Cleaning up Oracle SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_xx jobs

Sometimes expdp jobs fail for any number of reasons. Re-running the tool, I noticed that the number had increased since the prior run; e.g., SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_02 instead of SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_01. As it turns out, these are potentially orphaned jobs, so clean ’em up!

Generally, copied from Anar Godjaev’s excellent blog post:

SQL> select owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode, state, attached_sessions from dba_datapump_jobs;

SQL> drop table {owner_name}.SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_01;
SQL> purge table {owner_name}.SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_01;
