Migrating Users Using The Parfile, Usersfile, And Logfile Parameters - Oracle Database B10772-01 Administrator's Manual

Migrating Users Using the PARFILE, USERSFILE, and LOGFILE Parameters

It is possible to enter user information and User Migration Utility parameters into a
text file and pass the information and parameters to the utility using the PARFILE
and USERSFILE parameters. The LOGFILE parameter sets the directory path for
the log file where details about the migration for each user are written.
The PARFILE parameter tells the utility where a text file is located that contains the
parameters for a bulk user migration. The USERSFILE parameter works like the
PARFILE parameter, except it contains database users instead of parameters. The
parameters and users lists contain one parameter or user for each line. The
LOGFILE parameter tells the utility where to write the system events that occur
during a user migration, such as errors. Use the USERSFILE parameter during
phase one of the migration process. The PARFILE and LOGFILE parameters can be
used in both phases.
Example G–4
scott1, scott2, and all external database users, while retaining their old
schemas, to the directory at c=Users, c=us. In this example a log of migration
events is written to the file errorfile1 in the directory where the utility is run. If
another location is desired, then include the path with the file name.
Example G–4 Parameter Text File (par.txt) to Use with the PARFILE Parameter
DBLOCATION=machine1:1521:ora_sid
DBADMIN=system:manager
USERS=ALL_EXTERNAL:LIST:FILE
USERSLIST=scott1:scott2
USERSFILE=usrs.txt
DIRLOCATION=machine2:636
CONTEXT="c=Users, c=us"
ENTADMIN="cn=janeadmin":welcome
LOGFILE=errorfile1
Example G–5
