Is it export ORACLE_SID=+ASM or export ORACLE_SID=+asm

While starting up a database in ASM should i use
$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM --(ASM in upper case)
or
$ export ORACLE_SID=+asm -- (ASM in lower case)

It should be ASM and if you are using RAC then it should be ASM1 or +ASM2

Export ORACLE_SID not working correctly

I have an 11g database on red hat linux and when I initially log into the machine as the Oracle user and do and export ORACLE_SID when I do a sqlplus / as sysdba it doesnt pick up the the database I specified(in this situation lumtest). If I do an . oraenv though it picks up the correct database. I cant seem to see what is missing as I have provided a dump of the user environment before and after I do the . oraenv.
I thought . oraenv set the base home and path so I'm not sure what else I should look for.

look at the value of ORACLE_HOME before and after you execute oraenv. ORACLE_HOME should not end with a slash.
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

Is it necessary that before import and export we set ORACLE_SID?

Is it necessary that before import and export we set ORACLE_SID?

if you set the variable you can do it so :
ORACLE_SID=db1
export ORACLE_SID

if you do not set the variable you can do it so :

ORACLE_SID and ASM

Oracle Database Administrator's Reference
10g Release 2 (10.2) for UNIX-Based Operating Systems
Part Number B15658-05
ORACLE_SID
Function
Specifies the Oracle system identifier.
Syntax
A string of numbers and letters that must begin with a letter. Oracle recommends a
maximum of 8 characters for system identifiers. For more information about this
environment variable, refer to Oracle Database Installation Guide.
Example
SAL1
It should be mentioned that the ORACLE_SID can start with a plus when using automatic storage management
Example
+ASM1
Note that in the installation guide (ex: Oracle Database Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux x86-64 Part Number B15667-01), there is an example of a SID of 12 characters with a plus (+) in the middle
$ ORACLE_SID=OraDB10g+ASM
$ export ORACLE_SID
When the guide above recommends to have no more than 8 characters.
Kind regards
Laurent

PS: I have thousands of databases and I want to give some rules. For example, I do not like underscores in SIDs. I think the 8 characters limitation is also good

ASM for export

I could create exp dump on an asm disk.
1. How do I transfer the files to and from ASM to file system and vise versa?
2. How to compress the dumpfile using gzip or any other way?
Thanks.

Ok, Found the following from the Utilities doc:
Using Directory Objects When Automatic Storage Management Is Enabled
If you use Data Pump Export or Import with Automatic Storage Management (ASM) enabled, you must define the directory object used for the dump file so that the ASM disk-group name is used (instead of an operating system directory path). A separate directory object, which points to an operating system directory path, should be used for the log file. For example, you would create a directory object for the ASM dump file as follows:
SQL> CREATE or REPLACE DIRECTORY dpump_dir as '+DATAFILES/';
Then you would create a separate directory object for the log file:
SQL> CREATE or REPLACE DIRECTORY dpump_log as '/homedir/user1/';
To enable user hr to have access to these directory objects, you would assign the necessary privileges, for example:
SQL> GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY dpump_dir TO hr;
SQL> GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY dpump_log TO hr;
You would then use the following Data Pump Export command:
expdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir DUMPFILE=hr.dmp LOGFILE=dpump_log:hr.log

I got error when I export database ORACLE 9i from solaris 9.

I want to export full database ORACLE 9i from SOLARIS 9 to import full database on ORACLE 9i on windows.
I set oracle environment and NSL_LANG with command:
bash-3.00$ export ORACLE_SID=TIS
bash-3.00$ export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.TH8TISASCII
and then run command to export:
bash-3.00$ exp system/manager@TIS full=y file= /u03/dmp/TISfull.dmp log=/u03/dmp/exp_TIS.log
I got error message as:

Cannot export a dump file

Dear all experts,
I need your helps please. We have oracle enterprise 9i2 installed and oracle fail safe installed on the server. We run cluster.
All of a sudden, i ran into a problem to create a dump file for backup.
at the command prompt i type in:
c:\exp
c:\username
c:\password
After entered all the correct usename and password, it quickly responded with error messages as below
EXP-00056: ORACLE error 12560 encountered
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully.
Please note that i use the oracle client 9i2 on client machine.
even i logon to the server where Oracle database server installed, but i got the same error message.
Now we are so worry since we cannot backup database using exportint dump file.
We are now at critical moment. Any helps are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a million.

