Export the InForm Portal database
To export the InForm Portal database to a DMP file:
- Copy the InForm\InstallSupport folder from the downloaded product image to the InForm application server.
- Run ExportPortalMigrationFiles.cmd (located in the InForm\InstallSupport folder on the InForm application server) to back up each InForm Portal database as a DMP file, using the following syntax:
ExportPortalMigrationFiles.cmd <TNS_Service_Name>
where:
TNS_Service_Name—TNS name for the database instance.
You are prompted for the following values:
- Portal user ID—Owner of the InForm Portal database schema.
- Portal user password—Password for the owner of the InForm Portal database schema.
- pfdbauid—User name of the InForm database administrator.
- pfdbapid—Password for the InForm database administrator.
- Dump file directory path—Location of the directory that you created on the InForm database server.
- Dump file name—Name of the DMP file to export.
Note: Do not include spaces in the dump file name or the directory path to the dump file.
You can also pass the parameters by using the /accountparams:"path_to_parameter_file" command option.
When specified, this option includes the path to a text file that contains the values required to run the command. The format of the parameter file is parameter=value. There is a new line for each parameter, and there are no spaces on a line.
The ExportPortalMigrationFiles command creates the following file:
- <dump_file_name>.dmp—The dump file name entered on the command line. The dump file is located on the InForm database server in the directory entered on the command line.
