CATPROC invalid components in Registry

CATPROC - Packages and Types Invalid in Dba_registry

When i looked in to the DBA_REGISTRY, I found that the Oracle Database Packages and TypesColumn in the Table is in INVALID  state.

I had this problem after my database has been upgraded from Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2.

SQL> select substr(comp_name,1,30) comp_name, substr(comp_id,1,10)

      comp_id,substr(version,1,12) version,status from dba_registry;

  2

Causes:
The probable causes for dba_registry components became invalid could be any of the following.

·                     Applied a patch and after the patch application because of some dependent object status change registry can become invalid

·                     Installed a new component and the new component installation got failed then registry components could become invalid

·                     catalog.sql or catproc.sql was not successfully ran after database creation. Any of them would have failed somewhere or any of the dependent object got invalid afterward

You can try the below steps to validate if you don’t have any invalid object in the database

SQL> select count(*) from dba_objects where status=’INVALID’;

COUNT(*)
———-
0

SQL> exec DBMS_REGISTRY_SYS.VALIDATE_CATPROC;

If you have any invalid objects in the database then follow the below steps

SQL> SQL> select count(*) from dba_objects where status='INVALID';

  COUNT(*)

'Packages and Types' can usually be validated by running catalog and catproc scripts:

$sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL> startup restrict
SQL > @?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
SQL > @?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
SQL > @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

SQL> select substr(comp_name,1,30) comp_name, substr(comp_id,1,10)

      comp_id,substr(version,1,12) version,status from dba_registry;
