SAP database import export

Hi Gurus
My R3 database is 1.8 TB and the no. of datafiles are around 188, all are of 10GB each , how i can minimise the no.of datafiles and reorg the entire database., will it help in reducing the current database size.

I would like to know the maximum no.of datafiles in one tablespace
The answer is in SAP Note 606395 - FAQ: Oracle Limitations
Database files
maximum per tablespace : on most operating systems 1022
maximum per database : 65533 total, further limited by the
db_files init<SID>.ora parameter
And please don't ask now: What is the exact limit for my operating system? (You didn't tell us, by the way.)
Try Google or SDN search instead!
hope this helps

SAP HANA: IMPORT/EXPORT Views

We can Import/export tables using hdbsql CLI.
But Is there any way by which we can export/import Views(attribute,analytic,calculation) using hdbsql CLI.
I raised above question some days back
SAP HANA: IMPORT/EXPORT Views | SCN
Also while checking on internet I found another link for the same issue:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/2141404
And from experts answers, I came to conclusion that Import/Export Views(Attribute/Analytic/Calculation views)in SAP HANA is not possible through hdbsql CLI/ SQL commands.Now Is there a way where I can confirm this from SAP HANA program management guys?

Lars,
Thanks for the explanation.
What I am trying to achieve is to create an automate script which should export all tables and views for a schema and again import tables and views in a different schema.
table part is done, But stuck in view part.
I tried the below command and was able to export the calculation view which I created in Content and exists as
_SYS_BIC-->Package(same name as schema where all the tables are stored) --> View Name.
Command used was:
EXPORT "<Schema_Name>"."<Package_Name>/<View_Name>" INTO '<path>'
Now I have 2 ques :
1) I am not sure how to import this exported view. I tried below command but it failed:
IMPORT "<Schema_Name>"."<Package_Name>/<View_Name>" FROM '<path>'
2) Not sure how to export and import all the views.
I did IMPORT SCAN of the path as well and found below entries for the exported view in the mentioned path:
SCHEMA_NAME, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE, EXISTS
"_SYS_BIC", "<Packagename>/CalculationViewName>", "VIEW", 1
"_SYS_BIC", "<Packagename>/AnalyticViewName>", "VIEW", 1
"_SYS_BIC", "<Packagename>/CalculationViewName>/olap", "VIEW", 1
"_SYS_BIC", "vwTile1ALLData", "VIEW", 1
Any Inputs would definitely help. Thanks.

Importing Masters through SAP B1 Import Export Utility

Hi guys,
I am using Import and export utility to import BPs and Items. If anyone has used it please tell me if there any issues / future implications regarding it or it is just ok.
Thanks and regards
Pardeep

hi pradeep,
Only limited amount of columns(limited no. of data) can be
imported through the import from excel.
Date from excel should be mapped exactly with
as with columns and fields in Import from excel for both BP/Items.
Excise and other tax information in BP can't be uploaded
through import from excel,this can be possible in DTW.
Excisable,Material Type,Chapter ID and assesable value
can't be uploaded through import from excel,this is also not
possible in SAP B1.
You need to set warehouses manually if
"Auto add all warehouse to New Warehouses" is not ticked,this
is possible in DTW using template oWarehouses.
Considering above limitations you can better opt for DTW
to import datas to SAP B1.

Updating FND table owner password after database import/export?

We created a reporting instance from our production environment, and moved the EUL to a new schema through a database export/import process - not the Discoverer Administrator export/import process. The password associated with the owner of the FND tables is embedded within the EUL in production. When this was moved to a new schema in our reporting instance, this password "came with" the EUL. However, the password for the FND table owner is different in the reporting instance than it is in production. Is there any way to update this after the fact for the owner of the EUL?
Here's what happened: EUL_OWNER1 is the owner of the Applications mode EUL in production. The copy was taken of production to create the reporting instance. At that time, EUL_OWNER2 was created in the reporting instance, and the tables and data owned by EUL_OWNER1 was exported and imported into EUL_OWNER2. The reason that we did this was to lock down security and keep people from running reports against production, hindering the performance of the overall system. The APPS password (which owns the FND tables), which was required when creating the EUL_OWNER1 EUL in production, is different in the reporting instance. When you log into Discoverer Administrator as EUL_OWNER2 and try to validate folders, you get "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" errors for all of your tables. Basically, that user cannot view those tables because it does not have the appropriate APPS password.
Can this be updated somehow? Or do I have to re-create the EUL for EUL_OWNER2 by using the Discoverer export/import functions? Thanks.
Meredith

Hi,
I don't think the FND password is embedded in the EUL tables. What you will have lost by moving the EUL through a database export/import is all the grants that gave the EUL owner access to the FND tables and other Apps objects. These can be reapplied at the database level. However, the EUL owner does not actually need access to the tables that are mapped into the EUL as you can refresh these when you connect as an Applications user.
Hope that helps,

Some objects in sys schema not imported usinf full database import/export.

