Problem in export/import work repo !!!

Hi All,
Good Morning.
I have a problem with exporting and importing repositories. The description of the problem is given below,
I have a remote machine in that sunopsis is installed and all the developments,implementations,testing are happening there.
Now i need to stimulate the same environment in my local desktop(ODI is installed and master,work repo is created).
When i export the work repo from my remote machine and trying to import it in my local machine (from designer level import->work repo) after a while its saying "snp_lschema does not exists" error.
Any one have idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Guru

Hi Julien,
Thanks for your input. It really helpful for me.
I need some more clarifications,
Actually i exported my master and work repo from my remote machine (as a zip file) and saved it in my local drive (say D:/downloads/deploy.zip...)
So when i tried to import master repo from topology ( browsing the zip file and said OK) its not doing anything, i mean nothing happens after i said OK.
Should i have to copy this master repo zip in the Sunopsis installation folder (in IMPEXP directory) and then import it? Am i doing right?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Guru

Problem with EXPORT IMPORT PROCESS in ApEx 3.1

Hi all:
I'm having a problem with the EXPORT IMPORT PROCESS in ApEx 3.1
When I export an application, and try to import it again. I get this error message
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 16, column 28: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;牃慥整㈰㈯⼴〲㐰〠㨷㐵㈺′䵐&quot; when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null &lt;an identifier&gt; &lt;a double-quoted delimited-identifier&gt; &lt;a bind variable&gt; avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp in
As a workaround, I check the exported file and found this
wwv_flow_api.create_flow
p_documentation_banner=> 'ç‰ƒæ…¥æ•´â ¤ãˆ°ãˆ¯â¼´ã€²ã °ã€ ã¨·ã µãˆºâ€²äµ
And when I replace with this
p_documentation_banner=> ' ',
I can import the application without the error.
somebody knows why I have to do this??
Thank you all.
Nicolas.

Hi,
This issue seems to have been around for a while:
Re: Error importing file
I've had similar issues and made manual changes to the file to get it to install correctly. In my case, I got:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.<br>ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress<br>begin execute immediate 'alter session set nls_numeric_characters='''||wwv_flow_api.g_nls_numeric_chars||'''';end;There are several suggestions, if you follow that thread, about character sets or reviewing some of the line breaks within pl/sql code within your processes etc. Not sure what would work for you.

Problem with export / import

Hi everybody, I am having a problem with an import. I am doing an export with a value in an user exit:
EXPORT V_NLQNR = V_NLQNR TO MEMORY ID 'QUANTL'
And after I call import in another program:
IMPORT V_NLQNR = V_NLQNR FROM MEMORY ID 'QUANTL'.
But when I check the sy-subrc I am getting 4, so I don't get anything.
Does anybody why?? Is there a problem if I call the export from an user exit??
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I think you have the right idea.
As a suggestion I would name my variables to make it clear which data is being
exported/imported. I would also use different names on the left and right side of the = sign.
Here is a working example from programs that I use:
In the first program
   EXPORT intercodata FROM g_data_exp TO MEMORY ID 'INTERCOWOS'.
     where g_data_exp is declared as a global variable
In the second program
   IMPORT intercodata TO g_data_imp FROM MEMORY ID 'INTERCOWOS'.
     where g_data_imp is declared as a global variable
The syntax that you use ( p1 = dobj1 ) should work as well, just make sure that the variable v_nlqnr to the right of the equal sign has a value before the export.

Problems in export / import repository

Hi there,
I'm trying to export/import a repository.
The first trouble is: I export the topology, but when I import it nothing is imported (no error messages).
I resorted to manually reconfiguring the topology
The second and worse trouble is: I exported the project and the models, then I imported the project (successfully)
but when I tried and import the models I got some error messages related to missing data (referential integrity)
Any help is warmly appreciated
Regards
Andrew Florit

I've got the same problem "I export the topology, but when I import it nothing is imported (no error messages)."
What could be the solution?
Thanx

