<P>My best guest is that your dump file is coming from a database with tablespaces that were dictionary managed and now you have this database on 9i with tablespaces that are locally managed. What you need to do here is recreate your tablespaces on 9i using dbca and choose the dictionary managed option. Then, run the imp.exe again and you get your work done.</P>

<DIV></DIV>Hi Murali,
<DIV></DIV>Thank you!
<DIV></DIV>How can I check the version? This dump file came from one of our clients
<DIV></DIV>I don't want to ask if I can get that information from the dump file.
<DIV></DIV>Is there a paramenter in the import utility that I could use to get that
<DIV></DIV>information?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Thanks!

<DIV></DIV>Hi,

<DIV></DIV>Check the version of export using which you have taken the export.
<DIV></DIV>
