Re: Importing a Dump via Data Manager (from UNIX to Windows 2000)

Welcome to the shady world of OEM which works when the wind is from the west and the last prime number that you thought of was bigger than 2^34and a half.

As a general rule (which doesn't help *you* much, I realise) the CLI is infinitely more reliable and controlable than that dreaded GUI stuff. And I speak as one who has shares in Microsoft. The problem is not so much GUI v CLI as the fact that OEM barks.
