Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Hi all,

I'm currently performing DB upgrade activities using EXP &IMP dump method instead of DBUA based on the steps mention on the below KB.

How to Perform a Full Database Export Import During Upgrade, Migrate, Copy or Move of a Database (Doc ID 286775.1)

So far I do not face any issue by using this method, however I'm looking for some clarification on a few details.

On my target DB, do I need to ensure that all the DB parameters are exactly the same as the source DB?
I'm using dbms_metadata.get_ddl function to derive the tablespace DDL from the source DB, however the output from this function seems to be weirdly formatted. Example as below, I need to correct each of the create tablespace query so that there won't be any problem running the creation.
