Metadata export/import to other BI tools?

Metadata export/import to other BI tools?
Hi ,
I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughs on following.
As we build our logical/physical models in SQL data Modeler, we create our metadata for our attributes/columns.
After creating our physical model, other BI and reporting tools acquire access to the physical tables. Each tool has a process of creating their reporting layer and able to bring the tables/columns into reporting layer. It shows the column names as it is. It is not business friendly.
Do we have a mechanism to export attribute business names as meta data of DB tables?
If we define the meta data as part of physical model using modeling tools such as Oracle SQL Developer or ERWIN, will we able to import those into BI tools as report elements meta data?
Where can I find details?
How do we do that?
Thanks in helping us out.

Hi,
there is no problem if you are building reports on top of our reporting repository - table DMRS_MAPPINGS holds information for pairs - (entity- table), (attribute-column)...., and you can take implementation and business name.
Exchange to BI tools - you need to know how particular BI tool can recognize and link implementation and business names and then you can use transformation script in order to provide required information. There are examples on this forum how to deal with files and database connection using transformation script.

Best practice metadata export/import for WebCenter portal

Hi
I'm using JDeveloper to build the WebCenter portal. When I let's say register a portlet producer along with my portal, the information about it is stored in the metadata. In case I want to move my portal from the integrated WLS which JDeveloper provides to another WebLogic server with WebCenter installation - steps which I need to do are:
1) Export the metadata from JDeveloper
2) Import metadata to my target Weblogic server
3) deploy the application
Am I missing something?
To export/import metadata from JDeveloper to another Weblogic (equipped with WebCenter) server I should use the WLST script, right?
Thanks

Opportunity import without other admin tools

Is there a way for me to enable the opportunity import in addition to the typical Marketing Import without the full
admin privilege? When I enable the 'Admin Import' privilege even Oracle Migration Tool On Demand and Oracle Dataloader On Demand
are enabled, which I don't want.

Not at this time. I would recommend that you submit an enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.

Difference between "Archive/restore" and "Export/import"

What's the difference between the utilities "Archive/restore" and "Export/import"?
Which utility must I use for putting my maps from a development environment to a production environment?
For the moment I am using version 9.0.3.
I will migrate to 9.2 when the version for AIX is available.

Marc,
You should use OWB Metadata Export/Import utilities (not to be confused with Database Export/Import utilities).
The Archive and Restore utilities will be desupported in the next release of OWB.
The exact differences are documented in "OWB 9.2 User Guide", page 15-12, "Differences Between Archive and Export" and page 15-23, "Differences Between Restore and Import". The same sections are available in "OWB 9.0.3 User Guide", pages 11-45 and 11-46 respectively.

Fast EXPORT/IMPORT Question

I have a 200+ GB Oracle 9i DB on UNIX, many tables have primary keys/indexes/constraints. Assuming nobody accessing/using the DB, what is the best procedure to speed up export/import? Both of these will happen on the same machine/OS and RDBMS version. No RMAN please. Thanks.

include the following -
direct=y
recordlength=65535
export file on seperate disks to the datafiles.
import -
recordlength=65535
buffer=64M (or higher)
export file on a seperate disk to the datafiles
Not many people use recordlength, definately a quicker way to export/import.

How to export/import database from tools menu in sql developer.

Hi,
I need to export database from a server and import it on another db server using the export database function under tools menu in SQL developer. How do I import it? This is for Oracle 10g database.
Thanks

Depends what are you trying to do? Are you making a database copy or just creating an empty schemea or creating schema with the data?
With 10g, you have also options of using datapump (expdp/impdp) and conventional export/import which is very usefule and easy to use when it comes to create a clone (duplicate schema) or an export/import of some objects.
If you right click on table object, you have options of export ddl/export data and import data but thats different thant what expdp/impdp or conventional export/import provides. For very small database you can use sqldeveloper but consider
using other above mentioned options. Hope this helps

Export/Import integrator metadata between instances

Hi all
We have hit recently a situation with some customers who would like to migrate integrator related metadata from one instance to another (integrator, components, mappings, layout, parameter list).
They are doing this using FNDLOAD. For example
Download phase on the source.
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bneint.lct XXCOHR_Integrators.ldt BNE_INTEGRATORS INTEGRATOR_ASN="XXCOHR" FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bnemap.lct XXCOHR_mapping.ldt BNE_MAPPINGS MAPPING_ASN="XXCOHR" FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bnelay.lct XXCOHR_Layouts.ldt BNE_LAYOUTS LAYOUT_ASN="XXCOHR" FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bnecont.lct XXCOHR_bnecont.ldt BNE_CONTENTS CONTENT_ASN="XXCOHR"
Upload phase on the target.
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bneint.lct XXCOHR_Integrators.ldt FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bnelay.lct XXCOHR_Layouts.ldt FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bnemap.lct XXCOHR_mapping.ldt FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/bnecont.lct XXCOHR_bnecont.ldt
The problem is that after trying to create a document using the new BNE elements they are getting various errors.
No parameter list definition at parameter list idor No Mappings exist for the specified Content.
I have had a look at some patch delivering integrators via the same LCT files , and the unified driver has for example the following sequence which is executed during the patch

