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.
<<<</Snip>>>>

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.

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
Import of Login Server

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

For Portal Export Import (transport), the following are the foremost links on Metalink/ My Oracle Support.
Note 306785.1 Overview of the Portal Export-Import Process
Note 263995.1 - Master Note for OracleAS Portal Export / Import Issues
Note 333867.1 Portal Export and Import Utility Supportability Scenarios
Regarding your question, please do go through all of these notes.
- Overview will tell you how to prepare your instances/environments for portal transport. you will see how to ensure they are ready, and that some patches are needed.
- Master note will tell you which patches are needed, how to get them, what are the diagnostic tools which can help you check and clean your portal repositories, and what common errors you may get and how to fix them.
- Supportability Scenario tells you what actually you can transport and what you cannot. i.e., what is supported and what is not. Do read it for your case.
I have seen several Portal Admins who keep banging their heads with problems they create in their systems because they do not read this note and try to force a case which does not follow a supportable scenario.
hope that helps!

Export/import in 904 versus 10.1.2

We have two 10G AS 904 installs (dev and prod - same O/S too). From time to time we move our production portal content to the dev server. We sometimes get corruption and have to use the Schema validation Utility scripts to fix the import to the dev server. Not a show stopper but this adds another manual step to the process.
I see the 10.1.2 version has improved import/export checks. Can anyone give feedback on the improvements in the export/import process?
Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,
Careful with this approach. Passing from DEV to PROD is ok, but then to DEV back again, what I suggest you is that you have a clean start on DEV, ie, clean the DEV machine and later do the same to the PROD. Portal Export / Import works only in one-way and not both ways (this basically has to do with the checks we do make and with possible conflicts with the objects on both sides). Also check the available documentation... which is all compiled in Metalink Note:263995.1 - Master Note for OracleAS Portal Export / Import Issues
As to the improvement of the process, please give it a check on the New Features papers (make a find on "export" - it is easier to pick the references):-
10.1.2 -- http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/pdf/1012_nf_paper.pdf
10.1.4 -- http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/portal_1014_new_features.pdf
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Export/Import scripts not working

We're trying to move a portal from one server to another server (different hardware). We haven't been able to successfully complete this process--are there any updated scripts out there from Oracle that make this possible?

2 questions
1. Have you tried using the Portal export/import utilities ?
2. Have you installed Portal and Login server in the target database before attempting 1 above ?
3. Have you patched the Portal repository to the same patch level as that of the source database Portal Repository?

Where can I find Export/Import scripts?

Hello,
I have read in Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import document about these scripts:
secexp.csh
contexp.csh
pageexp.csh,
but I can't find them.....can you help me?
In which directory are they?
Thanks in advance.

The upgrade scripts are available at:
http://technet.oracle.com/support/products/iportal/support_index.htm
They say they are for Solaris, but they include the code for NT also. We have used these scripts to upgrade EA to prod on NT with no problems.

Export import mandotary patches

hi,
there is a note on metalink :Oracle Support Master Note for Portal Export/Import.
Doc ID: Note:263995.1
it says that there are mandotary patches required for a successfull export - import.
For example:
10.1.2.0.2 (**)
Patch:5064459 : EXPORT/IMPORT CONSOLIDATED PATCH FOR 10.1.2.0.2 - VERSION 1
Note:
To install the Export/Import patch you need to install the latest version of opatch released with Patch:2617419.
Latest opatch version is 1.0.0.0.55. It was re-released on April 25, 2006.
10.1.2.0.1 (*) (**)
There are no patches available for this release.
10.1.2.0.0 (*) (**)
Patch:4405137 : EXPORT/IMPORT CONSOLIDATED PATCH FOR 10.1.2.0 - VERSION 1
Note:
To install the Export/Import patch you need to install the latest version of opatch released with Patch:2617419.
Latest opatch version is 1.0.0.0.55. It was re-released on April 25, 2006.
i didnt understand that.
my question is do i have to apply these patches to make a successfull export-import between the same version.
assume that i have exactly the same version 10.2.0.0.0 is it mandatory then?

i cant beleive that no one has done a export or import on version 10.1.2.0.0
i am just asking if you have to apply the patch for export between same version (10.1.2.0.0)
please share your experiences about this issue!

Export import NT - Unix

What is the the best way to export from NT to
Unix (hp-ux) the complete Oracle Portal with about 1000 PL/SQL portets.
1) What are the restrictions?
2) Do you know some problems?
3) How long time it will take (1 day, 2 days or more?
null

Before exporting/importing, be CERTAIN that the versions of Oracle Portal are the SAME between your NT and HP/UX Portal installations. For instance, one installation cannot be at 3.0.6.x vs. another at 3.0.7.x.
Also, there is a portal export/import white paper which provides a good overview of this process at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/iportal/pdf/export_import.pdf
This should get you started in the right direction..

Export/import utility for portals: opeasst ; where to launch from?

hi all
does this script opeasst.csh have to be run from infra home or the midtier home? i think for exports of pages and portlets from 904, the CH 10 on export/import requires us to launch export from the mid-tier.
however, if i set up the midtier as my home, and intend to use the opeasst.csh, i do not see this script sitting in the directory where it's been suggested to reside:
ORACLE_HOME\portal\admin\plsql\wwu
instead it is in the ORACLE-infra home:
ORACLE_HOME\portal\admin\plsql\wwu
please help. it is URGENT.
I am using OracleAS 10g Portals 9.0.4 version.

I've been doing some runs and had typical DB export's at about 12 GB per hour (compressed to ~7GB file). Typical DB I/0 bottle neck loosened by using different file system/disk to point export at than where the DB data files reside (CPU ~80% of single CPU)
now the import is a bigger item.
