I don't hold out much hope here Jack. It sounds like data dictionary corruption; maybe somewhere round user$(?). That's not to say the situation's irretrievable; I've seen OTS fix some bad situations in my time but I'm not sure that I'd want to keep the database even if Oracle Support can fix the problem.
Regards, Mike -----Original Message----- Sent: 12 June 2002 14:23 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Listers, Our warehouse now has a split personality and we have a sev1 open on it. Suspect recovery is in the cards, but want to avoid if possible. Yesterday, users unable to get to their own functions. Soon after, RMAN cannot find package dbms_backup_restore, even though it exists under sys. Oncall ran the sql script to recreate - and the pacakge was recreated under a schema called dma_rbate2. RMAN now finds the package under dma_rbate2, although it is invalid. Drop the package under dma_rbate2, and now RMAN cannot find the package any longer, although it still exists under sys. Logged in as sys. Tried to desc dbms_backup_restore - no luck. Tried to desc sys.dbms_backup_restore - success. Analyst reccomends running catalog.sql. Oncall does so, and it creates as many packages as it is able under dma_rbate2. I get up this AM and can't login, because the sessions can't find the package dma_rbate2.dbms_application_info. Anyone? Buhler?
