00000-00100: Import Messages

If you are using Trusted Oracle, see the Trusted Oracle documentation for information about error messages in that environment.

IMP-00000: import terminated unsuccessfully

Cause: Import encountered an Oracle error.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual, and take appropriate action.

IMP-00001: respond with either "Y", "N", "RETURN" or "." to quit

Cause: An invalid response was entered.

Action: Enter any of the responses shown in the message.

IMP-00002: failed to open name for read

Cause: Import failed to open the export file for reading. This message is usually followed by a device message from the operating system.

Action: Take appropriate action to restore the device.

IMP-00003: Oracle message code num encountered

Cause: Import encountered the referenced Oracle error.

Action: Look up the Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual, and take appropriate action.

IMP-00004: invalid username or password

Cause: An invalid username or password was specified.

Action: Retry with a valid username and password.

IMP-00005: all allowable logon attempts failed

Cause: An attempt was repeatedly made to log on with an invalid username or password.

Action: Retry with valid username and password.

IMP-00006: failed to allocate memory of size num

Cause: Import failed to allocate the necessary memory.

Action: Decrease the import buffer size so that less memory is required, or increase the runtime memory size for Import.

IMP-00007: must be a DBA to import objects to another user's account

Cause: The privileges needed to import into another user's account do not exist. Only a database administrator can import into another user's account.

Action: Ask the database administrator to do the import.

IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file: str

Cause: Import did not recognize a statement in the export file. Either the export file was corrupted, or an Import internal error has occurred.

Action: If the export file was corrupted, retry with a new export file. Otherwise, report this as an Import internal error and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file

Cause: The export file is probably from an aborted Export session.

Action: If so, retry the export and import. Otherwise, report this as an Import bug and submit the export file that caused this error to customer support.

IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification

Cause: Either the file was not generated by Export or it was corrupted.

Action: If the file was indeed generated by Export, report this an Import bug and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00011: formatted table data not currently supported

Cause: You tried to import an export file that contains formatted table data. Import only supports export files containing binary table data.

Action: Retry using an export file that contains only binary table data.

IMP-00012: invalid export mode num in header

Cause: The Export mode specified in the export file header is invalid.

Action: Check the export file to see if it was corrupted. If it was not, report this as an Import bug and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00013: only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA

Cause: The privileges needed to Import an export file generated by a database administrator do not exist. Only a database administrator can import such files.

Action: Ask the database administrator to do the import.

IMP-00014: option name is needed, but not present in database

Cause: The command entered requires the specified option. Either that option is not installed, or the row describing the option is missing from table V$OPTION.

Action: Reinstall Oracle with the option specified by the message.

IMP-00015: following statement failed because the object already exists: str

Cause: Import failed to create an object because it already exists.

Action: Specify IGNORE=Y to ignore such errors and import rows even when tables are not created because they already exist.

IMP-00016: required character set conversion (type num to num) not supported

Cause: Import could not convert the character format of the export file into the native character format.

Action: Change the user character set by setting the NLS_LANG environment variable to match the character set of the export file.

IMP-00017: following statement failed with Oracle message num: str

Cause: Import failed to execute the statement from the export file because of an Oracle error.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action.

IMP-00018: partial import of previous table complete: num rows imported

Cause: A table was only partially imported because of an Oracle error.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action.

IMP-00019: row rejected due to Oracle message code num

Cause: Import encountered the referenced Oracle error while trying to import a row.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action.

IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size num

Cause: The column buffer is too small. This usually occurs when importing LONG data.

Action: Increase the insert buffer size 10,000 bytes at a time up to 66,000 or greater (for example). Use this step-by-step approach because a buffer size that is too large may cause a similar problem.

IMP-00021: operating system error - error code (dec num, hex 0xnum)

Cause: An operating system error has occurred.

Action: Look up the referenced message in your operating system-specific Oracle documentation and take appropriate action.

IMP-00022: failed to process parameters, type "IMP HELP=Y" for help

Cause: Invalid command-line parameters were specified.

Action: Check the online help screen for the set of valid parameters, then retry.

IMP-00023: import views not installed, please notify your DBA

Cause: The necessary Import views were not installed.

Action: Ask your database administrator to install the required Import views.

