Is it possible to import, only changes since last import using imp/impdp

on our production environment, we export three times a day.(10.00AM,1.00PM,6:30PM)
and We only want to import the evening export - we have to kind of make sure that if the online system fails _ we have a data up to yesterday evening.
i.e. we want a sort of incremental import, for example we would have yesterday's evening import and today we only want to import all the changes since yesterday's evenings import - that means we want to import into existing database but we want to import only the changes since last import.
it would be great to hear from you
the database is 10g R1
thank you

Thank you all, for your prompt response
I know about RMAN, but our management outsourced our data center and the guys there does not look comfortable around oracle - and me as a DBA was assigned to taking this export backup and import it to another PC once in a day
so I was thinking if it was possible to import "incrementally"
it is good to know that it is not possible, because I don't have to spend time looking for a solution which is not there.
Thanks all

    What update are you referring to?  If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras. 
    So far there's no known fix.  The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

  • My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer.  Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1  iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

    My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer.  Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1  iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • HPCM Error - Model definition changed since last calculation

    Hi everyone,
    I am having a bit of an issue on an HPCM app.
    1)Warning message when I go to Balancing -> "the model has changed since last calculation."
    2)Message when I select reporting cube in Balancing -> "the reporting database has not been updated with the last calculation results."
    What was done before I got to this point :
    1)add some lev 0 members in the current hierarchy for Cost Centre
    2)run a compare to check if these are picked up (OK!)
    3)deploy from EPMA (result : message SUCCESSFUL)
    4)go to HPCM and deploy both cubes (OK->at least that's what the Job Status said)
    5)check new members in OTL (OK! they are there)
    6)launch the calcs from HPCM , tick the box to clear all prev calc data, tick the box to regenerate calcs, tick the box to transfer data to the reporting cube.
    result : job status : OK!
    But actually : data never got transferred across to the reporting cube.
    I repeated steps 1-6 a few times, I even changed something in the shared library (an alias) to check if that went through.
    In EPMA it says the App is "In Sync with deployment". And when I run a Compare with deployed app it doesn't pick up anything.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Kind regards,
    Alecs

    Hi everyone,
    Just realised I never came back with the answer to my issue. I was developing the new app and launching the creation of the calcs sequentially, hence while I was developing calcs for stage 2 or 3 , regenerating only those scripts are calculating only the particular areas. This was the reason why I got that message. As soon as I redeployed both apps and recalculated everything from scratch, the error message disappeared.
    Just in case anyone was wondering.
    Cheers,
    Alecs

  • Import running slow since last days.

    I have a issue where Oracle 9i database import is running very slow since last couple of days. The process used to be completed in 5 hours every day. But since last two days it is taking 10 to 15 hours to complete. I have checked the data-file size, and export dump-file sizes are consistent with what it used to be. There are no any significant changes in the database size no errors reported in the import and alert log files. Please help me Identify and resolve the real cause of this performance degrade.
    Thanks,

  • Your disk copy of image was changed since last opened or saved

    I recently clean installed 10.6.1 on a brand new hard drive together with CS4 including all recent Adobe updates. Apart from Acrobat Reader I have no other Adobe software on this computer.
    When I open and start to work on a file all seems fine and the first time I try to save it's OK, but on the 2nd attempt and there after I get a strange message pop up like the attachment telling me that the file has been changed since it was last opened or saved.
    To try and resolve this problem I have trashed the preferences, verified that fonts are OK with fontagentpro and double checked all my preferences inside Photoshop but nothing there suggests any problems. I also cleaned the fonts cache but this message continues. It has been suggested that the message is being caused by some other application, however it is happening even when Photoshop is the only active application. Does anybody know what could be causing this?
    Thanks
    Ashley

    I believe I have just found the answer to this problem but it all happened quite by accident and I wonder if others may be suffering from issues in CS4 with snow leopard for similar reasons. A couple days ago I tried using the Kodak Gem Airbrush Pro plugin which is occasionally useful, though I hadn't needed it since installing snow leopard. For some strange reason it was refusing to accept my registration code and and was either causing Photoshop to crash badly or else left the watermarks on the image.
    I wrote to Kodak about this who replied earlier today that this was likely to be a permissions issue with the preferences folder in the shared users library, so they suggested I run a command in the terminal to alter those permissions. When navigating there manually, no such folder existed, but after running the command line the folder appeared and the only item inside it was that Kodak preference.
    To cut a long story short, not only has the Kodak plugin started to work properly but all the other strange error messages and frequent crashes also immediately stopped. I've run the same tests now more than a dozen times on different files without a problem.

