Imp exp commands

Hello!
I am a newbie in dataguard.
Til now the only backup procedure for the data was accomplished using the exp command on specific schemas.
Now we want to create a data guard environment but we want to continue using exp on the primary and imp on another server(not the standby).
Do the new configurations for data guard effect the exp procedure, I mean can we continue using exp on the primary as before without any problem?
Thanks in advance!

Uwe has made me think about more.
If you are asking will IMP/EXP still work then yes is the correct answer.
However since you state "only backup procedure" I went with the RMAN answer.
Also I assume you are speaking about the Primary database only.

ORA-12560 & imp\exp commands

When typing imp and supplying the login system along with my password I got the ORA-12560 error. After reading about the problem on the forums and the internet, I found that setting the sid with the command "set ORACLE_SID=" solved the issue. The problem is I would like not to have to do this every time I start Oracle after starting up my OS ( I have all the oracle services set to manual startup ). How can this be done ?
cheers

It seems you are on Windows. Set ORACLE_SID as environment variable (Control Panel ==> System ==> Advanced ==> Environment Variables). That works fine as long as you have only one database on your machine. You could also create a .bat file, which sets ORACLE_SID and starts service and database.

Imp and Exp Command

Hi,
Pls explain me the concept of Imp/Exp command and the parameters assocoiated with it?If u can tell me online practicals for Import/Export command?
Regards
sudhir

At 8:03, you "wanna learn" about tablespaces and datafiles.
At 8:11 you want the concept of Imp/Exp explained to you.
At 8:10 you "wanna learn" the concept of Roll Back Segmenst [sic]
And at 8:12 you "wanna learn" all about SQL*Loader
Not bad for nine minutes of complete thoughtlessness, I suppose.
If you "wanna learn" all about Oracle, download the software, install it, start playing with it, and come back with some serious questions that show a modicum of thought, effort, persistence and care. Paying some attention to the usual rules of grammar and spelling might be an idea, too.
You'll find installations documented at http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/695#installation, and then you can work your way through some concepts at http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/263 and then you can start doing some basic fiddling at http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/695#basics and once you've worked your way through that lot, you should be in a position to make sensible use of the stuff over at http://tahiti.oracle.com.
And after you've had a good read of the official Concepts book there, then you can come back here to ask specific questions and reasonably expect to get meaningful replies.

Imp Exp utility in ubuntu 10.4 with oracle instant client 10

Hi,
I have a problem with the imp/exp utility on Ubuntu 10.4.
I have installed the oracle instant client 10, and I have followed this thread
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/impexp.htm#CHDDBGDF]
So, I've set env variable in my .bashrc
ORACLE_HOME=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1
export ORACLE_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${PATH}
export PATH
SQLPATH=/home/lucia/Programmi/instantclient10_1:${SQLPATH}
export SQLPATH
Sqlplus works fine, but when I try to use the utility exp/imp
exp DB_USER/DB_PW@DB_SCHEMA owner=DB_USER buffer=300000 LOG=DB_USER.log FILE=DB_USER.dmp compress=n
I have the following error:
No command 'exp' found, did you mean:
Command 'xep' from package 'pvm-examples' (universe)
Command 'ex' from package 'vim' (main)
Command 'ex' from package 'nvi' (universe)

Any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

LuciaHello,
I had the same problem. It was related to the shell script interpreter being used: it is really a bash script asking to be interpreted as sh. For the impatient, the solution was to change the first line of the script orarun.sh to read as:
#!/bin/bash
Explanation:
1. The script runfixup.sh calls orarun.sh. The latter is the one that fails starting at line 845.
2. The script is really a bash script as can be seen from the if syntax used. For example at line 191 we see the double equall sign ==:
if [ "`echo $SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS | tr A-Z a-z`" == "true" ]
3. The bash man page says:
string1 == string2
string1 = string2
True if the strings are equal. = should be used with the test command for POSIX conformance.
string1 != string2
True if the strings are not equal.
(End of man page excerpt)
Notice in particular that for a bash script to be POSIX it should avoid the == and just use =
4. orarun.sh has on its first line #!/bin/sh. On my Ubuntu system, sh is a softlink to dash and the dash man page says:
s1 = s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are identical.
s1 != s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are not identical.
5. So this script script uses bash syntax but is interpreted by dash. It is possible that this worked fine for the Oracle developer if on their system sh was softlinked to bash (which is often the case). Apparently, one should then be very careful to not use idioms that are not POSIX compliant.
6. Another solution is to change the /bin/sh softlink from dash to bash. Personally, I was less comfortable doing this (the possible repercussions were wider than the proposed solution above).
After making the change, the script ran perfectly. I think the best solution is for Oracle to update the script to be POSIX compliant or to identify itself as bash.
Hope that helped,
Mark Gaber

