Datapump table import, simple question

Hi,
As a junior dba, i am a little bit confused.
Suppose that a user wants me to import a table with datapump which he exported from another db with different schemas and tablespaces(He exported with expdp using tables=XX and i dont know the details..)...
If i only know the table name, should i ask these three questions 1)schema 2)tablespace 3)oracle version ?
From docs. i know remapping capabilities of impdp.. But are they mandatory when importing just a table?
thanks in advance

sqlfile=mysql.sql
Then you can edit that sql file to see what is in the dumpfile. It won't show data, but it will show all of the metadata (tables, tablespaces, etc). It is a .sql file that contains all of the create statements that would have been executed if you did not add sqlfile parameter.
From docs. i know remapping capabilities of impdp.. But are they mandatory when importing just a table?
thanks in advanceYou never have to remap anything, but if the dumpfile contains a table scott.emp, then it will import that table into scott.emp. If you want it to go into blake, then you need to remap_schema. If it is going into tablespace tbs1 and you want it in tbs2, then you need a remap_tablespace.
Suppose that an enduser wants me to export a spesific table using datapump ..
Should i give him also the name of the tablespace where exported table resides?It would be nice, but see above, you can get the tablespace name from the sqlfile command on import.
Hope this helps.

  • Simple Question - Data Import

    Hi,
    i have a simple question. Is it wise to change our actual import scenarios for input data from systems out of sap to XI?
    Today we have the scenario that data from outer systems will send per ftp to a special directory. After that a report will transform the data into a batchinput. The btci will send per rfbibl into the system. Now we have a huge number of such reports. Will it now be better to change to XI, which we use perhaps for MDM?
    Xi could take the file from ftp-srever maps the fields an will send per bapi to sap.
    Is it a quite simple scenario or is batchinput still the better way.

    Hi,
    If you have a scenario where you have different file formats , which needs to be converted and then send to different systems based on some conditions , then suggested is XI usage.
    However, also if you already have XI installed and running for the MDM system , then you can think of routing all messages through XI.  It may make sense to use one system for all routing and data conversion puposes.
    Hope this view helps.

  • A simple question...Constraints covering more than 1 table

    Hello you all,
    I got a simple question for a school project I have to do in Oracle. At least I think it will be simple for most people on this forum. But I can't figure it out. (Excuse me for the head title of the thread as well, but I don't know the exact term for this in english )
    I can figure out how to do constraints in one table, for example:
    'enddate > begindate'
    But I got the following situation that I got the 2 following tables:
    - Project
    - Projectphase
    I want to build in a constraint that prevents that the 'enddate' of the table 'Project' has an earlier date than the 'enddate' of the table 'Projectphase' because all projectphases have to be finished before a project can be finished.
    I've tried to do this with constructions like 'Pro.Project.Enddate' and 'Pph.Projectphase.Enddate' but that doesn't work out.
    So any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I think what you want is called a "business rule". It can be implemented by using triggers on the tables, not constraints.

  • Error while importing text file to Power Pivot via Table Import Wizard

    Hello there,
    I'm a rookie at handling Excel to be honest. I've been trying to import a .txt file to Excel (it contains around 14 million rows of information) but Excel won't let me since it can only handle around 1 million rows per sheet (too troublesome to do such thing
    14 times in 14 different sheets). Then I googled that Power Pivot let me handle around 100 million rows in a Pivot.
    I'm trying to import this .txt file to Power Pivot by doing the following:
    Home tab > From Text > File Path (insert .txt location here) > Finish
    After that it shows the Table Import Wizard retrieving the rows from the .txt file. Problem is... at the end of the import (once it hits row 14,000,000 or so) it shows an error. It states the following:
    "Memory error: Allocation failure : Not enough storage is available to process this command. .
    The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed."
    Please note that the size of the .txt file is 900 MB.
    Another thing is that, when I select the .txt file from its location at the File Path section, the "preview" field only shows 50 rows, not all of them. Is that okay to happen?
    Is it because the size of the .txt file is too big?
    Please let me know if you need more info in regards to this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi AdiUser,
    Only showing 50 rows for the preview is normal behaviour. Based on what you've described, it sounds like Power Pivot is running out of memory when you are loading this .txt file. Are you running the 32 bit or 64 bit version of Excel. Also, if you are running
    the 64 bit version how much RAM is available?
    If you're running the 32 bit version then the available RAM for Power Pivot is less than 1 GB even if the system has more than this installed. You can address this by installing the 64 bit version. If you're running the 64 bit version then it may be
    that you don't have enough RAM to accommodate this amount of data and you may consider upgrading the RAM. Alternatively, you could try and reduce the size of the table in memory by using the preview screen to remove any columns that are not of use. This
    is especially important if there are any column with a high number of unique values that aren't actually needed in the model. In addition to removing columns altogether, you could try filtering the data so that only a subset of the rows are imported.
    This can also be done from the preview screen.
    Regards,
    Michael Amadi