even i logon to the server where Oracle database server installed, but i got the same error message.
For server side:
Did you set ORACLE_SID environment variable ?
Are you sure Windows service OracleService<instance> is running ?
Are you sure database instance is up and running ?
Can you connect with SQL*Plus to database instance from server ?
For client side:
Did you set ORACLE_SID environment variable ?
Are you sure listener is up and running on server ?
What is the output of tnsping on the client ?
Please note also:
While useful, database exports are not a substitute for whole database backups. They cannot provide the same complete recovery advantages of physical-level backups. For example, you cannot apply archived logs to logical backups in order to update lost changes.

Problem with ORACLE_SID

I am not able startup a database in nomount state for particular ORACLE_SID. It seems it doesn't like the ORACLE_SID I set to.
It's throwing following error
ORA-07345: The datafile name must not contain the string '..'.
Steps I did like follows
1) export ORACLE_SID=ABC
2) I have init.ora, which has DB_NAME=ABC
3) startup nomount pfile='/export/home/oracle/init.ora'
It works great and puts db in nomount state
But, when I change ORACLE_SID=XYZ and edited init.ora with
DB_NAME=XYZ, then did
startup nomount pfile=''/export/home/oracle/init.ora', then it throws following error
ORA-07345: The datafile name must not contain the string '..'.

Normally the init.ora file is init<$ORACLE_SID>.ora
i.e. initABC.ora
Are you sure that you are trying to start ABC with the correct initialization file?

