Suggestions needed for Export/Import Business Area Problem

I'm trying to export/import a Business Area from one instance to another and I get the following error during import processes.
Database Error - ORA-00001: unique constraint (EUL4_US.EUL4_EXP_PK) violated
The Business Area I'm trying to import doesn't exists in new instance. During the import wizard I've checked refresh existing object and match by identifiers.
I think my target instance has objects with same identifiers, so I went ahead and changed the identifiers in my source, but still problem persists. How can I correct this error?
Thanks

Did you happen to copy the EUL from one database to another before you were importing/exporting the BA?
Discoverer recognizes EULs using unique reference numbers. However, if you use the database export and import utilities to copy an EUL, the new EUL (including its reference number) will be identical to the original EUL. When EULs have the same reference number, EUL consistency issues can arise if you do both of the following:
* If you modify objects in both the original EUL and in the new EUL
* Having modified objects in both EULs, if you then attempt to copy objects between the two EULs using the Discoverer Export Wizard and Import Wizard (or the Discoverer /export and /import commands)
To avoid potential EUL consistency issues, run the eul5_id.sql script as the owner of the new EUL. The eul5_id.sql script gives a new refererence number to the new EUL and thereby avoids any potential EUL consistency issues.

Some similar EUL inconsistencies are documented in:

You might want to check that if the EUL version timestamps are the same.

Suggestion needed in export/import ODI topology from one machine to other

Hi,
I am trying to export all ODI topologies from one machine(A) to other machine(B).Can I export/import whole topology.While doing the same whether created repositories and existing topolgy in machine (B) would be replaced.I don't want to get the existing things in machine(B) to be replaced.Can anyone suggest on this?

you can always select the Import Mode as 'INSERT' if you don't want anything to be overwritten. Yes, you can export/import the topology, logical topology, execution environment by using the options in the Topology tab(top right corner dropdown).

Importing business areas

When exporting and importing business areas (from test to prod e.g.) i sometimes get the following problem.
For some workbooks I would like to use joins between folders in different business areas without "sharing" the folders between the business areas. This works fine when setting it up directly, but I have problems when exporting and importing. From previous advice I understood that I need to export and import both business areas and that the order in which I do so makes a difference. I tried this and found that it sometimes works and sometimes does not. So far I have not been able to determine why. Any help ? I use Disc Admin 4.1

It may be a similar issue to the Oracle BIS views. If you bring in the business areas by the import / export utility, it will order the input alphabetically, not an order that makes sense.
For example, if you had 2 business areas, and 1 was called: A and the second B (original names huh), if business area A had a folder joined to B, then at the time it comes in, B is not defined and I believe the join may go by the wayside.
I definitely know this is an issue with BIS and the most reliable way to not have this occur is to using a Unix emulator that Oracle recommends to bring the business areas in, in the correct order so that the joins are correct.
In your case, I'd check to see if this could be the problem and if so, could you alter the names of the business areas so that if imported back in the alphabetically order would work?
Just a thought.

Import business area issue

Hi Discoverer friends,
I recently created a buisness area with a workbook in development eul and imported into the production eul. I first exported the business area and workbook separatly from Dev/Test using discoverer admin.I then Imported the BA and workbook into Production in admin using the default settings except that - Refresh the object( the sub-box Preserve display related properties was not checked) I also refresh the BA. The imported workbook worked fine, but a workbook for another BA ( say BA1) failed to work. I looked into the issue and discovered that there were multiple BAs in the same EUL where the new BA (say BA3) was imported into. The folders in BA3 were 80% the same as what in BA2. However, the problem was in BA1 as some of the worksheets failed. I looked into the SQL for the failed worksheet and to my surprise, the query in BA1 joined with some of the tables in BA3. Please note: BA1 had no such folder and even no joint to these tables in BA3.
It is either a bug or something I missed or did wrong with my import of the BA3 as after I deleted both BA1/BA3, imported BA1 only and it turned out OK for BA1.
So What I should do to import the BA3?
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
my Discoverer admin edition is 9.0.4. Database 9.2.4. Application server 9.0.4.2 and Discoverer Plus used is 9.0.4.45.02.
Thank you very much,
Jeff

Hi
It sounds as though you may have deleted the folders from the business area but not from the EUL. If this is the case, and the folders still exist inside Production, then when you import from Test into Production, the folders will be there attached to the business area.
If you really don't want the folders you should completely delete them from the Test EUL, or are you saying that you did this? If you're absolutely certain that you deleted them from Test, then exported the Test business area and imported it into Production, matching by identifier, then it sounds like there is an issue. You may need to manually delete folders in both areas.
You see, if a folder exists in production and not in the import from Test, how does Discoverer know that you did not intentionally not export that folder? I don't think it can detect that something is no longer there. Its a bit like saying give me the ID numbers of all the rows in the database that got deleted today so that I can go and delete them from the data warehouse. You cannot because they don't exist. I think your best plan would be to delete them from both areas, either that or delete the business area from production and reimport it from Test.
Does this help and what do the other Discoverer experts think about what I have said?

