ORA-39123: Data Pump transportable tablespace job aborted / ORA-01240: too many data files to add in one command

September 27th, 2012 No comments
Today i ran into a good example for really really bad error messages: Imagine a tablespace with 720 datafiles (approx 22 TB in total size) which should be transported via transportable tablespace. For this you created a plain, new 11.2 database and you are trying to attach the transportable tablespace:
