Hiya,
I was running a from user-touser import and my import operation got hung midway. There was nothing in the logs. There was plenty of space available. The cpu cycles and memeory was sufficient. Infact the server was practically idle. I added more datafiles to the tablespace. That didn't help either. Eventually somehow I was thrown out of the ssh session. I had to restart the import. I have 3 questions around this:
1)What could be the reason for the hang?
2)When doing a re-run of the import operation, is IGNORE=y the nest option?
3)What should be taken care of whilst re-running the operation? Should the user be dropped and re-created?
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Rob

1) Maybe you got to a big table with a LONG datatype, which would bring the import to a crawl.
2 & 3) What kind of import? User or entire database?

In addition to JOY how many partitions table you have and data inside the tables.

No need because you using IGNORE clause,better if you can do.

When you say there was plenty of space available, do you mean space in the database or space on the filesystem where archive logs/alert logs/autoextensible tablespaces reside?
