Question on export/import

"Oracle also ships some previous catexpX.sql scripts that can be executed as user SYS enabling older imp/exp versions to work (for backwards compatibility). For example, one can run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catexp7.sql on an Oracle 8 database to allow the Oracle 7.3 exp/imp utilities to run against an Oracle 8 database."
Is that means, data can be exported from oracle 8 and can be imported into oracle 7. using
Oracle 7.x exp/imp utilities ?
thanks
siva

yes
also plz check doc.
for compitability of Import export utilities on different version.

4 questions on export/importing graphics for Web and Photoshop.

Hi, I have 4 questions here, and if you can answer one or more, I'd be happy!! :-)
1. In general, can there be a loss of quality when I export a file from Illustrator CS3 to Photoshop CS3, and then re-import it into Illustrator?
My guess is that you can switch applications with one single file, but you have to know what you're doing (any advise? I'm working with files that contain both text with either illustrated graphics or photos).
2. When I switch applications like that, which one is the final application I should save my final work from (for use in print and web)? Does this matter at all? (Example: I have text created in Illustrator. I export it into Photoshop and add a filter, and maybe a blured-layer of the the whole graphic.)
3. After completing the steps in the example above, and I do re-import it all back into Illustrator, the image appears with horizontal path-like blue lines, that let me slice the photo/text if I wanted to. Why does it do this and how do I get rid of those blue lines?
4. When exporting a file for web, what options are you setting for .gif and .jpg in order to NOT see its white background/frame around graphic?

1. Yes. The artwork will be rasterized to a fixed resolution in Photoshop. When re-imported it may appear the same, but it will have limited resolution on output, whereas Illustrator vector art has no (or infinite) resolution.
2. Depends on the artwork and what the client or printer has requested. If you can keep the text editable in Illustrator (blur and some Photoshop filters are available) then you'll have a more versatile and resolution independent file than you would if you switched to Photoshop. In the end, if the resolution of you art is adequate, it's up to you which is better for you to work with, based on your skills and experience. Keep all working files so you can make changes to artwork imported from one program into another.
Some features you might enjoy: You can place Illustrator files into Photoshop and make them Smart Objects. They remember they are Illustrator files and can be edited in Illustrator at any time. Rotate, scale, or distort the artwork in Photoshop and it is re-rendered a the PSD file's native resolution. In CS3 you can add filters to Smart Objects while keeping the vector data intact.
3. I have read about this, but as I'm not fully up on CS3 and don't have it installed on my main system I can't help.
4. To not see a white background for JPEG use a different matte colour. JPEGs cannot be transparent, so some colour must show where you want transparency. for GIF, the same applies, but you can turn on transparency. The artwork will be transparent, but the matte colour will determine how the anti-aliased edges are rendered. Use a matte colour that's as close to your expected background as possible or choose None. PNG 24 supports 8-bit transparency, which looks best of all, but is not supported by MS Internet Explorer versions 6 or lower.

Question Pool export / Import problems

Hi All!
There has been very short time between the Captivate releases
but I'm very happy about all the new features. Still I feel like
Captivate 3 is more like a beta release because of several annoying
problems. Perhaps it's just me?
I'm starting a blank project and importing a preferences file
for my projects. This pref. file have, among other prefs, buttons
and review text changed. When importing my questions from another
pool/file these settings are ignored. Can anyone explain why? I'm
also experiencing "apply to all" feature in the "properties" window
only randomly making my changes to include all slides and not just
the one I make the changes on. What I'm I missing? I've set the
"settings" right and like I said it works sometimes as expected.
Please help anyone :)
Thanks

Good day, Heffalompen
While I won't be able to provide any of the technical reasons
why things work as they do (or don't
) I would think that for the question pool imports,
it would work like this.
Our story begins with a small journey into the fascinating
world of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). If you know anything about
them, it may help this analogy. If not, I should still be able to
help shed some light. CSS is used in conjunction with HTML pages to
influence formatting. For example, using CSS you may state that all
normal text on a page will be presented to the user in Arial font
at 12 points and bright red color. If you link that file to HTML
pages, you may literally influence thousands upon thousands of
pages with one simple CSS file. So think of your preferences file
as the CSS file I just described.
Within each HTML page, you have the ability to render certain
select bits of text as you wish. Again, using the principles of
CSS, you may elect to apply what is called an "in-line" style to
the text. Maybe you want this specific text to be bold, Tahoma font
16 points and bright purple color. And so it is.
But here's the deal. Later, you decide to change the
foundation CSS file. Perhaps changing the font to green text. You
make the change to the CSS and whoosh. That change cascades through
all your linked HTML files. EXCEPT, those bits of text where you
applied the In-Line formatting. Those are left alone, because you
explicitly applied a style that stated these are different and here
are their rules. So think about those imported questions as having
in-line styling applied.
As for the "Apply to all" setting, I think that this one may
not work 100% as one would hope it would. For me, it's occasionally
been a "hit and miss" affair. Not always, but sometimes.
Cheers... Rick

