Quick answer... do a strings on the file...
strings <yourfile>.dmo the first line should be EXPORT:V<version number> the last line should be EXIT In between you should see stuff you recognize. If all of that is in place, you have a valid .dmp file Of course, I am assuming Unix. Of course I am. HTH, Bambi. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 11:59 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, What is the procedure to check the integrity of a exported .dmp file? I have: an exported .dmp file of a critical database. I want: to check the integrity, the contents, whether it can be successfully restored. I already know about: creating another test database and trying to import this exported file. This is not what I am looking for. Is there a utility that displays the contents of a .dmp in tree format AND verify the data integrity that the ,dmp can be successfully restored? Thanks L.