Yes it's probably due to different char sets
A way around it it to change the DB setup on the new database to use CHAR as default for varchar2 rows, and then use datapump to do your import/export, because datapump uses the default varchar2 type when creating tables that includes varchar2 (which is normally byte). Exp/imp uses the varchar2 type that is in the original database

Imp/exp stdout language

Hi all,
I am interested in changing language in exp and/or imp log files? Oracle version is 10.2.0.4.0, OS version is Win 2k3R2.
I have Oracle DB installed on hungarian-language OS, and when issue an exp command, I get log file on hungarian language. I need stdout language for imp/exp utility to be on english. Can I do this?
As far as I know stdout language for sqlplus query for current session can be changed with alter session set nls_language=ENGLISH.
A little demonstration:
current logfile:
. . a következo tábla exportálása:                         A          3 sor exportálva
. . a következo tábla exportálása:                         B          2 sor exportálva
. . a következo tábla exportálása:                         C          0 sor exportálva
desired logfile:
. . exporting table                       A          3 rows exported
. . exporting table                       B          2 rows exported
. . exporting table                       C          0 rows exported
. . . . .Tnx in advance.

Prior to running exp or imp (and why still use exp and imp?)
set nls_lang=<Region>_<territory>.<characterset>
Don't know why but it seems it is 'Doc question day' again.

How to export datbase with exp command

Hi guys,
How to export oracle database using exp command without including tables space names.
I tried with this
./exp username/password file=db-export.dmp
./imp username/password file=db-export.dmp full=y ignore=y
But when I try to import database with separate login(username/password) its giving following error for some tables,
ORA-00959: tablespace 'MANUJA' does not exist
MANUJA is my username of first database
any help ?
Thanks
Best Regards,
Manuja

Option 1:
./imp username/password file=db-export.dmp full=y
If still error then :
Option 2:
pre-create your table then import with ignore=y option.
If still error then :
make sure userB just have one default tablespace (BC) and quota only on BC. So if you have unlimited quota for userB on all tablespaces, then objects will go to original tablespace and not the tablespace you want to put in(to default tablespace).
Revoke any unlimited tablespace privs from userB and just have one default tablespace.
REVOKE UNLIMITED TABLESPACE FROM USERB;
imp system/manager fromUser=userA toUser=userA file=myexport.dmp log=myexport.log

IMP/EXP on NT/Win2K

The imp and exp commands when executed from a command prompt on WinNT/Win2K seem to operate upon one particular database, however I have three databases on one machine. Can these commands be run from a prompt against a given database? I can't find an option for that.
Thanks
Jason.

Excellent - thanks.

Tr command in Linux

Hi All,
I searched internet for the usage of tr command, honestly it is very powerfull when process flat files,
take text replacement for example
cat file1.txt | tr "abc" "xyz"
the output will be that 'a' change to 'X', 'b' to 'Y', 'c' to 'Z'
but does it support function that can replace "abc" to "xyz", not change them individually?
Please advise which kind of option should I use for tr or any other command in Linux?
thanks
Henry

How about find and replace with SED, e.g.:
$ sed -i 's/orig_text/new_text/g' /home/oracle/test.txt
sed edits "-i" /home/oracle/test.txt in place and replaces "orig_text" with "new_text"
You can find many examples and tutorials about SED in google e.g.
http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/chap_05.html

