ORA-31633: unable to create master table "SCHEMA_PROD.TABLE1"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 95
ORA-06512: at "SYS.KUPV$FT", line 863
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object

Details

When performing and export using data pump you receive the error as above due to the
fact that the exp was previously executed and not completed due to the fact the it was
canceled or stopped for some reason. As a result the new expdp job has the same name
as the old expdp job.

Solution

Verify that the table associated with the expdp job exists:

SQL> select table_name from dba_tables where table_name like '%TABLE1%';

 

TABLE_NAME                                                                     

------------------------------                                                 

TABLE1 

Identified that data pump job exists and the status of the job is NOT RUNNING

SQL>SELECT owner_name, job_name, operation, job_mode, state, attached_sessions

FROM dba_datapump_jobs WHERE job_name NOT LIKE 'BIN$%' ORDER BY 1,2;

Drop the table                                                          

SQL> drop table SCHEMA_PROD.TABLE1;

 
Table dropped.
