Export/Import Process for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12
Database Instances Using Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or 11g Release 2
December 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document describes the process of re-creating an existing Applications Release 12.x database instance using the datapump utilities. The most current version of these notes is Note 741818.1 on My Oracle Support. There is a change log at the end of this document.
The datapump utilities allow you to move existing data in Oracle format to and from Oracle databases. For example, datapump export files can archive database data, or move data among different Oracle databases that run on the same or different operating systems. This document assumes that you are already familiar with datapump.
There are special considerations when exporting or importing an Applications Release 12 database instance. This process consists of five discrete steps. Each step is covered in a separate section in this document.
Section 1: Prepare the source system
Tasks that must be performed to prepare the source system for the database export
Section 2: Prepare a target Release 12 database instance
Tasks for creating an empty database instance in preparation for import
Section 3: Export the source Release 12 database instance
Tasks that must be performed to produce a valid export of an Applications Release 12 database instance
Section 4: Import the Release 12 database instance
Tasks for running the import utility
Section 5: Update the imported Release 12 database instance
Tasks that must be performed to restore the imported Applications Release 12 database instance to a fully functional state
The source (export from) ORACLE_HOME directories must be Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0) or Oracle Database 11g (11.x). The target (import to) ORACLE_HOME directories must be Oracle Database 11g (11.x). You may not downgrade using export/import.
The export/import process may use either or both the datapump utilities (expdp/impdp) and the traditional export/import (exp/imp). For more information, read Oracle Database Utilities 11g Release 1 (11.1) or Oracle Database Utilities 11g Release 2 (11.2).
Attention: This document uses UNIX/Linux syntax when describing directory structures. However, it applies to Windows servers as well. Where there is a significant difference in tasks for Windows, specific instructions are given.
Some of the tasks in this document affect the APPL_TOP of one or more application server tiers. Those tasks require that the Applications file system environment be enabled by running the APPSORA.env file (for UNIX or Linux) or the envshell.cmd file (for Windows) prior to performing the tasks. Other tasks affect the Applications database instance. Those tasks require that the Oracle 11g environment be enabled by running the [ORACLE_SID].env/cmd file under the Oracle 11g Oracle home on the database server node prior to performing the tasks. In addition, you may have more than one Oracle home installed on the database server node, so it is important that you run the correct [ORACLE_SID].env/cmd file before performing tasks that affect the database instance. Read the instructions carefully to determine which environment should be enabled for each step.
Attention: This document assumes that the source and target application server tiers are the same. Creating new application server tiers for the target environment has to be done either before starting or after completing all the steps in this document. Then, update and run AutoConfig for the source database and application server tiers to enable the source environment.
Attention: If you are using Oracle Database Vault, refer to Note 822048.1 before performing any step in this document.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1: Prepare the source system
This section describes how to ensure that you have the required patches, create your export file, and capture important information that is required to import your database.
Apply prerequisite patches
Ensure that you have applied steps 1 and 2 in Section 1 of the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0) Interoperability Notes if you are importing an E-Business Suite Release 12.0 into 11.1.0, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0) Interoperability Notes if you are importing an E-Business Suite Release 12.1 into 11.1.0, or Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) Interoperability Notes if you are importing an E-Business Suite Release 12.x into 11.2.
When performing the AutoConfig prerequisite instructions, ensure that steps 3.1 and 3.2.1 of the Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 document are completed. The other steps in 3.2 are not necessary as they will be done at the target side.
Apply the Applications consolidated export/import utility patch
Apply patch 7120092 to the source administration server node. This patch provides several SQL scripts that facilitate exporting and importing an Applications database instance.
Create a working directory
Create a working directory named expimp in the source system that will contain all generated files and scripts required to complete this section. As an example,
$ mkdir /u01/expimp
Generate target database instance creation script aucrdb.sql
The target database instance must be created with the same tablespace structure as the source database instance. The export/import patch provides the auclondb.sql script which generates the aucrdb.sql script, which you use to create the target database instance with the appropriate tablespace and file structure. The script converts all tablespaces except for SYSTEM to locally managed tablespaces with auto segment space management, if they are not already so.
