ORA-01659: unable to allocate MINEXTENTS beyond 2 in tablespace SYSTEM

archfiendMar 7 2015 — edited Mar 13 2015

Hello


I am facing the below error when trying to import a Oracle 11g R2 data dump (using impdp), into a Oracle 11g Express Edition Schema.

ORA-01659: unable to allocate MINEXTENTS beyond 2 in tablespace SYSTEM

I simply cannot figure out why a reference to the SYSTEM tablespace is being shown in the above error.


I am listing the DDL statements I used to set-up the target Schema on a Windows XP SP3 machine.

The source machine running Oracle 11g R2 is also on Windows XP SP3.


CREATE TABLESPACE SCHM1

   DATAFILE 'C:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\ORADATA\XE\SCHM1.DBF'

   SIZE 500M

   AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 200M MAXSIZE 5120M

   EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 2M

   PERMANENT

   ONLINE

   LOGGING;

---------

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE SCHM1_TEMP

  TEMPFILE 'C:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\ORADATA\XE\SCHM1_TEMP.DBF'

  SIZE 100M;

---------

CREATE USER "SCHM1" PROFILE "DEFAULT" IDENTIFIED BY "SCHM1" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "SCHM1" TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "SCHM1_TEMP" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON "SCHM1" ACCOUNT UNLOCK;


Just for reference, I am also putting the import command I have been using -

impdp SCHM1/SCHM1 dumpfile=ORCL_DOT12_EXPDP.DMP logfile=SCHM1_impdp_07Mar2015


Earlier, I have successfully imported Oracle dumps (from other different Schemas) into Oracle Express Schemas without any hitch.

I am obviously going wrong somewhere but am unable to make out where.

Please help :-)
