Was there a remap_schema while doing a impdp? if so, that could be one of your problem. We really need to see the trigger text to identify the issue. Since it mentions dbms_session, it could be that you are missing privileges related to contexts? there are multiple possibilties. Please compare privileges from dba_sys_privs for the user in source and target and see what is missing. Also compare tab_privs, it could be that one of the table privs from another schema is missing? Check impdp log for reported issues as well. I wouldnt try inserting until that trigger compiles correctly. Raj -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
