2.3 Creating the Export Bundle

The export bundle is a ".jar " file and consists of the metadata information from the 11g Oracle home.

To create an export bundle:

1. Run the BI Migration Tool without passing parameters. Enter the following command:
   On UNIX operating system:
   JDK_HOME/bin/java -jar bi-migration-tool.jar
   On Windows operating system:
   JDK_HOME\bin\java -jar bi-migration-tool.jar
   This command displays the list of parameters that you can include for the BI Migration Tool to locate various parts of the 11g system.
2. Run the BI Migration Tool with the following parameters this time to create an export bundle.

   Table 2-1 Parameter Description: Creating Export Bundle

   Parameter	Description
   out	Indicates the BI Migration Tool to run in Export mode.
   <oracle 11g home>	Specifies the Oracle home directory. This is typically the directory Oracle_BI inside Middleware home.
   DOMAIN_HOME	Specify the Domain home directory. This is typically the directory user_projects/domains/bi/ inside the Middleware home.
   <output export bundle path>	Specifies the file name of the export bundle where the output is written. The output is not a BAR file. The file name of the export bundle must include the "jar" extension.

   Following is a sample command for creating an export bundle:
   On UNIX operating system:
   JDK_HOME/bin/java -jar ORACLE_HOME/bi/migration-tool/jlib/bi-migration-tool.jar out ORACLE_HOME/Oracle_BI1 DOMAIN_HOME/tmp/migration-tool-test/test_export.jar
   On Windows operating system:
   JDK_HOME\bin\java -jar ORACLE_HOME\bi\migration-tool\jlib\bi-migration-tool.jar out ORACLE_HOME\Oracle_BI1 DOMAIN_HOME\tmp\migration-tool-test\test_export.jar
   Where,

   Table 2-2 Parameter Values: Creating Export Bundle

   Parameter	Description
   ORACLE_HOME/bi/migration-tool/jlib/bi-migration-tool.jar	The location where the BI Migration Tool is copied.
   ORACLE_HOME/Oracle_BI1	The path where the Oracle home directory is located.
   DOMAIN_HOME	The path where the Domain home directory is located.
   /tmp/migration-tool-test/test_export.jar	The location where the export bundle is created.

   Note:

   Make sure to replace these file paths with the respective paths on your system.
   The following message indicates a successful export:
