Problem with "impdp" utility

Hello, I've installed Oracle XE for Windows on my local machine, and I'm trying to import metadata only from a remote database. The command I'm running it's:
+$ impdp system/******** directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR logfile=impCMS-PRE10g.log network_link=system_pre10g schemas=CMS content=METADATA_ONLY remap_tablespace=CMS_TBL:USERS remap_tablespace=CMS_IDX:USERS exclude=GRANT,STATISTICS+
and the result obtained is next:
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/USER
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/SYSTEM_GRANT
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/ROLE_GRANT
rocessing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/DEFAULT_ROLE
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/PRE_SCHEMA/PROCACT_SCHEMA

In next execution, I decid to exclude comments from import and the command was next:
+$ impdp system/******** directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR logfile=impCMS-PRE10g.log network_link=system_pre10g schemas=CMS content=METADATA_ONLY remap_tablespace=CMS_TBL:USERS remap_tablespace=CMS_IDX:USERS exclude=GRANT,STATISTICS,COMMENT+

I've been reading several metalink notes about similar problems, but I can't get the solution. Local database version (Oracle XE) is 10.2.0.1.0 and remote databese version (Oracle SE) is 10.2.0.4.0 running under Redhat Linux OS.
Any ideas to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Which patch/version of the client is creating the expdp file, the 10.2.0.4 source?
Export: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
Import: Release 10.2.0.1.0
+Might be a comment on the source table that is too long for the 10.2.0.1 system catalog (DBMS_METADATA.FETCH_XML_CLOB [COMMENT]) ?+
Maybe, how could I check this?
Or maybe the source or target has an incompatible or different character sets, i.e. maybe its trying to put multi-byte UTF characters into a single or 2-byte varchar ... on the source and target databases check the characterset (sqlplus alter database backup controlfile to trace; and look towards the end of the trace file for CHARACTER SET ... ), maybe checking/setting NLS_LANG and LANG env vars is needed.
CHARSET OF LOCAL DATABASE (Target database, XE):
NLS_CHARACTERSET     AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE     AMERICAN
CHARSET OF REMOTE DATABASE (Source database, SE):
NLS_CHARACTERSET     WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE     AMERICAN
And a CMS schema, that tag rings a bell ... content manager? That might not be supported on XE
I think schema's name is unremarkable
Thanks for your help

  • Problems with Disk Utility Repairing Permissions

    Has anyone who had problems with Disk Utility after installing 10.5.1 through Software Update been able to resolve them by installing the Combo update instead?

    The Solution?
    REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
    I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
    In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
    Now everything is back to normal.

  • Studio 12.1 Performace Analyzer 7.7 problem, with 'er_print' utility.

    I am having a minor but nagging problem with a regression in the ‘er_print’ utility of the Sun Performance Analyzer suite bundled in Studio 12. is there maybe a patch available or in the works?
    I have not had any success in finding a resolution by searching the open literature…
    The issue is that the ‘callers-callees’ listing only dumps functions in alphabetical order, ignoring the sort order specified by ‘sort’. This is a regression from the Performance Analyzer (7.4) behavior from Sun Studio 10. We only recently jumped to studio 12.1.
    This functionality is documented here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0304/afaid?a=view (as well as many other references). To quote:
    “callers-callees
    Print the callers-callees panel for each of the functions, in the order specified by the function sort metric (sort)."
    I use a script input to er_print that in the past analyzed the top ‘N’ functions sorted on inclusive thread time. Now I have to be sure to dump ALL functions and need a third-party search tool to find that information in the resulting report.
    Has anyone heard of this problem or are there Performance Analyzer patch(es) available. I saw some for 7.6 and another for unspecified but have not seen this problem in patch notices.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Nik, thanks for taking a look. We can't go to 12.2 because we're a software developer and we'll lose our binary compatibility with the release we've been building for the last few months. I'm a systems guy and will paste in a developer's example below.
    Note Marc's url shows a 12.1 Performance Analyzer patch 142369-01 we have not yet installed. The patch notice description doesn't show much. I'll pass on patch info to remote user/developer.
    Developer example:
    I use a script input to er_print that in the past analyzed the top ‘N’ functions sorted on inclusive thread time. Now I have to be sure to dump ALL functions and need a third-party search tool to find that information in the resulting report.
    Here’s a shortened (only 4) example of the behavior I’m seeing… the focus of the functions in callers-callees are NOT those of the functions determined by the sort metric.

  • Problems with Disk Utility

    Hi,
    iPhoto crashed my computer in a big way and after leaving the rainbow wheel for about an hour, with very sluggish response I kept the power button down and reset (without doing a shutdown).
    Unfortunately it has a created a massive problem with my Macbook Pro, in so much that it no longer boots up.
    I get the grey screen with the Apple and progress wheel, but then nothing.
    I have booted from an external USB hard disk (also 10.6) and ran disk utility.
    S.M.A.R.T. reports all ok
    Repair disk reports all ok
    Repair disk permissions fails with the following error:
    Error: Permissions verify or repair failed
    I've checked the system.log file and this is the error:

    There's other errors in the system.log, but these seem the most pertinent to the problem.
    Can anyone please advise on how I repair this, or do I need to buy Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory structure?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Superduper to create a bootable carbon copy and TM for incrementals.
    I really don't want to re-install OSX and then recover the components from TM though for several reasons.
    Thanks.

