expdp Error: ORA-39071: Value for SCHEMAS is badly formed.

misterimranJun 24 2014 — edited Jun 26 2014

Dear All,

My databse is 11.2.0.4 on windows 2012 server.

I am trying to take dump of one of my schema with the following command:


C:\>expdp bkpuser/*** schemas=pms2 directory=DUMP_DIR dumpfile=PMS_DLY_DMP.dmp logfile=PMS_DLY_LOG.log


But specifing schema is giving this error:

Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production

With the Partitioning option

ORA-39001: invalid argument value

ORA-39071: Value for SCHEMAS is badly formed.

ORA-00942: table or view does not exist


When i query : select username from dba_users where upper(username)='PMS2';  I get PMS2

I have tried both schemas=PMS2 & schemas=pms2

Nothing in the alert log file regarding this error.


I can also connect directory to PMS2 user without any error. If I change the statement to this... It is working

C:\>expdp pms2/**** directory=DUMP_DIR dumpfile=PMS_DLY_DMP.dmp logfile=PMS_DLY_LOG.log -- but the password here confidential and i dont want to use in any of the script file.

User bkpuser only have the limited priveleges to perform export...


Not exactly sure, why this error is there. I have looked at several websites with same syntax.

Kindly help.

Regards, Imran
