*.dmp file import in Oracle

Question

I need to import data from *.dmp file say mydump.dmp. What I'm doing is:

imp myuser/mypass file=mydump.dmp log=mylog.log

And I'm getting:

only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA

I know the DBA credentianls to db but I want to import dump into 'myuser' schema. So how to do it?

Answer 1

imp system/xxx file=mydump.dmp log=mylog.log touser= destination_schema

You have to import as system, since it was exported as system
