Importing Some Partion of a Partitioned Table

Question

Hi Guru's,
I import a partitioned table using original import option, during import i am successful to import 80% of data but after that import discontinued due to n/w error. I just want to know can i continue my import from where it is discontinued or i need to import the complete partitioned table again. The export dump file is complete partitioned table export not partition wise export.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank in advance.

Use the TABLES clause in the import statement.
See the Utilities doc

TABLES
Default: There is no default
Purpose
Specifies that you want to perform a table-mode import.
Syntax and Description
TABLES=[schema_name.]table_name[:partition_name]
In a table-mode import, you can filter the data that is imported from the source by specifying a comma-delimited list of tables and partitions or subpartitions.
If you do not supply a schema_name, it defaults to that of the current user. To specify a schema other than your own, you must either have the IMP_FULL_DATABASE role or remap the schema to the current user.
The use of filtering can restrict what is imported using this import mode. See Filtering During Import Operations.
If a partition_name is specified, it must be the name of a partition or subpartition in the associated table.

The following example shows the use of the TABLES parameter to import partitions:
impdp hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=expdat.dmp TABLES=sh.sales:sales_Q1_2000,sh.sales:sales_Q2_2000
