How to ZIP Oracle Datapump export backup file

Hello All,
My customer is asking to give him the production data dump to the following path \\138.90.17.56\OMNISAFE.
I really don't understand his requirement and he also wants me to zip the export backup file. How do I do that, Do you know any unix command to zip backup files.
thanks and regards

Well Thanks for your reply.....my oracle version is 11.2.0.3.b and if we have the compression option can you please elaborate how to do that......
It's in the documentation. See Data Pump Export
let us say my expdp file is abc.dmp...should I give the command gzip abc.dmp or any different.
Let me google that for you
One more question what does teh customer mean by production data dump to the following path \\138.90.17.56\OMNISAFE. please explain
How do we know what the customer means? Why don't you ask him?
That said, it looks like a url to an ip address and a defined folder at that ip address. Again, if the customer wants you to send them a file, you need to be working with said customer on the mechanics of accessing their system.
All that said ....
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- *Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual*.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- *When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again*.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Getting Datapump Export Dump file to the local machine

I apologize to everyone as this is a duplicate post.
Re: Getting Datapump Export Dump file to the local machine
My initial thread(started yesterday)was in 'Database General' and didn't get much response today. Where do i post questions on EXPORT/IMPORT utilities?
Anyway, here is my problem:
I want to take the export dump of itemrep schema in orcl database (in a remote machine). I have an Oracle server (10G Rel2) running in my local Windows machine. I have created a user john with necessary EXPORT/IMPORT privileges in my local db. Then i created a Directory object,ie a folder named datapump in my local hard drive and granted READ WRITE privileges to john.
So john, who is a user in my local machine's oracle db is going to run the expdp utility.
expdp john/jhendrix@my_local_db_alias SCHEMAS=itemrep directory=datapump logfile=itemrepexp.log
The above command will fail because it will look for itemrep schema inside my local db, not the remote db where the itemprep is actually located. And you can't qualify the schemaname with its db in the SCHEMAS parameter (like SCHEMAS=itemrep@orcl).
Can anyone provide me a solution for this?

I think you can initiate the datapump exp utility from your client machine to export a schema in a remote database.But, Upon execution,oracle looks for the directory in the remote database and not on your local machine.
You're inovoking expdp from a client (local DB) to export data from a remote DB.
So, With this method, you can create the dumpfiles only on the Remote server and not on the local Machine.
You can perform a direct import instead of export using the NETWORK_LINK option.
Create a DBlink from your local and Remote DB and verify the connection.
Then,Initiate the Impdp from Your local machine DB using the parameter network_link=<db_link of the Remote DB> to import the schema.
The advantage of this option eliminates the Dumpfile creation at the Server side.
There are no dumpfiles during the import process. the Data is imported directly to the target schema.

Is it possible to import an Oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into Oracle 9 db ?

hi Oracle Guru's
Is it possible to import a oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into an oracle 9 database ?
I tried & got the following error ...
IMP-00010 not a valid export file, header failed verificationperhaps their is a work-around ?
thanks

Hi
You can take export from a previous version and import to a later version. Having said that, there is still a workaround to do what you want.
On 9i server add a connect string for your 10g instance. Then use 9i export utility to export 10g data. That way your export will be compatible with 9i. You can then import the data in your 9i instance.
To create connect string you can either use Net Configuration Assistant or manually edit TNSNAMES.ORA file in your 9i server.
Hope it helps.

How to turn off eps saving backup file as filename -01.eps?

Hi all,
I'm not at sure how I came about this/which box was ticked in saving options but whenever I save eps files, Illustrator will also save another backup file with '-01' after the filename and before the extension '.eps'. Also, whenever I save the document (as opposed to 'save as') a dialogue box will appear asking me if I want to replace the already existing file. Obviously I do.
My question is: How do I turn this option off?
NOTE: as far as I know, this problem of mine is only limited to .eps files, or more precisely it doesn't seem to happen when saving .ai files.
Thanks.

Thanks Larry!
I can't see the relevance in "Use Artboards" and saving a back up but I'll take it.

How can I copy the iPhone backup files to another iTunes Library?

I'm changing to my Window laptop from a PC. I want to copy my iPhone backup to the Library in the laptop. How can I find those backup files? I don't want to lose my apps and everything, you know.

This article will tell you where your iPhone backup is stored on your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 iTunes content is NOT part of the iPhone backup. You can either copy your iTunes library to your new computer, or you can re-download your purchased iTunes content(except ringtones) to your new computer; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527

Before I reinstalled my Windows 7 I made a backup of a number of items. Now I don't know how I can import the cookes backup-file cookies.sqlite.