BW 3.5 EXPORT\IMPORT

Hi Gurus,
I have a little questions about export\import BW 3.5...
I have exporting SAP_ALL system BW production to BW developer and after export and import if I start RSA1 to check data insert, I have the message: "you can only work on the client 400" (400 is the client in BW production, the client exported).
I remember that in R3 after the import I started SCC7, then report in SE38 : RGUGBR00, and then BDLS to change logical system name....
in BW SCC7 and BDLS ok, but report RGUGBR00 there isn't and I think this is the problem...
you know or inform me about the solution?!?! is there a correct way ?!?! there is another report that i started?!
thanks for all...
regards
lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,
The BW must be operated in one single client only and this client must NOT be either 000 or
066 but you can work in any other client.
The following notes indicate what you should check and change to solve this problem. Even
when they are released for older versions of BW the steps are still valid:
116811    Working with BW in client 000 not possible
122679    You may only work in client XXX. Brain 009
116520 Installation / copying client 000 in the BW System
Please make sure in particular that the following has been done ( as per the note 116520):
Enter the chosen Production client in the instance profile or
DEFAULT.PFL as logon client. Maintain the parameter
login/system_client for this Once production has been initiated, the Client may not be altered
any further.
Best Regards,

How to export/import UDQ

Hi Experts,
I want to distribute the user defined query.
Here is the steps:
1. Export the specific one
2. Import the specific one
Here is my question
1. How can I get the query list?
I cannot find method to do it, which like getBPlist.
If I can get it, I will do a loop to export all.
2. How can I get the query catelogues list?
3. Which is better to improt?
UserQueries object via DI, or sql statement of OUQR ?
Thanks
Best regards
Huan

Hi Huan,
Please refer to my reply on your other question about exporting/importing formatted searches here:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3580368
You can use the V9 Implementation Center to transfer User Queries from one company to another. It is also possible to use Copy Express in earlier versions of SBO.
If you want to use the DI API then you can use the UserQueries object.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Export-Import and Naming convention question

All,
Newbie here. Have a question related to the naming convention for SAP R/3 system and XI manual export/import process. We are currently in the development environment where our R/3 systems are named as D55CLNT400, D56CLNT300 etc (first 3 characters are the system id, and last 3 are the client number.) This is per the XI best practices convention.
The question i have is - if we name the technical system as above - and export the configuration objects from the Dev to Test environment - where the R/3 systems are named as T55CLNT400, T56CLNT300 (similar naming structure). Does it mean that we need to manually change almost all of the items in the Test environment on the configuration side (like business sytem name, interface determination, receiver determination etc)
Is this the correct way or are we missing something??? I would have preferred a way - where we needed to only update the communication channel parameters.
Thanks.

In the SLD, create three Business System Groups: DEV, QAS and PRD.
In each of these groups, you must have the relevant application servers (in your case, R/3s) and one integration server (XI).
Then, for each Business System in Group DEV, define a transport target in QAS group.
In your case, the transport landscape should be like this:
D55CLNT400 -> T55CLNT400
D56CLNT300 -> T56CLNT300
XI_DEV -> XI_QAS
Do the same for the QAS group (defining transport targets in PRD group). Observe that you need to have the same number of Business Systems in each group for this to work properly.
Now, when you transport your configuration objects from XI_DEV to XI_QAS, all the Business Systems in DEV landscape will be replaced for the equivalent ones in QAS landscape.

Fast EXPORT/IMPORT Question

I have a 200+ GB Oracle 9i DB on UNIX, many tables have primary keys/indexes/constraints. Assuming nobody accessing/using the DB, what is the best procedure to speed up export/import? Both of these will happen on the same machine/OS and RDBMS version. No RMAN please. Thanks.

include the following -
direct=y
recordlength=65535
export file on seperate disks to the datafiles.
import -
recordlength=65535
buffer=64M (or higher)
export file on a seperate disk to the datafiles
Not many people use recordlength, definately a quicker way to export/import.