  • Need a simple answer for simple question???

    simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
    not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
    i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
    then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
    its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
    help

    The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
    The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

  • Datapump network import from 10g to 11g database is not progressing

    We have an 11.2.0.3 shell database in RedHat Linux 5 64-bit platform, and we are pulling data from its 10g database (10.2.0.4) HP-UX platform using datapump via NETWORK_LINK. However, the import seems to be not progressing and completing. We have left it run for almost 13 hours and did not even import a single row to the 11g database. We even try to import only one table with 0 rows but still it is not completing, the logfile just continue to be lopping on the following:
    Worker 1 Status:

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Thanks a lot for all who have looked and responded to this, I appreciate you giving time for suggestions. As a recap, datapump export and import via dumpfile works on both 10g and 11g databases, we are only having issue pulling data from the 10g database by executing datapump network import (using dblink) from the 11g database.
    SOLUTION: The culprit was the parameter optimizer_features_enable='8.1.7' that is currently set on the 10g database, we have taken that out of the parameter file of the 10g database and network import worked flawlessly.
    HOW DID WE FIGURE OUT: We turned on a trace to the datapump sessions and trace file shows something about optimizer (see below). So we have taken one by one any parameter that has something to do with optimizer and found out it was optimizer_features_enable='8.1.7' parameter that when removed makes the network import successful.

  • Simple question about flex and AS 3.0

    Hi, this might sound like a simple question so I apologize...
    I have both a copy of flex 2 and 3, and i want to simply code in AS
    3.0 not mxml. I referred to the help of both flex 2 and 3, and all
    i could come up with is "you can add dynamic behavior to your
    documents using actionscript", which means to me, you only write
    your functions in AS and create instances with mxml (...ugh).
    personally, i find mxml to be ugly (mainly because it looks like
    html to me), and i'd rather not use it. coming from programming in
    an IDE in Java, it seems like it would be nicer to have something
    similar, all the while having the power and cool features of flash.
    I'm not fully educated in this matter so i understand that i could
    be totally wrong.
    i mean, if i have to code in mxml, i will. i'm a web
    programmer for a living, and if a more experience programmer said
    something like "if you don't code mxml in flex, you'll never get a
    job coding in flex", i would trust the advice, and learn the ugly
    code. :)
    yes, i do have Flash cs3, it's great but it seems like a pain
    to me the way you organize classes.... i've only seen a few
    tutorials, ones that explain how you cannot simply import a custom
    class, you have tell your movie to link to it, put it in the same
    directory, or manually name the package, it's sort of confusing.
    my main point here is that i'm very eager to start building
    apps in straight AS 3.0 instead of using flash cs3 (for some
    projects), and it would be cool to get some help or be pointed in
    the right direction.
    to simplify:
    can i write AS 3.0 and only as 3.0 in flex 2 or 3? how? can
    you link me to a tutorial? any advise?
    thanks!

