    Talking

    Ok, how do we specify an import if the export uses multiple .DMP files?

    In the parfile will the syntax be

    File=D:\blah1
    File=D:\blah2


    I can't find this syntax and I'd like to get this squared away soon since I have to run this into production in about 10 minutes.

    Thanks guys;

    that should work

    import_xyz.sh
    ::::::::::::::
    imp user/***@xyz \
    file=/export/oracle/xyz1.dmp, \
    /export/oracle/xyz2.dmp, \
    export/oracle/xyz3.dmp \
    fromuser=xyz touser=xyz ignore=y \
    tables=xyz \
    buffer=102485760 \
    log=import_xyz.log \
    commit=y \
    feedback=10000

    Do export of table using FIELSIZE parameter.

    [tiger5]/u08/users/sadavid/SD815> exp sadavid/sadavid tables=test_table
    file=sadavid.dmp log=exp1.log filesize=50K

    4. Truncate test_table and then do import.

    *NOTE: If you do not use FILESIZE=50K in your import, you will
    get an IMP-00046: using FILESIZE value from export file
    of 51200 but the import does complete successfully.

    [tiger5]/u08/users/sadavid/SD815> imp sadavid/sadavid file=sadavid.dmp
    tables=test_table ignore=y log=imp1.log

    you dont specify each file's name you specify the export file name specified when you export

    but seems like there are several ways of doing it, check Note 75109.1

    THANKS guys, you just saved me some mild headaches.
    I am doing europe production now. The ONLY reason we need multiples on this NT box is because winzip can not zip files larger than 4 Gigs.

    Thanks Again, you guys rock!
