Sequence nextval after an schema level export import

If I export a schema that has some sequences and then truncate tables and then import the schema, do I get theh old sequence values?
I guess my question is do sequences get stored at the schema level or the database level.
I noticed that sequences are exported at the schema level when I do an export so that may be the answer but your confirmation would be appreciated.

Hi,
Nothing to worry,imp/exp does not change the value of Nextval.you can use truncate table after exp, then u can import it.

Hi,
I have exported Java 6.40 and finished the refresh successfully. And I imported the Java successfully. After importing Java, I restarted SAP but is not coming up. When I checked the dev_w0 trace file, I got the following information.

Steps to Perform before schema level import

Hi,
We are planning to migrate Oracle 8i database to Oracle 10g Database.
Approach that we have decided is export/Import.
Can anyone tell me what all steps we have to perform before importing dmp to new database?
We are planning to go for schema level export/import.
Thanks in Advance
AT

1. Get a list of users to be exported
select distinct owner from dba_segments where owner NOT LIKE '%SYS%'
2. exp parfile=gen8i.prf
vi gen8i.prf
system/sys
owern=( <list generated above>)
rest of the exp paramters such as statistics, consistent
3. imp the dump file
4. recompile the packages
5. done.

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.

Reduce export import time

Hl All,
I want to reduce the total time spent during export-import.
Restrictions:
=========
1)Cross Platform
2)exp and imp from lower version to upper version
3)No 10G database
Basically i want to do exp and imp in parallel so it reduces the total time spent on this activity. I thought of doing schema level exp-imp in parallel but i am afraid of the dependencies.
Is there any other way to achieve the same or if i go with the above specified approach, can anyone provide some valuable inputs to that.
I am trying to automate the above so that it becomes one time effort and rest all the times it(script) should do at his own.
Thanks and regards
Neeraj

Hi All,
Data volume is not less than 60GB and not more than 150GB.
If i use a pipe on unix in between exp-imp what if my exp is slower at any
point of time and import is faster(Any reason)?
is import going to wait for the contents coming into the pipe through export or import will fail.
I can consider creating indexes using the flat file.
is there any way to get only the indexes in the flat file, i mean if i use indexfile
option for import it gives me "CREATE TABLE..." statements too which means import utility is reading full
dumpfile and giving me the output, i want only the "CREATE INDEX..." statement in the flat file.
What about the schema level export and import?
Any valuable inputs or proper steps from anyone out there
Any restrictions while importing the schema's.
Thanks and Regards

How do you produce both Customs Export & Import documentation in an STO?

Hello All -
How do you produce both Customs Export & Import documentation in an STO scenario? For instance, if a company would like to create a STO in SAP to move materials from one plant to another and would like to produce both the Export & Import paperwork in GTS, what documents would be needed in R/3 to make this possible?
Would the following be needed, or is there some other way?
- STO
- Outbound Delivery & F8 Invoice to generate the Customs Shipment in GTS for the Export documentation
- Inbound Delivery to generate the Customs Declaration in GTS for the Import documentation

Thanks Sameer -
Yes, for the Import documentation, I think we will be declaring prior to Goods Receipt, so we will first use the Inbound delivery, and then the GR document later on once the materials have been received. (I believe you and I were talking about some of this in another thread actually.) Thank you for confirming this.
As for the Note, I have also seen this - but thought that this was to more or less give visibility to the sending plant up-front at STO of what export licenses might be needed. (According to the note, currently they would only be able to check if licenses were needed at the outbound delivery, and not on the PO)
Per the note: "Given a Stock Transport Purchase Order scenario: Plant A in Germany issues a STO PO against vendor plant US10 in the US. GTS looks at the PO in terms of importing from the US (departure country) coming into Plant A in Germany and performs compliance checks. Meanwhile, exporting plant US10 only has visibility at outbound delivery creation to see if am Export License is needed. Exporting plant US10 may want to know if they need a license to the country of destination, in this case Germany, at STO PO creation."
However with the proper country-level export/import activation of the legal regulations, I believe that you can still have the STO check export-related licenses even though it is mapped to GTS as IMPORD. I have done some testing on this and it appears to work (you just need to ensure that you are activating the relevant countries for export/import properly in the legal regulation, and you can have both export & import documents check the same legal regulation and deliver the correct license determination). I was just wondering if you had any experience with this that was contrary to what I have found, or if there is something you think I am missing..
Thanks

Sequence behavior after importing via DataPump

Hi Friends,
I'm running Oracle DB 11.2.0.3 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Servers and I faced a strange sequences behavior after importing a schema via Data Pump.
The export is done this way:
EXPDP userid/password dumpfile= logfile= directory= remap_dumpfile=y (no news)
The import is done this way
IMPDP userid/password dumpfile= logfile= directory= remap_schema=(old_one:new_one) remap_tablespace=(old_ones:new_ones, so on...)
The import works fine. There are no errors and the sequences are as well imported with no warnings.
The strange behavior is that the sequences seems to "reset". When we call a sequence the NEXTVAL is just lower than the values already stored in the Database, and we get ORA-00001 a lot. The sequence should know that vale. I don't have this problem when using exp/imp, just via DataPump.
So that when we create an order that should receive the value of 100, as an example, because we have 99 orders on the system, Oracle suggest a value lower than 99 or even the number one value (01).
We then wrote a script to check the CURVAL of the sequences on the base schema to recreate the sequences using this initial value on the new imported schema.
Does anyone faced this problem before?
Any suggestions?
Tks a lot

