Bug 17718899 – EXPDP ON STANDARD EDITION ONE SHOWS MESSAGES “OLAP NOT ENABLED”
closed with status ‘Not a Bug’ with below comment:

OLAP is not available in Standard Edition One (SE1) or Standard Edition (SE) as per the Database Licensing Information document,
it is only available in Enterprise Edition (EE).

This message is intentionally output for DATAPUMP and coded as such in 11.2.0.4 and higher Standard Edition One (SE1) or Standard Edition (SE).

From the Datapump perspective these are warnings and it is safe to ignore them.

NOTE :
The same symptoms can be encountered with the Oracle Enterprise Edition when OLAP is not installed.

SOLUTION :
The OLAP related warnings can be safely ignored for DataPump usage.
