..

UDE-31623: operation generated ORACLE error 31623
ORA-31623: a job is not attached to this session via the specified handle

CAUSES

Stream pool size is too small, and there is no more memory for stream pool to increase.

SOLUTION

Increase streams_pool_size:

SQL> show parameter streams_pool_size

NAME              TYPE        VALUE
----------------- ----------- ---------
streams_pool_size big integer 20M

SQL> alter system set streams_pool_size=128M ;

If not enough memory available:

SQL>  alter system flush SHARED_POOL;
System altered.

-- OR 

SQL> alter system flush BUFFER_CACHE;
System altered.

SQL> alter system set streams_pool_size=128M ;

For AMM or ASMM, after data pump is complete, reset the parameter to leave system to manage this parameter again.

SQL> alter system reset streams_pool_size;
