Oracle Database Export Over Network Connection

[Adrian Sobers2]

I have two Oracle Databases. Here is setup.

Testing Server (8.0.5.2) INLAND3
Production Server (8.1.7.4) inland8

Both are 64-bit running on HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11 respectively. I can tnsping test database from production. I can also tnsping production database from test. So the tnsnames.ora files are both correct.

I want to use 8.0.5.2 export utility to connect to production database so that I can get an 8.0.5.2 dmp file. However when I run the export:

exp uname/pwd@PROD_DB

it starts and then I get an error saying oracle core dump and something lots of hex and dec numbers and symbols, then it returns prompt.

Does anyone know what could be wrong here? Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Adrian,

did you run the old catexp.sql in the source database before you run the "old" exp utility ?
