After that, there were 202 invalid objects within the DB with the object_type “JAVA CLASS” (101 objects) and “SYNONYM” (101 objects)”.

Not sure what happened and why. The dbms_java package seemed good because I could use dbms_java.longname(object_name) on dba_objects.

Tried to recompile all objects with “@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql” and it didn’t help.

Tried to manually compile a few invalid objects and got the same ORA-29534 error.

Because the invalid objects were about AQ and jms, I tried to use “@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/initjms.sql” to load AQ/JMS jar files into the database. But it failed with another ORA-29532 error:

Based on the error ORA-29532 and after compared another good system, I decided to get Oracle XDK installed first because classes from jar files imported via dbms_java.loadjava are dependent on a valid installation of:

  • Oracle JavaVM
  • Oracle XDK
  • Oracle XDB

Login SQLPlus as sysdba and run:

@?/xdk/admin/initxml.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/catnojav.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/catjava.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
  1. initxml.sql — initialize (load) XML components in JServer which creates Oracle XDK component.
  2. catnojava.sql — remove the RDBMS Java classes and system triggers created by the catjava.sql script.
  3. catjava.sql — create Java classes for RDBMS features.
  4. utlrp.sql — recompile invalid objects.

After that, I recreated data dictionary views and PL/SQL packages and recompiled all objects again:

@?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

All invalid objects were gone at this point and all 8 components in dba_registry are valid.

Update on 2021.09:

I saw another 18c system with both CATJAVA and JAVAVM invalid, when tried to run @?/rdbms/admin/catnojav.sql and got the error:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: JServer is not operational in the database; JServer is required to
remove CATJAVA from the database.
ORA-06512: at line 7

Followed Doc ID 757771.1 and recompile after marking them VALID in the registry:

sqlplus / as sysdba
execute sys.dbms_registry.loaded('JAVAVM');
execute sys.dbms_registry.loaded('CATJAVA');
execute sys.dbms_registry.valid('JAVAVM');
execute sys.dbms_registry.valid('CATJAVA');
@?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

Still got JAVAVM with status INVALID. Then followed the option 1 from Doc ID 2314363.1

SQL> alter system set java_jit_enabled = FALSE;
SQL> alter system set "_system_trig_enabled"=FALSE;

-- Keep a Note of original JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES value before this
SQL> alter system set JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0;

SQL> create or replace java system
/

SQL> alter system set java_jit_enabled = true;
SQL> alter system set "_system_trig_enabled"=TRUE;
SQL> alter system set JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=<original value>;
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

All components are valid and no more invalid objects afterwards.
