Create a log file of the export and scan that logfile for any errors reported by the 
export process.

Hi,

What is the procedure to check the integrity of a
exported .dmp file?

I have: an exported .dmp file of a critical database.

I want: to check the integrity, the contents, whether
it can be successfully restored.

I already know about: creating another test database
and trying to import this exported file. This is not
what I am looking for.

Is there a utility that displays the contents of a
.dmp in tree format AND verify the data integrity that
the ,dmp can be successfully restored?

Thanks
L. MOhan Arun

Quick answer...

do a strings on the file... 

strings yourfile.dmo

the first line should be EXPORT:Vversion number
the last line should be EXIT

In between you should see stuff you recognize.

If all of that is in place, you have a valid .dmp file

Of course, I am assuming Unix.  Of course I am.
HTH,
Bambi.
