OLS label migration

Question

Hi all,
I am running into what I hope is a problem that I can overcome.
Scenario:
1. There is an Oracle instance with OLS in a lab A.
2. When data is inserted, TO_DATA_LABEL is called to automatically create a label if it does not exist. This is a necessary evil because any permutation of levels, compartments, and groups can be used and pre-generating labels is prohibitive.
3. Daily, the data in the lab A is exported, burnd to disc, and imported into an Oracle instance in lab B.
Problem space:
1. Must take labels from lab A to the instance in lab B.
Where the trouble begins
Generating the statements to carry the labels over is easy. We end up with a bunch of statements like this:
execute sa_label_admin.create_label('My_Policy', 1000000000, 'Sensitive');
This is where the issue begins. There is an error thrown when executing this statement in lab B.
The error:
ORA-12427: invalid input value for label tag parameter
My thoughts
It would appear that the numeric label that was generated in lab A is beyond the threshold of what Oracle allows when explicitly creating a label. All values up to 99999999 work, but those above seem to be reserved by Oracle.
This is going to be an issue in this scenario because unless numeric labels can be created in lab B exactly as they are in lab A, the data loses meaning. Can anyone advise me of a way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Answer 1

Migration Utility was used for a lot of customers having very complex application for Planning and also for Consolidation.
I know at least 10-15 big customers which used the Migration Tool moving their appset from 4.2 to 7.0.
Of course the number of customer where the Migration utility was used is even bigger taking in consideration the migration done by SAP Partners certified to use Migration Tool.
I hope this will help.
