exp/imp not working via 3rd party tool

SmohibFeb 12 2020 — edited Feb 22 2020

Hi All,

client has shared export dump files and informed to validate them by importing into a test database.

background:

export dump files are generated via 3rd party tool using "exp" utility.

issue:

when i try to import i get below error.

Warning: the objects were exported by abcd, not by you

import done in AL32UTF8 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set

export client uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)

. importing abcd's objects into abcd

. . importing table                "table1"          0 rows imported

IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 1917:

"GRANT SELECT ON "table1" TO "user1""

IMP-00003: ORACLE error 1917 encountered

ORA-01917: user or role 'user1' does not exist

About to enable constraints...

Import terminated successfully with warnings.

research done:

source and target databases have same character set ie; AL32UTF8

select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'; ==>AL32UTF8

source is on 11.2.0.3 EE

target is on 11.2.0.4 EE

i tried as below but of no use.

set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252

export NLS_LANG

imp test123/test123 file=table1.dmp log=table1.log fromuser=abcd touser=test123

"GRANT SELECT ON "table1" TO "user1""

IMP-00003: ORACLE error 1917 encountered

ORA-01917: user or role 'user1' does not exist

user1 does not exist in target database - exists in source

should i create user1 in target database and grant select privilege..? as i need only table1 to be imported into abcd (abcd schema exists in target)

Thanks,

Mohib
