echo Set Oracle Database Env
export ORACLE_SID=$1
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/lib
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export TIMESTAMP=`date +%a%d%b%Y`
export EXP_DIR=/export/home/oracle
echo =======
echo Export command
echo =======
echo $ORACLE_HOME
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp \'/ as sysdba\' directory=DB_DUMPS dumpfile=expdp_tab_${TIMESTAMP}_%U.dmp logfile=expdp_log_${TIMESTAMP}.log tables=DBATEST.ORDER_TAB PARALLEL=6 COMPRESSION=ALL
echo SEND MAIL TO STAKE HOLDERS
echo =======
mailx -s "$ORACLE_SID $TIMESTAMP Export backup logfile" support@dbaclass.com < $EXP_DIR/expdp_log_${TIMESTAMP}.log
echo Export completed at $TIMESTAMP
exit
give 755 permission
chmod 755 EXP_TAB_cmprss.sh
Now configure the script in crontab as below( pass the ORACLE_SID )
00 15 * * * /export/home/oracle/EXP_TAB_cmprss.sh TESTDB
NOTES: Please let us know if you are getting aany errors:

Ok, but how to remove dmp files for exmaple:
rm /export/home/oracle *expdp_tab_${TIMESTAMP}_%U.dmp -mtime +30 -delete
andleave one which was generated a last of month.
Will add that part also
find /export/home/ -name “*.dmp” -mtime +30 -exec rm -vf {} \;
test –> find /export/home/ -name “*.dmp” -mtime +30 -exec ls -lrth {} \;
or you simply make the dumpfiles reusable
Add reuse_dumpfiles=y
Thanks for the scripts. Really helpful.
After running the expdp command successfully, the script is not proceeding to next line.
Instead I have to press Ctrl+D manually to proceed for further execution.
Any idea “How to overcome this issue?”
Please let me know how you executed the shell script. You configured in crontab and it ran from that schedule?
Also your os type(linux or solaris or hp)
