Master & work repository Export/Import

Hi all,
I have installed ODI on the production server.
I have to import the repositories on this prod server from the development server.
1.I am not having seperate schema for the master repository for the prod & I have to use the same master repository that was created for the development server SOothere is no import & export ??
Question is
Can I refer the same master repository schema in the production server that means all the connection details i.e it will be the linking of same repository that was there for DEV?? Can I do that??
2. I have separate schema for work repository in prod but have to use the work repository of the DEV server.
here I have to do import & export???
Please guide
Thanks
Sourabh

How 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.

ODI objects import in new Master and Work Repository

Hi,
I have created a new master and work repository.
Now,I need to import rest of the ODI objects which are associated with different Master and Work Repository.
How do i proceed. I need a proper sequence to import the ODI objects.
I mean topology,projects,model how to initiate.
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it essential to create a new master and work repository and import the master and work repository xml files.
Or if we just click on import master repository and give the connection details of where we want it will also work without creating it.
when I click on new in ODI tool, it shows two options create master repository and import master repository.
In my case which option should I go for?
I just need to create development env on new server by importing all the required xml files on my local machine.
Please guide...
Thanks.

Steps to be followed in Export/Import

Can anyone help me out defining the exact steps to be followed in exporting and importing the ODI objects?
I have exported the master and work repository. I created a new master repository by importing the zip file. I can see the architecture neatly imported into the topology. The problem starts when I try to import the work repository. It keeps throwing the integrity constraint error. I export/import folder-wise as the current work repository is pretty huge!!
It will be of great help if some one could explain the steps to be followed while export/import in ODI

Hi there,
It is typical of ODI to throw those errors, as the documentation is not quite comprehensive about how to do it.
Here are a few guidelines:
(i) Topology (master repository) should be exported n imported first. Then the models and finally the projects and the variables. Also, work repository export may not work if you try to export whole work repo at one go using File---->Export---->Work Repository !
So the best thing is File--->Export---->Multiple Export----> then drag all ur objects into the box and check the "zip" checkbox
Create separate zips for Models and separate for Projects and so on
And import Model zip before Project zip in your new repository
OR
(ii) Use database schema export and import. This has worked the best for us.
And I think it is the most flawless way of doing export import because you dont lose any objects and dont get any integrity constraint errors etc
Just export the master repository & work repository schemas and then import them in you new database

Upgrading to new version and references for repository export

Hello,
We have made a reference for repository export / import in MDM7.1 sp2.
Now we want to upgrade to the newest version of MDM 7.1 .
Is this reference automatically upgraded to the new version too or do have to upgrade and then start with a new reference?
Thanks in advance
Harrie

Hi Harrie,
You need to download the latest upgrade patches from Service Market Place. And install them.
1. Browse to SMP - https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001827872008E
2. Navigate/scrowl down to section - 'What`s New - Release Notes'
3.Select the latest patch you need >A window with details of that Release opens up > Select 'Download Corrections' > add patch to download basket > 'Download'to download the patches.

ERPI master/work repositories

Hi,
I was going through the tutorial given at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/financial-management/tutorials/configerpi-093532.html
My question is - If ERPI is installed on the same server as ODI.
Does ERPI needs its separate repositories (master/work repository) Or can it use the repository already created for ODI ?
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks.

It can use the master/work repository created by the RCU or a different one if required, choice is yours.
Cheers

Best way to import all objects into work repository located on a new master respository

Hi,
We have two separate master repositories, one for all development work repositories (Development, ST, UAT, IAT), and one for Production.
What would be the best approach to export and import all objects from the Dev Repository into the Prod Work Repository located on the Prod Master Repository.
Internal Ids of all work repositories are different.
We have tried putting everything into a solution and exporting that, but that did not work when we tried to import it.
We successfully exported and imported a single scenario, however this is not very practical as we have over 500 scenarios.
All suggestions welcome,
Thanks,
Nic

Thanks,
But we want to keep Dev Work Repositories separate to Prod Work Repositories on their respective Master Repositories.
So our end result will have:
1) All Development Work Repositories located in the Development Master Repository on the Development server.
2) The Production Work Repository located on the Production Master Repository on the Production Server.
3) The ability to update a Solution or similar in Development with all changes to any objects.
4) The ability to import the Solution into the Prod Work Repo on the Prod Master Repo and execute via a load plan.
Is this possible?

