Oracle Data Pump - Table Structure change

Hi,
we have daily partitioned table, and for backup we are using data pump (expdp). we policy to drop partition after backup (archiving).
we have archived dump files for 1year, few days back developer made changes with table structure they added one new column to table.
Now we are unable to restore old partitions is there a way to restore partition if new column added / dropped from currect table.
Thanks
Sachin

If a new column has been added to the table, you can import only the the data from the old structure to the new structure. Use the parameter CONTENT=DATA_ONLY.

  • Oracle 9i Lite: Table structure changed

    Hello,
    how do I add a new column to a database table? I mean what actions to I have to take to add the column to the database on the server and how is this change transferred to the clients? Are these changes impossible to do with Oracle Lite?
    Stefan

    Yes, this is possible. There are two ways you can update the clients...
    1) repackage the app with the packaging wizard
    2) use the consolidator API - see the javadoc.

  • Schema export via Oracle data pump with Database Vault enabled question

    Hi,
    I have installed and configured Database Vault on an Oracle 11g-r2-11.2.0.3 to protect a specific schema (SCHEMA_NAME) via a realm. I have followed the following doc:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/security/twp-databasevault-dba-bestpractices-199882.pdf
    to ensure that the sys and the system user has sufficient rights to complete a schedule Oracle data pump export operation.
    I.e. I have granted to sys and system the following:
    execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_scheduler_user('sys','SCHEMA_NAME');
    execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_scheduler_user('system','SCHEMA_NAME');
    execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_datapump_user('sys','SCHEMA_NAME');
    execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_datapump_user('system','SCHEMA_NAME');
    I have also create a second realm on the same schema (SCHEMA_NAME) to allow sys and system to maintain indexes for real-protected tables, To allow a sys and system to maintain indexes for realm-protected tables. This separate realm was created for all their index types: Index, Index Partition, and Indextype, sys and system have been authorized as OWNER to this realm.
    However, when I try and complete an Oracle Data Pump export operation on the schema, I get two errors directly after the following line displayed in the export log:
    Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/INDEX/DOMAIN_INDEX/INDEX:
    ORA-39127: unexpected error from call to export_string :=SYS.DBMS_TRANSFORM_EXIMP.INSTANCE_INFO_EXP('AQ$_MGMT_NOTIFY_QTABLE_S','SYSMAN',1,1,'11.02.00.00.00',newblock)

    ORA-06512: at line 1

    The export is completed but with this errors.
    Any help, suggestions, pointers, etc actually anything will be very welcome at this stage.
    Thank you

    Hi Srini,
    Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately after having followed the instructions of the DOC I am still getting the same errors ?
    none the less thank you for your input.
    I was also wondering if someone could tell me how to move this thread to the Database Security area of the forum, as I feel I may have posted the thread in the wrong place as it appears to be a Database Vault issue and not an imp/exp problem. ?

  • How to write export dump commad with no datable data only table structure.

    How to write export dump commad with no datable data only table structure will there and command for hole schma.
    e.g. export dump command for scott schema and all table within scott schema in it no table data should be exported.

    If I understand the question, it sounds like you just need to add the flag "ROWS=N" to your export command (I assume that you're talking about the old export utility, not the Data Pump version).

    I'm not sure to understand what kind of module you're talking about.
    Anyway, there are several docs available in MOS which shows the features differences over the versions, have a look :

    But I didn't find any starting by your (very old) Peopletools version.

    What are the pre-requisites for using the Oracle Data Pump Export and Import ? Like, the config parameters in the initialization files, permissions, etc and the to-do's

    No, nothing like that.
    You need to have Oracle 10g and have a directory object created to hold dump files.

  • Table structure changes

    Assuming that an OraLite 10g is now running on CE.Net and Msync is working fine to do data synchronization between Oralite 10g and an enterprise 9i database. If I make structure changes to a table on the enterprise database, how do I reflect the changes to the OraLite database on the CE.net device.
    Thank you.

