[GIS] Importing data from Oracle Data Pump into empty Oracle ArcSDE Geodatabase

I have an ArcSDE Geodatabase that contains empty layers created using ArcCatalog.

I would like to import data into those layers from a Data Pump of an Oracle database that has the same structure as the empty database.

How can I perform the spatial data import without getting problems linked to SDE? Is it dangerous to use Oracle data import commands? Should I use some special SDE command to perform the import correclty?

The solution I chose is to create a dump of the source database (with the sde user) and load the dump in the target database.
