The original problem is that packages go invalid in the middle of the day with no upgrading going on, no physical changes happening in the database, nothing happening except the normal day-to-day operation of the system.
We have seen this happening since 8i. We recently upgraded to 92040 and I have seen it once in the last week where it produced a dump - I dont know how many times it happened where no dump was produced. In 92021 we could see it multiple times in a day. There is a problem out there that Oracle can't seem to recreate. -----Original Message----- Mladen Gogala Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 1:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L NOT - Found word(s) to be removed remove home list error e-mail in the Text body. Victoria, there is a whole slew of bugs with upgrade and patch application. Here are two of them: Patch 3099699 Description REPCA: CATPATCH LEAVES RDBMS UNUSABLE (INVALID OBJECTS IN, LBACSYS [OLS]) Patch 2949941 Description RULES ENGINE OBJECTS BECOME INVALID AFTER UPGRADE There are quie a few others, not listed here. There was probably a SYS-owned object left invalid during upgrade, which caused dependency problems. Solution is to upgrade to 9.2.0.4 now that you've already upgraded to 9.2.0.1 and run $ORALCE_HOME/rdbms/utlirp to recompile all invalid objects in the database. It's always advised to so after any upgrade or patching of the database.
