Using Oracle impdp I'm getting error message:

UDI-00013 Message 13 not found No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=UDI

How can I correct this?

You can get this error when your ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set, or when it is set but not exported:

> unset ORACLE_HOME
> ORACLE_HOME=/dboracle/orabase/product/11.2.0.BTSP2
> impdp
UDI-00013: Message 13 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=UDI
UDI-00019: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory

> export ORACLE_HOME
> impdp

If it's set, so you can see it with echo for example, make sure it is also exported with export ORACLE_HOME; you can also check which variables have been exported with export | grep ORACLE, so you can see if anything else is missing - maybe ORACLE_SID depending on your connect string.

These are usually set by an environment set-up script.
