Oracle® Database 11g / 12c / 18c error codes IMP-00047: unexpected file sequence number; expected number but found number

IMP-00047: unexpected file sequence number; expected number but found number

Oracle Error Code: IMP-00047

Cause: The header in the export file contains a sequence number that is used to track the order in which multiple export files are written. The first export file is assigned sequence number one, the second file is assigned sequence number two and so on. This message is displayed when a number other than the expected sequence number is found in the file header

Action: Execute the import command again, but specify the files in the order in which Export wrote them.
