I have a database dump file with me, I need to make two copies of the database using the same dump file in two users.

Is it possible?

What sort of dump file do you "have with you"? Is it created by Data Pump Export (expdp) or the old fashioned Export (exp)? – Colin 't Hart Jan 30 at 10:07
@colin-t-hart I have a .dmp file with me – nigel thomas Jan 30 at 10:11
.dmp says nothing about the format of the dump file. – Colin 't Hart Jan 30 at 14:15
it is solved, thank u... – nigel thomas Jan 30 at 14:30

If your dump has been created with exp then you may use imp for importing it. If you exported schema USERA and want to import these objects in schema USERB, then use command:

imp user/password@sid FROMUSER=USERA TOUSER=USERB FILE=yourfile.dmp

you may get more example of imp on the Import Export FAQ. You may import your dump two times using different USERB.

impdp user/password DUMPFILE=file_name directory=dir LOGFILE=test.log REMAP_SCHEMA=USERA:USERB TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND USER A is the existing user USER B is the new user – nigel thomas Jan 30 at 13:54

impdp user/password DUMPFILE=file_name directory=dir LOGFILE=test.log REMAP_SCHEMA=USERA:USERB TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND

This will solve the issue.

USER A is the existing user USER B is the new user
