RE: Export Import - Linux to Sloaris error

If you have used FTP to transfer the dump file across..make sure you do it in bin mode.

Hello all,

I have a strange situation.

Export a user from a Solaris Box 2.6, Oracle 8.1.5 Import to Linux 2.1.6, Oracle 8.1.6 -- works like a charm.

Export a user from a Linux 2.1.6, Oracle 8.1.6 Import to a Solaris Box 2.6, Oracle 8.1.5 -- does not work get the following error

IMP-00010: not a valid export file,header failed verification
IMP-00021:operating system error - error code (dec2, hex 0x2)
IMP-00000:import terminated unsuccessfully

The recordlength on the export and import should match due to diff OS, but even with the same record length it does not work..any one experience the same.. or have any ideas??? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Geeta Iyer
