Oracle 11g. Unable to import dump files, even though schema is created - oracle

I have created a user in Oracle 11gR2, using the following script
create user cata
identified by cata
default tablespace tbs
temporary tablespace temp;
grant DBA to cata;
After trying to import a dump file using the command
impdp system/password#ORCL11 schemas=cata dumpfile=cata.dmp logfile=log.txt
i'm getting the following error
ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39165: Schema ATGDB_CATA was not found.
Surprisingly, when i try to export a dump from the same schema, i'm able to do that. So, if the schema was not created properly then i should not be able to export the dump file as well, right ?
I have also checked in dba_users & the schema is created. Is there anything else that i can do which could resolve this problem

Out of the error message I guess that the original schema name was "atgdb_cata".
As you are now trying to import into a schema named "cata" you need to specify the parameter remap_schema
So for your case:
impdp system/password#ORCL11 schemas=atgdb_cata dumpfile=cata.dmp logfile=log.txt remap_schema=atgdb_cata:cata

Grant the roles of read and write on the Directory in which you created to the New User: EX:
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY dir_name TO NEW_USER:
Also grant the following role to the new user:
GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO NEW_USER;
Thanks!

SOLUTION:
create or replace directory test_ dir as 'FOLDER_NAME' ;
that 'FOLDER_NAME' must has that dump file
step : 1
create folder SAMPLE under orcle_installed_path/sql/SAMPLE
put that dump file into that SAMPLE folder.
go to bin and execute ./sqlplus
and login
SQL>create or replace directory test_ dir as 'SAMPLE' ;
SQL> SQL> GRANT READ, WRITE on directory test_dir to 'USER';
SQL> GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE to 'USER';
exit
then impdb to import that dump

Oracle DATAPUMP import failed

I am currently trying to import a database using DBMS_DATAPUMP in PL/SQL using the following script.
DECLARE
h1 NUMBER;
BEGIN
h1 := DBMS_DATAPUMP.OPEN('IMPORT', 'FULL', NULL, DBMS_SCHEDULER.generate_job_name, 'LATEST');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.ADD_FILE(handle => h1, filename => 'EXAMPLE6.DMP', directory => 'DUMP');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.START_JOB(h1);
dbms_datapump.detach(h1);
END;
/
Everytime I execute this code, I get the following error message.
ERROR in line 1:
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 4929
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 5180
ORA-06512: in line 5
I already googled the error, but the answer mostly consisted of checking if the directory was already created and if the user had read and write access to the directory.
I also tried the impdp tool just as an experiment, to see if I could execute imports that way.
impdp pdb2 directory="DUMP" dumpfile="EXAMPLE6.DMP"
Based on the user I am executing impdp as, I get different error messages.
As a user with all privileges granted:
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39000: bad dump file specification
ORA-39155: error expanding dump file name "C:\Users\...\EXAMPLE6.DMP"
ORA-48128: opening of a symbolic link is disallowed
As the sysdba user:
ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39070: unable to open the log file
ORA-39087: directory name DUMP is invalid
As I already said, the directory does exist on my drive, I created the directory called DUMP in Oracle and granted read and write access to my user.
All help would be appreciated and I would be happy to clarify if I wrote something confusing!
Edit:
Output of select directory_name, directory_path from dba_directories;

How to import dmp file to oracle DB via SqlDeveloper or CMD in windows?

I have an Oracle dump file that got exported from an unfamiliar database.
I need to import it to my Oracle DB with either SqlDeveloper or command line in windows.
When using Data Pump Import Wizard in SqlDeveloper I'm getting the below error:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
When using the CMD I'm getting the below error:
ORA-39002: invalid operation ORA-39070: Unable to open the log file. ORA-29283: invalid file operation ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 536 ORA-29283: invalid file operation
My command line:
impdp USER/password DUMPFILE=c:\folder_name\file_name.dmp TABLES=All LOG=dump_log.log
I tried different variations and each time the same error.
Thank you for your help.
The command is missing the directory or the files in the proper directory on the db server. The default is DATA_PUMP_DIR which can be found from the DB as follow.
SQL> SELECT directory_name, directory_path FROM dba_directories
2 WHERE directory_name='DATA_PUMP_DIR';
DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
_________________ _________________________________________________________________
DATA_PUMP_DIR /opt/oracle/admin/ORCL/dpdump/8967C87908440D12E053020011AC6F8A
To make a new directory:
CREATE DIRECTORY MY_DIR AS 'c:\folder_name\';
Then add the directory and remove the path from the file parameter.
impdp USER/password directory=MY_DIR DUMPFILE=file_name.dmp TABLES=All LOG=dump_log.log

