Using Oracle impdp utility to reload database

Here I'll show an example of using Oracle Data Pump Import (impdp) utility. It allows importing Oracle data dumps. Specifically, below is the list of steps I used on an existing Oracle schema to reload the data from a dump.
Steps to reload the data from an Oracle dump
  • We start with logging into SQL Plus as sysdba to be able to manage users. 
    sqlplus sys/password@test as sysdba
  • Dropping the existing user. CASCADE clause will ensure that all schema objects are removed before the user. 
    SQL> DROP USER test CASCADE;
  • Creating a fresh user will automatically create an empty schema with the same name. 
    SQL> CREATE USER test IDENTIFIED BY "testpassword";
  • Granting DBA role to the user to load the dump later. Actually, it's an overkill and loading the dump can be permitted using a more granular role IMP_FULL_DATABASE. 
    SQL> GRANT DBA TO test;
  • Registering the directory where the dump is located. 
    SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY dump_dir AS '/home/test/dumpdir';
  • Running import utility using the created user. REMAP_TABLESPACE may be needed if you want to remap the tablespace name from OLDUSERSPACE that was used in the original schema to the default USERS. 
    impdp test/testpassword@localhost/test DIRECTORY=dump_dir DUMPFILE=test.dmp LOGFILE=imp.log REMAP_TABLESPACE=OLDUSERSPACE:USERS
Once the process is completed, the log file will contain the list of operations including all created schema objects.

Connection to Amazon Neptune endpoint from EKS during development

This small article will describe how to connect to Amazon Neptune database endpoint from your PC during development. Amazon Neptune is a fully managed graph database service from Amazon. Due to security reasons direct connections to Neptune are not allowed, so it's impossible to attach a public IP address or load balancer to that service. Instead access is restricted to the same VPC where Neptune is set up, so applications should be deployed in the same VPC to be able to access the database. That's a great idea for Production however it makes it very difficult to develop, debug and test applications locally. The instructions below will help you to create a tunnel towards Neptune endpoint considering you use Amazon EKS - a managed Kubernetes service from Amazon. As a side note, if you don't use EKS, the same idea of creating a tunnel can be implemented using a Bastion server . In Kubernetes we'll create a dedicated proxying pod. Prerequisites. Setting up a tunnel.

Notes on upgrade to JSF 2.1, Servlet 3.0, Spring 4.0, RichFaces 4.3

This article is devoted to an upgrade of a common JSF Spring application. Time flies and there is already Java EE 7 platform out and widely used. It's sometimes said that Spring framework has become legacy with appearance of Java EE 6. But it's out of scope of this post. Here I'm going to provide notes about the minimal changes that I found required for the upgrade of the application from JSF 1.2 to 2.1, from JSTL 1.1.2 to 1.2, from Servlet 2.4 to 3.0, from Spring 3.1.3 to 4.0.5, from RichFaces 3.3.3 to 4.3.7. It must be mentioned that the latest final RichFaces release 4.3.7 depends on JSF 2.1, JSTL 1.2 and Servlet 3.0.1 that dictated those versions. This post should not be considered as comprehensive but rather showing how I did the upgrade. See the links for more details. Jetty & Tomcat. JSTL. JSF & Facelets. Servlet. Spring framework. RichFaces. Jetty & Tomcat First, I upgraded the application to run with the latest servlet container versio

DynamicReports and Spring MVC integration

This is a tutorial on how to exploit DynamicReports reporting library in an existing  Spring MVC based web application. It's a continuation to the previous post where DynamicReports has been chosen as the most appropriate solution to implement an export feature in a web application (for my specific use case). The complete code won't be provided here but only the essential code snippets together with usage remarks. Also I've widely used this tutorial that describes a similar problem for an alternative reporting library. So let's turn to the implementation description and start with a short plan of this how-to: Adding project dependencies. Implementing the Controller part of the MVC pattern. Modifying the View part of the MVC pattern. Modifying web.xml. Adding project dependencies I used to apply Maven Project Builder throughout my Java applications, thus the dependencies will be provided in the Maven format. Maven project pom.xml file: net.sourcefo