Problem with export/import in back ground

Hi Experts,
I am having a requirement in which i am exporting an internal table to memory from one program and importing that in another program. in foreground it is working fine. But in background it is not working. Is there any work around.
Here is sample code.
Program1:
types:
begin of tab_type,
    para type string,
    dobj type string,
end of tab_type.
data:
id    type c length 10 value 'TEXTS',
text1 type string value `IKE`,
text2 type string value `TINA`,
line type tab_type,
itab type standard table of tab_type,
    itab1 type standard table of tab_type.
line-para = 'P1'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT1'.
append line to itab.
line-para = 'P2'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT2'.
append line to itab.
free memory id 'TD'.
export itab to memory id 'TD'.
Program2:
types:
begin of tab_type,
    para type string,
    dobj type string,
end of tab_type.
data:
id    type c length 10 value 'TEXTS',
text1 type string value `IKE`,
text2 type string value `TINA`,
line type tab_type,
itab type standard table of tab_type,
    itab1 type standard table of tab_type.
refresh itab.
import itab from memory id 'TD'.
free memory id 'TD'.
clear line.
loop at itab into line.
write: / line-para, line-dobj.
clear line.
endloop.
Thanks,
Jyothi

Problem with Export/Import in background

Hi Experts,
I am having a requirement in which i am exporting an flag to memory from one program and importing that in another program. in foreground it is working fine. But in background it is not working. Is there any work around.
Report 1:
DATA:l_flag type c value 'X'.
free memory id 'ZFLAG'.
EXPORT L_FLAG TO MEMORY ID 'ZFLAG'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
Report 2:
DATA:L_FLAG TYPE C.
import l_FLAG from memory id 'ZFLAG'.
free memory id 'ZFLAG'.
IF l_FLAG = 'X'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.

Hi,
You can export the flag to database ..it is not required to be a internal tabel. You can refer to this link..
It is explained with example
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/8e73a36df74873e10000009b38f9b8/content.htm
Here obj1 can be single variable..
EXPORT obj1 ... objn TO DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key
This will work in Background not the Export to MEMORY statement.

Problems with export/import

Hi People,
I'm fairly new to the world of Oracle, I wonder if you could help me.
* Imported a dump file into Oracle 8.1.7 R3
( Came from Oracle 8.1.7 running on HP/UX, importing onto another HP/UX
system. Dump file is from one user and contains approx 7GB of data )
Once imported this leaves me with approx 10% of my disk left ( its a 9GB
partition ).
* Ran a purge script against the user's tables that removes transactional
data over 60 days old. This should get rid of 50-60% of the data.
* I then exported the table data out to a dmp file
( Compressing Extents )
* removed original user
* removed rollback segments
* removed tablespace
* recreated tablespace
* recreated rollback segment
* created user
* ran imp with the newly created dmp file
The problem i've got, is that once I import the newly created dump file,
it fills the disk up completely and the import never finishes.
Please forgive me, as i'm sure i'm doing something fundamentally wrong.
Can someone explain what i'm doing wrong and how to rectify it ?.
regards
/Lars

It seems the import is failing because the export to memory fails also.
Can you explain?
Did you check the extended debugger facilities like memory areas?
What is the structure/amount of data for ex- and import, same name, same data object?
Just reveal what you are really doing, post a few code lines.
Or not.

Clemens

"Generally speaking the value of the NLS_LANG registry key or environment variable needs to be equal to the characterset of the database."
Yes...that's why i have set the NLS_LANG env.variable to GREEK_GREECE.EL8MSWIN1253 ..equal to:
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters;

NLS_RDBMS_VERSION              10.2.0.1.0"nls_language doesn't come into play, nor nls_instance_parameters."
Yes...it's true.
"So, in the dump you posted, no one can tell whether those characters were INSERTed correctly at all. Your NLS_LANG *registry key* may have been set to an incorrect value (it defaults to American_America.MSWIN1252)."
Actually , i have used a third-party tool PL/SQL Developer (which does have the OracleDB10g as default home).
Looking at the Windows registry of OracleDB10g the NLS_LANG is equal to GREEK_GREECE.EL8MSWIN1253.
"Thirdly, as I implied above the NLS_LANG on import should have been American_America.UTF8."
According to the Note 227332.1 , if the db characterset of the two dbs are not the same.. then it is preferable the conversion should be done on the import process and not the export....
So, in an example described there -export from a AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 db and import on UTF8 db - (seems exactly the same as mine) the import is done as such:
c:\>set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
       c:\>imp ....
The conversion to UTF8 is done while inserting the data
       in the UTF8 database.Additional notes....
I have used many different patterns doing the import......
1) Use of AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
2) Use of GREEK_GREECE.EL8ISO8859P7
3) Use the appropriate NLS_LANG that corresponds to the display of chcp command....
All tries display some '?' chars.....
Anyway... I 'll continue reading ... and testing
Thanks... a lot for your points

