What Setup Data Is Exported?

When you export the setup data, you export the changes that you've made to the values of the following objects:

  • Data Load Parameters
  • Domains and Mappings
  • Reporting Parameters

You export all changes that are different from the default values each time. The export process doesn't export the unchanged configuration values. In other words, if you only change the value of DEFAULT_CURRENCY from USD to Euro and export your data, then the export zip file that is produced only contains columns for "DEFAULT_CURRENCY=Euro".

Other Configuration Manager data (for example, source system configuration settings and configuration settings of Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse) isn't included in the export files. In other words, before you import to the target system, you must first respecify the source system and Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.

For a successful migration, the data source number (DSN) in the target system must be the same as the DSN in the source system.
