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. ...

How to import an untrusted website certificate to the Java keystore

Java uses the keystore file named cacerts. It should already contain all trusted root CA certificates that are used to sign intermediate and leaf certificates. Leaf certificates are end user certificates that are used to secure websites with HTTPS. However, sometimes a root CA certificate might be missing from the Java keystore or a website might be using a self-signed certificate which will result in the following exception when you try to access the website from Java code: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target For me it happened with a certificate issued by COMODO. In this case the easiest solution is to add the website certificate to the Java keystore. Shortly, it requires exporting the certificate from the website, importing it into the keystore and restarting your Java application. Please b...

Managing Content Security Policy (CSP) in IBM MAS Manage

This article explores a new system property introduced in IBM MAS 8.11.0 and Manage 8.7.0+ that enhances security but can inadvertently break Google Maps functionality within Manage. We'll delve into the root cause, provide a step-by-step solution, and offer best practices for managing Content Security Policy (CSP) effectively. Understanding the issue IBM MAS 8.11.0 and Manage 8.7.0 introduced the mxe.sec.header.Content_Security_Policy   property, implementing CSP to safeguard against injection attacks. While beneficial, its default configuration restricts external resources, causing Google Maps and fonts to malfunction. CSP dictates which domains can serve various content types (scripts, images, fonts) to a web page. The default value in this property blocks Google-related domains by default. Original value font-src 'self' data: https://1.www.s81c.com *.walkme.com; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' ...
