Hello,

After a successful export of a schema, I got a warning while doing an import of the schema I had just exported.

I checked the log and saw the following errors:
IMP-00017 : following statement failed with ORACLE error 959:
 "CREATE TABLE "M4DMS_ORA_DOC_CO1" ("ID_DOC" NUMBER(8, 0), "ID_DOC_VERSION" N"
 "UMBER(2, 0), "DOC_CONTENT" BLOB, "ISO_LANGUAGE" VARCHAR2(3), "DOC_FORMAT_TY"
 "PE" VARCHAR2(10), "ID_CHAR_SET" VARCHAR2(20))  PCTFREE 1 PCTUSED 40 INITRAN"
 "S 1 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER"
 "_POOL DEFAULT) TABLESPACE "M4PRO" LOGGING NOCOMPRESS LOB ("DOC_CONTENT") ST"
 "ORE AS  (TABLESPACE "M4PRO" ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW CHUNK 8192 PCTVERSION 10 "
 "NOCACHE LOGGING  STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER"
 "_POOL DEFAULT))"
IMP-00003: Erreur ORACLE 959 rencontrée
ORA-00959: Tablespace 'M4PRO' does not exit


To make sure the 'guilty' tablespace does indeed exist, I ran the following as sysdba:
SQL> conn /@m4client as sysdba
ConnectÚ.
SQL> select tablespace_name from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name like 'M%'
;


and the result is as follows:
TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------
META4
M4PRO

SQL>
Which means that the tablespace M4PRO does exit.

Why do I have that error and how can I fix it?

I am using oracle 10gR2 on both machine (The one I did the export from and the one I am trying to import into)


Thanks in advance.

Here:
SQL> select '"'||tablespace_name||'"' from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name
 like 'M%';

Result:
'"'||TABLESPACE_NAME||'"'
--------------------------------
"META4"
"M4PRO"

here's the command I used for the import:
imp system/psswd fromuser=m4dev touser=m4prod log=path_to_logfile file=path_to_dump_file.dmp grants=n commit=y statistics=recalculate.


When I ran a select table_name on dba_tables on the database I exported the schema from, I found that the table which seems to cause problem does also exist. Any tips to help me go on?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, your tablespace exists in the database where you exported, but it doesn't exist in the database where you are importing.

Uhmm... to check what you said, joy_div, I ran the following on the database where I am importing:
SQL> select username,default_tablespace from dba_users where username like 'M4%';


USERNAME                       DEFAULT_TABLESPACE
------------------------------ -----------------------------------------
M4PROD                       M4PROD

The default tablespace of the user I am importing into is M4PROD, not M4PRO. So should I create a tablespace M4PRO in the database I am importing, then alter the user M4PROD and set his default tablespace to M4PRO? If no, how should I proceed?

Thanks in advance?

Try This

1/ Connect target databaes (where your going to import)

2/ Conn sys or System

3/
Revoke resource from m4prod;

4/ Try import again (if you want include IGNORE=Y )

5/ Let us know

I would say that's the best option unless you don't have the space for all the objects that are going to go into M$PRO.

p.s. Usually I don't like saying things like this, but please do not follow the advice of Babu as it is incorrect.

Hello Joy, Hello Bab,

Thanks for all your tips and comments. If there is one thing I learned from this experience, it's that, it's better to create a tablespace with same name as the tablespace the dump file comes from, into the database where the import is to be done.
Here's what I did yesterday : I created a tablespace M4PRO in the database I was importing into, then I created a new user with his default tablespace sets to M4PRO, then I ran the import command and it was successful with no warnings.

Now I know exactely how to proceed in production. However, I think it's good to test new things and see how they work; That's why I'll follow both your tips and let you guys know how it went.

See you in a while.

Hello,

Bab, I tried your thing but I got the
IMP-00019: row rejected due to oracle error 1
ORA-00001: Unique constraint violated.

There's something else I noticed though: I re-did the exact same operation that lead me to opening this thread and this time I got no warnings. Likewise, during the my first import, when I checked the log after I realised that the import was terminated successfully with warnings, I discovered that on the over 2500 tables contain in the dump file, the error was thrown for only one table. Seemed to me that the remaining tables were imported just fine. Does anyone have an explanation for such a weird behavior?

Anyway in the future(wherever I could do the check), I'll make sure a tablespace with the same name and characteristics does exist.

That table had a LOB datatype. It's probably more restrictive in that it won't use the default tablespace if the named tablespace doesn't exist. Like you said, make sure all tablespaces exist prior to import first.

Ok. I agree but why your not trying to revoke 'RESOURCE' role??

Try this

1/ During import try this;

imp ... fromuser=a touser=b rows=n ignore=y


ps: make sure before import if you have any LOB column; pls manually create tables
select * from user_lobs;


2. Disable all constriants; (try to write one custom script)

3. Again import with data using.

imp.. fromuser=a touser=b ignore=y rows=y constraints=n indexes=n

4. Enable all constraints; (try to write one custom script)

Thank you in advance.

Babu