On the source administration server node, use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSTEM and run the $AU_TOP/patch/115/sql/auclondb.sql script. It creates aucrdb.sql in the current directory.
$ sqlplus system/[system password] \
@$AU_TOP/patch/115/sql/auclondb.sql 11
Record Advanced Queue settings
Advanced Queue settings are not propagated in the target database instance during the export/import process. Therefore, you must record them beforehand and enable them in the target database instance afterwards. The export/import patch contains auque1.sql, which generates a script called auque2.sql. You can use auque2.sql to enable the settings in the target database instance.
Copy the auque1.sql script from the $AU_TOP/patch/115/sql directory on the source administration server node to the working directory in the source database server node. Then, on the source database server node, as the owner of the source database server file system and database instance, use SQL*Plus to connect to the source database as sysdba and run the auque1.sql script. It generates auque2.sql.
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba;
SQL> @auque1.sql
Create parameter file for tables with long columns (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2, tables with long columns may not propagate properly in datapump. Therefore, they have to be migrated separately using the traditional export/import utilities.
Copy the aulong.sql script from the $AU_TOP/patch/115/sql directory on the source administration server node to the working directory in the source database server node. Then, on the source database server node, as the owner of the source database server file system and database instance, use SQL*Plus to connect to the source database as sysdba and run the aulong.sql script. It generates aulongexp.dat.
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect system/[system password];
SQL> @aulong.sql
Remove rebuild index parameter in spatial indexes
Ensure that you do not have the rebuild index parameter in the spatial indexes. To see if you have any rebuild index parameters, on the source database server node, as the owner of the source database server file system and database instance, use SQL*Plus to connect to the source database as sysdba and run the following command:
SQL> select * from dba_indexes where index_type='DOMAIN' and
upper(parameters) like '%REBUILD%';
To remove the rebuild index parameter, use SQL*Plus to connect to the source database as the owner of the index and run the following command: SQL> alter index [index name] rebuild parameters [parameters]
where [parameters] is the original parameter set without the rebuild_index parameter.
Deregister the current database server (conditional)
If you plan to change the database port, host, SID, or database name parameter on the database server, deregister the current database server node by running the following command as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and current database instance:
$ perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps
contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE -removeserver
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2: Prepare a target Release 12 database instance
This section describes how to create the empty target database and populate it with all of the required system objects prior to running import.
The Oracle home of the target database instance can be the same Oracle home that the source database instance uses, or it can be different (on another machine running a different operating system, for example), as long as it uses Oracle Database 11g Release 1 Enterprise Edition.
Create target Oracle 11g Oracle home (conditional)
If you want the target Oracle 11g Oracle home to be separate from the source Oracle home, you must create it now. Perform the steps in the "Database Installation" subsection of Section 1 of the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0) Interoperability Notes, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0) Interoperability Notes, or Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) Interoperability Notes.
Modify sqlnet.ora file (Windows only)
If the target database server node is running Windows, add the following line to the sqlnet.ora file in the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\[SID] directory, if it does not already exist:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)
Create the target initialization parameter file and CBO parameter file
The initialization parameter file (init[SID].ora) and cost-based optimizer (CBO) parameter file (ifilecbo.ora) are located in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory on the source database server node. Copy both files to the Oracle 11g $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory on the target database server node.
Refer to Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle Applications Release 12 and update both the init.ora and ifilecbo.ora files with any necessary changes. You may also need to update initialization parameters involving the db_name, control_files, and directory structures.
Ensure that the undo_tablespace parameter in the initialization parameter file of the target database instance matches with the default undo tablespace set in the aucrdb.sql script.
Ignore the initialization parameters that pertain to the native compilation of PL/SQL code. You will be instructed to add them later, if necessary.
