ORA-39087: Directory Name Is Invalid

You may get ORA-39087 and ORA-39070 while doing expdp.

This usually comes , when the user don’t have permission on that directory.

Solution :

Grant read,write permission to the user:

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

Granted
Now try to take export again. It should work.

[oracle@node1 ~]$ expdp dumpfile=test.dmp directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR logfile=test.log parallel=2 tables=TEST.test
