Symptoms

You try to import data from a remote partitioned table into a local one using a database link. The data is restricted with a QUERY parameter.

The import fails with errors like:

Processing object type TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/TABLE
ORA-31693: Table data object "TEST"."PART001":"P001" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-14401: inserted partition key is outside specified partition
ORA-31693: Table data object "TEST"."PART001":"P002" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-14401: inserted partition key is outside specified partition
ORA-31693: Table data object "TEST"."PART001":"P003" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-14401: inserted partition key is outside specified partition