Unable to call exported client methods of EJB session bean remote interface

I am unable to call client methods of a BC4J application module deployed as a Session EJB to Oracle 8i at the client side of my multi-tier application. There is no documentation, and I am unable to understand how I should do it.
A business components project has been created. For instance, its application module is called BestdataModule. A few custom methods have been added to BestdataModuleImpl.java file, for instance:
public void doNothingNoArgs() {
public void doNothingOneArg(String astr) {
public void setCertificate(String userName, String userPassword) {
theCertificate = new Certificate(userName, userPassword);
public String getPermission() {
if (theCertificate != null)
{if (theCertificate.getPermission())
{return("Yes");
else return("No, expired");
else return("No, absent");
theCertificate being a protected class variable and Certificate being a class, etc.
The application module has been tested in the local mode, made remotable to be deployed as EJB session bean, methods to appear at the client side have been selected. The application module has been successfully deployed to Oracle 8.1.7 and tested in the remote mode. A custom library containing BestdataModuleEJBClient.jar and BestDataCommonEJB.jar has been created.
Then I try to create a client basing on Example Oracle8i/EJB Client snippet:
package bestclients;
import java.lang.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import oracle.aurora.jndi.sess_iiop.*;
import oracle.jbo.*;
import oracle.jbo.client.remote.ejb.*;
import oracle.jbo.common.remote.*;
import oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.*;
import oracle.jdeveloper.html.*;
import bestdata.client.ejb.*;
import bestdata.common.ejb.*;
import bestdata.common.*;
import bestdata.client.ejb.BestdataModuleEJBClient;
public class BestClients extends Object {
static Hashtable env = new Hashtable(10);
public static void main(String[] args) {
String ejbUrl = "sess_iiop://localhost:2481:ORCL/test/TESTER/ejb/bestdata.BestdataModule";
String username = "TESTER";
String password = "TESTER";
Hashtable environment = new Hashtable();
environment.put(javax.naming.Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "oracle.aurora.jndi");
environment.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
environment.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
environment.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, ServiceCtx.NON_SSL_LOGIN);
BestdataModuleHome homeInterface = null;
try {
Context ic = new InitialContext(environment);
homeInterface = (BestdataModuleHome)ic.lookup(ejbUrl);
catch (ActivationException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
catch (CommunicationException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
catch (NamingException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
try {
System.out.println("Creating a new EJB instance");
RemoteBestdataModule remoteInterface = homeInterface.create();
// Method calls go here!
// e.g.
// System.out.println(remoteInterface.foo());
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
It doesnt cause any errors. However, how must I call methods? The public interface RemoteBestdataModule has no such methods:
void doNothingNoArgs();
void doNothingOneArg(java.lang.String astr);
void setCertificate(java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String userPassword);
java.lang.String getPermission();
Instead of that it has the following methods:
oracle.jbo.common.remote.PiggybackReturn doNothingNoArgs(byte[] _pb) throws oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteJboException, java.rmi.RemoteException;
oracle.jbo.common.remote.PiggybackReturn doNothingOneArg(byte[] _pb, java.lang.String astr) throws oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteJboException, java.rmi.RemoteException;
oracle.jbo.common.remote.PiggybackReturn customQueryExec(byte[] _pb, java.lang.String aQuery) throws oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteJboException, java.rmi.RemoteException;
oracle.jbo.common.remote.PiggybackReturn setCertificate(byte[] _pb, java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String userPassword) throws oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteJboException, java.rmi.RemoteException;
oracle.jbo.common.remote.PiggybackReturn getPermission(byte[] _pb) throws oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteJboException, java.rmi.RemoteException;
I cannot call those methods. I can see how they are called in BestdataModuleEJBClient.java file:
public void doNothingNoArgs() throws oracle.jbo.JboException {
try {
oracle.jbo.common.remote.PiggybackReturn _pbRet = mRemoteAM.doNothingNoArgs(getPiggyback());
processPiggyback(_pbRet.mPiggyback);
if (_pbRet.isReturnStreamValid()) {
return;
catch (oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteJboException ex) {
processRemoteJboException(ex);
catch (java.rmi.RemoteException ex) {
processRemoteJboException(ex);
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException("Marshall error");
However, I cannot call getPiggyback() function! It is a protected method, it is available to the class BestdataModuleEJBClient which extends EJBApplicationModuleImpl, but it is unavailable to my class BestClients which extends Object and is intended to extend oracle.jdeveloper.html.WebBeanImpl!
It seems to me that I mustnt use RemoteBestdataModule interface directly. Instead of that I must use the public class BestdataModuleEJBClient that extends EJBApplicationModuleImpl and implements BestdataModule interface. It contains all methods required without additional arguments (see just above). However, how must I create an object of BestdataModuleEJBClient class? That is a puzzle. Besides my custom methods the class has only two methods:
protected bestdata.common.ejb.RemoteBestdataModule mRemoteAM;
/*This is the default constructor (do not remove)*/
public BestdataModuleEJBClient(RemoteApplicationModule remoteAM) {
super(remoteAM);
mRemoteAM = (bestdata.common.ejb.RemoteBestdataModule)remoteAM;
public bestdata.common.ejb.RemoteBestdataModule getRemoteBestdataModule() {
return mRemoteAM;
It looks like the remote application module must already exist! In despair I tried to put down something of the kind at the client side:
RemoteBestdataModule remoteInterface = homeInterface.create();
BestdataModuleEJBClient dm = new BestdataModuleEJBClient(remoteInterface);
dm.doNothingNoArgs();
Of course, it results in an error.
System Output: null
System Error: java.lang.NullPointerException

System Error: void bes
System Error: tclients.BestClients.main(java.lang.String[]) (BestClients.java:76)
I have studied a lot of documents in vain. I have found only various senseless discourses:
"Use the Application Module Wizard to make the Application Module remotable and export the method. This will generate an interface for HrAppmodule (HrAppmodule.java in the Common package) which contains the signature for the exported method promoteAllEmps(). Then, deploy the Application Module. Once the Application Module has been deployed, you can use the promoteAllEmps() method in your client-side programs. Calls to the promoteAllEmps() method in client-side programs will result in calls to the promote() method in the application tier."
However, I have failed to find a single line of code explaining how it should be called.
Can anybody help me?

"Generally speaking the value of the NLS_LANG registry key or environment variable needs to be equal to the characterset of the database."
Yes...that's why i have set the NLS_LANG env.variable to GREEK_GREECE.EL8MSWIN1253 ..equal to:

