David, Thanks for checking my work. datafiles is a valid keyword. I do have "datafiles" in my command line. Unfortunately, datafile is not a valid keyword: bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/assistants/dbca/templates 37 $ bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/assistants/dbca/templates 37 $ bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/assistants/dbca/templates 37 $ imp transport_tablespace=y file=example.dmp datafile=/h/oracle/oradata/orcl/example01.dfb tablespaces=EXAMPLE tts_owners=HR,IX,OE,PM,SH LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'datafile' IMP-00022: failed to process parameters, type 'IMP HELP=Y' for help IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/assistants/dbca/templates 38 $ bash sol oracle ~/product/10r2/assistants/dbca/templates 38 $ I checked the link you give at oracle-base. My command line patterns with the command line there. Unfortunately, the demo there is for 9i. My DB is 10gR2.