Multiple servers in parallel export/import question

Hello all,
We plan to use parallel export/import using distribution monitor, and want to use several servers in export and also in import.
The export_monitor.cmd.properties has FTP option ftphost, whic is the hostname of the import server, which looks like it will only use 1 application server (AS) from the source system and 1 in the AS in the target system -
- is this true or can we use more AS in both export and import?
- in the export, how to specify the AS to use?
- in the export, how to specify more than 1 AS?
- in the imprt, how to specify more than 1 AS ?
Thanks,
Terry

You can use the Distribution Monitor for that purpose. Check note 855772 - Distribution Monitor

Best choice for exporting / importing EUL

Hi all
I have been tasked with migrating an EUL from a R11 to a R12 environment. The Discoverer version on both environments is 10.1.2 and the OS is Solaris on oracle db's.
I am unfortunately not experienced with Discoverer and there seems to be no one available to assist for various reasons. So I have been reading the manual and forum posts and viewing metalink articles.
I tried exporting the entire eul via the wizard and then importing it to the new environment but i was not successfull and experienced the system hanging for many hours with a white screen and the log file just ended.
I assumed this was a memory problem or slow network issues causing this delay. Someone suggested I export import the EUL in pieces and this seemed to be effective but I got missing item warnings when trying to open reports. This piece meal approach also worried me regarding consistency.
So I decided to try do the full import on the server to try negate the first problem I experienced. Due to the clients security policies I am not able to open the source eul and send it to our dev. I was able to get it from their dev 11 system but I dismissed this as the dev reports were not working and the only reliable eul is the Prod one. I managed to get a prod eex file from a client resource but the upload to my server was extremely slow.
I asked the dba to assit with the third option of exporting a db dump of the eul_us and importing this into my r12 dev environment. I managed this but had to export the db file using sys which alleviated a priviledge problem when logging in, I have reports that run and my user can see the reports but there are reports that were not shared to sysadmin in the source enviroment are now prefixed with the version 11 user_id in my desktop and the user cannot see her reports only the sysadmin ones.
I refreshed the BA's using a shell script I made up which uses the java cmd with parameters.
After some re reading I tried selecting all the options in the validate menu and refreshing in the discover admin tool.
If I validate and refresh the BA using the admin tool I get the hanging screen and a lot of warnings that items are missing( so much for my java cmd refresh!) and now the report will not open and I see the substitute missing item dialogue boxes.
My question to the forum is which would be the best approach to migrate the entire eul from a R11 instance to a R12 instance in these circumstances?
Many thanks
Regards
Nick

Hi Srini
The os and db details are as follows:
Source:
eBus 11.5.2
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Target:
ebus 12.1.2
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production DEV12
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Yes the DBA initially did an exp for me using EUL_US as the owner but a strange thing happened with privileges and also, some of the imported tables appeared in the target environment under the apps schema(21 tables) even though the eul_us exp had been 48 tables.
I also had a problem on the db with "eul_us has insufficient privileges on table space discoverer" type errors.
I checked the eul_us db privileges and was unable to resolve this initial privilege error even though the privileges were granted to eul_us.
The dba managed to exp as system and then import it with the full=y flag in the import command which seems to bring in the privileges.
Then I ran the eul5_id.sql and then made up a list of the business areas and made a sh script to refresh the business areas as follows:
java -jar eulbuilder.jar -connect sysadmin/oracle1@dev -apps_user -apps_responsibility "System Administrator" -refresh_business_area "ABM Activities" -log refresh.log
This runs successfully and I can log in select business area and grant access to the users. The reports return data.
Then one of the users said she can't see all her reports. I noticed some if I opened desktop that were sitting there prefixed with a hash and her version 11 user id.
So back to the manuals and in the disco admin help the instructions are to first go to view > validate > select all options then go to the business area and click file refresh. This gives me a lot of warnings about items that are missing. I assume this is because the item identifiers brought across in the db dump are the version 11 ones and thus not found in the new system.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Nick

Export/Import Process in the UI for Variations Content Translation is Generating CMP Files with No XML

