Exporting Metadata from MDS and Importing Metadata into MDS

Version: Oracle Identity Manager 11g R1
Description: This post demonstrates how to export and import metadata. This is useful for making system configuration changes in OIM as well as pushing up plugins. As an example, I will export the OIM main configuration file from OIM. MDS Schema and import a modified OIM main configuration file into OIM.MDS. The changes made in the OIM main configuration file would disable reloading of adapters and plugin.
