What kind of database?

What type of server did it come from?

What operating system was running on the other server?

How did you "uploaded" it to your server?

It look like datafile trasfer incompleted.
Have you setup Binary transfer on ftp?

Make sure you have same OS version of HPUX and make sure shutdown your database before ftp data files, and make the target server directory structure have be same like source database.

If you're doing a simple file transfer, the database revision levels must be the same. In paricular, if trying to open a 9i database using 10g binaries (without doing an upgrade), the datafiles will appears corrupted to the 10g system. And the 10g binaries will actually corrupt the files on the startup attempt.

This is especially important if the file system layout is different. You will need to rename the datafiles, or rebuild the control files, using the original source version before being able to upgrade the database.

Since you're doing a (hopefully binary!) ftp transfer, it isn't important that the OS version or the file system versions match. The datafile layout is binary compatible between different OS versions and architectures. I've moved data files from an 11.11 PA-RISC to 11.23 Itanium without problems.
