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 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.

Is it possible to export/import subclips between 2 different computers?

hi,
i am collaborating on a project with someone, we need to export/import subclips between 2 different computers. is thisa possible, and how?

Hi there,
I'm the other collaborator on a project with Jelly Belly. As I am coming from using abode premier pro to final cut, the concept of sub clips is new to me.
We are planning on capturing close to 50 mini dv tapes, in as far as possible complete master clips for each tape. Once this is complete we will have all master clips copied to two identical 1T external hard drives.
Then the plan is to break the master clips down into sub clips in order to thin out and better organize the footage. To speed this process up we plan to do this concurrently on two separate computers, at this stage both running Final Cut Express 4. Once this is done is it possible to import those sub clips into a new project? At this point we will most likely running Final Cut Studio 3.
If so then how would one go about doing it?
Thanks for any further advise on this.

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.

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:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 22973:

Thank you.

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 with FULL=Y

Hello DBA's,
after consulting several thread on exp/imp with the option full=y the doubt that I have left is when using imp with full=y ignore=y in a new data base, the data base obtained will be equal to the data base from which export with full=y became. Thanks for its answers.

export full=y
will export all the user ,roles,tablespace creation scripts,tables all the datadictionary views
for example if u connect the databse with single user try to get the privileges from the existing Db and then
create the database in the new server
create users and grant privileges before import;
then import with fromuser= ,touser
if you issues FULL=y
it will start creating all the system ,index and all the other tablespaces provided it should have the same directories as it is in current DB
to avoid create the dataabse ,tablespace users then import with fromuser,touser option
thanks

Export/Import with apps user or EUL schema owner ?

Hi,
I am working with a migration plan to move Discoverer 9 to Discoverer 10.
It is an apps mode EUL, where business areas and workbooks have been granted to Apps Users & Responsibilities.
Customer has only maintained the EUL with the database user of the EUL owner.
What is recommended for exporting/importing the EUL from 9 to 10.
To connect to Administrator as the EUL owner, or to connect as an apps user ( SYSADMIN ? )
Will all the grants to apps users/responsibilities work when importing as schema owner ?
I tried to create a entire EUL export file connected as EUL owner, and for the workbooks the export log contained :
1234#.Workbook name1
2345#.Workbook name 2
1234 is the user_id for the workbook owner ( All workbooks have been created by an apps user )
Will the import process manage to convert this user_id, and set the correct owner for the imported workbooks ?
( I will use the option Only take ownership if original owner not found )
I am not sure, but I think I have seen the following syntax in other projects when exporting an apps mode EUL
SYSADMIN.Workbook name 1
SYSADMIN.Workbook name 2

>

Hi,
The best that i know is that you should export using the DB user so that you will not have problem with workbooks or BA that you are not granted for (or any other grants or privileges).
The import should be done using the APPS user (the super user you use).
That way if you import a workbook that the owner will not be found then you will get the ownership and you can after migration deal with it.
If you'll do that with the DB (EUL owner) user after migration you will not have access to those workbooks.
Any way about the workbooks i suggest you'll save them as DIS files for cases that the import of the workbooks or the owner association for them fail.

Export/import song ratings across different playlists

Is it possibe to export & import ratings from one pc to another, where the song lists are not identical. The target pc has all the songs contained on the source cd but also additional ones.

Is it possibe to export & import ratings from one pc
to another, where the song lists are not identical.
The target pc has all the songs contained on the
source cd but also additional ones.
Possible, yes. Easy, no.
I created this script a while back to do just this sort of thing: http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/02/03/itunes-saveratings-script/
It's pretty easy to use. Run it, hit the Save Ratings button. The ratings are copied from iTunes into a file called "ratings.xml". Copy the program and that xml file to the new machine, run the program again, and click the Restore Ratings button. All those ratings get copied into the new machine if it can find those songs on there. The song titles and artist names of the songs that have the ratings you want to transfer must be identical between the two machines for it to work though.
It also copies playcount and last played time, while it's at it.

Export Import with different tablespaces

Does anyone know if there is a way to export from one database (creating a dmp file) and then importing into another database with different tablespaces? I have tried this and get this error:
ORA 959. It complained that the tablespace doesnt exist (which it doesnt). Is there a way I can change the export or import parameters to avoid this and just use the default tablespaces?
I may well be missing the point here so please feel free to tell me I am being a fool.
Thanks
Johan

Example. All these tables are from the same schema with the same tablespace specified in the dmp file. There are many more and 90 % fail but not all.

