Hi, When running expdp if the dumpfile already exists we get the following error: ORA-39001: invalid argument value ORA-39000: bad dump file specification ORA-31641: unable to create dump file "/space/backup/hs.dmp" ORA-27038: created file already exists Additional information: 1 Is there any way to force overwrite the existing dump file?