We have a SharePoint 2010 Publishing Website that uses variations to deliver contain to multiple languages. We are using a third-party translation company to translate publishing pages. The pages are
exported using the export/import using the UI process described here: "http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2011/12/02/sharepoint-variations-the-complete-guide-part-16-translation-support.aspx".
Certain sub-sites are extremely content-intensive. They may contain many items in the Pages library as well as lists and other sub-sites.
For some sub-sites (not all), the exported CMP file contains no XML files. There should be a Manifest.XML, Requirements.XML, ExportSettings.XML, etc., but there are none. After renaming the CMP file
to CAB and extracting it, the only files it contains are DAT files.
The only difference I can see between the sub-sites that generate CMP files with no XML files is size. For example, there is one site that is 114 MB that produces a CMP file with no XML files. Small
sites do not have this problem. If size is the problem, then I would think the process would generate an error instead of creating a single CMP file that contains only DAT files. However, I do not know exactly what the Export/Import Process in the UI is doing.
This leads to two questions:
1.
Does anyone know why some CMP files, when renamed to *.CAB and extracted, would not contain the necessary XML files?
2. Second, if exporting using the UI will not work, can I use PowerShell? I have tried the Export-SPWeb, but the Manifest.XML does not contain translatable
content. I have not found any parameters that I can use with Export-SPWeb to cause the exported CMP to be in the same format as the one produced by the Export/Import process in the UI.
As a next step, we could try developing custom code using the Publishing Service, but before doing this, I would like to understand why the Export/Import process in the UI generates a CMP that
contains no XML files.
If no one can answer this question, I would appreciate just some general help on understanding exactly what is happening with the Export/Import Process -- that is, the one that runs when you select
the export or import option in the Site Manager drop down. Understanding what it is actually doing will help us troubleshoot why there are no XML files in certain export CMPs and assist with determining an alternate approach.
Thanks in advance
Kim Ryan, SharePoint Consultant kim.ryan@[no spam]pa-tech.com

I wanted to bump this post to see about getting some more responses to your problem. I'm running into the same problem as well. We're running a SharePoint 2010 site and are looking at adding variations now. The two subsites with the most content take a
while to generate the .cmp file (one to two minutes of the browser loading bar spinning waiting on the file). Both files are generated with a lot of .dat files but no .xml files. I was thinking like you that it must be a size issue. Not sure though. Did you
ever happen to find a solution to this problem?

Transfer Foreign Trade Export Import values in Purchase Order

Hello SRM brothers and sisters,
I have a question regarding the transfer of the Import/Export data (Foreign Trade) in the PO from SRM to ECC in the Classic Extended Scenario.
Basically, in the SRM BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI -> BBP_B46B_PO_OUTBOUND method where we map all the values, I try to fill in the CT_BAPI_POEXPIMPITEM table with the item's Import/Export values.
The way this is done is:
if nothing exists in this CT_BAPI_POEXPIMPITEM table for the PO item, add an empty line and assign the following fields ( PO_ITEM, EXPORT_IMPORT_PROCEDURE, COUNTRYORI and COMM_CODE).
This is then sent to ECC via the RFC BBP_PO_INBOUND function module - and inside I know that it assigns the X-structure of Export/Import Item. It then calls the BAPI_PO_CREATE / BAPI_PO_CHANGE and in the debugger the values seem to be correct.
This all seems to be very nice, however when I take a look at the PO in ME23n, the values of the Import/Export data are not there! In table EIPO there is also nothing... As for error messages, nothing comes up either.
So, has this happened to anyone? Am I doing something wrong? Is there an extra step I should do (ie, fill another structure/table/field)?
Cheers,
Adi

Hi Kishor,
Thanks for your reply.I need to some more inputs if you can...
As you mention :-You need to enter the special UOM according to the specifications in the index of goods or foreign trade statistics: can you give a example to get more clarification.and how Qtys. are converted to this unit for the export declaration.
You mentionwd : (FOr each item, you have to enter the amount of the unit of measure determined
in the index of goods. Eg: number of units) -can u explain with example. what is index of Goods.
Thanks in adavance.
Thank you.

Quick question about exporting to Flash

Is there a way to get the same quality when you export a cpv
project to Flash, as when you preview it in Captivate?
Are changes in mouse paths, sounds, and picture quality after
transferring normal? Or are they supposed to look exactly the same
as they do in Captivate?
I'd just like to rule out one or the other.

