Exporting all of the MDS data for OIM 11g

If you want to export/backup all the MDS configuration files for OIM, then use the below WLST command:

 

Step1: Create a directory where you want all the configuration to be exported, for example MDSExport.

 

Step2: From the shell/command prompt, navigate to $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin

 

Step3: Execute the wlst.sh/wlst.cmd and issue the connect() command.

 

Step4: Provide the weblogic username, password and URL to Admin Server.

 

Step5: Execute the exportMetadata command providing at least the following arguments: application, server and toLocation.

 

For example, exportMetadata(‘OIMMedata’,’oim_server1’,’<<Full Path to MDSExport’)

 

Step6: You should see a list of the files exported, at that point you can issue the disconnect() command followed by the exit() command.

 

you can also save the above commands in a .py file, let’s say MDSExport.py and it can be executed directly without entering the credentails and URL everytime.

 

MDSExport.py

 

connect('weblogic',<<PASSWORD>>,'t3://<<server:7001>>)
exportMetadata(application='OIMMetadata', server='oim_server1', toLocation=<<Full Path to MDSExport’)
disconnect()
exit()

 

Now, you can simply run the below command:

./wlst.sh MDSExport.py

 

Note: You cannot export all the configuration files using Deployment Manager (DM) and also, DM doesn’t have version control.
