday of Week 3.
b) Transportation Lane A-X. Calendar 2A, Monday and Wednesday are available
The system creates stock transfers on Monday and Wednesday on Week 1:
      The stock transfer that starts on Monday-Week 1 ends on Monday-Week 2.
      The stock transfer that starts on Wednesday-Week 1 ends on Wednesday-Week 2.
c) Transportation Lane A-X. Calendar 3A, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday are available
The system creates stock transfers on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on Week 1.
     The stock transfer that starts on Monday-Week 1 ends on Wednesday-Week 1. (this is actually what I need)
     The stock transfer that starts on Tuesday-Week 1 ends on Monday-Week 2.
     The stock transfer that starts on Wednesday-Week 1 ends on Tuesday-Week 2.

you really don't need to post all that code, few people will read it, or try to compile/run it.
just a tree in a scrollpane in a frame is all you need, then add the method/problem to the basic,
and post that so its only 20 to 30 lines long.
here's your basic tree/scrollpane/frame, with an expandAll()
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    JTree tree = new JTree();
    expandAll(tree);
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(tree));
    f.pack();
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
public void expandAll(JTree tree)
    int row = 0;
    while (row < tree.getRowCount())
      tree.expandRow(row);
      row++;
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}so, is your problem with the expandAll(), or with reading the properties file?

SLD Export / import Technical and Business systems

Dear all,
I am new to SLD administration.
We have task to update the local SLD on the Production PI system PPI ( Target ) with the business systems ZEC, ZSC from the Production Master SLD on Production solution manager system
PSM ( source ) using Export/Import on the necessary technical and business systems.
Please confirm whether i am following correct steps :
Go to SLD Administration on PPI target system
ALL Instances
Instances by Class
Model
( which one of this option need to be selected , please let me know ?? )
Go to SLD Administration on PSM source system.
select Export button ->
Select business systems one by one and perform Export which will create .ZIP file
at local machine.
Go to SLD Administration on PPI target system
select Import button ->
Select Export ZIP file which created in previous steps from PSM and provide location from desktop
Start Import button ( only if you get Continue import option )
Please let me know if above procedure is correct for business systems
if yes then what need to be done for Technical system ??...do they require Export/import also ?
If yes when i go to technical system option i get Export option disabled...but same way when i go to
business systems option i get Export button enable and able to perform the export.
Do i need to only Export / Import business systems ?
Plese help me.
Regards,
RR

Manoj,
It seems entries are added manually .... should we remove and run Import for the same ...
or just try to overwrite .... in case of overwrite option ( as we have open OSS message ) SAP has suggested through OSS message that If you end up with problems when trying to overwrite, then the PPI SLD is broken and will have to be re-built because someone made a manual change to it and got the GUIDs out of synch with the master.
I do not understand if target system PPI SLD gets broken during overwriting operation as mentioned by SAP ... whats is the way / steps / procedure to Re-build SLD .
In rebuilt - process do i need to Import ( Export -> Export lines -> ALL ) the export backup created before start of this activity ? please let me know SLD rebuilt steps and about Remove - reimport issue.
Appreciate you time on this. thanks in advance.

Using export/import to migrate data from 8i to 9i

We are trying to migrate all data from 8i database to 9i database. We plan to migrate the data using export/import utility so that we can have the current 8i database intact. And also the 8i and 9i database will reside on the same machine. Our 8i database size is around 300GB.
We plan to follow below steps :
Export data from 8i
Install 9i
Create tablespaces
Create schema and tables
create user (user used for exporting data)
Import data in 9i
Please let me know if below par file is correct for the export :
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=y
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB

LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y

TRIGGERS=y
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
Thanks,
Vinod Bhansali

I recommend you to change some parameters and remove
others:
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y -- This will increase better storage
structure ( It is good )
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=n -- if you set that parameter in yes you
can have problems with some objects
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y -- ( start the database in restrict
mode and do not set this param )
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TRIGGERS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
you can see what parameters are not needed if you apply
this command:

Export Import to Maintain Test and Production Environments

We have developed an application using Locally built Database Providers in Oracle Portal 9.0.2.6 which is installed to 2 schemas, has 5 different providers, and over 100 Portal major components (Forms, Reports, and Calendars) and over 200 minor components (LOV's and Links). We have used export/import transport sets with some luck, but it is a struggle becuase the import procedures are not very robust. Many things (such as missing LOV's, corrupt components, preexisting versions, etc, etc.) can cause an import to fail. And the cleanup necessary to finally achieve a successful import can be very time-consuming.
Having a robust import mechanism is very important to our strategy for keeping installed (our own and clients') portal instances up-to-date with our latest release. Some of the enhancements that would make it much easier to develop and maintain Portal applications include:
Within the Portal:
1. Ability to copy an entire provider within the same portal (rather than one component at a time).
2. Ability to change the schema to which a Provider is associated.
3. When copying a component from one provider to another, the dependent items (i.e. LOVs and Links) should be copied to new second provider as well. (i.e. rather rebuilding each LOV in each provider and then editing each form to point to the new LOVs)
Transport Sets:
4. Should allow for changing provider names and provider schema, and global component name changes, and resetting unqiue id's on import (to create copy rather than overwrite).
5. Should allow the option to ignore errors and import all components which pass pre-check (rather than failing all components if all items do not pass pre-check).
How are other Portal Developers dealing with installing and then rolling out new sets of Locally built Database Providers from Development environments to Production? Are there any whitepapers on the best practices for replicating/installing a portal application to a new portal instance and then keeping it updated?
Oracle, are any of my wish-list items above on the future enhancement lists? Or have others figured out workarounds?
Thanks,
Trenton