IMP-00024: full import mode, cannot specify FROMUSER or TABLES parameter

Cause: Parameters were specified that conflict with the import specification FULL=Y.

Action: Retry, making sure not to specify FULL=Y.

IMP-00025: for DBA export files, FROMUSER must be specified with TOUSER

Cause: When importing a database administrator export file, you specified the TOUSER parameter but not the FROMUSER parameter.

Action: Specify the FROMUSER parameter so that Import knows which user's objects to import.

IMP-00027: failed to roll back partial import of previous table

Cause: Import encountered an Oracle error while trying to roll back a partial import.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action. Then, log on to Oracle and check that the partial import was not committed.

IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: num rows rolled back

Cause: Import encountered an Oracle error while trying to import a table.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action. Then, if necessary, re-import the table.

IMP-00029: cannot qualify table name by owner name.name, use FROMUSER parameter

Cause: A table name was qualified with the name of its owner, as shown in the following example. This is not allowed.

IMP SYSTEM/MANAGER TABLES=(SCOTT.EMP,SCOTT.DEPT) 

Action: Use the FROMUSER parameter to specify the table's owner, as shown in the following example:

IMP SYSTEM/MANAGER FROM USER=SCOTT TABLES=(EMP,DEPT)
IMP-00030: failed to create file name for write

Cause: Import was unable to create the specified file with write enabled.

Action: Check the file name and file system for the source of the error.

IMP-00031: must specify FULL=Y or provide FROMUSER/TOUSER or TABLE arguments

Cause: The database administrator did not specify full or partial import.

Action: The database administrator must specify FROMUSER/TOUSER or table arguments if not a full import.

IMP-00032: SQL statement exceeded buffer length

Cause: The buffer was too small for the SQL statement being read.

Action: Rerun with a larger buffer. This can also be an indication of a corruption in the import datafile.

IMP-00033: warning: Table name not found in export file

Cause: A table name was specified that does not exist in export file.

Action: Correct the table specification.

IMP-00034: warning: FROMUSER name not found in export file

Cause: The user specified a FROMUSER name that does not exist in export file.

Action: Correct the FROMUSER specification.

IMP-00036: could not find environment character set

Cause: An environment character set was specified that was not recognized by the Import utility.

Action: Ensure that the spelling of the character set specified in the command line parameter CHARSET (for Release 6 only) or the environment variable NLS_LANG is correct.

IMP-00037: character set marker unknown

Cause: The export file is corrupted.

Action: Try to obtain an uncorrupted version of the export file. If the export file is not corrupted, report this as an Import internal error and submit the export file to Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00038: could not find environment character set's handle

Cause: This is an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00039: VOLSIZE does not match the value used for export: num

Cause: The value specified for VOLSIZE does not match the value specified during the creation of the export file.

Action: If you believe that the specified VOLSIZE value is correct, verify that you specified the correct file for import. If you specified the correct file but are unsure about the correct value, re-execute the import command but specify VOLSIZE=0.

IMP-00040: FILESIZE does not match the value used for export: num

Cause: The value specified for FILESIZE does not match the value specified during the creation of the export file.

Action: If you believe the specified FILESIZE value is correct, verify that you specified the correct file for import. If you specified the correct file but are unsure about the correct value, re-execute the import command but specify FILESIZE=0.

IMP-00041: warning: object created with compilation warnings

Cause: The object in the SQL statement following this error was created with compilation errors. If this error occurred for a view, it is possible that the base table of the view was missing.

Action: This is a warning. The object may have to be recompiled before being used.

IMP-00042: CHARSET used, but the export file has specific character set

Cause: The user requested that a specific character set be used to process an export file that has a specific embedded character set ID. The ID in the export file is accurate and should be used.

Action: Remove the CHARSET keyword from the command line.

IMP-00043: export file character set inconsistent

Cause: The character set of the export file and the environment character set (or the character set specified with the CHARSET keyword) are inconsistent. One character set is ASCII-based while the other is EBCDIC based.

Action: Specify the correct character set with the CHARSET keyword.

IMP-00044: unable to allocate enough memory for statement

Cause: Import was unable to allocate sufficient memory to read in the specified statement and execute it.

Action: Increase the allocation for database buffers, restart the instance, and re-execute the Import command.