Can't get export/import working for Apex

Hello,
We continue to struggle with exporting and importing. This is currently our release process from development area into production. Any better ideas?
The errors have continued to be random but what I currently get is:
Error ERR-1029 Unable to store session info. session=470508247781401 item=40006855470898
ORA-02091: transaction rolled back ORA-02291: integrity constraint (APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_STEP_PROCESS_FK) violated - parent key not foundWe have an idea that the export is getting corrupted because when we alter a couple of pages and try to export again we sometimes get an ok message that can be imported. Anyone experience this? So frustrating.

Thanks for taking a look at this situations. Since we develop on a development database and run a parallel copy in a production database where we only "deploy" by importing an exported copy from development. Not sure if this is how other people deploy from development into production, in fact I would be keen to know how other people handle this, but at the time I set it up a couple of years ago this was what suggested at that time.
We simply take an export of the entire application where I leave all the defaults that normally come up on the export page. If needed I'll go into the details. But it is very strange that no one else had issues when they exported that the export itself was corrupt? And subsequent exports either get corrupted in other places or "fix themselves." Does this have anything to do with the fact that my application is getting largish (over 125 pages) ?
Thanks for your help

Export/Import problem please help

Hi All,
I have a strange problem in Export/Import.. I don't know ,where to fix..
I'm trying to Export/Import dmp file in new Schema.
when i'm exporting the tables, it is writing with storage options(Which causing me the problem, I don't have a enough space in the tablespace and i can't increase any more)
I don't want the table data, i want only table structure without storage option.
So,i'm looking export syntax without storage options to the table(like inital extents,increment,max extents like that)
I'm writing like this
exp system/manager@connectstring file=exp.dmp log=exp.log owner=sys rows=N statistics=none indexes=n compress=N
Any idea ?
Thanks
James.

Why are you exporting at all? You say you want to place this info into another schema (on the same instance? or an instance on the same network?) Just run this script:
alter tablespace mytablespace
default storage (initial 256K next 256K);
set heading off pages 0 echo off termout off
spool a.sql
select 'create table newschema.'||table_name||' tablespace mytablespace as select * from '||table_name||' where 1=2;'
from all_tables
where owner='OLDSCHEMA';
spool off
@a.sql
If the new schema is on a different instance or server, you will have to create a db link first.

Steps to be followed in Export/Import

Can anyone help me out defining the exact steps to be followed in exporting and importing the ODI objects?
I have exported the master and work repository. I created a new master repository by importing the zip file. I can see the architecture neatly imported into the topology. The problem starts when I try to import the work repository. It keeps throwing the integrity constraint error. I export/import folder-wise as the current work repository is pretty huge!!
It will be of great help if some one could explain the steps to be followed while export/import in ODI

Hi there,
It is typical of ODI to throw those errors, as the documentation is not quite comprehensive about how to do it.
Here are a few guidelines:
(i) Topology (master repository) should be exported n imported first. Then the models and finally the projects and the variables. Also, work repository export may not work if you try to export whole work repo at one go using File---->Export---->Work Repository !
So the best thing is File--->Export---->Multiple Export----> then drag all ur objects into the box and check the "zip" checkbox
Create separate zips for Models and separate for Projects and so on
And import Model zip before Project zip in your new repository
OR
(ii) Use database schema export and import. This has worked the best for us.
And I think it is the most flawless way of doing export import because you dont lose any objects and dont get any integrity constraint errors etc
Just export the master repository & work repository schemas and then import them in you new database