Michael

CAN NOT IMPORT BUSINESS AREA AS IT SAYS - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED

We have recently migrated from Disco 4.1.48.08 to 10.1.2
Everything looks ok - we are able to look at existing workbooks and business areas. And we can export business areas successfully.
However
When we try to import some business areas it returns - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED and fails. This is now causing a problem with how we promote from our test/uat and prod environments.
any ideas ?

Here's some information from Support that helped me...
Discoverer has many options on exporting and importing objects. Entire End User Layers, Entire Business Areas or only selected objects could be exported. To simplify the process of exporting and importing Business Areas, it is suggested that the export and import process should be done with entire Business Areas. The reason why it is not recommended that selected objects are exported and imported as a norm is to simplify maintenance.
It is still possible to export and import selected objects, but a knowledgeable Administrator is recommended to head the procedure. The process could get
very complex and difficult to manage.
Some Additional Notes:
- Join conditions are exported, but are not indicated as an object. Join conditions are only exported ** if ** the joining folders are exported.
- If the ‘refresh’ option is performed in Discoverer Administrator on an object and the underlying object on the database is not available, the object is dropped from the EUL. It is of utmost importance that the objects exist on the underlying database before the ‘refresh’ option is executed.
- Functions and Workbooks are not exported when exporting an entire Business Area. Functions and Workbooks have to be exported separately.
The first bullet is what was giving me this error "JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED". I was unable to do a full export - another unrelated error, so I came up with an alternate solution. I created a new BA that only contained the standard folders that my two custom BA's referenced - by JOINS and inclusion in my complex folders. I exported all 3 and they imported into the new instance with no issue.

Importing business area and then using workbook file

I need to use a workbook that was created by another user and saved as an external file.
They exported their business area and sent it to me with the workbook.
When I tried to open the workbook after sucessfully importing the business area I could not find the imported business area and the components that go with it and their was no way to browse to find them.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Thanks.

If you want to use an external workbook that was saved to the desktop. You choose open and then click the icon with the label computer underneath.
If the components in your business area are not the same as the ones where the workbook was created you will be given the option to substitute values to match what is in the workbook with what is in the business area.
When you choose this option however, it displays only the first three business areas you have access to. There is an up and down arrow but no scroll bar implying that these are all the options. However usual windows practice did not apply and the ommitted scroll bar did not mean that all the list was displayed, clicking the down arrow would uncover more business areas.
When I finished sustituting the variables I still got a join error. It was taking too much time so I got username and password of the account where the workbook was created.

Importing business area

i am facing the problem in importing the specific business area,system gets hang while importing
anyone have solution then plz refresh .
thanx in anticipation

Meenakshi,
Check the EUL Owner has got Select Priviledge on the Importing Business Area, Check you have enough Memory for the RollBack Segment, Try generating SQLTrace and analyze for the exact error.

Regarding Distribution Monitor for export/import

Hi,
We are planning to migrate the 1.2TB of database from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB7.7 . We are currently testing the database migration on test system for 1.2TB of data. First we tried with just simple export/import i.e. without distribution monitor we were able to export the database in 16hrs but import was running for more than 88hrs so we aborted the import process. And later we found that we can use distribution monitor and distribute the export/import load on multiple systems so that import will get complete within resonable time. We used 2 application server for export /import but export completed within 14hrs but here again import was running more than 80hrs so we aborted the import process. We also done table splitting for big tables but no luck. And 8 parallel process was running on each servers i.e. one CI and 2 App servers. We followed the document DistributionMonitorUserGuide from SAP. I observerd that on central system CPU and Memory was utilizing above 94%. But on 2 application server which we added on that servers the CPU and Memory utilization was very low i.e. 10%. Please find the system configuration as below,
Central Instance - 8CPU (550Mhz) 32GB RAM
App Server1 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
App Server2 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
And also when i used top unix command on APP servers i was able to see only one R3load process to be in run state and all other 7 R3load process was in sleep state. But on central instance all 8 R3load process was in run state. I think as on APP servers all the 8 R3load process was not running add a time that could be the reason for very slow import.
Please can someone let me know how to improve the import time. And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
Thanks,
Narendra

R3load connects directly to the database and loads the data. The quesiton is here: how is your database configured (in sense of caches and memory)?