IMP-00045: using VOLSIZE value from export file of num

Cause: Either you did not specify the VOLSIZE parameter in your IMPORT command, or you specified VOLSIZE=0 and the export was created with a non-zero value for VOLSIZE. Import will use the value specified in the export file.

Action: None required.

IMP-00046: using FILESIZE value from export file of num

Cause: Either you did not specify the FILESIZE parameter in your IMPORT command, or you specified FILESIZE=0 and the export file was created with a non-zero value for FILESIZE. Import will use the value specified in the export file.

Action: None required.

IMP-00050: dump file and log file cannot be identical

Cause: Identical names were given to the dump file and log file.

Action: Specify different names for the dump file and log file and retry the operation.

IMP-00051: direct path exported dump file contains illegal column length

Cause: An invalid column length was encountered while processing column pieces.

Action: Check to make sure the export file is not corrupted, or else report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import/Export internal bug and submit the export file.

IMP-00052: warning: Unable to set event for freelist communication with server

Cause: An event could not be set for current the session.

Action: If Import fails, give the Import user ALTER SESSION PRIV and retry the operation.

IMP-00053: import mode incompatible with Export dump file

Cause: The specified import option is incompatible with point-in-time-recovery dump file.

Action: Generate a proper dump file or use point-in-time-recovery import mode.

IMP-00054: must be a DBA to do Tablespace Point-in-time Recovery import

Cause: The user does not have the privileges to perform Tablespace Point-in-time Recovery import.

Action: Ask your database administrator to perform the Tablespace Point-in-time Recovery import.

IMP-00055: warning: partition name.name not found in export file

Cause: A partition name was specified that does not exist in export file.

Action: Check to make sure the partition name belongs to the table.

IMP-00057: warning: Dump file may not contain data of all partitions of this table

Cause: The dump file used for this Table Import might not contain all of the data belonging to the exported table.

Action: Check to see if the export was done as intended, or try performing a Partition Import.

IMP-00059: failure to initialize parameter manager

Cause: Parameter manager failed in initialization.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal bug.

IMP-00060: warning: Skipping table name.name because object type name.name does not exist or has different identifier

Cause: An object type needed by the table, either does not exist on the target system or, if it does exist, it has a different object identifier.

Action: Create the object type on the target system with a valid identifier.

IMP-00061: warning: Object type name.name already exists with a different identifier

Cause: An object type cannot be created because it already exists on the target system, but with a different identifier.

Action: Drop the object type from the target system and retry the operation.

IMP-00062: warning: The identifier on the dump file for object type name.name is invalid

Cause: The character string representing the object type's identifier could not be converted to an object identifier.

Action: Internal error.

IMP-00063: warning: Skipping table name.name because object type name.name cannot be created or has different identifier

Cause: An error occurred creating an object type that is used by the table.

Action: Examine the import log to determine why the object type could not be created. If the object type already existed, with a different object identifier, then drop the object type and retry the import.

IMP-00064: definition of LOB was truncated by export

Cause: While producing the dump file, Export was unable to write the entire contents of a LOB. Import is therefore unable to reconstruct the contents of the LOB. The remainder of the import of the current table will be skipped.

Action: Delete the offending row in the exported database and retry the export.

IMP-00065: import is unable to recreate lobs within objects.

Cause: An error occurred recreating a LOB within an imported object.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00066: missing NLS_CHARACTERSET in props$

Cause: No value for NLS_CHARACTERSET in props$.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00067: could not convert the server character set's handle

Cause: This is an internal error.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00068: could not find environment national character set

Cause: An environment national character set was specified that was not recognized by the Import utility.

Action: Ensure that the spelling of the national character set specified in the environment variable NLS_NCHAR is correct.

IMP-00069: could not convert to environment national character set's handle

Cause: This is an internal error.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00070: LOB definitions in dump file are inconsistent with database

Cause: The number of LOBS per row in the dump file is different than the number of LOBS per row in the table being populated.

Action: Modify the table being imported so that it matches the attribute layout of the table that was exported.

IMP-00071: object identifier of imported table mismatches object identifier of existing table

Cause: An attempt was made to import data into a table that was recreated under a different object identifier than the object identifier used for the exported object table. Under this situation, REF's to this table that are contained within the dump file will also be invalid.

