I need help using the impdb utility on a different machine to the export...

Hi all,
I have recieved an export from a ClearQuest database, built on Oracle.
It's a 6GB file xxx_full_dpdump.dmp, with a corresponding .log.
This was exported from a different Oracle instance on a different machine.
I'd like to import this dump file into my Oracle instance.
I tried to use imp, and received the following error: IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header
After a bit of reading, I think this may becase I should be using impdp.
BUT... when trying to use impdp, I'm not sure how to structure the syntax? specifically, what is DIRECTORY?
As this is export is from a different machine, the directory that it was exported to is not on my machine.
When running ...
impdp username/password directory=MyDirectoryThatContainsTheDmp DUMPFILE=xxx_full_dpdump.dmp
... I receive:
ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-3970: Unable to open the log file
ORA-3907: directory name MyDirectoryThatContainsTheDpm is invalid

Thanks, I'm using Windows XP SP3 and Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0)
So I've now granted the right permissions, it seems and The Impdp now executes (Hoorar!)
The command I'm running is:
impdp username/password directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=xxx_full_dpdump.dmp REMAP_SCHEMA=MYUSER:Test;
... where MYSUER is who I'm logged in as running this command; and Test is just a word, I haven't created anything called this myself.
BUT ... I get a few thousand errors around
- Cannot add file ... file has an Oracle Managed Files file name
- CREATE USer ..... failed tablespace XXX does not exist
- lots of "already exists" errors for users and tables.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I though these would all be created as new items under MYUSER.
Thanks so much!

  • Need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database

    Hi. I need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database. Essentially I want to issue a one-time call to an Oracle Stored Procedure - this procedure will then send an email. I've never used dbms_scheduler before, but here's what I have so far.
    So my Program is a stored database procedure named 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify', but my problem is that I need to pass 3 parameter values to this job each time I run it. This is what I can't figure out. The procedure expects an 'Id' as number(5), begin_dt as a date, and end_dt as a date.
    How do I pass these values when I run my job? Can anyone help?
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_program(program_name=> 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         program_type=> 'STORED_PROCEDURE',
         program_action=> 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify',
         number_of_arguments => 3,
         enabled=>true,
         comments=> 'Procedure to notify PCM of a Dropper Vacation Conflict. Pass in Dropper Id, Begin_dt, and End_dt');
    end;
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
        (schedule_name=> 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
         start_date=> trunc(sysdate)+18/24,
         repeat_interval => 'freq=MINUTELY;interval=5',
         end_date => null
         comments=> 'Runtime: Every day all 5 minutes, forever'
    end;
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_job
        (job_name => 'JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         program_name => 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         schedule_name => 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
         enabled => true,
         auto_drop => true,
         comments => 'Job to notify PCM of Dropper Vacation Conflicts'
    end;
    /And I use this to execute the job as needed...
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.run_job('JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',true);
    end;
    /

  • I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    Go up to the top of your screen on iTunes and click on 'Store'.  Then go down to 'Authorize This Computer'.  That should cover part of it unless you've already authorized a bunch of other computers to use your account.  If that's the case, you'll have to go to one of those computers and click the button just below it to 'deauthorize your account' from that computer.  If you're not able to access the store, check your internet connection to make sure you are connected.  Hope this helps.. good luck!     

  • I need help with event structure. I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index can vary from 0 to 7. Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment ?

    I need help with event structure.
    I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index number can vary from 0 to 7.
    Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment
    or decrement every time the output of comparsion changes(event change). I guess I need to use event structure?
    (My event code doesn't execute when there is an  event at its input /comparator changes its boolean state.
    Anyone coded on similar lines? Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    You don't need an Event Structure, a simple State Machine would be more appropriate.
    There are many examples of State Machines within this forum.

  • Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

    Hi There,

    Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?

    Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
    When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
    1     sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
    The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
    If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
    1     sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
    Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
    If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

  • I need helping using iAds in my application.

    I need helping using iAds in my application. I currently am not using any storyboards. I am using Sprite builder for my UI.
    I attatched an image ot show all the different file name I have.
    Everyone is being used & they all work fully.
    The "iAdViewController.h & .m" files are just example codes I looked up and was messing with so that my iAd can work.

    I wouldn't even be able to use the Mathscript node in an executable? 
    What I am trying to do is make a user configurable data stream. 
    They tell me how many bytes are in the stream and what parameters they
    want to be put in to it.  Currently I have to make vi's that are
    called dynamicaly to make the parameters.   Then recompile
    the code and send it to them.  This is somewhat of how the config
    file is set up so I know how to make the data.
    Data_Type  foo
    Bytes 30
    parameter_name        
    function           
       byte#          format
    sync              
    foo_sync            
    29               int
    time                              
    foo_time             
    1,2,3,4       double
    If I can't use MathScript to allow the user to make there own functions
    is there another way that I might be able to do this so I do not have
    to recompile the code atleast?  Were I might just be able to make
    the new function and send that to them.
    Any Idea would be great.

    I also want to put a question on the forum and display the source code of my classe in a pretty way as you did : with colors, indentation, ... But how ? In html, I assume. How did you generate the html code of your three classes ? By help of your IDE ? NetBeans ? References ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
    Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
    If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.
