Hi,

I would like to share the issue i faced during export data pump.

1.When trying to take table backup i get below error.

[oracle@RAC2 log]$ expdp DEMO directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR DUMPFILE=exp_ORCL_table.dmp  tables=LOG LOGFILE=exp_ORCL_table.log

ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39070: Unable to open the log file.
ORA-39087: directory name DATA_PUMP_DIR is invalid


2.Check available space in mount points and create a new directory pointing the default directory 'DATA_PUMP_DIR'

[oracle@RAC02 oraworkspace]$ mkdir backup
[oracle@RAC02 oraworkspace]$ cd backup
[oracle@RAC02 backup]$ ls
[oracle@RAC02 backup]$ mkdir export
[oracle@RAC02 backup]$ cd export
[oracle@RAC02 export]$ pwd
/oraworkspace/backup/export


3.Login to database and create the directory mapping to new directory and grant read ,write privileges to user as below and then run the export.

[oracle@RAC02 export]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

To grant read ,write privilege to directory to all the users in database use the below command.


SQL>  grant read,write on directory DATA_PUMP_DIR to public;

Grant succeeded.

5.Post validation

                                                              /DB1/ccr/state

SYS                            DATA_PUMP_DIR                  /oraworkspace/backup/export
SYS                            ORA_ALERTLOG_LOC1              /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl
                                                              /ORCL1/trace

Note:--
Make sure you create new directory on server and map default directory to that location and grant read , write permission to user.

Please review the steps and make changes wherever required.

It seems unclear to me if your failure was observed before or after you granted privs on the directory to PUBLIC. It seems, based on what you show in your #4 section, that the grant to PUBLIC was executed after the failure.

Therefore, in order to achieve success, you would have had to have granted privs on the directory explicitly to DEMO before the export, since you are performing the export as DEMO. However, your text copies show that you granted privs on the directory explicitly to USER01, not to DEMO.

Am I right?

Ryan

Also, note that we are assuming that you are logging into the same database every time w/out knowing that for sure. I noticed that what I assume to be your ORACLE_SID in the command prompt is usually RAC02, that in #1, it is shown as RAC2.