Richard
I've tried what you just said.
Adding the parameter consistent=y makes Oracle to show a message like that at the beginning of the export
"flashback_time=TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-09-03 12:18:12', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')"
It warns me: Legacy Parameter CONSISTENT=TRUE, and replaces with flashback_time.
Really, I did not know about this behavior with this "old" parameter. I'm very appreciated about your help.
I was almost thinking it was a DataPump bug or something.
Thanks a lot Richard. I'll now update my scripts and make lots of test.
If you have more advices using this parameter please share us.
Cheers

Oracle 10g - Data Pump: Export / Import of Sequences ?

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and also to Oracle (Version 10g). Since I could not find an answer to my question, I open this post in hoping to get some help from the experienced users.
My question concerns the Data Pump Utility and what happens to sequences which were defined in the source database:
I have exported a schema with the following command:
"expdp <user>/<pass> DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR DUMPFILE=dumpfile.dmp LOGFILE=logfile.log"
This worked fine and also the import seemed to work fine with the command:
"impdp <user>/<pass> DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR DUMPFILE=dumpfile.dmp"
It loaded the exported objects directly into the schema of the target database.
BUT:
Something has happened to my sequences. :-(
When I want to use them, all sequences start again with value "1". Since I have already included data with higher values in my tables, I get into trouble with the PK of these tables because I used sequences sometimes as primary key.
My question go in direction to:
1. Did I something wrong with Data Pump Utility?
2. How is the correct way to export and import sequences that they keep their actual values?
3. When the behaviour described here is correct, how can I correct the values that start again from the last value that was used in the source database?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help concerning this topic!
Best regards
FireFighter
P.S.
It might be that my english sounds not perfect since it is not my native language. Sorry for that! ;-)
But I hope that someone can understand nevertheless. ;-)

My question go in direction to:
1. Did I something wrong with Data Pump Utility?I do not think so. But may be with the existing schema :-(
2. How is the correct way to export and import
sequences that they keep their actual values?If the Sequences exist in the target before the import, oracle does not drop and recreate it. So you need to ensure that the sequences do not already exist in the target or the existing ones are dropped before the import.
3. When the behaviour described here is correct, how
can I correct the values that start again from the
last value that was used in the source database?You can either refresh with the import after the above correction or drop and manually recreate the sequences to START WITH the NEXT VALUE of the source sequences.
The easier way is to generate a script from the source if you know how to do it

How can we take the incremental export using the datapump at schema level.

Hi,
How can we take the incremental export using the datapump at schema level. Example, today i had taken the full export of one schema.
After 7 days from now , how can i take the export of change data , from the data of my full export.
using the export datapump parameter - FLASHBACK_TIME ,can we mention the date range. Example sysdate - (sysdate -7)
Please advice
thanks
Naveen.

Think of the Data Pump Export/Import tools as taking a "picture" or "snapshot."
When you use these utilities it exports the data as it appears (by default) while it's doing the export operation. There is no way to export a delta in comparison to a previous export.
The FLASHBACK_TIME parameter allows you to get a consistent export as of a particular point in time.
I recommend you go to http://tahiti.oracle.com. Click on your version and go to the Utilities Guide. This is where all the information on Data Pump is located and should answer a lot of your questions.

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.

Can i do client export import between systems with different patch levels

we want to do a client export import between two systems. As I understand the patch levels should be the same in both for this to happen..
But right now I am in a situation where time is a big constrant. The basis patch level is on par. But the rest are not. Can I do client import successfully at this stage.

The only thing that may stop it working could be additional functionality between the systems.
I work on XI and there is a huge difference between SP12 and SP15. We were able to do the transports between systems, but as Dev was patched before QA, and the transport was reliant on standard settings not being available, it still went though, but we had to transport it again after applying SP15 to QA.
Again, it probably depends on what System you have running on Netweaver...

EXPORT at schema level, but exclude some tables within the export

I have been searching, but had no luck in finding the correct syntax for my situation.
I'm simply trying to export at the schema level, but I want to omit certain tables from the export.
exp cltest/cltest01@clprod file=exp_CLPROD092508.dmp log=exp_CLPROD092508.log statistics=none compress=N
Thanks!

Hi,
Think in simple first.. you use the TABLES Clause..
Example.
exp scott/tiger file=empdept.expdat tables=(EMP,DEPT) log=empdept.log
In case if you scehma contains less number of tables.. !!
Logically if you have large number of tables, I say this solutuion might work ...all around... alternative solutions to solve the problems.. If you have hundered of tables... in your schema....
Try to Create a New Schema and using CTAS create a tables which are skippable in the Current Scehma.
Do an Export and once the Job Done.. you recreate the backup fom New schema
and Import to DB (Destinaiton)
- Pavan Kumar N

Import specific schema from exported full database dump...

In my application if I take backup expdp using full=y and during impdp if I want some specific schemas only then it will fine? or It recommended to specify full=y also in impdp.
suggest me..

Hi,
Yes it is fine.
you have three option.
1. full
2. schema level
3. table level
it is up to you how you want to import your database.
