MDL export and import in the same repository

All-
I am having a little trouble finding and understanding the exact rules of MDL exportings and importings?
I have 1 repository.
IN this repository I have say, 3 projects.
I want to use and MDL export to selectively export 50 mappings from project 1.
I then want to to an MDL import and import those 50 mappings into project 2.
It says I cannot do this due to the same object already being in the repository.
Is there an option or way around this?
If I do a copy/paste, it only lets me copy and paste 1 mapping at a time, and I have to copy, close the current project, open the next project, and then paste the mapping! LOTS OF TIME!
Is it possibly to do what i want easier....I am thinking it can't happen within the same repository, but possibly if I had another repository.
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,
There is a work around for this.
1. First you export all the mappings into a mdl file.
2. Rename the project name as <Source_Project>_Copy
3. Rename the Destination project name where you want to import the mappings as the source project name <Source_Project>
4. Commit the changes.
5. Import the mdl file.
6. Rename the Destination project which is renamed as <Source_Project> to <Dest_Project>
7. Rename <Source_Project>Copy as <SourceProject>.
8. Commit the changes.
9. Check the objects.
Note: But make sure that, the structure inside the projects are same.
Thank you,
Regards,

  • Exporting and importing only the Incremental datas

    Dear all,
    we r facing a big time consuming process of changing oracle schema datas from live servers to out testing servers..
    scenario as follows:
    1. .dmp files of size 1GB to 3 GB are taken from live server and posted in test servers to check the live issues
    2. same sized dumps are taken for simulation to rectify issue
    this type of above process consumes the whole time for exporting and importing
    can any one suggest me how can the incremental data's alone can be exported and imported to the test server.
    Hoping that i can get a valuable solution for this
    Thanks in Advance
    S.Aravind

    Hi Aravind,
    as Nicolas specified RMAN would be the best option.
    Incremental data refresh is not possible through exp/imp. but there is a possiblity of writing a script which automates this refresh process.

  • SCM 3.0 - Why does Exporting to GPO Backup and Importing back the same LocalGPO alter the settings so drastically ?

    What I did:
    Specialize a Win 7 computer Baseline (Baseline A)
    Export the duplicated baseline to the GPO Backup Folder.
    Use this the exported GPO Backup within a MDT task Sequence
    Create a new computer with this task Sequence. It completes successfully.
    Export with LOCALGPO Tool the Baseline (BaseLine B
    Compare to the Windows 7 SP1 Baseline copy - (Baseline B).
    Result (see pictures):
        Total unique settings compared: 317
        Total settings in common: 205
        Total settings not in common: 112
    Settings that differ (15): Just one exemple:
    I ask for "Audit System events" Success and Failure (Baseline A) and the result is NoAuditing. Strange isn't it?
    Settings that match (190): Cool.
    Settings only in  Baseline A (57) Just a comment:
    There are a lot of settings with the value: No one. Are these values correctly exported and correctly positioned on the new computer?
    Settings only in baseline B (55) Just a comment:
    There are a lot of characters badly recognized. I think there is a problem with French Language.
    How can I trust SCM with so many errors? What can I do to correct these errors?
    I use Security Compliance Manager 3.0.60.0 with settingLibrary Version 2.0.82001

    After reading  social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/720f6515-47fc-4805-8ccb-dc144cb72078/action?threadDisplayName=gpo-backups-import-merge-export-problems I think I've identified that some of the differences come from the Not Defined/Not Configured
    settings not being backed up in the GPO Backup.  I can live with that.
    The other issues are attributed to flaws within SCM 3 regarding GPO Imports...hopefully they'll be sorted out by the team soon.

  • Can't play and import at the same time...

    Using iTunes 7.3.2 - playing songs stall/skip while importing CD in Apple Lossless format. Any suggestions appreciated - Thanks!

    Don't play the songs while importing them.
    The CD is trying to read to import & play at the same time so it's jumpning all over.
    In addition, it uses a lot of processor power to encode to Apple Lossless.

  • Export & Import in the same DataBase

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export and import in the same DataBase but in different User/Tablespace, the imp procces create the objects in the same Tablespace of the export. What can I do to create a copy of a schema in the same database?
    Thanks. JEA

    I am not sure if I am reading your question correctly, Create a new user in your database.
    Use the command line (DOS) command 'exp80 username/password@hoststring'
    there are a number of parameters here, you can find their meanings online if you search for 'export ORACLE command line parameters', I don't know what your requirements are but you have to set the FILE parameter with the name of the file you wish to store your output in(ext should be .dmp).
    To import, use imp80 and log on as the new user you created then the following parameters need to be set:
    File= your file name
    SHOW = n
    IGNORE = n
    GRANTS = y
    ROWS = y
    FROMUSER = old user name
    TOUSER = new user name
    TABLES = *
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to replace masters with versions without going through the process of exporting and importing?

