Issue while importing Oracle Dump File on AIX 5.3

UNIX AIX
1

Hi All,

I am facing one problem related to importing Oracle Dump file.
We have two different version of AIX boxes with oracle (version 10.2.0.4.0) installed.
On one AIX box (version 6.1) we are creating oracle dump file (*.dmp) using oracle exp utility and importing it onto another AIX box (version 5.3) using
imp utility of oracle .

We are getting below error :

25 Dec 22:13 IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
25 Dec 22:13 IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully

Any pointer would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Gunjan.

Hello Gunjan,

Welcome to forums, kindly use code tags as per forum rules for any commands or codes in your posts. You can refer following
link to go through from the forum rules.

Now for your error, there may be following points here.
i- The most common cause with FTP is using an ASCII transfer and failing to use the binary flag.
ii- Importing into an earlier version of Oracle.
iii- Either the file was not generated by Export or it was corrupted.

Also following link may help you in same.

Thanks,
