Im writing a shellscript that loads a remote schema into my database using impdp network_link
all goes well. Only once I add the FLASHBACK_TIME I got error below;
ORA-31693: Table data object "<TABLE_OWNER>"."<TABLE_NAME>" failed to load/
nload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-02063: preceding line from <DATABASE_NAME>

Here is my impdp command;

${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/impdp
USERID=${_DB_IMPDP_USERNAME}/${_DB_IMPDP_PASSWORD}@${OPT_DB_TARGET}
JOB_NAME=${_IMPDP_JOBNAME}
NETWORK_LINK=${OPT_DB_SOURCE}
SCHEMAS=${OPT_DB_SCHEMA}
PARALLEL=${_DB_IMPDP_PARALLEL}
NOLOGFILE=Y
FLASHBACK_TIME=systimestamp
KEEP_MASTER=Y

_impdp_return_code=$?
echo "IMPDP exit code = ${_impdp_return_code}";
if [ ! ${_impdp_return_code} -eq 0 ] ; then
program_error ${ERR_DATAPUMP_IMP} ${_IMPDP_JOBNAME}
fi
.
.

What? My database link user (username of database / network_ link OPT_DB_SOURCE) does
have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE system privilege already on the database it connects to.
Luckily this one has an easy fix, as per metalink note; Doc ID 436106.1 Ora-01031: Insufficient
Privileges, When Using The Flashback_time Option with EXPDP/IMPDP Network_link
(https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=436106.1)
User needs FLASHBACK (any) table privilege.
To use expdp/impdp FLASHBACK_TIME or FLASHBACK_SCN the network_link must
connect to the remote instance as user which has flashback query privileges granted on object
to be exported/imported. Grant FLASHBACK and SELECT privileges on specific objects to be
accessed during export/import or grant the FLASHBACK ANY TABLE privilege to allow
export/import on all tables.
Granting the network_link user EXP_FULL_DATABASE and/or IMP_FULL_DATABASE role is
not sufficient to access other schema objects when using FLASHBACK_TIME or
FLASHBACK_SCN via expdp/impdp network_link.

OK so heres the fix;

SQL> grant flashback any table to <username>
2 /
Grant succeeded.

All the above applies to expdp with flashback_scn or flashback_time as well.

FLASHBACK_TIME or FLASHBACK_SCN ( and NETWORK_LINK )
