You might consider using datapump import over a database link.  Works
for me and you can, via the API (dbms_datapump package)  at least,
exclude the tables you need to.  Course if your not on 11gR2 or better
xml schemas are a pain.

List,

  We have to refresh a QA database from production (to have some real
data) but we need to exclude all the PCI/PII from the refresh (it
absolutely cannot be copied from Prod to QA). In addition, we have GG
replication on Prod so anything we do is subject to that.

  What would be your approach?

  My idea was rman duplicate, but those pci/pii tables rule this out.

Oh, GG cannot be used due to firewall restrictions, we only have
database ports and SSH from Prod to QA

any ideas?
