ORA-39083: Object type TABLE:"MSDBA"."TEST_TABLE" failed to create with error:
ORA-12990: duplicate option specified

The ORA-12990 error is related with the export – import of Read Only Tables.

If you got this error, and if your tables are read only mode, then convert the tables into READ / WRITE as follows.

alter table <table_name> read write;

Once you convert the tables into read write mode, then export the tables again, then try to import again. You won’t get this error.

Second solution:

I have created the missing of tables manually, then I have started impdp with TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=TRUNCATE, or You can create the tables manually, then you can use the insert into select command.

There is known Bug 31948408 – IMPDP FAILS WITH ORA-24067 DURING IMPORTING A BIG PARTITIONED TABLE WITH MULTIPL at status 11 which develoment is still investigating.

and the current known workaround is to :

import big partitioned tables with parallel=1 or MAX_DATAPUMP_PARALLEL_PER_JOB = 1 or 2.
