.DMP file of logical dump is an OS file or Database file

Dear All,
I attended an interview yesterday and they asked me weather
.DMP file of logical dump is an OS file or Database file????
Can anybody give me some gud explananation on this

Sure, its not a datafile.
Its OS file that can only understood by the export and import utilities.
Export and Import are external utilities (Oracle provided).

Crash reporter often generates empty (0 kb) dump (dmp) files

My Firefox crashes quite often, but that's not the topic of this question. The problem is that often when it crashes, an empty dmp file is generated which causes the crash reporter not to submit the crash report. I have used the about:crashes page to submit pending reports that had non-empty dmp files, but not one report with an empty one got submitted.
I think this (generating empty dmp files) is a bug that needs to be solved to better solve other bugs. Can anyone give me any information about this bug (preferably how to fix it)? Should I post a bug report to Bugzilla?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== oldest empty dmp file is Nov. 5 2009

Restore DMP file in Oracle 10G - URGENT!

hello, Oracle forum. I am a sql dba crossing over and need some help ASAP! Since I am new at 10G, I received some DMP files from a client and need to restore them ASAP!. Can you please provide EXACT steps on how to do this? I prefer to use the OEM gui, but need step-by-step. Await reply...Many thanks!

Hi..
There are few questions to be answered:--
1. What does that dump contain. Is it a table level or a schema level or a full database dump
2. If its a table level who is the owner of the table
3. If its a schema level , whats the schema name.
4. was the export taken with exp or expdp utility.
5. Is the database in which the export dump is to be imported have that schema or is that the data has to be imported to some other schema.
After all this information you can use imp or impdp utility it import the data in 10g database.
For imp [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023560]

Import data in dmp-files

Hello,
i have some problems with the import of data in dmp-files. As a reference i have the book "pro oracle spatial" and there i try to do the sample in chapter 11 and view the sample-data with mapviewer. i have downloaded the demodata on harddisc, created the user "spatial2" (i have already a user spatial) and now i can't get further. i have never imported data with this command (imp ...). where do i have do save the dump-files? and where are the dump-files that are listed in the book? i am really a little bit confused. maybe somebody can help. i have oracle database 10.1.0.3 on a sles9.
with kind regards
katrin

Katrin,
Go to the directory where you've downloaded the dump files.
Assuming you have a user called spatial2 with password spatial2, and your dumpfile is foo.dmp, something like this would work:
imp spatial2/spatial2 file=foo.dmp full=y
See the oracle utilities guide for more information about import/export.

Reading Large Memory.dmp files

I'm got a 2003 servers and I got the error below. I've found how you can read the small memory.dmp files, but this file is 1.5GB. Can anyone tell me how I can read this? Or what this error is? The system unexpectedly shut down.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xb96de1d1, 0xb69e9240, 0xb69e8f3c). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you update the BIOS and the hardware drivers first.
If it does not work, you may also analyze them with Debugging Tools by yourself. You can install it and it’s Symbol Packages from the following
link:

WinDbg will tell you the possible cause. For more information, please read Microsoft KB article below:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263
If no clue can be found, you may contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist
with your request. To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.

You can let Import prompt you for parameters by entering the IMP
command followed by your username/password:
     Example: IMP SCOTT/TIGER
Or, you can control how Import runs by entering the IMP command followed
by various arguments. To specify parameters, you use keywords:
     Format: IMP KEYWORD=value or KEYWORD=(value1,value2,...,valueN)
     Example: IMP SCOTT/TIGER IGNORE=Y TABLES=(EMP,DEPT) FULL=N
               or TABLES=(T1:P1,T1:P2), if T1 is partitioned table
USERID must be the first parameter on the command line.

Restore a .DMP file in Oracle XE

Hello,
I am new to Oracle and I downloaded the XE version for testing purposes. Can anyone tell how I restore a .dmp file? I got the file from a cient and need to run some queries on it. Any help on this would be great.
Thanks.
Anil

I wish I can tell you how it was created. I got this
file from my client site and I have been unable to
find out how it was created as yet. Is there a place
where I can get step by step instruction about how I
could import this file? Well, that's the dilema. The 'import' steps depend on how the 'export' was taken. Indeed, it it possible that the dump was created with non-Oracle tools.
Anyway, I created a couple of 'normal' exports from my Windows-based XE, one using exp and one using expdp. Then I opened the resulting dump files (with Cream/Vim) just to see what I could see.
exp test/test file=exp.dmp tables=testresulting in a file wit the first lines reading:
^C^@+EXPORT:V10.02.01
UTEST
RTABLES
2048
0
20
0and
expdp test/test directory=tempdir dumpfile=expdp.dmp tables=testcontained the following around the middle of line 2
TEST"."SYS_EXPORT_TABLE_01

Is it possible to read a corrupted or incomplete dmp file?

I hava an export file but while export operation an error was raised and the export finished with errors. However, until the problem, a lot of tables were exported. I can see from logfile.
Now, is there any way to read this broken dmp file?
when i want to import, the error says:
ORA-39246: cannot locate master table within provided dump files
ORA-39059: dump file set is incomplete
is there anything like DUL for this?

How to extract Exadata .dmp files into older versions of Oracle

Hi, Our customer has provided exadata .dmp files ( HCC compressed) and I don't have access to Oracle Exadata - are there ways or utiltiies to extract these dumps to Older versions of Oracle? or even Oracle Express.
Thanks/Prasad

Hi,
To Export form Exadata (DB 11g R2) and Import into Older versions of Oracle (Ex. 10g)
You have to use exp utility which is version 10g and imp by utility 10g
Ex. use oracle 10 client to connect to Exadata and run exp cmd then imp.

Showing DMP file information in my application

I would also like to be able to show information on the .DMP files located in C:\Windows\MiniDump or c:\windows\memory.dmp - i.e. in same sort of way as
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html and
http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed do it
I have managed to do it for .WER files as per other forum post - but it is not so simple with .DMP files as you cannot simply see lines of information inside them - but it must be possible as the above tool Blue Screen View is only small/simple and somehow
can show you information like in screenshot below - I would like to achieve something similar to that - so basically you can see list of the dmp files with date and at least information such as error (bug check string) and faulting module
Any thoughts/ideas/guidance on how I could do this??
Many thanks
Darren Rose

I have worked out how to achieve my requirements using files from the debugging tools download - still not sure how above programs do it without, but perhaps they have just integrated the files in their apps
My code is below for anyone who is interested - probably not best code in world, but it does what I need
It requires the following files from the standalone debugging tools (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/hardware/gg454513):-
dbgeng.dll
dbghelp.dll
kd.exe
symsrv.dll
triage/triage.ini
winext/ext.dll
winext/kext.dll
