To work with DB dumps you should use the special script dump.sh which can be typically found at /opt/hydra/oracle/scripts/dump.sh. It is necessary to access this script under the oracle user within an initialized environment. You can initialize environment for oracle user with sudo utility by using the following command:

sudo -u oracle -i

The script for DB dumps has the following starting options:

  • export — for exporting the dump. The dump is exported to the dump directory specified in the DB (typically, /var/oradata/dumps).
  • drop — for dropping of DB contents. Before dropping please make sure that the DB is not a production one.
  • import — for importing dump into the DB. Before importing the dump it is necessary to drop its contents. The dump imports from the dump directory specified in the DB (typically, /var/oradata/dumps). After the import is completed, the production mode is disabled.

Additional parameters of the script:

  • -i — the DB name
  • -o — the scheme name
  • -p — the AIS_NET user password
  • -f — the dump (dump file) name
  • -s — prevent displaying of DB drop warning

See below an example of using the script for dump transfer from DB hydra to hydra2:

  1. Export dump from hydra:

    /opt/hydra/oracle/scripts/dump.sh -i hydra -p password -f hydra_dump export

  2. Drop hydra2:

    /opt/hydra/oracle/scripts/dump.sh -i hydra2 -p password drop

  3. Import dump at hydra2:

    /opt/hydra/oracle/scripts/dump.sh -i hydra2 -p password -f hydra_dump import

    During the import of the dump to a new DB there may be some errors of the following kind:

    Failing sql is:
GRANT SELECT ON "AIS_NET"."SR_V_GOOD_SERVS" TO "NET_GOODS"
ORA-39083: Object type OBJECT_GRANT failed to create with error:
ORA-01917: user or role 'NET_GOODS' does not exist

    Such errors are not critical as the export script imports only the AIS_NET scheme. The missing roles are created within the DB with a separate script at the end of import procedure.


The backup procedure with the expdp utility (the dump.sh script) is highly resource-intensive. It is recommend to backup DB at time with the lowest server load (typically, from 2 am till 4 am).


You can cancel the unfinished export/import process by CTRL-C and with kill_job command:

...
. . exported "AIS_NET"."SS_JOB_LOGS"                     635.2 MB 1550063 rows
. . exported "AIS_NET"."SD_PROCESSING_REQUESTS_T"        563.8 MB    7204 rows
. . exported "AIS_NET"."SD_MV_DOCUMENTS"                 479.7 MB 3247473 rows
