exp & expdp: Export file to remote server

Source Server: orcl12c.oraworld.com/192.168.8.120/orcl12c
Target Server: orcl11g.oraworld.com/192.168.8.113/orcl11g

In the Source Database (db12c) I have the Schema "DGOMEZ" created and that schema has the table "MYTABLE". We will work with this schema.

[oracle@orcl12c ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.1.0 Production on Tue Feb 10 22:24:18 2015

SQL> select table_name from dba_tables where owner='DGOMEZ';

TABLE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MYTABLE

SQL>

Prerequisite:
The most important prerequisite is to have a tns entry in the Target Server (db11g) pointing to the database from we will extract the export , in other words from the Source Server (db12c).

The following tns entry is in my Target Server (db11g):

[oracle@orcl11g ~]$ cat $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2/db_1//network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ORCL12C =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db12c)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl2)
)
)

Method 1: Using exp

Using this method the advantage is that we need only the tns entry and that's all. This method is the easiest one.

Currently the directory where we will create the file is empty (in Target Server):

[oracle@orcl11g target]$ pwd
/home/oracle/target
[oracle@orcl11g target]$ ls -ltr
total 0
[oracle@orcl11g target]$

Let's create the export:

[oracle@orcl11g target]$ exp system@ORCL12C file=/home/oracle/target/dgomez.dmp log=/home/oracle/target/dgomez.log owner=dgomez

Export: Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production on Thu Feb 12 23:40:57 2015

[oracle@orcl11g target]$

Verification: You can see that the directory in Target file now has the dump file and its log.

[oracle@orcl11g target]$ pwd
/home/oracle/target
[oracle@orcl11g target]$ ls -ltr
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 1416 Feb 12 23:47 dgomez.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 16384 Feb 12 23:47 dgomez.dmp
[oracle@orcl11g target]$

Method 2: Using expdp

This method has the advantage that it uses data pump which is better than exp regarding performance and other things. The disadvantage is that we must have one database running in Target Database because we must have one Oracle Directory.

In my Target database I will use the following Instance in order to create the Oracle Directory:

[oracle@orcl11g target]$ ps -ef |grep pmon
oracle 2523 2265 0 23:49 pts/1 00:00:00 grep pmon
grid 3448 1 0 Feb11 ? 00:00:16 asm_pmon_+ASM
oracle 3770 1 0 Feb11 ? 00:00:19 ora_pmon_orcl
[oracle@orcl11g target]$

Creating the Oracle Directory:

SQL> create directory dumptarget as '/home/oracle/target';

Directory created.

SQL> grant read,write on directory dumptarget to system;

Grant succeeded.

SQL>

We also need a database link created in the database running in the Target Server:

SQL> create public database link dumptarget connect to system identified by manager1 using 'ORCL12C';

Database link created.

Let's see the directory in Target Server that we will use to store the dump files:

[oracle@orcl11g target]$ pwd
/home/oracle/target
[oracle@orcl11g target]$ ls -ltr
total 0
[oracle@orcl11g target]$

As you can see it is empty.

Now, let's do the export:

Network_link: The database link.
Directory: The Oracle Directory.

[oracle@orcl11g target]$ expdp system/manager1 directory=dumptarget dumpfile=dgomez.dmp logfile=dgomez.log network_link=dumptarget schemas=dgomez
