Need to import an Oracle .dmp file, and wondering if there is a way to skip original username and password for the source Oracle database when we export the .dmp file? I have sys/system permission on the destination Oracle database.
thanks in advance,
Lin
Using the impdp utility you can import using the system user. Specify remap_schema and remap_tablespace to import your tables into a different schema and tablespace.
impdp system/password#database dumpfile=dump.dmp directory=directory remap_schema=from:to remap_tablespace=from:to

I am new to Oracledb. please help me to export whole data Dump and import same to another db to create another copy of database.
You need an administrative account (for example SYSTEM). Assuming you have this, the steps are:
create a directory object inside the database to map to a physical directory on both source and target
export the source database
import into the target database
For example
SQL> create directory X as '/u01/big_directory';
expdp system/mypassword#source full=Y directory=X dumpfile=full.dmp logfile=fullexp.log
impdp system/mypassword#target full=Y directory=X dumpfile=full.dmp logfile=fullimp.log
Also, check the "Database Utilities" guide in the standard Oracle documentation set for your release at docs.oracle.com
How can i import a .dmp file in to sql developer. i had already created schema and i just need to insert data with these dump files. I tried imp and impdb commmands in sql command line but of no use.
You don't use SQL Developer to process data pump or legacy EXPORT dumps.
You CAN use SQL Developer to create a Data Pump job which will process your data pump export - this assumes the file is avail on a DB directory.
For a better answer, tell us exactly what kind of 'dmp' file you have.
If it's a Oracle Export dmp, the only way to import it is with the Import utility.
I am newbie in oracle and I am facing troubles with impdp. I have a production server and I have created a new server for testing purposes, so I installed centos, oracle and created the database "sire". Now I make a dump from the production server with the following command:
expdp system/password#sire full=Y
directory=pump_dir dumpfile=sire_dump.dmp logfile=sire.log
The I come to the new server, and I execute impdp:
impdp system/password#sire full=Y
directory=pump_directorio dumpfile=sire_dump.dmp logfile=sire_imp.log
It starts to do the import but then I receive errors such as:
"the user vberrios does not exist". And also error beause it cannot
found some schemas and tablespaces.
My question is: It is not supposed that impdp full=Y must import all users and schemas? I have read that I have to create the users in the destination server but I have about 300 users in the database. How can I do a full import in a empty server. I just want to import the full database and user and all objects.
The documentation states, that impdp will create uses, when the dump file contains the create user statements:
If the schema you are remapping to does not already exist, the import
operation creates it, provided the dump file set contains the
necessary CREATE USER metadata and you are importing with enough
privileges.
So either your dump file is incomplete (for example due to missing privileges) or you are lacking privileges on the target database.
So please check your privileges on both, the source database and the target database. Please update your question with then according information. For the export to include the schema definitions, you must have the DATAPUMP_EXP_FULL_DATABASE privilege.
I am very new to DBA works. I have already exported (expdp) table and saved the dump files in a directory. I don't know the password of SCOTT user (default & example user). I want to import my tables to scott, but how can I? I am able to import (impdp) the table to system schema because I can do impdp system/password ..... because I know it's password.
First, run impdp help=y and go over the options.
Second, if you have privs for the sys schema you can access every other schema using it's name. e.g scott.emp. If you want to log into it directly you can just change the password.
Lastly, To import one schema into another you can use REMAP_SCHEMA option.
I'm one of the junior DBA working in IT company.In my company there are so many schemas is there.Now my question is How to create a dump file(some times i'm working at home.That time how to use that dump file ).Please suggest me
NOTE:I am using Oracle SQL Developer.
Expdp helps in exporting the database and impdp helps in importing the database. you can directly export one schema to another (in different database also) by using network link concept.
If network link concept is used then the creation of separate expdp file is not required.
For example If you have to export a schema called schema1 with password pwd1 from source database to target database then
first you need admin privileges of your target and source schema.
You can create a network link between source and target schema
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK example_link
CONNECT TO schema1 IDENTIFIED BY pwd1
USING 'server_name:port/service_name';--(put source database server_name,port and service name)
then create a directory in your target server :-
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY exp_dir AS 'F:/location';
grant read,write on directory exp_dir to schema1;
After this login to your target server and from command line use the below command:
impdp dba_username/dba_pwd network_link=example_link directory=exp_dir remap_tablespace=source_tbs:target_tbs remap_schema=schema1:schema1 parallel=2
You should use the Oracle Data Pump tool. The tool allows you to export your data into a .dmp file and import it into any database. Here is a video showing how to use the data pump tool in SQLDeveloper. I think this is a relatively new feature in SQLDeveloper, so make sure you have the appropriate versions..
Video Tutorial HERE
From the command line, you can use data pump with the expdp and impdp commands like so..
Set your oracle environment by running the below command and providing your oracle SID
. oraenv
Then you can run your export command..
expdp directory=/bu1/dpdump/ dumpfile=myexport.dmp logfile=mylog.log schemas=users,products,sales
The parameters are as follows..
directory - the directory where to create the dumpfile and log
dumpfile - name of the dump file (should end in .dmp)
logfile - name of the log file (should end in .log)
schemas - comma seperated list of the schemas you want to export
NOTE: you need dba privileges to use datapump. It will prompt you for the credentials
Data Pump Documentation is here
Exporting of ORACLE database objects is controlled by parameters. To get familiar with EXPORT parameters type:
exp help=y
You will get a short description and the default settings will be shown.
The EXPORT utility may be used in three ways:
Interactive dialogue
Controlled through bypassed parameters
Parameterfile controlled
Example to the 2nd option:
exp scott/tiger file=empdept.expdat tables=(EMP,DEPT) log=empdept.log
