Database Restore Using Export Dump File

I have searched a lot of books and web sites, but cannot find the exact procedure as to how to restore full oracle database using the export dump file and the import utility.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Paltform: W2K AD Svr, Oracle 9.2.0.6.
Please advice

Hi, I was able to create the db using dbca, and then import.
When I first imported, I got messages all over that user or objects did not exist. So I commented the line which would invoke the CreateDBCatalog.sql script.
And now I get this,
C:\>imp '/ as sysdba' file=z:\export\tuethusat\dbname_full_export.dmp full=y
Import: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Oct 24 15:30:03 2006

IMP-00003: ORACLE error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
IMP-00023: Import views not installed, please notify your DBA
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully

Any suggestions?

Using exp dump file, how to know schema/tablespace/database/table....

Hi
I have export dump file. I don't have any information other then that about the dumpfile.
1. How do I know what version of exp was used(or database version)?
2. what does the exp contain, whether it is table/schema/tablespace/database level export?
3. Is it possible that I can used impdp command to export a file which was exported using "exp" command?

1. Sorry for my ignorance but in first case how do I know if i have to use "imp or impdp".
As discussed in the above mentioned thread strings might reveal something but not sure. Otherwise you can always confirm by trying to run it.
And assuming that if I imported the dump(using trial and error rule), how do I know what level of export was the dump file created... ie
how do I know the present object(object imported in target) was belonging to which tablespace and schema in source database(question 2 of "Sidhu")?
When you will import it back in a new database, everything will be same as the original database. All objects will belong to their respective tablespaces,schemas blah blah...(where they were in the original database).

But for backup recovery operation you should be use rman(recover manager),and through enterprise manager you can schedule backup job.

Where is my EXPORT dump file ? How to do BRTools off line table reorgan ?

Hello,
Here was my BRTools Export output message :
About to export specified tables via Direct Path ...
Current user changed to SAPPRD
. . exporting table CDHDR 60357362 rows exported
Export terminated successfully without warnings.
BR0280I BRSPACE time stamp: 2011-08-09 16.53.04

BR0670I Enter 'c[ont]' to continue, 'b[ack]' to go back, 's[top]' to abort:
But where is my Export dump file ?
Besides, could you tell me the procedures of using BRTools Export & Import to do off-line table reorgan ?
Due to some reasons, I can't do online table reorgan.

Hi Ming,
I noted the OSS note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE in my previous message, already. You don't need any additional effort such as creating script, if you use brspace as I noted in my last message.
Stop the SAP system, but not database then execute the command, below;
1) brspace -u / -f tbreorg -t "CDHDR"
2) At the incoming menu steps, select --> (8 - Table reorganization mode (mode)) .. offline
3) Then continue with "c"
At the end of this steps, table and related indexes will be reorganized.
You can update statistics by using the command, below after you complete the steps, above respectfully;
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t all -f collect -p 4
Best regards,
Orkun Gedik

Getting Datapump Export Dump file to the local machine

I apologize to everyone as this is a duplicate post.
Re: Getting Datapump Export Dump file to the local machine
My initial thread(started yesterday)was in 'Database General' and didn't get much response today. Where do i post questions on EXPORT/IMPORT utilities?
Anyway, here is my problem:
I want to take the export dump of itemrep schema in orcl database (in a remote machine). I have an Oracle server (10G Rel2) running in my local Windows machine. I have created a user john with necessary EXPORT/IMPORT privileges in my local db. Then i created a Directory object,ie a folder named datapump in my local hard drive and granted READ WRITE privileges to john.
So john, who is a user in my local machine's oracle db is going to run the expdp utility.
expdp john/jhendrix@my_local_db_alias SCHEMAS=itemrep directory=datapump logfile=itemrepexp.log
The above command will fail because it will look for itemrep schema inside my local db, not the remote db where the itemprep is actually located. And you can't qualify the schemaname with its db in the SCHEMAS parameter (like SCHEMAS=itemrep@orcl).
Can anyone provide me a solution for this?

