Error importing oracle dump

Question

I am trying to import a dump into two schema in the same oracle DB.Following a workaround to do this.

I am trying to run the imp command with the INDEXFILE option to be able to modify the tablespace names in the sql. This is what I get :

E:\oracle_10_2\BIN>imp atlantis/atlantis@orcl file=ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp indexfile=index.sql full=y log=imp.log

Import: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Mar 12 15:31:44 2009

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Produc tion With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options

IMP-00002: failed to open ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp for read Import file: EXPDAT.DMP >

Looked like a file permission issue to me so I tried changing it.

E:\oracle_10_2\BIN>cacls E:\ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp /p atlantis:F

Are you sure (Y/N)?y

processed file: E:\ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp

E:\oracle_10_2\BIN>cacls E:\ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp

E:\ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp CORP\atlantis:F

But the problem persists.

Solution

If you are using Oracle 10g consider using new export/import tool Oracle Data Pump in which you can use REMAP_TABLESPACE parameter.

Anyway, you missed the path of the exportfile (bassed on the commands fo give permissions). Then You wrote:

file=ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp

instead of

file=E:\ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp

Then, the result export command to work is:

imp atlantis/atlantis@orcl file=E:\ABCD1_EXCLUDE_CLOB_TABS_BAK.dmp indexfile=index.sql full=y log=imp.log