*Cause: An attempt was made to read from a file or directory that does

Your error tells you exactly what the problem is:
*Cause: An attempt was made to read from a file or directory that does
not exist, or file or directory access was denied by the
operating system.
and what to do to fix it:
*Action: Verify file and directory access privileges on the file system,
and if reading, verify that the file exists.
So you specify:
DIRECTORY_PATH \\172.16.20.11\Mad\
are you able to actually access \\172.16.20.11\Mad\ with your oracle user?
if not, then you need to grant read, write on directory to user and also check OS permissions for your user to that path.
but also consider doing a network share to drive letter, instead of UNC path.
The reason for getting such issue is that you dont have read or write permission to the directory.
Run the below query to see if you have read and write priviledges:
SELECT *
FROM all_tab_privs
WHERE table_name = 'your_directory name';
If you find dont have any access then grant read and write privs.
SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY dir1 as '/opt/oracle/';
SQL>GRANT READ,WRITE on dir1 to <Required user>; (if you want to give access to particular user)
OR
SQL>GRANT READ,WRITE on dir1 to PUBLIC; (if you want to give access to all users then give access to public)

How to import an Oracle database from dmp file and log file?

How would I go about creating a database from a dump file? I do not have an existing database with the same structure on my system so it has to be complete with jobs, events, tables, and so on.
I placed the dump and log file in E: drive
I have tried the import utility
E:/>impdp system/tiger#oratest FILE=WB_PROD_FULL_20MAY11.dmp
But I'm getting error as
invalid argument value
bad dump file specification
unable to open dump file "E:\app\admin\oratest\dpdump\WB_PROD_F
ULL_20MAY11.dmp" for read
unable to open file
unable to open file
(OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
And when I see in Windows Explorer DMP file(taken from Linux server) is showing as Crash dump file
I don't understand how I can resolve this issue. Please help me to solve this issue.
I'm a complete newbie on Oracle...
How was the database exported?
If it was exported using exp and a full schema was exported, then
Create the user:
create user <username> identified by <password> default tablespace <tablespacename> quota unlimited on <tablespacename>;
Grant the rights:
grant connect, create session, imp_full_database to <username>;
Start the import with imp:
imp <username>/<password>#<hostname> file=<filename>.dmp log=<filename>.log full=y;
If it was exported using expdp, then start the import with impdp:
impdp <username>/<password> directory=<directoryname> dumpfile=<filename>.dmp logfile=<filename>.log full=y;
Looking at the error log, it seems you have not specified the directory, so Oracle tries to find the dmp file in the default directory (i.e., E:\app\Vensi\admin\oratest\dpdump\).
Either move the export file to the above path or create a directory object to pointing to the path where the dmp file is present and pass the object name to the impdp command above.
All this peace of code put into *.bat file and run all at once:
My code for creating user in oracle. crate_drop_user.sql file
drop user "USER" cascade;
DROP TABLESPACE "USER";
CREATE TABLESPACE USER DATAFILE 'D:\ORA_DATA\ORA10\USER.ORA' SIZE 10M REUSE
AUTOEXTEND
ON NEXT 5M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO
/
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "USER_TEMP" TEMPFILE
'D:\ORA_DATA\ORA10\USER_TEMP.ORA' SIZE 10M REUSE AUTOEXTEND
ON NEXT 5M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
UNIFORM SIZE 1M
/
CREATE USER "USER" PROFILE "DEFAULT"
IDENTIFIED BY "user_password" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USER"
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "USER_TEMP"
/
alter user USER quota unlimited on "USER";
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE SNAPSHOT TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE SYNONYM TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE TRIGGER TO "USER";
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO "USER";
GRANT "CONNECT" TO "USER";
GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY to "USER";
GRANT CREATE TYPE TO "USER";
create file import.bat and put this lines in it:
SQLPLUS SYSTEM/systempassword#ORA_alias #"crate_drop_user.SQL"
IMP SYSTEM/systempassword#ORA_alias FILE=user.DMP FROMUSER=user TOUSER=user GRANTS=Y log =user.log
Be carefull if you will import from one user to another. For example if you have user named user1 and you will import to user2 you may lost all grants , so you have to recreate it.
Good luck, Ivan
If you are using impdp command example from #sathyajith-bhat response:
impdp <username>/<password> directory=<directoryname> dumpfile=<filename>.dmp logfile=<filename>.log full=y;
you will need to use mandatory parameter directory and create and grant it as:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DMP_DIR AS 'c:\Users\USER\Downloads';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY DMP_DIR TO {USER};
or use one of defined:
select * from DBA_DIRECTORIES;
My ORACLE Express 11g R2 has default named DATA_PUMP_DIR (located at {inst_dir}\app\oracle/admin/xe/dpdump/) you sill need to grant it for your user.

