Migrating cubes using export/import

Dear All,We need to migrate a cube (approx 6 gig) to another server. We are running Essbase 6.1p3. I have done a "save as" to copy the outline to the other server and performed an export of "all data" from the source db (export file is approx. 6 gig). With the limitation of 2 Gig in import, I am having problem migrating the data. The option of exporting at input level/ level 0 and then reaggreating the db will not work as all aggregation were performed using dynamic calc scripts.Please help.

You might try the parallel export. We use the command:PAREXPORT "-threads 8" -IN "D:\HYPERION\ESSINTEGRATION\APP\INTEXP.TXT" "1" "0"; In the file - INTEXP.TXT, we have 8 filenames for it to write the exports to.We are also running 6.1 patch 3a. We use this to get around the 2 gig limit. It breaks the exports into 8 files. However, it doesn't break them evenly so you may still run into the 2 gig limit.

  • 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

    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 )

    not necesary )
    TRIGGERS=y -- this value is the default ( It is

  • Need help with database migration using export/import

    Hi,
    I am planning to do a database migration from 8.0.6 to 10.2.0.4. I am using export/import. Please answer some of my queries:
    1) Do i need to do full export using SYS/SYSTEM user.
    exp80 system/manager file=c:full.dmp log=c:\full.txt full=y consistent=y
    2) Will there be any data corruption while export.
    3) Is export/import the only method of migration/upgradation.
    Please help
    Thanks.

    I'll answer the specifics that I know about your questions, but please look at the post from Srini for additional info:
    1) Do i need to do full export using SYS/SYSTEM user.
    exp80 system/manager file=c:full.dmp log=c:\full.txt full=y consistent=yA full export will move as much information (metadata/data) as possible. In order to do a full export/import, you need to do this from a
    privileged account. A privileged account is one with EXP_FULL_DATABASE for export and IMP_FULL_DATABASE for import.
    2) Will there be any data corruption while export.The data in the objects that you are exporting is being read, nothing is written to user data. I'm not sure what this is available in 8.0.6,
    but if you need a consistent export, look to see if consistent=y is available in 8.0.6. All this means is that the dump file created will have
    consistent data in it.
    3) Is export/import the only method of migration/upgradation.If you are changing hardware, the only supported way from 8.0 to 10.2.0.4, that I know of, is using exp/imp.
    Hope this helps.

  • Homogeneous system copy using export/import on WIn/Ora

    Dear experts,
    i need to know the homogeneous system copy procedure using export/import method for following scenario as we are in the process of Data center migration of SAP systemsfrom location to another location.
    Source system:
    ECC6/BI7/APO(ABAP stack)
    OS:WIndows 2003
    D:B:Oracle 10g
    Target System: New hardware installed on Virtual environment(VMware)
    No change of SID
    ECC6/BI//APO
    OS:WINDOWS2008
    D:B: Oracle 11g
    It would be great if anyone can share the documentu2019s/links (Not SAP homogeneous system copy guide) which you have prepared for the homog. system copy using export/import on Windows/oracle  as i have done the system copy using backup/restore for ABAP stack and export/import for Java stack so far.
    Therefore i am not sure about this procedure/prerequisites/checklist needs to prepare as i have gone through the SAP guide but it is not step by step document.
    Cheers

    There are two approacahes for your  project
    1) First wether to use Oracle11g on target database
    2) Continue with Database Oracle 10.2 on traget database
    If you want to use Oracle11.2 on your target database you have to search the installers which are supported for 11.2 database. If the installers are available then only you can install your target database using Oracle11.2.Other wise t use Oracle10.2.0.4 is supported on Win2008r2. You can use this version of Oracle database to build ur target database.It works fine . Absolutely no problem.
    Later on you can upgrade the Oracle10.2 to 11.2 Onwards.
    If installers are avialble you can use Oracle11.2 also. There is absolutely no problem.
    As per my knowledge installers are available and supported with Oracle11.2.Also check the PAM before arriving on any deciscion.

  • Offline Instantiation of a Materialized View Site Using Export/Import

    Has anyone had any success performing offline instantiation of a materialized view site using export/import in Oracle9?

    This is what I wanted to ask in the forum. I want to use datapump for the initial instantiation because I believe that indexes (the actual indextables, not just the definition) are also replicated using datapump.
    So, is it possible to do the instantiation using datapump?

    Thank you,
    Yes we've done that. They've confirmed a problem with the links/scripts on the note. The 10.1 and up version was not really 10.1 and up.
    As they would not have a new version available in time for the move we needed to perform, we switched our approach to using dbms_redefinition instead.
    Thanks for the reply,

  • Are there performancebenefits to reorganizing database-using export/import?

    I have a production database using Oracle 9.2.0.5, which has been running for last 3 years since it was upgraded from 8.1.7. At that time we had done full export of 8.1.7 database and then created 9.2. instance and then imported all the application schemas.
    Load on our database has been increasing and there are constant pressures from management to improve performance. We have looked at indexes many times, have lots of memory for SGA and have tuned various init.ora parameters. Being a third party packages, we cannot rewrite queries.
    Application is a mix of OLTP and reporting, it is definitely more read than write.
    Are there any benefits to reorganize database using export/import, i.e., we will do a full export of existing database and then delete all objects from application schemas and do schema imports. We will run the dbms_Stats again to recomputed statistics. Of course, we will test all of that in a test environment before making change sin production.
    I have heard different views on reorganization. Some people say it is useless, some people say it can improve performance since data will be placed homely in fewer blocks.
    Appreciate your feedback.

