Description:
We are using Oracle Data Pump to migrate Oracle data from the v18 server to the v20 server.

I tried 'grant JAVA_ADMIN to aleph_admin WITH ADMIN OPTION' but got the error
ORA-01919: role 'JAVA_ADMIN' does not exist

How can I proceed with the Oracle Data Pump?

Resolution:
This error means that JAVA_ADMIN role doesn’t exist in your database. In this case run Oracle Data Pump export and gzip the output file even if you are not going to transfer it anywhere:

csh -f util/zip_after_expdp.csh

Then run the import (no need to unzip the file). This would eliminate the need for the JAVA_ADMIN role.

Additional information
The zip_after_expdp.csh proc requires the oracle password. If you don't know that, you can execute the commands in the script zip_after_expdp.csh manually one by one:

$ su - root
# su - oracle
