Can I Store Datapump dumpfiles in ASM diskgroup?

Step 1:

 Go To ASM Instance and Create New Directory.

I have 2 DISKS (i.e, DATA & NEWDATA)

ASMCMD [+] > ls

DATA/

NEWDATA/

SQL> alter diskgroup data add directory '+DATA/Dataset';

Diskgroup altered.

ASMCMD [+] > cd DATA

ASMCMD [+DATA] > ls

ASM/

ASMDB/

Dataset/                                           <---- // Created using above command

MYASM/

ORCL/

ORCL1/

Step 2:

 Go to DB Instance

SQL> create or replace directory datapump_asm as '+DATA/Dataset/';

Directory created.

SQL> grant read , write on directory datapump_asm to system;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> create or replace directory logfile as '/u01/';

Directory created.

SQL> grant read , write on directory logfile to system;

Grant succeeded.

NOTE:   ‘Nikhil’ is user  &  NIK_EMP is a Table

Step 3: Doing Export using datapump

SQL> ! expdp system/sys directory=datapump_asm dumpfile=testASM.dmp schemas=nikhil.nik_emp logfile=logfile:abc.log;