Export/import with objects in another schema

In 9.2
I created two users: `live` and `world`
`live`> create type nam as object (txt varchar2) not final;
`system`> grant under any type to world;
`world`> create type nam_world under live.nam (txt2 varchar2);
and
create table nams of nam_world;
and new row
insert into nams values ('qwerty', 'ytrewq');
I build dump file:
exp system/manager FILE=live_world.dmp OWNER=live,world
All this successfully!!!
At another server (also 9.2) this export session terminated with errors:
imp SYSTEM/manager FILE=live_world.dmp FROMUSER=live,world TOUSER=live,world
Not help parameter IGNORE=Y
Not help parameter TOID_NOVALIDATE=(live.nam)
In any case: "Skipping table "WORLD"."NAMS" because object type "LIVE"."NAM" cannot be created or has different identifier"
General effect, what import simply not visible type live.nam
How import tables with objects in another users schema?
Please, help me.

Hi Vishwanath,
You can export the objects as TPZ's
go to Tools---> Export configuration objects, to export them, and import configuration objects to reimport them.

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

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

Export/Import with where condition

DearAll,
I am facing a problem in the delete of a huge table that take 3 hours
DELETE FROM HST HST
WHERE JV_TYPE <> 999
and ( HST.VALUE_DATE <= TO_DATE ('31/12/2010','DD/MM/YYYY')
AND HST.TRANS_DATE <= TO_DATE ('31/12/2010','DD/MM/YYYY'))
what i am trying to do is to export the HST table and import it into another table
but what i need to do is to have a dump with where condition including only the needed records in the table not deleted in the DML above as well as the indexes, triggers.
Thanks

If I try the following:
CONN / AS SYSDBA
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY dpump_dir1 AS '/folder/';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY dpump_dir1 TO bokprod;
expdp bokprod/bokprod@uat TABLES=HST PARFILE=hst_query.par
In the parfile:
QUERY=hst:"WHERE JV_TYPE <>999 and ( HST.VALUE_DATE > TO_DATE ('31/12/2010','DD/MM/YYYY') AND HST.TRANS_DATE > TO_DATE ('31/12/2010','DD/MM/YYYY'))"
DUMPFILE=exp.dmp
DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1
LOGFILE=exp.log
impdp bokprod/bokprod@uat DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=exp.dmp
TABLES=bokprod.hst REMAP_TABLE=bokprod.hst:hst_imported
My question is:
1- the parameter file, if i put it in the dpump_dir1 directory, is it read by the expdp command?
2- the hst_imported table created by the remap_table command , is it created with the indexes and triggers already existant on hst table?
Appreciate yoyr help Dears

Export / import with logical system

Re: AC 5.3 - RAR - SP17
I have DEV and QA connected to GRC DEV\QA and am defining my ruleset here. The ruleset is defined against a logical system.
I have PRD connected to GRC PRD and want to import the ruleset that I have developed in GRC DEV\QA. I have exported the ruleset using utilies \ export and then try to import using the utilies \ import function I get an error message and cannot import the rules into the GRC PRD system. When exporting I have selected the ruleset to export against the logical system. When importing I am selecting the physical system. Will that work ? What am I missing ?
Edited by: Jan Chan on Jul 8, 2011 5:02 PM

I determined that there was some corrupt data in the ruleset connected to the logical system that I was exporting. Attempted to correct it by removing the entries and regenerating the rules under the logical system area. All attempts to correct the data have not worked - even removing the "Action" completely from the ruleset but the data still contains the corrupt data associated with the logical system. May need to use "manage deletion" to completely remove it but my entire ruleset is defined for this logical system.
I don't think there's a simple way to just change the "system" on each functions "action" - mass function maintenance does not appear to work for this.

Export/import OiD users on different platform

Hi,
I am trying to migrate 9.0.2 from NT to UNIX environment and as a first step I need to move all the users from OiD on NT machine to OiD on Sun Solaris. Does anyone know of any good documentation for this? Or has anyone done this sucessfully before?
Thanks in advence for yor help.

We have moved users in Oracle 9iAs Release 2 from a Linux machine to a Linux machine (different versions of Linux). This was done by first creating a LDIF file and then using bulkload. While this seemed to be a total pain at first once it was done it proved quite easy.
