Don't know the source tablespace to use in REMAP_TABLESPACE

Question

11.2.0.2/Solaris 10
We have an expdp dump of a development related schema. We had dropped the source DB. Now, we want to create a new schema in a new DB using this dump. We don't know the tablespaces used by the source schema as that DB doesn't exist now.
To find the tablespaces used by the source schema, I can go ahead and do impdp and go through the "tablespace does not exist" errors in the impdp log file (need to do some googling to create an awk script for this )
But is there any other way to determine the tablespaces used by the source schema when the source database no longer exists ? We don't have the expdp log file either (Currently searching for it )

Answer 1

I can think of 2 options for you.
1. run your import with sqlfile and then grep that file for the TABLESPACE keyword. This will give you all of the tablespaces that will be used during the import command.
2. run your import but with these:
keep_master=y master_only=y job_name=my_master_only
this will load just the master table and then you can query the master to find the tablespaces. If your dumpfile is large, this may be much
faster than sqlfile Once this import is complete, do a query like this:
SQL> connect schema_running_job/password
SQL> select unique object_tablespace from my_master_only where process_order > 0 and duplicate = 0;
SQL> select unique object_name from my_master_only where process_order > 0 and duplicate = 0 and object_type = 'TABLESPACE';
Hope this helps.
