Export - import to a different tablespace ??

I have exported a schema from 8174 from production as the user itself.
exp user/user ........
I am trying to import it into development.
Only one table i am importing it from the dump.But this table structure is already existing in a tablespace different from production.....
say if t1 is in tbs1 -- Prrod.
t1 is in tbs2 -- dev.
so while import the data is going into this tbs2... and not tbs1 of dev.
The default tablespace of user is tbs1.
So how can i import it intot tbs2?
Please help me ...

Is t1 in development (the target database) already in the appropriate tablespace?
If not, correct that by doing:
alter table t1 move tablespace tablespace_where_t1_should_live;
Then do the import with "ignore=y".
That ought to take care of it.

  • Export / Import Mapping into Different Project in same repository

    Hi,
    Any one tell me, its this possible?
    We have one repository ( OWB 10 R2 ) and two projects named dev_project and test_project.
    We want to copy or (export /import) the mappings from dev_project to test_project, how to do this? It seems export and import can be done if the servers are different (also it is possible to recover from the back up to the same server and same project.)
    Thanks in advance
    -NB

    I don't use 10gr2, but with 9.2 it is possible to do this, but you need to modify the MDL file before importing it.
    ** Before doing this, I'd recommend you export everything from your design repository to be safe **
    Export the object(s) from DEV_PROJECT to an MDL file. Then open the MDL file in your favorite text editor and rename the project from DEV_PROJECT to TEST_PROJECT. Then import the MDL file back into the repository matching by name (NOT UOID).
    I'd recommend you not do this, however. Why do you need a seperate project for test and dev? Why not create another runtime repository connection in your project so that you can deploy to both the development and test environment from the same project?

  • IMPORT INTO A DIFFERENT TABLESPACE

    Hi All,
    When attempting to import a .dmp file into a user with different default tablespace errors IMP-00003 and ORA-00922 was raised, some objects were imported but the problem seems to arise when importing tables. Help will be greatly appreciated.

    Quote: apart from that you have to realize if the definition of your tables are poiting to a specific tablespace because if that is your case. You have to create that tablespace with quota for the new user and after move your tables from that tablespace.
    Not true, Import first attempts to create an object in it's specified tablespace. If it is unable to then it will create the object in the owners default tablespace.
    So buy changing a users default tablespace (with a quota) and removing the users quota from the old tablespace, you can actually change tablespaces on import.

  • Impdp import schema to different tablespace

    Hi,
    I have PRTDB1 schema in PRTDTS tablespace, I need encrypt this tablespace.
    and I have done this steps:
    1. I created new encrypted PRTDTS_ENC tablespace.
    2. I take export PRTDB1 schema. (expdp system/system schema=PRTDB1 directory=datapump dumpfile=data.dmp logfile=log1.log)

    Hello,
    ORA-14223: Deferred segment creation is not supported for this table
    Failing sql is:
    CREATE TABLE "PRTDB1"."DATRE_CONT" ("BRON" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE, "PCDID" NUMBER(9,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "OWNERSID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE, "VALUESTR" VARCHAR2(4000 CHAR), "VALNUM" NUMBER, "VALDATE" DATE, "VALXML" "XMLTYPE") SEGMENT CREATION DEFERRED PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING So it means that these Tables "need" a Segment but, they are created with the option SEGMENT CREATION DEFERRED.
    A workaround is to create a Segment for these Tables on the Source Database before exporting them. Then, at the Import you won't have the option SEGMENT CREATION DEFERRED. The following Note of MOS detail this Solution:
    - *Error Ora-14223 Deferred Segment Creation Is Not Supported For This Table During Datapump Import [ID 1293326.1]*
    The link below gives more informations about the DEFERRED SEGMENT CREATION:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/server.112/e10595/tables002.htm#CHDGJAGB
    With the DEFERRED SEGMENT CREATION feature, a Segment is created automatically at the first insert on the Table. So the Tables for which the error ORA-14223 occurs are empty.
    You may also create them separately by using a script generated by the SQLFILE parameter in which you change the option SEGMENT CREATION DEFERRED by SEGMENT CREATION IMMEDIATE.
    Hope this help.