Create a working directory
Create a working directory named expimp in the target system that will contain all generated files and scripts required to complete this section. As an example,
$ mkdir /u01/expimp
Create the target database instance
Copy the aucrdb.sql script, generated in Section 1, from the source administration server node to the working directory in the target database server node. Then update the script on the target database server node with any necessary changes to the directory structures for the log file(s), data file(s), or tablespaces, reflecting the layout of the target database server node. You may enlarge the file sizes to ensure that tablespaces do not run out. If the target database server node is running Windows, update the directory structure from UNIX/Linux format to Windows format or vice versa.
Make sure that the environment of your session on the target database server node is set up properly for the target database instance, especially the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and ORA_NLS10 environment settings. (ORACLE_SID must be set to the same value as the db_name parameter in the init[SID].ora file.) Then, use the following commands to run aucrdb.sql and create the target database instance:
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba;
SQL> spool aucrdb.log;
For UNIX or Linux:
SQL> startup nomount;
SQL> @aucrdb.sql
SQL> exit;
For Windows:
SQL> startup nomount pfile=%ORACLE_HOME%\dbs\init%ORACLE_SID%.ora
SQL> @aucrdb.sql
SQL> exit;
If PL/SQL of the source database was natively compiled, see the "Compiling PL/SQL Code for Native Execution" section of Chapter 11 of Oracle Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1) or Chapter 12 of Oracle Database PL/SQL Language Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) for instructions on how to natively compile PL/SQL in the target database. Add the parameters that pertain to the native compilation where specified. Do not use the natively compiled code generated by the source database. Oracle does not support switching the PL/SQL compilation mode from interpreted to native (and vice-versa) for an export/import. Exporting/importing using native mode takes significantly more time than interpreted mode.
When the target database instance has been created, restart the database instance.
Note: You may modify the sizes of the database files in aucrdb.sql to ensure enough tablespace. Querying the dba_free_space and dba_data_files tables in the source database can give you an idea of how much tablespace is required. However, this is no guarantee as the space requirements may change depending on the extent sizes used by each object. Not having enough tablespace will cause failures as well as a major performance degradation in the import run.
Copy database preparation scripts to target Oracle home
The export/import patch that you applied to the source administration server node in Section 1 contain four scripts that are needed on the target database server node. Copy the following files from the $AU_TOP/patch/115/sql directory of the source administration server node to the working directory in the target database server node: audb1110.sql/audb1120.sql, ausy1110.sql/ausy1120.sql, aujv1110.sql/aujv1120.sql, and aumsc1110.sql/aumsc1120.sql (UNIX or Linux) or audb1110_nt.sql/audb1120_nt.sql, ausy1110_nt.sql/ausy1120_nt.sql, aujv1110_nt.sql/aujv1120_nt.sql, and aumsc1110_nt.sql/aumsc1120_nt.sql (Windows).
As you run each of the next four steps, note the following:
The remarks section at the beginning of each script contains additional information.
Each script creates a log file in the current directory.
Set up the SYS schema
The audb1110.sql, audb1120.sql, audb1110_nt.sql, or audb1120_nt.sql script sets up the SYS schema for use with the Applications. On the target database server node, use SQL*Plus to connect to the target database instance as SYSDBA and run audb1110.sql/audb1120.sql (UNIX/Linux) or audb1110_nt.sql/audb1120_nt.sql (Windows).
Here is an example on UNIX or Linux for 11.2.0:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @audb1120.sql
Set up the SYSTEM schema
The ausy1110.sql, ausy1120.sql, ausy1110_nt.sql, or ausy1120_nt.sql script sets up the SYSTEM schema for use with the Applications. On the target database server node, use SQL*Plus to connect to the target database instance as SYSTEM and run ausy1110.sql/ausy1120.sql (UNIX/Linux) or ausy1110_nt.sql/ausy1120_nt.sql (Windows).
