expdp
.impdp
to import the data I need the name of the schema to load.So, I need to inspect the .dmp file and list all of the schemas in it, how do I do that?
Update (2008-09-18 13:02) - More detailed information:
The impdp command i'm current using is:
impdp user/password@database directory=DPUMP_DIR
dumpfile=EXPORT.DMP logfile=IMPORT.LOG
And the DPUMP_DIR is correctly configured.
SQL> SELECT directory_path
2 FROM dba_directories
3 WHERE directory_name = 'DPUMP_DIR';
DIRECTORY_PATH
-------------------------
D:\directory_path\dpump_dir\
And yes, the EXPORT.DMP file is in fact in that folder.
The error message I get when I run the impdp
command is:
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition ...
ORA-31655: no data or metadata objects selected for the job
ORA-39154: Objects from foreign schemas have been removed from import
This error message is mostly expected. I need the impdp
command be:
impdp user/password@database directory=DPUMP_DIR dumpfile=EXPORT.DMP
SCHEMAS=SOURCE_SCHEMA REMAP_SCHEMA=SOURCE_SCHEMA:MY_SCHEMA
But to do that, I need the source schema.
If you open the DMP file with an editor that can handle big files, you might be able to locate the areas where the schema names are mentioned. Just be sure not to change anything. It would be better if you opened a copy of the original dump.