I couldn' find anywhere this process being documented in an official document or Note.These customers have used some external non-oracle references fordoing so.
Is there anywhere a document giving more information on how this export/import is supposed to work?
Please reply to me directly as I am not part of this mailing list.
Thank you and best regards,
Dan

Looks like you have not transferred your parameter list. Please use following code to download and upload your parameter list.
Download
FNDLOAD apps/$FNDPWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $ BNE_TOP / admin / import / bneparamlist.lct GENERAL_201.ldt BNE_PARAM_LISTS INTEGRATOR_ASN = "HX" INTEGRATOR_CODE = "GENERAL_201_INTG"
Upload
FNDLOAD apps/$FNDPWD 0 Y UPLOAD $BNE_TOP/admin/import/bneparamlist.lct GENERAL_201.ldt
For mapping there is a possibility that you might have migrated wrong content. You need to migrate content which is none instead 'text'

Audio levels raised when AIFF exports imported to Pro Tools

Hello -
I've exported ("as AIFF" command) multiple (channel grouped) tracks as AIFF mono files and imported them to Pro Tools. Several of the exported AIFF files, however, peak (clip, run hot) within PT. The original audio clips in FCP do not peak, nor do the AIFF files if I drop them back into the FCP sequence from which they came. Why is this happening, and how might I prevent it?
Exports are 16bit/48khz, which is how they were recorded in camera and edited in FCP.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Rich
G5 dual 800 Mac OS X (10.4.8) FCP 5.0.4; PT HD 7.0.3

not th efirst time I've seen or heard people complain of FCP's levels being too high when exporting ... I'm not privvy to the codebase so can't explain the why's and wherefore's but can offer some workarounds to try:
either bring down the Master fader in the Audio Mixer window or select all and press Cmd-Opt-L then pull the levels down a few db "Relative" to their current level.

Suggestion needed in export/import ODI topology from one machine to other

Hi,
I am trying to export all ODI topologies from one machine(A) to other machine(B).Can I export/import whole topology.While doing the same whether created repositories and existing topolgy in machine (B) would be replaced.I don't want to get the existing things in machine(B) to be replaced.Can anyone suggest on this?

you can always select the Import Mode as 'INSERT' if you don't want anything to be overwritten. Yes, you can export/import the topology, logical topology, execution environment by using the options in the Topology tab(top right corner dropdown).

Usage of export , import tools in SAP 4.6C

Hi Gurus,
Can you please guide me how to do sap data export & import in 4.6C version?
Kindly guide me how to documents and also any related blogs on this.
Siva

Hi Vankan,
Your question is so extensive that should be explained a bit.
Could you please be more specific? Which platform are we talking about? DB, OS, etc?
Which kind of export/import do you want to carry out?: e.g.: client transport, client copy, homogeneous system copy, heterogeneous system copy...
The technique you will use for that depends on what you want to do and on the platform you are working on.

When using export/import between different releases, you need to use the older version of export to create your dump file. In your case, you must use the 8.0.5 export utility to export from your 8.1.7 database. You need a tnsname in your 8.0.5 tnsnames.ora that points to your 8.1.7 database. Then you use SQL Net to connect and do the export. So, instead of doing exp system/manager you would do exp system/manager@tnsname. Just be sure to use the 8.0.5 export, and your import will work fine.

Export/import utility from within apex

using a push button.But how can i achieve this using a similar button in the oracle apex.
Pls give me a helping hand.Thanks.

Hello:
The Oracle Data Pump utility is now the preferred tool to use to import and export data and metadata from an Oracle database. Oracle Data Pump provides capabilities that far exceed those provided by the older imp/exp programs. Further, in addition to command line invocation of the tool, Oracle Data Pump has a set of pl/sql APIs (DBMS_DATAPUMP) that will let you do import and exports from pl/sql. You can therefore easily set up an APEX page that will accept a bunch of parameters and execute the appropriate procedures within DBMS_DATAPUMP to do the export/import.

GUI Export/Import Dump feature?

Will SQL Developer ever have a GUI Export/Import wizard. Right now we use the exp/imp DOS commands to acheive this. It would be nice to have a GUI guide you through the process in SQL Developer.
Thanks
Alex

Sorry I could not respond earlier. This week has been absolutely CRAZY 4 me.
What I'd like to see (in addition to what Tony just mentioned above) is a Wizard kind of interface that lets me export/import an entire database/schema/table etc. I should be able to select the from and to character set. I should have all the options available in the current command line exp/imp utility (but in a good GUI interface). I'm just pasting all the command line options currently available with exp/imp below. Some of these options can be permanent settings which can be specified somewhere in the preferences. The things that change with each export or import like userid etc.. can be options on the wizard.
In addition to that if you have sql*loader control file also that would make it a great tool indeed!

