Flex: Workspace in use or cannot be created

I have seen this annoying message more often in Flex Builder 3. It looks like the locks are not properly released when you quit Flex Builder.

If you get this error, You have 2 options

Option 1

1. Go to Task Manager
2. Kill FlexBuilder.exe
3. Kill Javaaw.exe

Option 2
Restart your pc

Either option will resolve this for you.

Data pump: Import multiple dump files

If the size of the dump file is large, usually they will be split into smaller chunks for easier ftp upload/download.

If you are trying to import a dump file that is split into many chunks, then you need to modify the DUMPFILE paratermeter to include %U

If the dump files are named EXP_PROD_1.dmp, EXP_PROD_2.dmp etc , then

DUMPFILE=EXP_PROD_%U.DMP
