Re: Big Dump file (12gb) from nt to unix and from 7.3.4 to 8.1.6

You have to create a series of files, each one <=2gig. If you are trying to create only one .dmp file it may be exceeding the 2gig limit for exp. Try using Rachel Carmichael's scripts which create as many files as needed of 2gig.

You can find the scripts on the LazyDBA website under scripts.