Hello All,
We need to migrate database from one server to new server using same database version 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0). We have some production objects in sys schema. We took full export using full=y and then import on new server using full=y. Other objects belonging to different tablespaces and users has successfully imported but production objects i.e table in sys schema not import.
We used following commands for export and import:
# exp system file=/u01/backup/orcl_full_exp.dmp log=/u01/backup/orcl_full_exp.log full=y statistics=none
# imp system file=/u01/backup/orcl_full_exp.dmp log=/u01/backup/orcl_full_imp.log full=y ignore=y
Kind Regards,
Sharjeel

Hi,
First of all it is not good practice to keep user object in the sys schema
second you are useing version 11gr2 what not you go for datapump export/import method.
third, did you get any error in import, what is the error

SAP MDM Import Manager connect to Oracle Database.

Hi expert,
I try to connect to Oracle DB with SAP MDM Import Manager but I cant.
I entered property in "Connect to Sorce" window.
============================================

Remote system : MDM
DBMS server : <DBMS host>:<listener port>
Database : Oracle_SID
User : Oracle database user
Password : Oracle database user password
============================================
then error ocurred.
"Unable to connect to source"
I aleady checked to connect to the Oracle database with Oracle client.
It is connected well.
How can I connect ??
thanks and regards
jun

Hi all,
thank you for your replies.
I tried to connect oracle DB except "< and >" symbol but It did not work.
I installed windowXP 32bit , Oracle client 32bit and SAP MDM Import manager 32bit in My local PC.
Also I connect to MDM DB using sqlplus in My local PC.
I wonder that TNSNAME.ORA is used DB connection using SAP MDM Import manager ??
I think TNSNAME.ORA is not used when I connect to DB using SAP MDM Import manager because I enter parameters are properties of TNSNAME.ORA.
I don`t know why don`t connect to DB.

How to Import/Export database tables from one server to other in oracle8i

Hello friend,
Please can any one tell me how to import/export groups of database tables from one server with oracle to another using VB.net. It would be nice if some one can provide some code of it.
I am a software developer and I am in middle of a large project development, in which I need to export a large oracle database from one server to another efficiently.
Its very urgent so please someone help me.

At command prompt (source db)
set ORACLE_SID=db_name
exp system/password@db_name full=y buffer=104857600 file=(c:\file1.dmp, c:\file2.dmp....) log=c:\exp.log filesize=2000M
Then ftp the export dump files (in binary) to the other server or copy to target server over the network.
At command prompt (target db)
set ORACLE_SID=db_name
imp system/password@db_name full=y ignore=y buffer=104857600 file=(c:\file1.dmp, c:\file2.dmp....) log=c:\imp.log filesize=2000M
If the path names of the datafiles are going to be different in the target server (as compared to the source), then precreate the tablespaces before import. Set buffer value accordingly.

Foreign Trade Import/Export Tab in Material Master of SAP R/3

Hi
What is the use of Foreign Trade Import/Export Tab in material master of SAP R/3

Hi Akhil ..
Sounds like you need to enrol for the SAP Foreign Trade training course!
The tab holds various attributes for determining Foreign Trade data - for example the Customs classification and Country of Origin. Those data are used to determine and/or populate fields in the Foreign Trade data when processing MM and SD documents.
Some, but not all, of the fields in that tab become redundant if GTS is in use.
If you have more specific questions in this area, it might be easier to give better explanations.

SQL Server Import Export Wizard fails while trying to retrieve the data from FastObjects Database

When trying to import data from FastObjects database to SQL Server 2008 R2 using import/ export wizard we get the following error message :
"Column information for the source and the destination data could not be retrieved, or the data types of source columns were not mapped correctly to those available on the destination provider."
Clicked on View button, the source data is retrieved correctly.
Clicked on Edit Mapping button, the Import Export Wizard failed with the below error message:

Hi Chennie,
Thank you for the post.
Does the issue persists after you use the "Write a query to specify the data to transfer" option instead of “Copy data from one or more tables or views” option? If so, the issue may occur due to incorrect data type matching between the FastObjects database
data types and SSIS data types. In this condition, I don’t think it is necessary to upgrade the SQL Server version. Since you can open the Column Mappings dialog box, please try to modify the data type mapping manually.
In addition, the issue seems to be the same as the issue described in the following blog:

Are there performancebenefits to reorganizing database-using export/import?

I have a production database using Oracle 9.2.0.5, which has been running for last 3 years since it was upgraded from 8.1.7. At that time we had done full export of 8.1.7 database and then created 9.2. instance and then imported all the application schemas.
Load on our database has been increasing and there are constant pressures from management to improve performance. We have looked at indexes many times, have lots of memory for SGA and have tuned various init.ora parameters. Being a third party packages, we cannot rewrite queries.
Application is a mix of OLTP and reporting, it is definitely more read than write.
Are there any benefits to reorganize database using export/import, i.e., we will do a full export of existing database and then delete all objects from application schemas and do schema imports. We will run the dbms_Stats again to recomputed statistics. Of course, we will test all of that in a test environment before making change sin production.
I have heard different views on reorganization. Some people say it is useless, some people say it can improve performance since data will be placed homely in fewer blocks.
Appreciate your feedback.