    Hey William, thanks for the post. It's a great coincidence
    because I'm reading that book as well. I'm about half way through
    it, and I love it. I installed mxmlc on my linux box and am writing
    pure AS 3 apps. I think that's the way to go, though I know it's
    not for everybody.
    My problem with mxml is that it has a weird syntax for
    function calls, and it's not as 'intuitive' for a person like me,
    who came from C++ and Java programming in the past. I like writing
    programs in the C++ and Java style syntax, and since so many other
    languages use a similar syntax, I don't see any reason to learn the
    nuances of mxml, unless I was getting paid to do it. As far as I
    can tell there is no benefit.
    I hate using Flash to write flash apps as well, I feel like
    they become messy and confusing, especially when trying to write an
    OOP application. I only use it if I want to move an object in a
    very specific way and can't do it with the Tween methods.

    why do not try with expdp/impdp remap_tablespace?
    REMAP_TABLESPACEDefault: none
    Purpose
    Remaps all objects selected for import with persistent data in the source tablespace to be created in the target tablespace.
    Syntax and Description
    REMAP_TABLESPACE=source_tablespace:target_tablespace
    Multiple REMAP_TABLESPACE parameters can be specified, but no two can have the same source tablespace. The target schema must have sufficient quota in the target tablespace.
    Note that use of the REMAP_TABLESPACE parameter is the only way to remap a tablespace in Data Pump Import. This is a simpler and cleaner method than the one provided in the original Import utility. In original Import, if you wanted to change the default tablespace for a user, you had to perform several steps, including exporting and dropping the user, creating the user in the new tablespace, and importing the user from the dump file. That method was subject to many restrictions (including the number of tablespace subclauses) which sometimes resulted in the failure of some DDL commands.
    By contrast, the Data Pump Import method of using the REMAP_TABLESPACE parameter works for all objects, including the user, and it works regardless of how many tablespace subclauses are in the DDL statement.
    Example
    The following is an example of using the REMAP_TABLESPACE parameter.
    impdp hr/hr REMAP_TABLESPACE='tbs_1':'tbs_6' DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 PARALLEL=2JOB_NAME=cf1n02 DUMPFILE=employees.dmp NOLOGFILE=Y

  • Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list

    Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list to fire a process?
    Thanks

    1) Using ApEx Selec list on Submit Item.
    You will create a PL/SQL Process after Submit. -> Conditional Type Request = Expression1. -> Expression1 is the name of your Select List. Process Source - > Procedure you like. For example depending of your select List value you will add rows in different tables.
    2) Javascript This example will change a System parameter value when changed
    <select id="P3_SUBSYSTEM" onchange="location.href='f?p=101:3:2164422329953284::NO::P3_SUBSYSTEM:'+this.options[selectedIndex].value;" size="1" name="p_t21">

  • Simple Question - attribute alternative text within the same Word doc

    ok. I am having a brain freeze and can't locate the answer in the OPA help. Simple question.
    Is there a simple way to alias an attribute for use in Word?
    For instance the following two conclusions create 2 attributes where I only want 1 attribute.
    the annual percentage rate = 6
    APR = the annual percentage rate
    Is there a configuration option or something to alias APR as the annual percentage rate for use in Word? I want to use either in the same Word document. Something in my head tells me I saw that once before, but all of a sudden I have a brain freeze.
    Sorry for such a simple question, but sometimes I get too deep in the weeds.

    Hi Paul,
    You may be thinking of the OPA legend style. In the Office 2007 OPM ribbon it's called Table Legend, but I believe it works with non-table rules in Word as well - it certainly used to.
    It's an OPA rule style which can be used when you want to refer to a shorthand version of an attribute, e.g. "APR" instead of "the annual percentage rate". I believe it only applies to the rule immediately below where it has been set in the doc, and not the entire doc.
    I did a quick search in the OPM Help and found references to the legend style, but I didn't find a description of the functionality (I didn't search too thoroughly though).
    Here basically how it works...
    Above the rule write the shorthand version, then the word "is", then the full attribute text, e.g.
    APR is the annual percentage rateSide note: I always bold the "is" in the legend line. This is not required, but I like to do it because it makes it clearer at a glance which part is the shorthand and which part is the full attribute text.
    Then apply the Table Legend style to the line, then put your Word table or regular rule below it, e.g.
    [legend]APR is the annual percentage rate
    the result = APR * 10 I use this functionality occasionally. Usually it's when I've got calculations in Word tables and I'm trying to make the left hand column more readable, e.g. using something "APR" in the formula so that it doesn't take up so much space.
    Cheers,
    Jasmine
