Case in hand: Given a PeopleSoft Data Mover exported data file (
db or
dat file), how to extract the DDL statements [from that data file] which gets executed as part of the Data Mover's data import process?
Here is a quick way to do it:
- Insert the
SET EXTRACT
statements in the Data Mover script (DMS) before the IMPORT ..
statement.
eg.,
% cat /tmp/retrieveddl.dms
..
SET EXTRACT OUTPUT /tmp/ddl_stmts.log;
SET EXTRACT DDL;
..
IMPORT *;
It is mandatory that the SET EXTRACT OUPUT
statement must appear before any SET EXTRACT
statements.
- Run the Data Mover utility with the modified DMS script as an argument.
eg., OS: Solaris
% psdmtx -CT ORACLE -CD NAP11 -CO NAP11 -CP NAP11 -CI people -CW peop1e -FP /tmp/retrieveddl.dms
On successful completion, you will find the DDL statements in /tmp/retrieveddl.dms file.
Check chapter #2 "Using PeopleSoft Data Mover" in
Enterprise PeopleTools x.xx PeopleBook: Data Management document for more ideas.
