A data pump job runs on the server. It cannot be terminated by killing the client session which started it. Follow these steps to terminate a data pump export job.
1. Open a separate terminal window and start SQL*Plus. Find the name of the running job.
SQL> select owner_name, job_name from dba_datapump_jobs;
2. Start new datapump session and attach to job name retrieved in previous step.
$ expdp system/mypwd attach=<job_name>
3. Terminate the job
Export> kill_job
Demo
The examples below use a Linux guest on Oracle VBox. The first one runs a data pump export in the background, and attaches to it using the job name. The second one runs the export in the foreground and then terminates the client process using CTL-C; the server process is then killed from data pump.
Example 1
Start a DP export job in the background. Query the dictionary to find it’s name. Attach to it and issue the kill job command.
— Start data pump export in the background.
$ nohup expdp system/blogtest directory=dpump full=y dumpfile=full.dmp logfile=full.log &
— Log into SQLPLUS and find job name.
