Starting Shell Scripts for ORACLE Export/Import 

SAPDBA uses the ORACLE export/import utilities to export/import tables and their data.

SAPDBA creates shell scripts that can be used to call the export/import programs.

To manually perform an import of tables and their data, for example, enter the following command in the work directory at the prompt:

OS> imp<TSP>.sh or imp<TSP>_<n>.sh

The files for the unload/load option ( ldr<TSP>.sh ,...) are not genuine shellscripts but merely contain internal SAPDBA information. They cannot be started as separate shellscripts. Unload and load can only be performed with SAPDBA.
