oracle_impdp_current_lib failing; Java call terminated

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 18.01

Description:
I've been working with our Oracle support to get the import/export using the Oracle data pump working.

I've been using the smallest of our libraries, ABC12 as the test subject, exporting data from our production instance with oracle_expdp_current_lib and using oracle_impdp_current_lib in our Test instance to import it.

After several false starts due to Oracle permission problems, we have the export working but the import is failing. See log file /exlibris/aleph/u18_2/alephe/scratch/abc12_impdp_oct14.log.

We performed the commands in KB 16384-15683, but got this error while running the oracle_expdp_current_lib.sql:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.SecurityException: policy table update SYS:java.io.FilePermission, /bin/chmod
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JAVA", line 313


We ran the oracle_impdp_current_lib for ABC12 again and got these messages:

ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39070: Unable to open the log file.
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 475
ORA-29283: invalid file operation

Resolution:
The directory /exlibris/aleph/u18_2/nov12/files/dpdir lacked the 'w' privlege for 'all' which prevented the Oracle user from writing a log file to it.

We changed it and re-ran the import, which then succeeded.
