Dbms_datapump/ import job/ mode=table /11g

Question

Hi
I'm working with dbms_datapump API.
Situation:
I need to import a dump in a schema, but only 4/2000 tables must have the data imported. I did not find a way to make this in only with one import command, so i make it by 2 consecutive imports.
First import with the data_filter INCLUDE_ROWS at 0: it works well with 10g and 11g
The second import tries to only import the content of the 4 tables: it works well on 10g, but fails on 11g.
Code:
DECLARE
lv_jobHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN
lv_jobHandle := dbms_datapump.open(operation => 'IMPORT'
,job_mode => 'TABLE'
,remote_link => NULL
,job_name => 'TESTIMP_EMPTY');
dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => lv_jobHandle
,filename => 'mydump_%U.dp'
,directory => 'MYDIR_DP');
dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => lv_jobHandle
,filename => 'TESTIMP_EMPTY_'||to_char(SYSTIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')||'.log'
,directory => 'MYDIR_LOG'
,filetype => dbms_datapump.ku$_file_type_log_file);
dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => lv_jobHandle
,name => 'TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION'
,value => 'APPEND');
dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(handle => lv_jobHandle
*,name => 'NAME_LIST'*
*,value => '''TMP_EVENT_TRIGGERS'',''SPLDBBUILDHIERARCHY'',''SPLDBBUILDLOG'',''SPLMIGRATIONLOG''');*
dbms_datapump.metadata_remap(handle => lv_jobHandle
,name => 'REMAP_SCHEMA'
,old_value => 'SEB_DEV800SP3'
,value => 'TSTIMPORTEMPTY');
dbms_datapump.metadata_remap(handle => lv_jobHandle
,name => 'REMAP_TABLESPACE'
,old_value => 'SRC_DATA'
,value => 'DEST_DATA'
,object_type => NULL);
dbms_datapump.start_job(lv_jobHandle);
dbms_datapump.detach(handle => lv_jobHandle);
END;
*11g Error:*
[oracle@qcdvcn1004 dbadev]$ cat TESTIMP_EMPTY_20110427153505.log
Master table "DBADEV"."TESTIMP_EMPTY" successfully loaded/unloaded
ORA-31655: no data or metadata objects selected for job
Starting "DBADEV"."TESTIMP_EMPTY":
Job "DBADEV"."TESTIMP_EMPTY" successfully completed at 15:35:11
Someone has an idea ?
Thanks!

Hello,
I need to import a dump in a schema, but only 4/2000 tables must have the data imported. I did not find a way to make this in only with one import command, so i make it by 2 consecutive imports.There's a nice trick so as to do that in just *1 Export/Import* by using the QUERY parameter.
Please scroll down on this link and read the solution given by Dean Gagne:
Export with all objects and only some table data
But, this is true, it's not expressed by using API.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
