Isetup to Transfer Setup from One instance to another

Introduction

This document provides a complete, up-to-date description of Oracle iSetup Minipack 11i.AZ.H (5140723). The main focus of iSetup is to help migrate functional setups from one E-Business Suite instance to another. During migration, setups can be extracted selectively using filters on setup attributes. Extracted setup data can be optionally transformed before loading into target instance.
Both the source and target should be in the same iSetup patch level .

Attention:
Oracle iSetup Minipack 11i.AZ.H can be applied only to an existing Oracle Applications Release 11.5.10 system

Pre-install Steps

1. Upgrade to Oracle Database 9.2.0.5 or Higher (Required)
       2. XML DB Setup:
 Oracle iSetup minipack AZ.H requires the Oracle Database version 9.2.0.5 or   above with Oracle XML DB enabled. Please refer to your version specific Oracle XML Database Developer’s Guide.
 You can determine whether or not Oracle XML DB is already installed. You   could use the following queries to do this.
a.Check if the user XDB exists.
Query to use: SELECT * FROM ALL_USERS where username = ‘XDB’
b.Confirm that the View RESOURCE_VIEW exists.
Query to use: DESCRIBE RESOURCE_VIEW
c.Determine whether Oracle XML DB status is valid.
Query to use: Select status from dba_registry where comp_id = ‘XDB’;
