Examples

The following example shows how to create a Data Pump job by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL. Depending on the operation specified in the request body, the Data Pump job can be an import or an export job.

curl -i -X POST -u username:password 
-d @request_body.json 
-H "Content-Type:application/json" https://rest_server_url/ords/orcl/pdbadmin/_/db-api/stable/database/datapump/jobs/

Example of Request Body

Note:

The URL structure https://rest_server_url/resource-path, used in the preceding command has the following components:
  • rest_server_url is the REST server where Oracle Rest Data Server is running
  • The remainder of the URL includes the ORDS context root, the database identifier, the schema identifier, the version of ORDS Database API to use, and the path for this operation.

The following is an example of a request body for submitting a Data Pump request to export the HR schema.

{
  "operation": "EXPORT",
  "schema_expressions": [
    {
      "expression": "IN ( 'HR' )"
    }
  ]
}

The following is an example of a request body for submitting a Data Pump request to import the HR schema and map it to the BLAKE schema.

{
  "operation": "IMPORT",
  "job_mode": "FULL",
  "file_name": "EXPDAT%U2019-03-25-12_55_03.DMP",
  "remap_schemas": [
    {
      "source": "HR",
      "target": "BLAKE"
    }
  ]
}