Importing Master Repository and Work Repository

Hi,
I need to Import the existing Master and Work repository(XML file) of Production Server on my client ODI.
How should I work around this.
Do I need to create a master repository and then import that file.
Provide a stepwise solution for it.
What else will be required to import to create the same environment?
Thanks.

Hey even if I change the physical server, how it will build all the source and target tables used in server's schema into my schema.
The thing is I want to replicate the task done on server machine.
I have all the ODI objects but from where I can manage the database objects from server to my machine.

Error while trying to upgrade ODI repository using export/ import

Hi,
I am getting below error while trying to import an ODI project from dev environment into my QA environment which has an older version of project.
com.sunopsis.core.SnpsNotConsistentSynonymImport: ODI-10013: This import action has been cancelled because it could damage your repository. This is due to an SNP_COL object that has object identifier 13712007 that is greater than that for the current SNP_COL id sequence.

Hi
Did you follow below approch
Goto Topology> File Menu>Export>Export Master Repository in ZIP format
File Menu>Export>Export Logical Topology in ZIP format
In Designer, go to File menu>Export>Export Work Repository in ZIP format
Quit from old ODI instance
Login into New ODi instance
Goto Topology> Import>Import Master Repository in ZIP format (please select INSERT and UPDATE Mode option from dropdown list)
Import>Import Logical Topology in ZIP format (please select INSERT and UPDATE Mode option from dropdown list)
In Designer Import>Import Work Repository in ZIP format (please select INSERT and UPDATE Mode option from dropdown list)
Note: Once it is done please change the Work repository ID on New ODI instance

Problem While Importing Work Repository

I am facing a problem with import and export in ODI.
I was working in ODI Designer and had to move my work repository from one host machine to another host machine.
After doing a database migration of the ODI database to the new machine, the master repository was imported.
There was no problem in importing the master repository.
While taking an export of the old work repository, I took an export into a zip file:
File---->Export----->Work Repository
And specified the zip file name there
Now the problem is, that when I import the work repository into the new environment/host/machine, it throws an error.........
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (SCHEMA_NAME.FK_COL_COL) violated - parent key not found
where SCHEMA_NAME is the Oracle schema being used as a work schema

Yes I believe that's the problem
Thanks a lot for ur suggestion, I'm going to try that
Because my schema had been created a month ago and there was some metadat already stored in it at that time
But now I wanted to REPLACE all that through ODI
But that seems an impossible task
So will try to drop and re-create the schema and then import.
I had some invalid interfaces in my export as well.......so that could have caused it
Well, in ideal terms ODI should throw an error when you try to export and if anything is invalid in your Designer
I guess the tool still needs to evolve
That's my perception but maybe I'm not following some procedures to do things in ODI ; long way to learn!

Export to another Work Repository.

Hi all,
I have a problem linked to the change of my work repository. Infact I have to change it but I'd like to save all my configuration. I had exported:
1. all my input datastores;
2. all my output datastores;
3. my interfaces, packages, procedures.
The next step I did, it was importing them in the new work repository in 'Synonym mode - Insert'.
At the end of this process, I didn't have the expected properly behaviour: in fact, in the interfaces configuration I have all my input datastores were blank. It's strange because these input datastores are correctly imported and I can, for example, build some new interfaces with them.
Do you have any suggestions about this issue?
Should I follow a different path for reaching my expected result?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
P

Thanks for your reply...
odiparams.bat seems to be for connect-information to the master-repository only.
I have set and verified the information in this file after migrating.
My problem remains; In my new metadata navigator I see the information from my old repository. But execution of the packages takes place in the correct dabatase; this confirms that my new master repository is being used...
I think my question is: Since it seems that my old work-repository is being used, where can I check the connection-information of the work-repository?
In Metalink note: 423585.1, there is said: "4. Edit each work repository that is now hosted on a new server and edit its connection parameters by clicking on the 'Connection' button"
... but I'm not able to find this button, and furthermore, I cannot find any connection-related information about Work-repositories in the Topology Manager.
If someone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreaciated.