Hi,
Oracle gave us reorg utilities (dbms_redefinition) because Oracle does not do real-time reorganization for performamnce reasons.
In some applications, reorgs are critical to high-performance, while in others, it may make no difference.
Remember, a reorg simply puts the indexes and tables into their "optimal" pristine state.
The most striking benefit of table reorgs is when a "sparse" table experiences lots of full scans. After the reorg, response time can be cut in half.
Also, in cases where related rows are queried together, a reorg with row-resequencing (like 10g sorted hash clusters) make a bif difference:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_table_row_resequencing.htm
But like I said, it depends on many factors . . .
Hope this helps . . .

Homgeneouos system copy - Import/Export

Hello everybody,
I have successfully upgrade system( ECC 5.0) m from windows 2003 (32)+ SQL 2000 to windows 2003 (64-bit) + SQL 2005. using attach /detach method, in post processing execute STM tool, update stats etc.
But we found performance is not much of improve previous system with only 4 GB RAM, new one with 32 GB RAM.
I have remove the parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE parameter from the profile so it is under ZERO MEMORY MGT.
This above said in testing environment till.
For testing, I planning for the same using export/import
Plan :
Source system
1. Now, Export the database by executing sapinst.exe and then
select ABAP system-->MS SQL server -->Unicode -->ABAP Database content export
and continue with the Export procedure.
On the Target system
1. Create a directory EXPORT and copied all the exported data.
2. Start the SAP installation(only start database instance installation), enter the required parameters up to the
window selecting the database instance installation method, on this
I will choose System copy/migration(R3load based)
3. provide the path of the Export directory.
4. Specify the order in which the package are loaded - I select alphabetical order
5. No other option will select on this screen.
So for testing, I simply database export from source system and on target system I execute only Database instance installation, all process successfully done.
We have not any BW client so I am generate the DDL statement
Pleas suggest above plan is correct or anything missing?
will improve performance of system?
Thanks
Ganesh

HI!
As per suggested for DDL statement generation, we have no any productive BW client,
i tried on our Qaulity system by logging on regular using client, message display DDL statement
generated successfully,. but when I check in usr\sap\tmp folder there no file
1. Unicode migration option selection is necessary?
    in installation directory path is only /tmp so I checked in ( usr\sap\tmp) directory.
2.
Above procedure is correct, but during target system installation please continue with SAPinst to install SAP instance as well.
As above statement, I started installation on Target system by SAPinst then from option
mySAP EPR 2004 SR1
     System copy
          Target system
             ABAP system
                MS SQL Server
                    Unicode
                          Central instance installation
                          Database instance installation
                          MSCS Node A Configuration
                          MSCS Node B Configuration
                          Dialog instance installation
                          internet graphic server upgrad
I select Database instance installation Database instance installation option. No any other process I have done.
3. is same procedure for system copy in clustering environment ( because our Production system in windows 2003 (64 -bit) clustering environment.
4. After installation complet, in post processing need to use STM tool, update static etc.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Ganesh

Import/Export in Background submission

Hi experts.,
I am passing two internal tables to another program using Submit statement via Job. Then i am importing those two tables in another program. However i think the tables are not populated. What could be the reason for this. Also how can you debug the background job submission?
Thanks.
Warm regards,
Harshad.

Hi
For tables , in your import export statement , just see have you used [ ] , if not the please use this.
If does not work then as well , then see to use EXPORT TO datbase as follows
EXPORT obj1 ... objn TO DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.
Refer this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/8e73a36df74873e10000009b38f9b8/content.htm
b> after executing your program (first get the job name in debugging mode) , go to sp01 , check tyhe checkbox against your job name , just write JDBG (transaction code area) and press enter , it will take you in debudding your job. First it will execute some sap standard program , just get it done and then it will jump top your code.
Hope it is helpful.

Database Import Error in Oracle 8i

Hi Friends,
I am using oracle 8i with Windows 2000 Pro SP4. I have a database dump file and i need to import the same using oracle 8i. I am getting the following errors.
imp system/manager file=sap30.dmp buffer=60000
the database was exported by SAP not by you.
imp unsuccessfully terminated
Finaly the error message says that export was done using 8.01.07 but iam using oracle 8i (8.1.5). Pl help me to import the database.
Thanks in advance
Mahendiran.A

dump file created in 11g database can't be imported in lower 8i version.
Restrictions When Using Different Releases of Export and Import
The following restrictions apply when you are using different releases of Export and Import:
Export dump files can be read only by the Import utility because they are stored in a special binary format.
Any export dump file can be imported into a later release of the Oracle database.
The Import utility cannot read export dump files created by the Export utility of a later maintenance release. For example, a release 9.2 export dump file cannot be imported by a release 9.0.1 Import utility.
Whenever a lower version of the Export utility runs with a later release of the Oracle database, categories of database objects that did not exist in the earlier release are excluded from the export.
Export files generated by Oracle9i Export, either direct path or conventional path, are incompatible with earlier releases of Import and can be imported only with Oracle9i Import. When backward compatibility is an issue, use the earlier release or version of the Export utility against the Oracle9i database.
Thanks
