The documentation explains that you can use the Enterprise Manager in order to perform targeted exports. I have tried this since 2012 with very little success. I always seem to specify something incorrectly.
Here's another method from the same documentation.
My technique is as follows:
1) Create a new folder for exports. It can be anywhere. For the purposes of this blog, I will use the folder location /u01/app/mds/export
2) cd to the folder $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin Alternatively you could put this in your PATH. Be sure NOT to use the wlst.sh that is in the wlserver folder.
3) execute wlst.sh either through ./wlst.sh or just wlst.sh if it's in your PATH
wlst.sh
connect()
weblogic
<password>
t3://hostname:7001 or t3://admin-vhn:7001 for a clustered install
exportMetadata(application='OIMMetadata',server='oim_server1',toLocation='/u01/app/mds/export')
disconnect()
exit()
It will export all of your data to that folder. You can review all you want.
If you want to import just reverse the process:
mkdir /u01/app/mds/import
Copy only the files that you want to change, keeping their folder structure.
Edit the files (or add files as you please)
wlst.sh
connect()
weblogic
<password>
t3://hostname:7001 or t3://admin-vhn:7001 for a clustered install
importMetadata(application='OIMMetadata',server='oim_server1',fromLocation='/u01/app/mds/import')
disconnect()
exit()