Export/import oracle9

Hi,
since I do not have a good knowledge of oracle, hopefully somebody may help me to understand better how export/import work (oracle 9)
A colleague as run an export from a production server, now he needs to run the import on a test server but it fails.
Could someone be so kind to let me know what I have to take into consideration before running both commands ?
I explain better:
I have noticed that the DB_BLOCK_SIZE is indeed different on the two servers (production server has a DB_BLOCK_SIZE=4096)(test server has a DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192)
so the first thing I have seen in the import log file is an error message saying that "tablespace block size 4096 does not match configured block sizes"
So my first question would be: is there any chance to run export/import on two servers with different DB_BLOCK_SIZE ?
Then (due to my ignorance of the subject):
- is there any problem is the SID is different on the two servers ? or it is not important ?
- is it important that the PATH of "*dbf" files is different on the two servers or this fact is not taken into consideration at all (since only 'logical' data are taken into consideration) ?
- do the tablespaces currently used on the production server have to exist in the test server in order to have a successful import ?
Hopefully somebody has few minutes to answer my question.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
Are you talking about FULL export/import method, right? Well, Oracle 9i supports multiple block sizes in the same database. So, it gives you an option of using multiple block sizes, which is especially useful when you are transporting tablespaces from another database with a different block size. In this case, will be necessary to set the initialization parameter called DB_nK_CACHE_SIZE in the initialization parameter file. For example, in your case, if your standard block size is 8KB, you will need to pre-create a tablespace with a block size, say 4KB that are currently using on your product server and then you will must set the DB_4K_CACHE_SIZE parameter in your test server. The DB_nK_CACHE_SIZE The parameter is dynamic so you can alter its value using the ALTER SYSTEM statement.
>>- is there any problem is the SID is different on the two servers ? or it is not important ?
No problem ...
>>- is it important that the PATH of "*dbf" files is different on the two servers or this fact is not taken into consideration at all (since only 'logical' data are taken into consideration) ?
In fact, It is important that the tablespace exists in the target database and doesn't matter where they datafiles are located. In this case, logical data are taken into consideration.
>>do the tablespaces currently used on the production server have to exist in the test server in order to have a successful import ?
Yes. For a full import method, this is very important. So, you will need to pre-create the tablespaces in your target tablespaces, but in this case they need to be created with 4k of block size, as I said before. Anyways, you will need to make some tests.
Otherwise, if you want to make a test, create a database on you test server using 8k default block size and use the export user method instead.
Eg.:
If you have the user A, B and C using the TBS_1 in your prod database, so, create the tablespace TBS1 using the default block size (8k) in your test database and make this test below:
PROD DATABASE
exp a/pass file=a grants=n
exp b/pass file=b grants=n
exp c/pass file=c grants=n
TEST DATABASE
create the users A,B and C and perform these tasks below:
imp a/pass file=a full=y
imp b/pass file=b full=y
imp c/pass file=c full=y
In addition, give a feedback ....

Issues with Export/Import using Database & Shared buffer

Hi All,
I have a method that calls a program via a job and I am having issues passing data between the two.
Note that two different users process the method and program (via job) resp. This is how I am calling the second prog-
SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
             VIA JOB     l_jobname
                 NUMBER l_jobcount
                 USER    i_user
             AND RETURN.
I need to pass data from method to the second program and vice versa and then the method continues its processing with the data acquired from the second program.
I have tried using Import/Export using database and also shared buffer. What I have found is that most of the times I am able to pass data from method to program. However the job takes a couple of min to execute and I think that the data is not making back to the method in time.
I have looked at some useful forum links-
Problem with export/import in back ground
Re: EXPORT/IMPORT to MEMORY
but havent been able to find an answer yet. Any solution? Thanks in advance for your help!
Liz

Hi Suhas, Subhankar
I have tested the scenario without the job previously itself and it works. Thats the reason, i am trying with the job now as my requirement is that I need to change the user while executing the second report.
Here is an example of my import/export - I am passing the return value from the second report to the first.
Code in second report-
DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD VALUE 'RET1'.
INDX-AEDAT = SY-DATUM.
INDX-USERA = SY-UNAME.
EXPORT RETURN1 TO SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY.
Code in first report -
SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
                 VIA JOB     l_jobname
                     NUMBER l_jobcount
                     USER    i_user
                 AND RETURN.
Once Job close FM is executed successfully, I import the values as follows
IMPORT RETURN1 TO RETURN1 FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY3.
INDXKEY is having value RET1.
However Return1 is not having any values in first report. It has some value in executed without the job
Please note that I have tried Export/import with Database too and I am getting the same results.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Regards, Liz

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.
