ORA-00959: Tablespace '$name' does not exist when using impdp

Question

I'm new at Oracle databases. I'm executing an impdp command and encountered this error:

ORA-00959: tablespace '$name' does not exist.

Is the only thing I can do is to create the $name tablespace?

Answer 1

Create the tablespace

or

remap the tablespace to use an existing one, with the remap_tablespace parameter:

impdp ... remape_tablespace=$name:$name2

Where $name2 is the name of an existing tablespace.