  • How to export/import data with different nls_lang???

    hello

    i think that if i do export data and import it with new (charset and nls_lang) it will be success....but how can i do it??
    thank u
    regards

    Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
    for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
    1) create a sql*loader control file.
    it looks like as follows
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'sample.dat'
    BADFILE 'sample.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE emp
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    or for sample script of control file search google.
    2) at command prompt issue following
    $ sqlldr test/test
    enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
    debug any errors (if occured)

  • Import to different tablespace

    Hi all..
    I created dump file in one database with tablespace1 in Oracle 10g XE using expdp
    and
    now i want to import that dump file in another database with different tablespace2 name.
    What is the option for this...?
    Thanks in advance
    Pal

    Change the default tablespace of the user, under which the dump is to be imported, to a different tablespace.
    Once importing is done, you can restore the tablespace.

  • Export-import in 9.7

    Hello DB6 experts!
    I've made an export-import in a 9.7 database.
    The problem is that after this clean process, I can't use the statement:
    db2 alter tablespace tbs_name reduce MAX
    it gives me an error:
    SQL1763N  Invalid ALTER TABLESPACE statement for table space
    It's an error expected if the tablespace was created in a db version previous that 9.7.
    Although, sin I have made an export-import, I think that tablespace was created in 9.7 version.
    Do you know how can I get rid of this error?
    regards,
    Filipe Vasconcelos

    I was able to check the log sapinst_dev.log and there is the following statement:
    function createTablespaceCreateStatement <done>, return <create tablespace PR8#BTABD
      in nodegroup SAPNODEGRP_PR8 pagesize 16k  extentsize 2 prefetchsize automatic
      no file system caching
      dropped table recovery off;
    So these tablespaces were created in 9.7 during the import.
    thanks.

  • Export Import with different tablespaces

    Does anyone know if there is a way to export from one database (creating a dmp file) and then importing into another database with different tablespaces? I have tried this and get this error:
    ORA 959. It complained that the tablespace doesnt exist (which it doesnt). Is there a way I can change the export or import parameters to avoid this and just use the default tablespaces?
    I may well be missing the point here so please feel free to tell me I am being a fool.

    how can I import schema to a different tablespace?
    Thanks
    Raf

    I don't understand why you cannot import TOM's scheme
    to new instance, because you say that you' ve TOM
    tablespace in the database.
    Check size of it, may be you need to increase size or
    you can TOM tablespace set autoextended.
    Also, you can set MAX tablespace is default in new database and set TOM tablespace is readonly.
    Then import cannot create object in TOM tablespace
    and create this in MAX tablespace.

  • How to import partitioned tables in different tablespace

    Hi everyone,
    I try to import the partitioned tables in different tablespace.
    Consider the following situation:
    I have a dump file which is created by using "Export" utility. Some data are in partitioned tables, some of them are in non-partitioned tables. Also, all tables are located in "MYTBS" tablesapce. I try to import all data from this dump file to another database. I didn't get error messages when importing the data from non-partitioned tables. However, I got error message when importing the data from partitioned tables. The error message is: tablespace 'MYTBS' does not exist.
    I just want to how I can solve this problem other than create 'MYTBS' tablespace for my new database.

  • Export / import tablespace with all objects (datas, users, roles)

    Hi, i have a problem or question to the topic export / import tablespace.
    On the one hand, i have a database 10g (A) and on the other hand, a database 11g (B).
    On A there is a tablespace called PRO.
    Furthermore 3 Users:
    PRO_Main - contains the datas - Tablespace PRO
    PRO_Users1 with a role PRO_UROLE - Tablespace PRO
    PRO_Users2 with a role PRO_UROLE - Tablespace PRO
    Now, i want to transfer the whole tablespace PRO (included users PRO_MAIN, PRO_USER1, PRO_User2 and the role PRO_UROLE) from A to B.
    On B, I 've created the user PRO_Main and the tablespace PRO.
    On A , i execute following statement:
    expdp PRO_Main/XXX TABLESPACES=PRO DIRECTORY=backup_datapump DUMPFILE=TSpro.dmp LOGFILE=TSpro.log
    On B:
    impdp PRO_Main/XXX TABLESPACES=PRO DIRECTORY=backup_datapump DUMPFILE=TSpro.dmp LOGFILE=TSpro.log
    Result:
    The User PRO_Main was imported with all the datas.
    But i 'm missing PRO_USER1, PRO_User2 and the role PRO_UROLE...
    I assume, i 've used wrong parameters in my expd and / or impdp.
    It would be nice, if anybody can give me a hint.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Frank