Howto import an oracle dump in an different tablespace

I want to import an oracle dump into a different tablespace.
I have a tablespace A used by User A. I've revoked DBA on this user and given him the grants connect and resource. Then I've dumped everything with the command
exp a/*** owner=a file=oracledump.DMP log=log.log compress=y
Now I want to import the dump into the tablespace B used by User B. So I've given him the grants on connect and resource (no DBA). Then I've executed the following import:
imp b/*** file=oracledump.DMP log=import.log fromuser=a touser=b
The result is a log with lots of errors:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 20001: "BEGIN DBMS_STATS.SET_TABLE_STATS
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 20001 encountered
ORA-20001: Invalid or inconsistent input values
After that, I've tried the same import command but with the option statistics=none. This resulted in the following errors:
ORA-00959: tablespace 'A_TBLSPACE' does not exist
How should this be done?
Note: a lot of columns are of type CLOB. It looks like the problems have something to do with that.
Note2: The oracle versions are a mixture of 9.2, 10.1, and 10.1 XE. But I don't think it has to do with versions.
You've got a couple of issues here.
Firstly, the different versions of Oracle you're using is the reason for the table statistics error - I had the same issue when some of our Oracle 10g Databases got upgraded to Release 2, and some were still on Release 1 and I was swapping .DMP files between them.
The solution that worked for me was to use the same version of exp and imp tools to do the exporting and importing on the different Database instances. This was easiest to do by using the same PC (or Oracle Server) to issue all of the exporting and importing commands.
Secondly, I suspect you're getting the ORA-00959: tablespace 'A_TBLSPACE' does not exist because you're trying to import a .DMP file from a full-blown Oracle Database into the 10g Express Edition (XE) Database, which, by default, creates a single, predefined tablespace called USERS for you.
If that's the case, then you'll need to do the following..
With your .DMP file, create a SQL file containing the structure (Tables):
imp <xe_username>/<password>#XE file=<filename.dmp> indexfile=index.sql full=y
Open the indexfile (index.sql) in a text editor that can do find and replace over an entire file, and issue the following find and replace statements IN ORDER (ignore the single quotes.. '):
Find: 'REM<space>' Replace: <nothing>
Find: '"<source_tablespace>"' Replace: '"USERS"'
Find: '...' Replace: 'REM ...'
Find: 'CONNECT' Replace: 'REM CONNECT'
Save the indexfile, then run it against your Oracle Express Edition account (I find it's best to create a new, blank XE user account - or drop and recreate if I'm refreshing):
sqlplus <xe_username>/<password>#XE #index.sql
Finally run the same .DMP file you created the indexfile with against the same account to import the data, stored procedures, views etc:
imp <xe_username>/<password>#XE file=<filename.dmp> fromuser=<original_username> touser=<xe_username> ignore=y
You may get pages of Oracle errors when trying to create certain objects such as Database Jobs as Oracle will try to use the same Database Identifier, which will most likely fail as you're on a different Database.
If you're using Oracle 10g and datapump, you can use the REMAP_TABLESPACE clause. example:
REMAP_TABLESPACE=A_TBLSPACE:NEW_TABLESPACE_GOES_HERE
For me this work ok (Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0):
impdp B/B full=Y dumpfile=DUMP.dmp REMAP_TABLESPACE=OLD_TABLESPACE:USERS
But for new restore you need new tablespace
P.S. Maybe useful http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDataPump10g.php
What version of Oracle are you using? If its 10g or greater, you should look at using Data Pump instead of import/export anyway. I'm not 100% sure if it can handle this scenario, but I would expect it could.
Data Pump is the replacement for exp/imp for 10g and above. It works very similar to exp/imp, except its (supposedly, I don't use it since I'm stuck in 9i land) better.
Here is the Data Pump docs
The problem has to do with the CLOB columns. It seems that the imp tool cannot rewrite the create statement to use another tablespace.
Source: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:66890284723848
The solution is:
Create the schema by hand in the correct tablespace. If you do not have a script to create the schema, you can create it by using the indexfile= of the imp tool.
You do have to disable all constraints your self, the oracle imp tool will not disable them.
