@Steven Matison I made it work by passing sqoop command as arguments in workflow.xml. Please have a look at my workflow.xml and job.properties file. This is working absolutely fine. job.properties: nameNode=hdfs://(namenode):8020 jobTracker=(resourcemanager):8050/8032 queueName=default oozieExecutionFolder=oozietest/sqoop oozie.use.system.libpath=true oozie.wf.application.path=${nameNode}/user/${user.name}/${oozieExecutionFolder} workflow.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.

Additionaly you have to mention postgresql driver jar file path inside file tag in workflow.xml. The given configuration is more than enough to run oozie-sqoop job successfully. Good to go !! 🙂 ...
