After enabling tracing for ORA-00942 error with "alter system set events '942 trace name ERRORSTACK level 3' ", revealed that the missing tables are all Database Vault related.
The generated trace file shows that DVSYS.KU$_DV_ISR_VIEW KU$ does not exist in PDB, hence causing PDB expdp job to fail:


 

Changes

Database was upgraded from 11.2.X to 12.2.
The error is seen in an Multitenant environment where Database Vault is not enabled.
One has to execute the following command to see whether the Oracle software was compiled with the dv_on option:

$ ar -t libknlopt.a | grep -c kzvidv.o

For IBM AIX:
$ ar -X64 -t libknlopt.a | grep -c kzvidv.o

- If the output is 0, the option is disabled.
- If the output is 1, the option is enabled.
