Hi Pramod,

> Archive will also copy the data from the existing reposiotry.

This depends on the options you choose when creating the archive. If you right-click on a repository and select archive, you'll get the well known archiving popup window. There you'll find an "options" button. By selecting this one, you can choose to create an archive w/o data, too.

Best regards

Dear Madhu,

Some points other than Shiv has mentioned.

If you want only the schema then please go ahead create a schema out of the existing repository. You can create a new reposiotry by importing the schema which was transported earlier. This option will give you only the repository structuyre and can be used when moving from one environment to other.

Archive will also copy the data from the existing reposiotry.

Regards,

Pramod

Hi Madhu,

You can create archive file (.a2a) to the repository and can unarchive it on the other MDM server running on some other data base.

Repository archive file is database & OS independent file. to create an archive file, right click on the repository on Console. Select Option "Archive Repository". Specify the Archive file name and select Ok.

This will create a .a2a. file in the archive directory of MDM server. Copy and paste this file to the archive target mDM server running on some other database. to unarchive repository on new MDM server, right click on mounted MDM server, and select "unarchive repository". Specify DBMS login details, Archive file and repository name on the next screen and click ok.

This will create repository from the archive file. This new repository will have same schema as your previous repository. You can also create schema only archive files too.

For more details please refer console reference guide available at help.sap.com