    Is it possible to overwrite the master files with the versions without having to go through the entire process of exporting and importing back the images?
    Thnx in advance

    A small refinement if you shoot RAW. Remember, no RAW file can ever be edited or rewritten. Thus, in the old days, the flow was:
    RAW>TIFF/PSD and you ended up with two large files. (This is why some folks used to delete the RAW Masters.)
    With Aperture the flow is something like:
    RAW+Version(s) Only the Version is only 30 KB. (There is, of course, additional overhead of Thumbs and Previews, but, depending on your settings, this is only a fraction of the size of a TIFF or PSD.)
    You question goes right to the heart of the concept of a non-destructive workflow. With Aperture you always preserve your original Master file; the only things that are ever at risk are your edits (called Adjustments). Ironically, this is even more valuable if you shoot JPEG or TIFF as those files could be rewritten.)
    Aperture goes to great lengths to give you the best of both worlds; you always have the Master to revert to and your "edits" take up very little disk space. And you don't have to waste time trying to sync folders of RAW, TIFF, and JPEG. Similarly, you never have to worry about resizing images, changing color spaces, or any number of other things that get locked into an image file when you use a destructive workflow.
    Remember, Aperture will happily Export files in any format you may need. Export 'em, use 'em, delete 'em - your Masters are still safe in Aperture.

  • Separate Distribution Monitor Export and Import Processes on Multiple Machines

    Hi,
    Would you kindly let me know whether it is possible (means officially supported way) to run Distribution Monitor Export and Import processes on different machines?
    As per SAP note 0001595840 "Using DISTMON and MIGMON on source and target systems", it says as below.
    > 1. DISTMON expects the export and import to be carried out on the same server
    I think it means that export and import processes for the same tables must be run on the same machine, is it correct? If yes, Export on the machine A, and then Import those exported data on the other machine B is not the officially supported way... (However, I know it is technically possible.)
    Kind regards,
    Yutaka

    Hi Yutaka,
    Point no. 2 & 3 clarify the confusion. However let me explain it briefly:
    Distribution Monitor is used basically in case of migration of large SAP systems (database). It provides the feature to increase parallelism of export and import, distributing the process across available systems.
    You have to prepare the system for using DistMon. A common directory needs to be created as"commDir" and in case you use multiple systems for executing more number of processes of export and import then that "commDir" should be shared across all those systems.  And this is what the Point no.1 in KBA 1595840 mentions about. Distribution Monitor will run both the export and import process from the machine which is prepared for using DistMon and DistMon itself will control the other processes i.e. MigMon. No need to start separate MigMon.
    For example: You are performing a migration of SAP system based on OS:AIX and DB:DB2 to  OS: HP-UX and DB: Oracle. You need to perform the export using DistMon and you are having 4 Windows servers which can be used for parallel export/import. Once you have prepared the system for DistMon which hosts the "commDir" you'll have to provide the information of involved host machines in the "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file. Now when DistMon is executed it will distribute the export and import process across the systems which were defined in "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file automatically.

  • Exporting and Importing Virtual servers with Windows 2012 R2 Hyper V

    Hi
    We are looking for various options / best practice in exporting and importing VSs between Windows 2012 R2 servers. Live migration we tested between servers in same VLAN and it's fine, but some servers are in different VLAN and hardware firewall is there
    in between. So we exported the VS and while importing it, there is no option to export each Virtual disk to separate partitions / LUNs. Is it fine to create a new VS in the new server and just copy the VDs from the other HV host server, or exporting and importing
    is the only proper method?
    Thanks in advance
    LMS

    Hi Laljeev,
    Please allow me to state my understanding of the two methods :
    1.when you want to copy vhd you may need to shutdown the VM , further more if there is some snapshots I think it will be a  trouble .
    2.  "export" you still need to shutdown VM but it doesn't have the trouble with snapshots .
    The other way I will use is , "move"  all of the VM's data to external disk then import it into destination hyper-v server (it can decrease the off-line time of VMs).

  • Custom step type Export and Import

    Hi,
       I have created custom step types similar IVI for all my HAL drivers.
    I need help in sharing it with my team in different locations.
    I am looking at exporting and importing of the custome step types similar to templates.
    Could anyone help me with this.
    Thanks in advance
    Anna

    Anna,
    when creating the step type definition, you have picked a location for it. By default, it is "MyTypes.ini".
    You can create your own custom ini-file containing your specific step types in the type editor.
    When distributing your step types, you have to pass the ini-file containing the type definition(s) AND all sources connected to that types (substep modules).
    On the target machine, you have to include that ini-file in the system for type definitions in the type editor.

