RE: Export/Import Job
Re-reading my e-mail I had better jump in and correct the first line to read exporting/importing rather than exporting!!.

RE: Export/Import Job
Nick, Export/Import on an Oracle Apps database is not very well supported. It is my understanding (from another list) that a bug (or is that a feature :) currently exists. This may not be applicable in your situation. A loss of Java objects has been reported. Keeping in mind that Quest may need to know about this for a testing scenario, this may be Ok, but not if you want the Apps database to work from a logical point of view Nick, if you would to like to follow this up, join the OAUGnet-DBA list at 'www.oaug.net' via the Web ans search for the thread 'RE: export/import of 11i database - fyi update'.
