hi

i'm trying to create an export parameter file,
which will include an unix environment-variable

the calling script is:
#!/bin/ksh

TABLE_NAME=my_table_in_the_DB
export TABLE_NAME
exp tlsdbo45/apdo45@tls6 BUFFER=100000 STATISTICS=NONE parfile=exppar.dat

the parameter file is:
file=dump.dmp
tables=$TABLE_NAME
log=emp.txt

when i run the calling script
i got the following error:
Export: Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production on Sun Jul 17 14:16:21 2005

Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

About to export specified tables via Conventional Path ...
EXP-00011: TLSDBO45.$TABLE_NAME does not exist
Export terminated successfully with warnings.

someone knows how can i solve the problem?

Remove "tables=$TABLE_NAME" from your parameter file and add it to the command line:

exp tlsdbo45/apdo45@tls6 BUFFER=100000 STATISTICS=NONE parfile=exppar.dat tables=$TABLE_NAME

Best regards.

The only alternative is to write code to generate a new parameter file before you call the exp command.

Something like this should do:

$ cat <<EOF >exppar.dat
file=dump.dmp
tables=$TABLE_NAME
log=emp.txt
EOF

Best regards.