Action: Drop the offending object table prior to import.

IMP-00072: warning: the object table's object identifier is invalid

Cause: The character string representing the table's object identifier could not be converted to an internal object identifier.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00073: FILE locator name.name is truncated to name.name

Cause: The conversion of the specified directory and name strings for a file attribute or column from the export server's character set into the import server's character set exceeded the maximum string lengths allowed within FILE descriptors. The strings will be truncated to the maximum supported lengths.

Action: Rename the directory aliases and external filenames to match the truncated names in the specified FILE column or attribute.

IMP-00074: the constraints flagged by ALL_CONSTRAINTS.BAD will break in 2000 A.D

Cause: Constraints exist in the data base that specify date values without fully specifying the year. These constraints could break in the year 2000 A.D.

Action: Query ALL_CONSTRAINTS and correct those constraints marked as bad.

IMP-00075: warning: the nested table may contain partial rows or duplicate rows

Cause: An error occurred inserting data into an outer or inner nested table. If the error occurred in the outer table, rows are still inserted into the inner tables. If the error occurred in an inner table, data is still inserted into the outer table and other inner tables. This can result in duplicate inner table rows or partial logical rows.

Action: Examine the data in the tables. Delete the incorrect rows or drop the entire table and perform the import again.

IMP-00076: missing NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET in props$

Cause: No value for NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET in props$.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00077: could not convert to server national character set's handle

Cause: Internal error.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00078: cannot translate FILE locator to name.name in server character set

Cause: (1) The current export dump file was generated using Beta-2 of Oracle8.0 AND (2) there was a File that appeared as an attribute of an ADT within a table's column AND (3) the character set of the export server's database was different than the character set of the import server's database AND (4) when the filename or the aliasname of the File increased in size when it was translated to the character set of the import server.

When all of these conditions are true, translation of the strings could yield corruption of the data in the column. Rather than proceeding with the translation, import will leave the character strings in the File in the old character set.

Action: After import completes, rename the directory aliases and external filenames to match the real names used for the target database.

IMP-00079: warning: national character set data in this table may be incorrect

Cause: Due to a problem in 8.0.2 Export, national character data in NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 columns was incorrectly assumed to be in the export server's data base character set and was converted to the export client's data base character set. This conversion would only be correct if the export server's data base character set was the same as the export server's national character set and the export client's data base character set was the same as the export client's national character set. All other combinations would likely be incorrect. This export dump file was generated by 8.0.2 Export and the export client and server characater sets did not fit that criteria.

Action: Examine the national character data. If incorrect, update the data with correct data.

IMP-00080: error during character conversion of long column or long command

Cause: During piecewise character conversion of the data in a long column or of a long command, a fatal conversion error occurred. Either character truncation occurred or an invalid character set handle was used.

Action: Retry the import with a different character set.

IMP-00081: attempt to free unallocated memory

Cause: An attempt was made to free memory that was not allocated.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00082: error during conversion ROWID from string format to internal

Cause: An error occurred while attempting to convert a ROWID from an export dump file into an internal format.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00083: dump file does not contain an incremental export

Cause: An incremental import was requested and the dump file specified for the import command is either a user or table export.

Action: Reissue the command import command but specify the name of a dump file containing an incremental export.

IMP-00084: attempt to mix incremental import with user or table import

Cause: An incremental import was requested along with the FROMUSER, TOUSER, or TABLE qualifier. An incremental import cannot be done if any of these other qualifiers are also specified.

Action: Determine whether you want to do an incremental import, full import, user import or table import and reissue the import command with the appropriate qualifiers.

IMP-00085: unexpected file sequence number; expected %u but found %u

Cause: The header in the export file contains a sequence number that is used to track the order in which multiple export files are written. The first export file is assigned sequence number one, the second file is assigned sequence number two and so on. This message is displayed when a number other than the expected sequence number is found in the file header

Action: Execute the import command again, but specify the files in the order in which Export wrote them.

IMP-00086: mismatched file header

Cause: During verification of the 2nd or subsequent file in a multi-file export, Import found header fields in the file that did not match values in the first file.

Action: Check the names of the files created by Export and verify that you specified them correctly for the import operation.

IMP-00215: Enter name of the next file in the export file set.
