Spatial and MV - migrating from one server to another question

Question

If we want to migrate from one MV server + database to another one - is it possible to automatically export/import map cache definitions (MDSYS.SDO_CACHED_MAPS_TABLE)? and MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_METADATA_TABLE ? - this metadata table imports only references to tables using imp/exp.exe tools but not references to views
thanks,
Branislav

Answer 1

You are correct that the migration tool will copy security where manually won't as for fariables, that should not be a problem either way.
The unicode file utility is supposed to convert lots of things including outlines and load rules. It can be used to convert locale. Below are the options and an example of changing the locale
Options:
-a List all the supported locales
-b Create a backup file (.bak) for each modified file
-c Convert each specified text file without a UTF-8 signature to UTF-8, stripping off any
existing locale indicator and adding a UTF-8 signature
-d Delete any locale indicator from each specified text, rule, or outline file
(Does not delete UTF-8 signatures)
-e Display the encoding of each specifed text, rule or outline file
-h Display this text
-i Add a locale indicator to any specified non-Unicode text, rules, or outline file
-l Use the specified locale for any conversion or labeling (ESSLANG is the default)
-q Operate quietly
-s Add a UTF-8 signature to any specifed text file that does not have a UTF-8 signature or a locale indicator
The -c, -d, -i, and -s options may not be used in combination. The remaining
options may be used in combination with these options or in combination with
each other.
First delete the existing locale
essutf8 -d myfile1.txt myfile2.rul
          Delete any locale indicator from myfile1.tst      and myfile2.rul. Does not delete UTF-8      signatures.
then add the new one
essutf8 -i myrule.rul
          Add the ESSLANG locale indicator to      myrule.rul if myrule.rul      does not have a      locale indicator or a UTF-8 signature.