After that you can import the data with the following command:
imp b/*** file=oracledump.dmp log=import.log fromuser=a touser=b statistics=none ignore=y
Note: I still needed the statistics=none due to other errors.
extra info about the data pump
As of Oracle 10 the import/export is improved: the data pump tool ([http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDataPump10g.php][1])
Using this to re-import the data into a new tablespace:
First create a directory for the temporary dump:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY tempdump AS '/temp/tempdump/';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY tempdump TO a;
Export:
expdp a/* schemas=a directory=tempdump dumpfile=adump.dmp logfile=adump.log
Import:
impdp b/* directory=tempdump dumpfile=adump.dmp logfile=bdump.log REMAP_SCHEMA=a:b
Note: the dump files are stored and read from the server disk, not from the local (client) disk
my solution is to use GSAR utility to replace tablespace name in the DUMP file. When you do replce, make sure that the size of the dump file unchanged by adding spaces.
E.g.
gsar -f -s"TSDAT_OV101" -r"USERS " rm_schema.dump rm_schema.n.dump
gsar -f -s"TABLESPACE """USERS """ ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW CHUNK 8192 RETENTION" -r" " rm_schema.n1.dump rm_schema.n.dump
gsar -f -s"TABLESPACE """USERS """ LOGGING" -r" " rm_schema.n1.dump rm_schema.n.dump
gsar -f -s"TABLESPACE """USERS """ " -r" " rm_schema.n.dump rm_schema.n1.dump
I wanna improve for two users both in different tablespaces on different servers (databases)
1.
First create a directories for the temporary dump for both servers (databases):
server #1:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY tempdump AS '/temp/old_datapump/';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY tempdump TO old_user;
server #2:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY tempdump AS '/temp/new_datapump/';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY tempdump TO new_user;
2.
Export (server #1):
expdp tables=old_user.table directory=tempdump dumpfile=adump.dmp logfile=adump.log
3.
Import (server #2):
impdp directory=tempdump dumpfile=adump_table.dmp logfile=bdump_table.log
REMAP_TABLESPACE=old_tablespace:new_tablespace REMAP_SCHEMA=old_user:new_user
The answer is difficult, but doable:
Situation is: user A and tablespace X
import your dump file into a different database (this is only necessary if you need to keep a copy of the original one)
rename tablespace
alter tablespace X rename to Y
create a directory for the expdp command en grant rights
create a dump with expdp
remove the old user and old tablespace (Y)
create the new tablespace (Y)
create the new user (with a new name) - in this case B - and grant rights (also to the directory created with step 3)
import the dump with impdp
impdp B/B directory=DIR dumpfile=DUMPFILE.dmp logfile=LOGFILE.log REMAP_SCHEMA=A:B
and that's it...
Because I wanted to import (to Oracle 12.1|2) a dump that was exported from a local development database (18c xe), and I knew that all my target databases will have an accessible tablespace called DATABASE_TABLESPACE, I just created my schema/user to use a new tablespace of that name instead of the default USERS (to which I have no access on the target databases):
-- don't care about the details
CREATE TABLESPACE DATABASE_TABLESPACE
DATAFILE 'DATABASE_TABLESPACE.dat'
SIZE 10M
REUSE
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE 200M;
ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TABLESPACE DATABASE_TABLESPACE;
CREATE USER username
IDENTIFIED BY userpassword
CONTAINER=all;
GRANT create session TO username;
GRANT create table TO username;
GRANT create view TO username;
GRANT create any trigger TO username;
GRANT create any procedure TO username;
GRANT create sequence TO username;
GRANT create synonym TO username;
GRANT create synonym TO username;
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO username;
An exp created from this makes imp happy on my target.
---Create new tablespace:
CREATE TABLESPACE TABLESPACENAME DATAFILE
'D:\ORACL\ORADATA\XE\TABLESPACEFILENAME.DBF' SIZE 350M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 2500M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
LOGGING
PERMANENT
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE
BLOCKSIZE 8K
SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT MANUAL
FLASHBACK ON;
---and then import with below command
CREATE USER BVUSER IDENTIFIED BY VALUES 'bvuser' DEFAULT TABLESPACE TABLESPACENAME
-- where D:\ORACL is path of oracle installation