Hi ksonta
One would expect to see that everything survived the
export/import process in full clarity. In a perfect world, that is.
Unfortunately, Captivate doesn't yet "talk" to Flash as
cleanly as we would like. You might question this by asking "Aren't
they both Adobe products? Why not?"
And I would fundamentally agree with you in theory. But the
fact is, Adobe hasn't had either product all that long. Adobe
bought Macromedia. Macromedia had Flash. Macromedia also had
Captivate, but they bought Captivate from another company called
eHelp. Heck, even eHelp bought the product from yet another company
called Nexus Concepts. So Captivate has a long and colorful
history.
Hopefully the next version will bring us seamless and perfect
exporting and importing from Flash.
Currently I'm aware of an issue with Background images being
"shrunken". Maybe the export/import process has too much hot water?
Cheers... Rick

Backing up using Export/Import & ITL, XML file formats

Using Windows XP I have reset my default Itunes folder to c:\Itunes (too big for MY Documents\...). then copied everything from c:\itunes to an external hard drive. (I didn't realize the ITL file doesn't move and therefore I may not have a good backup of it.
Starting with a new computer, installed Itunes, then did a 'File, Add folder to library (with copy option)' from the external hard drive. This restored all my songs but I lost playlists, play count & my ratings.
I then did an import from library.xml, this restored the playlists, but still no play count or ratings.
My question is
1) IS there a better way to backup from Hard Drive to Hard drive? (Maybe all I really needed was the ITL file also?)
2) what is the format of the ITL file (I am a systems programmer, would appreciate a URL that has detail), what (hopefully free) utility would edit it?
3) a high level view of the XML file (I know XML)
4) Where is there complete documentation on Itunes ( a detailed description of export/import would be appreciated)

Here's my old standard answer for this topic - hope you can find something useful from it ...
iTunes Music Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml must stay where you found them.
To move your music files, use iTunes to do the work. Don't manually drag them around yourself.
• change the library location in iTunes Advanced Preferences tab, the new location does not need to exist; iTunes will create it. The new location should be empty of music files. This just sets the location for any new files brought into iTunes; it does not affect any existing files in the iTunes library.
• Select iTunes Advanced menu, Consolidate Library command. This copies all iTunes music files to the new library location. Playlist & Ratings data is preserved!
• After it completes (assuming no errors), quit iTunes and get rid of the original files from your previous location. The xml & itl files must remain in the old location, the library location setting does not control the location of these two critical files.

Migrate Database- Export/Import

Hi,
I need to migrate an Oracle database 9i from Sun Solaris to Linux. The final target database version would be 11g.
Since this is a 9i database, I see that we have only option of export and database. We have around 15 schemas.
I have some queries related to it.
1. If I perform a export with full=y rows=y, Does it export Sys, System Schema objects also?
2. Can we perform export in Oracle 9i and use datapump import on targert 11g?
3. What is the ebst approach - a) to perform schema by schema export or b) to perform a full database export with exp / file=xxx.dmp log=xxxx.log full=y?
Since there is a database version different I dont want to touch sys, system schema objects.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Regards
Cherrish Vaidiyan

Hi,
Let me try to answer some of these questions you queried for:
1. If I perform a export with full=y rows=y, Does it export Sys, System Schema objects also?Export won't export sys objects. For example, there are tables in sys, like obj$ that contain information for other metadata objects, like scott.emp, etc. This is not exported becuase when scott.emp is exported, the data from obj$ is essentially exported that way. When the dumpfile is imported and scott.emp is recreated, the data in sys.obj$ will be restored through the create table statement. As far as the SYSTEM schema is concerned, some objects are exported and some are not. There are tables in system that contain information about queues, jobs, etc. These will probably not make any sense on the target system so those types of tables are excluded from the export job. Other objects make sense to export/import so those are done. This is all figured out in the internals of export/import. Thre are other schemas that are not exproted. Some that I can think of are DMSYS, ORDSYS, etc. This would be for the same reason as SYS.
2. Can we perform export in Oracle 9i and use datapump import on targert 11g?No, the dumpfiles are formatted differently. If you use exp, then you must use imp. If you use expdp, then you must use impdp. You can do exp on 9i and imp on 11g with the dumfile that was created on 9i.
3. What is the ebst approach - a) to perform schema by schema export or b) to perform a full database export with exp / file=xxx.dmp log=xxxx.log full=y?This is case by case decision. It depends on what you want. If you want the complete database moved, then I would personally think that a full=y is what you would want to do. If you just did schema exports, then you would never export the tablespaces. This would mean that you would have to create the tablespaces on the source system before you ran imp. There are other objects that are not exported when a schema level export is performed that are exproted when a full is performed. This information can be seen in the utilities guide. Look to see what is exported when in user/schema mode vs full/database mode.
Since there is a database version different I dont want to touch sys, system schema objects.This is all done for you with the internal workings of exp/imp.
