Oracle 9i on AIX 5.2
I try to copy a database from my Production server to the DEV server, both AIX 5.2.
Export was succesfuuly ended with .dmp 3.5 Gb.
When I try to copy this file (rcp, ftp, tar) to DEV server, It shows that 2 Gb limit was reached.
Are these options that allow me to acheave this import.
Thanx.
Salah

I think exp can break files into smaller chunks. Try exp help=y.

You can also try compressing the .dmp file or simply import into the target database from the production server:

imp system/pass@dev ...

hi andrew ,

please observe caution when using exp in unix env. coz some unix file systems do not support a single file more than 2GB.

seek other alternatives like user wise exp or exp the db structure but no data and the data can be in other export dump .. try to mix n match to solve ur problem .

regards
balaji

what is the difference?
export with just DDL will be definatly negligible.
anyhow the data is going to be more than 2gb.
Andrew's solution to split the file into smaller files will help.

Hi,

i believe the problem is with the O.S. not allowing the File size more than 2 GB. what you can do is you can use the Filesize parameter of Export utility which will split the file in the size you specified.

Oracle will ask for the filenames when the limit is reached.

Hope this helps.

All the best.

Milind.
