You should be using the 8.1.6 client to export, and the 8.1.7 client to import. Hopefully that's what you're doing.

If you're using a direct mode export port, try using conventional.

Make sure you're not corrupting your dump file when moving it from AIX to Win2k. If you're using FTP, make sure its a binary mode transfer. Sometimes doing an imp show=y helps to tell if the dump file is corrupt.

HTH, Beth

I R'd TFM and it said to call Oracle support.

Anybody have any idea how to work around this? The export is from an 8.1.6
database on a RISC/AIX. I'm trying to import it into a 8.1.7 on Win2K sp2.
I've tried it with both the 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 client.

TIA
