Is shell's next line character '\' the cause of this issue ?
Oracle version: 11.2.0.1 /Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
Hi,
impdp is a command line utility in oracle to import data into a DB schema.
Typically impdp command along with its parameters is run in a single line like
For better readability , I thought of putting each parameter on a separate line by using ' \ ' character as the next line indictor (not sure what is this called in Shell scripting terminology ). Is it New line indicator/separator or Next line separator ?
When I run the below shellscript which has three impdp commands , the second impdp fails with below error (error message is misleading, I think) but the 1st and 3rd impdp commands were succesfull. I have faced this wierd issue several times.
error I received for the second import:
I don't understand why I get "unable to open dump file" because the dumpfile is present and moreover the two other impdp commands which uses the same dumpfile (1st and 3rd) were succesfull.
Additional Info
===================
Info on very similair issue I had last week
Last week , I had very similair issue. I put 5 impdp commands in a similair script. I don't know if it is a co-incidence , but then also , it was the second impdp that failed with the same error. This is why I am suspecting that something has between the 1st sucessfull impdp and the second impdp command. Anything wrong with the new line indicator shown in red above ?
Good day ladies and gents,
I'm trying to write shell code that can give ignore everything else in a line bar the last character but not having much luck.
Any ideas? I have been looking at cut and sed but not making any progress. (3 Replies)
Hello.
I have a file (old.txt) that I need to copy into another file (new.txt).
Each line on old.txt ends with CR/LF but the position of CR/LF varies from one record to another.
I need to copy each line of record to new.txt and move CR/LF in pos 165.
Can I use awk to achieve this? How?... (8 Replies)