  • Problems with Disk Utility & Mounting DMG!! Help!!

    Hey guys, im a fairly inexperienced mac user anyways I recently bought a IBOOK G3 with Tiger 10.4 and i'm having major issues with Disk Utility and installing applications.
    The issues with D.I are that it loads up then I get the error message "Disk Utlity started but a background process needed in Disk Utility didn't start properly. Please quit and restart Disk Utility. And when I do restart it, i get the same error over and over.
    Also my second problem is whenever I try to and install DMG files I get the error: "Broken Pipe" and sometimes "Device Not Configured"
    I've tried searching for resolutions for each problem but they both involve the other functioning! I'm really at a loss, i've tried using programs like pacifist to reinstall my original files etc and they haven't seemed to help.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you xxx

    Hi Kellie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
    Report if there were errors please.

  • Problem with Disk Utility and with ITunes and with Classic

    Greetings. I have had problems with ITunes recently; when I try to open it, it gives me the error message: "The ITunes Music Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    When I looked at the ITunes discussion section, people had two ideas for other people who had the same problem:
    (1) Make sure that the library of music files is write-enabled (which it is) and not locked (it isn't) and
    (2) Go to Disk Utility and repair the disk.
    Since (1) is not a problem, I am trying (2). However, when I open Disk Utility, it just stays on the window, stating "Gathering disk information..." and proceeds no further.
    Perhaps related to these problems, when I try to start up Classic, the window opens, but it gets stuck at the very beginning (stating "Classic starting up using System Folder ...") and proceeds no further.
    Can anyone help me with these multiple problems? Thanks in advance.

    amandel
    The problems you report are different than those relating to the iTunes receipts/DU conflict. Trashing those receipts as suggested is necessary to get DU to repair permissions, but, as I understand it, you couldn't get DU to recognise your drives. And I've seen no posts relating to iTunes 6 and Classic.
    I've had the problem you describe before (at least vis-a-vis DU). In principle DU's "Repair Disk" function would fix it, but of course if the disk's don't mount in DU then you can't fix them:)
    Therefore fsck is a good solution, or trying DU from the Installer Disk (don't start to install, just let the first installer window appear, go to the menu and choose "Open Disk Utility") and repairing. Then reboot and repair permissions, preferably with DU running from your hard drive.
    Maybe you're more of a "don't touch what's still running" kind of person, but it sounds to me like the systems a bit wobbly and needs some tender loving care. You could try a clean up using a program like OnyX as well - it won't do any harm.

  • Any problem with Airport Utility 5.3.2 and an AirDisk

    Morning.
    Can I harmlessly update onto Airport Utility 5.3.2 without getting troubles using an USB hard disk connntected to the Airport Extreme base station? 5.3.1 has fixed a bug that has caused reiterative disconnects to the AirDisk occurring with 5.3.0.
    And I really to not want to get these troubles back in 5.3.2.
    Are my fears baseless?
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

    Airport Utility 5.3.2 is quite harmless. More people having problem with OS X 10.5.3 update, which is making the AirDisk very slow and unresponsive. I end up re-formating the USB hard disk to solve the problem.

  • Printer problem with Airport Utility and Epson CX5500

    Hi,
    I recently bought an iMac '24 2.66 Computer and was able to set up my internet through an airport. When it came to hooking up a wireless Epson CX5500 printer, the airport recognized it, but when it came to print in the printing queue it simply wont print. I was able to find a very helpful post that would possibly be my next step in fixing it (probably just a program error or hook up)
    Here is that post:

    *Posted: Sep 29, 2008 5:42 AM in response to: tonys28661 *
    +Hi there,+
    +I had the same problem, but with an Epson CX5500.+
    +Firstly, BTW - I found out there IS a list of supported printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1370?viewlocale=en_US. Before you scream - "that's leopard you idiot"; in the table, if the printer is listed with a MODERN driver, then it will work with Airport Base Station - eg TimeCapsule.+
    +Next. My problem was solved by deleting the spaces put into the printer name by timecapsule. When the printer is recognised it was called "Epson CX 5500". My Macbook printer service then set up a Queue which was mdns://...Epson%20CX%205500... Note - substitution of %20 for space in the name. I removed the spaces from the name via airport utility, manual set up, printers. Now the macbook could print to it.+
    Cheers,
    Mark
    The problem that i have is the step by step process of altering this or finding it. As i made the name of the shared printer EPSONStylusCX5500 but could not acess the printer name one to change it. The url link still shows the 20%. If someone could please take the time to explain on how to do it, then maybe just maybe, i would be able to print wirelessly. Any other ideas or even cheap printers that would work without a problem as i would simply go out and buy one instead. Thanks.

