Editing a datapump .dmp file question

I am running 10.2.0.4 rdbms on hpux platfrom and I am taking a data pump export with content=metadata_only. I want to then import this metadata into a new database install which will be running an 11.2.0.3 database.
I want to be able to change the default tablespaces for where the objects live in the export file and also change the initial extent size so that the empty objects will only take up a small amouth of space in the new database and also have all of the objects created in one tablespace in the new database.
Is is possible to edit the .dmp file and make these kind of global changes so that all objects can be created in the users tablespace and set the initial extent size as 10mb?
Thanks.

Is is possible to edit the .dmp file Not possible.
You could use DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL to a file then do global replace with any text editor.

Edit dmp file

Hi everyone
I need to restore a table with imp tool but the first dmpfile is lost. The table is in the third dmp file and is very important its restore. Can I to edit the dmp file for start in the third dmp file?
Thanks for your support
Beto!

Hello;
I'd make a copy of that .dmp now, make that two copies.
All I can tell you is in Unix I was able to very carefully edit a .dmp and make a tablespace change using vi.
The larger the file the harder this would be.
I'm thinking without the other file you are probably missing the headers you need.
Try it in a test database, you have nothing to lose. If you can restore to a non-production database, you can move it from there.

Importing a dmp file in Oracle 11g XE Datapump

I received dmp file that was made with datapump in 11g. I need to import it into my 11g XE but can't figure out how to do it

ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object.Take a look at the DBA_DIRECTORIES view with a SYSTEM login, to create the import log file the database user will need write permission to the directory, might have to use sysdba if the directory is owned by SYS user. Or just grant the privilege to the database user to create their own directory ...
$ sqlplus /nolog
connect system
... password
select * from dba_directories;
grant read, write on data_pump_dir to <username>;
-- or allow <username> to make a directory
grant create any directory to <username>;
conn <username>
... password
create directory dpdir as 'd:\<a valid folder path>';

How we restore the database dmp file in Oracle10g express edition

please provide me answers as soon as possible...my database is fresh and i want to restore the dmp file in my database, that dmp file is exported by oracle 10g database on other machine.

there is no impdb or expdb command. There is an imp (for import) and exp (for export).
I assume you want to replace the existing database with the one on your laptop.
A much better and more efficient way to do this would be to backup the database on your home machine and then restore it to your office database.
but before you do anything, backup the database you are copying/importing to (backup option is available on the windows menu or its a batch or shell script in the appropriate directory)

How can i import a dmp file.

Dmp file created using data pump

Hi All,
I have created dmp file using oracle datapump utility and identified that even after dropping dmp file physically from hard disk. I saw there is no storage release. Is there any specefic way to get spaces free from disk?

- there are physical files on the file system
- you delete these files
- file system does not show an increase in free space
Just how is this an Oracle issue, never mind a SQL and PL/SQL language issue?
Oracle physical (datapump) files are no different than Excel spreadsheet files, are no different than mp4 movie files, are no different from any other file...
If deleting a physical file from a file system does not release that allocated space and increase the file system's space, then you need to ask that question to file system. Not Oracle. Not SQL. Not PL/SQL.
What is the o/s and what is the file system? Then use that, and your issue, as criteria for a stfw exercise.
And yes, this is not an uncommon issue on Unix based file systems as an in-use file can be "deleted" - which means the file entry is removed from the file catalog, but the iondes, containing the file's contents, are only wiped (and space released) when the open file handles for that file are all closed.

You can use conventional export/import or datapump utility to back database a and b. And then zip or tar them together :).

What do you think, is this question related to SQL or PL/SQL?

The following should give you a head start:
Create the following file i.e. scott_export.sh
#!/bin/bash
MAILADR="[email protected]"
EXPDIR="/home/oracle/datapump"
EXPDIR4SQL="'$EXPDIR'"
DUMPFILE="export_`date +%N`.dmp"
LOGFILE="export_`date +%N`.log"
ORACLE_SID=test; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin; export PATH
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
mkdir -p $EXPIDR 2>/dev/null
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
set pages 0 feed off
create or replace directory datapump as $EXPDIR4SQL;
grant read, write on directory datapump to scott;
exit
EOF
expdp scott/tiger tables=EMP,DEPT \
transport_full_check=y \
directory=datapump dumpfile=$DUMPFILE logfile=$LOGFILE
gzip $EXPDIR/$DUMPFILE >> $EXPDIR/$LOGFILE
cat $EXPDIR/$LOGFILE | mailx -s "$LOGFILE" $MAILADR
# ENDGive execute privileges:
$ chmod 750 scott_export.sh
The above script should also work as a cron job.

EXPDP generates new dmp file and reports "file already exists" error

Hello everyone,
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I got some problems with datapump expdp 10.2.0.4. It would be appreciated if you could provide some advice. Thanks in advance.
I newly created a 10.2.0.4 database. The database can startup and be connected via Toad without problem. I can also use impdp to import some data to the new database. But when I'm trying to use expdp to export a schema from the database, I got the following errors:

Every time I run the expdp, it just creates the dmp file (expdp_scott_mfp1_12262011.dmp) specified in the parfile under the EXPORT directory and reports "file already exists " error.
Your advice is highly appreciated.

Creating DMP file

Hi All,
We are taking dmp file. Is there anyway to edit DMP file?.
If any Please Suggest.
Thanks,
Rajiv Birari.

Hi,
>>We are taking dmp file. Is there anyway to edit DMP file?.
It depends. Although it is not advisable by Oracle and millions DBAs around the world, in fact, using a hexadecimal editor like Editpad or others you are able to edit it. The question is: What are you trying to change in the DMP file?

Restore DMP file in Oracle 10G - URGENT!

hello, Oracle forum. I am a sql dba crossing over and need some help ASAP! Since I am new at 10G, I received some DMP files from a client and need to restore them ASAP!. Can you please provide EXACT steps on how to do this? I prefer to use the OEM gui, but need step-by-step. Await reply...Many thanks!

Hi..
There are few questions to be answered:--
1. What does that dump contain. Is it a table level or a schema level or a full database dump
2. If its a table level who is the owner of the table
3. If its a schema level , whats the schema name.
4. was the export taken with exp or expdp utility.
5. Is the database in which the export dump is to be imported have that schema or is that the data has to be imported to some other schema.
After all this information you can use imp or impdp utility it import the data in 10g database.
For imp [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023560]
for impdp [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_import.htm#g1025464]
