Last week it generates an export with:
mknod /tmp/exp_dbacom p
compress < /tmp/exp_dbacom > /conversion/IC_TABLAS.dmp.Z & expst userid=user/password file=/tmp/exp_dbacom buffer=20000000 parfile=tab1

and when it tries to import with:
mknod /tmp/imp_dbacom p
uncompress < /conversion/IC_TABLAS.dmp.Z > /tmp/imp_dbacom & impst file=/tmp/imp_dbacom parfile=tab2

I received the following error:

IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00021: operating system error - error code (dec 2, hex 0x2)
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully

I have always "cloned" databases, both are same (init.ora, etc)

Metalink tells me that the file this corrupt one ...

Any idea or suggestion in this respect Received on Tue Jan 09 2001 - 07:37:56 CST
