importing a dmp file into Oracle 11g XE

Question

I have a few dmp files (generated by different a user) I need to import into MS SQL. I realize that I first need to import the files into Oracle (I have 11g XE).

My problem is that I can't figure our how to import the files into Oracle. I'm trying the impdp tool, but keep getting the following errors:

Processing object type TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/TABLE_DATA
ORA-39034: Table TABLE_DATA:"PO"."PO_VENDORS" does not exist.
ORA-39126: Worker unexpected fatal error in KUPW$WORKER.UPATE_TD_ROW_IMP [15] 
TABLE_DATA:"PO"."PO_VENDORS"
ORA-31603: object "PO_VENDORS" of type TABLE not found in schema "PO"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.KUPW$WORKER", line 8364

Tries with and without remap_tablespace, but not even sure what arguments to provide for remap.

Answer 1

From the logs; looks like you exported the table with parameter content=data_only and when you're importing it; Oracle expects the table structure & meta to be present. So either export without the content=data_only parameter - or if that's not possible; create the table and reimport.
