Csscan and Export/import to change to al32utf8

chijarJan 11 2018 — edited Jan 17 2018

Hi fellows,

Facts: 11.1.0.6 Oracle Enterprise single instance

OS: Red hat 6    

I need to change character set and we decided to use Csscan and Export/import method. this was already checked and we will do that.

in some part of documents on metalink they described:

"3c) Oracle database 11.2.0.2 and lower ( including 11gR1 and 10g)

DMU requires a serverside patch 9825461 for databases who are on a version lower than 11.2.0.3.

This means DMU can be used to change a database on a version / platform combination for which patch 9825461 is available.

Using Csscan and Csalter or Csscan and Export/import is the only way to go to AL32UTF8 for versions / platforms who are not supported by DMU.

Using Csscan and Csalter  to go to AL32UTF8 is documented in Note 260192.1 Changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode) in 8i, 9i , 10g and 11g."

and check this url: http://askdba.org/weblog/2008/04/changing-database-characterset-with-exportimport-utilities/

So please, we only have one doubt.

In case we need to restore through impdp what would be steps:?

1.- setting export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

2.- restore with whicch parameters in import? impdp?

thank you
