Transportable Modules for Moving Large Volumes of Data

A transportable module enables OWB to rapidly copy a group of related database objects from one database to another.

You use the Design Center to create a transportable module for which you specify the source database location and the target database location. Then you select the database objects to be included in the transportable module. The metadata of the selected objects are imported from the source database into the transportable module. The metadata is stored in the workspace. To physically move the data and metadata from source into target, you need to configure and deploy the transportable module to the target location. During deployment, both data and metadata are extracted from the source database and created in the target database.
