What's the easiest way to move app data and data structures to a server?

Hi guys,
I've been developing my app locally with Apex 4.2 and Oracle 11g XE on Windows 7. It's getting close to the time to move the app to an Oracle Apex server. I imagine Export/Import is the way to move the app. But what about the app tables and data (those tables/data like "customer" and "account" created specifically for the app)? I've been using a data modeling tool, so I can run a DDL script to create the data structures on the server. What is the easiest way to move the app data to the server? Is there a way to move both structures and data in one process?
Thanks,
Kim

There's probably another way to get here, but, in SQL Developer, on the tree navigation, expand the objects down to your table, right click, then click EXPORT.. there you will see all the options. This is a tedious process and it sucks IMO, but yeah, it works. It sucks mostly because 1) it's one table at a time, 2) if your data model is robust and has constraints, and sequences and triggers, then you'll have to disable them all for the insert, and hope that you can re-enable constraints, etc without a glitch (good luck, unless you have only a handful of tables)
I prefer using the oracle command line EXP to export an entire schema, then on the target server I use IMP to import the schema. That way, it's near exact. This makes life messy if you develop more than one application in a single schema, and I've felt that pain -- however -- it's a whole lot easier to drop tables and other objects than it is to create them! (thus, even if the process of EXP/IMP moved more than you wanted to "move".. just blow away what you don't want on the target after the fact..)
You could use oracle's datapump method too.
Alternatively, what can be done, IF you have access to both servers from your SQL developer instance (or if you can tnsping them both already from the command line, you can use SQL*PLUS), is run a script that will identify your apex apps' objects (usually by prefix to object names, like EBA_PROJ_%, etc) and do all the manual work for you. I've created a script that does exactly this so that I can move data from dev to prod servers over a dblink. It's tricky because of the order that must be executed to disable constraints and then re-enable them, and of course, trickier if you don't consistently prefix ALL of your "application objects"... (tables, views, triggers, sequences, functions, procs, indexes, etc)

  • What is the easiest way to move my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new mac pro?

    What is the easiest way to move my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new mac pro?

    Surprisingly easy! Go into the Finder, then into the Photos Library. In there, there will be a file called your iPhoto Library. It holds all your photos, essentially a special type of folder. Using an external hard drive transfer it to the same location on your new Mac. Now, when you boot iPhoto on the new Mac, it will recognise it and you'll see all your photos instantly!
    There's a really good video on it here...

  • What is the easiest way to replicate(backup) a VM whose host is Windows Server 2008 R2?

    I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Manager and I have a Domain Controller as VM (which is running Server 2012 R2) and I would like to enable replicationfor this VM(I want to back up the Domain Controlloer).
    Could you please tell me the easiest way of doing this?
    Thanks,
    Radu

    Hi, Radu,
    From my perspective, in this case the backup/replication solution should:
    Perform image-level backup, as it’s always preferable to use such method for backing up/replicating virtual machines.
    Guarantee application consistency. That’s being said, not only should it backup VMs running special application in consistent (VSS-aware) mode, but also it should apply
    application-specific settings to prepare each application to perform
    VSS-aware restore on the next VM startup.
    Support 2012 R2 platform.
    We’re using Veeam for the same purposes, as it does have abovementioned functionality. Though, you can stick to whatever solution that can boast with the listed options.
    Kind regards, Leonardo.

  • What is the easiest way to Transfer 32gb music and pics to 64gb micro sd card

    Hello, I am on the low end of technology knowledge. I just bought a 64 gb micro card for my razr maxx. Please share with me the easiest way to trnsfer my data from one card to the other.
    Also FYI, I just came back from a trip to  Italy. Since the JellyBean update my phone has not been able to connect to way to many free wifi spots. I was unable to connect on the cruise ship as well as in at least half the ports visited. Is Verizon or Motorola working on a software fix to help me and many of you with this known issue???
    Thank you

    Thank you Nick. being able to connect to wifi like everyone else would have enhanced my trip. I was able to connect in some spots but few at best. There is nothing that you can do to help me or many others like me. It is up to Motorola and verizon to work on a software fix. I spent hours and hours  trying to get answers and neither company wants to own up to the reality that one of the best phones today is now a mess due to this last Jelly bean update. I have bought a new router for my home and sisters home but  can not buy routers for the may places that my phone will not connect. I wish that you could help me. i only had the phone for three weeks before this happened. I get error messages , poor signal, unable to connect.
    Do you know of any potential fix  being worked on for this known WIFI issue?
    I assume that the info you sent about transferring Pics and video is the same for music?
    Thank you again for your time and support,

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • What is the easiest way to sync Google Cal and Contacts with an iMac?

    iTunes will sync Google Contacts, but not calendar. Weird. Why? What's the best fix?

    There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
    1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
    Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
    Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks.  The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
    If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.

  • What's the easiest way to move or copy an effect from a layer or object to another layer or object?

