Hi, I try to uncompress a gzip file into a pipe (fifo) on solaris 10 in order to pipe it into an imp ( import in oracle 9i DB), and i have a strange behaviour, somethimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work, i have an IMP-00009 ERROR during import (imp) bash-3.00$ cat *.log Connected to: Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production JServer Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully script : mkfifo pipe gzip -d < file.dmp.gz > pipe & imp XX/XX ....file=pipe tables=... rows=y ...log=fic.log.. ==> It seems that the gzip -d does not behave correct with the pipe on solaris10 I tried : cat file.dmp.gz | gunzip -c > pipe & gzcat file.dmp.gz > pipe & zcat file.dmp.gz > pipe & gzip -dc file.dmp.gz > pipe & Nothing is working, only the compress -c is working on a file.dmp.Z ( i gunzip and compress the same file that was not working) Do you have any ideas about this issue ?
