Portal export/import between 9.0.2 and 9.o.3

I am aware that you can not export/import between portal installations on different versions e.g. 3.0.9 and 9.0.2 but is it possible to do export/import between 9.0.2 and 9.0.3?

The FAQ only states:
<<<<Snip>>>>
Portal Export/Import utilities will only work between portal installations that are at the same revision level. For example, Portal Import/Export will copy content successfully between two 9.0.2.x instances of Portal, but not between a 9.0.2 portal instance and a 3.0.9 portal instance.
That said, Portal Export/Import WILL work between two portal instances that are of different "minor" revision levels. For example, Portal Export/Import will work between a 9.0.2.2.14 portal instance to a 9.0.2.2.22 portal instance, and vice versa.

Portal Export Import with DB on different OS

Hi All,
I have a quick question about exporting the OracleAS Portal Metadata Repository database. Our source DB is on a different OS to our target DB.
We are going to apply the 10.1.2.3 patch and associated portal export/import patches to both nodes (from note 263995.1).
Our understanding was that we would use the method described in Chapter 10 of the Portal 10.1.4 Admin Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_18/portal.1014/b19305/cg_imex.htm).
However, according to metalink note#276620.1, because our source and target OS are different, we should use the database export/import methodology that is described in Chapter 11 of the Application Server 10.1.2 Admin Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_18/core.1012/b13995/prodtest.htm).
Could anyone tell me which way is better, we would prefer to use the database export/import method, has anyone tried this and what are their experiences.
Regards,
Tim.

Regards,
Tim.As far as your referred Metalink note is concerned, it gives you three options to move your repository with if you are working with 10.1.4 Portal.
It's a difference of can, should and must.
- It only shows ability to use three options ( can );
- on the whole, it does not give preferences for any method ( should );
- nor does it put a requirement for any single option ( must ).
( the only requirement/prohibition is for the option 2 which is not supported ).
we have used the first three methods given on the note (yes, we also tried 2; this note came later). 1 is what we use regularly for transports between environments; and 3 we use for environment staging (as given in chap 11 of pt. 3). both can be messy with a large repository (we do so for about ~400 GB) repository. but following that supportability guide (Metalink Note 333867.1), method 1 works too.
hope that helps!

Portal export/import on database 8.1.7 on an other machine

Hello,
I'm running Oracle8i on AIX. I have problem when I try full export/import my database (version 8.1.7) on an other machine. I have a problem with import users PORTAL30 and PORTAL30_SSO and CREATE TABLE 'WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$'
The log when import full is:

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.

Can i do client export import between systems with different patch levels

we want to do a client export import between two systems. As I understand the patch levels should be the same in both for this to happen..
But right now I am in a situation where time is a big constrant. The basis patch level is on par. But the rest are not. Can I do client import successfully at this stage.

The only thing that may stop it working could be additional functionality between the systems.
I work on XI and there is a huge difference between SP12 and SP15. We were able to do the transports between systems, but as Dev was patched before QA, and the transport was reliant on standard settings not being available, it still went though, but we had to transport it again after applying SP15 to QA.
Again, it probably depends on what System you have running on Netweaver...

Backout plan for Portal Export/Import

What is the best backout plan while doing the PORTAL export/import? Is cold backup of the Portal instance a good idea?

Dear Tarique,
I believe what you are looking is something like:-
ldapsearch -h %OIDHOST% -p %OIDPORT% -D cn=orcladmin -w %IAS_PASSWORD% -b "cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext" -s sub "orclResourceName=portal" orclpasswordattribute
... substitute the %OIDHOST% , %OIDPORT% and %IAS_PASSWORD% for your values.
This should easely return your Portal schema password.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Please advise if i am doing something worng.

Export/Import between two separate SLD's

Hello,
We're facing the next issue. We want to move some single (custom created) Products with some single Software component versions (SWCVS) from 1 SLD (SLD1) to another SLD (SLD2) that are fysically separated. We do not want to create an export of the full CIM content of SLD1. Anybody experience with this creating exports of single products and single SWCVS. What should be the order importing these in the target SLD (SLD2).
As we are running on SLD 7.00 we also created Software units. Still the aim of these units is not completely clear to me and documentation on this is quite poor. How should we deal with production state? At what moment in a development cycle should the state be changed??
Is it possible to also export import these software unit definitions from SLD1 to SLD2?
Thanks for your comments!!
Regards,
Emile

HI,
I am not sure, how it works with software unit definitions.
This guide may help you-

So I think there may be a manual intervention required here..

Portal Export / Import Problems

I'm trying to export a Portal application from a solaris development machine running Portal 3.0.7 to a solaris production machine running 3.0.8 and I'm having problems.
As a starter I thought I'd try just the Login Server and the Security bits in that order.
Everything seems to go okay with both the export and import using ssoexp.csh/ssoimp.csh and secexp.csh/secimp.csh but when I navigate to the new production site and try to login with one of the usernames and passwords that should have been imported, I get an authentication failure.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Garry

Folks,
Here is the output I receive after running the appropriate import scripts

From the output you can see that there is data being imported for the Portal users but not OPDSTATS the user I wish to use, and have created on my development site.
However the WWUTL_SSO_TX_PERSON$ table has an entry created for OPDSTATS. I have compared the encrypted passwords for opdstats on dev and prod databases and they are the same.
The logon user OPDSTATS uses a schema called OPDUSER that is not created on the database after import of both Login Server and Security.
I can however logon as portal30 and have tried updating the table WWUTL_SSO_TX_PERSON$ with the portal30 encrypted password for the opdstats user, again this was unsuccessful.
Any idea anyone ?
Thanks

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. 
Into Upgrade Paths 10.2, you need to upgrade your 8i firstly in 8.1.7.4. 
Into Upgrade Paths 10.1, you you can directly migrate. 
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. 
 