Yes...it's true.
"So, in the dump you posted, no one can tell whether those characters were INSERTed correctly at all. Your NLS_LANG *registry key* may have been set to an incorrect value (it defaults to American_America.MSWIN1252)."
Actually , i have used a third-party tool PL/SQL Developer (which does have the OracleDB10g as default home).
Looking at the Windows registry of OracleDB10g the NLS_LANG is equal to GREEK_GREECE.EL8MSWIN1253.
"Thirdly, as I implied above the NLS_LANG on import should have been American_America.UTF8."
According to the Note 227332.1 , if the db characterset of the two dbs are not the same.. then it is preferable the conversion should be done on the import process and not the export....
So, in an example described there -export from a AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 db and import on UTF8 db - (seems exactly the same as mine) the import is done as such:
c:\>set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
       c:\>imp ....
The conversion to UTF8 is done while inserting the data
       in the UTF8 database.Additional notes....
I have used many different patterns doing the import......
1) Use of AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
2) Use of GREEK_GREECE.EL8ISO8859P7
3) Use the appropriate NLS_LANG that corresponds to the display of chcp command....
All tries display some '?' chars.....
Anyway... I 'll continue reading ... and testing
Thanks... a lot for your points

IMPORT & EXPORT from/to compressed files directly...

for newbies a tip to import(export) directly to(from) compressed files using pipes . Its for Unix based systems only, as I am not aware of any pipe type functionality in Windows. The biggest advantage is that you can save lots of space as uncompressing a file makes it almost 5 times or more. (Suppose you are uncompressing a file of 20 GB, it will make 100 GB) As a newbie I faced this problem, so thought about writing a post.
Lets talk about export first. The method used is that create a pipe, write to a pipe(ie the file in exp command is the pipe we created), side by side read the contents of pipe, compress(in the background) and redirect to a file. Here is the script that achieves this:
export ORACLE_SID=MYDB
rm -f ?/myexport.pipe
mkfifo ?/myexport.pipe
cat ?/myexport.pipe |compress > ?/myexport.dmp.Z &
sleep 5
exp file=?/myexport.pipe full=Y log=myexport.logSame way for import, we create a pipe, zcat from the dmp.Z file, redirect it to the pipe and then read from pipe:
export ORACLE_SID=MYDB
rm -f ?/myimport.pipe
mkfifo ?/myimport.pipe
zcat ?/myexport.dmp.Z > ?/myimport.pipe &
sleep 5
imp file=myimport.pipe full=Y show=Y log=?/myimport.logIn case there is any issue with the script, do let me know :)
Experts, please have a look...is it fine ? (Actually I dont have Oracle installed on my laptop(though have Fedora 6) so couldnt test the scripts)
I posted the same on my blog too. just for bookmark ;)

actually, only the compression thing runs in the background. rest proceeds like normal only. just instead of giving normal file we use pipe as a file.
nice article about named pipes

Please check the following minimum requirements are met;
-CREATE SESSION
-CREATE TABLE
-object privileges READ and WRITE on the directory
-sufficient tablespace quota on default user's tablespace
Additionally the role IMP_FULL_DATABASE is needed:
-to run an Import DataPump job that imports a different schema.
These requirements apply to the user connected to the database while preforming Import Datapump Job.
Additionally review Oracle Metalink Document: Export/Import DataPump: The Minimum Requirements to Use Export DataPump and Import DataPump (System Privileges Doc ID: Note:351598.1

Export and import issue

I would like to copy a materialized view from one database to another with data.
I used datapump .I did the export as follows:
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp system/orc8737 tables="PIMS_REPO".\"DW_V_SELECTION_TXN_QSIII\" directory=DATAPUMPST dumpfile=expdp_txn.dmp logfile=expdp_txn.log
expdp_txn.sh (END)
I did the import as follows:
impdp import_user/twoseven27 directory=datapumpst
dumpfile=expdp_txn.dmp logfile=impdp_txn.log
But it got copied as table and not as materialized view. I thought datapump can transform a materialized view to a materialized view.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with the syntax.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
But when I use
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp system/orc8737 directory=DATAPUMPSTEVE dumpfile=expdp_txn.dmp logfile=expdp_txn.log schemas=PIMS_REPO include=DW_V_SELECTION_TXN_QSIII
it gives
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39041: Metadata filter has no selectivity.

