Restore Database Issue - Urgent

I am trying to restore a AIX database onto WIndows XP workstation. I have not been successful yet. I am getting all kinds of errors. Is this even possible (AIX backup to Windows XP restore) ?.

I am getting "Creditentials are invalid error" . What am I doing wrong ?

T.I.A.

cross platform redirect restore is not allowed, you need to use db2move+db2look

You can restore within the following platforms:

- UNIX to UNIX (any flavor)
- Linux to Linux
- Windows to Windows

But not between the above platforms. Has partly to do with big endian vs little endian.

Little Endian" means that the low-order byte of the number is stored in memory at the lowest address, and the high-order byte at the highest address. (The little end comes first.)

"Big Endian" means that the high-order byte of the number is stored in memory at the lowest address, and the low-order byte at the highest address. (The big end comes first.)
