Ora-39000 Bad Dump File Specification Ora-31641 Unable To Create Dump File 100%

Check the permissions of the directory:

By default, Oracle Data Pump is designed to protect existing data and will not overwrite a dump file if it already resides in the destination. When this happens, Oracle generates the following error stack: Bad dump file specification. ORA-31641: Unable to create dump file "string". ORA-27038: Created file already exists. Primary Solutions 1. Use the REUSE_DUMPFILES Parameter

Oracle follows symlinks, but the ultimate target must be writable by the Oracle user. Check permissions on the final destination, not the symlink itself.

ls -ld /path/to/your/directory

For Oracle to write a dump file, the directory must be writable by the user running the Oracle process. The ideal permission set is 775 (owner: oracle, group: dba) or 755 .

If you get No such file or directory , the path is invalid. Create it:

The directory object points to /u01/app/oracle/dump , which is a symlink to /archivelogs/dump . But /archivelogs is owned by a different user.
