ORA-39095: Dump file space has been exhausted

Problem Description
I ran my datapump export operation with the combination of multiple dumpfile arguments and filesize parameter but it fails with ORA-39095 as below.

maximsg@TIGER> $expdp maximsg/a dumpfile=d:parti1.dmp,e:parti2.dmp,c:resit%U.dmp filesize=188417 tablespaces=users

Note that both in first and second case same errors are return but they show various bytes in order of unable to allocate. In first case Unable to allocate 188416 bytes and in second case Unable to allocate 208896 bytes.

Cause of the Error
They are many cause for which ORA-39095 is fired.
1)If the summation of dumpfile sizes that is specified in the datapump parameters is less than total dumpfile size that produces then ORA-39095 returns. Like in the second case the filesize is specified as 200K and only one dumpfile is specified. So maximum dumpfile size that can be produced is no more than 200K. If dumpfile to be produced is greater than 100K then above error will return.

Note that %U specification for the dump file can expand up to 99 files.
If 99 files have been generated before the export has completed, it will again return the ORA-39095 error. If in the second case %U is specified then maximum dumpfile size can be 99*200K=19800K. If dumpfile to be produced is greater than 19800K then error will return.


2)Like in the first case the size of filesize is too small and hence the error returns. filesize is defined about 184K(188407 bytes). And in the error message it shows unable to allocate 184K(188407 bytes). The solutions is and extra block is needed. As with 4k (with standard block size 8k) a block is generated so 188K filesize will solve the problem.

Solution of the Error
1)Increase the total dumpfile number so that dump produced by export operation is lower than total dumpfile sizes that is specified in the expdp.
With the 'wildcard' specification (%U) the dump file can expand up to 99 files.

2)Use a bigger filesize value.

3)Another option is to use,
dumpfile=dmpdir1:part1_%U.dmp, dmpdir2:part2_%U.dmp, dmpdir3:part3_%U.dmp
