Quick answer...

do a strings on the file...

strings <yourfile>.dmo

the first line should be EXPORT:V<version number> the last line should be EXIT

In between you should see stuff you recognize.

If all of that is in place, you have a valid .dmp file

Of course, I am assuming Unix. Of course I am. HTH,

Hi,

What is the procedure to check the integrity of a exported .dmp file?

I have: an exported .dmp file of a critical database.

I want: to check the integrity, the contents, whether it can be successfully restored.

I already know about: creating another test database and trying to import this exported file. This is not what I am looking for.

Is there a utility that displays the contents of a .dmp in tree format AND verify the data integrity that the ,dmp can be successfully restored?

Thanks
L. MOhan Arun
