Hi all!

1.I have an export file dump BA.DMP from Solaris v8.0 on CDROM with Oracle v8i .

I tried to import into Oracle v8i on WINNT.Before Importing,I had created user BA and had assigned Default tablespace USERS and Temporary Tablespace TEMP to it on PGVL DB.

Now when I had issued import command at command prompt as:

F:\>imp

userid:ba/ba@pgvl

After giving the buffer size and export file dump BA.DMP, Oracle gave this error:

IMP-00010:not a valid Export file,header failed verification.
Imp-0000: Import terminated unsuccessfully.

Please let me know as to what went wrong with the Export File Dump on CDROM BA.DMP when I tried to import.

Regards,

Amitstora
