Hi Ernesto,

the file path´s of the tablespaces datafiles in the target database often differ from those of the source. You should create the tablespaces with the same names but other datafiles before you import the data. In this case the import utility will not create the tablespaces but will use the precreated tablespaces.

Another question. Did you try full database import ? Normally the target database should be ready configurated including the rollback segments, and there is no need to import the rollback tablespaces.

A full import is critical, because the data dictionary of the target database will be damaged.
It would be a better choice, to do an import by schema. (Dont you have an application owner in the source database ? )