Doc ID: Note:10767.1
Subject: How to perform FULL System Export/Imports
Type: BULLETIN
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date: 18-APR-1994
Last Revision Date: 30-AUG-2002
Purpose
This article highlights some important points to consider when performing
a Full System Export and Import.
Scope and Application
It is intended to assist users performing FULL System Exports and Imports.
A Full System Export and Import is a useful way to replicate or clean up
a database. Please note the following guidelines when performing a Full
System Export and Import:
1. When performing the import, ensure you are pointing at the correct
instance. Always check values for the SID and two task driver before
proceeding.
*Note: On Unix systems, just entering a sub-shell, such as using
C-shell, can change the database that the import would work
against.
2. When possible, it is advisable to take a physical copy of the
exported database and the database you intend to import into before
starting the import. This ensures any mistakes are reversible.
3. NEVER run a FULL SYSTEM IMPORT on a machine that has more than one
database UNLESS you are 100% sure all tablespaces have been
pre-created. A full import will create any undefined tablespaces
using the same datafile names as the exported database. There are
situations where this is very dangerous:
-> If the datafiles belong to ANY other database, they will be
CORRUPTED. This is especially true if the exported database is
on the same machine, because its datafiles will be re-used by
the database you are importing into.
-> If the datafiles have names that clash with existing operating
system files.
4. When exporting, it is advisable to also produce a report showing
information you may need before / after the import:
-> List the tablespaces and datafiles
-> List the rollback segments
-> List a count, by user, of each object type such as tables,
indexes, etc.
This enables you to ensure that tablespaces have been pre-created
and to check the success of the import after it is complete.
5. If you are creating a completely new database from an export, remember
to create an extra rollback segment in SYSTEM, and make this available
in the init.ora file before proceeding with the import.
6. There are some versions of export that do not retain sequence numbers
correctly. It is advisable to select next_value for each sequence
after the export so that these can be checked after import.
Following these guidelines will help you to avoid major problems.

Subject: How To Copy an Oracle Database To Another Machine
Type: HOWTO
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date: 12-OCT-2001
Last Revision Date: 01-OCT-2003
goal: How to copy an Oracle database to another machine
fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
fix:
Pre-requisites: The copy is between 2 machines, both have to be on the same OS
and have to have exactly the same database version installed.
1. Make sure the database you want to copy was closed with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE,
SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL.
2. Copy init.ora and control files to create instance and be able to go in
mount mode. Check the init.ora for the locations where the controlfiles have
to be, if those locations are not valid on the machine put the control files on
different places and adjust the init.ora accordingly.
3.a. Copy the datafiles (all of them).
b. Copy the redo-logfiles (all of them).
4.a. (Unix only) Set the environment variables:
ORACLE_SID - set to the database name you wish to create
ORACLE_HOME - set to full pathname of the Oracle system home directory
PATH - needs to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
b. (NT/2000 only) Do 'set ORACLE_SID=<SID>'
Use oradim to create the service for the instance. For more information
on oradim please refer to (the part that refers to creating a new instance):
Note:68720.1 Creating a new 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 Instance/Database
5. Use servermanager (check the name to use for your version of oracle) or
sqlplus (version 9i and above) to startup the database in mount mode.
Do
CONNECT INTERNAL/<PASSWORD>
then
STARTUP MOUNT
Then do a rename of the copied datafiles if they are not in the same path as on
the other machine. For all the files that are in the result of the query:
SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
do
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<filename>' to <
newfullpath>\<filename>';
6. Query the datadictionary for the old location of the redolog files using:
SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
If the new place is not the same as the old do:
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<redologfilename>' to &
lt;newfullpath>\<redologfilename>';
7. Now open the database:
ALTER DATBASE OPEN;

How to Import/Export database tables from one server to other in oracle8i

Hello friend,
Please can any one tell me how to import/export groups of database tables from one server with oracle to another using VB.net. It would be nice if some one can provide some code of it.
I am a software developer and I am in middle of a large project development, in which I need to export a large oracle database from one server to another efficiently.
Its very urgent so please someone help me.

At command prompt (source db)
set ORACLE_SID=db_name
exp system/password@db_name full=y buffer=104857600 file=(c:\file1.dmp, c:\file2.dmp....) log=c:\exp.log filesize=2000M
Then ftp the export dump files (in binary) to the other server or copy to target server over the network.
At command prompt (target db)
set ORACLE_SID=db_name
imp system/password@db_name full=y ignore=y buffer=104857600 file=(c:\file1.dmp, c:\file2.dmp....) log=c:\imp.log filesize=2000M
If the path names of the datafiles are going to be different in the target server (as compared to the source), then precreate the tablespaces before import. Set buffer value accordingly.
