Exporting from Hp-unix and Importing on Solaris

Question

Hi all,
Can anyone give me the procedure and constraints that are taken for exporting oracle 8i on HP-unix and importing on oracle 9i Solaris machine, Any docs or metalink notes also helps me .
And i need steps like how to disable the constraints and triggers and how to take take export. what precautions are taken while exporting and importing.
what are the parameters that should taken for faster export and import ...
export is for full database ..
If anyone can give me a quick response , i would appreciate that. because i have only 2 days in hand...

Hi,
I dont think that cross platform with work in exp/imp u can give a try anyway.
Take export in direct path tat would be faster if you are using 10G then use Datapump (expdp/impdp)
Before u could use exp or expdp / imp or impdp login as oracle use and export the variable ORACLE_SID to the target database
do this $ exp help=y (for export) or imp help=y (for import)
E.g. export syntax
EXPORT
exp parfile=exp.par
parfile (exp.par)
userid="/ as sysdba"
file=/path/filename.dmp
log=/path/filename.log
direct=y
constraints=n
triggers=n
full=y (for full export)
owner=user1,user2(for schema level export)
IMPORT
imp parfile=imp.par
parfile (imp.par)
userid="/ as sysdba"
file=/path/filename.dmp
log=/path/impfilename.log
full=y (for full import)
fromuser=username (for schema level import)
touser=username
Try in google search for syntax of otn site for good documents
