Problem Description


When performing an export on version on Oracle database version 8i, the following errors are returned after exporting the synonyms:

   Exp-00008: Oracle error 29516 encountered.    ORA-29516: Aurora assertion failure: Assertion failure at eox.c:187    Uncaught exception Root of all Java exceptions:    EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully  

Solution Description


  1. First, run catexp as sys. Then retry the export. Often times this will fix the problem and then export will run without error.
  2. If running catexp as sys does not fix the errors, the problem may be one of hitting a resource issue for the export, try increasing the db_block_buffers and size of your rollback segments. Then try the export if it is still fails, try the following:
  3. It appears that the errors relate to a bad or incomplete installation of JAVAVM, which stands for java virtual machine. This is installed using initjvm.sql. If using this, then verify with our Unix group whether or not the installation of it was successful.

The ORA-29516 means that something failed in the JAVAVM when export tried to call into it, probably to attempt to translate a synonym from short to long form. It may be that there are cases where export decides to do this when Java has not been loaded, in which case the error here might result. To verify what is currently in your database please run the following queries:

   select owner,synonym_name,table_owner,table_name from all_synonyms where    table_owner = 'DLC535' or owner = 'DLC535';

   select count(*) from all_objects where object_type like 'JAVA%'    If the jvm was installed you should find about 8000 objects

If you do not intend on using this please deinstall it using the following instructions:

 Remove it by deinstalling it as SYS

The export should then run successfully.
