Oracle Error Message

IMP-00073: FILE locator “string” “string” is truncated to “string” “string” in server character set

Reason for the Error

The conversion of the specified directory and name strings for a file attribute or column from the export server’s character set into the import server’s character set exceeded the maximum string lengths allowed within FILE descriptors. The strings will be truncated to the maximum supported lengths.

Solution

Rename the directory aliases and external filenames to match the truncated names in the specified FILE column or attribute.