Grep Command in Linux

Hi all,
I having problem getting the output of grep command in Linux (Red Hat 9.0).
At the same time, I am able to get the output of cat command.
Using the output of cat command, I am writing it to a text file and then in another process using grep I am extracting particular line from the text file.
To get the Process Output I am using a code from http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/1092#thread.
Below is my code.
public void getUSBInfo() {
       try{
              String catCommand = "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices";
              System.out.println("catCommand is : "+catCommand);
              Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(catCommand);
              usbInfoBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
              InputStream inStream = p.getInputStream();
              new InputStreamHandler( usbInfoBuffer, inStream );
                              // InputStreamHandler is the class used to read the console output.
              StringBuffer errBuffer = new StringBuffer();
              InputStream errStream = p.getErrorStream();
              new InputStreamHandler( errBuffer , errStream );
              p.waitFor();
              catCommandOutput = usbInfoBuffer.toString();
              System.out.println("USB Info : " +catCommandOutput);
              String fileCat ="/EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt";
              File catCommandOutputFile = new File(fileCat);
              boolean filesuccess = catCommandOutputFile.createNewFile();
              setContents(catCommandOutputFile,catCommandOutput);
              extractUSBInfo();
              }catch(Exception e) {
             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Exception occured executing Native Method..catCommand.."                                         ,epname,JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);                                    System.out.println("File Exception No 6" +e);
public void extractUSBInfo() {
     try {
          String filename = " /EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt";
          String grepCommand = "grep \"P:\\|S:\""+filename ;
           //String[] grepCommand = new String[]{"grep", "\"P:\\|S:\"", "/EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt"};
          Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(grepCommand);
          usbExtractedInfoBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
          InputStream inStream = p.getInputStream();
          new InputStreamHandler( usbExtractedInfoBuffer, inStream );
          StringBuffer errBuffer = new StringBuffer();
          InputStream errStream = p.getErrorStream();
          new InputStreamHandler( errBuffer , errStream );
          p.waitFor();
          String Output = usbExtractedInfoBuffer.toString();
          System.out.println("grepCommand is    : " +grepCommand);
          System.out.println("Searched USB Info : " +Output);
      }catch(Exception e) {
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Exception occured executing Native Method..grepCommand..."                               ,epname,JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);                                    System.out.println("File Exception No 7" +e);
      }I am not getting any IOException. The output of System.out.println("Searched USB Info : " +Output); is blank.
If I try shell> grep "P:\|S:" /EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt, I get the desired output.
What could be the reason ? While using cat command I am getting the output , but grep command is
returning blank. I even tried String array[] for exec() command, but still get blank.
Where and what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jay.

Hi asjf,
Thanks a lot... The problem is finally solved.
String exeCommand = "grep P:\\|S: "+filename; I removed the quotes and it worked. But if I
remove backslash for the pipe symbol nothing happens..as I get return value of 1.
Output after removing quotes :
exeCommand is : grep P:\|S: /EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt
Exit Value is : 0
USB Info : P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub
S: SerialNumber=ce84b000
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub
S: SerialNumber=ce849000But I have noticed another problem. If I execute the aplication number of times, eventhough
the exit value is 0, USB Info : is blank. This happens sometimes. Sometimes I get the correct output.
What could be the reason ?
Thanks to you and all who have replied to my queries....Thanks a lot.....Really appreciate the time and effort.
Regards,
Jay.

You should ask Oracle support for help. There's only one entry for this error stack (Bug 3361288 - Export of XMLSCHEMA may fail with ORA-24324 in UTF8), but it should have been fixed for your DB version and , as far as I can see, you don't have a Unicode database.

How to use a subquery in query parameter in exp command

I am trying to export certain rows of a table using exp command
exp TRA/simple@TRA consistent=y indexes=n constraints=n tables=TRA$EMPL query=\"where deptid in $select objectid from Person$\" file=/dbase/dump/archv.2009-10-2917:24:00.dmp
but im getting an error
LRM-00112: multiple values not allowed for parameter 'query'
EXP-00019: failed to process parameters, type 'EXP HELP=Y' for help

On what OS you are trying to do that ?
What oracle version ?
Did you try to use parameter file ?
Have in mind that when using parameter file , special characters don't need to be escaped.

Print command from linux PC on to Windows Environment

Hi Experts,
We have SAP on Windows and the network printer is also on Windows, the PC with Linux is integrated with network printer i.e when the print command from Linux is given the output is available from the printer (Windows). But when the print command is given through SAP there is no output from Printer (Windows).
When same user logs into Windows the printer command is successful.

hi hari,
Printing SAP documents using Linux client is a little bit tricky if you want to get good printing result just as when you print from your Windows client.
If you want to use G printing method (on Linux client), you can't use SAPWIN on device type since SAPWIN is relying printing method. You must use exact printer driver. For example when you're using Dot Matrix printer Epson LX300+, you can use EPESCP2
I am using different method to cheat this and it's completely work.