There are a couple of references which can be found on Portalstudio.oracle.com that are of some use:
1. A FAQ for Portal 9.0.2.6 Export/Import http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/9026_EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_0308.HTM
2. Migration Instructions by Larry Boussard (BRUSARDL)
3. Migrating Oracle Portal from Dev Systems to Production Systems bt Dheeraj Kataria.
These are all useful documents for a successful first-time Export-Import. However, the limitations and lack of robustness I listed in my first post, make the process so time-consuming and error fraught as to not be a practical development strategy.

R/3 Export & Import during Unicod Conversion via SOCKET Method

Hi
We are in the process of upgrading our R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0. The size of the database is around 4 TeraBytes.
Can somebody help us with necessary documentation/ othe rinputs to handle R/3 Export & Import using SOCKET method? FYI we referred the SAP given doucments on the same. Any particular DOs & DO NOTs would be highly appreciated.
Thank You
Sai

Hi Rahul
regarding your 'Unicode doubt"' some ideas:
1) The Upgrade Master Guide SAP ERP 6.0 and the Master Guide SAP ERP 6.0 include introductory information. Among other, these guides reference the SAP Service Marketplace-location http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap.
2) In Unicode@SAP can you find several (content-mighty) FAQs
Conclusion from the FAQ: First of all your strategy needs to follow your busienss model (which we can not see from here):
Example. The "Upgrade to mySAP ERP 2005"-FAQ includes interesting remarks in section "DO CUSTOMERS NEED TO CONVERT TO A UNICODE-COMPLIANT ENVIRONMENT?"
"...The Unicode conversion depends on the customer situation....
... - If your organization runs a single code page system prior to the upgrade to mySAP ERP 2005, then the use of Unicode is not mandatory. ..... However, using Unicode is recommended if the system is deployed globally to facilitate interfaces and connections.
- If your organization uses Multiple Display Multiple Processing (MDMP) .... the use of Unicode is mandatory for the mySAP ERP 2005 upgrade....."
In the Technical Unicode FAQ you read under "What are the advantages of Unicode ...", that "Proper usage of JAVA is only possible with Unicode systems (for example, ESS/MSS or interfaces to Enterprise Portal). ....
=> Depending on the fact if your systems support global processes, or depending on your use of Java Applications, your strategy might need to look different
3) In particular in view of your 3rd option, I recommend you to take a look into these FAQs, if not already done.
Remark: mySAP ERP 2005 is the former name of the application, which is named SAP ERP 6.0, now

Problem with the Export/Import Utility when importing a .portal file

Hi there !
I got the following error when trying to import a .portal file to a desktop by using the Export/Import Utility.
<13-11-2009 12:13:26 PM CLST> <Error> <netuix> <BEA-423487> <Import: did not add navigable [2203] as it would cause an illegal dependency.>
The error is shown several times, starting from the number [2203] until [2285].
It causes that i can't see some pages of my portal... it's like they dont exist.
I Hope you can help me fix it, because i have not found any information about it.
Best regards
P.D.: I am using the BEA Weblogic 10.0.1 version.

Imovie takes a long time to export

I Edited in iMovie a two-hour movie, I added music and transitions. And now takes three hours to export and said that will export the full movie after 94 hours.Is a long time.
How can I try trahat it takes fewer time to export. For example 4 hours

Hi again Tirney,
That does sound like a long time for a 2 hour movie. Did you export using File>Finalize Project? If so, that may take quite a while to complete. That's because Finalize Project actually exports at all the different sizes, such as Mobile, Medium, Large, HD 720p and HD 1080p depending on the original source. It's best to decide what size you want, then choose (from iMovie's Menu) the option Share>Media Browser.
If producing a DVD, you can access the movie from iDVD's Media/Movies pane. Just drag the movie into a Theme background.
Otherwise, you can access the movie from the project's package contents folder. In Finder multi-column view, click on your User (Home) folder Movies, then iMovie Projects. Right-click (or Control-click) on the name of your project and select Show Package Contents. In the Movies folder you will see your exported movie (or movies). They will be either .m4v or .mov files, but both will be in H.264 format. If you wish to use them elsewhere, copy then paste them to your Desktop (or preferred location) - don't move anything from the package contents folder!
John
