Transfer the Dump File to the Target Server

Transfer and decompress the STA database dump file on the target server.

On the target server, verify there is sufficient space for the decompressed database dump file (which may be 10 to 15 times the size as the compressed database).
1. Open a terminal session on the target server and log in as the Oracle user.
2. Display the space available in the destination directory, and verify it is sufficient for the size of the decompressed dump file, which you displayed while dumping the database.
  The following example displays the space in /tmp.
```
$ df -h /tmp
Filesystem                        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/newstaserver-lv_root  150G   32G  118G  21% /
```
On the STA server, transfer the compressed dump file to the target server.
1. Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
2. Transfer the file to the target server using a transfer utility such as SCP. For example:
```
$ cd /tmp
$ scp -p 160115_SavedSTADatabase.sql.gz newstaserver:/tmp
```
  where:
  - -p indicates to preserve timestamp values from the original files.
  - 160115_SavedSTADatabase.sql.gz is the name of the compressed database dump file.
  - newstaserver is the name of the target server.
  - /tmp is the target directory on the server.
On the target server, decompress the database dump file.
1. Open a terminal session on the target server and log in as the Oracle user.
2. Decompress the dump file. For example:
```
$ cd /tmp
$ unzip 160115_SavedSTADatabase.sql.gz
$ ls -l 160115*sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle   oinstall     3875509 Jan 15 15:05 160115_SavedSTADatabase.sql
```
