Sorry guys I typed the diagnostics wrong its:

LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'C:/winnt/temp/2404133127.dat'
LRM-00113: error when processing file 'C:/Winnit/temp/2404133127.dat'

EXP-00019: failed to process parameters, type 'EXP HELP=Y' for help
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

The parameter file is actual there but at this address:
C:\WINNT\Temp\2404133127.dat

Basically the wizard creates the parameter file and then try’s to read from it at the wrong address.

The wizard only asks for you to specify the destination path of the dmp file which is simply d:\oracle\test190903.dmp and no other.

The parameters are defined with tick boxes, which I leave fully ticked.

I originally had the VNI-2015 error, but created a local user for the server (not PDC user) with logon batch rights. This was the only way I could get rid of the VNI-2015 error.

The database user has sysdba rights.

And the location of the file is on the C: of the server where the database is.

SANJAY_G when you say try removing the "." I take it you mean if I where able to enter the path for the parameter file??? and not the destination of the dmp??

I get the same error message with imports and exports.

I run exports as daily and weekly backups in command prompt and they seem to work fine.


I would welcome any thoughts or suggestions on how I should proceed?

Regards