Here is an example on UNIX or Linux for 11.2.0:
$ sqlplus system/[system password] @ausy1120.sql
Install Java Virtual Machine
The aujv1110.sql, aujv1120.sql, aujv1110_nt.sql, or aujv1120_nt.sql script installs the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in the database. On the target database server node, use SQL*Plus to connect to the target database instance as SYSTEM and run aujv1110.sql/aujv1120.sql (UNIX/Linux) or aujv1110_nt.sql/aujv1120_nt.sql (Windows).
Here is an example on UNIX or Linux for 11.2.0:
$ sqlplus system/[system password] @aujv1120.sql
Attention: This script can be run only once in a given database instance, because the scripts that it calls are not rerunnable.
Install other required components
The aumsc1110.sql, aumsc1120.sql, aumsc1110_nt.sql, or aumsc1120_nt.sql script installs the following required components in the database: ORD, Spatial, XDB, OLAP, Data Mining, interMedia, and ConText. On the target database server node, use SQL*Plus to connect to the target database instance as SYSTEM and run aumsc1110.sql/aumsc1120.sql (UNIX/Linux) or aumsc1110_nt.sql/aumsc1120_nt.sql (Windows). You must pass the following arguments to the script, in the order specified:
Argument Value
remove context? FALSE
SYSAUX tablespace SYSAUX
temporary tablespace TEMP
Here is an example on UNIX or Linux for 11.2.0:
$ sqlplus system/[system password] \
@aumsc1120.sql FALSE SYSAUX TEMP
Attention: All of the components are created in the SYSAUX tablespace regardless of where it was installed in the source database.
Set CTXSYS parameter (conditional)
If your target database is 11g Release 2 (11.2.0), use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following command:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> exec ctxsys.ctx_adm.set_parameter('file_access_role', 'public');
Disable automatic gathering of statistics
Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adstats.sql from the administration server node to the target database server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and use the following commands to restart the database in restricted mode and run adstats.sql:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system enable restricted session;
SQL> @adstats.sql
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system disable restricted session;
SQL> exit;
Back up the target database instance
The target database instance is now prepared for an import of the Applications data. You should perform a backup before starting the import.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3: Export the source Release 12 database instance
This section describes how to ensure that you have the required patches, create your export file, and capture important information that is required to import your database.
Create the export parameter file
A template for the export parameter file has been included as part of the the export/import patch. Copy $AU_TOP/patch/115/import/auexpdp.dat from the source administration server node to the working directory in the source database server node. Use a text editor to modify the file to reflect the source environment and other customized parameters.
The customizable parameters are:
Parameter Description Template Value
directory directory where the export dump files will be created dmpdir
dumpfile export dump file name(s) aexp%U.dmp
filesize export dump file size 1GB
log log file name expdpapps.log
interMedia, OLAP, and Data Mining schemas are not exported. The aumsc1110.sql script creates these schemas in the target database. Ensure that the schema names in the exclude parameters reflect those in your database.
If your source database is Oracle Database 11g (11.x), add the following line to the parameter file:
QUERY=applsys.wf_item_attribute_values:"where item_type!='WFERROR' and
name != 'EVENT_MESSAGE'"
Create a directory in the system schema that corresponds to the directory specified in the template. Here is an example of how to create a directory named dmpdir:
$ sqlplus system/[system password]
SQL> create directory dmpdir as '/u01/expimp';
Do not change the other parameters.
The export process uses as many of the listed file names as necessary to hold the exported data. You must ensure that the number of dump files specified, as well as the size of each dump file, is sufficient to contain all the data in your source database instance.
Shut down Applications server processes
Shut down all Applications server processes except the database and the Net8 listener for the database. Users cannot use the Applications until the import is completed.
Grant privilege to source system schema
Grant the exempt access policy privilege to system by using SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following command:
SQL> grant EXEMPT ACCESS POLICY to system;
Export the Applications database instance
Start an export session on the source database server node using the customized export parameter file.