  • WSUS - Server 2012 R2 - Export and Import

    Greetings,
    I have a Server 2012 R2 system with the WSUS role installed.  This server resides on a disconnected network so we must bring updates from an online WSUS server.  I have experience performing successful exports and imports in the past with Server 2008
    R2 and WSUS 3.0 SP2 (with KB2828185).  However, I have yet to get a successful import on Server 2012 R2.  The issue I am experiencing comes after what appears to be a successful import.  All of the updates show up in the catalog, but none of
    the approvals are there.  I approve the relevant updates and the number of updates needing files on the status screen increase, but they never verify the content.  The individual updates are stuck indefinitely waiting for content with no errors to
    be found anywhere.  Both servers have identical OS and WSUS configuration.  Here is my procedure.
    Source Server
     - Approve/Decline relevant updates
     - Wait for download to finish
     - Run Server Cleanup Wizard
     - Backup WSUSContent directory using 7-Zip to break into DVD size files
     - wsusutil.exe export export.xml.gz export.log   (I've tried export.cab and export.gz, neither produces a different result)
     - Copy and extract all content to disconnected server.
     - Import metadata with "wsusutil.exe import export.xml.gz import.log"
    As I said, I get no related error messages in any event log, SoftwareDistribution.log, WindowsUpdate.log, Change.log.
    When I've done this in the past with WSUS 3.2, the status dashboard would show all the approved updates that require content and that number would quickly decrease as the system would validate the files in the WSUSContent directory.  This is occurring
    on both my test server and my live server.  I'm confident that I have missed something, but I need help.  Anything that anyone can offer would be appreciated.

    Hi Wayne,
    Before we export and import updates, we should confirm that the settings for express installation files and update languages on the WSUS export server match the settings on the WSUS import server. If these settings do not match, updates will not
    be correctly applied.
    >> I approve the relevant updates and the number of updates needing files on the status screen increase, but they never verify the content. 
    Please try to run wsusutil reset.
    If issue persists, please check if the WSUS content folder has the proper configuration.
    Besides, could you please restart the export WSUS server and export/import again?
    Best Regards.

  • Designer 6i and 9i on the same box

    Can I run Designer 6i and 9i on the same box?
    In different Oracle Home of cources
    thank you in advance
    Albert

    Albert,
    Yes you can install 6i and 9i together without problems.
    Patch versions of 6i and 9i repositories are even compatible, although updates on the repository are certified only from one of both. Browsing should be possible from both 6i and 9i against the same repository. though.
    Compatible versions are:
    6i 9i
    4.6 9.0.2.4
    4.5 9.0.2.3
    4.4 9.0.2.2
    etc.

  • Is it possible to export and import the roles and users tables?

    Hi,
    is there any possibility to export and import the role and user definitions?
    We have a SAP MDM repository with a lot of roles and users and also with a lot of changes.
    And now I'm searching for a fast and efficient way of managing the roles and users.
    Thanks and Regards, Melanie

    Hi Melanie,
    There is no export/import functionality for roles and users.  The only way to manage these in an automated way would be to write a program that uses the Java or ABAP APIs.  Both APIs expose functionality to create, update and delete roles and users.
    Hope this helps,

  • Client Copy- releases of the export and import systems have to be identical

    Hi All
    I created a new client using the Remote Client Export \ import method (on the same system). The reason being is that I need a 2nd Test Client on the same system with a smaller data set for other testing purposes. As well as needing to re-import the same Testing Client after a future database restores from a different backup, and still needing the same small data set for testing after the restore whipped it out.
    Now that the 2nd Clients data set has been used, I've been asked for a 3rd test client, the same as the 2nd originally was. (No problem I figured) So I created the 3rd Test Client (SCC4) and tried importing the same transport files as created the 2nd Test Client.
    But I'm receiving the error message "Releases of the export and import systrems have to be identical".
    I am on the same system as the originial client export was made from, so the SAP release is the same.
    The only other thing I can think of is that we have imported some customizing transports from the Dev system into the original system since the export was taken.
    Can anyone help? Is there anyway I can get this back?
    Ken

    Solution found: Note 1291394 - ERROR : TA194 When performing multiple imports in the same client.
    I've imported the note, run the report as per instructions and I can happily say the Import is now running. Although it does seem to be taking a lot longer than it did for the original import.
