Error Importing a .dmp file in AWS RDS Oracle DB

Question

I have followed the AWS Importing Data into RDS guide.

I have copied the .dmp file from Source Oracle Instance on another machine to the DATA_DUMP_DIR on RDS Instance.

Now I am trying to import it using the code below:

DECLARE
hdnl NUMBER;
BEGIN
hdnl := DBMS_DATAPUMP.OPEN( operation => 'IMPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name=>null);
DBMS_DATAPUMP.ADD_FILE( handle => hdnl, filename => 'sample_copied.dmp', directory => 'DATA_PUMP_DIR', filetype => dbms_datapump.ku$_file_type_dump_file);
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(hdnl,'SCHEMA_EXPR','IN (''CORE_API'',''CORE_DAP'', ''CORE_MD'', ''CORE_ST'', ''CORE_BI'', ''CORE_MAPI'', ''CORE_MAPI_LOG'', ''CORE_LEG'')');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP(hdnl,'REMAP_TABLESPACE','LOG','STORAGE_DATA');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP(hdnl,'REMAP_TABLESPACE','CORE_LEG_TBS','LEG_DATA');
dbms_datapump.metadata_transform ( hdnl, 'OID' , 0 , null ) ;
DBMS_DATAPUMP.START_JOB(hdnl);
END;
/ 

When I execute above in sqlplus, I get:

DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 3507
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 3756
ORA-06512: at line 5

How do I get the above to work? AWS Doc is very abstract & rest of the stuff I found isn't helping either.

Answer 1

1)Connect to the RDS instance with the Amazon RDS master user account.

2) Run this pl/sql block

    DECLARE
    hdnl NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    hdnl := DBMS_DATAPUMP.OPEN( operation => 'IMPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name=>null);
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.ADD_FILE( handle => hdnl, filename => 'sample_copied.dmp', directory => 'DATA_PUMP_DIR', filetype => dbms_datapump.ku$_file_type_dump_file);
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(hdnl,'SCHEMA_EXPR','IN (''CORE_API'',''CORE_DAP'', ''CORE_MD'', ''CORE_ST'', ''CORE_BI'', ''CORE_MAPI'', ''CORE_MAPI_LOG'', ''CORE_LEG'')');
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP(hdnl,'REMAP_TABLESPACE','LOG','STORAGE_DATA');
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP(hdnl,'REMAP_TABLESPACE','CORE_LEG_TBS','LEG_DATA');
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.START_JOB(hdnl);
    END;

3) You can start importing from a Source Oracle Instance. Example

impdp RDS_master_user/password@rds_instance DUMPFILE=sample_copied.dmp   DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR parfile=import_parfile

import_parfile

REMAP_TABLESPACE=LOG:STORAGE_DATA
REMAP_TABLESPACE=CORE_LEG_TBS:LEG_DATA
SCHEMAS =CORE_API,CORE_DAP,CORE_MD,CORE_ST,CORE_BI,CORE_MAPI,CORE_MAPI_LOG, CORE_LEG
