In-Depth Information
This generates a file that can be used to import the definitions into another BAM
instance. The generated file
SalesDataObjects.xml
is in the following format:
<?xmlversion="1.0"?>
<OracleBAMExportVersion="2025">
<DataObjectVersion="14"Name="FilmSales"ID="_Film_Sales"
Path="/Samples"External="0">
<Layout>
<ColumnName="Region"ID="_Region"Type="string"MaxSize="100"
Nullable="1"Public="1"/>
…
<Indexes/>
</Layout>
</DataObject>
<DataObjectVersion="14"Name="MediaSales"ID="_Media_Sales"
Path="/Samples"External="0">
…
</DataObject>
</OracleBAMExport>
Note that it is possible to edit the contents of the exported data files, and this can
provide a means to batch load reference data from another system into BAM.
To import from a file
employees.xml
, we issue the following command:
D:\ FMW11gPS1\SOA\bam\bin>icommand -cmd import -file Employees.xml
OracleBAMCommandUtility[Build7562,BAMRepositoryVersion2025]

BAM instance.
Summary
The SOA Suite provides facilities for moving configurations between different
environments, using either web-based tools or command-line tools. Generally,
the use of command-line tools allows deployment to be more repeatable through
scripting. Some properties must be modified during the move from one environment
to another and configuration plan files make this easier.