    When you do a TABLESPACE mode export by specifying just the tablespaces, then all that gets exported are the tables and their dependent objects. The users, roles, and the tablespace definitions themselves don't get exported.
    When you do a SCHEMA mode export by specifying the schemas, you will get the schema definitions (if the schema running the export is privied) and all of the objects that the schema owns. The schema does not own roles or tablespace definitions.
    In your case, you want to move
    1. schemas - which you already created 1 on your target database
    2. roles
    3. everything in the tablespaces owned by multiple schemas.
    There is no 1 export/import command that will do this. This is how i would do this:
    1 - move the schema definitions
    a. you can either create these manually or
    b1. expdp schemas=<your list of schemas> include=user
    b2 impdp the results from b1.
    2. move the roles
    expdp full=y include=role ...
    remember, this will include all roles. If you want to limit what gets exported, then use:
    include=role:"in ('ROLE1', 'ROLE2', ETC.)
    impdo the roles just exported
    3. move the user information
    a. If you want to move all of the schema's objects like functions, packages, etc, then you need to use a schema mode
    export
    expdp user/password schemas=a,b,c ...
    b. If you want to move only the objects in those tablespaces, then use the tablespace export
    expdp user/password tablespaces=tbs1, tbs2, ...
    c. import the dumpfile generated in step 3
    impdp user/password ...
    Hope this helps.

  • Portal Export Import with DB on different OS

    Hi All,
    I have a quick question about exporting the OracleAS Portal Metadata Repository database. Our source DB is on a different OS to our target DB.
    We are going to apply the 10.1.2.3 patch and associated portal export/import patches to both nodes (from note 263995.1).
    Our understanding was that we would use the method described in Chapter 10 of the Portal 10.1.4 Admin Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_18/portal.1014/b19305/cg_imex.htm).
    However, according to metalink note#276620.1, because our source and target OS are different, we should use the database export/import methodology that is described in Chapter 11 of the Application Server 10.1.2 Admin Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_18/core.1012/b13995/prodtest.htm).
    Could anyone tell me which way is better, we would prefer to use the database export/import method, has anyone tried this and what are their experiences.
    Regards,
    Tim.

    Regards,
    Tim.As far as your referred Metalink note is concerned, it gives you three options to move your repository with if you are working with 10.1.4 Portal.
    It's a difference of can, should and must.
    - It only shows ability to use three options ( can );
    - on the whole, it does not give preferences for any method ( should );
    - nor does it put a requirement for any single option ( must ).
    ( the only requirement/prohibition is for the option 2 which is not supported ).
    we have used the first three methods given on the note (yes, we also tried 2; this note came later). 1 is what we use regularly for transports between environments; and 3 we use for environment staging (as given in chap 11 of pt. 3). both can be messy with a large repository (we do so for about ~400 GB) repository. but following that supportability guide (Metalink Note 333867.1), method 1 works too.
    hope that helps!

  • How can I import schema to a different tablespace in a new database?

    Hi,
    I want to transport a schema "abc", which is on 'USERS" tablespace in the old database, to a new database using Data Pump. But on the new server, I want it on a different tablespace, say "TEST". How can I do that? I tried the following but it does not work:
    1. Create a user "abc" on new database, assign "TEST" as its default tablespace;
    2. use impdp to import the dmp file;
    I found that on the new server, the imported tables are still on the "USERS" tablespace.
    Can anyone tell me how to do it? thanks a lot.

    Use the REMAP_TABLESPACE option:
    REMAP_TABLESPACE = source_tablespace:target_tablespace

  • Export then Import to a different Hyper-V server

    In http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/85dc7d36-491f-4b02-88ac-63c1ed0d94db I described a problem when exporting from a Hyper-V server and trying to import into a different Hyper-V server in a different domain. The import failed and the event log contained:
    Failed to import the virtual machine from import directory 'D:\HV\Test\Test4GB-3\'. Error: One or more arguments are invalid(0x80070057)Well I've now identified the source of the problem. In the .exp file is:

    We are not planning to fix this for Windows 2008 at the moment - as SCVMM work around the problem when they move virtual machines (they remove the scope section just like you have done here).  But here is a handy VBScript that you can run on a Hyper-V server that will go through and nuke all the scopes (do not use this if you are still using SCVMM) so you can export and import happily (note that you need to run this before exporting):