    There's a good post about this on metalink...
    A) Add column
    1. Upload all client data. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Change the Oracle8i/9i database schema (add column)
    4. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API AlterPublicationItem()
    5. Start Mobile Server
    6. Execute a sync from the client
    7. The new column should be seen on the client. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    B) Drop column
    1. Upload all client data. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Delete column of the base table in the Oracle database schema
    4. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API DropPublicationItem()
    5. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem().
    6. Start Mobile Server
    7. Execute a sync from the client
    8. The new column should be seen on the cliet. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    C) Change column datatype
    Changing datatypes in a repliatated system is not an easy task. You have to follow certain procedures in order to make it to work. Use DropPublicationItem, CreatePublicationItem and AddPublicationItem methods from the Consolidator Admin API. You must stop/start Mobile Server listener to refresh the cache.
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Drop/create column (do not use conversion procudures) at the base table
    4. Call DropPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue no longer exist.
    5. Call CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue reflect the new column datatype
    6. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    7. Client executes sync. This should drop the old snapshot and recreate the new snapshot. Use MSQL to check
    snapshot definitions.
    D) Drop table
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Drop base table
    4. Call DropPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue no longer exist.
    5. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    6. Client executes sync. This should drop the old snapshot. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    E) Add table
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Add new base table
    4. Call CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem() method
    5. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    6. Client executes sync. This should add the new snapshot. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    F) Changing Primary Keys
    Chaning PK is a severe operation which must be executed manually. A snapshot must be deleted and recreated to propagate the changes to the clients. This causes a full refresh on this snapshot.
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Drop the snapshot using DropPublicationItem() method o
    4. Alter the base table
    5. Call CreatePublicationItem()and AddPublicationItem() methods for the altered table
    6. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    7. Client executes sync. The old snapshot will be replaced by the new snapstot using a full refresh. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    G) To Change a Table Weight =>
    Follow the procedure below to change the Table Weight parameter. The table weight is used by the Mobile Server/Synchronization to determin the sequence in which client records are applied to the Oracle database.
    1. Run MGP to apply any changes in the InQueue to the Oracle databse
    2. Change table weight using SetTemplateItemMetadata() method
    3. Add/change constraint on the the base table which reflects the change in table weight
    4. Synchronize

  • Demantra PTP table structure changed in 7.3.X.X

    The staging tables structure is changed in Demantra version 7.3 onwards as compared to Demantra 7.2.X.X. Some of the "Required" columns in "BIIO_Promotion" table which is used to load promotion data`has been removed in Demantra 7.3. And some more "Required" columns are added in "BIIO_Promotion" table.
    The disappointing thing is that the implementation and user guide doesn't speak about it. How the implementer know, what type of values to load in these mandatory columns to populate the promotion data in Demantra.

  • Table structure changed in testing system after system refresh.

    Hi Team,
    Recently we underwent a system refresh in Testing System where the Testing data is filled with Production data. But now we find that in one table some fields which we had deleted they are again found there. The version history of table is also gone. The table object was under testing in testing system and after which it was supposed to be transported to production. I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure. Please correct me if I am wrong. Please also let me know what could be the reason of those changes in table if it is not System Refresh.
    Regards,
    Amit

    I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure.
    Alas, you were wrong, after all table definition are data too, as program sources...
    You have to re-import every transport request which was not yet transported to production in your test system.
    Regards,
    Raymond

  • An Oracle data pump situation that I need help with

    Oracle 10g running on Sun Solaris:
    I have written a unix shell script that exports data into a dump file(data pump export using expdp). Similarly I have import script that imports the data from the dump file(import using impdp). These are not schema exports. In other words, we have logically divided our schema into 4 different groups based on their functionality (group1, group2,group3 and group4). Each of these groups consists of about 30-40 tables. For expdp, there are 4 parfiles. group1.par, group2.par, group3.par and group4.par. Depending on what parameter you pass while running the script, the respective par file will be picked and an export will be done.
    For example,
    While running,
    exp_script.ksh group1
    will pick up group1.par and will export into group1.dmp.
    Similarly,
    exp_script.ksh group3
    will pick up group3.par and will export into group3.dmp.
    My import script also needs the parameter to be passed to pick the right dmp file.
    For example,
    imp_script.ksh group3
    will pick up group3.dmp and import every table that group3.dmp has(Here, import process does not need par files - all it needs is the right dmp file. )
    I am now faced with a difficulty, where, I must use Oracle's dbms_datapump API, to achieve the above same(and not expdp and impdp). I haven't used this API before. How best can I use this API to stick with my above stategy -- which is, I eventually need group1.dmp, group2.dmp, group3.dmp and group4.dmp. I will need to pass table names that each group contains. How do I do this using this API ? Can someone point me to an example, or perhaps suggest ?
    Thanks

    Or atleast, how do you do a table export using dbms_datapump ?