  • Timecapsule and iMac Early 2008 - Problems with Airport Utility

    I have bought a new iMac and a TimeCapsule. With *Leopard 10.5.5* i have some problems to change the configuration. The Assistant will not work. The changed settings will not send to theTime Capsule (Ethernet or and Wireless). The airport signal is _very low_ under OSX (-60 — -64 dB). When I use airport with Windows XP on Bootcamp partition it will work fine. No problems with changing settings and the signal is -1 db.

    * Ran Software Update to check for any recent updates - updated iTunes (6.0.3) + an iPod update
    * Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions (which I do whenever I've installed or deteted software) -- Have never had any issues, but this is where my problem started.
    Repair permissions hangs at the end (status bar to the very end), and it appears to be working on permissions related to iTunes (sorry, will have to run Disk Utility again and follow-up with the specifics). I ran it twice with the same result.
    I saw other threads suggesting that the problem may be with the latest iTunes update (recommending moving the iTunes application folder to the desktop and rerunning Disk Utility), but it seems specific to 10.3. Could this be an issue with 10.2.8 as well. If I can successfully complete repairs to permissions (with the above workaround), can I proceed with the 10.4 upgrade, and if so, what should I do with the iTunes application folder (keep it on the desktop, or move it back)?
    Thanks

    Cornelius ... thanks for the follow-up. I went ahead and tried both methods, although I should note that I didn't show the iTunes.pkg or iTunesPhoneDrive.pkg files in the Library>Receipts folder as described in the two approaches. I had no luck at all with Kappy's solution (I moved the one file I did have -- iTunesX.pkg -- and Disk Utility stalled as before). I moved iTunes.pkg back to its original folder, and tried the first method you described. I moved the iTunes app to my desktop, and I was able to successfully repair permissions. I trashed two files (iTunes3.pkg and iTunes4.pkg) and left the iTunesX.pkg file as instructed (again, I don't show the iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg file at all). I reran Disk Utility with the same faulty result.
    I suspect it may have something to do with the missing files. Any thoughts on that?
    Thanks again.
    Max:
    Sorry I misunderstood you. Actually you don't move
    your iTunes folder at all. Here are a couple of
    procedures. Since I have not had to use it I can't
    vouch for either, but I have heard both have worked
    for others.Just to catalogue the
    solutions listed above
    Here's what I did, and it worked fine.
    1) Move iTunes onto the Desktop.
    2) Run Disk Utility
    3) Go to HD>Library>Receipts and trash all iTunes
    .pkg files EXCEPT for iTunesX.pkg and
    iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg
    4) empty Trash.
    5) move iTune from Desktop back to 'Applications'.
    Hey presto. you should now be able to repair
    permissions again.
    HTH
    Kappy’s solution
    1. Navigate to the /Library/Receipts/ folder.
    2. Locate the iTunes.pkg and iTunesX.pkg files and
    move them to the Desktop.
    3. Run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    4. Move the .pkg files back into the
    /Library/Receipts/ folder.Note that you
    are not moving the iTunes folder, but the .pkg files
    from the Receipts folder. In the first method you
    Trash some of them, in the second you move them back.
    But you don't touch the iTunes application as such.
    Good luck.

  • Known problem with Disk Utility formatting Windows NT drive ?

    I have had a strange problem while formatting a newly purchased Iomega USB (Seagate) with version 11.1 (252.4) of Disk Utility (OS 10.5.8). The drive was NTSF and I wanted Mac OS extended. The first attempt failed, unfortunately I didn't note the exact message. I tried again and this time D.U. was stuck on on a wait progress bar with message "not a multiple of 4". Disk Warrior reported disk too severly damaged. Only Drive Genius could properly format the drive. Anyone knows what happened?

    I'm not sure what caused the problem you observed, but did you first change the partition scheme to a Mac-friendly one before you tried to do the reformat?
    Thanks.
    Well, no I didn't and I simply applied "erase to Mac OS extended". Maybe there is a change from earlier versions of D.U. So far and as far as I am aware, D.U. would erase a DOS disk and by default choose the Apple partition scheme. But this default setting could have been changed to GUID with the Intel Macs, or even to DOS if the drive is DOS. This option is hidden in further options in the partition settings along with the DOS partition scheme and unless you decide to partition the drive and not just erase it, it is not visible. As a matter of facts, Drive Genius offers the choice between Mac OS and GUID as you erase the disk.
    So this could be the culprit, if for instance D.U. erased to Mac OS extended but kept the DOS partition scheme. It seems unlikely though that the developers didn't take that error possibility into account to include a warning of some sort... but that's what I wanted to make sure.

    Hello,
    Is your production database and test database on the same server or diferent?
    +/u01/app/oracle/product/10g/bin/expdp newsys/mypass@prd schemas=NEWSYS directory=DMPDIR dumpfile=prd_newsys%U.dmp filesize=2G logfile=prd_newsys.log+

    Seems to me you have it on the same server, correct me if that's not right? If not then copy your export dmp explicitly on test database server and then run impdp.
    Waiting for your response.
