Importing and Exporting Repositories Using the repimexp Utility


Import and export repositories using the repimexp.exe program only if your migration requires special parameters settings that are inaccessible through the batch files or if you need to perform a file dump. In all other cases, use the Database Configuration Wizard.

For information on importing and exporting repositories using the Database Configuration Wizard, see Using Siebel Tools.

The repimexp.exe program imports, exports, or creates a file dump of a repository. It can also import an INTL table. INTL tables contain language-specific information and are a part of the repository.

To import a repository using repimexp

  • In the command line, type the following:

    repimexp /A I /G language_codes

    where:

    /A I = import switch.

    language_codes = a list such as ENU, FRA, JPN. Use ALL for all languages.

    NOTE:  If you want to import your repository with locale objects, you must specify at least one language code. Otherwise, no locale objects will be imported, and the repository will not have any text in the user interface when you compile the imported repository.

To export a repository using repimexp

  • In the command line, type the following:

    repimexp /A E argument_list

    Export uses the arguments listed in Table 2.