Problem in export/import work repo !!!

Hi All,
Good Morning.
I have a problem with exporting and importing repositories. The description of the problem is given below,
I have a remote machine in that sunopsis is installed and all the developments,implementations,testing are happening there.
Now i need to stimulate the same environment in my local desktop(ODI is installed and master,work repo is created).
When i export the work repo from my remote machine and trying to import it in my local machine (from designer level import->work repo) after a while its saying "snp_lschema does not exists" error.
Any one have idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Guru

Hi Julien,
Thanks for your input. It really helpful for me.
I need some more clarifications,
Actually i exported my master and work repo from my remote machine (as a zip file) and saved it in my local drive (say D:/downloads/deploy.zip...)
So when i tried to import master repo from topology ( browsing the zip file and said OK) its not doing anything, i mean nothing happens after i said OK.
Should i have to copy this master repo zip in the Sunopsis installation folder (in IMPEXP directory) and then import it? Am i doing right?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Guru

Question about import the work repository

I am trying to import a work repository from server B to server A, originally the work repository in server B was imported from server A, I did some modification in Server B, and export it, now I am trying to import it back to server A.
I get the error as below:
com.sunopsis.core.n: This import action has been cancelled because it could damage your repository (problem with the identifier sequences)
in topology manager/repository, I have same ID in both work repository, what should I do to import this work repository back to server A?
Thanks

Bad news...
Unfortunately after start to create/delete objects the sequence of each repository get its own values and is not possible to syncronize it again after that.
Until today I saw export and import only working into empty repository.
There is a way to do the work manually, controlling each repository ID but is complex and take time.
Maybe Oracle support have some script ready for that.

Import work repository

Hi all,
Can anyone help me out on this:
I want to migrate my work repository from one machine to another after we have done some additional work which includes new Interfaces, but also changed properties for certain columns. Using the "import workrepository" option I can choose between INSERT, UPDATE and INSERT_UPDATE synonym-mode.
When I choose INSERT_UPDATE (which makes most sense in my case, I think), it always fails with the error that an object is updated by another user.
However, when I choose INSERT-mode, everything works fine; new objects are inserted and changes to existing objects are also updated.
Am I missing something here? I cannot find anything about this in the docs...
Thanks in advance,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,
Ok, seems that I had a environment a little different, in my case there were 2 Development Work Repository.
Anyway I already see the same situation between a Development Work Rep and the Execution Work Rep and the solution is (at the project I´m work right now, 25 ODI developers):
Deployment Steps:
1) Development Architecture:
Any object is a scenario, it means that after you create a procedure, an interface, variable... (any object!) you need to create its scenario. In this way the package that will define the process flow will have just scenarios inside.
This architecture will give you a little more work at the first deployment but allow you a better control of object (code) version at complex process when you need changes in a singe step for instance...
2) Deployment between Repositories:
At the first time of the object -> Normal export from Development Work Rep (Designer) and import in "Insert-Update" mode at Execution Work Rep.
Post first Deployment:
a) if you work with scenario version, just deploy the new version (it is like a first time) and make a new deploy of the "flow" package calling the new version at its related steep (unless if you are using the "-SCEN_VERSION= -1" at the call)
b) if you work just with "Regenerate" Scenario and are keeping the same version then you need delete the object at Execution Work Rep and import it again in the "Insert-Update" mode.
I hope to be helpfull!!! Any doubt, please, post new message!!!

Scripts for Exporting Master/Work Rep

Hi,
I want to automate the export process and in turn was looking for any scripts for exporting the whole ODI Work/Master Rep. I checked the CLASS objects and we donot have any CLASS names for Repository exports.
Thanks in advance for any answers..!
