Some fundamentals missing. Couple of counter questions:

1. Database version(s)
2. You appear to be using DB Links
   • have you defined them to connect with passwords?
3. Why are you granting "select any' priv?
   • could you get away with "GRANT SELECT ON table"?
4. Who owns synonym for schema2.table_name?
5. Who runs the procedure when the error occurs?
   • which authid for the procedure? definer or current_user?

and OT/6) Any relation to Andrew S.?
