export whole database

Can you please tell me this is right to export whole database using the par file


Export:
directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR
dumpfile=expdp_PCHARTKWT_FCHARTKWT_04022014.dmp
logfile=expdp_PCHARTKWT_FCHARTKWT_04022014.log
schemas=??


what we need to add if we want to export whole database ie all users

The FULL parameter indicates that a complete database export is required. The following is an example of the full database export and import syntax.

    expdp system/password@db10g full=Y directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G.log

    impdp system/password@db10g full=Y directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=impdpDB10G.log

reference from oracle-base

in your case, you just have to add

FULL=Y

in your parameter file, you don't need schemas clause

Remember that directory here is an alias, pointing to some physical path.  It will require read write permissions inside the database: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Datapump.

We name this file exportjob.par

and go to the os level
and give

nohup exportjob.par


Is that enough..
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp parfile=<some path to the directory for>par_file.par

Assuming your other ORACLE environment variables are right....  I generally don't use the nohup option, as there's an internal way to monitor status.  Your call.
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp parfile=exportjob.par
This suffices as per your file name
Agree with dvz
There is an option in Dba_datapump_jobs data dictionary to check progress of data pump job
Anyway its ur call.. if you wish to monitor the process at is level its fine
@wasimibm -- doesn't your syntax imply that the parameter file is in the default directory?
We may be confusing one another with the author's question (ID: 39989754).
Yeah may be.. let's leave it out for authors knowledge.. I logged in from my mobile.. was bit slow in typing.. haven't seen your first comment.. after I saw it posted another one which I agreed with you..
@Tony -try out and we are there in case of any further help ...!!!
You might have changed the requirement a little bit now and would have asked out this probably

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28409087/all-schema-export.html

probably, you better explore data pump utility as a whole, you can find a lot of interesting things with many options

all schemas is as good as whole data base, however you can do that, instead of
full=y

you have use schemas clause like
schemas=schema1,schema2

eg:
schemas=scott,hr,system

and for par file

userid=system/<password>
directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR
dumpfile=expdp_PCHARTKWT_FCHARTKWT_04022014.dmp
logfile=expdp_PCHARTKWT_FCHARTKWT_04022014.log
schemas=system,scott,hr

For Startup's there is a good site, which shows illustration with commands,
