How to manage lost Datapump jobs

We’re running an export (full, for example) and that takes a very long time but then our connection to the server is closed for some reason. It can be a server policy or it can be that we did it by mistake but my most common reason is just loosing the network connection between my client and the server.

In this post we will look at the solution given to us by the datapump processes and understand how the fact that we’re using data pump jobs, actually makes those issues very simple to solve.

1-Finding the Job name :

Edit the expdb or impdb log file to get out the job name:

Export: Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production on Thu MAI 17 11:12:37 2018
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates.  All rights reserved.
Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
Starting "AHMEDENG"."SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01":  AHMEDENG/******** full=y directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=AHMEDENG.dmp logfile=AHMEDENG.log

In this case, the name job is "SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01".

we can also use the sqlplus prompt to extract the job name by exécuting the queriy below:

SQL>Select  owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode, state FROM dba_datapump_jobs;

OWNER_NAME            JOB_NAME                       OPERATION       JOB_MODE      STATE

--------------------- ------------------------------ --------------- ------------- -----------
AHMEDENG            SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01      EXPORT      FULL        EXECUTING 
2. Reattach to a running job :
Now that we have the name of the job, we can attach our client to it. To do this we need to run the expdp command and use the attach commands:
oracle@Linux$expdp AHMEDENG attach=SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01
This command will connect us back to the management interface and run the “status” command:
oracle@Linux$expdp AHMEDENG attach=SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01

Export>
At this point we can make several commands: changing the original command to use parallel process, we can add file dump files, investigate the current state, cease the export process or even reconnecting the running client interface.
Export> help
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following commands are valid while in interactive mode.
Note: abbreviations are allowed.
ADD_FILE
Add dumpfile to dumpfile set.
CONTINUE_CLIENT
Return to logging mode. Job will be restarted if idle.
EXIT_CLIENT
Quit client session and leave job running.
FILESIZE
Default filesize (bytes) for subsequent ADD_FILE commands.
HELP
Summarize interactive commands.
KILL_JOB
Detach and delete job.
PARALLEL
Change the number of active workers for current job.
REUSE_DUMPFILES
Overwrite destination dump file if it exists [N].
START_JOB
Start or resume current job.
Valid keyword values are: SKIP_CURRENT.
STATUS
Frequency (secs) job status is to be monitored where
the default [0] will show new status when available.
STOP_JOB
Orderly shutdown of job execution and exits the client.
Valid keyword values are: IMMEDIATE.
2. Stopping the export process :
If we want to stop the export process we need distinguish between two types of stop commands. The first is a regular stop (stop_job) from which we can continue the command later. The other command is a full stop of the process by “killing” (kill_job or stop_job = immediate). Once we run the commands, he will be asked to make sure we really want to stop the export and the process will stop – either immediately or after a few minutes. For example:
Export> kill
Are you sure you wish to stop this job ([yes]/no): y
3. Resuming the export process :
If we’ve made a regular stop the process (in fact, we actually kind of suspended it), then we can reconnect to the process and turn it back on. In order to do that, We will need to find the name of the job we stopped (note the following command to state that he was NOT RUNNING):
SQL>SELECT owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode, state FROM dba_datapump_jobs;
OWNER_NAME  JOB_NAME              OPERATION  JOB_MODE       STATE
----------- --------------------- ---------- -------------- -------------
AHMEDENG    SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01    EXPORT     FULL           NOT RUNNING
4. And attach the job again:
oracle@Linux$expdp attach=SYS_EXPORT_FULL_01
