I have exported a database schema from an oracle 10.2.0.5.0 database with expdp, logged in as the owner of the schema.
Now I have tried to import the data on an Oracle 12.1.0.2.0 database impdp, logged in as sys with role sysdba.
The expdp command:
expdp "owner/password@hostname/servicename" schemas=SCHEMA_NAME directory=EXPDIR dumpfile=SCHEMA_NAME.dmp logfile=SCHEMA_NAME.log
The impdp command:
impdp "sys/password@hostname/servicename as sysdba" schemas=SCHEMA_NAME directory=EXPDIR dumpfile=SCHEMA_NAME.dmp logfile=SCHEMA_NAME.log
The import gave me the error message:
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/GRANT/OWNER_GRANT/OBJECT_GRANT

I have tried to increase the maximum number of open cursors, but it did not help.
With the option EXCLUDE=INDEX, the import runs without errors, but I need them too.
What can I try next?
Do not invoke Import as SYSDBA, except at the request of Oracle technical support. SYSDBA is used internally and has specialized functions; its behavior is not the same as for general users.
