Had and old export dump file I wanted to import into RDS.
I first tried to use S3 as a hosting site for the .dmp file and use rdsadmin.rdsadmin_s3_tasks.download_from_s3 to copy the file to the RDS database then import it with DBMS_DATAPUMP.
Unfortunately DBMS_DATAPUMP only works with expdp files so instead of using DBMS_DATAPUMP , I got the old “imp” binary and used it with TWO_TASK to the RDS database I wanted it loaded into.
For the record here were the steps I took
First put the file into an S3 bucket called
kylelf-datadumpCreate an IAM policy to allow Amazon RDS access to an Amazon S3 bucket
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/oracle-s3-integration.html#oracle-s3-integration.preparing
My policy looks like
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:ListBucket"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::kylelf-datadump"
}
]
}
Create an IAM role to allow Amazon RDS access to an Amazon S3 bucket
again, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/oracle-s3-integration.html#oracle-s3-integration.preparing
add the role to the database you want to import into
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.
Choose the Oracle DB instance name to display its details.
On the Connectivity & security tab, in the Manage IAM roles section, choose the role to add under Add IAM roles to this instance.
For Feature, choose S3_INTEGRATION.create s3 option group
create an option group
add s3 integration to option group
modify instance, change option group to s3 option group
Then download the dump file from S3.
SELECT rdsadmin.rdsadmin_s3_tasks.download_from_s3(
p_bucket_name => 'kylelf-datadump',
p_directory_name => 'DATA_PUMP_DIR')
AS TASK_ID FROM DUAL;
TASK_ID

Check status of download
SELECT text FROM table(rdsadmin.rds_file_util.read_text_file(‘BDUMP’,’dbtask-1583185124793-43.log’));
Check to see the file is there

Now import it
DECLARE

DBMS_DATAPUMP.ADD_FILE( handle => hdnl, filename => 'TC1.dmp', directory => 'DATA_PUMP_DIR', filetype => dbms_datapump.ku$_file_type_dump_file);

/This gave me the error

Now I can see the error better:
39001: ORA-39001: invalid argument value
-39000: ORA-39000: bad dump file specification
-39143: ORA-39143: dump file "/rdsdbdata/datapump/TC1.dmp" may be an original
export dump file
Looking this up via google, indicates that this is an old “exp” dump file and is not compatible with “impdp”
Thus have use old imp tool
Off of OTN
https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/linux-x86-64-downloads.html
I got

sudo rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient19.6-tools-19.6.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpmThen copy the TC1.dmp file to the EC2
Then use TWO_TASK to point to my database
export TWO_TASK='(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ora19.xxxxxxxx.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)))‘
/usr/lib/oracle/19.6/client64/bin/imp user/pw file=TC1.dmp FROMUSER=’scott’ TOUSER=’kylelf’
also had a hiccup because the first database I used was 11.2 and the imp is from 19.0 distribution so got error
IIMP-00003: ORACLE error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
IMP-00023: Import views not installed, please notify your DBA
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
So bad to create a version 19 Oracle database and then the import worked
