Problem with imp

Question

HI All,
We are facing some problem with imp. What we are trying to do is to import one table from full exp backup.
Below is my exp script:
compress </nhi3/export/epipe > /nhi3/export/exp-nov.dmp.Z &
exp holland/kangra file=/nhi3/export/epipe full=y compress=n buffer=250000 log=/nhi3/export/exp.log
Now iam trying to import one table from full exp backup using the below script.
P6DB NODE>uncompress < /rmanbkp/backup/export0402/export/exp-nov.dmp.Z > /nhi3/export/epipe &
[1] 3190958
P6DB NODE>imp holland/kangra file=/nhi3/export/epipe fromuser=baan touser=baan tables='TTIPSL042100' ignore=n log=/rmanbkp/backup/export0402/export/ttipsl042100.log indexes=n full=n
After firing this command there is no response from the terminal and nothing is showing in the imp logfile.
Only response i can see is:
P6DB NODE>imp holland/kangra file=/nhi3/export/epipe fromuser=baan touser=baan tables='TTIPSL042100' ignore=n log=/rmanbkp/backup/export0402/export/ttipsl042100.log indexes=n full=n

Hi,
Just to start eliminating potential error sources, what if you do the uncompress to file, and then try to import using that file?
Also, since you do a full export, it might take a while for the uncompress to reach the schema and table you're trying to import.