Nicolas.

Full Export/Import Errors with Queue tables and ApEx

I'm trying to take a full export of an existing database in order to build an identical copy in another database instance, but the import is failing each time and causing problems with queue tables and Apex tables.
I have used both the export utility and Data Pump (both with partial and full exports) and the same problems are occurring.
After import, queue tables in my schema are unstable. They cannot be dropped using the queue admin packages as they throw ORA-24002: QUEUE_TABLE <table> does not exist exceptions. Trying to drop the tables causes the ORA-24005: must use DBMS_AQADM.DROP_QUEUE_TABLE to drop queue tables error
As a result, the schema cannot be dropped at all unless manual data dictionary clean up steps (as per metalink) are done.
The Apex import fails when creating foreign keys to WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$PART. It creates the table ok, but for some reason the characters after the $ are missing so the referencing tables try to refer to WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ only.
I am exporting from Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.1 and importing into Standard edition 10.2.0.1, but we are not using any of the features not available in standard, and I doubt this would cause the issues I'm getting.
Can anyone offer any advice on how I can resolve these problems so a full import will work reliably?

Thanks for the lead!
After digging around MetaLink some more, it sounds like I'm running into Bug 5875568 (MetaLink Note:5875568.8) which is in fact related to the multibyte character set. The bug is fixed in the server patch set 10.2.0.4 or release 11.1.0.6.

Export/import of mappings using OMBPLUS and Collections?

Hi,
We've got some good TCL code to export (and import) mappings for our projects along the lines of:
OMBEXPORT MDL_FILE '$projname.mdl' \
PROJECT '$projname' \
CONTROL_FILE '$controlfile.txt' \
OUTPUT LOG '$projname.log'
and now we're moving to organizing mappings by OWB COLLECTION and need to export/import by collection instead. Thought it might be as simple as this:
OMBEXPORT MDL_FILE '$collname.mdl' \
FROM COMPONENTS ( COLLECTION '$collname')
CONTROL_FILE '$controlfile.txt' \
but that's not working (saying "Project $collname does not exist.", so it seems to still be treating what I thought was a collection name as a project name . Can someone point out the right syntax to use COLLECTIONs in OMBEXPORT/OMBIMPORT?
All thoughts/tips appreciated...
Thanks,
Jim C.

Hi,
If we use the below tcl script for the entire project export , does it also export the locaitons,control center,configurations along???
If yes then can you gimme the script for altering the locations , control center/configuration connection details??
OMBEXPORT MDL_FILE '$projname.mdl' \
PROJECT '$projname' \
CONTROL_FILE '$controlfile.txt' \
OUTPUT LOG '$projname.log'
Can you also provide me the tcl for project import??
Thanks

Portal export & import

hi all,

Export - import between ASO and BSO cubes of different structure

Hi everybody!
I have a 'large' ASO cube with information for a period of several years.
I need to be able to load a smaller slice (e.g. one quarter) from the 'large' cube into a BSO cube with a different (simpler) structure , perform calculations and then load the updated data back to the 'large' ASO cube.
What's the best way to approach this (import - export)?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi GlennS,
Hello and thank you again for the help.
I'm running version 9.3.1
The ASO cube has 12 dimensions plus 8 attribute dimensions.
The BSO cube - 8 dimensions plus 2 attribute dimensions.
Data size:
The ASO cube is about 1 GB, about 16 M input level cells. Only about 10 % of it will be extracted and loaded into the BSO cube.
The BSO cube is ~ 300 MB fully calculated. 300,000 existing blocks
I prefer not to load the BSO cube from the same source as because ASO cube contains not only the source data, but also modifications - for example - allocations etc. I would like to keep these modifications and to be able to load (modified) data to BSO, make additional modifications and then 'save' the modified data back to the ASO.
How should I approach loading data back to the ASO? I will need to 'replace' a slice of ASO cube - delete the 'old version' cells and load new version from the BSO cube.
Thanks,
Alex

Export & import between 32bit and 64bit windows

I need to move a schema over from a 32-bit windows machine to a 64-bit windows machine.
both machines are network mapped,
so
I exp it out from 32 machine
copy and paste from 32 to 64 machines
then imp into 64 machine
and get this error
IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
machine oracle utilities are:
Export: Release 10.2.0.1.0
Import: Release 10.2.0.1.0
help please.

Are you using original exp/imp or data pump?
exp/imp should be able to handle 32bit to 64bit transport.
It's either your dump file got corrupted during transfer.
Or your database server is not same version as your utilities. Please verify and post your Oracle server version.

Exporting/Importing between Motion and FCP

Hi, I'm trying to export a piece of DV PAL Anamorphic video footage into Motion to adjust it and then export it back into FCP. But when I export it back to FCP I don't seem to be using the right settings as it becomes squeezed 4:3. It's still in anamorphic in Motion, my problem is just when it exports from Motion back to FCP.
Can you help me work out what I'm doing wrong please?

Final Cut forgets it's anamorphic after it's little outing to Motion. Simple right-click on the clip in the timeline, select item properties, and add a checkmark in the anamorphic line.
