SubObjective: Explain Data Pump architecture

Single Answer Multiple Choice

Which interactive command is used to terminate a data pump job so that it cannot be restarted again?

A. STOP_JOB
B. KILL_JOB
C. TERMINATE_JOB
D. You cannot stop a data pump job.

Answer:
B. KILL_JOB

Tutorial:
The KILL_JOB interactive command is used to terminate a data pump job so that it cannot be restarted later.

The STOP_JOB interactive command can be used to stop a data pump job. The stopped job can be restarted later.

The TERMINATE_JOB interactive command is an invalid interactive command. This command does not exist in Oracle.

The option stating you cannot stop a data pump job is incorrect. A data pump job can be stopped using the STOP_JOB and KILL_JOB interactive commands.
