During everyday job as a database administrator , we need to do a lot duties.For example, we need returning data to a certain period. The time when these data have been preserved was followed by other technology and now after seven years we must approach the neighborhood to return as they were.During my experience I have not encountered this problem since I could not retrieve the data, ie I did not encounter the error message IMP-00002: failed to open "path \ filename.dmp" for read. Although the placement of the DUMP file was in the right place D: \ admin \ kxyx \ dpdump and the import script was imp file = 2010_06_30_kxyx.dmp log = 2010_06_30_kxyx.log full = y, import could not be done until it set the complete path like imp file = 'D: /admin/kxyx/dpdump/2010_06_30_kxyx.dmp' log = 2010_06_30_kxyx.log full = y
