I am running following command to dump my database
./expdp username/password@//host:port/database directory=/home/ubuntu/oracle/instantclient_12_2 dumpfile=dumpfilename.dmp content=METADATA_ONLY
and getting following error
Export: Release 12.2.0.1.0 - Production on Fri Sep 14 06:14:28 2018

UDE-00018: Data Pump client is incompatible with database version 12.1.0.2.0
I tried searching and there were suggestion to use VERSION
parameter which I did still no success.
Does anyone have idea what should i do to overcome the issue?
I cant use instantclient-tools-macos.x32-12.1.0.2.0.zip
as it doesnt have expdp
command.

Are you sure about the target and source version? I did here and worked right. My source DB version was 12.1.0.2.0 and the target was 12.2.0.1.0. Please, see my example below:
