ORA-31604: invalid transform NAME parameter “MODIFY” for object type PROCACT_INSTANCE in function ADD_TRANSFORM

While performing an import data pump operation into an Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 – 64bit Production we encountered the below error:

Impdp Fails With ORA-39126 ORA-31604 Iinvalid Transform NAME Parameter "MODIFY" For Object Type PROCACT_INSTANCE in function ADD_TRANSFORM (Doc ID 1596495.1)

The solution is to change the import data pump command from:

impdp \'/ as sysdba \' dumpfile=resolvecode.dmp directory=exp_dir remap_table=myuser.accounting_codes:accounting_codes_prod 

to:

impdp \'/ as sysdba \' dumpfile=resolvecode.dmp directory=exp_dir remap_table=myuser.accounting_codes:accounting_codes_prod exclude=PROCACT_INSTANCE

The use of the exclude=PROCACT_SYSTEM will exclude the resource manager objects such as resource plans and groups.

There is also a patch available, but the addition of exclude=PROCACT_INSTANCE solved my issue faster than patching.
