Hello,

I am exporting the schema and place the dump file in three different directories...
At the end,i wanted to load the dump files into another database.

Here is the export parfile content. Export is successfully completed.

userid=system/password@orcl 
logfile=schemaexp_split.log 
directory=(dump1,dump2,dump3)
dump1dumpfile=dump1:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump2:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump3:schemaexp_%U.dmp 
schemas=scott
include=table

How can i import these dump files into target server?.
I am using the below parfile content..

userid=system/password@ordb 
logfile=schemaimp_split.log 
directory=dumplocation
dumpfile=dump1:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump2:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump3:schemaexp_%U.dmp 
table_exists_action=replace
remap_tablespace=res:users 
exclude=grant

Here is the error message when i run the imp parfile.

C:\impexpdp>impdp parfile=splitdumpimp3.par

It says, DUMP1 is invalid. But export wrote the dump file on this directory successfully....

Any help is appreicated...

This is a shoot from the hip response where I have not had my 1st cup of coffee this morning.

A similar error can occur where version differences exist between exp & imp; typically exp is higher version than imp.

You decided we did not need to know Oracle versions involved in your situation.

Are you sure?
I do not have 10gR1 around, so I cannot test it.
Tested with 10gR2 and 11g.
directory parameter cannot take multiple values.
Either you are not telling us the whole story
or
My eyes have deceived me and misunderstood your post.

oracle#cat par.par
directory=(dir1,dir2) 
dumpfile=dir1:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dir2:schemaexp_%U.dmp  

oracle#expdp dbadmin/xxx parfile=par.par
LRM-00112: multiple values not allowed for parameter 'directory'
LRM-00113: error when processing file 'par.par'

Also,
values specified in DUMPFILE will override DIRECTORY value.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_export.htm#sthref96

Look into logfiles for expdp.
You must see something like this

Dump file set for SCOTT.SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_01 is:
  /export/home/oracle/a10/schemaexp_01.dmp

Verify it.Post the log for expdp.

Meanwhile,
What is the OS?
Are you using environment variable DATA_PUMP_DIR?

Mahesh, There was a mistake in my first post in this thread. My expdp parfile content was wrong...
But anyhow, i did not have any issues on expdp. I have concern only on impdp.
I am testing this in my local machine and i am using Windows XP.

Here is the parfile content for expdp.

userid=system/password@orcl 
logfile=schemaexp_split.log 
directory=dumplocation
dumpfile=dump1:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump2:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump3:schemaexp_%U.dmp 
schemas=scott
include=table

Here is the parfile content for impdp.

userid=system/password@ordb 
logfile=schemaimp_split.log 
directory=dumplocation
dumpfile=dump1:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump2:schemaexp_%U.dmp,dump3:schemaexp_%U.dmp
table_exists_action=replace

I was using oracle10gR1 and expdp run successfully and placed the dump file in three different location.
When i use impdp, it was not reading dumpfile from three different location... I am not sure that
i have made some mistake or there was a bug in oracle10gR1.

Now i upgraded to Oracle10gR2. Now import is successfully completetd and it read the dump file from three different location.
When i use Oracle10gR1, the same impdp parfile content did not work.

Here is the version i am using now.

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    10.2.0.1.0      Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

Anyhow, thank you for your time here and appreciate your help.

Once again Thank you!!!.