  • Your disk copy of image was changed since last opened or saved (Mac OS)

    I am  occasionally getting a message that "the disk copy of image  was changed since the file was last opened or saved". The OS is 10.6.6 and I am using CS5. It happens on no specific file. All of my files are pretty big. The current one that this is happening on is a psb that is 3.26 G unflattened. I have from  ignorance always ignored the message and saved anyway. I have never detected any damage or discernible changes to the files after ignoring the warning, but after searching Adobe forum and reading a thread about this happening in CS4, I guess I should be more cautious and do a save as and change the file name. I started this thread because no one has reported the issue happening in CS5.
    The files were all given to me by ftp as either psd, tiff or camera raw files.  I work on duplicates of the originals in no other program but photoshop and opened and closed the files a few times before getting the message about the disk copy being changed. All of my files are saved to an internal harddrive and  backed up on a time capsule device. I am on a network, but am the sole user of the network. The files are  worked on and saved to an internal hard drive on the same computer. They are never opened on another computer which is usually turned off. I am running no virus protection software except what ever is native to the OS. The only other applications I am running when getting this message are safari, mail and sometimes bridge.
    Why am I getting this message and what is causing changes (that I can't detect) to the disk copy?

    Really, damn
    I wonder what it can be. I'm 100% sure its nothing running in the background changing the files in my workflow.
    I checked everything and its funny because it is the same on 3 Mac Pro here ???
    So it must be a bug some where in Adobe's files/apps/etc
    Some combination of files, setup or what ever making the error come up.
    I never had it before i upgraded to 10.6.x Before all Mac Pro was running 10.5.8 with PS CS4 and it worked alright.
    Then i upgraded all our Mac's to the latest to get the 64bit feature and PS CS5 and even the newer CS5.5
    And then it started and its also with the newest PS from CS5.5
    First i thought i found the problem because i saw a post at Extensis forum about the Suitcase FM core and Fontsense
    extension for Photoshop and i deleted the extension from photoshop plugin folder and i was happy at first but then again.
    It came back after a wile.. Sucks. Not that.
    I wonder if its really because PS thinks the image was changed. I know it suppose to be that way but in our situation it is
    something else. A bug ofcause and i have been trying to figure this out the last 3 days and even yesterday i used 7 hours
    in a row to find a solution but i never found it.
    I really hope we can find a way other than reinstalling Mac OS X and Photoshop. I do think if we formatted the drive and
    started all over it would help but i don't want to do that because it will take me for ever to set up from scratch, yarggg
    What do you think ? Do you have any idea whats so ever what could course this ? any ideas

  • Import only photos not previously imported

    Hi, I am trying to import only my most recent photos, say the past 2 months, from my digital camera, which has photos from past 3 months. Already transferred the first month's photos to iPhoto. Don't want to delete month #1 from camera yet. How can I transfer only the past 2 months?

    if ignore duplicates is not present or does not do it (been too long since 6 for me to be sure) use Image capture (in your applications folder) or upgrade to iPhoto '08 or later which handles that

  • API to find out all unsaved changes since last safe

    I am currently implement a cPro Subsystem.
    During the save operation, I would like to analyze the changes that the user has done since the last saving (e.g. change in the field "GROUPING" of a task, or newly added phase, or new assignment of a business partner to a role).
    Is there a service class, an API or something similar by which I can find that out?
    Some kind of change manager or change log class?
    Best regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    The class CL_DPR_APPL_OBJECT_CHANGE_MNGR should store the information you wanted. The problem is that the attribute
    MT_UPDATED_OBJECTS is private and can not be retrieved externally.
    Actually, if a sub system is implmented, typically the following three methods should be added:
    ON_OBJECT_CREATE     Instance Method     Private          Event handler for cPro Object create
    ON_OBJECT_CHANGE     Instance Method     Private          Event handler for cPro Object change
    ON_OBJECT_DELETE     Instance Method     Private          Event handler for cPro Object delete
    they should re-act of the change of cProject object,
    e.g. ON_OBJECT_CHANGE
    Event handler for                
    Class/interface CL_DPR_ENTITY    
    Event           CHANGED          
    Kind regards,
    Zhenbo

  • Genius switched on but the symbol not showing on selected album in the iPod so unable to create a genius play list. This has only happened since last Apple update.

    Have tried all avenues to try and rectify this problem and is getting very annoying. In the past it has stopped me from creating a list stating not enough songs matching which i find odd seeing i have over 2,500 on my iPod.

    Dear Customer,
    As you can see, your pre-requisite checks are failing because you are not on supported OS version.
    Please verify supported OS from SRSP guide (If you are on prior Siebel version 8.1.1.8) or Certification tab for all siebel versions from 8.1.1.9.
    I hope it helps.

  • Can't view photos in iPhoto, but they are in my last imported photos

    Hello,
    I have been able to upload photos from my camera onto my iphoto and view them as normal and create events. I've uploaded some more but now they are just coming up in my last imports and i cannot view them as there is a caution symbol with an exclamation mark. I can still see them as small thumbnails but that's it, i cannot do any photo sharing and creating an event.
    Once i imported the photos it comes up with a keep photos or delete and i selected the delete option same as the other times. Someone please help so these photos don't get lost. They are only in my last imported photos.
    Thanks

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
