export/import considerations

some things to consider when performing export/import operations:

- turn off the archive logging for the time of IMPORT if possible
- JOBS are created in the schema of the user who is running the import
- user must have the IMP_FULL_DATABASE privilege to be able to import JOBS
**I'm not sure which privilege exactly is necessary here. But tests show that if there's no IMP_FULL_DATABASE role, then data pump simply ignores the JOB objects in the dump**
- when performing SCHEMA import, it might be reasonable to import USER, ROLE_GRANTS, SYSTEM_GRANTS objects at first step logged in as DBA and all the rest in the second step as the schema user himself (so that JOBS will be created in the correct schema)
