IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown

Solution to IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown problem.


Today while migrating data using imp/exp from oracle 9i to 11g, I faced the following issue
IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully

This issue comes into picture when dump (.dmp) file is corrupted.
In my case, it was not the dmp file corruption. I forget to de-compress the file (exp.dmp).

So i used gunzip first to decompress the .dmp file before importing, then I was able import successfully.
