ORA-06544 when performing network expdp between 11g and 10g

When I was trying to perform a network export datapump between 11g and 10g I found an ORA-06544 error.

[oracle@alpha admin]$ impdp SCOTT/TIGER tables=emp_10g,dept_10g network_link=db10g

ORA-39001 When executing Export DataPump on RAC

While I was performing a data pump test export from one of the demo accounts a very weired error showed up. I have looked for it at the web, metalink, forums, and it seems to be the first case.

Scenario
A simple expdp proces trying to export whatever data shows up this:

-bash-3.00$ expdp sh/sh dumpfile=shSchema directory='default_dp_dest' schemas=sh
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, Real Application Clusters, OLAP and Data Mining options
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39000: bad dump file specification
ORA-31641: unable to create dump file "/home/oracle/default_dp_dest/shSchema.dmp"
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Linux Error: 22: Invalid argument
Additional information: 2

I have already made some expdp testing, and it has worked, the only difference during this testing is that it was made on a RAC environment.

When taking a look at the background dump dest trace files I found this:

-bash-3.00$ more rdbkdi1_dm00_31645.trc

If ever someone finds this error solution or reference to it I'll be thankful to hear about it.

OMS version not checked yet ...

When a grid control agent was installed during a RAC setup an error showed up at the end of the agent configuration assistant.

The agent was started successfully, but it was not possible to force the agent to have the XML files uploaded to the grid server, it was when the dreaded error "EMD upload error: uploadXMLFiles skipped :: OMS version not checked yet.." showed up.

The problem basically was due to a password typing error during the configuration phase.


The Troubleshooting Procedure Outline was:

Setup the Agent Home environment
export AGENT_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/pruduct/10.2.0/agent10g
export PATH=$AGENT_HOME/bin:$PATH

Startup the Agent
emctl start agent

Clear the Agent status
emctl clearstate agent

Reset Credentials
emctl secure agent

Retry and verify synchronization operations
emctl upload agent
emctl status agent
