I have been experiencing some packages that cannot be automatically handled by Oracle
when they become invalidated. Here's the scenario: We have package1 that calls
package2 which, in turn, calls package3. Under normal circumstances, if package3's
specification gets recompiled,
package1(?) and package2 will be marked with a status of INVALID. This flags Oracle to
re-parse it and mark the status VALID (excluding any coding errors). The problem comes
in to play when, every once in a while, a tester or developer will get an error 6508 -
could not find
program unit... The fix has been to recompile the package being called by the alter
package command. You see the bigger problem here... finding the actual library being
referred to! I have to jump into the developers code and walk through the execution.
And yes I am trying to get
the developers to do this on their own.
My question is: What is preventing Oracle from re-parsing the package? It has nothing
to do with system load or lack of SGA.
We're running Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 on Solaris 2.6 w/latest patchset.
Thanks in advance
