11g export to 9i database

Question

We like to export data from 11g db to 9i db. tried the following:
1. Execute 9i export on 11g db app schema
2. Execute 11g export on 11g db app schema
3. Execute 9i import from step 1 into 9i db.
4. Execute 9i import from step 2 into 9i db.
Received core dump and the following error in both cases:
Export file created by EXPORT:V09.02.00 via conventional path
import done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
import server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)Memory fault(coredump)
Is there a way to move 11g data to 9i, besides sqlloader ?

Answer 1

we are facing exactly same issue. We are trying to export from 11gR1 database using 9i client and import it into 9i database. 11g is having character set AL32UTF8 and target 9i is having WE8ISO8859P1.
While exporting NLS_LANG variable was set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 and while importing the same was done. Even then I am facing following error while importing,

Any idea what might be the issue.
