Hello Gurus Please help me in dropping and recreating the snapshots. what happened was. I had connection down between we adn the destination, when the connection came alive , I tried to do following to refresh the snapshots. 1- exec dbms_job.run(153) This did not do any good so I tried. 2- exec dbms_snapshot.refresh('snapshotname','?') This worked on 8 out of 10. The two did not get refreshed and they are not getting refreshed since two days now. I tried to drop them and recreste them. They do not get drop.
