In the multitenant database, For getting an export dump from the pluggable database, we need a follow a bit different process.

DEMO:

PLUGGABLE DATABASE(PDB) – PRE1
SCHEMA_NAME – DBACLASS ( this schema/user is present in PDB PRE1)

1. Make sure PDB service is registered in the listener.

 $ lsnrctl status LISTENER_POC

LSNRCTL for Solaris: Version 12.1.0.2.0 - Production on 07-NOV-2018 11:12:26

STATUS of the LISTENER

  Instance "POC", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "pre2" has 1 instance(s).
  Instance "POC", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully

2. Add the entry in tnsnames.ora file for the pdb PRE1.

cat $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

PRE1 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1523))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = pre1)
    )
  )

3. Now create a directory for datapump under the PDB.(pre1)

SQL> show pdbs

    CON_ID CON_NAME                       OPEN MODE  RESTRICTED
---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------
         2 PDB$SEED                       READ ONLY  NO
         3 PRE1                           READ WRITE NO
         4 PRE2                           READ WRITE NO
SQL> alter session set container=PRE1;

Session altered.


SQL> show pdbs

    CON_ID CON_NAME                       OPEN MODE  RESTRICTED
---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------
         3 PRE1                           READ WRITE NO


SQL> create directory PDB_EXPDIR as '/export/home/oracle';

Directory created.


4. Now run the EXPDP:

$ expdp DBACLASS/DBACLASS@pre1 dumpfile=dbaclass.dmp logfile=dbaclass.log directory=PDB_EXPDIR SCHEMAS=DBACLASS schemas=DBACLASS

 expdp DBACLASS/DBACLASS@pre1 dumpfile=dbaclass.dmp logfile=dbaclass.log directory=PDB_EXPDIR SCHEMAS=DBACLASS schemas=DBACLASS

We have successfully ran expdp in pluggable database. Similarly for import only we can follow same steps.
