Hi, I'm having problems when I do export with expdp of my database .. It is a large database (130GB). I have ORA-31693, ORA-02354, ORA-01555, ORA-00604, ORA-08180, ORA-06512 errors. Export script calls firstly to another script for getting flashback_scn value (it is saved running "select FLASHBACK_SCN='||TO_CHAR(dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number) from dual;"), and it saves it in a .par file (export script uses this .par file then). I've seen this thread: https://forums.oracle.com/thread/983391?tstart=14 I will try that, the last reply, is it correct? Or I can have the same errors if my database backup takes many time? It takes 7-8 hrs for doing export. Thanks beforehand. Regards... -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