If the source database is 10.2.0 or 11.1.0, use the following command:
$ expdp system/[system password] parfile=[export parameter file name]
If the source database is 11.2.0, use the following command:
$ expdp "'/ as sysdba'" parfile=[export parameter file name]
Typically, the export runs for several hours.
Export tables with long columns (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0), start an export session on the source database server node using the customized aulongexp.dat file generated in Section 1. Use the following command:
$ exp parfile=aulongexp.dat
Export tables with XML type columns (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0), copy $AU_TOP/patch/115/import/auxmlexp.dat from the source administration server to the working directory in the source database server node. Start an export session on the source database server node using the following command:
$ exp parfile=auxmlexp.dat
Revoke privilege from source system schema
Revoke the exempt access policy privilege from system by using SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following command:
SQL> revoke EXEMPT ACCESS POLICY from system;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4: Import the Release 12 database instance
This section describes how to use the import utility to load the Oracle Applications data into the target database.
Create the import parameter files
Copy auimpdp.dat, aufullimp.dat, and auimpusr.dat from the $AU_TOP/patch/115/import directory in the source administration server node to the working directory in the target database server node. Make sure that the directory, dumpfile, and logfile parameters in auimpdp.dat and auimpusr.dat are set properly.
Create a directory in the system schema with the name set to the directory specified in the template and the path set to where the export dump files will reside. Here is an example of how to create a directory named dmpdir:
$ sqlplus system/[system password]
SQL> create directory dmpdir as '/u01/expimp';
Save the changed file.
Copy the export dump files
Copy the export dump files from the source database server node to the working directory in the target database server node.
Import the users into the target database (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0), start an import session on the target database server node using the customized import parameter file. Use the following command:
$ impdp system/[system password] parfile=auimpusr.dat
Import tables with long columns into the target database (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0), modify the aufullimp.dat file with the following:
Set userid to "sys/[sys password] as sysdba".
Set file to the dump file containing the long tables (longexp by default).
Set the log file appropriately.
Leave the ignore parameter commented out.
Import the tables using the following command:
$ imp parfile=aufullimp.dat
Attention: You will get failures for the triggers as the dependent tables have not yet been imported.
Import the Applications database instance
If your source database is Oracle Database 11g (11.x), remove or comment out all the exclude parameters in the auimpdp.dat parameter file. If your source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0), leave the parameter file as is. Start an import session on the target database server node using the auimpdp.dat parameter file.
If the target database is 11.1.0, use the following command:
$ impdp system/[system password] parfile=auimpdp.dat
If the target database is 11.2.0, use the following command:
$ impdp "'/ as sysdba'" parfile=[export parameter file name]
Typically, import runs for several hours.
Import triggers into the target database (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0), modify the aufullimp.dat file with the following:
Set userid to "sys/[sys password] as sysdba".
Set file to the dump file containing the long tables (longexp by default).
Change the log file name.
Uncomment the ignore parameter.
Add a line with the parameter "rows=n".
Start an import session on the target database server node using the customized import parameter file. Use the following command:
$ imp parfile=aufullimp.dat
Revoke privilege from target system schema
Revoke the exempt access policy privilege from system by using SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following command:
SQL> revoke EXEMPT ACCESS POLICY from system;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5: Update the imported Release 12 database instance
This section describes how to recreate the database objects and relationships that are not handled by the export and import utilities.
Reset Advanced Queues
Copy the auque2.sql script that was generated in Section 1 from the working directory in the source database server node to the working directory in the target database server node. Then, on the target database server node, as the owner of the Oracle 11g file system and database instance, use SQL*Plus to connect to the target database as SYSDBA and run the auque2.sql script to enable the Advanced Queue settings that were lost during the export/import process. The script creates a log file in the current directory.
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba;
SQL> @auque2.sql
Start the new database listener (conditional)
If the Oracle Net listener for the database instance in the new Oracle home has not been started, you must start it now. Since AutoConfig has not yet been implemented, start the listener with the lsnrctl executable (UNIX/Linux) or Services (Windows). See the Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide, 11g Release 1 (11.1) or Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide, 11g Release 2 (11.2) for more information.