I had to re-install my computer (windows 7). I made a lot of backup-files. After the new installation of Windows 7 I am now putting back all those files. I just did it successfully with my bookmarks. My next step would be my cookies for Firefox, but I cannot find the right way to import the backup file cookies.sqlite into Firefox.
Could you tell me how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

How can I find the iphone backup files

I recently moved my iTunes files to an external hard drive and wiped my PC. In the meantime I had to replace my iPhone. Now I don't know how to restore all the apps, pics, etc to my new iPhone! Help!

The location of the backup file is :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
So it isn't in the iTunes directory, so you may not have copied it - if you did then copy it back to the same location on your computer.
If you copied the iTunes directory then you should have copies of your apps (though not their content) in a folder called Mobile Applications, if not then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

How to delete songs from itunes backup file

There is nothing to delete, as no iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup.

How do I make a new backup file of my current library?

I just finished locating all my music in my C drive (manually & individually!) since 7.7 wiped out my library and I would like to make a completely new backup file location of this library so that all my music is in one location (just in case, for next time). For some reason my music was in like 3 different iTunes music files and it was quite a nightmare switching back and forth.
Is there an easy way to do this? And can I set up iTunes to now automatically backup new music to this new location?
Thanks

Nothing automatic within iTunes.
I use a backup program to copy entire itunes folder to another drive. No compression, archiving, or renaming; just a straight copy. Granted, this uses up twice as much space but I feel safer than about being able to get accidentally deleted files back.

How can i turn off encrypted backup file if i do have the passowrd?

How can i get rid of Backup Files?

Hi,
whe using "Write To Measurement File" and "Read From Measurement File" i read and save to the same file (i.e. "example.lmv"). When i run the program and the signal is saved in this file, the information is saved in the file but at the same time it creates a "backup" file; I noticed that this is caused when i use "Read From measurement file". Is there any way that i can run the program, without creating this backup files? I run the program many times a day and i dont want to fill my computer with these files every time i run it.
Thank you for your help,
Guillermo
P.S: I attached an example VI and the file where the signal is saved.
Solved!

Thanks for your help again. The VI that i sent you was a mere example of the true program that I am working on. This program controls a motor and rotates it counter clockwise and clockwise. I can only rotate the motor a maximum of 360 degrees so i set up the program to give me an error whenever I rotate the motor 0 degrees or less and 360 degrees or greater. To do this, I write the mount of degrees desired on a file ("Write to Measurement File") and the next time i rotate the motor I use the "Read from Measurement File" to read the previous amount of degrees that i wrote and adds it to the new one and saves it again on the same file. When this number of degrees reaches 360 degrees, it gives me the a message that i have to change the direction of the motor. The issue that i want to fix is that every time i write to the file it also creates a backup file and i want to get rid of it so i dont have a new file created every time i run the program. I noticed that whenever i use a program that just writes on a file using "Write to Measurement FIle" it writes on that file, only, and does not create a backup file. Whenever i use "Read to measuremnet file" to then write the signal in "Write to Measurement File" the backup file is created; so i came to the conclusion that is the "Read to Measurement File" that is creating this backup. Is there any other way to call a file without creating this backup file?
Here i will add the three VI's so you can see what i mean. I will add the full program, and the two examples that i explained above.
Thank you,
Guillermo Naranjo.

How can I read my iPhone backup files?

I would like to have a readable version of my text message backup files. I have found the file but I can't read it in its current database format. Please help!

Why not read them on your phone? Or if the screen's too small for that to be comfortable, email them to yourself and read them on the Mac.

I have no 'imports and exports' option after opening 'show all bookmarks'. How do I import from a backup file?

How to enhance Oracle Datapump Performance (AIX, Oracle 11.1.0.7.0)

For some testing pupose we have to do import a 230GB dump file. This is very time consuming while import.
1. How can I identify the MAX parallesim supported by Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 AIX.? Is it depend upon the no of processor on server.? How can i find that?
2. Will it helpful if the expdp dump from source(production) will taken as compress=y .?
3. Is it advisible to exclude the indexes while impdp import and will create it manually after import. Will it improve the performance and time can be saveed?
(INCLUDE=TABLE_DATA)
Regards,
Sangram Keshari Dash

Hi,
we do a 100GB export and import both in around 15 minutes on AIX 5.3 and Oracle 10.2. We do the export parallel to 4 dump files. Oracle takes the tables in sequence as you give them to the export. We have in this dump 2 big tables, we put them first and then the rest. We see that there are 2 export running on the 2 big tables, and the rest is taken by the other 2. This gives a good balance for export. The import goes the same. We make full exports and imports, so including indexes (also some text indexes). This proces is not CPU bounded (there are 4 CPU), but mostly on I/O (we have a big SAN) or memory.
The best is to give the most memory to Oracle, make the Caching of AIX OS to a minimum, but these are also the best practices to run a database on AIX.
You have to make some test with the parameters of expdp to get the best result, or test export without indexes and with indexes. We also had to do it this way.