Best choice for exporting / importing EUL

Hi all
I have been tasked with migrating an EUL from a R11 to a R12 environment. The Discoverer version on both environments is 10.1.2 and the OS is Solaris on oracle db's.
I am unfortunately not experienced with Discoverer and there seems to be no one available to assist for various reasons. So I have been reading the manual and forum posts and viewing metalink articles.
I tried exporting the entire eul via the wizard and then importing it to the new environment but i was not successfull and experienced the system hanging for many hours with a white screen and the log file just ended.
I assumed this was a memory problem or slow network issues causing this delay. Someone suggested I export import the EUL in pieces and this seemed to be effective but I got missing item warnings when trying to open reports. This piece meal approach also worried me regarding consistency.
So I decided to try do the full import on the server to try negate the first problem I experienced. Due to the clients security policies I am not able to open the source eul and send it to our dev. I was able to get it from their dev 11 system but I dismissed this as the dev reports were not working and the only reliable eul is the Prod one. I managed to get a prod eex file from a client resource but the upload to my server was extremely slow.
I asked the dba to assit with the third option of exporting a db dump of the eul_us and importing this into my r12 dev environment. I managed this but had to export the db file using sys which alleviated a priviledge problem when logging in, I have reports that run and my user can see the reports but there are reports that were not shared to sysadmin in the source enviroment are now prefixed with the version 11 user_id in my desktop and the user cannot see her reports only the sysadmin ones.
I refreshed the BA's using a shell script I made up which uses the java cmd with parameters.
After some re reading I tried selecting all the options in the validate menu and refreshing in the discover admin tool.
If I validate and refresh the BA using the admin tool I get the hanging screen and a lot of warnings that items are missing( so much for my java cmd refresh!) and now the report will not open and I see the substitute missing item dialogue boxes.
My question to the forum is which would be the best approach to migrate the entire eul from a R11 instance to a R12 instance in these circumstances?
Many thanks
Regards
Nick

Hi Srini
The os and db details are as follows:
Source:
eBus 11.5.2
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Target:
ebus 12.1.2
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production DEV12
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Yes the DBA initially did an exp for me using EUL_US as the owner but a strange thing happened with privileges and also, some of the imported tables appeared in the target environment under the apps schema(21 tables) even though the eul_us exp had been 48 tables.
I also had a problem on the db with "eul_us has insufficient privileges on table space discoverer" type errors.
I checked the eul_us db privileges and was unable to resolve this initial privilege error even though the privileges were granted to eul_us.
The dba managed to exp as system and then import it with the full=y flag in the import command which seems to bring in the privileges.
Then I ran the eul5_id.sql and then made up a list of the business areas and made a sh script to refresh the business areas as follows:
java -jar eulbuilder.jar -connect sysadmin/oracle1@dev -apps_user -apps_responsibility "System Administrator" -refresh_business_area "ABM Activities" -log refresh.log
This runs successfully and I can log in select business area and grant access to the users. The reports return data.
Then one of the users said she can't see all her reports. I noticed some if I opened desktop that were sitting there prefixed with a hash and her version 11 user id.
So back to the manuals and in the disco admin help the instructions are to first go to view > validate > select all options then go to the business area and click file refresh. This gives me a lot of warnings about items that are missing. I assume this is because the item identifiers brought across in the db dump are the version 11 ones and thus not found in the new system.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Nick

Error while exporting - importing application

Hi All
I was trying to export my apex.oracle.com app and was importing it to my local db installation environment. Encountered with an error:
*1 error has occurred*
*NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your application version.)*I found that in my local environment, some features were missing like page of Type "Master-Detail" was not there while creating a page in my local instance. (My app is not using any mater-detail page, but it may be using some features which are missing in my local version). Want to know about the following:
1. The APEX 3.2 (apex.oracle.com) DB version so that I can upgrade my DB instance version.
2. Is the error telling about the incompatible application version or the DB version? How can it be addressed?
Thanks
Bhavesh

Hello Bhavesh,
>> That means my env is the newer one, still it is not compatible with the app created on an earlier version. Not sure why?
The compatibility issue you encountered is about the APEX version and NOT the database version. The same APEX version can be installed on different database versions, starting with 9.2.0.3 or later.
As each new APEX version adds new features, which manifest in the metadata table structure (among others), you can’t install an application from an advanced APEX version on an earlier APEX version.
The version on apex.oracle.com is 3.2, while the default APEX installation on a new 11g database is 3.0.1. As such, if no specific upgrade were done to your local APEX instance, you won’t be able to import applications from apex.oracle.com.
As was suggested, the only feasible solution is to upgrade the local APEX instance to the version on apex.oracle.com.
Regards,
Arie.
Please remember to mark appropriate posts as correct/helpful. For the long run, it will benefit us all.
