Hi All..

ver . 11.1.1.7.x

If I have to copy the whole catalog from catalog manager to a target system .. should  I be copying the all the folders .. Shared/system/users as a whole ?

Note: the target system has no catalog .

Thanks again..

    As I said in the other thread: the proper way for deployment is the runcat command. You can archive and unarchive the whole thing correctly.

    Chris .. what I learned is that there are couple of ways to move the catalog from one env to another ..

    1) manual copy the Catalog folder as a whole and paste in the target

    2)Catalog manager .. open one catalog manager and connect to source catalog , you will then see 3 folders shared, system and users and you copy them and open a new catalog manager and connect to target and paste there .

    3) Catalog manager .. archive and save on desktop and unarchive  at target system...

    I understand that you are saying the 3) is the best one? is that one you recommend? May I know whats the rationale behind this?

    Thanks...

    Catalog Manager is the GUI on top of the runcat commands. Why?

    It's the standard way. It's the supported way. It's the way things work in 12c. It puts things properly into a .catalog archive and deploys it through the API. Not simply via a file system operation.

    Once you go to something supported like the newer 12c versions the file system operation is highly NOT recommended.

    Thanks .. so doing through Catalog Manager (GUI) is same as doing through runcat commands? Am i right?

    This is 11g I'm talking about .. so lets not complicate and mix the things by bringing 12c. I appreciate.

    You have almost the same capabilities. Command line is more powerful though.

    Thanks .. so back to my question  .. so if I'm doing through Catalog Manager(GUI) .. shall I do with copy and paste way or archive and unarchive way  and shall I do for all the there folder  Shared/system/users as a whole?

    Not sure if I started typing in hangul all of a sudden...

    No. Do NOT copy+paste. That is a file system operation. Bad.

    Yes archive/unarchive. Good. Full catalog.

    Seriously man you should maybe start reading up on these things and try to understand the underlying concepts because at some stage you will need something at least remotely resembling a coherent deployment strategy for example,
