Unable to start extract(pump)

Question

Hi all,
Iam unable to start extract. It failed with following error:
'Database login information not specified in parameter file'.
Configuration of extract is as follows:
GGSCI (rhel) 33> view params e1tab1
EXTRACT e1tab1
USERID ggadmin@rhel, PASSWORD ggadmin
EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/e1tab1
TABLE SANDY.TAB1;
GGSCI (rhel) 34> view params e1tab11
EXTRACT e1tab11
NOPASSTHRU
RMTHOST rhel1, MGRPORT 7809
RMTTRAIL ./dirdat/r1tab11.dat
TABLE SANDY.TAB1;
I specified database login credentials in e1tab1. And it started sucessfully. But e1tab11 is failed to start.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sandy

I don't understand the problem you have with the requirements to have the database connection specified in the parameter file. It's not a matter of debate. Write your own replication program/application if you don't like having to do this.
Include the following parameters plus any others that apply to your database environment.
-- Identify the data pump group:
EXTRACT <pump>
-- Specify database login information as needed for the database:
[SOURCEDB <dsn_1>,][USERID <user>[, PASSWORD <pw>]]
-- Specify the name or IP address of the target system:
RMTHOST <target>, MGRPORT <portnumber>
-- Specify the remote trail on the target system:
RMTTRAIL <remote_trail>
-- Allow mapping, filtering, conversion or pass data through as-is:
[PASSTHRU | NOPASSTHRU]
-- Specify tables to be captured:
TABLE <owner>.<table>;
