Moving data from old metadata repository to new metadata rep

highpoint · Post by **highpoint** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:29 am

Currently we are using 7.5.2 planning to upgrade to 8.1.
The current metadata repository is on Universe. we want to use oracle metadata repository now.

1)Would like to know detailed steps to move metadata from universe metadata repository to oracle metadata repository.
2)For 8.1 is xmeta ie RDMS repository necessary or optional. Can we just have universe metadata repository as we have it for 7.5.2

Not sure how many times you want an answer to this... and the answer hasn't changed from the other two times.

Export from the old. Import into the new.

I am relatively novice to the tool.When you say export does that mean export using datastage manager. If yes, i dont see the option metadata repository there. I see options like job design, shared container, etc..

That is because you do not have a "choice of repositories". There is one and only one.

Thus you are given the list where you can opt - jobs, containers etc.

All of which comes from the metadata repository... there really isn't anywhere else to 'export' from in DataStage. And the 'import' goes right back into the repository, regardless of what makes it up.
