Expdp of Table Returns ORA-39166 or ORA-31655 in Oracle Database

Expdp of  Table Returns ORA-39166 or ORA-31655 in Oracle Database


Certain system-generated schemas, such as SYS, MDSYS, and ORDSYS, cannot be exported using exp or expdp because they hold Oracle-managed data and metadata. These schemas are essential for the internal functioning of the database and are excluded from export operations.

Additionally, some tables owned by users like SYS or APEX_040200 are automatically skipped during export. These tables are also not eligible for export, even if explicitly specified, as they contain Oracle's internal data.

For example, certain tables owned by SYSTEM user like below cannot be exported:

% expdp system/<PASSWORD> directory=<DIRECTORY_NAME> tables='<TABLE_NAME>'

ORA-39166: Object SYSTEM.<TABLE_NAME> was not found or could not be exported or imported.
ORA-31655: no data or metadata objects selected for job
Job "SYSTEM"."SYS_EXPORT_TABLE_01" completed with 2 error(s) 

Objects (tables, views, schemas, etc) which fall under either of below conditions are not exported with expdp because they are regarded as system maintained objects.

  • Object is listed in ku_noexp_view.
  • This view is a union of ku_noexp_tab and noexp$ tables.
  • Objects that are listed in this view are not exported.

Object is ORACLE_MAINTAINED='Y' in ALL_OBJECTS (and DBA_OBJECTS).
 

If you wish to export such non-exportable table, create a copy of that table in a user schema, and export that copied table.

eg.
create table <copied_table_name> as select * from <table_you_wish_to_export>;

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file.