Attention: Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to the directory where you created your listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files.
Run adgrants.sql
Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adgrants.sql (adgrants_nt.sql for Windows) from the administration server node to the working directory in the database server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the script using the following command:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @adgrants.sql (or adgrants_nt.sql) \
[APPS schema name]
Note: Verify the usage of adgrants.sql in the adgrants.sql script. Older versions of adgrants.sql require the APPLSYS schema name parameter to be passed instead of APPS.
Grant create procedure privilege on CTXSYS
Copy $AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adctxprv.sql from the administration server node to the database server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as APPS and run the script using the following command:
$ sqlplus apps/[APPS password] @adctxprv.sql \
[SYSTEM password] CTXSYS
Apply patch 6494466 (conditional)
If the target database is Windows and the source is not, apply patch 6494466 on the target database tier. Create the appsutil directory if needed.
Implement and run AutoConfig
Implement and run AutoConfig in the new Oracle home on the database server node. If the database listener of the new Oracle home is defined differently than the old Oracle home, you must also run AutoConfig on each application tier server node to update the system with the new listener.
See Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 on My Oracle Support, especially section 3.2, for instructions on how to implement and run AutoConfig.
Shut down all processes, including the database and the listener, and restart them to load the new environment settings.
Gather statistics for SYS schema
Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and use the following commands to restart the database in restricted mode, run adstats.sql, and restart the database in normal mode:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system enable restricted session;
SQL> @adstats.sql
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system disable restricted session;
SQL> exit;
Attention: Make sure that you have at least 1.5 GB of free default temporary tablespace.
Re-create custom database links (conditional)
If the Oracle Net listener in the 11g Oracle home is defined differently than the one used by the old Oracle home, you must re-create any custom self-referential database links that exist in the Applications database instance. To check for the existence of database links, use SQL*Plus on the database server node to connect to the Applications database instance as APPS and run the following query:
$ sqlplus apps/[apps password]
SQL> select db_link from dba_db_links;
The EDW_APPS_TO_WH and APPS_TO_APPS database links, if they exist, should have been updated with the new port number by AutoConfig in the previous step.
If you have custom self-referential database links in the database instance, use the following commands to drop and re-create them:
$ sqlplus apps/[apps password]
SQL> drop database link [custom database link];
SQL> create database link [custom database link] connect to
[user] identified by [password] using
'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=[hostname])
(PORT=[port number]))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=[ORACLE_SID])))';
where [custom database link], [user], [password], [hostname], [port number], and [ORACLE_SID] reflect the new Oracle Net listener for the database instance.
Create ConText and AZ objects
Certain ConText objects and the AZ objects dependent on the tables with XML type columns are not preserved by the import process. The consolidated export/import utility patch that you applied to the source administration server node in Section 1 contains a perl script, dpost_imp.pl, that you can run to generate an AutoPatch driver file. You use this driver file to call the scripts that create these objects. Run the following command:
$ perl $AU_TOP/patch/115/bin/dpost_imp.pl [driver file]\
[source database version]
Set [source database version] to 10 if the source database is 10.2 or to 11 if the source database is 11g.
Once the driver file has been generated, use AutoPatch to apply it on the target administration server node.
Import tables with XML type columns into the target database (conditional)
If the source database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2, modify the aufullimp.dat file with the following:
Set userid to "az/[az password]"
Set file to the dump file containing the tables with XML types (xmlexp by default).
Change the log file name.
Comment out the ignore parameter.
Start an import session on the target database server node using the customized import parameter file. Use the following command:
$ imp parfile=aufullimp.dat
Once the import is complete, you can delete the export dump files, as well as the export and import parameter files, from the source and target database server nodes.
Populate CTXSYS.DR$SQE table
To populate the CTXSYS.DR$SQE table, use SQL*Plus on the database server node to connect to the Applications database instance as APPS and run the following command:
$ sqlplus apps/[apps password]