There are no such documents available since the process of migration to another database is called "heterogeneous system copy". This process requires a certified migration consultant ot be on-site to do/assist the migraiton. Those consultants are trained specially for certain databases and know tips and tricks how to improve the migration time.

For MaxDB there's a special service available, see

Business area problem

Sir in tcode VA01 i am getting following error :-
No business area can be determined for item 000010
Messagae no. V1599
Diagnosis
The system could not determine a business area for item 000010. The item has plant AMBA and is assigned to company code ARP for which a business area is required. This is caused by incomplete settings in Customizing.
System response
The system does not allow you to create the item.
Procedure
Before creating the item, make sure that you have completely maintained business area assignments in Customizing.
In which tcode i will have to do customization?
I wait on line.

Hi,
This because the determination rule is not maintained.
If you maintain the determination rule then system will pick up the business based on plant /division
or otherwise based on sales area.
If your triggering the business area based on plant and division then u need to give the rule 1.
T.code:IMG
Enterprise structure>Assignment>Sales and Distribution>Business Area Account Assignment>Define Rules by Sales Area.
1--> based on plant and division
2--> based on Sales Area
3-->Based on Sales Org/distribution channel and division.

Script request for exporting, importing, inserting entry to Oracle 9i LDAP

Do anyone has the scripts for exporting, importing, inserting entry to Oracle 9i LDAP server? Thanks for help.

you can use ldapsearch utility to generate ldif files. Perform a search on the node you want to export and specify the output to be in LDIF format ( -L - this is a ldapsearch option). Once you have the ldif file, you can import it to any LDAPv3 complaint server such as OID. for OID, use ldapadd/ldapmodify utility to import the data.
These utilities are present under IAS_HOME/bin or ORACLE_HOME/bin.

Low Hit Ratio for Export/Import Buffer

Hi,
Do low hit ratio (less than 70%) for Export/Import buffer causes performance issue?
I didnt get any Note related to this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Thanks everyone,
Basicaly all the buffers(Program/Nametab/CUA/Screen/Genric Key/Single record) has hit ratio around 99% , but for export/import buffer its 60%. which is indeed less.
This is what i intended to ask, if this low hit ratio for export/import buffer has much impact ?
Any note if anyone remembers?
Thanks,
Saurabh

Problems using Role for Security to business area

I have a role set up with several users in it. User A and user B are both in this business area. When I grant access to a business area using this role, they are unable to see the business area in the user edition. If I specify User A to the business area they can see the business area. This does not seem to happen all of the time. Any solutions for this ?
Has anyone else come across it ?
Thanks
Dennis

You could try this- Tools -> Priviliges -> (Show Privilege for the ROLE not the USER), then see if "Desktop & Plus Privilege" is checked
I was just creating/removing EUL's in my test instance and the same thing happened to me.

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

Error while importing business area

Hi everyone,
I'm working with Oracle Applications standard EUL, based on the BIS views
I have exported "Order Management" business area. When I try to import it in my EUL with the following command line, my command gets aborted:
$ eulapi -connect apps_user/apps_user@sid -eul EUL_US -apps_user -apps_responsibility "System Administrator" -import import_file.eex -import_rename_mode refresh -identifier
But when I import it using Oracle Discoverer Administrator, there's no problem.
I tried with another business area (Accounts Receivable), and it also works using java command line.
I don't understand why my import doesn't work. I don't have any info about the possible error, even using -log option.
It's a quite strange problem. I hope someone has an idea.
Thanks.
Daniel.

Thanks for your quick response, Michael!
I have another question on import. I imported a folder and it got imported with a warning (A folder named 'Folder Name' was created or modified during the import but is not in a business area
Import completed, but with warnings. Please check the result.
I can see the folder in the database table. Is there a way to add this folder to the business area? Or my only option is to delete the folder out of EUL?
Thanks once again!

Choose a database among various databases for export/import using.

Hello,
I am using forms 6i and I want to export several databases using
forms.
With regards to that what is the technique/code I could use to select
the database of my choice for export.
How could we get the name/services of a particular database among
various databases using Forms 6i.
Could some one give me the idea/code to get the above requirement?
Thanks
Amit

Why would you want to use Forms (a client tool) to import or export a database? Imp and exp are command line tools meant to be run on the database server.
You will probably be hitting other problems, like different database versions. For every database version you need the correct imp and exp.
If you really want to use Forms, than just make a table that hold the names of the databases.
