Hi: I am using exp/imp to do nightly refresh of a schema (which has about 400 tables) from one instance ("A") to another instance ("B"). Here is the exp.parfile: BUFFER = 64000 COMPRESS = Y CONSISTENT = N CONSTRAINTS = Y DIRECT = N FILE = /oracle/exports/oracle.dmp.pipe GRANTS = Y INDEXES = Y LOG = /oracle/exports/export.log ROWS = Y USERID = xxxxxx/yyyyyy OWNER = (MT,PROTEOME) and here is the import parfile: userid=xxxxxx/yyyyyy buffer=30000000 fromuser=xxxxxx file=/tmp/expdat.dmp.pipe touser=xxxxxx grants=n indexes=y rows=y log=/oracle/imports/imp_MT.log analyze=n commit=y tables=( list of 229 tables) The problem is that only tables, indexes and triggers are imported. Other objects (such as FUNCTION,PACKAGE,PACKAGE BODY,PROCEDURE,SEQUENCE,SYNONYM and VIEW) are not imported. I don't want to import all 400 tables (taking too long and too much disk space), but I want to import these FUNCTION, PACKAGE ... objects which relates to those 229 tables. Is there a easy way to do that by setting something in parfile? TIA.
