Yeah.. I know I am late...just catching up.
If you are still looking for some
workaround...*TEMPORARY* workaround is to use
DBMS_SNAPSHOT.SET_I_AM_A_REFRESH (TRUE) and then you
can do DMLs. But beware....all replication triggers
would be disabled when you set it to true. After you
are done set it to false.