I think you can initiate the datapump exp utility from your client machine to export a schema in a remote database.But, Upon execution,oracle looks for the directory in the remote database and not on your local machine.
You're inovoking expdp from a client (local DB) to export data from a remote DB.
So, With this method, you can create the dumpfiles only on the Remote server and not on the local Machine.
You can perform a direct import instead of export using the NETWORK_LINK option.
Create a DBlink from your local and Remote DB and verify the connection.
Then,Initiate the Impdp from Your local machine DB using the parameter network_link=<db_link of the Remote DB> to import the schema.
The advantage of this option eliminates the Dumpfile creation at the Server side.
There are no dumpfiles during the import process. the Data is imported directly to the target schema.

Export dump file of 8.x unable to Import in 9i

Hi,
I have Oracle 8.x version export dump file.
When i try to import this file in Oracle 9i db, it fails everytime. I have tried with all possible options in import utility. When i start import it shows as a active jobs in the jobs list but after few seconds it disappears from active tab and goes to failed list. It doesnot even gives the reason for failure. No error messages also. I don't know what shoud i do as i want to upgrade my 8.x data to 9i. I have currently only 9i installed on windows 2000 Server.
Please reply to my query as sson as possible.
Thanks

i beleive, u are using OEM or any other tool to do the export and import.
FIRST make sure, u have configured OEM properly to handle the batch jobs.
easiest way is to use the command line utilities.
use exp of lower version to export the source database.
create similiar users and tablespaces ( tablespace names is not a must) in target database.
use the same lower version of imp to import into target database.

IMPORT a VIEW from an export dump file

Export dump file and log file name as sysdate in script

Hi to All,
Can anybody help me to give logical backup export dump file namd log file name is as contain sysdate in its name so that we can Uniquelly identified it.
Regards
DXB_DBA

On windows it gets a bit hairy as there really is no clean and nice way of doing it.There are a couple of options.
1. If you can rely on dateformat not changing, you can use a static substring expression. For example, the following might work w/ finnish locale echo %date:~3,2%%date:~6,2%%date:~9,4%Similarly, when you know the dateformat you can tokenize the output of 'date /t' and discard the tokens you don't want.
2. You can set dateformat to your liking and then just use %date% in your script
3. You can run a "SELECT to_char(sysdate,..." into a file and then read that file in your script.
4. Simon Sheppard also has a solution you could use as a basis. I have a slight issue with the approach, but that could just be me.
5. Use gnuwin32 or similar ;)
Also note that %date% env var is set automatically from w2k onwards, so some of the solutions might not work w/ older versions.

How-to Generate Script from the export dump file

Hi all,
Software : Oracle 10gR2/Windows 2003
=============================
Has anyone generated a Script from a export dump file ( exported via data pump export). I know it is possible to generate script from the regular export.
I want to know how to generate the script for various objects or is it possible to get the counts of types of objects in the dump file and / or generate the script from the export dump file exported via data pump utility on Oracle 10g.
Thanks,
SS

I want to know how to generate the script for various objects.what do you mean by scripts? Assuming the metadata definitions of various objects.
First of all, you can generate the metadata definitions using import.
Use, Impdp with SQLFILE parameter to generate the SQL file for the metadata definitions.

How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

The remote_password_file is the parameter that determines if you can use or not a password file. The values this parameter can have are NONE, SHARED, EXCLUSIVE. It is pretty obvious, if it is set to either SHARED or EXCLUSIVE the oracle instance has enabled the access through a password file for the SYSDBA and SYSOPER roles.

How to restore a mysql dump file to database using java

hai friends,
i'm developing an application. in that i need to back up and restore the database. i'm using mysql.
in that i used a code to back up the db.. its working perfectly and the dump file is created perfectly..
but while trying to restore the dump file nothing is happening...
can anyone provide me a sample code to restore the dump to database using java code...
thanks in advance...

The first, biggest mistake you made in the code is that you didn't read standard output and error from the process, and/or you're ignoring exceptions. Because if you did, you would have read error messages that would have given you a clue what's wrong. (either that, or you ignored the clues, or didn't understand them and failed to tell us what the error messages are)
The second mistake is that you invoked exec with the call that takes a single string, when that string includes whitespace not used as delimiters.
The third mistake was that you used a terrible subject line for your post. Your problem is that you're having trouble with Runtime.exec. The fact that it's about mysql isn't relevent.
The fourth mistake is that you didn't mention Runtime.exec at all until pushed. You should provide these details. When you try to self-diagnose something that you don't understand, and then hide information, you're just wasting everybody's time, including your won.
The fifth mistake is that you're using poor spelling.
The sixth mistake is that you still haven't said why you're doing this in Java.
