Hi Hemant,

Thank you for your response. I am calling it directly. I do the startup nomount, alter database convert, alter database open resetlogs. Then I fire off the cat8000 and then the catrep8m from svrmgrl.

I think this is a problem in my dictionary in 7.3.4 as when I recreate the test base and do an export/import and convert the base, it goes flawlessly. This base has limited downtime available, so I cannot do that to the live base.

Oracle support has told me to look at offline datafiles, but this is in the system tablespace, so if that file was offline or needed recovery, the base would be dead.

Any thoughts?

Thank you again,

--Chris

Are you calling the catrep8m script directly ? Or is it being called from some other script [eg catproc.sql ?]. Are you using Advanced Replication ?

Hi everyone!

Has anyone seen this and know a solution? I am upgrading a base from 7.3.4 to 8.0.6. Everything appears to go fine until the catrep8m script. In that script I get several errors:

Statement processed.

                        (P.delivery_order < C.cscn))))) 
                           *

ORA-00904: invalid column name

Statement processed. 
Statement processed. 
Statement processed.

This then forces several dictionary packages invalid and they wont' recompile.

I have tried rebuilding the dictionary before I upgrade and rebuilding after I upgrade. Neither one seems to work. When I rebuild, the catrep script gives that same error.

So far Oracle hasn't been able to find it. Has anyone seen this and know the fix?

Thanks in advance.