    If I drag an effect from the target circle of one object to anther in the layer's panel it replaces the effect along with all appearance. But I want just to add the effect. For example, a layer has a drop shadow and a path, round corners. I want to move the drop shadow from the layer  to the path so that the path now has the round corners and the drop shadow. 
    To do this I have to open the shadow effect of the layer wright down its parameters, then create a shadow effect for the path with the same parameters which is a lot of work. Any easier way?

    Thanks Monika,
    May be I'm not understanding you or may be you misunderstood me.
    This is an example:
    Create a document and a path (for example a box) and apply Effects > Stylize > Round Corners
    In the layers panel, click the target circle of the layer and apply Effects > Stylize > Drop Shadow.
    Now I want to move or copy the drop shadow from the layer and add it to the path without removing the Round Corners effects already applied to the path.
    The result for the path should be Drop Shadow effect added to it and the Round Corners effect remains. 
    The result for the layer should be no effect remains for it in case of moving the effect or the Drop Shadow effect remains in case of copying it (holding Alt key while dragging from its target circle).

  • What's the best way to move apps from an old iphone to a new one?

    I just got the iPhone 4S and am having difficulties figuring out how to restore the backup from my old 3Gs.  When I first plugged it in all of my contacts, calendar and email migrated just fine.  (All except for my mobileme email for some reason it defaults all mobileme email adresses as .mac.  Which is silly consider many of us have .me)  Anyway...  I've plugged in the old phone and backed it up.  I've tried to restore the new phone with the old backup, but it doesn't seem to be working.  How do I get all of the apps I have purchased on to the new phone?

  • What's the easiest way to move the location of my CS6 install?

    Hello,
    I recently installed CS6. However, I installed it onto a storage drive without really thinking that through. I'd much rather it be on the primary drive instead.
    Because the download/install/activation/update etc was such a time-consuming headache, I really do not want to uninstall the entire thing and go through all of that again. Plus, given my luck, there would probably be some glitch or problem when uninstalling or activating with the same serial number, etc. It just seems like a pain.
    So I'm wondering how feasible it would be to literally just drag the entire folder over? Obviously the shortcuts would change, but would everything else still work?
    Any advice or insight would be very welcomed.
    Thanks!

    What is your operating system & version?
    If you are on Windows, moving an installed application to another location is not possible; only uninstall/reinstall can achieve that.
    I don't know if it's possible on another OS.

  • What is the easiest way to move all my iPhone photos to an external hard drive?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • What is the easiest way to move every single object in a PDF?

    I have 300 pdf documents containing a total of about 2000 pages of content... and I need to shift every single object in them a half inch to the right.
    Is there an easy or fast way to do this?  Im currently only able to select all objects on a single page, which makes this task... frustrating.

    You should be able to write a script to do the job. George Johnson posted a script for cropping pages based on landscape and portrait orientation recently that should suggest the approach. The commands can be found in the JavaScript manual from Adobe.

  • What is the easiest way to get time stamped wvm data with AI samp Ch Vi?

    The AI sample channel VI only outputs single point waveform data which is making it a beast for me to get my input data into XY graphs. I have been trying to combine the data with a elapsed time clcok so I can synchronize all my inputs but it isnt working too great. All this stuff is in a while loop also, so that gives me trouble. Basically I just want to make an XY graph from both AI inputs.
    Attachments:
    PID_Control_LoopII.vi ‏326 KB

    Tim, no problem. I have attached the modified code that displays the readings from both devices on the same plot. I used a chart instead of an XY graph since it is much easier to use (it keeps track of elapsed time for you if you know the amount of time in between data points - and since the loop time is fixed we do know that). If this time were to change, then we would have to re-create the X-axis (time) and the XY graph would be necessary. One other note - the code that reads the values from the DAQ cards will not execute at exactly the same time, therefore the data will not be acquired at exactly the same time, though it will be close. Therefore, if your application requires these readings to be dead on together in time down to the mi
    crosecond for example, then you would have to synch the two devices via hardware. Let me know if you intend to do that and I can steer you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

    That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
    I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
    Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

  • What is the best way to transfer only Photos and Music from imac to imac?

    hello i have an old 24" imac that is loaded down with iphoto pictures and itunes music. i recently got the new 27" imac and wish to only transfer the photos and music files to the new computer. i have a cloned hard drive of my old imac as well as a time capsule copy of it.
    i don't want to just restore my entire old hard drive onto my new imac because there is a lot of junk on there i don't want on there. so, what is the easiest way to move just these two types of files? i don't know how to find these files and move them?
    i know how to attach both imacs via firewire, i just don't know what is the best way to make the transfer of both these file types?
    thank you!

    copy the folders /users/username/music/itunes and /users/username/pictures/iphoto library to the corresponding locations on the new install.
    note: itunes and iphoto should not be running when you do this.
