Three types of files are managed by Data Pump jobs:• Dump files for data and metadata that is to be moved• Log files for messages
• SQL files for the output of a SQLFILE operation

Because Data Pump is server based rather than client based, Data Pump files are accessed relative to Oracle directory paths. Absolute paths are not supported for security reasons.