    Hi,
    Oracle gave us reorg utilities (dbms_redefinition) because Oracle does not do real-time reorganization for performamnce reasons.
    In some applications, reorgs are critical to high-performance, while in others, it may make no difference.
    Remember, a reorg simply puts the indexes and tables into their "optimal" pristine state.
    The most striking benefit of table reorgs is when a "sparse" table experiences lots of full scans. After the reorg, response time can be cut in half.
    Also, in cases where related rows are queried together, a reorg with row-resequencing (like 10g sorted hash clusters) make a bif difference:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_table_row_resequencing.htm
    But like I said, it depends on many factors . . .
    Hope this helps . . .

    Though you have got links already for using the exp/imp , I would strongly suggest that when you mention backup/recovery, RMAN is the tool that you should be using. Exp/imp is/was never considered as a backup tool. You should read this paper to get the answer of "why rman" ?

  • Backing up using Export/Import & ITL, XML file formats

    Using Windows XP I have reset my default Itunes folder to c:\Itunes (too big for MY Documents\...). then copied everything from c:\itunes to an external hard drive. (I didn't realize the ITL file doesn't move and therefore I may not have a good backup of it.
    Starting with a new computer, installed Itunes, then did a 'File, Add folder to library (with copy option)' from the external hard drive. This restored all my songs but I lost playlists, play count & my ratings.
    I then did an import from library.xml, this restored the playlists, but still no play count or ratings.
    My question is
    1) IS there a better way to backup from Hard Drive to Hard drive? (Maybe all I really needed was the ITL file also?)
    2) what is the format of the ITL file (I am a systems programmer, would appreciate a URL that has detail), what (hopefully free) utility would edit it?
    3) a high level view of the XML file (I know XML)
    4) Where is there complete documentation on Itunes ( a detailed description of export/import would be appreciated)

    Here's my old standard answer for this topic - hope you can find something useful from it ...
    iTunes Music Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml must stay where you found them.
    To move your music files, use iTunes to do the work. Don't manually drag them around yourself.
    • change the library location in iTunes Advanced Preferences tab, the new location does not need to exist; iTunes will create it. The new location should be empty of music files. This just sets the location for any new files brought into iTunes; it does not affect any existing files in the iTunes library.
    • Select iTunes Advanced menu, Consolidate Library command. This copies all iTunes music files to the new library location. Playlist & Ratings data is preserved!
    • After it completes (assuming no errors), quit iTunes and get rid of the original files from your previous location. The xml & itl files must remain in the old location, the library location setting does not control the location of these two critical files.

    what do you mean by "re-org"?
    why do you think a "re-org" is necessary or beneficial?

  • Migrating owb using import/export

    Hi All,
    Please could anyone throw some light on how to Migrate owb using import/export.
    we are presently having owb installed on 32 bit database with RHEL 4 os. we planning to migrate to 64 bit database with 0el5 os.
    we have planned to do export/import. my question in this is could we use export/import for migrating owb schemas with owb installed in the new server.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regrads,
    Prajwal

    Hi Prajwal,
    I do not recommend exporting and importing the owb repository schema, it will not work properly.
    First, create a new repository on the new db. Then export your projects (make sure you select include all dependencies) using owb metadata export and evetnually import it into the new database.
    Note that you wil loose all deployment status information.
    If you also have target schemas in your db, then unregister them first before migrating the data to the new db. In the new db you have to register them at the new repository. Finally you have to redeploy all mappings (using replace) in order to make them work again.
    Regards,
    Carsten.

  • Database Migration 10g, difference in export/import from 8.1.6 and DBUA

    i would like to know if there is any difference in migrating using export/import methods from 8.1.6 and migration using dbua from 8.1.6 -> 8.1.7 -> 10g. In terms of tablespaces, datafiles performance .
    Will the DBUA convert the tablespaces automatically to take advantage of 10g ?
    Thanks .

    Hi,
    If we refer to the Oracle doc, it's depend of your 10g release.<br>
    Into Upgrade Paths 10.2, you need to upgrade your 8i firstly in 8.1.7.4.<br>
    Into Upgrade Paths 10.1, you you can directly migrate.<br>
    Anyway, you need to use 8iexp utility, and 10g imp utility : Using Different Releases of Export and Import 10.1 or Using Different Releases of Export and Import 10.2.<br>

  • Export/Import Parameters dissapear when using user-exit

    I am using some import/export parameters in a dynamic action when I create a new record (infotype). I am also using a user exit to avoid modifying BEGDA and ENDDA when I modify the record (IPSYST = 'MOD'). Using this user-exit, the parameters dissapear from memory so the dynamic action does not execute well. What can I do to use the user-exit?? Anything to add?

    In the dinamic actions when I create, I delimit records on infotype with export/import parameters defined in infotype Module Pool. When I delete, I avoid deleting the record if it is not the last one. With the user-exit the modification of begda endda in infotype is not allowed. If I use the user-exit, the dinamic actions which use export/import parameters, don't work.
    I have tried to do in MP what I do in user-exit but it is not easy because I haven´t got in PSAVE what I want.

    And Export/Import is also used to move personalizations and substitutions from one system to another system.
    You can also use Functional administrator UI to export and import pages.
    Functional administrator in turn uses export/import internally.
