Answer 1

The error indicated that it stopped in "datapump FULL MODE IMPORT".
Further check in the destination DB, found that the "database directory objects" is missing. This folder in the OS is required for the data pump export utility to work.
Solution:
Do this in downstream DB
1. create directory streams_dp_dir as '/u01/streams_dp_dir';
FORWARD_BLOCK
-- Datapump FULL MODE IMPORT
DECLARE
  h1                NUMBER := NULL;
